Politics in this end of the State is warm
ing up in fine style. Meetings are of
nightly occurrence in all parts of the city
and county. The banner of Mckinley and
Hobart is to the front in every sectien.
The meetings. are largely attended and
tremendous enthusiasm prevails all along
the line.
From now until the election the Repub-
licans and sound-money Democrats will
make red-hot campaign in Southern
California. The various organizations and
committees are all in full working order.
Chairman Charles L. Strange of the Fed
Grafton of Republican Clubs hes arranged
schedule for three corps of speakers to
be constantly in the field in this county,
outside of the city, up to the evening be-
fore election. President a. w. Kinney of

Los ANGELES. CAL, Sept. 21.-Sena-
tor w hlte and John w. Mitchell returned
from San Francisco this morning on the
same train. Silver John" is popularity
supposed to carry inside State secrets in
his innermost pocket, and in consequence
he was much in demand to-day by the
small-fry politicians, ward-heelers and
legislative candidates.
1t has been whispered about the streets
for some days that Governor Budd is get
ting ready to turn loose the dogs of war
upon the White-Cator con. bine to control
two sessions of the California Legislature
in the interest of the parties to the deal
Mitchell is known to be a warm friend of
Governor Budd's, hence to-day's jam to
see the "Cahuenga statesman" To a
CALL correspondent Mitchell said:
You may quote me as saying that Per-
klns will not be reelected in a thousand
years. As to Budd's fight against the
Gator White fusion scheme, know moth
ing; but there is no question about an
amicable understanding between the two
gentlemen, and l understand that the
Glcker will lose many a vote to Mr..
Bryan-but this is only hearsay.
Zone thing you fellows have not OBJ
served, and that is, as l figure it, there is
pretty good chance for deadlock in next
winters Legislature. wherein White will
lose nothing; and in the event of Bryan's S
election he can practically control the CAL
ifornla appointments. Moreover, dead
lock suggests the possibilities of a dark
horse, you know, and you may guess at
the rest; but Perkins will not be reelected
never"
Many of the old line Democrats here
do not hesitate to say that the Gator
White alliance will lose Bryan thousands
OF votes in Southern California, which Is
affording Republicans considerable com.
fort.
The Democratic candidates of the
fusion combine do not say they will vote
for Gator in the event of their election,
but on that point manage to cautiously
give it out that they will support silver
man.

Cross WoRK At STANFORD.
Pnfo Alto Football Candidates Already
Show the Effect of His
Advice.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. CAL, Sept.
21.-Coach Cross had the men out this
evening, and from the vim and spirit
which the players put into their work IT is
pretty certain that his arrival has already
had its effect. The men go at the game
with more dash and, while their playing
is full OF fumbles and is very ragged at
present, Cross says that before the game
on the 10th of October with the same
amount of energy, he will have winning
team in the field Just now he is drilling
the men on quick starting and accuracy in
falling on the ball. For, as he says, There
is lots of chance to save and to make
ground if all the players are speedy at
falling on fun bled ball"
The linemen, too, are receiving great
deal of attention, and it is evidently Cross
idea to make the Stanford line SO strong
that Berkeley will be unable 20 move it
down the field in the second half of the
game as she has done in some former
games.
Professor Angel, who takes great inter-
est in the students athletics here and has
identified himself with their interests here
as much as any other member of the fac
ulty, is convinced that Stanford'a a chief
weakness in the past has been the over
training OF the men. To this he attributes
the fact that Stanford always shows up
best in the first half of the game and
Berkeley in the second half Cross is also
of this opinion from what Walter Camp
has told him and the descriptions he has
read of the contests. This he intends to
avoid by giving the men less work than
heretofore, but devoting more time to sig
nal work and developing the endurance of
the men by running and other like exer-
eises.
Of the backs, Cross is well satisfied with
the material with which he has to work
and expects to develop some first-class
players from among the number of aspir.
ants for Varsity honors.

AN AWKWARO MISTAKE.
A Washington Official Is Twice Arrested
in Switzerland as a Criminal
From Monfeyideo

BERNE, SWITZERLAND, Sept. 21-An
awkward mistake on the part of the Swiss
detectives has caused great annoyance to
George F. Curtiss of Washington, an as
sistant librarian of the American Con-
gress.
When Mr.. Curtis arrived at Grindelwald
ne was pounced upon by detectives, who
mistook him for criminal from Monte
video, tor whom they were searching.
Mr.. Curtfss was locked up despite his
energetic protests, but later the produc-
ton of his passport and other documents
convinced the police that they had made
an error.
He was therefore released and profuse
apologies were made to him for the unfor-
tunate mistake. Mr.. Curtiss then pro-
ceeded to Geneva, where the police made
the same mistake as to his identity and he
was again locked up.
1t was impossible for him to convince
the authorities of Geneva that he was not
criminal, and finally he was compelled
to telegraph to Hon. John L. Peak, the
American Minister at Berne, telling
him of his predicament' Mr.. Peck at
once laid the matter before the Govern
ment with the result that the release of
Mr.. Curtiss was Immediately ordered.

BOND AT LAKEPoRE.
BryGn's Financial arguments Anstoered
bH q Democrat.

LAKEPORT, CAL, Sept. 2O.-Hon.
Thomas B. Bond, who has just returned
from the National Democratic Conyen-
tion, and who is one of the California
Palmer and Buckner electors, addressed
large audience on financial issues here
Saturday night. He began by referring to
the Chicago platform and Mr.. Bryan's
public utterances, and told what they pro-
posed to do. There were three monetary
ratios-one of weight, one of Isize and one
Of value. Mr.. Bryan advocated the one of
weight. He would have the Government
coin the silver of the world and try to
make the people accept it at par when
there was only 81 cents in silver dollar.
The Government never did, could not
now and never could create value. Ali it
could do with free and unlimited coinage
would be to guarantee fineness and weight.
Under our present standard, he said, the
Government stood behind each silver dol
lar, or price OF paper money or subsidiary
coin, and guarantees to redeem it in gold
at the option of the holder and it was
this that made them circulate at par.
Silver has the same price all over the
world, he declared, and in order to raise
that price we would have to corner the
silver of the world. But Mr.. Bryan said
that the unlimited demand would bring
silver up from 66 cents an ounce to 81 20
al ouhSe' !, sAlS WAS true, why ulu Sll-
yer and gold both fuctuate prior to 1873,
when we had free coinage of both metals?
Fir-t we had all gold and then all silver
and if Congress could not wed them then
it could not now. 1t was the cost OF pro-
duction that created value, and Congress
could not regulate that. Prior to 1873
seven tons of silver were produced to one
OF gold; now twenty tons of silver to one
OF gold were produced. This was what
caused the difference in price.
And again: If thirteen of the leading
Governments of the world by demonetiz-
ing silver sent it to its present price, could
one Government alone restore it? Would
it not require an international agreement?
As result of this speech quite mum Der
of gold Democrats have come out for
Palmer and Buckner and still others for
Mckinley and Hobart. The sound money
movement is growing daily in Lake

for His Arrest.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 21-Bob
Fitzsimmons was arrested at Bartholdi

So far as known Corbett for whom the
detectives have warrant, has not yet
been arrested.
Fitzsimmons was arraigned in the Gen.
eral Sessions Court this morning before
Judge Fitzgerald. The courtroom was
crowded. FitzsImmons leaned on the
railing in front of the Judges desk and
looked straight at the Judge. He carried
silk hat In his hand and wore Prince
Albert coat. His manager, Martin Julian.
stood beside him, but he had no counsel.
The indictment was read and Fitzsimmons
was asked If he wished TO plead. After a
whispered conversation with Julian he
pleaded mot guilty." The Judge then
held him in $1,000 bail, and as no bonds
man was ready the Judge added: ''Com-
mitted until bail is furnished"
FitZsimmons turned pale as the idea of
a prison cell struck him, but he was not
taken to a cell. He was taken up to the
detectives Office in the General Sessions
building 10 await until some one could be
found to go bail for him. Fitzsimmons
finally secured bail and was released.
The District Attorney said there were
two counts to the indictments. He further
said tnat the case of Fitzsimmons and
Corbett, who had been Jointly indicted
was the first arrest made since the law
was amended. The indictments against
the two pugilists were found by the Grand
Jury a week ago to-day.

himself with a revolver. The bullet

PENSION BUREAU Report,
Over Forty Thousand Names Added to

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 21.-Com-
missioner of Pensions Dominick Ignatius
Murphy has submitted to the Secretary of
the Interior his annual report on the
operations of the Pension Bureau for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, which
shows that 40,374 new pensioners were
added and 1923 restored who had
been previously dropped, making a
total OF 44,247. The losses for
various reasons aggregate 44.093 The
whole number of pensioners on the rolls
June 30. 1896. was 970,67S. The Comm1s-
sloner states that it may now be
safely assumed that the roll from
the present time on will show a
steady diminution unless Congress should
enact still more liberal provisions. The
rate OF mortality of the pensioners, par
tlcuIarly those who served through the
