RALLY AT LAKEPoRT.
Hon. John T. Dare and J. M. Oliver
 Address Republicans,

LAKEPORT, Oct. 9.-The Republicans held big rally at the Courthouse last night. Hon. John T. Dare of San Fran cisco and J. NJ. Oliver of Alameda were the speakers. Both gentlemen delivered masterful addresses and showed up Dem opopism and Maguireism in maner that did not reflect credit upon those fallacies of the day.
 Mr Dare reviewed Maguire's record in Congress in relation to the funding bill and how he had let the measure pass without even offering an objection: how he had favored the anarchists and called them the Democrats of Europe when the immigration restriction bill was before the house MT. Dare referred to the call umnies circulated by the fusionsts and the yellow press as to how the war and the military camps were conducted, and told of his personal inspection of nu- merous camps and how he had found that everything that could possibly be done for the comfort and health of the men was .one.
 Mir Oliver showed that if the single tax was in operation 1t would mean a practical confscation of the land. and the burden of taxation would fall upon the farmers. He eulogiZed President McKin- ley and his administration and showed how the President had accomplished more toward abolishfng sectionalism than any man this nation ever had Hon. Vic tor Metcalf, candidate for Congress, was also highly commended for ability, integ- rity and industry.

The influx of people from the country districts was enormous. The ceremony of depositing WreathS upon the grave was highly i'm presive, though simple.

ALMOST 4 RIOT
 AT THE MEETING SausaIito Trustees in Stormy Session. DENOUNCED BY TAXPAYERS TROUBLE OVER THE LETTING OF
 A CONTRACT. Attempt to Give San Franciscans Preference Over a Local Firm
 Arouses the Wrath of
 Citizens.
OVER. THE LETTING OF
 A CONTRACT.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL. Oct. 9.-The Board of Trustees tried to operate a little "cinch" game on local contractors at a meeting held last Friday evening and the result surpassed its Hveliest imagin- alton.
 The session almost ended In a riot as a consequence of sensational charges by s. Cheda and Christopher Chisholm. The language used by these indignant taxpayers was so plain and reflected such discredit on individual members of the board that Trustee Henry Eickhoff grew infuriated and demanded that Marshal Healy eject Chisholm from the room.
 About a month ago bonds for a new outfall sewer system were voted in the sum of $25, 900. The specifications pro- vided that iron-stone mains should be laid. After the bonds were voted the Trustees arbitrarily changed the spect- fications so as to read that wooden mains should be used. This move ere ated a deal of adverse comment, and its legality was questioned by a local paper.
 Last Friday night the board received bids for laying the woodwork of the new system. The bid of Thomas O'Con- nor, a local contractor, was $15,SS7; that of the Excelsior Pipe Company of San Francisco about $400 more. The San Francisco firm was about to get the contract when Cheda jumped to his feet and shouted:
 AS a taxpayer I protest against this raw work It Is a 'cinch game pure and simple, and l ask that all bids be rejected
 Prior to Cheda's interruption Henry P. Wood had spoken warmly in favor of granting the Excelsior Pipe Com pany the contract on the rather pe- culiar ground that its bid was "only a few hundred dollars more than OCon- nor's." He now arose and repeated his language, whereupon Chisholm sprang to his feet and declared the board to be a "set of clowns"
 You are trying to get the royalty out of the patent rights of the San Francisco firm" he asserted, and as taxpayer I protest"
 At this Trustee Eickhoff, whose ar guments showed him to favor the San Francisco firm, arose and in voice trembling with anger demanded that Marshal Healy eject Chisholm. So warm waxed the excitement that the board was forced to adjourn without taking any action to next Tuesday evening.
 The trouble over the contracts. 1t is alleged arises mainly out of the fact that the board Is aiming for the roy alty coming through the patent rights of the San Francisco company, and this the taxpayers are averse to paying. In addition the latter firm wishes to bring it's own men over to work on the sewer and throw local men out of employ ment.
 A highly inf1ammatory poster, headed with a skull and crossbOnes, has been pIacarded in the window of E.. Krun bull. a watchmaker, denouncing the ac- tion of the board and calling on the citizens to be present at the next meet ing to stop the "cinch" on local men. Crowds daily block the sidewalk view ing the poster.

HALDEMAN SAID TO
 HAVE DISAPPEARED
When Cincinnati's Grand Jury Takes Up the Murder Case a Sensa-
 tinn Is Exnected

CINCINNATI. Oct. 9.-When the Grand Jury meets tomorrow sensational devel- opments are expected in the case of w.. J. Haldeman, charged with killing his brother-in-law and business partner, ex- Senator J. c. Richardson of Glendale After they quarreled in their paper mill at Lockland and the fatal shooting oc- cured, on September p, Haldeman re- mained in concealment. Richardson died a week later and the day preceding his death Haldeman left for Chicago. Learn ing that warrant had been sworn out by Coroner Herr, charging murder in the first degree, Haldeman returned last Tuesday night and early the next morn ing was bound over for mansaughter by his neighbor, the Mayor of Lockland. He was admitted to bail and has not been seen since.
 The officers of the city have never been able to serve their murder warrant, but the case will come before the Grand Jury for indictment for murder in the first de- gree and then it will be known whether Haldeman has really disappeared. His attorneys promise that he will surrender If indicted. Owing to the prominence of both the Richardson and Haldeman farni- lies the case is attracting unusual atten- ton.

ALASKAN SURVEYING
 PARTIES NOT IN DANGER

WASHINGTON, Oct. Recommending on the dispatch from Seattle, published a week ago to the effect that only two of the several Government surveying parties sent to Alaska last spring by the United States survey would reach the coast of the Territory in time to re- turn home before the winter storms should block the trail. the fortunate parties being those of Spur and Me Combrie, Dr..

MAY TURN BACK
 SPANISH CRUISER Washington Likely to
 Protest. LATEST MOVE OF MADRID WARsHIP SOON TO REACH THE
 PHILIPPINES.
This Government May Request Through France That Its Arms and Ammunition Be Not
 Landed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Herald s Washington correspondent sends the following: It may be that the United States will submit a diplomatic protest to Spain through the French Govern ment against its action in sending a Spanish auxiliary cruiser laden with arms and ammunition to the Philip pines. In any event the matter is un- der consideration, and, it Is believed, has been called to the attention of the American commissioners In Paris.
 The cruiser in question is the Buenos Ayres, belonging to the Spanish auxil- iary, which, Rear Admiral Dewey re- ported to the Navy Department several days ago, Is due to arrive at the Sin gapore Straits Settlement on October IS. It is appreciated by the authorities that Spain has the same right in the eyes of international law to send reinforce mentS to the Philippines as this Govern ment has, and any protest made would be of the most diplomatic character and simply designed to make it plain that a continuance of the voyage of the Buenos Ayres is objectionable.
 On the other hand a member of the Cabinet tonight said that all of the Philippines with the exception of Ma nila are in nominal possession of Spain and that it is her undoubted privilege if she deems it advisable to do so to send troops to the eastern islands to subdue any instructions that may oc- cur.
 Another member of the Cabinet who talked the matter over with the PreSi- dent admitted that Spain had the moral right to dispatch endorsements to the Philippines, but as the forces of this Government were in control it was within it's authority to prevent such re- Inducements reaching their destina- ton.
 However, it is expected that the mat ter will not go beyond a protest if it yoeS that far.
