BOWERS ON THE OUTLOOK.
He Expresses Some Very Strong
Sentiments on Our For

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 20.-Congress-
man Bowers was interviewed tonight as
to his views on the leading issues in the
next National campaign. He wrote and
signed the following:
81 consider the leading issues of the next
National campaign to be: First-Whether
Americans shall conduct the public bust
shall continue to be conducted by Anglo
American cuckoos as 1t is now?
"Second-Whether the tariff laws of the
United States shall be enacted, as they are
now, in the interests of foreign people or in
the interests of the American people.
Standardization England shall continue
to have entire charge and direction of the
financial policy of this Nation through her
cuckoos and syndicate thieves and of the
treasury of the United States, as she now
has, or whether the American people of
to-day have the same kind of sand in their
Craw that the American colonists had 119
years ago, and will declare their independ-
ence and resolve to run their own Gov

SILVER is THE ISSUE,
Views of California Congress-
men on the Coming
Campaign.
LOUD TALKS ON TARIFF
Hilborn Thinks the Democratic
Party Will Split = Sutro Is
PeSSimiStiC.

Despite the fact that the Presidential
campaign is still more than year away,
1t is yet near enough to make valuable and
interesting the opinions of men in posi-
tons we'll qualified to give their words
weight and influence.
Herewith are given interviews with eight
such gentlemen as to what are likely to be
the most important questions that will in
fuence the next Presidential election.
All believe that the money question will
be one of the leading issues, more particu-
larly the reconciliation of silver. Two
lay considerable stress on the matter of
revenue, favoring return to the protec-
tive tariff for the securing of the necessary
funds to meet the expenses of government;
two believe the un-American foreign policy
of the present administration will tend
strongly to ALLEVIATE many voters from the
next Democratic standard bearer and one
believes that the existing domination of
corporations should come in for a good
share of attention.
Not the least significant of the utter
ances made is that OF Congressman Hill
born, that the split foreshadowed in the
Democratic ranks over the silver question
will result in two Democratic Presidential
candidates being placed in the field.

NEW ELECTRIC METHODS.
Gas Engines to Be Used in Generating
This Fluid.

In establishing an electric-light plant in
this City the San Francisco Gaslight Com
pany proposes to use gas engines in gener-
ating their electricity, a process, by the
way, entirely new on the Pacific Coast and
but little used anywhere in America As
a generator the gas engine was first intro
duced in England, and in the northern
counties is extensively used in nearly all
of the large cooperative stores. 1t is for
the purpose of gaining information on this
subject that Manager J. B. Crockett of the
San Francisco Gaslight Company is now in
Europe.
By the old steam-engine process extern
sive machinery was necessary which, in its
operation, required the employment of q
large force of men. This was not ALL The
waste on steam engines is enormous and
amounts to over so per cent. BY the best
engines in use it is not possible to utilize
more than 10 per cent of the steam. With
machinery being of the simplest construc-
ton, requires only two men where twenty
were found necessary under the old method
Mr.. G. Blagburn, an engineer, formerly
of London, now of this City, who has OBJ
served the revolution in the generation of
electricity which has taken place in the
north of England since the introduction of
gas engines, says the competition between
companies using steam and gas is simply
out of the question.
1.-THE relative cost of the two methods
admits of no comparison" said Mr.. Blag-
burn yesterday. "If one company adopts
gas generation the others would be obliged
to follow suit or leave the field"

SENATOR PERKINS.
Silver and Protection Viewed as
the Prominent Questions to
Be Settled.

''The silver question is the absorbing
question now in the Eastern States, and
incidentally here" said Senator George C.
Perkins. This financial issue and that of
protection to American industries and
labor are to be the commanding issues of
the coming campaign. We need revenue
and the Republican party believes that the
way to get revenue is to impose duties
upon the Injuries and manufactures that
come from other countries. The silver
question will form part of the protection
idea, for when we open the American
minis to the free coinage of silver we
should at the same time protect American
silver by imposing duty. on the base bull
lion that comes to our minis from foreign
lands. | believe this would be the wisest
policy. 1t would be a notice to the world
that we had adopted an American policy.

CONGRESSMAN SMITH.
Our Financial and Foreign Poll
CieS Need Remodel


Congressman G. w. Smith Of the Twenty
second Illinois Congressional District, who,
with his wife, is visiting California, was
seen at the Hotel st. Nicholas. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the financial issue
would be the most important of the CAM
paign.
at is a very difficult question" he said,
land one to which I have given a great
deal of study, but it is one which men
better qualified than l have failed to solve,
even to their own satisfaction. 1 believe
that in the next Congress the Republican
party cannot accomplish anything dis
tinctive in the way of legislation on such a
proposition, yet L doubt not that when
the members get together and discuss the
matter they will be able to arrive at some
conclusion that will form the basis Of
action in the next campaign. But this is
very serious question and concessions
will have to be made by Republicans enter
tanning extreme views on both sides of it,
81 think the party has always been able
to meet successfully any great emergency.
| The country has never been seriously dis
appointed under Republican administra-
ton, and | believe on this question, as on
others, the party will be able to come to
some agreement that will go long way
| toward the solution of the money question.
while | am in favor of both gold and
silver and have always defended that pol
icy, yet l stand to-day, as have always
stood, for the principle that each and every
| dollar of either metal must be worth as
much as that of the other in purchasing
and debt-paying power. / want no distinc-
ton between the two.
Cooking back upon the financial con-
ditions of year ago 1 am not sure that
the free coinage of silver, had it been
adopted then, would have accomplished
what we desired. / mean the free coinage
by the United States. without any action
on the part of the other powers. 1t might
have resulted in the withdrawal of gold
from circulation. and thus restricted the
circulating medium by leaving silver to
bear the burden. That would have largely
counteracted the industrial improvement
which free coinage would have brought.
~ am certain the rather unsatisfactory
course of the present administration upon
foreign affairs will be sharply criticized by
| the people in the coming campaign. They
will demand that the next administration
carry out more thoroughly American
policy. Thus the foreign policy viii be-
come an issue in the campaign. But the

it is not a question of ''Shall / live in great

have buried the drunkard the suicide, the

man cut down in his prime with disease;
known families wrecked by gambling and
speculation.
There is no place of perfect moral and physi-
cal safety. If there is only one devil-hearted
man in n little town he may ruin you.
Foreigners are in the habit OF describing
San Francisco very wicked city. L am
not going to say that it is particularly good:
Some forms OF sin may be more pronounced
here than in other cities. The fires OF he'll that
burn in wicked hearts may shoot out larger
flames, but they are not more consuming than
those that burst out in smaller towns. This Is
not the only city where the sacred floor OF
Gods house has been stained with human
blood; it is not the only city where poor girls
fling themselves into the bay to find the
silence of watery graves; 1t is not the only city
where peaceful citizens, as they walk home at
night, are suddenly deprived OF lie; II is not
the only city where weak children work and
cry for bread.

out the instructions or resign.
II have never heard any one success
open our minis to American silver, pro-
tecting the American product by duty on
foreign base bullion. Even Senator John
sherman, whose single standard ideas are
SO pronounced, had nothing more to offer
to this policy than that it would present a
temptation to smngglers. He dld not
make any objection really to the policy as
affecting the welfare of American in
terests.
Yes, | am satisfied the finance and
tariff questions will be the great features of
the coming campaign, for upon them and
especially upon the silver proposition de-
ponds the industrial advancement of this
country.
1--WE will produce this year from our sill
yer mines not more than 40 100000 ounces
OF silver, and we use about that quantity
IN the arts and sciences. Suppose we in
crease that to 60,000,00 ounces, which IS
about our capacity, retire all one and two
dollar bills first, and then the lives. I'M
pose duty on the silver imports from
foreign countries-do you not see that
there will be given to the industries OF
America great impetus? 1t would result
in opening the great silver mines Of the
West and would demand the building of
improved machinery, thus giving employ
ment to million people. 1t would bene-
fit not alone the miner, the artisan and the
mechanic, but the farmer as we'll.
The people are coming to see that the
solution of the money problem is the lift
ing of industrial depression, and that be-
ing true the money question will command
first attention in the Presidential cam

CONGRESSMAN LOUD.
He Considers the Question OF Rev.
enue the Most important
Issue.

1.-THE greatest question as it now appears
in the next campaign must be the consid-
Grafton of such a policy as will provide
sufficient revenue to run the United States
Government" said Congressman Eugene
F. Loud. THAT question cannot be over
Swallowed by any other, because, as l be-
lieve, the depleted condition of our treas
ury has been the cause more than any
thing else of the great financial depression
that has hung over the country.
Next to that will be the financial ques-
ton, which is agitating the people of the
whole country and which is demanding
some solution. What that solution will be
| am not prepared to state. But | have
faith in the Republican party, and firmly
believe that its wisdom and patriotism will
formulate such measures as will solve this
much vexed question.
GAS a Republican l should advise eau
ton, because the coming year NAV present
a different phase of the financial question
than is now presented. | should advise
the Republicans of California to keep with
in the ranks of the party and do the best
they can to secure the desired end by Re-
publican principles.
ut is difficult to look forward year and
see just what the conditions may then be.
The prosperity of the industrial world NAV
return and thus lessen the demand for the
solution OF the monetary problem. Then
again the conditions may be such that the
financial question may overshadow every
thing else and become the only great ques-
ton to solve.
1.-THE country has now generally ac-
cepted the protective policy Of the Repub-
lican party, but its readoption must be the
duty OF that party, for, as | said, the great
question is the providing of revenue for the
operation of the Government, and unless
the conditions change that must be tie
commanding issue of the campaign"

WHAT JOHNSON SAYS.
He Declares That Silver Is Going
to Be the Coming
Issue,

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 20.-"There
is no doubt in my mind" said Congress
man Grove L. Johnson this evening when
questioned upon the subject, ''that one of
the important and leading issues of the
coming campaign will be the silver ques-
ton. Still, the matter is one entirely of the
distant future, in fact so distant that it
is absolutely impossible for any one to at
tempt to foretell with accuracy what the
leading issue will be. To great extent
the silver question will be governed by the
action taken by the committee now in ses-
sion at Cleveland. OF course, this matter
is one OF vital interest to us Western men,
an we want to see it made winning one.
Another powerful issue, without doubt,
will be a revision of the tariff, with a
tendency toward protection. Still, as l
said before, it is entirely too early to at
tempt forecast, as there may be many
important issues arise which at present
are unknown and unthought OF.
g is fact that personally have as yet
scarcely given the matter thought, and
for the past day or two have had my at
tention so fully occupied by legal affairs
that have been literally unable to follow
the line OF action pursued by the conven-
ton now in session."

CUTTING FREIGHT RATES,
A Merry War Between Two
Rival Transportation
Companies.
Reduction In Lumber and Merchant
disc Rates Between This City
and Portland.

Competition between the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation Company, the Truckee
Lumber Company, and unattached vessels
of all kinds, fer freight between this City
and Portland, has at last broken into an
open rate war; in which sweeping cuts have
recently been made on the established
schedule. Between the ports mentioned,
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany held for long time monopoly of
the carrying trade. When the Truckee
Lumber Company established mills at
Astoria and Portland a line of vessels was
put on for the purpose of bringing the out
put to this City. For awhile this company
confined its transportation operations to
lumber alone, but finally got to taking
general merchandise from this City to
Portland. The vessels had to 60 there for
lumber, and it occurred to the manage
ment that they might as well go
up loaded as light. Here the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company en-
countered its first opposition. Then
other craft got into the trade until it was
pretty well divided. 1t was impossible to
make and hold uniform rate. The I'M
attached vessels would abide by no fixed
schedule, and the lumber people, being on
the line for a one-way cargo of their own,
could handle merchandise at lower rate
than regular transportation company.
This condition of affairs has existed for
year past, and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company has recently recog-
niZed the feasibility of decided stand.
Merchandise rates have been greatly re-
duced and in lumber the charges have
dropped from So so to 81 per 1000.
1--WE have made this cut" said General
Agent f. f. Conner yesterday, Gin order
to give the opposition some Of their own
medicine. We dc not object to legitimate
competition, but we do object to tramp
competition. 1t has been impossible to
maintain fixed rates. Nearly every vessel
outside of those operated by our company
had a rate of its own, and the result was
general decentralization.
j. l.. Merguire, manager Of the Truckee
Lumber Company, says that the Oregon
Railway and Navigation people want the
earth, and that they seem to think that no
other company has a right to engage in
the carrying trade between here and Port
land.
For several MONTHS" continued Mr..
Merguire, they have been trying to get
us off this line. We have to go to Portland
anyway, and why should we not take
cargo of merchandise at a rate agreed upon
between the shipper and ourselves? We
shall meet, in fact we have already met,
their cut, and | guess we can hold out as
long as our competitors. The Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company has
offered US many inducements to let the
Portland trade alone, and now it seems
that they have adopted bulldozing tactics
We can meet all of their reductions and
still make money"

religious purposes by the congregation.
There is a debt of $4,000 upon the edifce,
and the pastor is anxious to pay the inter-
est upon that sum and place the church in
a position to stand against the stigma
which has been put upon it.
Nearly all of those present last evening
were members of the congregation, who
were imbued with the purpose of assisting
their pastor in his object. Financially the
event was not as successful as had been
hoped for.
The lecture itself was rather disappoint-
ing despite the fact that the speaker tried
his best to make it effective from an ora
torical standpoint. A greater part of the
speech was given up to comments upon
the daily press, which, he claimed, had
misrepresented his actions and purposes
in reporting the details of the crimes, and
a scoring of Police Judge Conlan' S methods
during the preliminary examination of
Durrant when he (the speaker) was a wit
ness. AS one instance of the so-called
misrepresentation Rev. Mr.. Gibson called
the audiences attention particularly to
the fact that he did not have an effemini-
tive voice, nor did he wear pointed shoes
and frock coat.
There was rather sensational ending to
the evenings event. AS DR.. Gibson con-
cluded, Professor Tyndall. an alleged
hypnotist, jumped upon the stage and de-
fed the reverend gentleman to submit to
test OF hypnotic power. Captain Lees
and Detective Seymour, who were in the
front row of seats, prevented confusion in
the house by mounting the platform and
convincing the professor that there was
more efficiency in hysical force than hyp-
motto power.
1t was half-past o'clock when the lee.
turer walked on the stage, accompanied by
his private secretary, Mr.. Lynch. Through
out the evening they were the sole occu-
pants of the platform. The reverend
gentleman was attired in q neat-fttine
suit of black and spoke in calm and de.
hberate style for little over an hour.
He said:
Some OF you have been in Dore's picture
gallery in London. When you entered the
room you removed your hat from your head

was still. You noticed that the visitors spoke
