ME concludes, it is likely that every one
will wish to shake Mr.. Bryan's hand. So
there will be so much confusion we

The London r1ar!Sets

LONDON, Aug. 23-Money rates have
hardened under the exports of gold to
New York. A million dollars has al
ready left Paris and London. 1t is be-
lieved that the shipments of gold will be
moderate. Business at the stock ex-
change has been confined to narrow
limits. The depression in the American
section continues, but the tone of the
other markets is generally firmer with
a renewal of activity in African mining
shares. Foreign stocks are reported
better because of the improved politi-
cal aspect. France has been buying
Turkish and Spanish stocks and quota
tions in shares of this character are
higher. Gold exports caused rise in
Americans until it was known that
these exports were due to the fears of
the New York bankers and the arrange
ments which they had made for encour-
aging shipments of the yellow metal to
America. When this point was under

A SMALL CRISIS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The World

Cuba. August 16:
Couriers have just arrived with news
of a crisis in the provisional government
of the Republic Of Cuba. There has
been much friction for months between
several high officers. The climax came

spoke rather plainly to the president
Col. Mandalay acting secretary of war.
resented this and drew his revolver,
supposedly to avenge the insult to his
chief. The quartermaster also had sup
-porters and for the instant bloodshed
seemed inevitable. But the venerable
president aided by the cooler heads
present quickly restored semblance of
peace. The old gentleman's feelings,
however, were deeply wounded and he
Immediately announced his resignation.
All that night the provisional govern
ment was in great danger of ignomin-
ious dissolution, but the next morning
all complaints were heard. Differences
were adjusted and President Cisneros
withdrew his resignation. Trouble is
over for the present at least and the
wheels of the government are running
smoothly.

THE PYTHIAN ENCAMPMENT
Religious Services by the Deputy Grand
Chancellor
Large Congregation in Attendance-Prs.
sentation of the Leather Medal and
Mock Court

SANTA MONICA, Aug. 23.-(Special)
There was a large attendance at the re-
ligious services at the X of p. encamp-
ment this morning, and the sermon
preached by Deputy Grand Chancellor
Rev. 1. N. Merlinjones was more thor
oughly enjoyed by the congregation than
most Sunday sermons, both because of
its gentle teachings. and because of the
grandeur of natures cathedral in which
it was delivered.
Famed by the ocean breezes, sur
rounded by the tall and graceful euca-
lyptus pillars supporting the blue dome,
and for mural decorations, realistic
sketches of sea and mountain, the true
spirit of Christian religion inspired both
preacher and congregation.
After the morning services Grand
Chancellor McLashen departed for his
home in Truckee. He complimented the
officers upon the success of the encamp-
ment, and encouraged them to further
endeavor. All felt and expressed regret
at his early departure.
Today the Cooper leather medal was
presented with impressive ceremonies
to Sir Knight B. Gordon. 1t is the cham
pion medal for poorest drill during the
encampment. Mr.. Gordon is one of the
most active workers of the Los Angeles
division, and by his energetic assist
ance has helped greatly in the success
Of the encampment.
Among the arrivals today were Sir
Knights Esdor, Captain Bangham, Div.
1872; Frank Herr, Uniform Rank, Pasa-
dena Div. No. 80; II. r. Sutliffe and wife,
L. r., Div. 80, Pasadena; Lee Clark,
Lee Mcconnell, A. NJ. Black and wife,
Pasadena Div. 1872; Sir Knight Cooper
and wife and family, Los Angeles.
A great deal of amusement was af-
forded by a drumhead courtmartial, of
which Judge Stanton of Pasadena was
the scapegoat. The trial before Judge
Mendell was conducted with mock So
lemnity, and the arraignment of the
criminal by the prosecuting attorney,
Judge Rossiter of Pasadena, was a mas
terly effort. Col. Arndt was one of the
witnesses for the camp, and the defend
ant was ably represented by Sir Knight
Cooper. Mr.. B. Gordon was the sheriff.
The prisoner was found guilty of every
known crime and was sentenced to an
hours Imprisonment at dinner time in
the mess tent.

AN ILLINOIS SPLIT
Congressman Foreman Refuses to Support
Altgeld for GoYernor


CHICAGO, Aug. %. -Ex-Congress-
man W. S. Foreman has written Gov.
Altgeld a sensational open letter, in
which he makes various charges Of
recklessness in the handling of state
money and declares that he, as Demo-
crat, cannot support the governor for
re-election. Among other questions, Mr..
Foreman asks the governor:
"Why did you place the price Of nom-
ination of state treasurer al the Peoria
convention at $4,000, the money to be
used to help your reelection?
why did you borrow $4,000 to 10000
of Rufus Ramsay, state treasurer, now
deceased, without paying interest.
What became of your bills, if there
We're any, between the time of the Off
cial sealing of the state treasury vaults
after Ramsay's death and the opening
of the same when a successor was
named?"
Mr.. Foreman cites instances in which
Altgeld has borrowed hundreds of
thousands of dollars to run the state in
stitutions, paying as high as per cent
interest, and asks: "Out of what ap
preparation have you paid the thous-
ands of dollars of interest or, to be
more explicit under what appropriation
do you propose to cover up?"
The letter declared that the governor
had practically wrecked the Democratic
party in Illinois.

REDONDO
Petty Officers Make Clumsy Arrest General
News Items


News Items
REDONDO, Aug 23.-The better
class of citizens of this place are greatly
wrought up over what they believe to be
an outrage committed by three petty
officers last night. The three men, Nat
Melton. Rube Edwards and G. w. Rush.
ton, are deputy constables. Last night
these three deputies armed themselves
and accompanied by a number of SYM
pathizers and hackers went to a gam
ing place in town, ostensibly to serve
warrant on one Warren King, who was
conducting the game. Without any pre-
liminary proceedings, so 1t is alleged,
these officers of the law approached
King and presenting their cooked re-
volvers in his face, ordered him to sur
render. King offere no resistance and
was hand-cuffed ana led away to JUS
tice WitheriPs office. The entire gaming
outfit, including chips, card table and
all of the money in the game, was con-
fiscated on the spot. King was taken
before the justice of the peace, when he
put up a cash bail of $3.50 and was re-
leased. Several times he protested
against being kept in irons, but the three
brave officers thought it advisable to be
on the safe side, not deeming it sufficient
that each was heavily armed. In court
King again requested that the mana
cles be removed, but the officers refused
to release him until ordered to do so by
the court.
Mr. King is very indignant over the
affair and many prominent citizens
have characterized the arrest as an out
rage, with the further statement that
such officers of the peace are a menace
to the peace and freedom of respecta-
BILE citizens.
There was a good attendance at the
Spritualist campmeeting today. The

STATE POLITICS
The Fusion Scheme Is Satisfactory to All
Concerned


Concerned
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-The Ex-
aminer says:
The proposed fusion upon presidential
electors, apportioning five to the Demo-
Gratis and four to the Populists, the sill
yer party not claiming any, appears to
meet with the general approval of the
rank and file of all the interested par
ties. The Democratic state central
committee at its meeting yesterday rat
flied the agreement of the joint confer
ence committee, the silver party has
already sanctioned the proposition and
the Peoples party state executive COM
mittee will meet at o'clock tomorrow
to act upon the recommendation of its
committee. The executive committee OF
the Populists, which is fifteen in number
by provision of the state comDittee, is
short one member by reason of the res
ignation of j. d. Thompson of San Fran
cisco. A canvass of the committee re-
suits in the following estimate on ap-
proval of the agreement:
H. Castle of Merced and R. E. Rush
of Alameda are doubtful but will prob
ably vote for the agreement. Dore of
Fresno will present a minority report
against the proposition. Dore wants all
the nine electors for Watson, while the
Peoples party conference committee
favored making demand for nine Wat
son electors, 1t was the opinion that this
plan should not be insisted upon to the
point of rupture between the silver
forces.
The attitude of Dore is not regarded
favorably by his colleagues, as it is well
known that an overwhelming majority
of the Peoples party state executive
committee is in favor of the proposition
for fusion.
AS to the agreement on congressional
candidates, it is believed that the divis-
ion will be made numerically without
reference to the individuality Of the
candidates. The Fourth district may
be treated as neutral ground on account
of the advanced views of Congressman
Mcguire. If the First, Second and Sew
enth districts are awarded to the Popu-
lists, the Third, Fifth and Sixth will go
to the Democrats, but as a large proper
ton of Democrats are opposed to Kelly
in the Fifth and as the Democrats Of the
First district are particularly strong
the Democrats may be given the First,
Third and Sixth districts and the Popu.
lists the Second, Fifth and Seventh dis
tricts.
An endeavor will be made to arrange
the legislative ticket on a similar plan,
so that there will be but one union can
didate in each district

SMITHS SUCCESSOR
~'a 0=s Knows Who, but 1t is Certain What
tie VIII Be

Tie VIII
WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-The news
that Secretary Hoke Smith had resigned
and that his resignation had been ac-
cepted by the president, which was ex-
clusively announced by the Associated
Press yesterday afternoon, made con-
siderable stir in political circles here
today, although the probability of Mr..
Smiths retirement had been, in a meas
ure, anticipated ever since his paper,
the Atlanta Journal, declared that it
would support Bryan and Sewan. Mr..
Smith still declines TO discuss the sub
ject today, but it is known that the
personal relations between the presi
dent and Mr.. Smith have in no wise been
disturbed.
Mr.. Smiths resignation, his friends
say, grew out of his differences with his
chief on the question of party policy.
and his desire not to embarrass the
president at such a time. Beyond the
question of his conception of his partv
loyalty in acquiescing in the will of the
majority, Mr.. Smith during his cam
paign for the gold standard in Georgia
against exSpeaker Crisp had given a
personal pledge that he would, if de-
