EvER:since this Congressional Dis
trict was formed primary elections
have been ordered when ever there was
more than one candidate, as was the
clse two years ago when Thompson
ran for Congress.
In every county in this congressional
district Democratic nominees for coun-
" officers have been selected 10y DEM
ocratic county primaries for many
wears. Democrats generally believe
that there should be a primary election
called this year TO select their candi-
dates for Congress The district is
very close, and every Democrat should
have an opportunity in primary cleo
ton to select the candidate of his
choice. The Congressional district
committee meets to-day at Lawrence
burg. We know that MadisOn's candi-
date will abide by anything they or
der, but We believe primary election
is the fairest and best plan.

AN OVATION TO
SKATER AT OMAHA

OMAHA. Oct. H.-Major General Will
liam K. Shafter was accorded a most gem
erous welcome by Omaha to-day. When
MS train arrived in the morning a large
number of people had gathered at the
station to greet the hero of Santiago
Later on, at the exposition grounds, the
manifestations Of love and respect or the
general were everywhere in evidence
The anticipated presence of General
smarter hlled the auditorium with a.
crowd that was as large and patriotic as
the one that gave General Miles such an
gnthuslaSuc ovation the day before.
Every seat was filed, ard hundreds Of
people stood in the lobby and the vacant
portions Of the gallery. General Shafter
and President WattIes headed the marty
and as soon as the blue and gold Of t9e
general uniform was perceived the audi-
ence rose TO Its feet spontaneously and
greeted MN with an ovation of hand
clapping and cheers. The band PLAYED a
numerous party was being seated
General Shafter was introduced as tba
first speaker, and the crowd rose and
cheered him again and again with a yfeor
that fairly shook the bunting that hing
lavishly from arch and pillar Shafter's
address was a plain, matter of fact ois2
cussion of the Cuban campaign and his
simple presentation of the main events of
the campaign was far more effective than
the most exalted oratorical effort from
one who had not participated in the strug
gle. One or two statements made by the
general are new. He said that with the
fall of FL Caney the campaign was prac-
ticaIly over. 1t was simply necessary he
said, to convince the Spanish commander
that his case was hopeless. He eventua1Iv
surrendered and with our small army we
had captured 1886 prisoners, 1900 of
whom were beyond our reach.

SITUATION AT PARIS
REGARDED SERIOUS

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE situation in
Paris is regarded In we'll informed
quarters here as being more serious
than it has been at any time since the
commune.
The st. James Gazette this afternoon
says: A military revolution, however
peaceful, which replaces the Brisson
Cabinet with the nominees of the gen
erals, would imperil the relations be-
tween England and France almost to
the breaking point. The semi-officiaI
and partly inspired Paris papers are
still pretending that negotiations are
proceeding between the two Govern
ments, and France believes it, although
everybody in England knows the state
ment to be ridiculous. Even surprising
Major Marchand is Internationally
withdrawn from Fashoda, the Difficult
ties with France will in no way end.
Behind it lies the whole question of the
ahrel-Ghazel the richest prize in
the Soudan.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says: 1t is impossible to obtain clear
proofs of the existence of a plot. but
the idea of an act of force haunts GER
tain military minds. Maddened and
stung by violent criticisms of the army
arising out of the Dreyfus affair, thew
are especially irritated at the attitude
of the civilians in claiming to interfere
in the detention Of Colonel Picuuart
for which the entire military authority
is responsible. Looking to the excited
state of the mems minds at the present
time and the conflict between the mill
tary and civil authorities, 1t is only
surprising that such alarms are not
more frequent

WITH THE GOLF
CLUB SWINGERS

golf league has been formed by the
Oakland, Burlingame, San Francisco nd
San Rafael clubs and a schedule is nov in
process of formation. A provis. NAL
schedule has been prepared but as there
are a number of conflicts in 1t. 1t will be
rearranged during the coming week. 1t
calls for match tournaments at the four
club links that will continue throughout
the year and the early part of spring.
The San Francisco links are being put
in shape rapidly and practice is resumed
among the members. A schedule of
tournaments has also been prepared by
this club and the first tournament will
be played under the schedule on Saturday
next The plans for the new club house
on the Preside links are prepared. but
several important changes will be made
before they are accepted.
At Oakland to-day the Burlingame Club
team will be entertained and an invitation
tournament played.
The San Rafael Club is very gloomy at
the present time. Just when 1t was all

ApDroached the GalloWS

CHICAGO Oct 14.-George H. Jacks,
formerly Chief of Police at Muskegon,
Mich, and John Druggan, both convicted
murderers, were hanged on the same
scaffold in the County Jail this after

Jacks sent the following letter to the
jailer:
Mr. Whitman-My Dear Sir: Please
do not let any of the clergy in to see me.
If I, an innocent man, be hanged to-day,
without the right to have the highest
court In the land pass upon my case,
which has been all prepared at great ex-
pense to myself and labor to my friends;
If 1 am refused this right, which every
man is entitled to, there certainly can
be no God above us, and in that case
the clergy can do no good. So please do
not allow any to see me Yours
This request was complied with. Jacks
prayed constantly while the moose and
shroud were being adjusted. Just before
going to the galIows Jacks, notwithstand-
be accompanied by priest. On the way
he repeated aloud after the priest the
PRAYERS which the latter .. voiced: Jacks
mercy on my SOUL" were the last words
of Jacks.

Adjutant General Barrett Presents
the States War Claim Against
fhe Government

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-General Bar
rett of California to-day presented the
claim OF the State of California against
the Government for expenses incurred in
fitting out the volunteers of California in
the war against Spain to the Auditor of
the War Department. General Barrett
will be given hearing before the Audi
tor on Wednesday of next week, when it
is supposed that the claim will be ac-
cepted, as the chief clerk of the Auditor,
when handed the papers remarked:
Everything seems to have come up to
the requirements of the Government, and
[ am glad to say that California has
ton and it will not take the department
very long to settle it,
1t was found that the Government is
not allowing claims for anything bought
or expenses incurred after June s. This
was the day that the bill passed Con-
gress which provided for paying expenses
up TO that day. and all expenses after
that date will need extra appropriation
from Congress. As the amount due Cal
ifornia for work after that day is very
small General Barrett does not see why
California should complain.

A NOVEL LAWSUIT.

An important suit will be tried before
Judge Kerrigan next week Friday, in
volving an entire 100000 issue of bonds
by the California Electric Light Com
pany. The points in dispute are novel,
and will probably be passed upon event
ually by the Supreme Court of the
State.
1t appears that in 1888 the Electric
Light Company issued the bonds In ques-
ton, giving each face value of $1,000
and STIMULATING in the contract that they
were to be payable twenty-five years
from date and to- bear interest at the
rate of s per cent per annum. A proviso
was inserted that on July 8, 1898, and on
the same day of every subsequent year
the company would be privileged to take
up ten of the bonds each year, the ones
to be thus taken up to be selected by
lots drawn from a wheel. The company.
however, prior to July 3, 1898, exchanged
1876 of the bonds for others of different
denomination. Hence when the first
drawing of lots from the wheel took place
on July only 104 numbers, representing
the original bonds remaining, were used
for the drawing. Two of the numbers
bonds of Joseph Westall. He now con-
tends that none Of the 104 remaining
much as the provisions of the bonds pro-
viding for a lottery of 300 numbers can
not be enforced, owing to the unauthor-
lied taking up of 1876 bonds prior to July
3, 1898. He refuses to surrender his hold
ings. and sues in Judge Kerrigan's court
for his interest.
1t is understood that all of the other
bondholders are behind Westall, and pro-
pose to fight the Electric Light Com
panys attempt to take up its bonds be-
fore the same mature. In case the con-
tention is successful the light company
will lose about 900 in interest which
will have to be paid to the bondhoIders.
1t is said that there is no parallel to this
case and therefore no precedents upon
which Judge Kerrigan can depend in
reaching q conclusion.

sibility, and should be regarded as the
opinion of a lawyer, and not that OF
the acting Attorney General.
THE resolution of Congress approved
on the 7th of July, 1898, annexed the
Hawaiian Islands as a part of the ter
ritory Of the United States, and made
them subject to sovereign dominion
thereof. This constituted said islands
as much part of the territory OF the
United States as any other of it's Ter
ritorial domain, and made it as much
a subject to the general powers and
authority of the Government Of the
United States as any other Of its terri
tory. 1t is true that the resolution
says that municipal legislation of the
Hawaiian Islands not inconsistent with
this joint resolution nor contrary to the
constitution Of the United States, non
any existing treaty of the United
States, shall remain in force until the
Congress of the United States shall
otherwise determine. Instead of quail.
flying the general authority of the Gov
eminent of the United States over the
islands, this provision expressly says
that municipal laws, in order to remain
in force, must not be inconsistent with
this resolution. Any one, therefore, OF
the municipal laws which is contrary
to the general laws of the United
States would be inconsistent because
Sucn municipal law WOulu lHteI 1Ste
with the complete dominion OF TINS
Government 1t may be that the Ha-s
Waiian Islands have local laws IN re-
gard to the establishment of banks and
other local institutions; but this does
not interfere with the right of the Gov
eminent to authorize the organization
of a national bank in this territory, be-
cause national banking laws are gen
eral and vest authority in the Comp
troller of Currency to authorize the or
ganization of national banks in any
part of the territory of the United
States There is scarcely a State in
the American Union that does not have
some local legislation authorizing the
esta blishment of local banks, or State
institutions with banking powers; still
this does not interfere with the gen
eral power of the Government to au-
thorize the organization of national
banks in such States. Such condition
might exist in any Territory where
there is a Territorial Legislature. The
might authorize the estab-
lishment of local banks, and yet au-
thority to organize national banks
would still exist.
After looking over this matter and
it and the wording of the
resolution, with the qualifications
above Indicated I am of the opinion
that the Comptroller Of Currency is as
bank in the Territory of Hawaii as in
that of Oklahoma or Alaska, which lat
ter is undisputed."
