HARVEY WINS.

The Horr and Harvey debate will be
closed to-day by what will perhaps be the
most earnest and most interesting discus
sion of the series. 1t is intended to be
summary of the whole controversy and
each disputant will of course put forth his
strongest efforts to maintain his cause in
the best light and overwhelm his opponent
with confusion.
There will be of course wide differences of
opinion in the public Judgment on the con-
troversy. The gold men will applaud
Horr's efforts, the silver men will applaud
Harvey's and the waverers will continue
to waver. Nevertheless, the gain of the
DEBATE will accrue to the silver side. 1t
has already added much to Harvey's pres
tige. He entered the controversy known
only as the writer of book on the silver
question which has tremendous run, but
is without any characteristic of permanent
value. Horr was known as man of more
than ordinary force, a statesman of consid-
cradle repute, one of the leading debaters
in Congress for several terms, and now the
financial writer for one of the leading pa
pers of the country. Many sincere silver
men doubted whether Harvey could stand
successfully dSdlH tuS pIsCtlCSu ueDdLeT
opposed to him. There are no longer any
such doubts entertained. To the surprise
of the general public the silver champion
has not only proven superior in knowledge
but equal in debate to his foe, and in the
contest of Saturday gained decided and
important victory.
When in the course of the Saturday dis
cussion Mr.. Horr said, "What Harvey
wants and what these people are after is
to destroy all property and to put this
Nation on socialist and anarchist basis"
he practically confessed defeat. The man
who has no other argument against BIZ
metallism than that might as well quit.
Up to this time therefore the honors of the
debate are with Harvey. His prestige has
grown during the discussion while that of
his opponent has distinctly fallen off, and
Horr will have to make strenuous efforts
in the way of honest argument if he hopes
to redeem himself in the closing contest
to-day.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

Professor Huxley was buried, as probably he
would have liked to be, in bed of bowlder
clay, fitting subject for a paleontologist. In
the earth about his coffin are relics of the pre-
historic era when all Scotland and England
as far as the Thames were covered with vast
sheet of ice.
Prince Khilkoff, Russian Minister of Ways
and Communications, is practical engineer
ofskill and experience. He worked as an ordi-
nary mechanic and as a locomotive engineer in
Canada and the United States, and subse-
quently spent several years with an engineer
ing firm in Liverpool
When S. r. Crockett was poor young col
lege student he became the private tutor of a
rich American youth and travelled with his
charge all over England and as far away as
Siberia and Nova Zembla. He made copious
notes of the trip and expects to use them in q
forthcoming book.
The administration of the late Mr.. Parnelps
estate will, it is said, yield about 10 shillings
in the pound. His home and small estate in
Ireland were mortgaged to an Irish banker be-
fore his death for 10,00O, and his quarries
he sold to his brother. There are certain secu-
rites in America which, it is hoped, will yield
more than at first expected.
Lady Mary Hamilton Douglas, the 11-year-
old daughter of the late Duke of Hamilton, will
be one of the richest heiresses of the age. Her
father could not leave her his titles, but left
her the bulk of his property, including the Isle
of Arran, which is larger than the Isle of
Wight. Her income is now $500, 900 year,
and will De 81, 100000 by the time she comes
of age.
The rooms in which the sessions of the Har-
ward summer school are held are lettered in
stead of numbered-a circumstance which led
to an interesting episode. One of the profes-
sors, besieged by swarm of ladies with ques-
tions, said to one of them: "Miss Blank, l will
see you in HIP The fair petitioner almost
tainted before she realized just what the re-
mark meant.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

While Robert A. Friedrich of this City was
in New York recently he saw many of the Off
GERS of the reorganized Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway, and every one of them spoke
OF an extension of the road.
Closer connection with San Francisco is the
next important step of the corporation. The
Santa Fe is said to be in excellent condition
now for progressive work. The creditors of
the company have expressed their confidence
in the ability of the present management to
place the system on prosperous footing again.
All the stock required to sustain the managers
has been deposited with the Union Trust Com
pany.
An early announcement that the Santa Fe
had ordered the construction of line con-
Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific with the Val
ley road would create no surprise in railway
circles
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-29

one, and designs, furthermore, to let that
one bidder purchase that valuable fran
chise for the trif1ing sum of $500. II Is,
therefore, not question between the Mar
ket-street Railway Company and Mr..
Joost. 1t is plain issue between the law
and official misconduct.
This is not the first time the Solid Eight
and their friends have tried to delude the
people into the belief that the opposition
to them is no more than a spiteful antag-
onism to the Market-street Railroad Com
pany or cunning attempt to help some
one else get franchise. Once or twice be-
fore statements just about as distorted as
that of the Wave have been tried. When
once tried, however, they have not been
repeated. Nor is it likely that this one
will be. The case is too clear. Under the
law the Solid Eight cannot give fran
chise to any one. The franchise must be
sold, says the law, to the highest bidder,
and consequently the only rivalry the
Market-street Railway Company has to
fear under the law is that some one will
raise their bid and thus cause the fran
chise to bring into the City treasury its
real market value.
The enforcement of the law would result
in no unfairness to the Markets street Rail-
way Company, but would be of consider
able benefit to the taxpayers. The Solid
Eight are well aware that the City needs
money. They are we'll aware that fran
chise was sold to Sutro for 5000. They
know, therefore, that such franchises are
valuable; that they bring money to the
City treasury. Then why do they not
obey the law and sell this franchise in
question to the highest bidder, instead OF
trying to sneak it away for $500?
This much of the truth and nothing but
the truth we have told to shame the Wave.
The whole truth of the transactions in
volved in this attempt to violate the law,
wrong the taxpayers and defraud the City
treasury is known only to those who ar
ranged the job. If that whole truth were
published it might not bring blush to
the Solid Eight, but we may be sure it
would put to shame every intelligent man
who has tried to defend them.
