Bryan Men FulfU A7tte- Election PLEDGES
Before Delighted McKinIeyites.
BENICIA. CAL, Nov. GA glorious
ratification OF the election of Mckinley
and the restoration of the Government to
the conservative element of the country
was held here tonight. Immense bon-
fires were kindled at all the prominent
places in town and large crowds were en-
tertained with patriotic speeches by local
orators.
Among the numerous items of enter
tainment was the whitewashing of a ton
of coal by Bryan man, as the result of a
wager on the election. The job was done
in scientific manner. while numerous
friends tendere gratuitous advice on the
manner in which it. should be done, each
piece of coal being christened after some
popular Bryanite.
The leading attraction was a wheel
barrow ride that was given by promi-
nent State official to local merchant
The procession was headed by the Benicia
Mckinley Club in full uniform and every
citizen who vo ed for Mckinley marched
in the line. The ratification demonstrated
the thorough satisfaction of the people
over Mck1nley's election.

MEN WHO DO HORSES WORK.
A Million Japanese Engaged in Pull
ing Jinrikishas.

Ing Jinrlkishas.
One of ii not the greatest obstacle in the
way OF the industrial progress of Japan is
the fact that upward OF 1000, 600 of the
most muscular OF its population are en-
gagged as beasts of burden. In this calcu-
lation do not include those occupations
in which the day laborers of all civilized
countries are engaged. The statement is
simply based on the fact that over 1,00O.-
600 of the vigorous manhood are engaged
in the transportation of people and COM
modities from place to place. performing
the work which IN Europe and America Is
done by ANIMALS, by steam, by electricity
and other modern methods OF conveyance.
So tremendous is this drain upon the pop
ulation of the empire that much of the
other hard labor, such as loading coal on
vessels, handling heavy freight on rail-
ways, the driving and loading of pack
horses. heavy farm work and the like, is
performed by women, who, dressed in
tight blue cotton trousers and tunics, are
compelled to do for Japan what the long
shoremen, yardmen and farm laborers do
in the United States.
The estimate that over !, ,000, COO men are
engaged in the Mikado's empire in these
degra ing occupations is based upon the
fact that the returns of 1895 show total
OF 199,4ll linrikishas anu 914 $40 band
carts. As all these carriages and carts are
licensed, the returns are probably correct.
In the case of the jinrikishas the nun ber
OF puliers and pushers is greatly in excess

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 6.-The
marked Improvement in business already
noticeable in this city as result OF Nc
kinley's election and the maintenance of
the country's honor and credit is an ex-
tremely significant forerunner of what
may be expected in trade circles in the fu-
ture An air OF enterprise and business
prosperity is everywhere apparent. The
return OF ante-election Withdrawals from
The banks has been very marked yester-
day and to-day. All the bankers here ex-
pected this result but they are greatly
surprised at the number of the deposits
made during the past forty eight hours.
building and real-estate circles are also
ieeling the effects of returning con tidence.
Trade IN almost every line has greatly i'm
proved, while the future is full of promise
for better times in every department of
commerce and manufacture.
II. w. Hellman of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank, said to-day: "A great
deal OF gold, which was locked up by timid
people in safe deposit vaults, is again
flowing back into Its natural channel in
banking houses, where 1t belongs. Our
late dispatches from the East show a very
healthy feeling as regards the future.
Bonds and gilt-edged stocks have, since
the election. gone up from 2 to per cent.
Ali business men, irrespective OF party,
concede that ii was best. for all that NJ ajor
Mckinley should be the victor in the
great struggle. l am confident that Cali
fornia's wants will be looked into thor
oughly, and that what we are entitled to
we shall receive. We should be very pros
porous in this end of the State for our
orange, raisin and other industries will be
protected"
1--WE are all happy" said Abraham
Jacoby, president of the Board OF Trade.
"There is no need os my saying anything.
Here IS dispatch just sent out'':
Witiam Mckinley, Canton, Ohio: The busi-
ness men of Los Angeles extend their heart
felt congratulations on the magnificent VIC
tory of law, order, sound money and pro-
lection.
H. J. Woollacott of the Security Bank
said: Money is flowing into the banks
from the safe deposits. There is an air of
confidence that means much to the people
here at home"
H. w. Frank, president of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association,
said: 1.-The principal effect of the election
is a restoration OF confidence. / believe
that the Republican party will make
every effort to keep the pledges in its
platform, and that the cause of bimetal-
lism, with all the safeguards of honor
thrown around it, will be furthered. /
believe Mckinley will make history for
US. He is man of firm convictions, and
will be as true TO the workineman as to

ent indications are that 1 have over
200 plurality. w. w. BOWERS.
Congressman Bowers is confident that
he Is reelected, basing his belief on al
most complete but unofficial returns from
the Seventh District. There was O big
jollification meeting at Chula Vista last
night and the Congressman was there,
but before leaving San Diego he was in
terviewed for HE CALL regarding his
chances.
II have figures from friends all over the
district, be said, (which show that am
elected by 213 at least, with all precincts
heard from. The figures compiled in San
Francisco, which give Castle 227 plurality
over me. are wrong. ! have over 200 sure
and expect over 800. One thing to be re-
mem bered is that Castles name was on
the ticket twice, and many Populists, be-
lieving they were required to vote twice
for Castle in order to complete the fusion,
put crosses opposite his name in both
places where it appeared on the ticket,
thus invaIidating their vote. The elec-
tion boards in the rural districts counted
Castles name twice where two votes had
been cast in this fashion, and l have a
County alone that were counted for Castle
in this manner. OF course these will be
thrown out next week when the official
count is made"
The returns compiled in San Francisco,
to which Congressman Bowers refers. give
Castle Is, 271 and Bowers 1876, with thir-
teen precincts to hear from. 1t is be-
lieved Mr.. Bowers bases his claim upon
unofficial advices from these precincts.
The situation in the Sixth District is
peculiar. The fusionists claim Darlow's
election, and McLachlan comedies it.
while the Republican committee returns
give the Pasadenan the victory. The re-
turns have got mixed in some manner,
and the result Will be known beyond
doubt only when the ballots are can
vassed by the Election Commissioners.
The returns compiled in San Francisco,
upon which the fusion confidence rests
give McLachlan 1888 and Barlow 23,61s.

Henry Rice is sadder but wiser man.
He was bent on voting on Tuesday and
did so In spite of the advice of the election
judges. His arrest followed soon there
after. This morning he appeared in
Judge Smiths court and acknowledged
his guilt. He had formerly lived in the
precinct and registered from that precinct
although he did not live there and was
not entitled to vote, all of which was
known to him. After pleading guilty

THE PALACE AT XANADU,
A Bit From Marco Polo That Inspired
q Famous Poem.

A Bit From Marco Polo That Inspired
Famous Poem.
And when you have ridden three DAYS
from the city last mentioned, between
northeast and north, you come to city
called Chandu, which was built by the
Kaan now reigning. There is at this
place a very fine marble palace, the rooms
of which are all gilt and painted with fig
ures of men aud beasts and birds and
with variety of trees and flowers, all ex-
ecuted with such exquisite art that you
regard them with delight and astonish-
ment.
Round this palace wall is built, in
closing a compass of sixteen miles, and
inside the park there are fountains and
rivers and brooks, and beautiful meadows
with all kinds OF wild animals Excluding
such as are of ferociohs nature), which
the Emperor has procured and placed
there to supply food for his gerfalcons
and hawks, which he keeps here in new.
OF these there are more than 200 gerfal-
cons alone. without reckoning the other
hawks. The Kaan himself goes every
week TO see his birds sitting in NEW, and
sometimes he rides through the park with
a leopard behind him on his horses Group !;
and then IL he sees any animal that takes
his fancy, he slips his leopard at it, and
the game when taken is made over to feed
the hawks in new. This he does for di-
version.
Moreover, at spot in the park where
there is charming wood, he has another
palance built of cane, of which must give
you description. 1t is gilt all over and
most elaborately finished inside. 1t is
stayed on gilt and lackered columns, on
each side of which is dragon all gilt, the
tail OF which is attached to the column,
while the head supports the architrave
and the claws likewise are stretched out
right and left to support the architrave.
The roof, like the rest, is formed of
canes. covered with a varnish so strong
and excellent that no amount of rain will
rot them. These canes are a good three
palms in girth and from ten to fifteen
PAGES in length. They are cut across at
each knot, and then the pieces are split SO
as to form from each two hollow tiles, and
with these the house is rooted only, every
such tile of cane has to be nailed down
to prevent the wind from lifting it. In
short, the whole palace is built of these
canes, which serve also for great variety
OF other useful purposes. The construc-
ton of the palace is so devised that it
can be taken down and put up again with
great celeriiy, and it can all be taken to
pieces and removed whithersoever the
Emreror may command. When erected
1t Is braced against mishaps from the
wind by more than 200 cords OF silk

local Democrats attribute the defeat OF

combine of Senator White and T. v.
Gator to control the Legislature and effect
the return of the one and the election of
the other to the United States Senate.
Whites failure to elect Jones as State

as an evidence of the Senator's waning
