find that man. no matter In what community he lives, is just about such man as he is reputed to be.
 T think this was one of the most wanton and brutal attacks ever made on any man. A man that would make morally and politically; and the man who will take the benefit of his position physically to traduce man who can not compete with him physically IS a brute. He is of the school of Buckley. This man does not live in our city, but he has had his grip on the politics or the city and county until we are dis grace to the State of California Now where this attack is made on one of our nominees, I think it is the duty Of our club to come to his defense.
 T think it is time that some of these scoundrels who are robbing the treas ury of the city from year to year should be called to account, and 1 am glad that MT. Jarman has had the courage, sand and backbone to bring this matter to the consideration of the people of Santa Clara County. We know that the editor -in-chief of the local morning paper is not in good health and not able to man age his paper. For him l have the greatest sympathy.
 Tn his place we have an individual who doesn't reside in the city, manipu- J editing the paper from his back door. That is the class of men we have to meet. He has got his fins on many f1rSt-clasS men in your city. He leads them by the nose, as you lead a dog. He has got some of those men to run for office. Any man who consents to run in opposition to the Charter Club ticket-any man who Is put up by this bosS--occupieS the same position that the boss does. He Is no friend of San Jose and no friend of good government. Let them make a dirty fight if they want to. Let us fight them with dig nifty, and if necessary the club should put it's hands into it's pocket and help MT. Jarman by employing additional counsel Tha is the kind of support we should give him and give this man a lesson. This man will not attack man physically his equal or who has pis- tol in his pocket. He attacks little man physically unable to fight him."
 T. A. Carroll said it was the duty of the club to sustain Jarman in every way. He declared other candidates were being attacked by vile whisper ings and malicious inuendoes thrown out by the whip-poor-will's blue jays. and the chippies who train with the gang and the boss
 William F. James offered a resoln- tion that every candidate and member of the Charter Club sink his individu- ality and make the fight for the en- tire ticket. The resolution was adopted. Preparations are being made for a grand meeting next week. Some sensational exposures are promised at that time by some of the speakers who will appear

IMPORTANT OYSTER
 BEDS DISCOVERED
Rich Finds of the Bivalves Made on North Bay,
 Near Tacoma.
Enough to Supply the Puget Sound Country if Properly Developed
 and Protected.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 TACOMA. Wash, March 1.-Two im- portant oyster beds have been discovered the other on North Bay, forty miles from Tacoma. For many years the beds near Olympia have partially supplied Puget Sound with bivalves, but the increased demand has resulted in the raising of prices. A search for other beds has proved futile for years, the water of the lower sound being generally too deep for them. The beds now discovered are therefore, considered of great importance. Claims covering them have been filed. Their owners expect to soon supply the entire Northwest with oysters and to inn prove the quality by transplanting here larger oysters from San Francisco Bay. Near Whatcom beds of hardshell clans have been found for the first time on Puget Sound.
 William Buding, owner of fifteen acres of North Bay oyster land, would not trade it for a Klondike claim He and his neighbors are dil1ing extensively to prevent the exposure of the oysters at low tide, which would result in their be- ing frozen some cold night. Observation shows that North Bay oysters have been partially exterminated by starfish, which embrace bivalves and suck their life away To overcome this a fertiliZing plant is being started. The starfish will be gathered and converted into fertili- gers, the surrounding farms being defi- cient in phosphorus, which they contain.

New York, Sept. 2.-R. G. Dur &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade Will say
tomorrow:
The smallest number Of failures ever

has shown defaulted liabilities as small.

defaults 10 solvent business, represent
ed by exchanges through all clearing
houses, is smaller by 26.5 per cent than
in any previous month. The c~lea1ngs
having been the largest ever seen in
August and 23.0 larger thar in 1892, the
enormous volume Of business in a
month usually one OF the most inactive
OF the year demands attention.
~Postponement during the months Of
war Of some contracts n purchases
which have now come forward explains
part Of the increase, and the strong alb
sorption OF securities explains part, but
there has also been a great decline in
the average OF prices of all commodi-
ties. so that II takes a much larger vol
ume of business in tons or bushels TO
make up transaction amounting to a
million more than in 1892. II Is there
fore strictly true that business is larger
han in the very best of all past years,
and yet there is every prospect Of much
further increase.
There is no room to doubt that the
wheat crop, ever though II may fall a
shade below some estimates, will prove
the largest ever harvested. and though
Beerbohm estimates Europe's crop at
232.O 0O. 900 bushels more than the last.
that would be only about al average

5.534,7 57 bushels last year, and the Pa
cihc exports ass. SS1 bushels, against

at the West are increasing and the
price has dropped 3 cents for spot,
though the September option Is z
cents lower for the week.
The Improvement in the iron indus

OFF FOR THE BIG FAIR

THE TRAFFIC Is DIVIDED
Burlington Route Gets the Lions Share

Many Tickets-Railroad News
OF General interest

Between 90 and 100 people left Butte
yesterday for Omaha. and it is ex-
pected that nearly as many more will
leave to-day. All the roads out of
Butte got a share OF the travel. but
Phil Daniels of the Burlington sold
fully half of all the tickets. The Den
yer & Rio Grande. the Northern Pa
cihc. the Great Northern and the Short
Line offices were kept busy all day on
account of the exposition travel. The
special rate OF SIS for the round trip
was good only for two days and will
expire to-day, but tickets are good re-
turning for Is days.
A statement OF Burlington earnings
for the month OF July has just been
issued and does not a first glance APP
bear as gratifying as II might have
been. The surplus FOR the month ap-
plicsble to dividends amounted to but
sS2. 075.16. AS compared with the same
month last rear there was a decrease
of $3.50, 930.52. The loss was altogether
in freight earnings and in a consider
able increase In operating expenses.
The loss in freight earnings is easily
explained. July last year was an un-
usually good month. coming after a pc
riod OF long continued depression. The
increase in operating expenses was due
to large OUTLAWS for physical improve
ments, which have been going on for a
lengthy period, and which IA been
paid for out of the earnings and
charged TO operating expenses. When
properly understood. then, the showing
is not so ~unfavorable as might at first
sight appear. The figures IL contained
were in detail as follows:
