FAR EASTERN QUESTION.
Great Britain's Fleet in Chinese
Waters Weak

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The newspapers
here comment on French, Russian and
German reinforcements going to the Far
East, while no corresponding addition
is made tc the British fleet, and says:
Happily, Great Britain has the coun-
tenance instead of hostility of the
United States, but the japanese navy is
factor of uncertain value"
An article in the Pail Mall Gazette"
says: The German fleet may be said
to hold the balance between England
and Japan and France and Russia. The
position of arbiter is the very thing the
Kaiser would desire, and with the force
he possesses in the Far East he can
dictate terms. If the position is really
critical, we run a grave risk in leaving
our fleet weak. In fact, we prepare for
an open contest by retrograde move
ments.'

warships on the Great Lakes has been
prohibited. He is urgent that the mod
ification be brought about by negotia-

Mr.. Smith is also looking into the status
of certain old Spanish claims, arising

empty honor.
Nor does the wealth of those rulers of

Philadelphia Times, though the ruler of
the biggest and richest empire the world
has ever seen, is by no means the richest
person on earth. In fact, her salary.
81 ,925, 900 a year, is one of the smallest
paid to any ruler on the globe. And of
the s., 925 900, all except $4S0,000 is spent by

MEN OF THE
90 CLUB
CHEER GAGE

The closing rally of the 'eS Republican
Club for this campaign was held last
night in Cadets Hall. 1886 McAllister
street. George d. o'NeiIl acted as chair
man in the absence of the president.
Many candidates were represented by
proxies, men who spoke not only for them
but for the entire Republican ticket.
Archie Campbell, the rising young attor-
ney was the first speaker. He read a
letter signed by the representative men
of the legal profession, recommending the
candidacy of A. B. Treadwell for Police
Judge. Mr.. Campbell also spoke for
Henry T. Gage for Governor and for
Charles L. Patton for Mayor.
Edgar Briggs championed the cause Of
John D. Siebe, Republican nominee for
Assessor.
James E. Fields commended Charles L..
Patton especially to the voters. He spoke
of him as capable, honest man from the
ground up. Every man on the Republic
can ticket, he said, was good and would
render good services to the people If
elected.
Clarence Gray acted as sponsor for j.
G. Edwards, candidate for State Board of
Equalization.
Alexander w. Mcpherson spoke strongly
for the Republican standard bearer and
ell the men on the ticket.
Henry T. Gage arrived late, but this did
not dampen the ardor. of the Republicans.
He remained with them a few minutes
and departed with cheers for his success
and for the success of Charles L. Patton
ringing in his ears.

tration. The Judge then explained MS
position In the Wallace Grand jury case
to the satisfaction of all.
John D. Siebe was then introduced ana
he made one of his characteristic
speeches, winning loud applause. Just at
the conclusion of Siebe's speech Charles
L. Patton entered the hall and then the
audience turned loose. The people arose
in their seats and cheered for the next
Mayor After quiet was restored Patton
took the platform and in few priet
words told the audience what the princi-
pies of the Republican platform are and
promised to serve the best interests or
the people If he were elected He dis
claimed all connection with corporate
power and clearly explained his views on
the labor question. The conclusion of Pat
toms speech won the candidate for the
Mayoralty another round of cheering and
good wishes.
Henry r. Gage followed Patton. and 1t
was some minutes after his entry before
he was permitted to begin speaking The
gubernatorial candidate said but few
words, but they were encouraging to the
Republicans gathered in the hall. He said
that he had canvassed the State and that
his only deduction from the state of af-
fairs was that the Republican ticket was
sure to win.

The few words spoken by Mr. Gage were
well received. He apologized for the brew
ity of his remarks by saying that he had
nine more meetings to attend during the
evening.
Attorney General w. f. Fitzgerald
nominee for City and County Attorney
was the next speaker. He met with
equally as warm a reception as was &C
corded the nominee for Governor. In the
course of his remarks he paid warm
tribute to C. 8. Laumeister, nominee for
Railroad Commissioner. His election to
the office he sought was assured. and
when he reached there the people would
be fairly dealt with by the railroad COM
pany. His record as Sheriff for four years
was such as to justify the people in again
placing him In office. The Republican
platform and the nominees placed before
the people by that party was without ex-
ception the best that was ever placed be-
fore any constituency. He felt assured Of
the election of the entire ticket. Gap

OVERFLOW
MEETING
FOR GAGE

The Republicans of the western portion
of the city turned out in such numbers
last night that the meeting in Langtry
Hall, 3206 California street, was an over
flow meeting and long before Mr. Gage ar
rived a larger hall had to be secured to
accommodate the crowd. Frank Powers
presided, and the first speaker of the
evening was Charles L. Patton, who, as
he entered, was greeted as the next
Mayor of the city. He spoke briefly and
to the point. He said he was in favor of
the confirmation of the new city charter
because the majority of the people were
In favor of it. He pledged himself, if
elected, to stand by the party platform,
and stated that he was not bound by any
corporate influence or the railroad
The arrival of Henry T. Gage at 10
o'clock was the signal for prolonged
cheering. The next Governor did not dis
cuss the issues of the campaign. He said
he had already done that in this city at
thirty meetings. He promised the people,
If elected, and he said that he would be,
to give them fair and impartial admins

GAGE HAS WON
THE MEN WHO
OPPOSED HIM

Henry It. Gage appeared In the Thirty
yeneck's Hall, corner of Twenty-fourth
and Church streets. Although the dis
trict is down on the maps as a Demo-
cratic one, this fact was not in evidence
when the standard bearer of Republican
principles entered the hall and assembled
the rostrum. He was greeted with ap-
plause. and many ladies in the audience
arose and joined in the hearty reception.
When the crowd ceased its cheering Mr..
Gage spoke as follows:
Mr.. President, ladies and gentlemen
This kindly reception / know is not &C.
corded to me because of personal feeling,
but it is manifested because / am the
representative of great principles-princi-
pies with which you are all familiar, and
which have necessitated this campaign
which we are Just closing.
1T did not come here to address you,
but to report to you that have visited
fifty of the fifty-seven counties of this
State, and that on the 9Th of November
the Republican party Will achieVe the
greatest victory that 1t has ever known.
The reasons for this are numerous. The
fusion party is arrayed against property
rights and against the rights of man. /
simply want to thank you for what you
have done for me and for what I know
you will do for me next Tuesday"
The speaker concluded with a pledge
that when elected he would conduct a
pure, business-like and economical adj
nninfstration, free from all railroad and
corporation influence, and that he would
be guided by desire to do right between
man and man, a1lotting to the poor and
humble that share of the wealth of
Republican liberty that is their due.

MANY VOTES
MAY BE LOST
BY REMOVALS

There seems to have been some misun-
derstanding of late concerning the right
of voters to change their residence prior
to election without FORGETTING their fran
chises Registrar Buggy stated some time
ago through The Call and other papers
that change of residence within thirty
days of election would disfranchise a
voter and he has constantly repeated this
statement to persons who have called at
the registration Office in quest ofainforma-
ton. Despite this effort to disseminate
the facts there seems TO have been many
voters who failed to comprehend the Reg
istrar's meaning and frequent changes OF
residences have taken place recently,
which would probably not have occurred
had the status of the case been under
stood.
As 1t now stands the Registrar believes
that about 1000 voters have technically
disfranchsed themselves through changes
of residence. He states, however, that
these voters WILL in most cases, probably
meet with little opposition at the polls. If
they swear in their votes. Others who are
perhaps as well versed In election laws as
Mr.. Buggy state positively that no man
loses his vote by a removal, as the law
holds that the legal residence remains in
the old precinct until a voter registers in
a new one. The question is vexatious
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-11-05

one and will perhaps give rise to entan-
clements
Yesterday the Registrar received sew
eral letters from citizens who had tempo
rarily changed their places of abode in the
city inquiring If they were thereby dis
franchised. To these Mr.. Buggy replied
that they would not lose their, votes as
temporary change did not imply perma-
nent change of residence, and that they
were entitled to vote in their home pre-
cinct.
In order to make his position clear in the
matter the Registrar has just had printed
large number of cards to be displayed
at the election booths, on which the fol-
lowing statements appear:
To Boards OF Election: Every elector duly
qualified whose name appears upon the pre-
cinct register, and who has continued to reside
within the exterior boundaries of such cleo
ton precinct to the day of election. is enti-
tied to vote. Every elector whose ap-
pears upon the precinct register and who has
moved his residence outside the exterior bound
aries of the election precinct is not entitled to
vote. The electors whose names appear upon
the precinct register having removed must
be carefully examined, and If found to still
reside within the election precinct allowed to
