TALKS ON TARIFF

In the course of an interesting address
at Bradford before the chamber of COM
merce of that place, on Thursday last,
the United States consul, Erastus S.
Day. applauded the marquis of Sails
bury's doctrine Of free trade in China.
He said that America had every SYM
pathy with it, and that the people of
Great Britain and the United States
ought to lead in shaping the worlds
thought and action. Continuing, he
said. they sought the opportunity to
achieve great things; would they unite
to achieve lasting benefits to them
selves and to the world?
Speaking of the tariff, Mr.. Day said
the overwhelming preponderance of
sentiment in the United States was in
favor of the protective tariff. The Will
son bill, he added, had sickened the peo-
pie of the tariff for revenue only" the
ory, and that it would not be wise for
the manufacturers of Bradford to hope
for the speedy enactment of another
Wilson bill, which closed too many
mills in the United States to be retired"
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
There will be an unusually determined
effort made during the coming session of
parliament to carry the woman's suf-
frage bill. 1t has no prospect of success,
however. until the question assumes the
form of government bill

ARGUMENTS IN
 THE HOFF CASE
Attorney Baker Presents His Views to the Trial
 Jury.
Scathing Insinuations as to the Guilt of the Man on Trial for
 His Life.

Arguments in the Hoff case were opened yesterday afternoon. Attorney George W. Baker made the opening remarks. He was followed by Attorney Simpson for the defense. The case will probably go to the jury this afternoon
 During the morning session witnesses were examined by the prosecution for the purpose of contradicting the testimony gicen by Hoff that Detective Seymour had used threatening and vulgar language at the time he made his statement to the police concerning his employment in the residence of the murdered woman on the day of her tragic death.
 Otto H. Heynemann, reporter for the Chief of Police, testified that no vulgar or threatening language was used. He was corroborated by Chief Lees and De- tective Seymour.
 Judge Cook rebuked Attorney Schooler of the prosecution for the manner in which witnesses were examined.
 s. M. Ewing and Arthur Barendt of the Examiner swore that the testimony given ny Hoff in regard to the Seymour mat ter was untrue, and their evidence was strengthened by L. G. Carpenter of the Post
 After lunch Attorney Baker reviewed the case for an hour and a half. He spoke of the helplessness of the victim and the brutality of the murderer. After he had argued for some time to the effect that the matter of time, which was so thoroughly gone into, was not material to the case. he was asked by Attorney Schooler to explain his ideas of a motive for the murder.
 Then the accusations against the pris- oner came In vehement utterances. Mo tive?" said Attorney Baker T will eX- plain the motive of the drunken wretch. He has stated that the ladies always smile on him. He has denied nothing in the case with the exception that he struck the fatal. brutal blows. Without doubt he was with Mrs. Cute between the hours of 4 and on the afternoon of December 15. and because he was not able to gain his purpose, anger overcame him and he crushed the skull of help less woman. It was a criminal act of a flend incarnate with an object in view of outraging his victim. That was his mo- tive, and the ScOundrel murdered Mrs. Cute, and no juror can doubt it. The defense have seen fit to attack the police, but without the police and the way In which they do their duties our lives or the lives of our families would not be safe with such monsters as that abroad in the land.'
 During the argument MT. Cute, who was present in the court room, cried bit terly but from time to time he listened to the argument and watched the move ments of the man accused of having mur- dered his wife.

WILL BE A GRAND SUCCESS. All Committees Actively at Work for
 the Masonic Festival.

The wives of the past masters and mas ters of Fidelity Lodge assembled at King SOlomons Hall yesterday afternoon and mapped a line of work that is likely to bring in thousands of dollars for the ben eft of the Widows and Orphans Home at Decoto. The Rev. pr. Voorsanger ex- plained to the ladies the object for which they were assembled and told them to de- eide in their own way exactly what they thought best for the interest of all.
 Among the ladies present were Mrs Voorsanger, the Misses Voorsanger. Mrs s. Rosener, Miss Nettie Rosener, Mrs. G. Brenner, Mrs. A. Marmar and Mrs, Dr. Kahn. It was decided that Fidelity Lodge should get up its own booth and work as a body.
 Mrs. pr. S. s. Kahn was unanimously elected chairman and Miss Rosener secre- tary. In committee of the whole the la dies decided to appoint an executive com mittee Of twelve. The executive commit tee is composed of Mrs. Schlesinger, Mrs. s. Rosener, Mrs. Gambitz, Mrs. H. S. Monheim. Mrs. Dr. Voorsanger, Mrs. w. L. Mack, Mrs. Gustav Brenner, Mrs. Fred Barry. Mrs. George Liebold, Mrs. Ellis.
 The ladies are going to arrange what they call a Monte Carlo" It promises to be very interesting place and one
 
 expense of leaving will depend on the ladies and gentlemen who visit Monte Carlo
 The executive committee will meet at the house of Mrs. pr. Kahn, 1894 Sutter street, next Monday afternoon.
 Fidelity Lodge will also be represented in possibly the most unique way by Mrs. Nathan Schlesinger This lady proposes of her own free will and at her own eX- pense to have a booth devoted to music and arts. She will show living pictures. The scenes will be secured from the Tiv- oli, Baldwin and Columbia theaters. At least fifty pretty girls will participate. Mrs. Schlesinger will furnish the music at her own expense.
 While the ladies were holding their meeting word came, from Oakland and Alameda that the ladies of the Eastern Star chapters were getting together in order to have their own booths. Mrs H. D. Rowe, the matron of Oak Leaf Chap ter No. s, is working with the other ladies.
 The committee on booths held meet ing and decided to enlarge the plan of ac- tion so that the entire ground floor of the Pavilion will be used. If the people south of Fresno decide to come to the city and get space for booths the upper portion of the Pavilion will have to be fitted up.
 Since Grand Master Flint issued his of fical sanction Masons in the interior are telegraphing an account of donations, etc, which means that the festival will be a financial success.

Walters Took the Gentle mems Race With the
 Outsider.
Favorites Were Successful in the Other Five
 Events.
Forrnero AGain Winnor-Speedy O'Connell Played With
 His Field.

The race for gentlemen riders was the only bright effect of an otherwise dull and featureless card at Inglesde yester- day, Metaire a 90 to l shot, ridden by MT Walters. an unknown quantity, turned up the winner. In the opening betting, Our Climate, the mount of MT. Haines. was chalked up favorite at odds of to 5. later receding to Il to D. Mir Haines was unfortunate in getting left at the post. William O'B piloted by MT. Dunphy, had first call around bugle call, at odds of to D. Many pinned their faith in MT Skinner. who threw the leg over Don Clarencio. At the start. MT. Walters saIlied out in the lead with Metaire. and though it was freely prophesied that the outsider would back up, he failed to do it. eventually winning by four, lengths. By making a short turn into the stretch and a liberal application of the bat Mir. Skinner succeeded in beating William O'B out for the place.
 Favorites had it all their way, the gentlemen riders race being the only one to go to an outsider in the betting. The fields were small and very close odds were laid agaist the different winners.
 H. L. Frank started his aristocraically bred colt Bitter Root in the opening six furlong spin. for which fourteen three year-old maidens went to the post. The brown fellow backed up in the betting from to to twos. and won all the way, finishing at the end four lengths before the Is to l chance Toribio. Eroica was 0 good third.
 Tom Cook took the seven furlong selling run with Break O Day. The mare was a to 2 favorite in the ring, and intrust- ing the front position to Tim Murphy until strengthened for home, drew away, winning very handily In 1:2Ss.. Sir Dilke the second choice, outflelded old Tim for the place.
 The good colt Formero upheld his rep utation by taking the five furlong scramble for two-year-olds as he pleased in the fast time of 1:01A. The son of Con- veth was held an even money choice in the ring, and led Olinthus out with con- siderable in reserve. Milt Young was beaten but nose for the place.
 Barney Schreiber scratched Dr. Marks from the mile and a furlong and the crowd then jumped on Red Glenn, forcing his odds down from twos to even money. Skeets Martin kept Purser's gelding back in the race until the stretch was reached, where he set sail for Daylight and at the wire won cleverly by a length. The latter secured the place from Melvin Burnham in a drive.
 O'Connell disposed of his companv in the final seven furlong run very impress sively. Starting 1 to favortte. the old sprinter up-toed in front from the start winning easily length in advance of Rosormonde. St Cataline gave the win ner a rub for part of the distance, but tired as the wire was approached.

Archibald clavering .Gunter Here.

Archibald Clavering Gunter, the author of MT. Potter of Texas Mr. Barnes of New York and a half-dozen other works that have served to pass the time at all the watering places of the world and to make pleasant many a long and tedious journey by land and sea, is at the Grand, where he arrived, with his wife, Wednes- day night from New York.
 MT. Gunter is only here on visit to his mother, who resides in the city. and after a stay of four or five weeks will return to New York, where he is engaged in the business of turning out, through the me dium of a publishing house, the products of other genius, as well as emI owing his spare moments in giving to the world new creations of his own.
 MT. Gunter is much interested in the Cuban question, and says that from the observations he made in the different sec tons of the country through which he passed on his way out here It seems as if the whole nation was af1ame, and that unless Spain backs down 1t looks as though she would get the whipping she so richly deserves.

made by the irate Captain Lenty Sat-

became enraged at only raising thirty

flied his spite by abusing the citizens.
Among other things he said that
ninety-five per cent of the women and
girls of the town who attended dances
and social affairs at Merkle Hall, the
largest and most popular place in the
city, were immoral.
The newspapers roasted him today
and big crowd collected at the meet

his statements he and his satellites
were attacked with rotten eggs and

oners have been huddled anywhere,
fed when convenient, and sent to an
insanitary camp. More or lessaof vim
dictiyeness has entered into Mte mat
fer But the United States takes the
highest possible ground in disposing
of tbe men whom it captures, The
first point looked after is that they
shall harm no citizen OF ours untii
duly exchanged. They are held under
safe restraint to that extent Beyond
that they are well fed, furnished with
decent garments, and placed in health
full camps. They are protected from
any form of humiliation and the rank
of officers is respected, form OF cour-
tesy which every soldier desires and
appreciates.
II must be confessed that among
countries esteemed to be enlightened
Spain has hitherto been one of the
worst offenders in disposing of prls-
oners. Colonial wars have hardened
the Spanish heart, never too merclful
in any form of warfare. Insurgents
in the colonies have been subject to
the death penalty, even when wounded
or sick in hospitals. Those who es-
caped death were taken to nolsome
dungeons or the terrible prisons on
the African coast. An average Span
ish prison is a mediavel horror. How
large body of American prisoners
would have Jared has happily not
been tested. But for some time Lieut..
Hobson and his companions were

Their location suggested that were
used as shield, and the Spanish
Government would have been called to
account if it had continued this policy
The delay in exchanging Hobson
showed a stin-necked disposition and
reluctance to depart from the old
Spanish idea that one of the duties OF
war is to make captives miserable.

them in any case and to provide ships

The terms given will have good ef-
feet upon other Spanish troops in
Cuba. Many are conscripts who de-
SPARED of seeing their native country
again. Service in the colonies has
been almost equivalent to exile, often
cut short by fatal disease. Spain ex-
acts much of its soldiers and gives lit
tie in return. Probably the terms
granted Toral's forces will be more ac-
ceptable to them than to the Madrid
authorities, but tney are in line with
their wishes. They will see their kim
dred again, and be put to better use
than to die in an utterly hopeless
struggle in the trenches at Santiago
