DEMANDED SPEECHES.
Ahe Audience at Morosco's Give a
housing "Good-By'' to Brinker
and Miss Hall.


H.. Coulter Brinker and Maud Edna
Hall closed long engagements at Moros-
cos Grand Opera-house last night. Miss
Hall has played the part of the lovely
heroine, and Mr.. Briaker has been the
manly and magnanimous hero so success
fully that they have won warm places in
the hearts of Mr.. Morosco's clientele.
Knowing that it was Brinker's last ap-
pearance, the audience would not let him
stay dead last night after he was killed in
the second act
From all over the house came cries for a
speech. The cries became roar, and the
curtain had to go up. Mr.. Brinker made
an effective little farewell talk, though his
usually clear voice could hardly be heard
at first. He was greeted with cheers and
cries of '.good-by" and "good luck' as the
curtain fell.
A similar ovation was rendered Miss
Hall in her last scene. She could respond
only by pretty bows and kisses thrown
from from her finger tips.

OAKLAND. CAL, Feb. 16.-James
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-17


The decision of the Supreme Court pub
lished in this paper few days ago. which
it is held definitely decides in favor of two
year terms for county officers, has caused
big dutter in this ultra political commu-
nifty. Otfice-holders are in dilemma and
they are on both horns OF it. If they ac-
knowledge that their four-year aspirations
cannot hold and commence to make a
campaign to succeed themselves it Will
greatly add to the vigor with which those
who wish to do the succeeding are making
their fights. On the other hand, if the
office-holders fold their hands in assumed
security and do nothing they may realize
too late that the opportunity for another
term has gone by. AS no move can be
made to get the matter before the Su-
preme Court on a specific issue before the
time for making nominations the situation
is rendered very complex, and whatever is
done will have to be done with a rush on
the eve OF the election. This being the
case the air is full of the names of candi-
dates, and erybody who is accustomed
to make dollar out of politics is laying
plans. The ten-to-one chance that the
Supreme Court may decide in favor of
four-year terms gives beautiful chance to
the political gamblers to perform the trick
known as playing both ends against the
middle, and they are taking hold of it
with an energy that would be commend
able and surprising in any other cause.
Gavin D. High, who took proprietary
right of the historic old battlefield known
IS the Oakland Times to-day, was trying
to PROFOUND conundrum last night He
wants to know why newspaper man
should never be supposed to have dollar.
'pm here" said Mr.. High to a few
friends who had gathered to welcome him
into the local field of journalism, s.and I've
bought this paper and paid for it. All
ready I've been asked several times where
l got the money from to make the DUR
chase. l have said that | have been in
active newspaper work for fifteen wears
and that it was possible l might have
raised few cents. This seemed to be too
incredible to believe, and only produced
laugh. Then some one asked me if I.had
others suggested that had not paid for it.
Now, what business is il of anybody's? /
own this paper, and | paid for it, and
can't understand why it is that news
paper man should be supposed to be sys-
tematically bankrupt
Mr.. High is new to Oakland journalism.
When he has been here six months he
will be able to answer his own question
and will also be able to explain the cause
OF peoples inquisitiveness.
The opposition to Judge Wood of the
Police Court is the kind that strengthens

DECISIVE ACTION TAKEN BY THE
ANTI-SILVER DEMOCRATS OF
PENNSYLVANIA.
COMMITTEE OF SEVEN MEN
LEADERS AND FORMULATE A
PLAN.
NEW YORK COMMITTEE TO MEET.
Action Until After the Coming
State Convention.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July IA
this city and adjoining counties, op-
posed to the nomination of Bryan and
Sewall and the adoption of the Chi
cago platform, met to-day and after
considerable discussion adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolved, First, That the platform adopted
by the Chicago convention is neither honest
nor patriotic, and therefore not Democratic.
Second, That it differs so radically from
the past doctrines of the Democratic party.
and particularly from the national platform
OF 1892 and the Pennsylvania platform of the
year 1896, that we cannot, as honest Demo-
Gratis, accept it's wide departure from true
Democratic doctrine, and we believe that the
highest duty Of true Democrats is to make
every effort to defeat the ticket nominated
at Chicago.
Resolved, That a committee of seven be
appointed of which the president Of this ma
tion shall be chairman, with instructions to
confer with representative Democrats through
out the state for the purpose of formulating
some plan to preserve the Integrity Of the
Democratic party in Pennsylvania and secure
the defeat of Bryan and Sewall.
Henry D. Welch, one of the vice.
presidents of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, presided. ,e Among those present
were Charles Henry jones'. vice-presi-
dent of the Trust Company of North
America; ]. Simpson, president Of the
Union Trust company; ex-Appraiser
Charles E. Ingersoll and John " Nc
Cullom, the well-known manufacturer
The sentiment Of the meeting was in
opposition to third ticket, as leopard
izing the chances Of Mckinley and
Hobart in several states. Mr.. Singerly
stated that he had been in consulta-
ton with a number Of prominent Re-
publicans, when the present condition
Of affairs was thoroughly discussed
and every possible remedy suggested
These men had urged that the gold
standard Democrats should support the
Republican ticket. In this connection
he proposed a deal whereby those OF
the Democratic party favoring a gold
standard could vote for the Republi-
can nominee and at the same time
insure added support for the state
ticket. This was to be accomplished
by having the Democrats in Demo.
cratic districts give their votes for the
Republican electors and in exchange
the Republicans. should aid, all ir
their power, the election Of Demo
cratic congressman, state senators anc
members Of the Legislature. 1t is prob
able that the committee of seven viii
indorse this plan.

DEANS OF LIBERTY.
Being Indulged In by Patriots oi
Canada

MONTREAL, July Liza Patrie, the
French Liberal party paper of this
CITY, in defense of its agitation for a
movement for the separation of Can
ada from the empire, says, answering
a contemporary: docs our conferee
imagine that Canada is eternalIy des-
tined to be colony, and that Canadi-
ans should be prevented from dreaming
Of Independence That is little too
much, as 1t will find as many English
as French who will declare sincerely
that it is not common sense Our in
terests are far from being identical
with the people of England, and we
will be sacrificed each time that the in
terests of the empire are concerned.
While remaining loyal and respectful.
1t is surely allowed US to think Of the
future, to foretell the destiny of our
country, and to ask IL an Independent
Canada would not be more prosperous
than a Canada in tutelage." AS to the
project to form a French Canadian
republic on the banks of the st. Law
renee, LIE Patrie declares that French
Canadians will not allow themselves
to be wiped out by number OF des-
pots and paryenues.

FIVE HOURS, FIGHTING
Resulted in Defeat of the Cuban
Insurgents.

HAVANA, July 17-Col. Maroto
came upon insurgents under Inglesite
and others occupying a fortified po-
sitions on the Magdalen farm near Ma
tanzas. The Alcantra squadron
charged the insurgents and dispersed
them over the Magote hills. In their
flight the enemy left twenty-five dead
on the field. Among those killed were
DR.. Hilario Isquierdo, who fell in per-
sonal combat with Sergeant Ranquil
who also slew two men who were COM
ing to the assistance Of DIR. Isquierdo
Col. Albelda fought an insurgent force
under Sabana and Guanamoro, near
San Nicolas, province of Havana, and
left eighteen dead in the field. Lieut.
Col Alberfoty had desperate en-
counter with insurgents between Rio
Blanco and Jigulabo, province of Ha-
vana. He had been pursuing some fu-
gitive bands when he came upon a
strong force of Cubans concealed In g.
very advantageous position. They
opened fire upon the Spaniards before
their presence was known, but the SOL
diers behaved well and returned the
fire with effect After five hours of
continuous fighting the insurgents
were driven from their position before
the bayonets of the Spaniards and
compelled to seek refuge in the hills.
When the insurgents camp was
searched thirty-two corpses were
found. A large quantity Of ammuni-
ton was captured

NEW YORK'S ATTITUDE
To be Decided by Convention Soon
to be Called.

to be Called.
POUGHKEEPSIE, Ny, July H.
Chairman Hinkley issued a call to-
night for a meeting of the Democratic
state committee to be held at the Hoff-
man house in New York on Tuesday,
July 28. At the same time as chair
man of the state committee he issued
this manifesto to the Democracy of
the state:
The fact cannot be disguised that the ac-
tion OF the Chicago convention was serious
disappointment to the Democracy of New
York, and has aroused widespread and in
creasing opposition. In this serious situation
the attitude of the party in the state may
with more propriety be determined by its
chosen representatives in council than by in
dividual initiative. l desire to suggest to
you that the state convention will soon be
called, at which the delegates from New
York to recent national convention are ex-
pected to make report of their proceedings,
with appropriate suggestions as to the duty
of the Democracy of the state in the present
crisis. Meantime the utteranees Of the can
didates and proffered interpretations of the
other political bodies with which the Demo-
cratic party is not in sympathy, will tend to
bring the path of duty clearly into view.
Under the circumstances recommend-after
a consultation with many leading Democrats
of the state-that no definite political action
be taken by Democrats until the assembling
of the state convention, which may be trusted
to take such patriotic measures as the honor
and interests of the party and the country,
both for the present and the future, may
demand.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 17.-Sen-
ator VIM. F. Villas and Gen. Edward
S. Bragg have each prepared an ad-
dress to the Democratic party in Wis
consin which will be submitted to the
delegates at large at conference to be
held in Milwaukee tomorrow. One ad-
dress will be adopted by the delegates
and issued to explain the course pur-
sued by the gold delegates for Wiscon-
sin to the national Democratic conven-
ton. Bragg's address Is short and
charges the South and Populists with
overthrowing the long established
rules and customs of the party and be-
ing controlled by the spirit of Coxey
and Herr Most. The address of SEN
ator Villas scores the convention for re-
fusing to indorse the Cleveland adj
ministration, declares that. free silver
means ruin to the country, and urges
the party to nominate straight gold
tickets.
