WE SURPRISED THEM.
Eastern Papers Are ThssnderstracIe at
San Frdncisco's Stren0th.

Eastern Papers Are ThunderstracI; at
san Francisco's Strength.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 30.-It is
understood that General Harrison's friends
will oppose Pittsburg as a convention
place because Senator Quay is so bitterly
opposed to the ex-President. 1t is not
known whether Harrisons friends will
support San Francisco or Chicago, but as
Senator Carter is one of Harrison's bench
men, it is fair TO assume that Harrison
would not oppose San Francisco, although
he is not as popular in California as either
Allison, Mckinley or Reed.
Chairman Carter says that in addition to
the committeeman representing forty-four
States, there will be one each from the Dis
trict of Columbia, Utah, Arizona, New
Mexico, Indian Territory and Oklahoma,
and if one is admitted from Alaska there
will be fifty-one in all here December 10.
But whether or not Alaska is admitted by
regular committeeman or proxy twenty
six votes will he necessary to a choice.
Friends of San Francisco are counting
on thirteen votes as sure, viz: California,
Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho.
Montana, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, North Dakota, Iowa and Maine.
And these are probable, viz: Alaska,
New Mexico, Missouri, Texas. Probable
total seventeen. There will be nine votes
lacking according to this calculation, and
they may have to be recruited from the
South. Senator Hansbrough may be able
to influence his neighbor from South
Dakota. Hansbrough said to CALL CORE
spondent last winter that he would work
earnestly with Colonel CIarkson of Iowa in
an endeavor to gain recruits from the
Northwest. The Eastern papers which
some weeks ago regarded San Francisco
candidacy as preposterous are exhibiting
surprise at the City's many friends and
apparent strength of seventeen votes to
begin with. "Californians are great
hustlers" is the unanimous verdict.

Senator Teller to Secede Unless Free
SiIrer Is Ind0Tsed.
DENVER, CoLo., Oct. Ex-senator Teller
returned from a brief visit in Washington
to-day and reiterated his pledges not to
support a gold candidate for President.
81 have not deviated from my silver
position at all. / cannot consistently sup
port a gold-standard candidate and l will
not. [ have never made a secret of the
fact that if the Democrats put up an
avowed silver candidate for President /
would vote for him, although 1 have never
cast q Democratic ballot since I was %
years old.'
When asked as to the business condi-
tons in the East Senator Teller said:
From my observations business was
not nearly so active as the newspapers at
tempt to make out. There is dissatisfac-
ton over the financial system, and this
dissatisfaction cannot be concealed. The
silver sentiment is not dying out. l think
we are even stronger than ever and that
our cause has advanced materially

SMUGGLERS IN A BATTLE
Hondurans and Salvadorans En-.
gage in a Bloody Fight on
the Frontier.
Over Two Score Killed Before the
Combatants Are Dispersed by
Regular Troops.

SAN SALVADOR, SALVADOR, Oct. 3d.
While small force of alleged troops, about
twenty in number, was camped near Ell
brio Sunday, not fearing any trouble and
therefore not exercising due vigilance, it
was surprised by force of about sixty
Honduran smugglers, who, pretending to
believe the soldiers to be smugglers, at
tackled them, ordering them from the
country. The soldiers tried to prove that
they were on lawful mission but the at
lacking party paid no attention to their
claims and commenced firing on them,
killing and wounding fourteen The
others escaped and made their way to
Elbriio and Elcoban, where they raised a
sufficient force and followed the Hondu-
rams, who in the meantime had fed across
the frontier
Near Elcotepeque they forced the snug
glers to stand and fight. The conflict was
most bloody, and though lasting but an
hour the result was that twenty-three
Hondurans and nineteen Salvadorans
were killed, and further blood was only
averted by the arrival of a large force Of
Hondurans, when both parties fled. The
troops made mum Der of arrests.
Among those arrested nobody could
show any authority, and this gave rise to
rumors that both bands were composed Of
smugglers. who are now SO common on
these frontiers and consist of desert.
ers from the different Cen tral American
armies. Both the Honduran and Saliva.
doran authorities near the frontier are
making thorough investigation, but it is
expected that as usual, under the circum-
stances, it will result in nothing.

VENEZUELA VIII FIGHT.
Troops Sent to La Guuyrc to Resist
Threatened Attack by British
Forces

CARACAS, VENEZUELA, Oct. 30.-Presi-
dent Crespo this afternoon told THE CALL
correspondent that under no consideration
would this Government accede to the late
demands of England.
'If England will not accept the arbitra-
ton of the United States then there must
be war;" said he.
Continuing, he said, England's demand
for indemnity for Barnes and Baker was
but for the purpose of throwing dust into
the eyes OF the world. He denied any
similarity in the present case with that of
Nicaragua, and assured the correspondent
that if it came to war Venezuela would not
be alone.
Troops are already being sent to La
Guayra to defend in case of an attack from
the English, where artillery is being placed
in position. Several American ex-officers
are coming as instructors for the army.

tee who will take the work OF collecting
the subscribed amounts in hand Aside
from the amount already subscribed by
local business and professional men, the
Union League has its $4,000 as side sum
to be used in entertaining the delegates in
the most approved California style.
Most every one interviewed on the ques-
ton of holding the convention In San
Francisco is ready with some encourage
ment. We have the whole State, the
whole coast and nearly the whole Union
with US on this particular proposition and
we ought to win.
George L. Peaslee, member of the
Oregon Press Association, who came down
TO attend the California Press Associations
meeting last Saturday, is very enthusiast
tic about getting the convention out here
for the good it will do Oregon.
We feel, he said yesterday, that Portland
and Los Angeles are equally interested with
San Francisco. We have five transcontinental
roads into Portland and that means a large
part of those coming out here would pass
through Oregon either coming or returning.
The good that It would do us to have these
people appreciate what sort of country we
have is incalculable.
think that Oregon should get in and work
right from the jump. We should get as much
benefit without any expense as San Francisco.
The people of this City have shown already
that they have no need OF financial aid, but
there is much that we can do with our infiu-
ence. The whole coast should get in and
work.
There is no jealousy OF California in Oregon.
The only kick we have is that our people Will
send good Oregon fruit East and call 1t Cali
fornian. The products of the two States are so
diverse that each needs the help of the other.
They not rivals in reality. Union in all
our efforts is what viii do most to build up
and maintain our trade with the Eastern
States and Europe and with the Orient.
Passenger Agent Hitchcock of the Union
Pacific Railroad has just returned from a
twenty days sojourn at Omaha on bust
ness. He states that his trip was made to
arrange for the spring business. In the
course OF his journey he found that the
people throughout Nebraska, Wyoming
and all States west of them were as one in
favor of the big political conventions being
held in San Francisco. So far as the
Union Pacific is concerned, he said, it will
be only too glad to make rates that will
help to bring the people out here. az

good for their coming"
Yesterday Visalia, one of CALIFORNIA;
small but thriving towns, raised the sum of
500 in few hours by circulating a small
subscription paper for amounts rang
ing from 80 cents to 81. The people of the
town that was the first in the State to
start the canvass for small amounts are to
be congratulated On the introduction of
the plan. 1t is one of the most effective
ways to accumulate money, and if every
town of the size of Visalia were to do the
same thing it would be surprising to see
the enormous amount of money that
could be secured in very short time.
No great movement can be successful
without the assistance of the people at
large, and We want their help.

cisco next year. The matter has been dis
cussed here for some time. and this morn
ing CALL representative and F. ]. Cooper

cents and 81, and by noon had $61 sub

Charles T. Lindsey then took the list

he has done. The subscription paper reads
as follows:
We, the undersigned citizens OF Visalia, real
izing the Importance to the State of California
OF San Francisco obtaining the National Repub-
lican Convention, TO be held IN 1896, hereby
agree to pay on demand the amounts set oppo-
site our respective names as Visalia's express
sion of interest in San Francisco obtaining
said convention.
The gentlemen circulating the .subscrip-
ton list tried to keep everybody down to
81, but one enthusiastic man put his name
down for S. Republicans and Democrats
alike are loud in their praise of the energy
displayed by Editor Shortridge in the East
laboring to bring the big convention to
this coast.

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 30-The daily
morning Republican to-day announced
that it would make donation of 800 to
the fund, and the Hundred Thousand Club
at a meeting tonight decided to give 500.
People of Fresno realize that the bringing

materially benefit the entire State. Said
j. w. Short, manager and editor OF the Re-
publican, In an interview with CALL CORE
spondent tonight:
The National Convention of any great polit-
lcai party is the most important gathering that
is held in this country, in as much as it brings
together the largest number of representa- tive
citizens, whose opinions will carry weight and
lnfinence regarding the State in which the
convention is held to every other State in the
Union Fresno and every other town in Cali
1ornla is interested alike with San Francisco in
securing the National Republican Convention.

FAIL Pay Denied the Lately Retired Conn
0iander of the -4fDiy.

FaU rag Dented the Ldfefy heftfed COM
ntander of the Arny.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 30.-Pay-
master General Stanton of the army has
decided that Lieutenant-GeneralS chofield,
retired, is not entitled to the full pay of
active rank, but to only three-quarters of
that amount, the regular rate of pay of all
retired officers.
The decision of the Paymaster will be a
matter of grave disappointment to General
Schoheld and to many of his friends, who
supposed that in the act OF Congress reviv-
ing the grade of Acknowledgement for
General Schofeld, the precedent estab-
lished by the retirement of General Sher-
man was followed in allowing him to draw
the full pay of an officer in the active SER
vice. The pay of a Acknowledgement in
active service is $1,000. The pay Of the
same grade on the retired list is $3.50.
The question reached the War Depart
ment on an inquiry from Deputy Paymas-
ter Candee at Chicago whether General
Schotield's pay was to be on the basis of a
retired officer or that OF an officer retired
by special act of Congress with full pay and
allowances of an officer in the active SER
vice.

rector of the Mint Preston to-day explained
to CALL correspondent why subsidiary

been mining money from bullion, but old

There is usually an appropriation of Con-
gress available to make up the difference
between silver contained in brand new
coins and the old, worn coins, which are
deficient in the amount of silver requisite
for these fractional pieces, and as this APP
preparation having been exhausted it was
deemed advisable to cease minting until
