THE FUSIONISTS.
Hold a Big Political Rally at San
Fraucisc0.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-There
was a big political rally at the Me-
chanics' Pavilion tonight, under the
auspices of the Union Campaign Com
mittee James G. Mcguire, Senator
White, Governor Budd, Mayor Phelan
and many other representatives of the
Democratic, Peoples and Silver Re-
publican parties were among the
speakers.
Early in the evening a salute of fifty
guns was fired, bonfires were lighted
and much enthusiasm was manifested
among the Democrats assembled on
the streets. A procession headed by
the uniformed corps of the Central
Democratic Club marched out Market
street to the Pavilion, which was
packed in every part with people anx-
ious to hear the candidates of the fu-
sion party.
Mayor Phelan delivered a vigorous
address, recapitulating the history OF
his administration of the Mayors Of
flee. His remarks were well received
and frequently applauded. Senator
White made a strong appeal in behalf
of the State ticket, and dwelt on the
Importance of returning Democratic
Congressman. Franklin Lane, candi-
date for City and County Attorney,
urged unity in support of the entire
ticket.
It was nearly midnight before Judge
Mcguire arrived, having reached the
city from his tour of the interior by a
special train. He was given hearty
welcome, and his brief speech was
loudly cheered. He predicted success
for the Democracy at the polls.

WAR PREPARATIONS.
British Warships Up North Await
ing Sailing Orders.

VICTORIA, Nov. 4.-Last night 100
men arrived over the Canadian Pac1hc
for the sloop of war Icarus, and that
vessel. which has been ref1tted, was put
into commission to-day.
The flagship Imperieuse has been
provisioned, and has taken aboard the
limit of her supply of ammunition. All
her bunkers are full to the utmost ca
pacity of coal, and she is under steam
night and day, ready to obey the first
order.
News received tonight is considered
by those in command to be the most
important which has yet reached here,
and although preserving the usual nom
committal attitude of the British Off
GERS, those in command do not attempt
any denial of the assertion that crisis
has been reached which is the gravest
in the history of the empire in many
years.
There is considerable speculation as
to the destination of the Amphlon
which left here a few days ago under
sealed orders. The opinion that she was
headed for the French settlement at the
Society Islands is giving way 10 the
idea that she may have been ordered
to the China coast, although there
seems but little foundation for any
change of the first impression.
The Leander will be ready for serV-
ice in a. few hours, and the. torpedo boat
destroyer Virago is to be commissioned
at once. The Sparrow Hawk, another
destroyer, is coaled and provisioned.
When the steamer Riojun Maru
docked here this morning her officers
were assailed with questions as to the
conditions of affairs on the China coast.
Captain Elliott says the interest in
Manila happenings has now given way
to the possibility of war between Great
Britain and some other European
Power. Five thousand men were re-

cides to Resist the Demands of
the Strikers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-After de-
manding an increase of wages, which
was not granted, the San Francisco
newspaper pressmen to-day declared a
strike. The men employed on the
Post and Bulletin" declined to quit
work, but the pressmen on the Re
port" walked out, and for a time it
looked as though the strikers might
win at least a partial victory.
All the newspaper proprietors, how
ever, acted in concert and the Post"
and Bulletin" We're not issued until
the Report was printed. This was
made possible by the Bulletin" cast
ing the stereotype plates of its pages,
which were run off on one Of the "EX-
aminer's" presses. None of the even
ing papers sent out early editions, but
all appeared simultaneously at about g
o'clock.
1t is understood that "ChrOnicle"
pressmen will continue at work, and
that a number of the Call" and "Ex-
aminer" forces will refuse to obey the
order to strike, so that the morning
papers will not be seriously embar-
raSSed.
The dissatisfied pressmen have sub
mitted a schedule of wages which, if
accepted by their employers, would in
crease the expenses of the offices by
about $4,000. They demand S4 day
for pressmen and 1926 for helpers, in
stead of SIS week for pressmen and
$12 to $15 week for helpers the rates
now paid. The rates for foremen and
assistant foremen now vary from $40
to $50 week. About seventy-five men

The Publishers Association, compos-
ed of the proprietors of all the dailies
in the city, has decided to resist the
demand of the strikers, and it is assert
ed that the papers will appear as usual
tomorrow.
STEREOTYPERS JOIN THE PRESS
MEN.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. s. At
a. M. the morning papers indicated
that the strike was far from being
ended, although enough men were at
work to insure the appearance of the
Call Chronicle" and Examiner" "
The stereotypers had come into the
contest, and the majority of them re-
fused to work, going out on a sympa-
thetic strike with the pressmen A
few men, however remained on duty
at each office, sufficient to insure the
issuance of the papers, though the
amount of news matter published will
be somewhat curtailed.
The strikers congregated on the side
walks, but were kept in check by a
force of police. 1t is not thought that
they will do physical harm to the men
who refused to go out but the news
paper proprietors are determined to
protect those who have remained at
their posts
1t is recognized that the struggle
will be severe, but the publishers are
confident that they will win, even if
it becomes necessary to reduce the size
of their papers or suspend publication
entirely This, however, is not likely
to be done.

rounds. and was one of the fastest

Rubin lowered high over Joe's head,
and there was a difference of between
twenty-five and thirty pounds in favor
of the Akron fighter. He forced the
fighting from beginning to end,
Choynski sprinting repeatedly around
the ring in his efforts to get out of
the way.
Toward the close of the first round
Joe steadied himself for the first and
only time, and landed several hard
rights and lefts on Ruhlin's face. One
of the blows broke Joe's right fore
finger.
In the early part of the second round

lin The Ohio man forced Joe all over
the ring for the next three rounds, and
the San Franciscan was shaken at the
termination of it, falling down sew
eral times to evade Ruhlin's rushes.
Rubin fouled number of times in
the cinches, but it was due to the
heat of the encounter. Both men eased
up in the final round, which was un-
eventful.
CANS GIVEN THE DECISION
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Joe Cans was
tonight awarded the decision over
Kid Mcfarland in a twenty five
round bout before the Lenox Athletic
Club Mcfarland was favorite i'll
the betting over the Maryland boy.
Both boxers had weighed in at )
o'clock, neither turning the scales at
1873 pounds, and their trainers claimed
that both men We're in the pink of
condition.
The men put up a beautiful fight,
both landing freely and fiercely. By
the ninth round Cans success in land
ing his left swings on the head sent
his stock up. Mcfarland began to
get bit wild in his work, but the
colored boy kept his temper and his
wind. and kept planting telling blows
on his opponents face. When the gong
sounded at the end of the twenty fifth
round. however, Mac still had plenty
of fight in him.
The preliminary bout between Billy
Needham of st. Paul and Johnny Mar
shall, an Australian negro, was sched-
uled for ten rounds at 1876 pounds, but
the Antipodean was a few points under
the limit. Needham cut out the pace
from the start, and sent his left to
the face and right to the body, while
the negro did little work with his
left. which he chopped on the face and
neck. Marshall was bleeding from the
nose at the close of the eighth round
Marshall was the aggressor in the
final round, but Needham countered
cleverly. Marshall landed hard left
swing on the face toward the end of
the bout. but Needham had the call
at the finish Referee Charley White,
however, declared Marshall the winner.
