NEARING AN AGREEMENT,
Officials of the Rival Jockey
Clubs Meet for Com
promise.
Lack of Entries Compels the Call
fornia Jockey Club to Post
pone Its Opening.

The differences which for some time past
existed in racing circles are now in fair
way of adjustment. To effect an agree
ment so as to avoid conflict of dates in
the programmes for the fall and winter
races of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and
the California Jockey Club. conference
was held recently at the rooms of 7. II.
Williams, president of the California Club.
The meeting was attended by A. B.
Spreckels, president of the Pacific Coast
Jockey Club; H. J. Croker and w. s.
Leake, representing the new racetrack in
terests at Ingleside.
A free exchange of views was had con-
corning the interests of racing on this
coast and while no definite conclusions
were reached, yet the meeting was long
leg in the direction of a peaceaole and sat
isfactory solution of the differences which
have heretofore existed in racing circles.
a. b. SpreCkels was seen yesterday and
said that the meeting held was preliminary
to one soon to be called, at which time it
was to be hoped that an amicable agree
ment would be made to the end that the
two clubs would have no conflict as to time
and interests.
The new track at Ingleside will be
opened on Novembe 1. There will be two
track, which is of sandy composition,
will be used during the rainy season, re
serving the main track, with covering of
black loan, for dry-weather racing, n ak
ing it the most complete racecourse in
America. Entries for the rich stake events
closed yesterday. with a most tiattering
showing for the new organization. The
number from this State alone amounts to
over 300 with horsemen from the other
side of the Rockies yet to be heard from.
Owing 10 a scarcity of entries the Off
Gals of the California Jockey Club decided
at meeting held last evening to postpone
the opening day of their fall meeting until
Saturday, September 81. Many of the best
horses are still at Sacramento, while those
that were not sent TO the State Fair meet
have been enjoying a needed letup, which
accounts for the paucity of available run
ming material.
President Williams gave out the infor-
nation yesterday that Jimmie" Rowe
will not be seen in the stand at the Bay
District during the forthcoming meeting.
The gentlemanly starter has other fields
in view, and his place has been filled by
the engagement of Joseph J. Burke, well
known to all racetrack patrons, who has
acted in the capacity OF judge on mo st of
the prominent racetracks in the country.
Mr.. Burke is very popular among horse
men, and the selection is considered wise
one.

Barnes objected, but the court allowed
the question, as there might be a chance
that some of the medicines would tend to
affect her memory. The witness said she
had taken several medicines, but took none
now. She called seven or eight off to
Deuprey, and he asked if she took them
all every day. This she rather Indignantly
denied. Then after few more questions
as to her sojourn in Alameda, the lawyers
for the defense held a long consultation
with Mr.. and Mrs. Durrant and with
Harry Morse: and it was then rather sud-
denly announced that they were through
with the REORGANIZATION.
Then Barnes asked few more questions

SILVER ADVOCATE COMING.
Congressman Bryan of Nebraska Will
Arrive Here To-Morrow.

Congressman Bryan of Nebraska Will
Arrive Here To-Morrow.
Congressman w. J. Bryan, the silver ad-
vocate, will arrive here from the north to-
morrow.
A personal letter received from. him by a
gentleman of this City yesterday an
nounced that he would leave Seattle on
the 18th for Portland, and that he expected
to reach here Wednesday. He will visit
the Stanford University on that day or
Thursday, and deliver an address to the
students on the silver question. While in
this City be will deliver addresses under
the auspices of the Bimetallic League, and
after leaving here he will visit Sacramento,
Fresno and Los Angeles, where meetings
will be arranged for him by the silver adj
vocates and bimetallists of those cities.
Congressman Bryan is one of the few
prominent Democrats who have taken up
the silver question with ardor. He is
thorough master of his subject, and pre-
sents its strong points in a fluent and for
chile way. Secretary Keeney of the BIZ
metallic League will entertain the Con-
gresham during his stay here, and it is
quite probable the Iroauois Club will ten
der him reception on his arrival.

PRESBYTERIAN Union.

Rev. Campbell Coyle's paper on "Divine
Healing" awakened much discussion both
favorable and adverse among the mem.
bers of the Presbyterian Ministerial Union.
Mr.. Coyle's position is that greater de-
gree of faith on the part of ministry and
iaity would insure physical as well as
spiritual healing.
DR.. Fraser spoke Of the partial view OF
truth held by many faith-healers, and
said many of them were exceedingly in
tolerant.
Dr. Minton reviewed arguments for and
against the doctrine, and said it was
clothed III difficulty in his mind.
Rev. Mr.. Jones thought the question of
physical healing merely incidental and of
secondary importance TO dealing with
moral disease. Yet he had observed that
every great revival of faith was attended
with power in the direction of physical
healing.
DR.. c. o. Brown took position opposite
to that of Mr.. Coyle.
DR.. Hemphill spoke in half iocose way
of the instances in which the faith cure
had failed.
Mr.. Coyle objected to ridiculs of the SUBJ
ject, which he considered sacred. He
realized that there was room for fanaticism
in the preaching and practice of faith
healing, yet he could testify to what had
been done for his body. He believed that
God permits illness as discipline Many
believed as did DR.. Fraser, who was
afflicted with an infirmity, that it was
Gods will that there should be suffering,
yet they 90 to physicians to get away from
Gods will. 1t had taken nearly 400 years
to establish the doctrine of justification by
faith. Divine healing would be established
also after controversy. The speakers finale
was spirited.
''There are frauds about the country l
know, but that is true of four out of five in
the churches. If spiritual photograph
could be made here to-day it would show
nine-tenths of those present with cancerous
and consumptive souls"
Rev. Mr.. Press of Alameda will give a
paper next Monday on "Reminiscences of
the Life of DR.. McCosh."

THE WINE WAS STOLEN.
Thieves Make Away With Two Crates
of California Exhibits.

]. A. Filcher, secretary of the California
State Board of Trade, writes from Atlanta,
Ca, that when the exposition opens the
California exhibit will no doubt be in place
and will make a good showing. 1t is To-
Gated in the Manufactures and Liberal
Arts building and it promises to be one of
the most attractive exhibits in the build
ing. He has been so fortunate as to secure
100 feet more room and with this he will
be able to put up all of the county stands.
The county banners will be placed by their
respective stands. Some of the. fruit
shipped from this City spoiled in transit
and Mr.. Filcher sent for lot of samples
of California wheat, barley, rye and oats to
put in the jars.
Somewhere between San Francisco and
Atlanta two crates, containing six boxes OF
wine, were stolen. As Mr.. Filcher wishes
to make a special exhibit of California
wines he has sent for several hundred
bottles with which to make wine
pyramid.

Richard Daley Causes Panic in a
Steam Car.
Richard Daley, who gives his occupation
as a grocer, appeared in Judge Lows court
yesterday to answer to the charge of as
sault to commit murder. He and young
woman were on the steam car at Baker
and Greenwich streets on Sunday evening,
when he took offense at the way David
Musanty was looking at her. He and
Musanty had some words, when Daley
pulled a revolver out of his pocket and
fired at Musanty. The shot went wild, but
it had the effect of creating aepanic among
the passengers in the car.
. Daley PASSED the revolver to the woman
and hurriedly made his exit from the car
He was shortly afterward arrested by Po-
liceman Bellingham and taken to the
North End station. BelliHgham found the
revolver in possession of the woman. The
case was continued.

THE MAN WHO TRIED DEBS
Paid Long Visit to the United States
Federal Judges.

Judge Grosscup, who came into promi-
hence during the Debs trial in Chicago, paid
a visit to the Federal Judges yesterday.
He first of all called upon United States
Circuit Judge McKenna, and then visited
District Judge Morrow. 1t was rumored
around the building that he might sit on
the bench with Judges Gilbert, Hawley
and Morrow in the Stanford case, but he
did not, owing to the fact that he was in
hurry to catch the Oregon train. His
Honor has brother who is practicing law
in Washington, and he is anxious to see
him.
Before his departure Judge Grosscup had
long chat with United States District
Attorney Foote about the trial of the

work.
Suddenly the car left the track and made
wild work for moment. For about sixty
feet the track was we'll demolished. and

Rev. H.D. Porter missionary of, tbs
American Board in Pang Chang, III the
province of Shantung, China, recently
journeyed to Tienkim, $50 miles north
northeast. He has written to the board
concerning the signs of war that he saw
He saws: Wherever we went we saw the
signs of war and it's preparations. The
forts at Taku bristled with guns, the
channel across the bar was lined with
torpedoes and marine mines, and the I'M
mepse trains of cars were to carry soldiers
TO new fields of destruction. On the
river, both in going and in coming, we
met an unceasing fotilla Of soldiers all
going they scarcely knew where. Our
friends at Tientsin were little anxious
for ms; and the foreigners who have
learned to live with quaint delight on
the daily rumors and possibilities were
surprised that they should think of re-
turning. There, of course, was no reason
why we should not return. We had an
exciting hour on the return trip. Aside
from that all was quiet and peaceful as
any of the many trips we have taken back
and forth. We were startled one morn :
ing at daylight by being boarded by a
boat load of Human soldiers. A great
fotilla of them were going northward.
Their boats were uupleasantly crowded
and they were watching all the boats
they could SO as to have little more
room for themselves They were persuad-
ed at last to let us alone. and, like
pirates IS they were, they made for the
next boat they saw, leaving us IN peace.
The children were much stirred up. we
reached home safely the next day. This
was the more interesting as being in
the midst of these troublous times for
the authorities in the north; troublous
TOO, for the edict has gone forth for the
enrolment of all the families, by tens,
to make ready for levy en- masse, in
case occasion should require it. My first
was to a village fifteen miles south OF
us. There was an interesting topic, but
not so full of interest to the people as
the word of the Gospel which we read
and studied together. I can see moth
ing in the aggression of Japan, but the
movement of vain glorious enthusiasts to
win a position in the eyes OF the world.
1t was a pitiful aim. There are many
who delight in war and all it's disaster
and error. 1t does not seem to NE tie
sirable, and deprecate the unrighteous-
ness which brought this on. The only
satisfaction to be found in it is that
Western nations were wholly exempt
from any part or lot in it. They may re-
joice in the discontinue of China, but
they will not be branded as the sharers
in the brutal attempt to force China into
even necessary reforms. No one conyer-
SAINT with any part of China can shut
his eyes to the ever increasing enmities
hich surround her system of COVER n
ment, powerful as it has been. They
are of the Same kind as are being fought
against in New York and other great
centres of good and evil.
