NEW CAUCUS LAW.

1t is not generally known that the
election officials for all the caucuses
must be appointed before Feb. LIST under
the caucus law which was passed by
the last legislature and which has been
in force for some months. The law is
written up in such complicated and
ambiguous style that it has tloored
many attorneys as to its exact mean,
ing, and attorneys from all over th,,
state are writing the attorney genera
to ind out just how much OF the lao
applies to their own counties.
Sections three and four are the one
which evidently apply only to Mil
waukee county. Section five reads
There shall be appointed annually,
on or before the first day of Feb
ruary of each year, by the county or
city committee, three electors OF
each town, village and wald, for
each caucus district, who shall act
as inspectors at every caucus held
therein OF the political party for
which he acts, and elector so ap
pointed shall, before entering upo.

pointed, that he will faithfully, hon

ton to be held at such caucus, pro-
tect it against all fraud and unfair

OF this act. Such oath or atfilma-
ton shall be filed with the county

MOLTkE OF TODAY.

vi Inc three great men who helped
TO rear the German empire only on. ia
now alive. Wilhelm has eventually
succeeded his grandfather. Who has
succeeded Moltke? Few persons in this
country, we believe, could answer the
question, says London Black and
White Yet every German who stud
les IN Brockhaus must know, and
at the outbreak of the next German
war the entire world would know
that it is the Graf Won Waldersee.
General oberst der Kavallerie," the
latter title being without an exact
English equivalent, but it may be In
terpreted as general-in-chief of the
cavalry. After a long and brilliant
service dating back to 1850, Count Won
W&ldersee was, On the accession of the
present emperor, appointed to fill the
place of the late renowned strategist.
The key to unlock his lips is the
magic word "Moltke." Talk of him
and you will draw from the count his
admiration for the memory and illus
trious talent of his chief and teacher
OF the art Of war. Modest as he is of
his own achievements, the counts
face lights UP with proud smile as
he tells you how Moltke appreciated
his strategical ability and specially
prepared him to succeed to his ap-
pointment His acknowledge ent of
what he owes to the military skill OF
Prince Charles, to whom he was ad-
iutant in 1865, is equally unstinted;
while there is little doubt, though he
would be the last to tell you, that the
present excellence OF the German cav
airy is greatly due to his own efforts
as commander of this particular
branch of the service ever since the
Franco German war.
During the war, besides helping to
| mobilize the troops he was appointed
chief of the staff of the governor OF
Paris, and in this capacity he was
deputed on the highly important and
delicate mission of demanding the
first installment OF the war indemnity.
His personal account of how this was
accomplished is highly graphic At
his back Moltke was ready with his
cannon to open fire at the least
symptom OF evasion or delay. And
/ yet everything had to be arranged
with politeness and sangfroid. When
he finally emerged from the meeting
with the French plenipotentiarfes
with cheque for 10000, 900 fraacs in
his pocket, he describes how ne felt
weight off his mind as he realized
that no further blood need be shed,

posed upon its owner the obligation
Oh furnishing provisions and supplies
to the newcomers, and in 1S47 prompt
ed him, in anticipation of the rush
of settlers from the east that it was
expected would follow the cession of
California to the United States, to be-
gin the erection of flour mill to
grind the wheat which he cultivated
in considerable quantity. To get the
lumber for it he determined to build a
sawmill also.
The site selected for the proposed
sawmill by James w. Marshall, a wan
dering wheelright from New Jersey,
who had drifted from the east to
Oregon and then to Califorri
he entered Suffers service, was in the
small valley of the Coloma, 45 miles
from Suffers fort. Excellent water
power was to be had in the valley
and yellow pine timber abounded in
the nearby hills, Suffer left the plans
and construction of the mill to Mar
shall, and in August, 1S47, the two
signed an agreement of partnership,
under which Suffer was to furnish
money, men, tools and teams, and
Marshall was to supply the skill for
building and managing.
About this time a number of Nor
mons arrived at New Helvetia and
asked for employment. They had be-
longed to the Mormon battalion, which
after enlisting in Nebraska for one
year, marching to the Pacific by way
TO the ella, and garrisoning San Diego,
had been mustered out at Los Angeles
in the preceding July. They were on
their way to Salt Lake, but at the
fort received letters advising all who
could not bring provisions for the
winter to remain in California until
the following spring. Suffer hired
them to work on his flour mill and
sawmill, and sent six of them to
Coloma, where Marshall had already
begun operations, assisted by three
men and dozen Indians
For four months Marshall and his
men worked at Coloma, seeing no WISH
tors and seldom communicating with
the fort. The mill had been nearly
completed, the dam was made, the
race had been dug, the gates had
been put in place, the water had been
turned into the race to carry away
some of the loose dirt and gravel and
then had been turned off again. On
the afternoon of January "a, 1S4S. Mar
shall was walking in the tailrace,
when on it's rotten granite bedrock
he saw some yellow particles and
picked up several of them. The
largest were about the size of grains
of wheat. They were smooth, bright,
and in color much like brass He
thought they were gold, and going to
the mill told the rest that he had
found a gold mine.

panions to be fanciful and erratic

was attached to his statement; but
he hammered his new metal, and
found it malleable; he put it into the
fire, and observed that it did not
readily melt or change color; he COM
pared it's color with gold coin, and
the more he examined it, the more he
was convinced that it was gold.
Next morning he hide another
visited to the tail-race, picked up other
specimens, and putting all he had
collected, about a spoonful on the
rim of his hat, went to the mill,
where he showed them to the men as
added proof of his discovery of gold
mine. After this he set out for the
fort to obtain his partners opinion

poedia sulphuric acid, and scales, and

The parade was an imposing one
and embraced floats representing his
torical Incidents and characters. A
leading feature of the pageant was a
calvalcade of aids to Grand Marshl
Morse consisting of 500 representative
citizens, selected by the well-known
organization The Native Sons.
The Chinese residents made grand
oriental demonstration and display
and the Chinese division of the page
ant was one of the interesting features
of the day. Among those who partic-
pated in the procession are four po-
neers who witnessed the discovery of
gold by Marshall. Among these is
Henry Fowler, who crossed the plains
and went to Oregon in 1S43, and the
following year came down the coast
by the old Oregon and Sacramento
trail, settling in the Napa valley. Most
of the other living pioneers also came
overland to California, making 4 pro
longed and dangerous journey.
This afternoon was given up 10 liter
airy exercises in Woodward's pa Fi(ion,
which has a seating capacity for 600
people In the evening there will be
a series of tableaux and living pictures
representing the NEUROLOGICAL history
of the State.
Tomorrow will be given ZIP to the
Native Daughters of the Golden West
who will give a reception at n. S. G
w. hall, and in the evening they will
hold an immense jubilee ball.

participated in by United States and
California troops. Valuable souvenir

sources OF the Pacific states.

GERMAN PROPOSAL
MADE TO AGUINALDO

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-The Tribune's
staff correspondent on board the over
land limited telegraphs from Carroll.
Iowa, that Felipe Agoncello. the first
accredited emissary Of Aguinaldo's
revolutionary government to any for
eign power, with his secretary and in
terpreter, will, upon reaching Chicago,
proceed to Washington over the Penn
sylvania line to lay before President
Mckinley the appeal of the F1lipinos
for representation on the peace COM
mission at Paris.
If official representation on the COM
mission cannot be granted he will urge
that the administration at Washington,
in justice to the people OF the Philip
pines, should secure for him the right
to be heard by the commission, in order
that any unjust charges or false accu-
sations against the Filipinos which the
Spanish members Of the commission
may set forth shall not go unanswered.
In his statement Agoncello says:
AS to the power of the Fflipino Govern
ment to control the islands and maintain
order, provided the Spanish forces are
withdrawn, have no misgivings. There
Of it's fs'V arms ns came e from Captured spans
iards and some from foreign countries.
l am not at liberty to say where.
No, they did not come from Germany,
and the statements that have been made
that the Filipinos are secretly conniving
with the Germans are false and unjust.
1t Is true that few days after the de-
struction of the Spanish fleet in Manila
Bay representatives Of the German en-
pire made proposals to the insurgents to
aid them in forming an independent gov
eminent. This offer was refused, the re-
ply made to the Germans being that, I'M
der an agreement entered into between
Aguinaldo and Admiral Dewey, the insur-
gents were In honor bound to refuse the
offer

Both Brown and Haley had plenty of
"rooters" In the lobby. though it was
generally known to all that Browns
name was on the slate and that the
programmes would nominate him in
spite Of any demonstration that might
be made in favor of his opponent. This
proved to be the case and the vote as
announced stood IS for Brown and IS
for Haley
When nominations for City and
County Attorney were called for w. B.
Cope presented the name Of Franklin
K. Lane. Those who had anticipated a
contest for this nomination were dis
appointed when E. A. Bridgford took
the floor and announced that the name
Of William T. Baggett would not be
presented He then thanked those mem
bers Of the convention who had been
friendly to Baggett's candidacy and
concluded by reading letter from Bag
gett in which that gentleman an
nounced his withdrawal from the fight.
The secretary was then instructed to
cast the ballot of the convention for
Mr.. Lane.
When the chairman announced that
nominations for the Office Of District
Attorney were In order there were loud
calls of Barrett" and for a few min
utes the lobby and gallery were In an
uproar. The cheers and shouts were
repeated when A. Comte placed John j.
Barrett's name before the con ysntion.
Joseph N. Nougues nominated Barclay
Henley, the slate candidate. The men
ton of Henley's name was greeted with
groans and boots from the crowd in
the rear. At this point W. B. Sullivan
