SILVER HARMONY.

The meeting at the Court House on
Tuesday evening, which our Republi
can friends confidently predicted
would split the Silver Party wide
open, resulted harmoniously all round
and a primary ticket vas selected
whose twenty embrace all the
interests Of the party and from which
any silverman viii have no trouble in
making a selection.
Any nine ann which may be
selected by the voters on Saturday
next will represent the silver interests
of this country.
The impression prevails that a
motion to let the delegates go I'M
pledged was lost. This is an error.
a motion was made that the nine
delegates selected at the primaries
while they should be considered as
representing Ormsby county candi-
dates, go unpledged.
The motion was not put by the
chair under the mistaken idea thai
embracing a negative proposition j
should not be put.
Such a motion however had it beef
put would have undoubtedly prevailed
It has been always the wish of tn
candidates from this county thai tn
delegation should be merely compos
ed of intelligent silver men and un
pledged.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-As a result of
the meeting of the senate committee on
the Nicaragua canal today Senator Nor
gan gave notice of an amendment to the
Nicaragua canal bill authorizing the i'm
mediate issuance, with guarantee by this
government, OF $s.oOo000 worth of bonds
for the redemption OF all outstanding
stock. except that held BY the government
OF Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and the
cancellation of all obligations He sub
mitted at the same time a report upon
the situation with reference to the canal
dealing exclusively with the fact that the
government Of Nicaragua granted a con-
cession to construct a canal TO another
company than the Maritime Canal Com
pany.
He denounced this transaction In severe
terms, upholding the rights of the Mari
time Company for the present and for an
extension Of its concessions for ten years
more. The report arraigns the conduct
Of the republic of Nicaragua as well as
that of the American citizens securing the
new concession in most severe terms. at
tribu:ing the course OF Nicaragua to jeal-
ousy of Costa Rica and that of the con-
cessionaries to ''obstruct q great natlona,

JAY HUGHES EXPLAINS HIS
 QUEER ABSENCE His Name Was Im- properly Used. GILT EDGES WERE BLAMELESS WAS IN NEED OF A LONG
 VACATION. Mccarthy of the Athletics a Great Player, Yet Had to Be Sensa-
 tional to Have It
 Known.
By doe Corbett.

The last time the Gilt Edges played here 1t was announced previous to the date set for the contest that Jay" Hughes, Baltimore's star twirler of last season. was to pitch for the above named team As baseballdom is aware, MT Hughes failed to put in an appearance, and many of those who went to Recrea- ton Park purposely to see him came away disappointed and in a few cases dis satisfied.
 MT. Hughes, on seeing his cognomen in the lineup, immediately telegraphed me that he had not authorized any person to use his name in connection with the pro- posed contest and did not intend to pitch The telegram, like the pardon" came too late. MT. Hughes, however, has evidently heard that the San Francisco public was greatly disappointed in not seeing him perform on the occasion in question, and writes the following letter in explana- ton, which l take great pleasure in pub fishing:
 Mir. Joe Corbett, Baseball Editor Call-Friend Joe: I would like to ofter to you and to the basebal-lcving public of California, and par ticularly of San Francisco, who have always not an apology but a mere explanation of the facts regarding my non-appearance with the Gilt Edges against the Watsonvilles.
 At the end of the National League season was completely out from the physical and moral strain attendant upon young pitcher S first year in the great league, and felt happy at the promise of rest had made my self upon my return home to my friends in Sacramento I had found, however, that the record of my work had preceded me, and my friends thought better than l really felt myself To satisfy their desire to see me work l consented to pitch one game. but informed the Gilt Edge management that l needed rest and would pitch more this season.
 I was therefore, very much surprised to see myself advertised to pitch agaInst the Watson viiles and inquired of the Gilt Edge manage ment if they had sent in my name. They in formed me that they had not. 1 immediately wired your paper and the Chronicle that my name had been used by mistake, I did not feel that I was in condition to do myself or my old-time colleagues justice. 1 did this merely to set myself right before the San Francisco public thinking that perhaps some few of my friends might go out to see me play.
 I am at a loss to understand who is responsible for advertising my name in the list of Gilt Edge players but feel certain that 1t not the Gilt Edge management.
 I address you this now, as l have been fn- formed that several of my San Francisco friends were dissatisfied at not seeing me, and to state positively that 1t was through no fault of mine that they or the San Francisco public may have felt themselves disappointed at my non- appearance.
 If you can find space for the above in your muchly appreciated paper I will deem 1t an especial favor. Believe me, yours very truly,
 JAY HUGHES. Of the many players now performing

League few are as accomplished in the 1eqf sdo of the game aS Mr This gentleman, since his return from the Western League, has been playing some beautiful ball and doing some really clever all-around work at Recreation Park, but owing to the fact that he possesses the art of making easy plays out of those chances which would be most difficult to the or dinary fielder, he has been overlooked to certain extent by those who write up and patronize the games. Until last sun days day great game game between the Athletics ts an opportunity to do anything really bril- liant; this because, as l said before, he made difficult chances. appear easy. But ballplayers. like other folks, are generally presented with an opportunity and Me Carthy's came last Sunday. He was play ing his usual position-left field.
 The Watsonvilles had two men on bases and there were two out If those two men could cross the plate game would be decided and the batsman stead fed himself for the ordeal. A straight plate. The batsman with a mighty and we'll directed swing met it sQuarely, and far out in the direction of the left field thought of that ball being headed off in its winning flight. It appeared as though it would hit the fence on the fly, and merely to watch its It's course s2 l sfood siona up up though propelled by some hidden power could be seen the form of Mccarthy go- ing like mad after the sphere. He seemed to know the exact spot the. ball would strike-an art familiar only to the great fielder-and as if by instinct turned and captured the expected winning hit.
 Immense applause greeted this perform ance, and I will say that the San Fran cisco rooters appreciate good work and are not slow in displaying their pleas ure This is the first brilliant play Me Carthy is credited with since joining the Athletics. But 1t Is not the first great play he has made. Many times he has captured balls which, were it not for his ability, would have been called brilliant plays.
 He Is one of the few fielders who does not cater to grand stand work, trait. to be admired in any man. Besides be- ing an excellent fielder, Mccarthy is what might be properly termed "crackerjack" base runner. His performances in this department of the game have often won him applause. In the Western League his ability to pilfer the cushions was sec ond to none, and back there in that league, where many fine players roam, he Is considered star" of the first magni- tude.
 The Frisco fans are bit slow some times in recognizing good work. Per haps it Is on account of the many poor exhibitions that grace our diamonds, and

lar wish to have the public understand that the Red Cross is in no way respon- sible for Miss Schaefer's report
 ''At the time Miss Schaefer made those assertions she was not in the employ of the Red Cross,' said the president, land our ladies are very much annoyed that the young woman should have given such an interview, giving to it, as she does, the impression that she is speaking for the society. Miss Schaefer became sick as soon as she reached Manila and has not done any work since she has been there. We sent her there and when she left she did so of her own accord and without any order or authorization from the society here. Hence she voluntarily severed her connection with the Red Cross the mo- ment that she turned her face homeward, so the interviews from Honolulu must be taken as those of private individual and not of one of our employees, None of the reports that we have received from our employees at Manila give any such gloomy accounts of the. condition of the soldiers there, and until we hear something be- sides what Miss Schaefer states we are not disposed to think that matters are as serious as she would have the public be- lieVe.o

 Mrs. Stanford, in her report, states that all debts against the estate of the de- ceased millionaire have been fully paid, satisfied and discharged by her, aggre- gating the sum of S1,1S2173 92; that the amount of legacies under the last will and testament of Leland Stanford was $5. .115 900, all of which have been fully paid and discharged. In conclusion the execu- trix states that the administration of the estate was greatly delayed and em- barrassed by reason of various litigation and principally by reason of the so-called Government suit by the United States against the estate to recover the sum of Sl5, ,235 GOO or whereabouts. All of the nti- gation has at last been finally determined and disposed of in favor of the estate, with the exception of the so-called in heritance tax case, which is still pending in the Supreme Court of this State"
 Regarding the inheritance tax, Mrs Stanford. in her report, further states that she is ready and willing and offers to forthwith place in the Union Trust Company of this city on special deposit the sum of S230 900 for the purpose of fully paying and discharging the tax if it be declared legal by the Supreme Court, and if the tax be declared illegal, then Mrs. Stanford asks that the money be dis tributed to persons lawfully entitled thereto

IT LOOKS BLACK
 FOR BLACKMAN
EVIDENCE AGAINST THE DIS
 GRACED POLICEMAN.
His Case and That of Saloon-Keeper Rood, His Alleged Accomplice,
 Continued Till Tuesday.

Policeman Cassus Blackman and Frank H. Rood, saloonkeeper on Valencia street, were arraigned in Judge Mogan's court yesterday on the charge of grand larceny. Blackman was represented by Attorneys Wilson and Sweeney and Rood by Attorney M. c. Hassett. The cases were, by consent, continued till next Tues day. Rood is out on S3000 bonds, and at the request of Blackman's attorneys the Judge reduced his bonds to $2000
 Blackman's arrest has caused a pro- found sensation throughout the depart ment, as 1t Is looked upon as a reflection upon all those sworn to protect the lives and property of citizens and visitors. There is a hope that he will be able to prove his innocence, not particularly for his own sake but for the esprit de corps of the department Captains Seymour and Gillen, who have charge of the case, if guilty, and the proof they have ob- tained points that way.
 Two additional witnesses came forward yesterday and made statements to the po- lice. John Hahn, 136 San Carlos avenue was the man that Cornelius Cronin, the victim, thought was following him to rob him. He went into Rood's saloon with Cronin, Blackman and Special Officer money and give 1t to Rood at Blackmans s mention the amount as s255
 The other witness Is w. E. McNamee, Is Dearborn street. He went into Rood s saloon while Cronin. Blackman and Hahn were there. He saw Cronn count the money, ten s2o gold pieces, a s1o gold piece, a 8 gold piece and he thought $3o in it in a cigar box. He walked with the others as far as Sixteenth street on their way to the Valencia Hotel. Blackman told him to say nothing about 1t. as re- porters might get onto the business
 1t is nearly sixteen years since a mem Der of the department was arrested for similar crime. Policeman Langtry was then the culprit. He was caught steal ing silks from a warehouse on the water front He was sentenced to nine years in State prison.

MISSION MERCHANTS.
Organization Effected for the Im-

A meeting of Mission merchants was held last night in Mission Parlor Hall on Seventeenth street and an organization was effected to be known as the Mission Business Mems Association. It is intended to work along the same lines as the Mer- chants Association and be a sort of auxiliary to that body. The members will cooperate with the purpose of bettering the trade conditions in that section and also endeavor to provide for proper light ing and paving of the streets.
 Temporary organization resulted in the election of the following officers: Presi- dent, Henry F. Wynne; secretary, E. S. Harrison; committee on permanent organ ization, H. E. Shook, F. Waibel W. J. Kenney. J. H. Boyson. L. Goldman. H. H. Manifold. w. O. Pattosien, L. J. Cannon, J. l.. Horiger.
