II Is Largely in Americas
Favor
Wall Street Is Beyond the
Reach of Panic Now.
Foreign Brokers Are Buying Back
United States Securities.

According to the Monetary Trust, after
35 business days we will face the election
crisis, but before 20 OF those days have
expired the large New York journals,
realizing that this Is the most important
campaign of our history, will have cam
vsssed in detail the important doubtful
states. Fsr-seeing operators will be able
TO place substantial reliance upon this
public information as well as upon
importations of gold will protect US from
monetary complications or disasters
within the next few weeks. The finan-
cisl world has made complete revolu-
tion. At last the United States has been
lifted into ascendency in international
monetary affairs. We are now drawing
money from other countries. The trade
balance for the current year, II compared
with last year, will be more than 200, :
600, 700 in our favor.
They understood us better than we un-
derstood ourselves. There was more La
tent silver sentiment than we realized.
We find ourselves this time the owners of
all the securities Europe was in position
to sell, and are now getting its gold. In
the early future foreigners Will buy our
securities again ana send Us still more
gold. Now, look at the situation on this
side of the Atlantic. When Bryanism
burst into the realization OF cur citizens,
cautious capitalists and timid invest ors
sold their securities in order to avoid
the risk OF an ominous campaign. This
selling by timid men has sent good Sc
curties into strong boxes and into the
ownership of capitalists of courage. Such
securities are now beyond the reach of
temporary Influences. Unless some gi-
gsntic International war scare develops,
Wall street is beyond the reach of panic.
Except in a degree comparatively insig-
nihcant, it is beyond the reach of man
ipulatiop. The market Is in the grasp
OF Influences which are not local and not
temporary. Not before have so many
Americans been waiting an opportune
moment for purchases. We must ignore,
therefore, the temporary market as hav-
ing no speciai significance, except as it
reveals the manoeuvres of few men who
will be overborne and submerged in the
general radical movement which Is
slowly taking place. The larger portion
OF the business of our country Is neces-
sity business, and the movement of this
necessity business, is already visible, and
will increase as the usual fall demand
appears.

Lieutenant O'Neill at the Tickenden

the Central station are conceded to be
among the best and most careful men In

consequence. their associates are, how
ever, having laugh at the manner in
which Andrew j. Smith, the fire bug, who

At o'clock this morning Assistant
Superintendent George Il. Day came in
from the asylum to take charge OF Smith,
and just before leaving the station Mr..
Day told Smith to put on his light over

No Meetings to Be Held in the
Church While the Pastor
Offciates.
KISSING TO BE DENOUNCED.
Resolutions to Be Presented WedneS.
day-Mrs. Stockton May Ignore
the Church.

Each day develops a stronger solidifica-
ton of the forces that are arrayed against
the course that has been announced by
DR.. Brown and his adherents, and the
rallying point is the venerable and brave
woman, who on Wednesday night dared.
alone and unsupported, to make protest
against the adoption of resolutions of con-
fidence in the pastor OF the First Congre-
gational Church.
One of the most significant developments
yesterday was the expression made by q
majority of the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor of DIR. Browns church
to the effect that the society would hold
no meetings at the church so long as DR..
Brown presumed to officiate.
Mrs. Stockton has assumed an attitude
of Indifference in reference to the charges
that have been filed against her with the
standing committee Of the First Church,
and 1t is likely that she will ignore all
ecclesiastical efforts to open out the record
of her life.
Another element of interest will be added
to the meeting of Wednesday next by the
introduction by the friends of Mrs. Cooper
of resolution denouncing those who par
ticipated in the kissing of last Wednesday
night

called to investigate. The demand for a
church trial of Mrs. Stockton, who is still
member of the congregation in good
standing. is preferred by the anti-Brown
faction. The committee members think
that in this manner DR.. Brown will be
called upon to substantiate his charge of
extortion against Mrs. Stockton, and in
view of the widows published statement
feel that be will be unable to do so.
Mrs. Stockton however, will not appear
before the standing committee. In that
case DR.. Browns testimony will stand I'M
forced to leave the church. Should this be
the result it will cause the fascinating Kin
dergarren teacher little or no sorrow.
81 am not worrying over this affair, -
said Mrs. Stockton yesterday. at does
not pay to worry. don't you knew? The
fact is, ! am taking very little interest in
this so-called scandal of the church"
Twill YOU make statement to the
standing committee?'' was asked.
ssNow, | don't wish to bother nv head
about the affair at ALL" she replied
sharply.
"Why did you attend the prayer-meet-
ing on Wednesday,"
"To get spiritual consolation, of course, ("
replied the pretty little widow, with a
smile. "Do you fancy that the innocent
Mrs Stockton could have any other pur-
pose?' and again she smiled.
"WiH YOU remain in the church ?"
"Weil since l went into the church
under the administration of Dr. Brown it
is not improbable that | may be privileged
to go out with it.
In this manner, and with much spirit
and good humor, Mrs. Stockton showed
her cleverness at fencing.
II have always been curious to know,
Mrs. Stockton inquired young lady
reporter, who was one of half dozen
representatives of the press whom she
admitted to her fat at 615A Mason street,
"What the menu at the Maison Richie was
like on the occasion of the famous
dinner?'
sWell, the fact is, have eaten so MANY
dinners since that time, not with Dr.
Brown however, that l have really for
gotten" replied Mrs. Stockton with a
laugh.
'Will you attend the prayer-meeting
next Wednesday,"
"Well, that depends on how my supply
of spiritual consolation is by that time, u

cally since Wednesday night, and have
no wish to be disturbed" continued Mrs.
Stockton
'Will you receive the standing COM
mittee if call is made on your
well, if the gentlemen of the COM
niittee are anyway interesting l may con-
slider the matter" and there was more
laughter.
Seriously speaking, however, have re-
ceived no notice from the standing COM
mittee of the church, and until do can
decide on no course of action"
Some person asked her what she thought
of the stand Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper had
taken.
MRS. Cooper is saint" is all she
would say.
Mrs Stockton is expected to make no
statement to the committee. Her DISPOSE
ton is to allow DR.. Brown to have his
fling. She says that she wants to be left
severely alone.

She it was that remained silent when her
character was aspersed. Finally she was
induced to make statement for pubiica-
ton. The statement was first published
in THE CALL, word for word as it was
made.
Dr. Brown had charged her with black
mailing him out of 5000. This she en-
phatically denied.
She admitted, however, having received
money, voluntary offerings. at different

patiently awaited until her days work
was done that he might escort her home;
how they dined together at restaurant

morality; how he kissed her in her room
and caressed her in his study.
This, in brief, was the statement made
by Mrs. Stockton in reply to the charges
in the affidavit made by Attorney Greer
and published at the instance of Dr.
Brown.
1t is upon these charges of alleged ex-
tortion that the standing committee of the
First Congregational Church has been

ON THE AL MSHOUSE TRACT
Supervisors Finally Decide On a
Location for the Pest.
House.
Mayor Sutro Had Not Found a Site
and Was Refused Further
Time.

AS Mayor Sutro had not vet succeeded
in finding a suitable site for the pest
house the Health and Police Committee
of the Board of Supervisors decided YES
terday to place the institution on the
Almshouse Tract in a small valley that
was selected some time ago.
Mayor Sutro asked more time, stating
that he had been negotiating for the pur-
chase of Shag Rock, but the committee
did not believe that under any circum-
stances this would be suitable site and
refused to grant any further delay.
The Mayors main objections were sub
mitted as follows:
First-This tract is the geographical center
OF San Francisco, and the winds blowing from
the west, almost during the whole year, will
scatter disease germs over the thlckly settled
Mission country and South San Francisco,
endangering the lives of a large portion of our
population and creating constantly recur-
ring feeling OF dread of disease and insecurity
of mind
Second-The value of taxable property which

Oonnty. atthe rate of per cent, OF 100000.
Ihlrd-The actual value of the land to be
occupied by the Pesthouse, say one acre, is
a6out $1,000, and the plea is made that the
City already owns this land and, therefore,
need not buy site. AS a financial PROPOSE
ton, then, the City viii make use of piece of
property valued at $1,000, and thereby lose an

The Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor is in state of instruction.
1t will hold no more meetings in the
First Congregational Church if DR.. Brown
continues to preach there.
prominent member Of the society,
who for personal reasons declined to have
his name mentioned in connection with
the scandal, gave expression to his opin-
ions yesterday.
81 have seen a large number of the
church members and those of the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor,"
said he, land they are firm in their deter
mination not to attend church as long as
DR.. Brown breaches, or until he clears
himself of the charges made against him.
They are all willing to give him every
chance to clear himself. even if he desires
three or four months in which to do so;
but they feel that there will be q split In
the church if he insists on preaching. The
best interests of the church will be sub
served by his remaining away until he is
ready to explain his course of action.
"They are in hearty accord with the state
ment made by Mrs. Cooper at prayer
meeting last Wednesday evening. Right
here l want to say that the statements
made by certain papers that the audience

Very few of the members of the Y. P. S.

SO far forgot their sense of decency, to use
mild word, as to hiss lady. The hiss
ing was largely done by crowd of out
siders, who were there to support DR..

of several.
"Dr. Browns seeking refuge behind the
statement that his attorney will not per-
mi To tal1 Mr-
Cooper his defense under promise of Sc
crecy, gives color to the belief that he
either has no defense at all or that it is so
weak as not to permit the scrutiny even of
Mrs. Cooper. 1t will be at least two
mouths before Mrs. Davidson's trial will
have been finished, and two or three
weeks longer before council can be called.
The church cannot stand strain SO severe
as that, even to crafty DR.. Browns de-
sire to see Mrs. Davidson behind the bars.
1.-THE active workers of the Christian
Endeavor Society, realizing that unless
some action was taken the members would
drift out of the church and perhaps not
return again, have decided, after serious
consultation, to hold their prayer-meeting
at the residence of some of the members
instead of at the church. This is only
done to prevent large nun Der of resigna-
tions beng sent in, and as a careful can
vas OF the members reveals the fact that at
least three-fourths of those who regularly
attend positively refuse to listen to DR..
Brown or to go to the church so long as
he breaches, they will take firm stand on
the matter.
Next Sunday will see very small
attendance of active workers at the First
Congregational Church. At least two
thirds of the Sunday school teachers have
signified their intention to remain away.
Many of these have taught in the school
for years.
The meetings of the society will be held
at the home of Miss Myrtle Simpson.
