CHANGING THE BOOTHS.
Interested Parties Are Causing Regis
trar Hinton Much Perturbation
of Mind.

Complaints of the action of interested
parties in moving election booths con-
tinue to come into the Registrars office
and a force of men is kept constantly ia
work carting booths back to their original
stations and repairing the damage done
by vandals.
The most bold faced effort to defeat the
object of locating election booths away
from saloons occurred yesterday.
The location of the booth in the Fifth
Precinct of the Thirty-sixth Assem- bly,
District was fixed at the intersection of
Dolores and Dorland streets and it was
terday it was discovered that it had been
built at Eighteenth and Sanchez streets
and an investigation of the map in the
Registrars Office showed that the pin that
represented the site of the booth was
located there.
The clerks book, however. called for q
booth at Dolores and Dorland streets, and
close scrutiny developed the fact that
the pin had been taken from the place
where it had originally been located and
placed on the line of Sanchez street. As
the booth was mysterlously carted to the
same place, 1t is believed that the same
person engineered both schemes.
Notices have been received from the
police that the booths at Valencia and
Twenty first streets, Valencia and Twenty

BRYAN a YOUNG ENTHUSIAST

The Hon. John w. Foster, who arrived
here on Friday and will sail for Honolulu
to-day, has decided opinions IN regard 20
the present election.
His State is Indiana, though he has
been residing in Washington for some
years while making speciality of cases of
international law. Speaking about Indi-
ana and other States yesterday, he said:
II spent about ten days in Indiana on
the way out. We are having fight there.
We always have. But this year the Popu-
lists and Democrats have comb bined.
However, that won't make any difference.
We will beat them anyway. By how
much of majority will we carry the elec-
ton? That is hard TO say. / don't pre-
tend to know. Some say $4,000 or 10000.
But we are going to carry it.
'And we are going to carry the country
for Mckinley. My only anxiety now is to
see what California is going to do. The
State ought to be for Mckinley by an over
whelming majority.
mo other State needs protection so
much as California. The varied products
you have here attest this. California has
many Republican friends in the East. who
would be sorry to see the State go for the
Democratic party.
II was in Chicago on my way here.
There they were very confident and enthu-
siastic. Chicago is going to give McKin-
ley greater majority than any other man
ever received there.
Everything in Iowa is favorable, too.
| met very intelligent gentleman on the
train who was from Minnesota, and he
told me there was no doubt about that
State, that it would be for Mckinley by a
rousing majority.
81 have not heard Mr.. Bryan, but /
understand he holds his audiences well.
He is an eloquent talker but that is all.
He repeats himself over and over, and is
in short young and inexperienced en-
thusiast. He has never made a success of
anything, and what the Democratic party
wanted to put him up tor l cannot imagine.
There are able men in the party, even
among the silver men, but of course there
are more among the gold Democrats
Bryan never had any law practice to
amount to anything, and didn't make a
success of it. Then he tried newspaper
work, and from what l am informed
didn't make much of success of that.
He is simply young enthusiast.
His judgment is not matu-ed, and he
is not the right kind of a man for the
place to which be aspires."

Foster will spend several weeks in Ha-

business with pleasure. He will not ex-

Will Probably Appear at the Audi
torium in November.
Friedlander, Gottlob & Co. announce
that they have engaged the transforma-
tion dancer. Loie Fuller, to appear at the
Auditorium next month.
The little American girl, who has set
Paris agog over her wonderful aerial
flights and rapid weather transformations,
is no ordinary danseuse, who has been
trained by dancing master to pirouette
and point her toes. She made up her
mind to do som ething startling and con-
ceived the idea of initiating in her own
motions the curlings of the ocean waves,
OF flames of fire and wreaths of smoke.
Technically speaking, La Loie Fuller
does not dance. She wields yards and
yards OF illmy drapery, through which she
is herself always plainly visible. She goes
through every possible phase OF weather.
She is the monday sun, the April shower,
the. sunset the storm, the moonlight
night and the rosy dawn.
Loie Fuller, who came within appreci-
able distance OF setting the Thames and
the Seine on fire, did not succeed in put
ting even match to any of the rivers in
her own country during her recent tour.
Her performance, however, is a very in
lerestlng one, and it is to be hoped that
her engagement here is settled fact.
