BLAINE REPUBLICANS.

Nominees Address the Meeting In
K. r. B. Hall and Are Applauded.
The Blaine Republican Club met last
night in K. r. B. Hall, Mason and O'Far-
relI streets, aud heard addresses by some
of the leading candidates on the Republi-
can ticket Ex-SheriH Thomas Desmond
presided, and with few exceptions all
present were lrish-American citizens.
John J. Sullivan delivered speech on
the issues of the campaign. He told his
audience that four years ago the Demo
cratic party in its platform denounced pro-
lection as fraud, snare and unconstitu-
tional The effect of these doctrines is
that men have been waking the streets
and begging bread to sustain life. His
tory has proved that whenever the coun-
try resorted TO free trade stagnation in all
branches OF industry followed. He de-
cared that protection is the best thing for
the farmer, for it caused the products of
the farm to be consumed at home, and the
home market is the best for America.
ut is better for California that warships
are made at the Union Iron Works." said
the speaker, presenting this decidedly eff
fective view of protection to home manu-
factures.
1.-The ships are made here and the
money for their construction goes to the
grocer, the baker, the butcher and trades
men of all descriptions. II the same
money were spent elsewhere then Califor-
MIA would be so much the poorer and the
tradesmen and workingmen SO much
worse off. It is exactly the same with pro-
lection in it's fullest sense"
The speaker was loudly applauded.
After this there was some music, and the
nominees, including Colonel Taylor,
Thomas B. O'BrieD, William Deane,

He MA0E A GUN PLAY,
DR.. Campbell's Rash Act in a
Court of JUS
tice.
The Plaintiff Took the Hint and
Left the Courtroom Hur'
riedly.

J. a. Campbell, physician, whose resi-
dence is at Twenty-fourth and Valencia
streets, created sensation in Justice
Groezinger's court yesterday by gun
play in pantomime, and the excitement
was further heightened by the sudden and
precipitate exit of the defendant in the
case at whom the play was directed.
DR.. Campbell and his wife separated
some time ago and Andrew Todd, who
acted as kind of mutual talebearer be-
tween the two, was employed by the
doctor to remove Mrs. CampbelPs goods
and chattels to her new abode, his COM
pensation being fixed at $12 30. From the
testimony it appeared that Todd collected
from both ends and that Mrs. Campbell
gave up $12 so as well as the doctor.
Somehow it became known to the doc
tor that his wife had also paid the mover S
fee, and he sued Todd for the return OF
the money.
In his answer Todd averred that the
physician was indebted to him to the ex-
tent of several hundred dollars. but
waived all except enough to Offset the
doctors claim and costs.
While witness for the plaintiff was
being examined yesterday DR.. Cam pbell,
who was sitting near Todd, suddenly
dove b is right hand into his hip pocket
and shook the index finger of his Olsen
gagged hand first IN Todd's face and then
toward the door.
Todd evidently took the hint, for be-
fore any one else had compre hended the
meaning of the dumb show he bolted out
of the door, and the doctor settled back in
his chair with a satisfied smile.
As there was really no overt act COM
mitted the Justice could take no official
cognlzance of the matter. Later Todd
admitted his liability, and judgment was
given for the plaintiff with costs.

SOCIETY SENSATION.
Three Members of the "SkuII and
Keys" Society Offer Their
Resignations,

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 16-The society
sensation of the season at the State Univer-
sity took place tonight, when Fletcher Nc
Mutt, Lawrence Havens and Dudley Dean,
all of the class of '96, offered their resigna-
tions to the "SkulI and Keys" fraternity.
Trouble in the brotherhood has been
brewing for some time over the way its
business affairs should be conducted,
especially with reference TO the acquisition
of new members, and the elimination of
the difficulty resulted in split.
The society numbers about twenty-five
and is made up wholly of the members oil
the several Greek-letter traternities at the
university. They have long been looked
upon as the swell set OF Berkeley, and
their annual dramatic functions are largely
attended by members of the elite from
both sides of the bay. The organization
is local society ana was formed about
FIVE years ago. It is 10 Berkeley what the
skull and Bones" is to Yale and the
"Hasty Pudding" to Harvard.
Only juniors and seniors are eligible to
mem bership in the exclusive order, and
consequently only two or three members,
at most. are taken from the various Greek
letter orders. The resignation of the
three mentioned members is said to be
only beginning OF the trouble and that
the end to the difficulty in the brotherhood
is afar off

the Chinese flag which floats over the See
Yup headquarters on Clay street and
Waverly place. The fighting men who
guard the sacred bit of bunting are hidden
away on the roofs of adjoining buildings,
behind chimneys and Prevails.
They seldom show themselves, but
watch the actions of an expected intruder
with jealous eyes.
Every wave of the flag is slap of de-
iance at the Chinese Consul. and every
eye that watches it his secret enemy. Not
withstanding the fact that imperial de-
cree has ordered tie See Yup Company
to lay down the hatchet, the man who
would attempt to lower that flag would
be riddled with flying bullets.
Sergeants Price and Henderson, having
charge of the Chinatown squad, were in
formed yesterday afternoon that the rifle
men had taken their position TO defend
the flag and to defy the officers. The SER
geants Immediately sought the roofs OF
buildings adjoining the Lee Yup head
quarters in search of the would-be MUIR

town by All Wah on the evening of the
4th inst. and died few days later, was
buried in the Chinese cemetery yesterday
morning. His funeral was large one,
and was attended by most elaborate cere-
monies.
Private Detective f. III. Callundan was
arrested yesterday and charged with ma

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 16.-Sixty-two
Berkeley football men-almost six COM
plete teams-have taken out playing suits
this season, thus signifying their inten-
ton of trying for the Varsity eleven.
Over fifty of these men come out daily for
practice. This remarkable showing far
exceeds anything OF the kind in all the
history of football at the University of
California. Last year forty-eight suits in
2 aH were given out by the management.
Three years ago only half as many men
came out as are on the Berkeley gridiron
every afternoon this season.
Most notable among the previously un-
initiated is A. J. Molera '99, who is prob
ably the heaviest candidate for football

Coast gridiron. weighing 275 pounds

The Strike Still Being Prosecuted
With Unabated
Vigor.

The City evening papers came out yesterday
afternoon as usual and their wagons went up
and down the streets but not newsboy took q
copy. The small curbstone dealers collected
aroupd and good-naturedly guyed the drivers
but did not buy.
Occasionally a customer would brave the
wrath of the strikers and pay his nickel for a
copy, but the cry of "Scab, scab," would drive
the reckless purchaser around the corner.
Two delivery wagons. one driven by News
boy E. Dougherty and the other by Newsboy
Tap Williams, went around town with loads
of Oakland papers with which they supplied
the youngsters, checking back the unsold
copies.
siIf the evening papers came out like the
morning papers, we would take our copies say
about half-past or O'Clock, and take our
chances in selling them, because then we
said one Of the boys "But our customers
always want the last edition and we have to
get it as II comes out, so there. you are"
Tap Williams stated last night that COM
mittee of boys had visited the large clothing
houses, requesting theme to withdraw their
advertisements from the Post, Bulletin and
Report. and they had received much encour-
agement from the merchants.
The Hub and Raphaels readily promised to
do so, and the latter firm would do as they did

with torches, banners and transparencies.
A committee OF newsboys presented them
selves before the Labor Council last evening
and stated their grievances. They denied thai
the newsboys were in the habit of picking up
abandoned papers in restaurants and offices
late at night and checking them IN next
morning. They said that an offer had been
made to let the newsboys have four papers for
q nickel wi thout the privilege of checking
back. This, they said, would be satisfactory.
The answer OF the Labor Council was given
in the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the newsboys have the sympathy
of the San Francisco Labor Council in their
struggle to better their condition.

As he was cim bing the stairway he
heard two shots and accelerated his speed.
Once in the house he perceived young

up in bed, holding the blanket between
himself and son.
old man exclaimed: tom, don't shoot
again ~
Ripping out vile epithet the boy ex-
claimed: Didn't you feel that last bull

At this juncture the officer grabbed the
revolver and the boy at the same time and
herce struggle began, when Connolly S
wife, who was standing to one side Sob
bing, came to her sons assistance with
the exclamation, you shan't take boy
of mine out of here"
Then Connolly himself jumped out of
bed to help in overcoming the officer.
During the melee young Connelly's shirt
was torn off and he at once ran into side
room and cut by window onto a small
porch, whence he jumped to the ground
and ran up Twenty-fourth street.
After Heaphley had released himself
from the grip of the parents he went home
and changed his uniform for cirizen's s

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 16-The fore
closure suit of the California Safe De-
posit and Trust Company on a $500, 600
mortgage against the Highland Park and
Fruitvale Railway Company was up be-
fore Judge Ogden to-day and continued
until the 23d inst. on motion of the trust
company's attorney. who stated that it
was expected f. NJ. Smith would acquire
the road before that date.
Mr.. Smith is the heaviest stockholder
IN the Oakland Consolidated or Grove
street line to Berkeley and the lines to
West Oakland on Sixteenth and Eighth
streets, and it is believed he also controls
the Twelfth-street line TO the west end.
At present the system has no feeder to
East Oakland, but if he secures the High
land Park road it would give him an out
let to East Oakland over the Eleventh.
street bridge with the Alameda electric
line. The Eighth-street or Vandercook
line is in the hands of a receiver, and it is
said he has been negotiating for it also.
This would give him command of Eighth

The will of the oldest membe of tho
New York Fire Department, Casslear Hart
nett, who died in this city week ago, has
been filed for probate. For man of wealth
it is the most unpretentious document
that has been filed with the County Clerk
for long time.
The document is written on one sheet OF
paper, which bears DIR. Curtis letter head,
and was only made in June of last year,
although Mr.. Hartnett was then 81 years
of age. The deceased was opposed to max
ing his will, and could not be prevailed
upon 10 make it at an earlier date. He
decided all his property, real and personal,
to his wife, Mrs. Henrietta Hartnett, and
says that he purposely makes no mention
OF his only son, VINO is with the Contra

man may have made later will, as his
widow referred Yesterday to a will that
contained many references to details that
are not mentioned in the document filed
for PROBATE. The witnesses TO the filed
will are Alexander Hoenisch, +. U. Stokes
and David New berry.
Casslear Hartnett's property is all To-
Gated in New York State and provides a
comfortable income. He was one of the
members of the old Engine Company Is
of New York and made record for
bravery half century ago.
Mr. Hartnett came to California about
eight years ago in search of health. He
benefited by the changs, but his extreme
age and his active life were against re-
covery, and he never felt able to make a
trip back TO New YORK. His remains will
soon be sent East for interment.

1t Had Been Cut From It's Owners

ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 16.--A long,
black object, curled up with every appear
ance of snake, frightened Manuel, the
carcleaner at the narrow-gauge mole,
nearly out of bis wits this morning. While
sweeping out a car attached to last nights
Santa Cruz train he suddenly ran upon
the thing under a car seat. After he re-
covered from his first surprise he eau
tiously approached the supposed snake
and dealt it stinging blow with his
broomhandle on the part he supposed TO
be the head. As it did not move he rolled
it over and was surprised to find a China
mans queue.
The queue had the appearance of having
been cut off close to the owners head. 1t
is thought to have been the work of some
hunters who came in on that train.
