THE PoPULIsT CONFLICT.
Charges Preferred Against DR.. Girls
wold, George A. Clough and
Garrett W. Smith.

The latest development in the troubles
of the Populists is a communication to the
officers and members of the county COM
mittee of that political organization pre-
ferring charges against DR.. w. N Girls
wold, George A. Ciough and Garrett w.
Smith These three members of the Peo-
pies party are accused of circulating and
promulgating false and misleading state
ments regarding the conduct and manage
ment Of the last campaign, scandalizing
the members, disgracing the party and
stirring up discord and strife.
The principal offense of the three per-
sons was saying that the purity of cleo
tions committee of the Peoples party had
corruptly disbursed money intrusted to
its care and that its members were conse
quently guilty of felony.
Accompanying the communication con-
tanning the charges is a copy of the
adopted minority report of the executive
committee, which on February IA. 1899 in
vestigated the purity of elections commit
tee. In this minority report is an item
lied statement of the Campaign funds
amounting to 1887 ST. with receipts and
expenditures, followed by a statement
that the executive committee found the
accounts of the purity of elections com
mittee correct and proper in every partic.
ular, and that said committee discharged
its duty in a perfectly honest and salts
factory manner.

AN EASTERN DELUSION.

c EVERAL times of late we have had occasion to
direct attention to the persstency with which
- the press of Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia reiterae the statements that there is an over
supply OF capital in the United States, that there
no longer opportunities for its profitable at home
and that capitalists must seek investments abroad
The New York Commercial Advertiser is the la
offender in that unrehecting In commenting
recently upon the proposed establishment OF cotton
mills in Venezuela by American capital it said:
"The United States has reached stage OF industrial
development where British example in this respect is
forcing itself on American attention American capi-
tai has become abundant and American production
has so outstripped domestic consumption that new
fields of enterprise imperative This is the mean
ing of the project for cotton mills in Venezuela. 1t
is case OF necessity
The error contained in that statement is vast that

Many Recruits Arriving at the Pre-

tation to Manila Opened
Yesterday.

The adjutant general of the department
was officially notified that the Ninth In
fantry left Madison barracks, New York
on Tuesday morning for San Francisco
The regiment will arrive here about the
last of this week or the first of next. II
is commanded by Colonel William II
Powell and during the last war won for
itself an honorable record in Cuba, par
ticipating in the Santiago campaign. An
erroneous idea was disseminated through
the medium of the afternoon press to the
effect that the Ninth is coming here to
be sent to the Philippines. This is denied
by the officers at department headquar-
ters. The regiment comes here to take
the place Of the First Infantry and to do
garrison duty on this coast. Four COM
panies go to the Presidio, two to Van
couVeF barracks headquarters and two
companies to Angel Island, one company
to Benicia, while the other company is yet
to be assigned.
The advent Of the Ninth to the Preside
and the surrounding posts in the harbor
will have the effect of stirring up the
social life of the garrison and there is no
douDt that the officers of the Ninth and
their families, since they come here to
make San Francisco their home, will be
of this city.
The new army bill as Just passed by
Congress has thrown all the officers of
this department into a sea of speculation.
None of them seem TO exactly understand
1t clearly, and they are waiting for the
tull text from Washington with such eX-
plantations as the War Department will
send.
The matter of promotion under the new
bill is the question of greatest interest
to the regular army officers and they are
not certain as to how its provisions will
affect them. Some will be, of course, pro-
NOTED, while others will be affected by a
reduction of pay.
One of the officers who will be promoted
is First Lieutenant David J. Rumbough,
now stationed at the Presidio. He will
give general satisfaction, as he is one of
the best known and most popular Off
GERS serving here. He was appointed to
the Military Academy in 1876 from Vir-
ginia and graduated four years later. He
has seen constant service in the Third Ar
tillery and, besides, is graduate of the
School of Artillery. BY his efficiency he
has won the highest respect of all of his
superior officers. Major David II. Kin
zie of the Third Artillery is another who
Will be promoted. He will be made lieu
tenant colonel and in all probability will
go TO some other regiment.
Since the Presidio has been the receiv-
ing station for all recruits they are gath
the country. There are now at this sta
ton over $50 of these soldiers. They have
all been carefully Vaccinated.
Bids were opened yesterday noon for
the transportation of 1900 tons of miscel-
laheous stores to Manila Uncle Sam is

sworn to complaint charging Louis &

to animals. Kracke manages the City
Transfer Con1pany's business at 81 Bush

he starves his horses so that they are

he has starved one horse to death. the
