BRYAN's attack upon the clergy
in his Wilmington speech should
lcost him the votes, not only Of every
minister of the gospel of all denom-
nations, who had intended voting
for him, but it should also cause
every church member who had in
intended voting for him, to change
their minds and cast their ballot
against him. No public speaker at
any time, under any circumstances,
has ever spoken of the ministers of
Christ as did Bryan at Wilmington.
Bob Ingersoll, in his TRADE against
the Christian religion, has never
dared to use the language and make
the sweeping charges that Bryan
did in his speech on Monday night
at Wilmington. Bryan is already
defeated; but the voters of the
country who honor and respect and
esteem the ministers of the gospel
of all denominations, should vote to
make his defeat the more pronounced.
All anarchists hate anything that
pertains to Christianity, and Bryan,
in his TRADE against ministers only
shows how his sympathies are in
a strikingly new light, Every men,
member of Christian church in the
United States should resent this in.

politics and religion, and in urging
church members to vote against
Bryan and Organism, we are not
mixing the two, but are simply ask

Lines to Be Converted
Shortly.
The Work of Improvement to
Be Commenced After the
Holiday Season.
WAITING FOR BOND SALES.
Powell, Sacramento, Jackson, Mont

Lines to Be Changed.

Shortly after the holidays the work of
converting the cable streeIcar lines now
operating on Post, Leavenworth, Howard,
Sacramento, Clay, Jackson and Powell
streets and the horsecar line on Mont
gomery street into electric lines will be
commenced. This news is announced on
the authority Of Colonel Charles f.
Croker, president of the Market-street
Railway Company, which controls ali of
the lines mentioned.
Colonel Crocker was interviewed yester-
day regarding the plan of construction
and improvement of the Southern Pacific
Company and the Market street Railw ay
Company. 1t was known that some months
previous to the election he had gone East
and to Europe TO arrange for the DISPOSE
ton of bonds in order TO secure funds for
carrying out certain new construction
work and extensive Improvements, and
that owing 10 the silver agitation that was
then at its height in this country he was
unable to place any bonds on conditions
satisfactory to the interests he represents.
1--WE shall continue our present conserv-
alive policy" said Colonel Croker, $50
far as the Southern Pacific is concerned.
| We shall not undertake any new constrCc-
| ton work for while-not at least until
| the bond market is in condition TO dispose
| of bonds on satisfactory terms. have no
| doubt that the result of the election will
bring this about now very soon. In the
meantime we shall only endeayor to han
die in first-class shape such business as
now comes to us.
$50 lar as new streetcar lines are con-
cerned, /" he continued, "there is no sec
ton of San Francisco to-day that is not
| well supplied with transportation facili.
ties. but we may improve some of the ex-
listing lines by converting them into cleo
| trio roads. Among those that will be
changed into electric power roads are the
Montgomery, Post, Leavenworth, How
ard, Sacramento. Clay, Jackson and Pow
ell street lines. And it is the intention of
the company to change the cable power
house on Washington and Mason streets
to an electric power station. But none of
this work will be commenced until after
the holidays.
ave shall never make the main lines
| of the Market-street system into trolley
roads. If any change be made on them
| they will be run by the very latest and
best methods, such as compressed air, as
has already been announced in THE CALL.
Another piece of improvement work
shortly to be taken up will be the replac-
ing of the rails on the Market line from
Jones to Valencia street"

LEROY 6. HARVEY
MAY YET co FREE,
Mrs. Smith Seems to Have
Abandoned the Pros
eCutiOn.
She and Her Daughter Not
Present to Testify at
the Trial.

Leroy G. Harvey, the handsome and
aristocratic financier who IS accused of rob-
bling Mrs. Emily Smith of about $50 600,
had chance to escape through the meshes
of the law for lack of prosecution, as it is
believed that Mrs. Smith and her daugh-
ter, Maude A. Smith, have Intentionally
absented themselves from the State, in
order to keep from testifying in the case
against Harvey.
When the charge OF grand larceny came
on regularly for trial in Judge Bahrs' de-
partment of the Superior Court yesterday
morning, the prosecution was surprised
to learn that none of the witnesses for the
State were present. In view OF this state
of affairs, Assistant District Attorney
Peixotto asked tor continuance until fur
ther information could be obtained as to
the probable disposition of the case.
Judge Bahrs wanted to know why the
witnesses for the State were not present
in court, as they ought to have been in
accordance with the understanding that
the case was to go to trial.
Mr.. Peixotto explained that the District
Attorneys Office, which he represented,
had not been able to find the witnesses. He
understood that Mrs. Smith and her
daughter are in New York or some other
Eastern city.
On this showing the court granted q
continuance in order that the District At
torney's Office may make another effort TO
secure the attendance of these witnesses,
whose presence is essential to q success
full prosecution.
AT the time that Harvey's pilferings be-
came known he was indicted on two
charges, one OF forgery and one of grand
larceny. The charge OF forgery was tried
first, and a conviction could not be Sc
cured for the reason that Mrs. Smith said
she had either signed or authorized
Harvey to sign all the documents IN dis.

time next week. While the present needs
of the association do not require the room

first campaign, headquarters will con-
stantly be kept open. The move is only

The work to be prosecuted in the imme-
date future is the extension OF club or
ganization. The activity which has char
acterized the movement up to date VIII
not be abated. On the contrary, the ladles
say that the first failure to carry the
movement through to success is not con-
sidered to be defeat, for the large vote
polled was an evidence that the IDEA mas
taken strong root.
The work now tends particularly to-
ward getting some measure fairly unoer
way to be adopted by the Legislature II
that can be accomplished, the purpose OF
the mem bers of the association being TO
have the issue again presented TO the peo-
pie as a constitutional amendment Win
as little delay as possible.
Very likely Miss Mary G. Hay Will be
back in California early next year, curing
the session of the Legislature. This is
supposed to be probability. she has

MINERS To SIT
IN CONVENTION
Arrival of the Horny

and Canyons.

Industry.
a FEDERAL MINING BUREAU.
Request That the Miners Should Be
Represented by a Secretary
in the Cabinet.
A FEDERAL MINING BUREAU.

Miners arrived in this City on every
train yesterday TO attend the miners con-
vention which Will open in Odd Fellows
Hall at o'clock this afternoon. The ses-
sion bids fair to be one of the most inter-
esting in the history of the association, for
the reason that some important legisla-
ton will be recommended for the benefit
of that industry.
Jacob II. Neff Of Colfax, Placer County,
is one of the early arrivals. He has been
chairman of the convention for the past
four years, and he says he has had enough
honor and would be obliged if the conven-
ton would allow him to retire on his we'll
earned laurels.
Mr.. Neff said yesterday that the asso-
citation wanted to get the coal and iron
mine owners TO cooperate with the gold
and silver miners for the purpose OF having
the industry represented at Washington
by a Secretary aid Bureau of Mining,
just as the industry of agriculture is repre-
scented. Mr.. Neff could see no valid reason
why the same consideration which is ex-
tended to the farmers should not be eX-
tended to the miners.
The miners desire also to be represented
on the Board of Regents of the State Uni
versity. There are now in the university
a department on mining and professor
of that industry, and 1t should be repre-
scented on the board by practical mining
man as regent. The convention will take
action with respect to some needed amend
ments to the mining laws relating to the
manner of obtaining patents to mineral
lands. Miners believe that the industry
is very much hampered by the difficulty
OF establishing title, it often, under the
present law, becoming necessary for the
miner to institute and maintain a lawsuit
AT great expense n order to obtain title to
the land on which his claim may be
located.
Mr.. Neff added that the hydraulic min
ers are very well satisfied with the opera
ton of the Caminetti mining act. The
course taken by the Debris Commission is
satisfactory TO the miners, and no COM
plainI has been heard from the farmers.
There are some features of the law, how
ever, that work a hardship on the miner
and which the association will try to dc
away with without encroaching on the
rights OF the farmer.
In spite OF Mr.. Neff's determination not
to be a candidate for chairman again
prominent mem bers of the convention are
insisting that he should stand for re-eec.
ton. Among available candidates men
toned are E. c. Lotus of Calaveras
Charles Z. Hoffman of Placer aad Harold
T. Power of Placer.

and visitors to the convention were
