URGE UNION OF SILVER MEN. Butler, Patterson, Simpson and Bell
 Speak at Populist Picnic.

DENVER, Aug. z5.-A basket picnic was held this afternoon and tonight at Elitch's Gardens under the auspices of the leaders of the Populist party of Colo rado. At the meeting this afternoon Sen- ator Marion c. Butler of North Carolina, national chairman of the Peoples party was principal speaker. Hon. T.. M. Pat terson, proprietor of the Rocky Mountain News, acted as chairman of the meeting In his opening remarks Patterson favored united action by all silver forces until the money question is settled.
 Senator Butler devoted most of his ad- dress to urging cooperation between his party and all other friends of silver in the coming campaign
 Hon. Jerry Simpson of Kansas was the principal speaker at the night meeting. He congratulated the Peoples party on its progress and the fact that many of It's creeds had been adopted by the Demo- crats and were even becoming popular with members of other parties. He had no regard for a mere party name and cared only for the principles it stood for He believed 1t the duty of Populists to join with all other friends of free silver to secure the party's aims in that respect and then go on in the fight for the other principles of the party.
 Simpson was followed by Hon. John c. Bell Congressman from Colorado who also urged union of the silver forces.

CONNECTING HAWAIIAN
 ISLANDS BY CABLE
Volunteer Engineers Will Aid in the Development of the Pro-
 posed System.

HONOLULU, Aug. 1S.-There is soon to be telegraphic communication between the islands of this group. A cable connecting the islands with one another is to be laid almost immediately One of the first duties of the Engineer Corps that is here now-the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment United States Volunteer Engi- neers-will be the construction of this in- terisland cable system The general plans for 1t have already been adopted by the War Department, and the material, if not actually contracted, has been ar ranged for.
 The fact that the Government intends to proceed at once with this work is pretty conclusive evidence that the fran chise for a cable from the Pacific Coast 10 Honolulu will not be delayed. This fact. together with others, makes 1t pos sible to count on cable communication with the world within as reasonably short a time as such big work can be accom- nIfShad

AN OLD SAN QUENTIN BIRD
San Rafael Officers and Secret Service Agents Confident They Will Capture All of the
 Crooks.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 25.-The iden- tity of the counterfeiter who for three months has followed his illegal pursuit in a ravipe on the north side of San Rafael hill has now been fully estab lished by Secret Service Agent Brown. and it is believed that it will be only short time until he is in the clutches of the law. The name of the man is Charles Irwin, and he is an old of fender, having been in San Quentin no less than four times within the last fif teen years. The last two times Irwin was sent to the prison by the Federal courts for showing the queer" His last term was for two years, and he has not been out of custody for much more than a year.
 Through the efforts of Constable Louis Hughes and Deputy Constable Trainor, who have aided the United States Secret Service officers, the fact has been developed that in this in- stance Irwin has not conducted his un- lawful work alone, but has probably been at the head of well organized gang So much spurious coin has been circulated that it is believed Irwin must have taken his product to San Francisco and had it distributed by the others. Doubtless much of the money found it's way back into this county through the medium of the poolrooms at Sausalito.
 Another reason for this belief Is the discovery of the photograph found among Irwin's effects. which was at first believed to be Irwin himself, but is now thought to be that of one of his pals" This ''pal' was frequently seen to drive up the rough road to the ra- vine with horse and cart, by which means the money was probably taken to the metropolis.
 Either this companion or Irwin him.

self must have been almost within the clutches of Constable Trainor yester- day, but the latter was ignorant of the fact. When Trainor first visited the mountain fastnesses of the counter feiter set of buggy harness hung on an oak tree. When he returned after taking the outfit to the Sheriff's office this harness had disappeared. It is evident that the malefactor took warn ing and vanished. taking the harness with him. The harness itself was prob ably a set stolen from the barn of a citizen named Duffy about two weeks ago.
 The county authorities are keeping a sharp lookout for both men on this side of the bay, but they have probably taken warning and will endeavor to get out of the State. Secret, service agents, aided by the police, are now searching for Irwin at all his known haunts, while the outgoing trains and steamers are closely watched by off, cers having in their possession an ac- curate description of the old offender. What hidden information the authori- ties have cannot of course be obtained, but that they are confident of capturing Irwin and running the whole gang to earth is evident from the language of Under Sheriff Cottingham.
 We have him spotted he said, and will have him by tomorrow, sure"

 It is without notable regret that visitors take leave of the capital with its salubrious cline, its crowds and it's genial crfckets. The gayly decorated pavilion is losing its color The echoes of eloquence have died from among it's rafters, the flags no longer fiutter in the blast of the electric fan. All who have attended the two conventions will remember the experience and pray not to undergo it soon again.
 Heretofore have spoken of the con- test discernible in a view of the pair of events. It was to the end remark able. I can only understand it by the hypothesis that the Democrats look forward to defeat and the Republicans to the pleasing duty of inf1icting it.

BRINGS AM INJUNCTION SUIT
Organ of the Gang Devotes Page to the Garden City's High School and the Merits of its
 Teachers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 25.-A new tack has been taken to head off the striking pu- pills, who are determined to attend the Santa Clara High School. In the action of the scholars of the High School the gang sees the beginning of a trouble that will largely tend to their defeat About half of the old pupils are going to Santa Clara and several thousand dollars annually will thus be diverted from the business men of this city
 The gang organ, the Mercury, this morning devotes a whole page to the new High School and the merits of the teachers. Interviews are published with graduates of the school testifying to the high merits of the institution. On another page is an article telling of the enjofning of the trustees of the Santa Clara High School from using money from a certain fund to fit up their school.
 Boss" Rea's work is plainly discern ible in both articles, and it Is but an attempt to drive the students back to the local school
 The suit in question is that of Morrill, w. Henderson vs. D. Henderson, G. w.. Fowler, l.. M. Kimberlin, G. H. Worrall and c. E. Moore. In the complaint plaintiff alleges that defendants are using State and county school funds to furnish the High School at Santa Clara and asks that they be enjoined from using such funds.
 This suit was brought at the instance of Boss Req and in the hope that 1t may prove a barrier to the improve ment of the school so as to accommo- date the new pupils. While the law provides that only high school funds shall be used for such purposes the other funds have been used in this county for years. No objection was made as long as gang trustees were using the money.
 It has just leaked out that the ap- pointment of B. D. Wfgle as instructor of chemistry and assistant instructor of mathematics in the high school was at the instance of Boss Req. Two years ago Req threw Hichborn, newspaper man. out of a Republican meeting. Hichborn ran weekly paper and had been exposing the crookedness of the gang. Hichborn was refused a warrant for Rea's arrest for battery in this city, and finally secured a warrant from Justice Wigle at Palo Alto. That Jus tice later threw the case out of court. For this reason, 1t Is asserted the boss secured the appointment of the Jus tice's brother in the high school.

ASHFIELD, Mass, Aug. 25.-The twentieth annual dinner in aid of the Sanderson Academy was given this af- ternoon with Charles Eliot Norton. president emeritus of fine arts of liar ward, University, presiding.
 The principal address was by Profes- sor Norton, who devoted himself to a discussion of the late war. He referred to the academys prosperity during the year, and continued as follows: And yet our hearts have been heavy with new weight of care and the very brightness of the sunshine has but deepened by contrast the cloud of our sorrowful thoughts-sorrowful that our nation should have turned its back upon its old ideals and, standing at the parting ways, should have chosen the ancient path, familiar to the old world worn by the bloody feet of hapless gen erations and which has never led to anything but ill-the path of aggres- sive war, of foreign conquest, ot alien territorial aggrandizement, the path that leads from trouble to trouble.
 ..The black and brutal visage Of war has indeed been lighted up rom tune to time during the summer by the gal lant deeds of our men in serVlce, anu
 
 good fortune of our navy and by the general temper of humanity displayed so soon as the actual fight was over by both officers and men. But IL mas taken on a deeper shade of gloom from the needless sufferings which our brave soldiers have had to endure from the lack of due provision for their needs alike in camp, on field and in hospital If has been a miserable spectacle or incompetency, for which account must be rendered and penalty exacted:
 After a review of the events leading up to the war, Professor Norton salu'
 Peace has nominally come. The ac- tual conflict has ended, but less than 100 days of war has resulted in reyo- lution in the United States. The foun- dations on which the republic has rested have become unsettled. The principles upon which the Government depends have been violated. We have undertaken obligations which neither our institutions nor our national char acter enable us properly to discharge; we, the one great n-military power Tn the world, have suddenly joined the ranks of the nations burdened with great armies and navies; we have loaded ourselves with an enormous ad- ditional debt and with an enormous in crease of annual expenditure, perma- nent oppressive tax upon the industry of the people, and whatever disposition may be made of the Philippines, we are already, through holding them and claiming the right to dispose of them, brought into entangling relations with the nations of the world. and run the risk of losing the inestimabie boon which has hitherto been ours, of free dom from the complications of the inter national politics of the old world and of remaining the independent masters of our own fortunes It Is, indeed. mo- mentous revolution"

 MT. Misley said that the contents of his letter from the dead should never be made known, as 1t threw no light upon the cause and contained a simple and tender message to him and the girls par ents, and there was nothing in her let ters, said MT. Misey, that would indicate any trouble caused by an affair of love.
 Now that the girl is dead" said MT. Misley, i've can recall that of late she had been acting strangely. I believe that she became Respondent over Ill health" ;"
