Congressman Mcguire Tells Why
the Missouri Statesman
Is Favored.
WAS a CALIFORNIA PIONEER
During the Ear;y Days "Silver Dick
Sought Gold Up in Amador
County.

GREEN RIVER, WYo., July 3.-The
Utah and Idaho delegation joined US
Ogden. This is now thoroughly Demo-
cratic train in everything but its luxurious
appointments.
All who speak are for silver, and there is
a growing sentiment in favor of Bland for
President. Caminetti and 1 have been for
him from the beginning Rawlins OF
Utah, who served with US in the Fifty
third Congress, announced himself Tor
Bland also. He is the logical candidate.
For twenty years he has been the foremost
Democratic leader of the silver fight The
record of his work in Congress is in large
part the history of the free coinage move
ment. Why should not the issue and the
man whose name has become synonymous
with it be presented together?
1t is urged that he is not sufficiently
aristocratic in his appearance and habits.
/ admit that he would not cut as striking
a figure on dress parade or at gathering
of New York's 400 as some of his critics
would, but he is grand, honest, rugged,
broad minded, large-hearted man of the
people. He is typical Democrat in the
truest sense of the term.
In addition to all this he was Cali
fornia pioneer and has warm place in
his heart for our State and her people
NJ. Caminetti says:
Bland is my first choice, and will
support him in the delegation, but / will
vote for any silver Democrat that the
delegation may agree upon. 1t seems to
me that Bland is the ideal candidate at
this time. He is a man of the highest
personal character and the whole coun-
try knows his devotion to the silver cause.
Like yourself l am strongly influenced to
support Bland by my personal friendship
for him; but Independently of that
think him not only one of the best, but
also as the very strongest of the candi-
dates before the people. The fact that
Bland lived at Volcano in my county
(Amador) and was pioneer miner there
is not to be forgotten. Boies is my second
choice, and his silver record is undoubt-
edly satisfactory to the whole country.
His name would also be a silver plat
form"
Most of the other delegates are strong
for silver and will vote for it, but, as to
candidates they are non-committal. They
cannot, however, conceal the growing
feeling that Bland is the man of the
hour.
Harry Wise says: "I am in favor oi
nominating a strong, conservative man.
OF course [ want him to be a man who can
be relied upon to faithfully execute the
pledges of the platform. Ny present choice
among the prominent and available candi-
dates is Stevenson"
w. W. Foote will probably be elected
chairman of the delegation. An informal
understanding to that effect was reached
this morning. JAMES G. MAGUIRE.

KILLED ON a BoIsE FARM.
An EnspIoye ImpaIed on a Tine of
LHr1o Fork.

An Employe InpGIed on a Tine of a
Large Fork.
BOISE, IDAHO, July 3.-William Kern,
employed on the ranch of II. G. Wilson,
three miles from here, was to-day i'm
paled on tine of forty-pound fork used
by means of a derrick to hoist hay from
wagons to the top of stacks. The tine en-
tered just back of the lett shoulder blade,
near the heart. Kern lived about ten
minutes.
The accident was caused by the break
ing OF pulley attached to beam over
the stack. The heavy fork dropped bout
four feet before it struck Kern, who was
STOPPING over. The force of the blow
brought him to his knees. The men be-
low saw he was hurt, and hastily assembled
the stack to his assistance. Hurry up"
said Kern, as they approached.
When the tine, which had penetrated
the body almost a foot without protrud-
ing, was pulled out the internal flow OF
blood could be distinctly heard by those
standing near. The gurgling sound
lasted few seconds when Kern, in re-
sponse to suggestion that he be removed
from the stack, said: LET me rest a
minute" He sank, and in few moments
was dead.

JAMESTOWN. n. Y, July 3.-The
Celerton Theater was crowded to standing
room tonight to witness the glove contest
between Frank Moynihan of this city and
George A. La Blanche, THE Marine"
Both men weighed in at 154. Five
ounce gloves were used. In the first
round little was done. The second opened
with rush by Moynlhan, who tried his
right. La Blanche countered with his
left and avoided, but Moynihan rushed
him to the ropes, and after some stiff
short-range fighting knocked La Blanche
down with right-hand swing.
La Blanche got to his feet, though
groggy, in time to save himself, and Moy-
nihan allowed him to stay the round out.
La Blanche refused to fight at the call of
time, and Moynihan was awarded the
fight.

A Parade of Thousands of Cyclists
Opens the Midsummer
Carnival.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, July 3.-Crowds are
coming into the city to attend the water
carnival. For the first time in San Diego's
history a real, live queen will rule, and
she is a pretty one, too. Caroline Pol
hamus is her name on common occasions,
but during the carnival she will be called
her Majesty, and she will wear robes to-
morrow night worthy of her station. Her
barge will appear as of beaten gold, and it
will be illumjned on the water by hun
dreds OF colored electric lights, manu-
factured on board.
The young Queen will be attended by a
score of maids and youths, attired in the
court costume of old Versailles, and a
young page will WELD big peacock plume
fan to watt the plebeian irecracker smoke
from the face of the ruler.
The procession of pleasure craft, all
brilliantly lighted and decorated, viii be
over two miles long. 1t will wind upon
the CLASSY waters of the bay il spirals of
beautiful coIors.
Tonight the illumination bicycle lam
tern parade drew thousands out of doors.
Like all nights under San Diego skies, it
was balmy and full of the romance that
hangs over the land. Thousands of
wheels, adorned by Japanese lanterns,
flowers and flags, moved in procession

policemen and the Guard band of thirty
pieces, playing such patriotic airs as "The
Star Spangled Banner" Dixie" and
Yankee Doodle"
Girls as well as boys participated in the
parade. They were clad in red, white and
blue gowns, and they peda1ed upon won-
derful machines, appearing to be moving
bouquets and electric lights. All this was
accompanied by the bluster of bombs, the
swishing of rockets hurting toward the
empyrean, and the wall of the small boy
making his first acquaintance with the in
f1ammatory cracker.
All the streets are garbed as on fete
day in Southern France. The doors, win
dows and facades are draped with colors
and hung with lanterns.

Only Prominent Financier in the

Silver.
QUOTED ALL OVER THE WEST.
Suggested as an Acceptable Candidate
for President of the United
States.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 3.-The fol.
lowing statement was given out at the
Mercantile National Bank this afternoon:
william P. st. John has resigned the presi-
dency of the Mercantile National Bank. For
several years Mr.. st. John has outspokingly
advocated the free coinage of silver. Recently
the feeling in banking circles against bank
president advocating free silver has been mani
fest The matter was brought 10 an issue this
morning at meeting of the board by his
reading letter from one of the directors, Of
which the following is an extract:
''DeGr Mr.. st. John: L have just heard that you
intend to take part in the Silver Convention at
Chicago. You under obligations not to do
so, is my belief. 1 admit that the posi-
tion you hold gives you power before conven-
ton, but you ought not to go when you know
your board is against your views, as we'll as all
money-cen ters. am your friend."
Mr.. St. John was recently requested by reso-
luton at mass-meeting held in this city to
attend the National Democratic Convention
and urge the incorporation of certain pream-
bles and demands into the platform of the Ma
tional Democracy. The first of these demands
is independent and unlimited free coinage of
silver at 16 to /.
Mr.. st. John resigned his Office of president
of the Mercantile National Bank because a
majority of his directors thought his COM
pllance with that request would be harmful to
the bank. The board accepted his resignation
with unanimous expression of regret.
The Mercantile National Bank is at 191
Broadway, and is one OF the best known banks
in the city. Mr.. st. John has been especially
noted as practically the only fnancier of
prominence in the East who openly favored
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
He was the only free silver New York City
bank president, and as such his sayings and
writings have been quoted all over the West.
A few months ago Denver newspaper sug-
gested him acceptable free silver can
didate for President of the United States

with the seasons salmon pack, and threat
ems much trouble for police authorities
here. The steamer Chieftain is now on
the Sound seeking men to take the place
of the strikers, as fish are running well at
Rivers Inlet, and every day lost means
great expense to tt e cannerv men.
Last year the Gamers at the inlet paid
cents per fish to the Skeena fishermen
and this they were paying this year, but
cents a fish has been unsatisfactory to
the fisherman since the big strike on the
Skeena declared a month or so ago and
they now demand a 10-cent rate. The
are 1900 strikers, of whom two thirds are
Indians, the others being mixed ella IS of
whites They went on strike two weeks
ago and since then fishing operations
have been suspended.
The strike is supposed to have been
brought about at the instigation of some
of the Columbia River or Skeena River
agitators.
After it was declared 8 mum Der of Nor
wegian colonists at Bella Cola were en-
fish than they received threatening noti-
fcation from an Indian chief to desist,
which they complied with.
The Indians packed their effects last
Monday, and manning their canoes left
port in fleet of over 100 sails. No one
knows exactly where they are destined,
but those familiar with their ways believe
this move is but 'bluff."
They are likely to be gathered in some
secluded bay or inlet, considering plan
of action, and trouble is expected.
