THE LATE SILVER MOVE
May Result Very Seriously for
the Old Parties.

y
exists in political
circles here concerning the nj
terror purposes OF the silver
in the ensuing presidential
canvass, as matured at their
convention here. Hiiher to the
efforts of the ultra silver men
to accomplish anything definite
politically in their several con-
ventions at the national capital
have signally failed. All the y
could do was TO secure the
attendance of a small number
of leaders and under the auspi
ces Of Senator Stewart of
Nevada and Gen. A. j. Warner,
president of the American hi
metallic league, illuminate re-
solutions and protests, and
send them out through the
country broadcast. The last
convention however, was quite
an important meeting, MINER
ously attended and particularly
enthusiastic, in which republi-
cans, democrats and populists
fraternized on silver end ap-
parently pooled their issues
on that question, eliminating
all others.
The trouble hitherto with
leaders has been that they could
not fuse with the populists,
because OF their advocacy OF
various impracticable propo
sitions, such as were enunciatsd
in the Ocala platform. The
situation now has materially
changed. Since the peculiar
contentious Of the populists
have been laid aside temper
ariIy if not abandoned entirely,
and their leaders, especially
such men as Senator Marion
Butler OF Norter Of North
Carolina, are now willing to
join hands solely on the silver
issue. 1t is this fact which
disturbs the politicians. II this
movement can be so manipu
lated, republican supremacy

low suit, in the event a square

and a presidential ticket nomi

sarily impair, If not destroy

HIS SKULL CRUSHED IN.
A Mexican Lad Mysteriously Killed at
Manhattan Junction.

The body of Pablo Galsazo, a Mexican
youth of 16, lies in the morgue awaiting
the result of coroner's inquest this
morning to determine the cause of his
death, although at present from the
meager details obtainable it would ap-
pear that he died from a fractured skull
the injury being inflicted by the hoofs
of a frightened horse.
Young Galsazo lived with his parents
on a ranch near Manhattan junction,
the crossing of the Terminal and South
ern California tracks. Yesterday after
noon about 4:30 he was found lying upon
his face in the middle of the road along
side Chinese vegetable garden with
blood flowing from his mouth ears and
nostrils and his forehead crushed in as
though from terrible blow.
An italian, commonly called Jack,
found the unconscious form, the pulse
still feebly beating. He laid the body by
the roadside, propping up the head, and
hastenN to the nearest house for assist
ance. BY the time he got back with help
Pablo was a corpse. The lads parents
We're notified of the tragedy, but could
assign no reason for a possible attack
nor yet give anything which would sup
port the accident theory. No one seemed
to have known of the boys movements

could they suggest any way in which the
affair could have been the result of ac-
cident.
1t remained for Chinaman employed
on the vegetable ranch to furnish the
clew. He said that shortly before the
body was discovered he had been out in
the field working and had seen in the
road a riderless horse galloping madly
away with a boy running after it. One
person was all that he saw and he
watched the horse and boy until they
disappeared down the road. A few min
utes later Galsazo's body was found.
1t is probable that Pablo and the miss
ing lad were riding the horse together;
that the animal became frightened and
threw the boys off, kicking Galsazo in
the head and then running off pursued
by the other boy. The latter has not yet
been located, but may turn up this morn

THE RING.

w. w. Naughton, the sporting expert
of the Examiner, thus writes on the pu-
gilistic question of the hour:
AS to that foul blow. Has any one
noticed how frequently it has figured in
important glove contests held in this
city during the past year? Sharkey was
accused of striking Choynski just such
a punch; but according to Lynch, Shar-
key and others, Choynski subsequently
confessed that he had not been injured in
the manner claimed. Then Owen Zeigler
tried to make it appear that George
Green had inflicted groin blow on him
during their contest under the Olympic
clubs auspices. He threw off his dis
guise when Green pressed him, though,
and fought back like tiger. thing he
could not have done had Green fouled
him in the manner intimated. Now Shar-
key looms up as sufferer from the
punch in question, and this time it is
beginning to look as if the claim will
stick. FitZsimmOns, apart from the cha
grin he feels at being deprived of the
purse and having his record sullied by

transgression is tritling. He berated

clinch during the Mexico fight and he

NEW YORK, Dec. THE great in
ternatioal bicycle race commenced at
1905 this (Monday) morning in the am
phtheater of Madison Square garden.
The entries contain the names of men
famed throughout the world as bicycle
riders, and every effort will be made
during the week by some of these cham
pinos to lower records.
One OF the events will be an effort
by e. c. Bald, the champion of the United
States to lower the mile record against
time.
Among the foreign contingent entered
for the contest is the delegation brought
over by Ed Plimmer, and among them
may be mentioned such cracks as Tom
Linton, champion of Wales and champi-
on middle distance rider of the world;
C. C. Happle, a well known Engllsh
rider. and j. d. Lumsden, Scotchman,
who has wen many laurels; w. A. Elkes
and George Cartwright, the old-time
English champion distance pedestrian.
Among the other entries are Albert
Schoch, the American, who won the
long distance championship in this city
in 1893, when he rode 1900 miles; FRANK
Waller of Germany; Jules DUBOIS OF
France; Teddy Hale of Ireland; Peter
Golden, H. n. Maddox, e. ). flynn' II.
C. Moore, Albert Hosmer, George Van
Emburgh of America; A. A. Hansen of
Denmark; Fred Foster of Germany; Ed
Won Steeg of Germany; Burns and
Pierce of Canada.
The American cracks, when seen at
the garden tonight said they were in
condition to make the race OF their
lives, and they propose to make it lively
for any of the foreigners.
The garden presented handsome ap-
pearance last night. with it's deoora tions
of flags of many nations, among Whlch
Old Glory predominated. These decora-
tions were given, a pleasing erect by
the myrads of incandescent lights.
Quite a gOod-siZed crowd was in at
tendance when the doors opened, and
the attendance increased continuously
during the evening. At the time the
races commenced at least l50O0 people
must have been present. When the
score board was placed in position 1t
was seen that the names of Dubois, the
Frenchman, FLYNN of Rochester, and
A. C. Nickel of Norristown, Pa, were
missing, and it developed that the trio
had been scratched, Dubois having been
unable to get here in time and the
others having concluded not to start
The other twenty-eight were on hand,
and prepared to start four abreast at
the word go" to be given by Arthur
Zimmerman, the noted bicycle crack.
There were 5000 people in the garden at
1910. Champion Zimmerman was una
BILE to be present and Eddie Bald fired the
shot that sent the twenty-eight starters
| on their journey. Shoch led at the end
| of the first lap. He was closely followed
| by Redding and Linton the British
| champion. Schoch was loudly applaud
ed. He cut out a hot pace and there
were several falls soon after the start
| but none of the riders were injured.

BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT.
The League Is in the FigNlt to Stay-A
Misapprehension Explained.

Among the workers at the polls today
will be representatives of the Better
City Government league. who will en-
deavor to get out a full vote for that
organization. They may not be so nu-
merouS nor work so hard as the party
henchmen, but will nevertheless try to
elect as many of their candidates as
possible. Whether or not successful in
whole or in part it is not proposed to
let the organization die out after the
city election, as the charter election is
only few weeks distant and the
leaguers are as matter OF fact inter-
ested more deeply in securing the adop-
ton of the new charter than in electing
officers to serve under the old. They
will, therefore, Immediately buckle on
their armor for the charter campaign,
no matter what the result Of today's
polling may be.
The central committee Of the league
will meet at headquarters in the Byrne
block this evening for the transaction of
routine business and to receive the cleo
ton returns. Precinct committeeman
are requested to telephone as soon as
the count is completed. Call UP main

A misrepresentation seems to have
arisen as to the relations existing be-
tween the league for Better City Gov
ernemnt and the Parkhurst society. This
Is due to the manner in which the mass
meeting for men only at Simpson tab
ernacle was advertised. The announce

that Mr.. Giffin was presiding over the

league. The fact of the matter
Is that Giffin is not member

oxford Oarsmen Anxious to Meet an
American Crew

LONDON, Dec. 6.-As already cabled,
the feeling in Oxford athletic circles in
favof of an information varsity match
next year is very strong. In regard to
the admission of professionals into the
amateur ranks of the London Athletic
club, Oxford athletic men took a very
decided stand, practically threatening
that if it We're continued oxford univer-
sity amateurs would withdraw and have
nothing to do with the leading amateur
club, and would, so to speak, set up for
themselves. Similar feelings are re-
ported from Cambridge, where also the
idea of meeting team from Yale and
Harvard finds full favor.
COLUMBIA'S COACH
NEW YORK, Dec. 6-Walter B. Peet,
Columbia's famous rowing coach, will
probably have control of the Columbia
crew next spring. The graduating COM
mittee of the Columbia university ucion,
which was appointed some three weeks
ago, with powers to select a coach,
favors MI Peet. provided he is able to
give enough time to the coaching Il is
believed that this can be arranged. Mr..
Peet, in an interview with Manager j
L. Fearing, said today that in the event
of his coaching the crews he will length
en- the stroke somewhat. This is the only
change he will make. He does not regard
the defeat of Cornell and Yale by Egg
lish crews as conclusive proof of the
superiority of English rowing methods.

says: The steamer Whitney brought
Havana news this morning in relation
to Maceo and Weyler. Passengers state
that Weyler himself is now encamped
ten miles from Artemisa, and his army
is scattered along the trocha and through
the Pinar del Rio district. When Macoo
retreated from Weyler in his first cam
paign, his plan was to surprise Weylee
at the first opportunity, and now Maceo
has his army on either side of Weyler
and they are having daily skirmishes.
Weyler is completely surrounded, and
If he shall attempt to move he will be
compelled to go to Artemisa. Small
bands have crossed the trocha into Ha-
vana district and are attacking the OUT
posts ofthat proviDce.
Insurgents numbering 1000 are en-
camped in Havana province, twenty
miles from Havana, and will go to Ma
Geo S assistance when needed. Spies in
Havana are keeping the insurgents
posted as to the movements of Spanish
troops. A movement is on foot to cap
tyre Weyler if he shall attempt to go to
Havana by rail. Firemen and volunteers
in Havana are being sent to Weyier's re-
nel. heretofore these troops were used
in the defense of the city.
Since Tuesdays raid on Guanabacoa
the city has been attacked almost every
night. ard Thursday night $50 Cuban
cavalry rode for two hours throughout
the city. The damage done amounts to
thirty y-seven houses burned and large
quantity of supplies aSld ammunition
seized. also a narge number of mules
loaded and ready to leave the city were
taken.
Sharp firing has been heard again to-
day in Havana from the neighborhood
of Guanabacoa and other suburbs Of
that section, and all Havana is excited
over the occurrence. over 500 refugees
have passed into the city during the past
five days from that section, fearing their
lives during the fights between the sol-
dieds and the insurgents.
Nearly all the Havana volunteers have
gone to the front. but as fast as they
route the guerillas in one place they en-
counter them in another, making a suc-
ceeSon of running fights all within ten
miles of the city. About 100 soldiers have
been killed or wounded so far in these
engagements.

vidual capacity. Mr.. Giffin is not even
a supporter of the league ticket. as he
is president of the Fourth Ward Repub-
lcan club, and as such urges all Repub-
licans to vote the straight party ticket.
He is especially active in opposition to
the Better City Government candidate
for councilman in the Fourth ward, Hon.
Herman Silver, and is working hard for
Mr.. Riley, the obscure Republican NOM
inee. 1t would, therefore. have been
more consistent if Mr. Giffin had been
introduced as a representative of the
Republican party when taking the gavel
as chairman of the Parkhurst meeting.
1t is true that the Parkhurst society
invited the Better City Government
league to send a speaker to the mems
meeting. Mr.. Newberry was delegated
to the task, and improved the opportu-
nifty to advertise the Better City Gov
ernment campaign meeting at the Los
Angeles theater Saturday evening. He
made no remarks touching the topics
discussed during the evening. DR.. Nc
Lean very justly took pains to eXpla a
that the Better City Government league
was in no wise responsible for the do
ings of the Parkhurst society or its MEM
bers. but he impression nevertheless
exists in some quarters that the league
is affiliated in some manner with
the Parkhurst society. There is
no bond between them, in fact, ex-
cept that reform in the system of mu-
nicipai government which is the leagues
main object. will necessarily elevate the
tone of public morals.

RAISER ALL,

The ball game at Athletic park yester-
day attracted a good crowd and was full
of brilliant plays, as well as some of the
most miserable errors Shaw, the regu-
lar pitcher of the Trilbys, was sick and
unable to play; his place was filled by
Mason. who did fairly we'll; he would
have made much better showing had
his support been good Anthony took
Perkins place and did excellent work.
With the exception of Gardner in right
field, the Trilbys fielded well, but at
the bat they were lamentably weak.
Knell was an enigma to them. The en-
tire Los Angeles club hit hard, Lohman
and Wilson having three hits each, and
Whaling, Moore, Kaymen and Tyler two
each. The runs were made by the Los
Angeles boys in the first, second, third,
sixth and ninth innings. Three hits and
base on balls gave them three in the
first; and error and Tyler's double gave
them one in the second; Lohman was
hit by pitched ball in the opening of
the third, and an error and four hits
netted four more; in the sixth a base
on balls and four hits in succession sent
four more across the plate, and Guercio
scored in the ninth on a couple of errors.
The Trilbys only scored in the first
inning. Whaling let Mason's single get
away from him, and he took third on the
hit. Tyler did the same with Nettle's
hit; after Alexander had scored Mason,
Lohman's error allowed Nettle to score,
and those three runs were all they were
able to get. Consequently the score was
at the finish 1S to 8 in favor of Los An
geles..
The brilliant features of the game were
couple of double plays made by An
derson and Carroll and by Majors and
Nettles. In the eight inning with one
man out and Wilson on first Ed Moore
hit hot liner to right field; Majors
ran for 1t and in reaching for it he fell
down, rolled completely over and after
regaining his feet got the ball to Net
ties before Wilson, who had started for
second, could return. He was loudly
applauded for the catch. The score fol-
lows:
