A BRIGHT, BREEZY TALK
WITH MR.. FEATHER,

The Handsome Prohibition Candi-
date For Governor Says He's
Making His Fight For
Principle.

Mr.. &. G. Featherstone, the
Prohibition candidate for governor
was seen at the Hotel jerome last
night. He is on his way from

business since the campaign
meeting at Charleston, to Barn.

meeting today.
He was asked by the State re-
porter: "What is the news from
Prohibition standpoint!'
81 don't know that | have any
great deal. You can say, how ever
that the Prohibitionist all over the
STATE mean business. They are
in this fight to win, and they are
going to win if pluck and advocacy
of the right can win. They are
sick and tired of the whiskey traf.

They n g opposed to the sale of
whiskey in any shape, form or ia
shion. They think is it Just rs
wrong for the State to engage in
the business as for individuals to
do so. They are opposed to high
license as we'll as the dispensary.
They are making the fight on
principle. A few years ago they
voted prohibition, and it carried
the state. They were given the
dispensary, and they have never
gotten over it."

CHARLES S. TlLTON.
n1eanF

II OR the Office OF City and County Surveyor the
| Republicans have renominated the incumbent,
L Charles S. Tilton, thereby giving the people
oDnortnity to retain in Office one of the best officials
San Francisco has had OF this opportunity
men who desire an efficient administration OF the
Surveyors Office will avail themselves without re-
gard to party lines, although Mr. Tiltons stanch Re
publicanism will be another argument why all loyal
members of that party should not only vote for him
but work for him.
Mr. Tilton came to San Francisco in his boyhood
and was educated at our public schools, graduating
from the High School He served for long period
as clerk in the office of the City and County Sur
veyor and was for considerable time chief deputy
of the office before he became candidate tor cleo
ton He had thus made himself perfectly familiar
with the duties of the position before he aspred to
fill it. and as consequence from the very beginning
his administration was one of complete success in
every respect.
At the present time Mr.. Titon knows every line
of our city and county survey by heart. No other
man could attend to the duties of the office with half
his efficiency matter how earnestly he might at
tempt it. for other has that thorough knowledge
of the subject which Mr.. Tton possesses
1t will be recognized by all intelligent citizens that
this special store of information concerning the work
required of the incumbent of the Office is matter of
prime importance to the Surveyor. 1t is also of i'm
portance to the community Bungling work, whether
due to careessness incompetence or ignorance,
would cost the city dearly in the Surveyors office.
During the long time in which Mr., Tilton has
been identified with the work of the city and county
surveys there has been scandal connected with
his his acts He has not only been capable
of good work, but he has been faithful in the per-
Torrance of it. He is known to the people They
have him tested in private and in public life and
70 haf a1;oh1 To,
past the community has shown its confidence in him
by repeated collections and it be doubted the
confidence will be displayed again in the
same way this year

correspondent telegraphs: ION the arrival
of Kang Yuwei at Wa Hung he was
placed for safety on board the steamer
Ballarat, which sails for Hong Kong to-
morrow. In the course of an interview
yesterday he informed me that he left
Pekin on Tuesday in compliance with a
secret message from the Emperor warning
him of his danger and urging him to OBJ
tain assistance from those interested in
the country's welfare. He further stated
that recent events were entirely due to
the action of the Manchu party headed
by the Dowager Empress and Viceroy
Yung Lu, and including all the high
Manchu officials. The latter was displeas-
ed by the Emperor's leaning toward the
reform party and decided to restore the
regency of the Dowager.
''The Dowager Empress party Is bound
by an understanding with the Russians
whereby the latter, in consideration of the
support of the Russian interests, under
taly kr ha of
the dynasty, and 10 maintain Manchu rule
in China. In pursuance of this compact
the gradual substitution of Manchus in
all high offices and military commands
began last year under the direction of
the Dowager, thus creating sources of
friction with the Emperor. whose de-
thronement was frequently threatened.
The present movement is entirely Man

Of Ii Hung Chang is now subordinate to
that of Yung Lu, and is likely to decrease,

his capacity for work and eagerness for
progress are remarkable. His majesty is
convinced, however, that it will be impos

the assistance of England, which he en-
deavored to ohtain for his recent pro-
gressive measures
