ELECTION OF STATE OFFICERS.
E. c. Tully of San Benito Presi-
dent, Mrs. E. Harmon Vice.
President.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 16.--At the exec
utive session of the State Farmers Alli-
ance to-day the first business was the re-
port OF State Secretary Barbee. The report
reviewed AT length the condition of the
Alliance in this State and was exceedingl ly
satisfactory to the delegates.
The State executive committee submitted
its report This report was largely supple
mental TO the other report, and both re-
ports were ordered fled.
The special committee to whom was
referred the Presidents annual message
reported in favor of having the message
printed in full in the minutes of the Al
lance. The report was adopted and the
Alliance press asked to print the message
in full. After much discussion q motion
to change the time of the annual meeting
OF the State Alliance from the third Tues
day in October to the third Tuesday in
November was defeated.
The committee on resolutions and by
laws recommended that no change be
made in the existing laws. The report
was adopted.
The following resolutions were adopted
unanimously:
ResOlred, That we condemn and repudiate the
recent secret deal of the administration in
selling bonds clandestinely to a foreign money
syndicate at a loss OF more than $4,000 900
as reasonable and unwarranted and needless
burden placed upon the future prosperity OF
this country.
Resolged, That we denounce in unqualified
terms that iniquitous political crime of the
age-the characterization of silver-and de-
mand the repeal by Congress OF all laws dis
eliminating against the unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 10 / without
asking permission OF any other country.
The committee on cooperation recon-
mended that the alliance indorse the Roch-
dale plan of cooperation as being the most
practical and beneficial to the farmer and
laborer. The Rochdale plan was indorsed
by the convention.
The convention then began preparing
ballots for the State officers. No nomina-
tions were made, each member casting his
ballot for his choice for the several offices.
On the first ballot J. V. Webster. the
dent; C. ". Thresher, E. C. Tully, J. s.
Dore and E. N. Wardall each received a
large number of votes for president. ]. V.
Webster, ex-president, J. L. Gilbert and
E. NJ. Wardall stated that it would be i'm
possible for them to perform the duties OF
the Office. On the fourth ballot E. C.
Tully of San Ben1to County was elected.
The vote was declared unanimous. Mrs.
f. Harmon OF Lake County was elected
vice-president; J. S. Barbee of Los Angeles,
reelected secretary and treasurer; VIII S.
Fawcett of Los Angeles secretary of insur-
ance; J. L. Gilbert of Fresno, elected lee
turer, and Miss Lydia Allen of Los Ange-
les assistant lecturer.

then elected: J. V. Webster, L. n. Laus-
borough, E. NJ. Wardall. ]. L. Gilbert of

TO ToRK THE DESERT QUEEN
4 Deaf ift San Bernardino Viii Rerire
Mining Interests.

II DeUt ih san BefhufuanO Uttt herlre
Mining Interests.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct. 16.-As
a result of an arrangement made to-day,
the Desert Queen mine will again be work
ing a full force within the next week. This
is the rich find near Indio which has been
completely cramped and tied up by litiga-
ton, four separate suits having been filed,
each contestant claiming one-fourth in
terest.
About a month ago the mine was sold
to Mcmillan Il Co. of Denver for $120, 900.
The first payment was to have been made
lay, but owing 10 the trouble over the
title no money was paid. In the mean
time the mine has been idle. The action
which will once more put the mine in ac-
tive operation is the filing of a quitclaim
deed by which S. +. Zombro, a local bank
cashier, becomes the owner OF a quarter
interest in the mine, transferred to him by
James McHaney.
1t is supposed that Zambro will furnish
means and look after the litigation with
other contestants, while McHaney will
work a full force of miners. AS the cases
cannot be brought into court until the
boundary line between San Bernardino
and Riverside counties is definitely settled
they will probably be able to work the
mine for several months unmolested.

ONE SILENT PURCHASER,
The BIDDER on the Property
Could Not Identity His
Principal.
THE CALIFORNIA AND EASTERN
Believed to Be In the Deal and
Backed by the Santa Fe
People.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct. 16.--
The Nevada Southern Railroad was sold
this morning at Sheriff's sale for $153.966
and receivers sale for S25, ,034 the sale be-
ing made by Sheriff Holcombe. The
property was bid in by II. c. Dillon for K.
B. Anderson, representing Woodbury. and
Denver capitalists. 1t is understood the
property will be decided to the California
and Eastern, a Denver corporation, and
the road pushed to completion.
All parties to the sale seem to be en-
tirely ignorant of who the real purchaser
of the road is. Both sales were bid in by
Judge Dillon of Los Angeles in the name
of X. B. Anderson, but when the Sheriff
made out the notice of sale and asked
Judge Dillon to name the residence of the
purchaser, no answer could be given.
No one seems to know who K. B. Ander-
son is. Judge Dillon, Judge Wright and
Receiver Seibert all pleaded ignorance of
his identity. 1t is claimed by those who
are presumably on the inside that Ander-
son is representative or member of the
recently organized California and Eastern
Railroad Company, which is backed by
Denver and Chicago capitalists.
Judge Dillon claimed ignorance on even
this point, simply saying that he was act
ing under instructions. 1t is believed by
those who have been observing the affairs
of the road that it is really a
purchase by the Santa Fe or At
lantic and Pacific, as the road
Is practically feeder of that line and with
field of extension would be completed to
Phoebe, in Southern Nevada, opening I'D
an extensive agricultural and mining dis
trict and eventually making another
through line TO the coast.

ASPHALT PAvEMENTs ON GRADEs.-The use
of asphalt on grades has been the subject
OF much discussion in cities where large
schemes for repaving the streets were under
consideration. A report to the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment of New
York questions the requirement. with as
phalt of streets the grade of which exceeds
an inclination OF ~ per cent on the ground
that grades over this amount so paved
were impossible for heavy trucks in winter
time. The consulting engineer of the
board and the Water Purveyor of the city
both take exception to this view. They
mention ten or more streets paved with
asphalt where the grade varies from 2.5 to
6 per cent, and one of these streets having
per cent grade was used in preference
to parallel streets of less grade but paved
with stone blocks. 1t was also stated that
traffic had deserted Ninety-third street,
which was paved with granite blocks and
had grade of 5.15 per cent, for the asphalt
pavement of Ninety fourth street, although
the grade there was per cent. It is in
teresting to know that on the grade on
Fifth avenue, between Thirty-fourth and
Thirty-sixth streets, which is 497 per cent,
Che granite has to be sanded for safety.

RAjF ALONG THE COAST.
Beneficial to Some Sections, but Injurious
TO the Growing Crops in
EfberS

| SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 16.-The storm
of Monday night and slight showers OF
yesterday have been Of great benefit to the
! wine-makers. The warm weather of the
past few weeks had developed too much
sugar and retarded fermentation TO such
an extent that great many tanks had to
be worked over.
The cool weather has looBned the
sugary substance and made fermentation
more free, and if it does not extend over
too long a period no harm Will result.
Slight damage may result to the table
grapes.
In the vicinity of Irvlngtoi, Alameda
County, fermentation has beer delayed a
little, and some trouble has ben expert
enced in working the wines. The quality
of the vintage promises TO be 9od, but the
crop will not be more than tTo-thirds of
last year. Around Los Gatps the warm
weather has FASTENED the ripening Of
grapes and trouble has been experienced
with fermentation. Growers report a
small crop but of excellent quality.
On the west side of the valley growers
are experiencing much trouble with fer.
mentation. Around Evergreen the crop is
about two weeks earlier than usual. 1t is
less than last year, but the vintage is
great deal richer in sugar.
The grapes still on the vines have been
damaged some, and unless picking is
rushed through more damage will result,
as cold spell viii cause the grapes to
mildew and warm weather will crack them
open.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Oct. 16-Rain
commenced to fall Monday evening,
with a few showers during the night.
There was heavy thunder and lightning.
Yesterday a heavy shower fell, and it
rained last night. The rain, if it con-
tinues, will do much damage to the un-
gathered crop of both table and wine
grapes. The damage thus far to the grape
crop is light. The mountains are full of
campers, who have experienced a wet
night and day.
GILR0Y, CAL, Oct. 16.-A heavy peal
of thunder, accompanied by flashes of
lightning and shower of rain, visited
Gilroy last night and this morning, with
prospects of continuing during the night.
No damage is as yet reported, but the
grape crop will suffer if more rain falls.
MONTEREY, CAL, Oct. 16.-A heavy
thunder and lightning storm has been
raging in this section since Monday night.
Yesterday and to-day much rain has fallen
in occasional showers. Stockmen are
happy, as the rain was greatly needed on
pasture lands. Nearly an inch of rain fell.

OAGGETT As AN EXAMPLE,
HIS COURSE TO BE USED AS AN
ARGUMENT FOR AN M
PORTANT REFORM.
CONGRESSMAN MAGUIRE REVIEWS
THE RECORD OF THE Ex-
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

When Congressman Mcguire was asked
what he had to say in answer to the re-
Gently published statements of Superin-
tendent of the Mint Daggett, he said he
wished the discussion of the Whole matter
was closed until the investigation of Mr..
Dnggett's course should be made, as an
nounced by Secretary Carlisle. Continu-
ing he said:
Mr.. Daggett's recent utterances have no gen.
eral relation to the charges against him. but
have been directed rather to a justification of
his course in excluding my friends from con-
sideration at the Mint. AS he has not to meet
any charge OF that kind. his attempt at iusti6-
cation was quite unnecessary. His suggestion
that my attack upon him is a mere fight for
patronage l have already disposed of by a posi-
tive denial, and that deem entirely sufficient
for the present.
The fact is that so far from making any fight
for patronage OF the Mint, it is my purpose to
use the Daggett case principally for the pur-
pose OF establishing the necessity of putting
mints of the United States under the civil ser.
vice law, the result OF which will be TO make
Mr.. Daggetts appointees in the Mint
secure in their places. 1t will set them
free from his political domination in
ward politics and will do away imme-
distely with the political N aehine which he is
seeking to build up at the Mint for the promo
ton of his individual purposes and for work
ing out his revenge against the Democrats who
1884. 0' - w p' y ~
What affirmative purpose he has to serve in
politics no one knows. He always served the
Southern Pacific when in power, and presume
that his political bossism will be used to serve
their purpose.
He denies that Senator Stanford requested
his appointment to the Superintendency OF the
Mint, but acknowledges that he was presented
TO President Cleveland as candidate by Sena-
tor Stanford, and that he had no friend in the
California Democratic delegation except Con-
gresham Geary.
The influences of which he speaks as having
secured his appointment was such moneyed in
huences as are always subject to the control Of
the railroad com bination in such matters.
Not only was he introduced to the President
by Mr. Stanford, but shortly after his appoint
ment, and on the morning of Senator STAN
fords death, he was in company with Steve
Gage, the political manager of the Southern
Pacific Company, and on the way To visit Sem
ator stanford-perhsps to express his gratitude
tor past favors and probably to discuss his fu-
ture official conduct.
Mr.. Daggett was entitled to the support of
Mr.. Stanford and his assistance in that matter,
because at time when they needed his assist
ance he gave II to them anc at personal sac
rifice, and when his service involved the viola
ton OF the platform pledges on which he was
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-17

elected to the Office of Lieutenant-Governor,
and consequently involved the surrender of
whatever political ambition he then had.
MI Daggett was elected Lieutenant-Governor
on the platform adopted by the San Jose conven-
tion IN 1882. That platform contained certain
speclhc pledges binding all nominees OF the
convention, II elected, to exercise their official
power to subordinate the railroad corporation
OF this state to the law; to bring about reduc-
.lon a OF ireights and fares; to compel the rail-
road companies to pay their taxes, and to re-
strain all such companies within the limits of
their lawful powers
Mr Daggett as Lieutenant-Governor was ex
olhcio president OF the Senate, and in that ca
pac1ty acted with the Republicans to prevent
the democratic majority in the Senate from
carrying out the platform pledges on which
they were elected.
In consequence of this he was, on June IL ,
1884, by the Democratic State Convention, de-
nounced and expelled from the Democratic
parry py tne following resolutions, EN- od1ed
III tne platform adopted by that convention:
ReSotued. That we are not unmindful of the con-
quot or certain Democratic officers and legislators
who co-operated with the Republicans at the late
eAtra session In frustrating the VIII or the people
and antagonizing the true interests of the State
that while no amount OF care can at all times pre-
vent tne intrusion into politics OF faithleSs men,
VINO enter with false pledge upon their lips
merely 10 ruin and betray, yet the party becomes
responsible Tor the conduct OF such recreant mem
pers only when, having discovered them 1t fails to
condemn their course; that it is the duty of party
its an9 % Se ana the o nc e1Ie ir0
and lost to all sense Of honor traitors and pledge
breakers therefore we do now denounce among
others Lieutenant Governor John Daggett, whose
casting vote thrown into the scale to turn
the balance against the people.
AT the time OF the adoption of that resolu-
tlon there were AL delegates present, repre-
senting every county in the State, and while a
strong defense was made on behalf of one of
the other men, no man in the convention
essayed to defend Mr.. Daggett.
The idea of his again assuming to exercise
control in the councils of the Democratic
party by the purely mechanical power which
the control of 200 Federal positions gives him
doubt that that is the purpose to which Mr..
Daggett is putting the Influence which his
position gives him.

FOUND IN A HOSPITAL
Sad End of a Two Years
Search for a Missing
Girl.
Is IN A DYING CONDITION.
Her Father Now on His Way From
Oregon to Reclaim His
Child.

A pitiful story has been brought to
light at the Receiving Hospital by the
discovery of the identity of one of the
patients who came to the institution about
week ago.
The patient was a young woman who
came from II Polk street. She gave the
name of Mrs. Marian Lewis, and said she
had been living in the City for two years.
She became a mother soon after entering
the hospital, and since then she has been
in most critical condition.
Yesterday it was learned that her real
name was Mollie Coe, and that she is the
daughter of rich lumber man who lives
near Dallas, Or.
Word was at once sent to him by the
hospital physician, and the answer came
at once to have everything possible done
for the girl and that he would start for
San Francisco at once.
The girl had left home two years ago, he
said in his dispatch, and her family had
not heard from her since then. She is in
a most critical condition.

HECATE STRAIT DISPUTE.
British CoIum6iaas Claim the americans
Are Infrtnging.


VICTORIA, B. c. Oct 16-The British
Columbians interested in halibut fishing
have begun to dispute the right of Amer
leans to fish in Hecate Strait, and have in
vited the au thorities at Ottawa to decide
whether the strait is "open water" or sin
land water"
The Canadians first realized the posi-
bilities of these fisheries and made an
Eastern market for them, when the Ameri-
cans, instead OF casting aboat for new
banks in waters open to them without pos
sibility of dispute, began also to fish in
Hecate Strait, the channel separating
Goschen Island of the Queen Charlotte
group from the mainland of British Colum-
bia.
Besides trespassing thus, Americans are
said to be disposing of cargoes of flour
and other merchandise to the Indians,
greatly to the detriment of the Hudson
Bay Company. The authorities here have
decided the thing must be stopped, and
are only waiting for Ottawa to decide that
Hecate Strait is finland water" before
ejecting the intruders.
