TO SAVE HAVEMEYER.
That Is the Purpose of Gray
and Lindsay.
They Think the Questions He Re-
fused to Answer Were
Not Pertinent.

WASHINGTON. June 19.-George w. Sils-
by, broker, through whom the son of Sen
aior Ransom had dealings in sugar
stocks, was asked by the investigating
committee to-day how the order slip con-
tanning Ransom's name became public.
Silsby said the answer would probably in
volve a reference TO criminal proceedings
aud be must decline TO reply. He was
temporarily excused. The inference is
that the slip was stolen from his Office. lie
said Senator Ransom had not speeu-
lated. i John w. Mccartney, broker, de-
clined TO give the committee any NORMA
ton as TO private orders for sugar stock
or say whether Senators had been among
his customers.
Lester, the telegraph operator for Car
son e. Mccartney, declined TO answer
questions as TO whether he had wired or
ders for sugar stocks and was excused
after very brief examination.
Davis is expected to make the re-
port tomorrow of the majority of the
committee on Mr.. Havemeyer and Seares
to the District Attorney, but Gray and
Lindsay desired to present a min ority
report. and the majority report has been
withheld so it might all be made at once.
Gray and Lindsay think the questions
which Havemeyer and Searles refused to
answer are not pertinent to the inyestiga-
tion under the resolution.

deal Of uncertainty about the Railroad
Commissioners, and at the present time
about the only thing that can confidently
be stated is that none of the incum-
bents can be renominated. Jim Rea of
San Jose is very anxious for ''vindicatioD,"
but he is not likely to get it. His own dele
cation has had the nerve TO put him for
ward again, but they have discovered that
it will not go. 81 tonight Rea is practi-
cally a dead cock in the pit. He has &C
knowledged to his Santa Clara friends that
he cannot win, and his name Will probably
not 60 before the convention. His success
full opponent may be Mayor Clark of Stock
ton.
In the San Francisco district the candi-
dates are Parsons, Byrnes aud Sopntag.
The one upon which the railroad has de-
cided is not known. Sonntag is confident
and so is Parsons, but neither knows where
be is at. There is loud whisper that i'm
Byrnes Of San Mateo is the slate candidate.
In the Northern district there is talk of
renominatIng BeckmaD, who also desires a
"Vindication," but 1t is quite likely that
Reed of Placer will receive the nomina-
ton.
The personnel of the State Board of
Equalization will depend. with the excep-
ton of Morehouse. upon the trades that
are being made on State officers. To-mor-
row will probably tell the whole story.

held off to await the action of the bosses

FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
Professional Teams to Be Put i'm the
Large Cities.

NEW YORK, June 19.-The American
League of Professional Football Clubs
was made permanent organization at the
Broadway Central Hotel to-day. 1t is be-
ing backed by management of six leading
Eastern clubs of the National Base ball
League. After giving the organization a
name the following temporary officers
were elected: President, A. Irwin; sec
rotary and treasurer, G. E. Stackhouse.
The object of the league is to play foot
ball games in each of the cities represented
from October 1 until January l. Each
city will be represented by the strongest
players that can be secured. Home talent
will be given the preference for the first
season at least. The American Associa-
tion football rules of 1894 will govern all
contests. A schedule will be arranged
shortly by which a club will play four
games with every other club In the asso.
citation. two at home and two abroad. A
constitution similar to that which at pres
ent governs the national clubs, with the
exception of few notifications, was also
adopted to-day.
The Philadelphia club has already en-
gagged seven players ard the Washington
eight. The other clubs will begin signing
players In a few days.

ONE MAN KILLED INSTANT

OMAHA, June ia special to the Bee
from ChadrOD, Nebr.. says: At 80 O'Clock
this afternoon, with an almost cloudles:
sky, terrific windstorm broke upon the
city. resulting in much damage to property
and at least one fatality. While it could
not properly be called a cyclone or tor.
nadO it was the most severe wind ever
heard of in this section. 1t was impossible
to see across the street on account of fly.
Ing dirt and gravel. while signs, boxes,
ehlcken-cOops and gates. as well as the
roofs of many buildings. were fiyiDe
around as if made of paper.
John +. Tenzer, lum herman on Egan
street. ran out of his office as the sheds be-
hind in his yard started to go to pieces.
He ran across the street, and as he was
passing a blacksmith shop one of the
heaviest doors of the front was suddenly
torn off its hinges and struck him on the
head, crushing his skull so that his brains
OoZed out. Although he lived for fifteen
minutes it was clear from the first that he
would not survive. His face was mashed
to a jelly-a most sickening sight. Mr..
TenZer was a highly respected business
man, having resided here for the past five
years. He was a single man. His rela-
tives in Ohio have been notified.
Mrs. Albert Mead had q miraculous es-
cape. She was out driving and the entire
rig was blown on top of picket fence,
splintering the buggy and knocking the
horse senseless. Beyond a severe bIuise
she escaped unhurt.
Robert Hoods lumber yard, Colonel
GaylOrd'S dwelling. W. Smiths livery
barn, j. p. Cooks warehouse, j. F. Ten
Zer's lumb Der yard and Tug Wilson's
dwelling suffered the greatest damage,
although at least twenty other buildings
were partially unroofed or otherwise dam
aged. One barn was turned around, not
least. All the windows in the west side
of the courthouse were broken, while al
most every outbuildiAg and fence was
blown away. Several people were slightly
injured by flying objects. The storm
seemed to be local one, headed north
west and starting about five miles from
the city, where several faTmh0uses were
wrecked.
No other town seems to have been In its
path. 1t was followed by slight shower
and nail, when the sun came out and the
rest of the day was perfectly clear.
GALLATIN. Tex, June 19.-Persons arriv-
ing from Lafayette say that Henry Baton

GETAWAY DAY.
Three Great Jockeys Ride Out a
Desperate Finish.


Desperate Finish.
New YORK, June 19-Jt was getaway
day at Morris Park and the rich Eclipse
stakes for two-year- Odds and the Belmont
stakes for three-year-olds were the attrac-
tions. When the flag fell, alter a long
delay. Walter, the favorite, took the lead,
closely followed by Sir Galahad and Con-
nOisseur, and they raced in that position
until the dip was reached, when the latter
wanted to quit, but Garrison began with
whip and spur and the colt concluded to
90 on. At the last eighth Walter had
enough of it and could not 60 any further
in spite of Griffin's hard work. Then
Garrison on ConnOisseur and Simms on
Utica challenged Sir Galahad and furious
drive ensued between the three leading
jockeys In the race. The colts finished
well together, Garrison fairly lifting his
mount acros the lines and ready to fall.
Taral shook Simms off and got second
place. Utica struggled along in third.
The Belmont stakes proved a great dis
appointment, for Domino declined the issue
with Henry of Navarro and the latter had
no trouble in winning from Prix and
Assignee.

| reclamation, but 1t is not probable that
either Chapman or Mcdonald will thus
''lie down." An effort is now being made
to effect a combination on the basis that
In case Of no election on the first ballot the
opposition candidate developing the most
strength shall receive the support of the
others. That is to say, if Chapman has
more votes than Mcdonald. the Tehama
statesman thereafter shall receive the

vice versa.
OF course the consummation of this ar

1t Was His Fault That the Columbia
Ran Aground.

WASHINGTON, June 19-Secretary Her
bert has written the following letter to
Captain George W. Sumner, commanding
the Columbia, in regard to the grounding
of that vessel:
NAVY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON
June Is. {
Sir: L transmit herewith for your informa-
tion copy OF the findings and opinion Of the
court of inquiry which convened at the navy
yard League Island, Pa. on the 9th inst, in
pursuance of the departments order of the
4th idem., for the purpose OF inquiring into
the damage 10 the bottom of the United States
steamship Columbia by grounding, the extent
OF such damage and the time and place of the
grounding of said vessel by which the damage
referred TO was caused.
The proceedings, findings and opinion of the
court have to-day been approved.
The department regrets that it is compelled
to fully concur in the opinion of the court that
1t was the duty OF the commanding officer to
have been on the bridge when the vessel was
passing Bulk Shoal, ana it was also his duty to
have caused the speed of the vessel to be re-
dueed at that time. The speed over the bar
where the injury is found 10 have occurred
ought TO have been slower. and especially when
the fact is considered that with the water she
carried in her double bottom at the time there
was very small margin OF safety In view.
however, of the recommendation OF the court
that no further proceedings be had, the matter
will be regarded as closed with your acknowl.

LEFT LEADERLESS.
The Opposition to Estee Could Make
No Headway.

No Headway.
SACRAMENTO. June 19.-The story of
the days development is soon told. This
morning it was confidently announced
that the opposition to Burns and Estee
had at last united on a policy and was pre-
pared to make a winning fight. Judge
Short OF Fresno was TO be backed for
chairman of the convention by the Chip
man. McDonald-Pre combinati A
determined effort was t. be made to cap
ture the convention organization, and
meanwhile the claims of the various CAP
didates were to be held in allegiance. They
could be settled afterward. To that end
a meeting Of the "anti-boss" element was
called for P. NJ, an hour before the con-
ventiOn was to assemble. The meeting
was in Turner Hall. and accomplished
nothing. The main speech was made by
eX-State Senator Frank Greeley of Suffer.
He said it had been decided TO take no
action at the meeting, but to wait and
axe fight on the floor of the convention.
He declared that the Democrats intended
10 nominate Jackson Temple for Gov
ernor. He was very strong man, and an
equally strong man must be placed against
him. Personally, Greeley had nothing
against Estee. but he said be is really re-
gsrded as weak political timber. Estee
would lose one-third of the Republican
vote, and that would mean defeat. The
Republicans must make a straightout fight
and not associate with third parties. They
will have hard fight, even with a strong
candidate.
When he concluded the crowd dispersed.
The want of leadership on the part of the
opposition was again couspicuously sho wn
ana led TO It's complete undoing later at
the convention. No one had been selected
to lead the fight for Short or, if ne had
been, he did not raise his voice. Burns
and Estee carried the day by default.
The tactics of the opposition tomorrow
have not yet been announced and there is
not, indeed, great deal of interest in
them. inasmuch as it is pretty generally
conceded on all sides that the fight for
Estee is already won. Nothing but a
marvellous mischance can defeat him. The
talk tonight is that Estee Will 60 in by

Resolved, That the California League Of Re-

record as in favor OF purity in politics. We
believe that principles and candidates should
come as directly from the people as possible
and without the least possible diciaiion from
any source, and that any such dictatlons shall

JUAN CAPlsTRANo's DEATH.
He Was Probably Murdered by the
lnjio Brothers.

Los ANGELES. June 19.-The details of
a horrible murder reached here from Fair
mount, in the extreme northern portion of
the county. last Thursday. Juan and
Jose Injio quarreled with Juan Capis-
trano at the place of W. f. Skinner, and
but for the interposition of Skinner
Capistrano would have been killed, The
trio drove of, but soon Skinner saw the
Iniio brothers drive up. One was on
Capistrano's horse. Skinner was told that
Capistrano had been thrown by his horse
and killed. Skinner went to the place and
got the body.
Friday Justice at La Liebre held an in
quest on the body of Capistrano. The jury
deemed it was a case of murder and re-
fused to proceed with the inquest until the
Iujo brothers were summoned before
them. Justice Livesey to-day apprised
Coroner Gates of the facts and asked for
instructions. The inquest will be con-
tinued June %. In the meantime officers
are hun ting for the Injio brothers.
