Gen. John NJ. Palmer, its candidate
for President, and Gen. Simon Bolivar
Buckner, its candidate for Vice Presi
dent, were selected for vicarious sacri
fee because of locality.
Palmer in Illinois is supposed &c
have following that will vote for
him in spite of the well established
fact that Palmer is heart and soul
interested in the election OF William
Mckinley. Illinois is regarded by
the boilers themselves as reliably for
Bryan and free silver unless an unex-
pected accession to the gold standard
ranks can be made.
The second place on the ticket was
allotted to Kentucky and Gen. Buck
ner selected for very much the same
reasons which controlled the selection
of Palmer.
he Watterson-C Carlisle forces in
Kentucky-anti-Br anti-silver,
acknowledgements that
they could center upon Buckner and
probably induce a few Kentucky
Democrats who are for gold, but not
for Mckinley, to vote the Boilers
national ticket.
The new National Committee of the
Boilers is in session to day planning
its attack upon Democracy.
These boilers are vindictive to an
extreme. They are bitterly hostile to
anything savoring of regular
Democracy.
They are scheming now to work
out pa an which shall most hurt the
regular Democratic ticket in Illinois,
Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana
and Iowa.
All their attention will be given to
these States, though for the sake of
keeping up the deception pretense
of organizing will be made in other
States.
Indiana is put in the list of doubt
full States. That was taken into con-
sideratiou by the goldbugs when they
decided to hold the National Conven-
ton and name Mark Hanna's men in
Indianapolis.
Now. that the boilers have come
and gone and their ticket has been
named, it is noteworthy that the State
is regarded by well-posted Indiana
politicians as almost certain to give
Bryan and free silver handsome
majority.
IF the election were to be held
tomorrow" said Mayor Taggart, "the
State would go 40,000for Bryan. The
convention of Democratic boilers was
an object lesson which will do the
regular ticket much good"
Gov. Claude Mathews and the free
silver Democrats of Indiana are
that there will be a strong
and steady growth of free silver
sentiment and they are positive that
the boilers convention will not lose
votes to the party in Indiana.

A LICENSE WAS REFUSED
The National Club Will Not
Hold the her-Choynski
Fight.
Supervisors Declare in Favor of a
More Equal Division of
Licenses.

Unless the Health and Police Committee
of the Board of Supervisors changes its
mind speedily, the sporting fraternity of
San Francisco will be disappointed in re-
gard to the Maher-C hoynski fight, which
was billed to take place before the Ma
tional Athletic Club on August 5.
The club had petition for permit be-
fore the committee, and was so sure of re-
ceiving it that 1t did no. see fit 10 have a
representative present to urge its claims.
The committee, of which Messrs. King.
Benjamin, bunker and Morganstern were
present, were not in lenient mood. how
ever, and when the petition came up it was
refused without dissenting vote.
'There is such thing as riding q gift
horse to death, remarked Supervisor Ben
jamin in explanation of his vote. Now,
the National Club has had four or five
permits, and | believe that some of the
other clubs should have an opportunity.
When we granted the Occidental Club its
first permit 1t was with the understanding
that II should have two more, the same as
the National Club mad when it first
started off.
81 understand that the Credentials first
performance was not a success, so now
suppose they will need the other to get
even, and we will have to grant them, as
we promised. We refused the st. George
Club, highly respectable organization,
on the same score, and l don't see how we
could favor the National after we have
done this. We had to refuse some of these
petitions. We couldn't grant. them all; il
we did, there would be boxing matches
every night, and this, of course, would
not do.
"The Board of Supervisors do not intend
to refuse licenses for boxing entertain
ments altogether, and this committee will
recommend certain permits, but the di-
vision will have to be more equal among
the different clubs.''
1t Is expected some other club may take
up the Maher-Choynski match.

THE SOCIALISTS IDEA.
Oliver Everett Speaks Upon Labor
Unions aud Party Politics.

Oliver Everett Speaks Upon Labor
Unions aud Party Politics.
There was a large attendance at Thurs
day nights meeting of the Jewish Branch
of the Socialist Labor party at its head
quarters, $40 Folsom street. The address
of the evening was by Oliver Everett, who
was introduced by William Lewis, the
chairman of the meeting. After speaking
on the economic advantages offered TO the
wageworkers by trades associations in the
past, Mr.. Everett said that the distress
universal to-day throughout the country
has already resulted in variety of reme-
dies, including the Mckinley protection
plaster, the Democratic free trade and
tree silver coinage remedy, and the Popu-
lists are already promising to initiate
both old party tactics with its free coinage
plank in the vain hope of decoying the
labor vote or stampeding the rural vote
into its camp.
The Socialist Labor party has no need
to have recourse to any such political
gerrymandering or bunco-steering tactics
to gain following. 1t promises no illu-
sorry dreams of ease and wealth to those
who adopt its party platform. Broadly
aiming at the destruction of the wage sys-
tenn, and pledged 10 the collective owner
ship OF all the opportunities of life,
viz. the means of production and
distribution, it appeals with confidence to
all classes OF society, and with more par
ticular stress to the toiling millions bend
Ing beneath the weight of poverty and
oppression to unite under the banner of
socialism, promising in return for their
solidarity equitable enjoyment and par
tlcipation in all the bounties of Mother
Natures larder.

MARRIED A GAY DRUMMER
Mrs. Mary L. DIcQuiddy Is Now Seek
ing Separation.

Mrs. Mary L. BIcQuiddy Is Now Seek
ing Separation.
Mary E. .McQuiddy appeared in Judge
Slack's court yesterday in a suit for main
tenance. She has applied for divorce
from her husband, Redding McQuiddy,
and the case is pending in Judge Trout s
court. Redding McQuiddy is travelling
salesman employed by Reddington & Co.,
the wholesale druggists. He is in receipt
of a salary of $125 per month, and also re-
ceives a commission on goods sold.
Mrs. McQuiddy says her husband is a
bold, bad man, holder than and fully as
bad as the gayest young blood on the
road.
According to her own testimony. Mrs
McQuiddy is herself no angel. She con-
tesses to having taken treatment at the
Kelley Institute in Los Gatos, but con-
tends that she only did it to please her
husband, and not because she was accus-
stimulants. Nevertheless, she is qnite an
authority on the drink question. In tell
ing of time when she watched outside n
door in the Grand Hotel, her husband.
another man and q woman being locked
behind it, she said she counted twenty
eight drinks that were carried in. =
The husbands attorney, among other
questions, asked Mrs. McQuiddy ii it was
not true that the reason her husband de-
prived her of money was because she
could not be trusted with it. He claimed
that she spent all her coin for LIQUOR.
This the witness denied, and asserted that
recently she had been in actual want for
food, and on one occasion tainted by rea-
son of weakness caused by lack OF nourish-
ment.
Mrs. McQuiddy denied that her hus-
band ever found empty whisky bottles in
her room in San Jose, and branded as
falsehood the statement that she went ont
on the streets of Hanford, clad IN single
garment, in quest of liquor. She also said
she never drank cologne when she could
get liquid containing alcohol
The fair plaintiff has an aunt who is
matron of e hospital in Hollister, and Mr..
McQuiddy wanted her to live with her

SECURE FOREIGN TRADE.
San Francisco Merchants Look
lhg for More Business
With Japan.
The Chamber of Commerce May Send
Man to Solicit Trade Across
the Pacific.

Much Importance is attached to the nro-
leet now being considered by the Chamber
OF Commerce to send representative from
the Pacific Coast merchants to japan for
the purpose of soliciting foreign trade and
broadening the commercial interests of
California, particularly of San Francisco.
It's the purpose OF the merchants organ
ization to send representative man to
Japan trst as an experiment, and If the
results OF his labors there in stimulating
trade are sufficiently encouraging other
representatives will be sent by the Cham
Der OF Commerce to other seaport coun-
tries, such as Peru, Chile, Brazil. the
Sandwich Islands and the countries of
Central America.
San Francisco has taken the initiative in
the matter of seeking for more foreign
trade, and the project is being commended
on all sides with strong tide in favor of
the dispatching of competent man in the
near future.
The matter was to have come up for dis
cussion yesterday afternoon at the meet,ng
of the Cham Der of Commerce. but as the
delegation from the Board of TRADE did
not materialize the session was postnonad
until next Wednesday afternoon at the
Board of Trade rooms.
The wholesale importing merchants of
San Francisco and the owners of steam
ships and sailing vessels have been corn
planning for some time past of the Iaxitv
OF the foreign trade, and it is believed that
soliciting among the merchant abroad
ana stirring them up will improve the con.
dition of affairs. Many vessels are now
lying in the harbor waiting for charters.
while others which are doing duty have
not paid their own insurance premiums in
the past three years, according to the
statements of their owners.
AS there is at present no fund in the
hands of the Chamber of Commerce. for
defraying the expense Of sending a man 10
Japan the amount will be made up by in
dividual subscriptions from the various
merchants interested. At present there
are ten or twelve names under considera-
ton, and 1T is expected that both the cues
sent will be decided at the meeting On
Wednesday.

OFFICIAL KITE-FLY1NG.
Weather Prophet Harmon Meets with
Success in His Experiments.

SuCCCSS III hls experiments.
Weather Prophet Harmon still con-
tinues his kite-fying experiments with
gratifying results. at present all of the
observations by the Weather Bureau are
made from the surface, or at best from the
tops Of high buildings and hills.
Scientific men, however, have invented
delicately constructed instruments bv
which the humidity, temperature, wind
velocity, ETC., can be determined at eleva-
lions above the influence of the conditions
at the surface of the ground.
The difficulty has been to get such an in
strument at the required elevation without
the aid of a balloon.
The difficulty has been overcome by the
flyers of kites, and when this feat is
brought to something like perfection the
little register, which weighs about two
pounds. will be sent into the sky on the
tail of kite.
The attempt of Mr.. Harmon to send
up several kites from the top of the Twin
Peaks last Saturday was not O success, as
the wind blew such gale at that point
that 1t tore five of his eight large kites to
pieces.
On Wednesday he made another and
more successful attempt in this direction
at the park. He used piano wire, two
pounds to the mile, and sent one kite up
1000 feet on half mile of wire.
A second kite was fastened on, tandem
fashion, and the first kite reached an alti-
tude of 200 feet ON mile of wire. The
lifting power proved satisfactory.
After a few more trials Mr.. Harmon
will send up the little instrument to help
him in foreca5tlng the weather.

GIVES HERSELF THE LIE.
Alma E. Josselyn Retracts Her
Charges Against George
Staacke.
Dr.. Marten Says She Must Be Insane
or Influenced by Designing
Persons.

A new phase of the DIR. Marten-Alma
Josselyn case came TO light yesterday
Some time ago Miss Josselyn sued
George Staacke for $4,000 damages for al
legged seduction. Staacke is her grand
father-that is, Alma Josselyn's father is
the adopted son of Staacke's wife. The
young woman declared in her complaint
that when she first came 10 live in the
Staacke home, being then less than II
years OF age, her grandfather by threats
and force accomplished her ruin and that
their Illicit relations extended over a
period of several years.
Yesterday General w. II. L.. Barnes,
who was Miss Josselyn's attorney, filed a
paper asking that the case be dismissed.
Attached to the request was the following
letter from his client:
SAN FRANCISCO July Q, 1896
General ". II. L. Bdrnes-DEAR SIR: re-
ceived your message this morning through D.
A. Ryan. In regard to the suit that was filed
against my grandfather, George Staacke, beg
to say that what the affidavit contained was
false, every word of ii, and was compelled by
DR.. Arthur Marten to swear to it under
threats of death; not only this affidavit, but
many other documents; and under the cir
cumstances beg of you to dismiss the case
against Mr.. Staacke, as no such thing ever
happened, and / hope and trust that DR..
Marten may be placed where he belongs.
Very respectfully ALMA E. JossELYN.
When DR.. Marten. who is still confined
IN the City Prison, was told of the
woman's statement he became greatly
excited and exclaimed, '.She is crazy !;
completely out of her head n consequences
of her physical condition. When her trou-
bles are over she will tell the truth about
all these affairs"
When asked if he had compelled or even
advised her to begin the damage suit
against George Staacke he said:
ITO be sure knew about it, but I did
not advise her to do as she did in this
matter. What l did tell her was that ii
she began such an action l, as her hus-
band, would stand by her and uphold her
honor. She has fallen into the hands of
sharks. who by the use of money are max
ing her say anything that pleases them.
When her mind clears up she will tell the
truth, am sure"
