The Stlver Champion Is Strongly for San
Francisco.
SANTA MONICA, CAL, Nov. 22.-To a
CALL representative to-day Senator J. P.
Jones of Nevada, who is spending a few
days at his magnificent seaside home here,
was especially enthusiastic over the pros
poets of securing the Republican conven-
tion for San Francisco. He said: at
would prove of great advantage TO the en-
tire coast in educating the brains of the
country of the resources and possible de-
velopment of the western coast. The con-
ventions are composed of the best men in
the various communities of the Nation end
it will be the means OF opening the eyes of
many who still believe we are in the pick
and shovel state of developments. Many
of them are and would be influential men,
bers of Congress and they would see for
themselves the needs of the coast as far as
harbors, coast defenses and other public
works are concerned. Every Californian,
in fact every citizen of the coast, should do
what he could toward the accomplishment
of what at this time looks like success.
1t would also have the good effect of
awakening our people more thoroughly in
the resources of the coast and shaking up
the few silurians. THE CALL should be
praised for the fight it has made in this re-
spect for the coast as in all Others"

ate follower of art or literature. There is
no special form of insanity which attacks
artists or writer's, but the celebrity which
the successful ones achieve fascinates
great many men who have talent but VINO
also have abnormally emotional tempera-
ments.
1.-The active brain work, the feverish I'M
patience with which they seek to gain
fame, and often the privations that they
endure-all these favor the development OF
the germs of madness which lie dormant
in mary brains and which would never
have made themselves manifest if these
persons had adopted calm and more
vegetative mode of existence. 1t is my
opinion that the life led by most artists
and writer's is of sort that is especially
favorable to the bringing out In full force
of any tendencies to insanity which may
exist in embryo in the brain. The slight
est thing may then ambulance the mind,
and it is that which too often happens"

A Suggestion to Pay the National Com

mittee's Debt Immediately.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. 81, 1895.
Charles ". Shortridge-DEAR SIR: AS one of
the many who are interested in bringing the
next Republican Convention to ian Francisco
desire to offer few suggestions: 1t is a we'll
known fact that the convention city must paw
over to the Republican Committee $40 900 to
meet the past obligations of such committee.
This being the case, would it not be advisable,
anc in fact winning stroke of policy, to for
ward that amount to the secretary of the Re-
publican Committee at once. II the local
managing committee should deem such step
advisable and finally forward the money as
here suggested one of two things would as
suredly follow First, it would place the Re-
publican National Committee under an obliga-
ton to this City, and, according to all reason.
able expectations contribute to greater ex-
tent than anything that has yet been done for
bringing the convention to San Francisco 1T
is not at all improbable that this plan would of
itself result in victory.) Second if the deci.
sion should be unfavorable and the convention
held elsewhere, nobody will doubt that the
money would be returned to our local commit
tee, because 1t was given with the express un-
Outstanding that the convention should be
held in San Francisco, and of course so under
stood by each and every member of the Ma
tional Committee.
1t is not difficult to perceive that there is
great deal to be gained. and certainty of no
lOsS, ny TIC duOptiOu Oh the plan suggested.
Another indispensable feature which should
receive immediate attention and be embraced
in the preliminary arrangements is that COM
mittee of five or any other number agreed upon
should be sent East at once to call upon every
doubtful or unpledged committeeman, at his
home wherever he could be found, before
the committee meeting at Washington
/ am fully convinced that very much can be
accomplished by the well-directed efforts of
thoroughly energetic and wide-awake commit
tee sent out as advance agents in the interest
of California, with full power and authority to
do all things necessary for success. This com
from the progressive representatives OF the
press in this City.
The advantage of sending out ar advance
committee without further delay is self-ex-
planatory to those who are but slightly familiar
with the duties to be performed.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

At a meeting of the board of trustees OF
the Second Unitarian Church, corner OF

He was formerly Methodist minister,
and about fourteen years ago pastor of
Grace Methodist Church on Twenty first

present location.
The question will be laid before the con-
gregation of the Second Unitarian Church
in few days, mere formal proceeding,
as the candidate is the unanimous choice
and the new pastor will be installed in his
office. He came to this City recently from

that in this committee are named some of

Republicans, among our citizens. 1t is
generally recognized that the effort to
secure the convention is not a partisan
matter, but will conduce to the benefit of
every man, woman and property-owner in
the State, irrespective of political party.

Result Of the Trial Trip of the Warshp An.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE official
report of the final trip of the United
States cruiser Olympia has reached the
navy department. and the officers who
constituted the board of inspectors have
each been furnished With an approved
copy signed by Secretary Herbert. The
result OF the trial is gratifying to the Sec
retary of the navy, who DOUBTED whether
the Olypmia could make twenty knots
steaming under natural draft. The crack
cruiser made within two -tenths of q knot
of this speed during the recent trial in
Santa Barbara channel for four hours.
With ordinary steam pressure the cruiser
made 1913 knots with ease. The displace-
nent was $40 tons greater than on the
trial trip for acceptance from the con-
tractors.
There are q few minor defects in the
auxiliary machinery and magazine COM
partments, none of which are faults of
the builders. The ammunition hoists,
while being in all respects according to
plans. in the opinion OF the naval ex-
perts, are not of the best device. The tor

FIRE ON THE NORMANDIE
Spontaneous Combustion Was the Cause

The Whole Crew Volunteered to Go to the
Seat Of the Fire In
the Hold

NEW YORK, July 14.--The French line
steamship Normandie. from Havre, which
arrived IN port today, had a fire on board
during the passage. 1t was at Z O'Clock
on the night of July 9th. The passengers
were at dinner and little was known until
the next day of the danger through which
they had passed.
Smoke was first seen issuing from the
starboard alley about midships. Search
was made for the source of the 6re. II
was found to be in com partment in the
lower hold, about midships, where were
stored cases of goods, hides and skins.
1t is supposed to have resulted from spon-
taneous combustion among the oily
hides. The fire apparatus was at once
brought into use and twelve lines of hose
poured hot water into the compartment.
Volunteers were asked for to go to the
seat of the fire and learn the exact condi-
tion of affairs. The whole crew volun-
teered to a man. Ten were selected. The
water had nearly reached the ceiling
when the ten volunteers reached there.
They reported the condition of affairs to
the captain, who ordered the water flow
stopped. During this time few of the
passengers knew what was going on. The
fire was out at noon on July 10th.

tween 40, 900 and So 900 persons visited the
scene of the ruin and devastation on
Cherry Hill today. Some of the untor-
tunates whose homes were wrecked sat
about wondering what was in store for
them. Hackensack and other towns have
responded promptly to the catl for aid
made by the people Of Cherry Hill. Com
mittees have been organized in several of
the towns. The most important is the
one here. Prompt measures were takon,
and between the amount subscribed and
that gathered in boxes at the ruins OF the
village there is now enough money to
keep the unfortunate in food for few
days.
Viewed in the light of day, without the
excitement that existed last night, the
devastation appears moro complete. Ev-
erywhere in the storm is ruin. The tan
gled heap of ruins by the railroad tracks
told where the depot went to pieces. A
pile of wreckage showed where house
had been thrown down, and one whore
barn had been raaed by the winds.

WASHINGTON, July IA. - Senator
Jones of Arkansas, who Joined Senators
Harris and Turpie in issuing call for a
conference OF silver Democrats in Wash
ington for the 18th of August, has written
a letter to a friend in Washington on
the origin of the call and the purposes
of the meeting. He says:
'At Memphis. after the adjournment
of the meeting there was mum ber of
Democrats from different states who held
q meeting at the Gayoso hotel and after
consideration the meeting requested
Senators Harris, Turpie and myself to
take steps to organize the silver Demo-
Gratis so they should be fairly represented
in the next national convention. We con-
cluded that the best way to do this was
to first organize national central COM
one or more members from each state and
to let those members look after the or
ganizatioh OF their own. states; to select
gentlemen for me m bership OF this COM
mittee by correspondence seemed slow,
and it was concluded to invite one or
more gentle men of character and expert
ence from each state to meet in Washing
ton and select, if they thought well OF it,
this central committee. This is all there
is of it as | understand"
The general impression seems to have
gone out that this conference was to be
mass meeting. Senator Jones statements
puts it in different light.
