election supplies very neatly yesterday.
He went TO the city strictly incogn.to
supplies which were offered to him as a
private individual at about 40 per cent less

ton. While he was bargaining for the
supplies at the reduced rate the dealers
were keeping a strict watch for one CLERK
Harbourne" Of Alameda, who they had
been told was IN he market for supplies
and for whose benefit the prices were to
be raised. But they had the name wrong,
and 1t was not until the bargain had been
closed at the lower price that they learned
the identity of the purchaser.

are quite confident that he will be honored
with some prominent position by the admins
ration.
All Alameda wheelmen are on the qui vive
for the great relas race of tomorrow, and a
big turnout of home and foreign bieyclers Is
expected.
Company G, N. G. c., will have its monthly

Many Records Made at the Annual

Surpassed by Berkeley Men.

BERKELEY, CAL, April 3.-The rec
ords made at the Oxford Cambridge field
day yesterday are being discussed with
much enthusiasm by the students at
Berkeley. A com mparison of the results
with the performance OF California men
shows that the records made in a major.

surpass, those established at the State

Patterson of Berkeley is feet III inches.
The i6-pound hammer threw was won by
Cambridge at 81 ieet 90 inches. EGgren's
record for California is 1877 feet 10 incnes, and
there are several others who can surpass it.
In the mile run, 44o-yard run and broad
jump the Englishmen made better records
than those of Berkeley. A Cambridge man
did the mile in Ago. Berkeley's lowest

SENATOR HANNA.
what Leading Papers Say Of His Candidacy

The best credentials Senator Hanna has
are that the Cincinnati Enquirer is OPP
posed to him. Such opposition should
render him dear to the honest man.-Day-
ton Journal.
When the people have elected men to
do a particular thing. they are jealous of
the outcome of their commission. If any
man elected by the people to do a par
ticular thing fails in his mission. so much
the worse for him.-Cleveland World.
The systematic efforts that are being
made in certain quarters to develop an
anti-Hanna movement in the Republican
party in Ohio is highly discreditable to
those engaged in it. whether viewed from
the standpoint of party fealty or from the
broader standpoint of common decency
and fairness.-Chicago Times-Herald
The yarn that Governor Bushnell would
accept, and was even scheming to secure
the senatorship for himself, by means of
combination nine parts Democratic and
one part anti-Hanna Republican seems
to have been abandoned. That was found
to be too rank for the credulity of even
the present excited buckeye era.-Wash-
ington Star.
There is the highest need for such men
as Mr.. Hanna in the Senate. and the ac-
ton of the governor in appointing him
already approved by the state convention
should now be endorsed by the people
The Republicans Of Ohio must not be
ton must not be disappointed-the Repub-
licans of the Senate must not be disap-
pointed.-Senator Foraker in campaign of
1897.
Representatives who are willing for any
reason to join forces with the enemy are
wholly unworthy of party or public con-
fidence. They demoralize their party or
ganization. on which 1t must depend for
success. and help as far as they can to
rob the public of the services of the man
who can be of most service to it. If they
are controlled by the baser reason, and
give their vote. Judas-like. for the money
paid for 1t. there is no disgrace too deep
to cover them. Parties will never secure
or deserve the confidence they ought to
command until they expose and expel
members in whom they may have thus
mistakenly reposed confidence.-Takoma
Ledger.
The truth of this matter is that the
persons engaged in the conspiracy to de-
feat the overwhelming preference of the
ONO Republicans. and rob Mr.. Hanna
of the legitimate fruits of his victory. are
beginning to feel doubtful as to their sue
cess, and uneasy as to the consequences
to themselves of their very questionable
plot. If they saw their way clear before
them, and were assured that no odium
would attach to them on account of their
activity in the premises. Mr.. Kurtz would
not have repudiated his interview. but
would. on the contrary. have reaffirmed 1t
with every pride and emphasis. The an
nouncement has not. however. met with
the reception he anticipated. That is all.

Henry George may not have placed
implicit confidence in the opinion of his
physicians, few of us do, but he must
have been deeply impressed by what
they told him and his subsequent re-
marks bearing on his health indicated
beyond question that he felt he was
campaign. Here is what one of his
physicians has to say of the conversa-
tion that passed between him and
George and in the light of which the
grand courage of that noble hearted
though somewhat visionary man may
be seen and appreciated: Tell me, if
I accept, what is the worst that is
likely to happen to me? asked Mr..
George. I replied: Since you ask me,
you have a right to be told-most prob
ably 1t will be fatal He then said:
You mean that it win kill me-?
answered: Most probably, yes He
said: DR. Kelly says the same thing,
only more positively; he says it will
certainly kill me; but have got to die.
and how can die better than serving
humanity? Besides, my dying would
do more for the cause than anything 7
might be able to do in the rest of my
hfe.' When Mr.. George accepted the
nomination rendered him at the great
meeting in the hall Of the Cooper
Union. he said: From now on until
election. am yours even though it
Kills me-. And in nearly all his
speeches, he showed he knew his deatl,
wasAat hand, and was fearlessly facin:
u for the goodsof mankind.

there have been no reports Of any con

publications, in any quarterly or
monthly or weekly or daily publication.
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe stopped
public execution, but it is stfll sure
death to Moslem in Turkey to say
openly that the Gospels are superior to
the Koran"
To Dr. Andrews statement that Mos
lens drink no intoxicants DR.. Hamlin
says among other things, giving his
evidence, Every resident in the cities
knows the alarming fact Of increasing
Moslem intemperance."
Browns president concluded the
Turks are the nobler race. Dr. HAM
lin admits: LAS the ruling race, wear
ing all the high official costumes and
living upon the labor of five millions OF
rajahs, Armenian, Greek and Jewish,
they naturally have that appearance
of superiority which leisure. pride,
wealth, station and conscious power
give. But what of their character and
course in history" He then cites
enough of history to demonstrate that
their achievements at least are not
very noble. "At the time President
Andrews was imbibng his notions of
the higher nobility and morality of the
Turks they had slaughtered at least
one hundred thousand Of their un-
armed and peaceful Christian subjects
because they would not deny their
faith and profess Islam.'
III is also emphatically denied by the
distinguished missionary that the Ar
men.ans exasperated the Turks. On
the contrary the Turks have exasper-
ated them, and the awful results GER
tlinly indicate as much. DR.. Hamlin
also denies with equal emphasis the
charge that the Armenians are un-
mitigated cheats and deceivers. He
admits that IAN oppressed people al
ways develop a certain amount Of de-
fensive cunning" But he is able from
out his long association with them to
assert that they are when treated
we'll an honest, Industrious and faith
full people" When they had had op-
portunity to victimize him they had
not done so.
President Andrews must not ridicule
such a people. He fears we think too
highly of their Christianity Well,they
can die for it. One hundred thousand
have been slain, another hundred thou
sand have died lingering deaths in
want and misery indescribable, and
unknown thousands have perished in
filthy prisons, not accepting deliver
ance,' and thousands are still suffering
in the patience of God. No Bashi
Bazouk has been called to the work of
plunder, outrage and blood. The regu-
lar Turkish soldiery and the Koordish
and Circassian mob have done it all,
under the direction of officers. The
Sultan is responsible for the whole and
it is his work. He would extinguish
Christianity and establish Islam"

Tammany charity resembles that OF
the old-time brigand who occasionally
set apart a portion of his booty for the
salvation of his soul.
There is a difference. however. The
brigand thought he had a soul TO save
and wished to neutralize some of his
sins; Tammany knows it has no soul
to save. does not wish to lose a single
sin, but in Difference to a popular whim
is willing to buy cloak for the pur-
pose of covering some of them.
