FACTIONS AND AUCTIONS.

K little surprise was felt throughout San Fran
 NJ cisco by the announcement made yesterday that the gentlemen appointed by the Democratic State Committee to investigate the condition of the party in this city had reached the conclusion that neither of the contendng factions claiming to be the regular Democratic City and County Committee had any virtue or validity in it. The conclusion was re- cognized to be right enough, but the wonder was great that the members of the State Committee had sense enough to reach 1t.
 Discounted, divided, disorganized and demoral- zed the shattered fragments of Democracy have been whirling around the vacuum where the head and the double tail of 1t went down in 1896. Many wild eddy has been caused in different parts of the Union as result of the whirling but among them all there is other eddy like that which swirs in this city. Here is confusion worse confounded and demoral- zaton reduced to old chaos and pure cussedness. Here are Phelans, Sullivans, Raineys, Buckleys, Maguires Harneys, Peppers, McNabs and Patsy Bolivars stirling around in maddening mazes lost, with endless combinations made and broken, to the utter bewilderment of the behoder.
 It is surprising that the State Committee arbitrators, themselves involved in the general Democratic fusion, could have accurately diagnosed the dis order around them. Possibly they did not diagnose at all It may be they desired to have city faction of their own, and pronounced all existing city factions 
 they put up faction of their and started new ruction There three Democratic conn mittees in this city and county and the campaign is still young. It is veritabe devils barber-shop of party-the call is next but no man knoweth what is coming next
 Senator White will not be candidate for re- election Governor Budd will neither be a candidate for second term in his present office seek the Senatorshp. Mr. Gould, satisfied with hi- place as trustee of lunatic asylum, where he has managed to get snug places for his relatives, will not run for anything unless the governorship should be forced upon him. The rats leaving the sinking ship, and no one stays with it but the pirates who believe there still some poodle left in the old hulk and are hope ful of their ability to swim ashore with the plunder when the wreck sinks.
 Thus the fracas goes with noise enough The State Democracy has devoured county Dem ocracy but the end is not yet Perhaps ere long national committee will devour the State organization and then be in its turn swallowed by fusion com mttee and the whole thing disappear into the vor tex of Populism and nothingness.

THE MALIGNANT MAGUIRE

That the shafts of The Call have been sufficiently sharp and penetrating to pierce the thick skin of Congressman Mcguire is made evident by the letter from him which we publish this morn ing. The missing discharge of his bit terest venom shows that he has felt the keen point of the criticisms on his course and writhes under it.
 MT. Mcguire doubtless thought that his letter would be thrown by us into the waste basket. He will be disap- pointed when he sees it this morning, and his friends will regret that he wrote it. The Call is a newspaper that never suppresses either events or documents of current interest. and this letter is certainly interesting. It clearly reveals what manner of man the writer is, and it is we'll that the pubic should have that knowledge.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

D reason of the intense interest felt in the pre- h paratons for the invasion of Manila and in the AO maneuvering of the hostile fleets in the West Indies the people have but little attention to give the proceedings of Congress. In fact, if the two houses would arrange for prompt enactment of the revenue bill the country would then be well sat isfed to see an immediate adjournment, leaving all other issues to be dealt with at the coming winter session.
 While waiting for the solution of the con toversy however both houses have been transacting or less business and have even ventured by way of pastme probably to put forward two propositions for amending the constitution. The House proposes an amendment which will provide for the election of Senators by direct vote of the people, and the Senate proposes fixing the date of future inauguratons on May instead of March 4
 Each of these proposals has been before the public in one form another for long tirne and has con siderable support among the people Neither of them however is all likely to be pushed to settlement at this time. The amendment changing the system of eectng Senators would certainly precipitate fierce contest with the conservative element of the people, and party would to upon such conflict at this juncture.
 The proposed change in the time of inaugurating the President is which ought to receive general support. The beginning of March is an unfit time for carrying out the ceremony of installing a new occupant of the White House and for making new departure in the administration of the Government Even this measure however will be confronted by SO much conservative opposition 1t is not likely to make any progress at this session.
 Had both houses devoted their energies to single one of the two propositions perhaps something might have been accomplished in the direction of procuring its enactment. As, however, the Senate has made one proposal while the House has made the other, neither of them be considered much more than side issue The statesmen of the two houses evidently regard constitutional amendment debates very good and safe of killing time, and each is sufficiently considerate of the other not to venture upon its and not to any of its ammunition.

Government Now Ready to Furnish
Entire Army With Repeaters.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Secretary AL
ger, after a conference today with Ad-
jutant General Corbin and Major Sha-
Ter Of the ordinance bureau. stated that
operations at the United States
armories have progressed with
the manufacture Of the K~rag-Jorgen-
sen rifles to a point where he could
undertake to arm the entire army with
this weapon. At the outbreak of the war
regular soldiers had the small bore ri
file and the volunteers were necessarily
armed with the Springfield, except in
a few cases. such as the rough riders.
The armories have been running stead
lily v since, turning out the small
bore rife at a rate Of 5000 per month.
until the stock on hand warrants the
undertaking which the secretary has
ordered. AS fast as the guns can be
packed and sent forward, the Spring
fields in the hands Of the soldiers will
be retired and turned into the ~arsenals.

Arrest of a Mar Charged With Stealing
$40. 900.

Topeka. Kan. Nov. 15.-United
States Marshal Sterne has received a
telegram from Albuquerque. N. NJ. no.
tifying him of the arrest of II. B. Eek
ham. formerly of the firm of Nadeau &
Co., Kansas. who is wanted for the al
legged ENLIGHTENMENT of $4,000. 1t is
alleged that Eckham, before disappear
ing some time ago, borrowed s., 200
each from four Kansas City bankers to
use. as he said, in making change and
cashing checks for the Indians. He next
visited several Indian reservations and
secured SIG. 900 in government checks,
which he exchanged for bills of large

A prominent official was questioned
at the Spanish war Office today on the

Madrid, Nov. 15.-The impartial to-
day, commenting upon the loan which
Don Carlos, the pretender to SPANS
throne. is said to have raised in Lon
doin, says:
Evidently the English are abetting
an outbreak of a civil war in Spain,
with the object of securing additional
territory in Gibraltar. The Americans
employed the same methods to become
masters of Cuba"
The Catalonian delegation. which in
conjunction with delegations represent

WAR TALK CAUSES ALARM.

London, Nov. 16.-The rumors cir
culated here that the American fleet
RAJ on the poinl of starting for Europe
caused great excitement in commercial
circles. The Daily Graphic says this
morning:
THE Spanish Transatlantic fleet
has been ordered to prepare for a re-
newal Of hostilities. and the forts in
the Canary islands are being rapidly
manned"
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Daily Mail says:
"A leading Carlist tells me he will
be astonished IL a formidable rising
does not occur in Spain within one
month after the peace treaty is signed.
The Carlists have abundant supplies
of money and. my informant says. only
something big and unexpected can pre-
vent a rising"
This appears TO agree with the news
that Don Carlos has succeeded in rails
ing an important losu in London and

and port engines have been forced up
wards from one and a half to two feet
and separated laterally by from six to
eight inches.
The best way to illustrate the gen
eral condition of the wreck is to say
that the two sets of engines, boilers
and their foundations form part of the
reef itself, around which the remain
der of the ship works literally and YER
tically.
The same effect would be produced,
in my opinion. if the ship had settled
on a pinnacle of rock.
Sunday the trade wind was light and
there was little difficulty in approach
ing the wreck from the Vulcan. but
communication with the shore would
have been difficult in a boat at one
stage Of the tide. | can best describe
the condition of the ship generally by
stating that she is already telescoped.
and my view. by expressing the convic-
ton that as rivets are sheared by the
constant working of the ship, the tele-
scopic process must continue.
In considering the practicability OF
rescuing the Teresa, the fact must be
considered hat she lies upon a coral
reef. with only a thin layer of sand. on
the windward side of an island. con-
stantly exposed to seas due to trade
winds and to the influence Of many
storms developing to eastward or
southwark. The character of the bot
tom makes an anchorage off the east
ern coast of the island dangerous.
Geographical position permits a
force of more OF less magnitude to be
constantly disintegrating the ship. Dur
ing gales or with heavy seas the wreck
would not be tenable for working par
ties, which would be obliged to leave
the ship before communication should
be cut off. with the ship anchored out
side or with the shore inside.
The board Of officers also examined
and reported yesterday upon the ques-
ton OF rescuing the Teresa. This board
confirms my report. Should the depart
ment determine to loaf the stranded
ship | would recommend that an expe-
dition be based on Cat Island. not far
from the ships outside reef. and |
should be pleased to command any or
ganization prepared to work on the
wreck.
In addition to turret guns, there are
four six-inch guns on the Teresa, taken
from one of the wrecked ships. Await
ing further orders. MCALLA.

thought he could take control of the
office if it was desired. but he did not
remain"
Resuming his remarks of a general
character General Breckenridge ex-
pressed the opinion that there had not
been enough fighting to obscure other
results commo to war. He Thought
that the evils when had been expert
enced were inevitable under our Ameri-
can system. He condemned this system
as most rep%rehensible and said the vol
unteer soldier must always suffer the
worst Of the consequences.
IF the regular stands up under it bet
ter than the volunteer, 1t is only be-
cause he has had time to adjust himself
to the unfavorable conditions He
traced all the trouble to the want of
preparation and mobilization in time
of peace, and THAT, in turn. to the fail
ure Of congress to appropriate the
necessary money for reforms. Reply
ing to a question from Mr.. Woodbury..
he said that considering the system he
thought the government had done far
better in the conduct of the war than
fourth as well as 1t should have done
it."
General McCook asked General
Breckenridge if he had visited General
Shafter in his ent when the latter was
i'll at Santiago, and General Breckin-
ridge replied that he had done so.
Did he then offer the command of
the army to you as has been reported
in the press?"
General Breckenridge replied: II
very much prefer not to answer that
question. You should ask General
Shafter. Such a conversation as oc-
Cured between General Shafter and
myself on that occasion is not of a
character to be spoken of lightly. | fail
to see how a reply from me would pro-
mote the object of your inquiry. You
want to know what General Shafter
did, not what he thought of doing. If
General Sllafter has not repeated the
conversation | ought O to do So"
As a matter of fact he did not turn
the command over to you?" suggested
Governor Beaver. to which General
Breckenridge responded: mo, he did
not, and | do not think there is any
improperly in my saying thar he could
not have done So"
With this the matter was allowed %
drop and General Breckenridge was ex-
cused.
