force of partisanshlp. There is hardly
a man on the ticket fit for the Office for
which he is nominated. We believe
the republican party will have little
difficulty in finding better men for
every position. If it does we bespeak
for Its nominees the support Of every
lover of good government.
Mr.. Whites Speech
Fred White spoke on Saturday night
to one of the noisiest, most lnattentive
crowds that ever filled the opera house.
Mr.. White IS tiresome speaker and
the democrats were tired after the
events of the day and some Of them
had been celebrating little too freely.
White devoted most of his time to
what ssShaw said.'' He discovered
famines in Europe for the past few
years to account for Mckinley times.
His speech was particularly edifying to
those silver-republicans who claimed
not two years ago that they agreed
with republican principles in every
thing except silver. About two min
utes of his speech was devoted to the
subject on which these men left the re-
publican fold. A large portion of his
speech was devoted to eulogy of his
friend 'tAggy" and to bombastics boast
ing of his soldier record. Maj. Lacey
will reply to Mr.. White tomorrow
afternoon and we hope all who can will
listen to his rebuttal of Mr. Whites So
called argument.

PARIS, Oct. 3.-La Frohde publishes
the report Of an interview with Prof.
Calmette, the Pasteur institute COM
missioner, who has returned from
Oporto, in which the professor says
that before his arrival the mortality
among those stricken with the plague
amounted to 33 per cent. Of 10 treated
with the serum, he adds, not one died.
This restored public confidence and in
three days he inoculated 423 persons.

THE DEMOCRATIC cAucusEs.

The democratic caucuses on Friday
night have nearly been lost sight of in
the larger events of Saturday, but
nevertheless they were pretty warm
affairs.
In. the first ward both sides had
printed tickets. The Shaw Van ticket
consisting of VIM Rouilliard, Phi.
Schlumberger and Shaw Van defeated
the opposition ticket composed of Gary,
Faul and Rouilliard by vote of 16 to
IL. There was warm dispute over
the ward commltteeship. While Shaw
Van was attempting to nominate
Schlumberger, Gary broke in and nom-
mated Faul. Upon chairman Schlum-
berger refusing to entertain either mo-
ton and insisting on ballot, Faul got
mad and said he didn't give dam
who they elected, he would not serve.
h. also rnayks'ii that st the DutsN
would punch Shaw Van on Saturday.
| "A ballot was taken and Faul was,
elected, word from Gary made him
change his mind about serving and he
accepted.
In the second ward it was agreed be-
fore hand that the candidates should
select the delegates. A printed ticket
was prepared on which we're the names
of Chas. Bullock and James Mcguire.
i Mcclure said he could not serve and SO
a motion prevailed that the candidates
retire to select delegates. Jones had
for some reason made up his mind that
Bullock was against him and he was
left off the delegation. Mr.. Caswell
was also left off as neither Jones nor
Lorenzen were willing to trust him.
The delegates were Ivens, Wieland,
Rhodenbaugh jr., Detlefsen and John
/, Jones.
J In the third ward the Shaw Van men
had prepared to make fight. but they
. were out-generalled by the Romans
3 forces by a motion to allow the candi
: dates to select the delegation. The
Q chosen ones were Romans, Cassaday
r Stueber, Mundt and Flint. The v0tt

Mckinley Greets the Admiral.
Secretary Long invited the admiral to
accompany him to the presidents
library. The members of the cabinet
had assembled in the cabinet room,
while the president was alone in the
library adjoining. AS Secretary Long
entered with the admiral, the president
came forward to greet the famous sailor

hearty welcome.
The admiral acknowledged the cor
dial sentiments expressed by the presi-
dent, and then asked as to the health Of
Mrs. Mckinley, saying he heard with
eat regret that she had not been we'll.
In reply the president suggested. that
the admiral meet Mrs. Mckinley. They

admiral was presented, and from Mrs.
Mckinley as we'll as from the president

The greetings with the cabinet were
brief and to the point. The president
and Admiral Dewey headed the party
toward hereviewing stand. The crowd
seemed to know that the hero was APP
proaching, Tor a great wave of cheer
ing went up. The admiral frequently
bowed his Acknowledgements. The
president and Admiral Dewey were
joined at the front of the stand by Sec
retaries sHay, Root, Hitchcock and Will
son. As the cheering at length died
away the admiral turned to Mr.. Nc
Kinley and the two seating themselves
entered in a conversation while await
ing the procession. The head of the
civic parade which had been arranged
in honor of the admiral began to pass
in review before him shortly after s
o'clock. There We're many novel and

GENERAL NEGRIER Is
REDUCED IN RANK
Criticized the Action Of the Govern
ment in the Rennes
Trial

PARIS, July 25-The Ministerial
Council decided to-day to dismiss Gen
eral Negrier from the offices of army
inspector and member of the Superior
Council of War, thus reducing him to
the mere rank of general of division.
The motive for this exceptional meas
ure, so far made public. is that
General Negrier publicly used language
incompatible with discipline.
The anti-Dreyfusard journal LIE
Soir attributes it to spitework on the
part of General Gallifet, because Gen
eral Negrier refused to attend the min
isterial dinner party,
The real cause of his dismissal was
that he criticized the action of the Gov
ernment and instructed the generals
whom he was addressing to tell the Of
ficers under them that this state of
things could not last and that the
Rennes trial must be allowed to finish.
but when that question was settled
the Superior Council of War would call
upon the Government to protect the
army against attacks. and if the Gov
ernment did not act, the Council Of
War would see to 1t.

MILL VALLEY, July 25.-While

San Francisco yesterday and rented
4he Tipping cottage. Late in the after
noon her two little girls, one aged u
and the other 5, had started for a walk
up Mount Tamalpais and they had not
Vet returned. She besought the officer
TO go in search of them without loss of
time.
Running to the schoolhouse McDon-
aid sounded the alarm bell and in a few
minutes almost the whole male popu-
lation of the town responded Dividing
into parties the citizens procured Ian
terms and began the search for the chill
dren. In the meantime Walter Scholl,
who has charge of the mountain OBJ
servatory. was notified by telephone
and sent his st. Bernard dog out 20 aid
in the search.
For an hour the women Of the COM
munity, who were trying to console the
anxious mother watched the lantern
signals passing between the searching
parties. AT midnight the st. Bernard
discovered the children halfway up the
mountain, near the water tanks. They
had wandered around for six hours
and, becoming exhausted laid down
and cried themselves to sleep. The
barking of the noble animal drew one
of the parties, headed by DR.. John J..
SpottisWood, to the scene and the chill
dren were soon restored to their moth
er'S arms.

"I first visited the DOolittle camp in the
latter part of June and exhibited for his
