BRITISH CABINET MEETS.
SILVER QUESTION ONE OF THE
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED.
Believed That the Government Has
Decided Not to Enter Into a
Monetary Conference.

LONDON, Oct. 16-The British Cabi-
net this morning held its first autumn
meeting at the Foreign Office. Premier
Lord Salisbury presided, and ali the
Ministers except Lord James, Chan
cellor Duchy Of Lancaster, Viscount
Cross, Lord of the Priyy Seal, and Wal
Ter Long, President of the Board Of
Agriculture, were in attendance.
The meeting lasted two hours. 1t is
understood the question Of reopening
the Indian mints for the coinage OF
Silver was not decided, but the matter
was discussed, and viii shortly form
the subject of further communications
between the Chancellor Of the Ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, and
the United States Monetary Commits
sion.
In addition to discussing the silver
question, it is understood that the Cab
met Ministers were in deliberation over
the Anglo French situation in West At
rica and in reviewing the Cretan ar
rangements. In spite of the statement
that the question of the reopening of
the India Inints for the coinage of sill
Yer will form the subject of further
communications between the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer and the United
States Monetary Commission, it is be-
lieved that the British Government has
reached the decision not to enter into
any monetary conference. Further
meetings with the American Commits
sioners Will be held simply because they
were previously arranged, as cabled
last week.
In regard to India, it may be regard
ed as certain that the mints will not
be reopened at present or until the
Indian authorities are fully prepared.
Though the decision rests with Down
ing street, it is certain that the views
of Simla will prevail, and it is known
that the India authorities oppose the
step.
1t is understood that a statement will
be issued next week to the effect that
the British Government does not in
tend to suggest that the Bank of Eng
land should hold its reserve partly in
silver
Up to a late hour this evening the
United States Monetary Commission
ers had not received any communica-
ton from the British Government re-
garding the answer expected by Sena-
tor Wolcott and his colleagues to the
proposal made.

WEATHER FORECASTS.
Upward of 500 Cards Issued Daily
by Observer Barwick.

Several weeks ago notice was given
through the Record Union" that it
was the desire of Observer BarWick to
have the weather forecasts posted in
all business places in town. Since that
time the Observer has canvassed the
city as far as the grocery stores, drug
stores and meat markets are concerned
and he now reports that there is being
issued from his office daily Except on
holidays and Sundays) 505 forecast
cards Upward of 200 of these go out
side of the city to various towns
Mr.. Barwick has laid proposition
before the managers of the Sacramento
Electric, Gas and Railway Company in
which he hopes to be able TO have a
weather card on each street car daily
before or by noon. This can be done
by leaving twenty-five forecast cards
at the foot of Second street AS all
cars go to the passenger depot, it will
be an easy matter for the street car
agent TO hand forecast card to each
conductor to put on the Weather Bu-
reau bulletin board, which is always
furnished for holding forecast cards.
It is also Mr.. Barwick's intention to
try and have the forecast cards posted
in every hotel in all towns where the
mail arrives from Sacramento not later
than ; or 6 p. M. by which means he
hopes to be able to distribute at least
600 daily. and if this can be done it will
give Sacramento the reputation Of dis
tributing more weather forecast cards
than any other city of it's size in the
United States.
This has been made possible by the
hearty cooperation of the citizens of
Sacramento and surrounding towns in
nineteen different counties.
If any business house of any kind
has been overlooked by Mr.. Barwick
in his recent canvass of the city, all
the proprietors need do is to send him
their names and addresses and cards
will be mailed them daily after the re-
ceipt of the same.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
SENATOR MORGAN TALKS ON
ANNEXATION.
More Convinced Than Ever That
the Islands Should Become
Part of This Country.

HONOLULU, Oct. 7.-(Vfa San Fran
cisco, Oct. 16.)-Senator Morgan will
leave for San Francisco next Tuesday,
accompanied by his daughters. They
will go direct to Alabama, and after a
brief rest the Senator will leave for
Washington, hoping to arrive there
about the middle of November.
He states that while he has been
strongly convinced in his own mind
that the annexation of the islands was
the right thing, he is happy that his
visit to Honolulu has given him such a
fund of information that he can debate
with intelligence OF the question when
it comes up in the Senate this fall. He
says that his previous knowledge was
CLEANED from the islanders whom ne
had chanced TO meet, and from what
books he could get hold of. Now he
has been on the ground and ascertain
ed for himself the condition of things,
which viii have important bearing on
the debates that are to ensue. While
he was considered an authority on Ha-
waiian matters before his colleagues
his right 70 that position will be fully
recognized by all during the coming ses-
sion.
In speaking about the important
question OF citizenship. in case of an
nexation, he states that all citizens Of
Hawaii will be made citizens of the
United States. Those people, con-
tinued the Senator, who hold letters of
denization will not become invested
with American citizenship, Congress
VIII take some measure to give them
the full privileges.
Yes, the Portuguese, as we'll as all
other foreigners who are citizens OF
Hawaii al the time the islands are
taken in, viii become citizens of the
United States

by President Dole will take place on

A DEAL IN DRY GOODS.
Two Young Men Arrested for the
Theft of Some Cloth.

Police Captain Fisher last night ar
rested two young men for the theft Of
a large quantity of blue denim, such as
is used in making overalIS.
The stuff was taken from L. Elkus'
factory on Front street late yesterday
afternoon and sent in an express wagon
to the rear of c. P. Nathan's store on
J street and left in the yard. 1t was
discovered there by a member of the
firm, who supposed it had been left by
mistake, and word was sent for the
expressman to call and take it away. It
was not called for-so far as was known
in the store-but at o'clock the box
was found to be empty.
1t appears that in the meantime the
cloth had been sold and delivered to
Weinstock, Lubin & Co. by a young
man named +. NJ Hawkins, who repre-
sented that his father, who he said was
a merchant in San Francisco, had pur-
chased the goods at auction and wanted
to sell it He received a check for $S4 04
in favor of his alleged father and drawn
on the California Bank in San Francisco.
Subsequently, suspecting there might
be something wrong in the transaction,
Weinstock, Lubin & Co. summoned Cap
tain Fisher, and requested him to in
vestigate the matter. Captain Fisher
did SO and found that the check had
been given to F. NJ. Jones, proprietor of
a eyclery, in payment of bill for 81,
and that he returned the balance of the
amount in coin.
Hawkins then went to the store Of
Albert Elkus, at 91S street, and pur-
chased a new suit of clothes. Having
found that the cloth had been taken
From L. Elkus' factory, Captain Fisher
arrested Hawkins. He also arrested Ed
ward L. Elkus in connection with the
transaction.
The real value of the cloth is said to
be about $130.

STERNBERG's CASE.
State Prison Directors Will Rec
ommend a Communication.

At the meeting of the State Board
of Prison Directors at Folsom yester-
day the case of Louis Sternberg, who
was convicted Of having stuffed the
Great Register of San Francisco, was
taken up, and the Directors decided to
recommend that the Governor commute
his sentence to a term within the ex-
ecutive discretion.
While convinced that Sternberg was
guilty of the offense with which he was
charged, and that the sentence imposed
was not excessive, the Directors took
into consideration Sternberg's exem-
plary character since his incarceration,
and also the fact that he was confined
in the San Francisco County Jail sew
eral months before his trial. They de-
cided, therefore, to make the recon-
mendation for Communication.

Trustee Preston Re-
appointed.

The Trustees of the Preston School
of Industry, E. M. Preston OF Nevada
City. L. J. Maddux of Modesto and DR..
Fred D. Tyrren of this city, held Sc
cret conference with Governor Budd
in the latter's innermost sanctum yes
terday afternoon.
At frequent intervals within the past
few weeks DR.. O'Brien, Superintendent
of the institution, has been charged
with gross incompetency by his subor-
dinaIees. and has preferred counter
charges against them
Several days ago Secretary of State
L. II. Brown visited the school and on
his return reported that everything at
the institution was in a chaotic condi-
ton. and that the Superintendent and
the Trustees were at loggerheads, and
that the Trustees, even, were pulling
in different directions.
It was whispered before the meeting
that the Governor would indorse the
position taken by Trustee Preston by
reappointing him, and it was also mys-
ter'iously hinted that Trustees Tyrrell
and Maddux might shortly find them
selves without jobs, so far as the Pres
ton School Of Industry is concerned.
AS a matter of fact. Preston was re-
appointed. and his reappointment spread
upon the daybook in the outer office
within a half hour after the meeting
adjourned, and at the same time the
news leaked out that there would be
no change in either Superintendent or
Trustees for at least a month to come
DR.. TyrreH was seen by a Record
Union" reporter after the secret ses-
sion, but he refused to say word in
regard to what had been decided on
or whether anything had been definitely
settl2d.
Peter J. Shields, Private Secretary to
the Governor, was alsNseen. He stated
that the meeting would lead to a def
mite action by the Governor, but looked
mysterious when asked what the action
would be.
1t is understood, however. that the
Governor and Trustees agreed to give
superintendent O'Brien a chance to
straighten things out, and that in order
to do this he will be clothed with un-
limited power for the next month.
This would mean that the Superin-
tenlent will be allowed to lop off heads
at viii without consulting either the
Governor or the Trustees It is also
understood that another meeting will
! be held next month, and that the al
legged new arrangement will come UP
| for cansideration. but that in the mean
! time superintendent OiBrien will be
given a chance to weed out alleged NAL
contents.

A SEVERE CRITICISM.
AN INTERNATIONAL AUTHOR
ITY TALKS PIANO.
This Make Was Included in the
KohIer g. Chase Piano
Sale.

IF piano people desire to see what is
considered under the term original
we advise them to look at the several
new designs and styles of the Kinball
uprights. Look at them. They are
entirely outside Of the ordinary charac-
ter of piano case work. The finish is
simply exquisite.
Then look at the interior. The ordi
nary plate styles and furnishings are
supplanted by new features simply
startling.
Then try the pianos; test them Sc
verely. Go through the question of dip,
Of repeat, and of sympathy Of touch.
All these will be found delightful for
pianists, and the tone is rich, resonant
and refined.
There is no limit to the capacity of
the ". w Kimball company as piano
manufactures. Everyone will admit
that. The capacity runs in every direc-
ton. There is no limit to factory ca
pacity; no limit to the capacity to ab-
sorb every excellent idea in piano
structure; no limit to capital neces-
sary to get the greatest experts and
specialists. and no limit TO secure the
very finest material and put 1t to-
gether in the very best style. That all
must be admitted
The Kimball piano of the present day
must be viewed as one Of the greatest
successes in recent piano history.
Of course, with this plano, and the
millions behind 1t, and the brains and
the energy and the knowledgH OF the
business, and the condition OF the
piano trade to aid 1t, there is no diff

HIGH SCHOOLS VICTORIOUS.
The score stood IL to 10, with the
High Schools at the large end, and the
X-Rays trailing, when the ball game at
Snowflake Park was finished yesterday
afternoon.
much larger crowd attended than
at last Saturdays game, and as the fair
sex were admitted free Of charge, there
was nearly a hundred present. Al
though the score was large and the er-
rors many, not a single person was
seen to depart before the last man was
put out.
Yesterdays game was the first of the
matinee series, of three out of five, that
are to be played on Saturdays, and
yesterdays crowd was an excellent
starter. A short account Of the game
is given below.
In the first inning the school boys
made two runs and the X-Rays but
one In the next the High School as
sumed a great lead, scoring eight tai
lies. while the X-Rays were shut out.
This ended the extensive run getting
until the eighth inning, when the Stu
dents totaled up five and the men from
'Kripps'' three. Some of the notice
able features were the brilliant fielding
of Mcbride, Nethercott, Hall, and Crit
fin, for the High Schools, and that OF
Butler, Surgeson, and little Oschner for
the X-Rays. Both pitchers played their
positions well, but received poor sup
port. as the score will show The UNI
pires. Tim Shanahan and Ed. Hughes,
of the Gilt Edges, filed their difficult
positions admirably.
