to pay their just proportion OF the eX-

Mr.. Patton finished speaking just as
Henry r. Gage arrived, and the cheers
for him were continued for Mr.. Gage,
who was Immediately presented to the
audience. He renewed his pledge to give
the people an honest, clean and untram-
meled administration, If elected Governor,
and briefly reviewed the issues of the day,
closing with prophecy that nothing
could prevent the success of the Republl-
can ticket next Tuesday. His assurance
that rich and poor alike would receive
exact Justice at his hands appealed to
the sentiment of the crowd, and he was
given a magnificent ovation as he left
the stage.
Henry n. Clement followed Mr.. Gage
and urged the election of the Republican
candidates. Hon. A B. Splivalo addressed
the meeting in English and italian, and

men who were not in touch with the ad-
ministration. Loud cries of NOT greeted
his question from all over the hall.
Mr.. Kahn went on TO show that Cali
fornia had of late been overlooked in the
matter of appropriations and public pat
ronage because her Congressman were not
in touch with the administration, In fact,
because, on the other hand, they were
usually to be found fighting the admins
tration and opposing the President. He
said that If we stood by the President
now we could secure the commerce of the
Pacific Ocean. This remark evoked great
applause. Mr. Kahn clearly demonstrated
how the holding of the Philippines would
benefit this country materially and San
Francisco in particular. He showed from
the consular reports that while we spent
S4,000,000 in the Philippines annually our
exports were only $162 900 for each year,
while every other nations exports to the
same islands was up in the millions of
dollars. This state of affairs, he said,
could and should be reversed, and he
made so bold as to state that it
would be reversed If Repubh-
can Congress was elected to sup
port the administration. Mr.. Kahn point
ed out the fact that the Republican party
had always been the friend of the work
ingman, and he emphatically denied that
he had ever been under the control of any
railroad or corporation. He stated that
he wanted the yellow journal that made
the false assertion to prove it or else
shut up.

that shook the building. Cheers and cries

the crowd pressed so closely around him
in their efforts to grasp his hands that
it was with difficulty he was able to make
his way TO the platform. AS he stepped
forward the cheering and applause broke
out afresh, and it was five minutes before
it subsidized, and then just as Mr.. Gage
started to speak some one in the audience
called for three cheers for Mcguire. This
suggestion, which was made by some lone
individual, reused a perfect storm of

LATIN VOTE
IS SOLID
FOR GAGE

Citizens of Latin descent turned out en-
masse last night and filled Garibaldi Hall
to overlooking, and they were all there to
shout for Gage, Patton and the Republic
can ticket. 1t was a grand ante-election
mass meeting, under the auspices of the
Scavengers' Union.
Men who toll from early morning till
late at night put off fatigue and attended
the meeting to listen to remarks by lie
men for whom they intend to cast their
ballots on election day. Although many
of the men present were unfamiliar with
rostrum English, they recognized the
speakers and thoroughly understood their
intentions, and Endorsed the principles
which they represent. These men, who
came from far off foreign climes, love
liberty and justice, and approaching the
protection guaranteed them by the stars
and stripes, they are enrolled in the ranks
of the Republican party, secure in the
faith that the continuance of that party
in power assures them continued liberty,
equality and an opportunity to earn an
honest livelihood.
DR.. Calegaris, formerly a Democrat,
presided, and urged his hearers to vote
the ticket they had adopted at a previous
meeting of the union-Gage for Governor
and Patton for Mayor. Mr.. Patton'S en-
trance shortly after the meeting was
called to order interrupted the gentleman
who was speaking, and he gracefully re-
tired, while the hall resounded with plaud-
it's for the Republican champion. Mr..
Patton spoke only a few moments. def1n
ing his position on the issues of the cam
paign and the questions which interest
the taxpayers of this city.
Referring to the new charter he de-
clared that he was heart and soul in
favor of it, because the people had voted
for its adoption. On the matter of taxes
he emphatically expressed himself in
favor of the dollar limit. and assured the
audience that If elected he would strenu-

that he would give you free trade When
he was elected however, he closed the
mills, the factories and crippled nearly
every industry at which you made your
living.
For these national benefits and for the
good you yourselves have derived indt-
vidually from the Republican party 1t is
your duty to vote for it and do all you
can to further the existence of its prin-
ciples and uphold the noble and liberal
platform upon which it is grounded"
Charles L, Patton and the prominent
candidates who express their sentiments
before the voters of this section of the
city followed in the main the course in

dates wanted to speak, so he made way
for them.
Nearly all of the municipal nominees
took their turns at short talks on local
issues. Judge Murphy was on hand, as
were Asa Wells, /. ]. Truman and Ed l.

and brought the Police Judges-to-be with
him, and they were followed by Martin

DEMOCRATS IN SESSION

Governor.
SAN FRANCISCO CONTEST
Rival Organizations Sent Delegations.
There VIII Be No Opposition
to Maguire-Siver Forces
Fuse.

Sacramento. Cal, Aug. 1s.-The Cali
fornia democratic state convention met
in Sacramento this afternoon and or
ganized by the election of Governor
James III. Budd as temporary chairman.
Committees OF credentials and perma-
nent organization were appointed and a
recess taken until evening.
The seats of the delegates from San
Francisco are contested by a rival dele
cation led by william Harvey. The con-
test is based on the fact that the dele
gates whose names have been placed
on the roll call were appointed by a
committee of 100, which derived its au-
thority to do so from the state central
committee. The Harvey delegates claim
that they were regularly elected at the
primaries. The conflict has its origin in
the struggle of rival factions for the
control of the democratic party in the
city Of San Francisco.
Congressman James ]. Mcguire, who
has already been nominated by the pop
u~lists. Will receive the nomination for
governor. There is no opposition to him
under a fusion compact with the pops
and silver republican parties. The
democratic convention will nominate
only so much of the state ticket as in
cludes the governor. one supreme court
justice, secretary of state, attorney
general, treasurer and state printer.
The populist nominations for lieuten-
ant governor. controller and school SUI
p~erintendent and the silver republican
nominations for one supreme court JUS
tice and clerk of the supreme court will
be endorsed.
Governor Budd called the convention
to order at 5 o'clock, and after the APP
pointment of committees on credentials
and on permanent organization and or
der of business. a recess was taken until
8 o'clock this evening.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Woman Found with Her Head Crushed
in n New York Hotel.

IN a new hork Hotel.
New York. Aug. 16.-Emlline c. Rey-
nolds, a young unmarried woman. about
p years of age, was found murdered in
the Grand hotel. at Thirty-first street
and Broadway. this city. to-day. Her
death had evidently resulted from re-
peated blows on the head with a piece
of lead pipe.
The crime had been committed some
time W midnight and 8 o'clock
this morning, but the police have not as
yet been able to definitely determine
whether the motive was one of robbery
or otherwise. though they are inclined
TO the former belief.
After some hours of investigation and
upon statements given by the mother OF
the dead girl, DIR. Samuel j. Kennedy,
a young dentist of this city. was ar
rested, and is being held on suspicion of
the murder. The fact that not only the
murdered woman was robbed. but an
other robbery was committed on the
same floor, incline the police to the be-
lief that the woman was killed in an
attempt to prevent the robbery.
The woman's head was beaten in with
a piece of gas pipe. The implement was
found lying at the side of the body.
Yesterday afternoon the girl, who rs 20
years of age, entered the hotel. regis
tered as "E. f. Maxwell and wife," and
was shown a room. Later she was seen
walking with a man, apparently 80 years
of age. About Z o'clock the couple left
the hotel, but the time of their return
is not known. The girls mother says
her daughter had drawn $500 from a
bank in the afternoon and II was her

done on her teeth. Theodore prevail,
chief Of police of Atlanta, who occupied
a room next to the girls, said he was
robbed of $3.50 during the night. The
case is very mysterious and the police
have no clew.
Another search of the clothing OF the
woman was made and a check on the
Garfield National bank for 5000 was
found, made out to Emma Reynolds
and signed by Dudley Johnson. At the
bank 1t was said that the check was
not good. Nine dollars In bills was
found under the woman's corset. One

ARE BURNING THE DEAD
Seven Hundred Spaniards Gre
mated at Santiago.
SOAKED WITH KEROSENE
Stacked in a Funeral Pile Ten Feet
Hish-The Natives Will Not Toll
at the Gruesome and Disa-
agreeable Work.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. Is. $50 p. M
The Sth Illinois arrived this afternoon
and will garrison and police the city.
The bodies of the dead Spaniards are
to be cremated. over 700 have been
burned so far. This afternoon 20 were
to be burned OVER two rails a dozen
bodies are stretched and across them
another dozen, and about 30 corpses are
stacked in a funeral pile 10 feet high.
The pile is then saturated with kero-
sene and the torch applied. A fall of
ain put out the fire. causing the bodies
to be only half burned. Around the
pile lay % collins, containing corpses in
a state of decomposition.
Several naked bodies were strewn on
the ground In a condition of putrefac-
ton. Altogether about 20 unburied and
unconsumed bodies were there. The
stencil was terrible. This happened at
a cemetery within the city limits. The
authorities and the cemetery officials
say it is impossible to get men to work
at the cremation. Wages of a dollar a
day prove no inducement to the natives
to work at this gruesome toll
The unconsumed bodies will be left
on the earth until tomorrow, when fine
weather may help the work of crema-
ton. These 20 corpses represent two
days dead from the Spanish camp. The
danger to the population from the
stencil, the presence of buzzards, vul-
lures and flies is i~ncalculable.

friends. had something further to say
about the tragedy i'm San Francisco.
He said he had received letters on Sat

er Joe home anyway.

to fight again had II not been that he
was the chief support OF the family.
He says that what he will make here
after will go to help support his broth
ers and sisters. Just as he gave funds
heretofore. He therefore says that Il
may be necessary for him to fight Nc
Coy in order to obtain money to sup
mort the family.
