investigation of the management of

accused of knowing that the ex-Chi-
nese Interpreter Dick Williams was
making money by illegally landing
Chinese, while the latter is accused of
having accepted valuable presents

AN ADMIRAL UNDER FIRE.

Paris, Aug. 19.-During artillery
practice of the French Mediterranean
squadron yesterday, off Toulon, Ad-
miral Gervais and staff had narrow
escape. Instead of aiming at the tar
get, which was about 500 yards be-
hind the flagship Brennus, battle
ship of 1000 tons displacement, the
cruiser Wander turned her quick fire
guns on the flagship. The shells rain
ed around Admiral Gervais and staff
and their escape was miraculous.
The glass in the admirars coming
tower was riddled and one sailor
wounded. There is much mystery as
to how the mistake occurred and it is
thought impossible that the gunners
could have missed the mark by 500
yards.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

der which every dollar shall be
without discrimination as good as

rent without question, as far as
practicable, here and elsewhere.
s. We are opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio OF 16 to l irrespective Of the
com mercisl value of that metal, as
we are opposed to the issuance and
circulation OF all forms OF fat
money.
8. Parties are made for men,
and not men for parties, and the
allegiance which parties owe
through their political affiliations
is not mere party name, but to
the principles which the party
was organized to promote. 1t
is manifest, accordingly, that
when an apparent major
ity OF a party makes use
of its temporary ascendency to re-
pudiate the basic principles on
which the party rests, and violate
the traditions to which the party
in the past has owed its greatness
and its glory, it becomes the duty
of every patriotic member to re-
buke its misleaders, and by chas-
tening defeat compel the party to
return to its ancient principles and
resume its capacity for continued
usefulness.
10. We believe that in order to
maintain the integrity Of the Dem.
ocratic party, and to preserve its
principles pure and uncontaminat-
ed, it is the duty of all Democrats
to repudiate the platform and
nominees of the late Chicago con-
vention, and cast their votes for
electors selected to voice the prin.
ciples and maintain the policy Of
the true Democracy.
A report Of the committee on
permanent organization was
adopted. The committee recon-
mended that Col. Epson and Mr..
Burgess be elected permanent
chairman and secretary and that
an executive committee of one
member from each election pre-
cinct of Bexar county be appointed
and that the chairman and secre-
tary of last nights meeting be
made ex-officio chairman and sec
rotary of the executive committee
of the National Democratic party
of Bexar county, and that the
chairman shall have power to ap-
point the committee.
Col. Epson delivered an interest
ing speech on sound money, in
which he stated that the Demo-
cratic free silverites have stolen
their platform from the Popu-
lists. He also took to task
the boy orator, who Is in

junketing tour. A gentleman on

asked the speaker IL a 500 United
States gold piece is worth as much

"Of course, 1t IT," replied the
speaker; sail the world" The
gentleman persisted that free sill
yer was the stuff and drew the fol-
lowing: "You vote for Bryan,
and If he is elected, by the time he
gets through with the country,
there won't be a grease spot left of
you" This brought forth a loud
outburst of cheers, and caused Nat.
Sulzbacher to query: Snow, will

A gentleman on the opposite
side of the house wanted to know
how much United States 500 in
gold is worth in Mexico, and the
answer promptly came: "Forty-

HOBART IN JERSEY CITY.
The Republics Candidate Receives n
Most Enthusiastic Greeting.

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 2S.-Garret A. Ho-
bart was given an enthusiastic welcome
last night In this city on his return home.
He arrived at the Pennsylvania depot in
company with Governor Griggs at 80 p.
m. The party, together with number Of
other distinguished men, We're escorted to
the Oakland Rink, where more than 5000
people had gathered. The route traversed
by the parade was black with the cheer
ing crowds.
Mr.. Hobart and Governor Griggs wcro
wildly applaudod when they made their
appearance on the platform the enthus-
iasm of the spectators seeming to know no
bounds
1t was after several minutes that Mr..
Hobart was able to speak. After congrat-
ulating the people that the votes would
be honestly counted, and then entering
into long discussion of the finances, he
concluded Il rejoice with you because
the better part of the Democratic party is
composed of men who have patriotism
enough to stand with us and aid us in
this campaign. They are with us because
of the assault on the courts; because they
are in favor of honest money and law and
order; not because they are Republicans,
but because they are liberty loving, God
fearing citizens of our republic"
Mr. Hobart touched upon the state poll
tics, eulogzing the candidates of the Re
publican ticket.
Governor Griggs made a brief speech and
was followed by Judge j. Frank Fort
reception was then held, and a great
rush was made to shake the hand of the
vice presidential candidate The party
later in the evening were escorted to the
reviewing stand on the boulevard where
they saw the parade of the Republican
clubs of Hudson county. Fully 1900 men
were in line.
