SCHOONER SINKS
At STOCKTON
Mishap to the Energy,
Wheat Laden.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Oct 3O.-The schooner En-
ergy, with 900 sacks of choice milling
wheat on board sunk st 3 o'clock this
morning in Stockton Channel, just op-
posite the western end of the Union
Transportation Companys shed. There
are several reports as TO what caused the
vessel to sink The crew of the Energy
claim that rain soaked into the deckload
of wheat and added so much weight that
the vessel was unable to float. Others
claim that the schooner leaked. 1t is de-
cleared that she had on cargo Weighing
between sixty and seventy tons, notwith-
standing that her registered tonnage is
but slightly over fifty.
The schooner arrived in the channel at
about o'clock last evening In tow of the
tug Rush. The vessel tied up at the South
Wharf, but the captain of the schooner
found, on sounding. that the water was
so shallow next to the wharf that when
the tide fell the boat would ground and
possibly capsize. He therefore moved the
Energy to the middle Of the channel and
anchored.
But one Of the crew was on the vessel
when she went down. He was in the cab
in and narrowly escaped drowning. Had
the water in the channel been q few feet
deeper the sailor would not have escaped.
AS 1t was the top and companionway of
the house of the schooner were not en-
tirely submerged
The wheat belong to Jacob Simon and
was being shipped to the Sheperd Doyle
Company for storage. The wheat swelled
so that many of the sacks burst open. A
barge was towed alongside the sunken
ferring the grain from the schooner COM

Tricky Plan to Get Interstate Commissioner
Who Should Represent Huntington's
Interest and Not the Coasts.

that the coast should have a representa-
tive on the commission
More than one merchant who happened
to be trustee or president Of local or
ganization of commercial or industrial
standing was asked whether he ob)eCted
to having his official connection added
10 his name on the petition. Merchants
did not know that there would be any
other candidate in the field. They per
mitted their names 10 be signed as ON
cials.
Thus the railroad appeared to have
gained the Endorsement Of several organ
izations. when 1t really had only indiN'd-
ual signatures. one organization Whicn n
thus was signed up, the signer having
been misled, has since indorsed Mr..
Wheeler as a body. The president OF an
other organization signed as an indiVld-
ual, but on the petition the institution or
which he is the official head was made
to appear to indOrse Chapman as body.
Days passed and the Chipman petition
was secretly circulated, and the great
mercantile body of the Pacific Coast was
In entire ignorance of what was going on.
Then the fact was fully realized that q
sneakthief trick had been played on them
The two business men who had called
upon Mr. Stubs saw that he had used
them only to pull his chestnuts out OF the
fire. Courtesy of the most common sort
have been notified if Mr Stubbs had, as
he described his act at the meeting in the
yellow 'knoCkery' last week, nominated
General Chapman. They were as fully in
the dark as were all the other merchants
and manufacturers of the coast
1t Is still the Southern Pacific Company
against the entire business interests of
the Pacific Coast in the matter of the
vacancy on the Interstate Commerce
Commission Yesterday communication
was received from the Seattle Chamber OF
Commerce by the Pacific Coast Jobbers
and Manufacturers Association. This
was signed by Thomas w. Prosch, secre-
tary. The text was as follows: Ihls
Chamber of Commerce has recommended
William r. Wheeler to the four members
of Congress representing US at Washing
ton D. c., for appointment as member Of

BUSINESS MAN WANTED.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30.-Notwithstand-
ing the Endorsement of ". r. Wheeler Of
San Francisco by the Pacific Coast job
bers' and Manufacturers Association to
represent the coast States on the Inter
state Commerce Commission and his
backing of the Portland Chamber Of Com
merce, 1t is understood in commercial cir
cles in this city that the present compli-
Gated position the matter has assumed
may end in no appointment being made
from this coast. The Los Angeles COM
mercial bodies are a unit for Wheeler, but
to-day they are informed that General n.
p. Chipman of Red Bluff is in the running
and that he is groomed by the Southern
Pacific. The matter is further Compli-
Gated by the action of the San Francisco
Manufacturers and Producers Associa-
ton that first indOrsed Chipman by
adopting resolutions favorable to Chip
man, while to-day a letter is received
from the same body containing resOlu-
tions Commending Wheeler. The contest
according to the Los Angeles contingent
appears to be resolving itself into one of
the hammering affairs for which Califor-
usually end in the aspirations Of the coast
being defeated.
A prominent wholesaler tonight when
asked to give an opinion said: "A polit-
iCal string is behind this matter. If the
Los Angeles business men are willing to
trust Wheeler our representatives can af-
ford TO do so. AS we are warning with
the Southern Pacific and other roads we
ask for a plain business man, one who
knows his business and who does not play
into the hands of the corporations.

WHEELER INDORSED.
Two Thousand Santa Clara
Republicans Voice Their
Sentiments,

SAN JOSE, Oct. SO-The Republican
Good Government League of Santa Clara.
which represents over 2000 Republican
voters, at well attended meeting passed
a resolution indorsing William R.
Wheeler for the vacancy existing in the
Interstate Commerce Commission. It was
urged that the Pacific Coast needed a
representative in that body. The follow
ing resolution was passed unanimously:
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the ap-
pontment Of William r. Wheeler Of San Fran
cisco as a member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. believing said appointment to be
in the interests Of good government and the
future Of our Golden West
Copies Of the resolution will be sent to
the President and TO the Congressional
delegation representing California
The Good Government League is made
up largely Of orchardists, vineyardists
and farmers, and the resolution shows
the sentiments Of these classes.
A motion was also carried against the
holding Of a special session Of the Legis-
lature for the purpose of electing a United
States Senator as 1t was feared that Dan
Burns or some other unsuitable person
would be elected.

FREIGHT RATES
TO THE ORIENT
SHOWED UPWARD
The Roads Want More
Money.

Some time ago the different transcon-
tinental roads, inspired by the Southern
Pacific Company. decided to raise the
rates on all the principal commodities
shipped out of this country TO the great
distributing points In the Orient. This
was to be accomplished by an agreement
entered into between the various roads
and their ocean steamship connections,
and the only reason for the move was
TO be found in the increased business be-
ing done between the United States and
the Eastern world and the situation
which, since the commencement of the
war has been lack Of vessels for char
ter This scarcity of bottoms has placed
the merchants in a position OF being
obliged to accept any additional burden
that the roads decide TO place upon them,
for the reason that they control the only
means Of getting the goods, which, in
many cases have been already sold, to
the markets for which they are destined.
AS many of these sales were based on
the old schedule of freight rates it is easy
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-31
POLITICAL.
CITIZENS
NOM PARTISAN
PARTY.
FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.

To the Voters of San Francisco; The Non
Partisan party was organized seven years ago
TO wrest from professional politicians the con-
troll of municipal affairs and TO separate en-
tirely from national politics the se4ectlon or
city and county officials.
1t has at all times opposed machine pontics'
and sought to elect worthy men TO o11lce Dy IN
dependent nomination Endorsement
The last Legislature passed law expressly
aimed at the ''unwelcome interference in
public affairs of non partisan organizations.
The Rickard act forbds any information on the
ballot concerning the Endorsements that a can
dldate may receive and makes II impossible for
to be nominated by two parties such
a creditable occurrence as the nomination last
year by the two great parties of John Lack
mann for Supervisor could not be repeated.
We regard this law pernictous In principle
and against public policy, and we intend to
vigorously contest 1t.
The adoption of a non partisan charter. the
result of the last primary election, and the in
dependent character of the recent Republican
and Democratic conventions, clearly indicate
however that the friends Of good government
have awakened TO. their duties.
With these changed conditions we feel that
there is no occasion for an entire Non Partisan
ticket at this election.
It is however, a fundamental principle o.
this party to support those nominees who have
faithfully and fearessly filled their Offices and
are renominated for the same office. We would
fail in obligations were We to leave this
work undone.
We therefore unqualihedly recommend for
your suffrage at the coming election:
