UNION LEAGUE
Informal Gathering of
Republicans.

H. H. Kohlsaat, publisher Of the Chi
cago Times-Herald. was the guest OF
honor Yesterday afternoon a [ reception
rendered by the Union League Cluo. Inc

the less successful on that account, as the
attendance and the warmth of the vel
come attested.
President Chapman of the Union League
Climb spoke the few words of welcome and
introduced the distinguishes VISITOR VINO VINO
is said 10 be closer to President Mckinney
and the administration than any otleI
man in this country. Mr.. Chipman re-
ferred TO Chicago as the center OF Ihe

tarv things about prospective hand-to-
hand association between the representa-
tive cfty of the great lakes country and
California Concluding with warm

Republican party u.
Mr.. de Young was next on tne nst Oh Oh
few remarks Of welcome tor the CITY tilc
Union League Club and the press. IN the
body OF his discourse the editor OF the
Chronicle became facetious and told the
assembled guests that in one instance zee
MIR. Kohlsaat was like himself-that he
was not great as a speechmaker, but big
Morris NJ. Estee was then introduced,
and in a few well-chosen words made
what was decidedly the speech OF the day;
He WaXed eloquent over MS SuDJect anu
delved into the virtues of expansion, md
ing a panacea for every form of evil in
the new policy advocated so strongly by
the Times-Herald Of Chicago.

cifc Coast there are Republicans who are
in hearty accord with the administration
and they will be heard from at the COM
ing election"
Mr.. Kohlsaat, disclaiming any pretense
to oratorical ability, limited himself TO a
very few words, which expressed his
gratitude and thanks for the kindly recep-
ton accorded him by Californians. He
spoke of the hospitality Of the people Of
this State and the pleasure which he de-
rived from his visit.
II am no orator" said the editor of the
Times Herald, but 1 always, have. one

JUDGE HUNT ASTONISHED.
His Honor Ratified by an Action for
Persnnal DamapeS

For many months A Sohr and wife
have lodged in the Hotel Francisco, on
Turk and Taylor streets, and their land
lord, James King. has been moving in all
directions TO get the couple dislodged be-
cause Of the non-payment Of rent. Col
leCtors innumerable have tried TO get the
money due and have failed. The rent had
been raised, but TO no purpose. In fact,
all Of the eXpedients known to landlords
came to naught. At last the desperate
King decided to take the matter to the
courts, and he asked Attorney Abbott to
begin an action for unlawful detainer
When the case came up before Judge
Hunt yesterday Sohr was present, but
loaded with a cross s-complaint that fairly
made the Judge and Attorney Abbott
gasp for breath. Sohr asked the court
TO grant him $1,000 damages for personal
injuries to Mrs. Sohrs health
In the Cross-complaint he recited that
previous to their troubles Mrs. Sohr was
In perfect health; that on account of the
fear that the landlord and his emissaries
would remove the belongings of the Sohr
family his wife was compelled to remain
In her room for period Of six weeks. and
that this, combined with the demands Of
the landlord and collectors for money due
caused his wife to become afflicted with
heart disease. Nothing short Of $4,000 dam
ages would compensate for this injury to
the wonan's health.
After recovering his self-possession

JOHN |. DUNNE LOVED
UNWISELY AND TOO WELL
MRS. QUIMRY'S ADORER IN 4
DUNGEON KEEP.
Judge Conlan Stops His Ardent Woo
ing by Sending Him to Jail for
a Term Of Six Months.

John L. Dunno, a bother by occupation,
80 years of age. must pass the next six
months in prison or give bonds TO keep
the peace in the sum of $500. This is the
uiumatum of Judge Conlan. expressed
yesterday morning, when Dunnes case
came up before him for final trial
Dunno was arrested on the 18th of this
month on a complaint sworn out by Mrs
Josie QUimby, q dressmaker, who until
few days ago lived at III Clement ave
nue. Mrs. Quimby claimed that Dunno
came TO her house armed with a revolver
and threatened to take her life unless she
married him. Fearing that he would put
the threat into effect, she swore out the
warrant which resulted in his arrest.
The case came up for final hearing
yesterday morning, and now Dunno wishes
he hadn't shown such a desire for mat
rimonial entanglements. Six months are
his portion, or bonds for $500 10 keep the
peace. Dunno denies all the charges
brought against him. He says he never
felt matrimonially inclined when In the
presence Of Mrs. Quimby, especially as he
knew she was married The reason he
called on her, according to his declara-
tiors, was to secure a dress which she
was making for his niece.

THE VANDERBILT MILLIONS.
How the Immense Fortune Is Divided
Cornelius to Sever Relations
with Family.

New York, Oct. 27.-The provisions of
the will of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt
were made public Thursday night in a
statement by Chauncey M. Depew. AL
fred Gwynne Vanderbilt inherits the
larger portion of his fathers fortune
and becomes practically the head of the
Vanderbilt family. The will makes no
mention of the marriage of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr., TO Miss Wilson, nor to
any quarrel between father and son be-
cause of the union, but apparently the
fathers displeasure was visited upon
the eldest son, he receiving. all told, I'M
der the terms of the will, but 81 800 900,
and $1,000000 of this held in trust by
the executors. Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt is, of course, the residuary legatee.
and will possess a fortune of probably
$40, 100000 to S50,000.0OO. Gladys, Reg
inald and Gertrude Mrs. Harry PAYNE
Whitney, will receive about $500, 900
each.
Out of the spirit of affection and for
the purpose of satisfying all OF the
members of the family. Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt gives his brother Cornelius
enough of his inheritance to make his
fortune equal to that of the other mem
bers. namely, S7,5o0,O00. Senator De-
pew says that Cornelius Vanderbilt has
accepted this arrangement in the spirit
in which il was offered.
The will does not contain schedule
of property, and no estimate can he
formed of the value of the estate except
in very general way. II may be
months before the appraisers complete
their work, but those who are most ia
miliar with the affairs of the late Mr..
Vanderbilt say that the fortune is very
near to $4,000 900
New York, Oct. 2S.-Cornslus Van
derbilt, has resigned his position with
the New York Central Railway COM
pany and will henceforth have no inter-
course, socially or in business. with the
members of his family. lie bitterly re-
sents the implication that he is the
beneficiary of his brothers generosity.
He is equally emphatic in the state
ment thai the settlement was forced
by him or the alternative of n contest,
and that the $6,O00.000 added to his in
heritance was in no sense a gift, but
simply tho price of a noncontested will.
The man who sacrificed so much for the
love of Grace Wilson will go into the
banking business with his wife's IA
Their. II. Il. Wilson, and henceforth the
parting OF the ways between young
Cornelius and the members of his fam
lily will be more marked than ever.

accuracy against the British guns. An ac-
ton lasting six hours ensued at Rietfontein

STATE OF TRADE.

ms Viewed by Leading Amer
lean Agencies.

New York, Oct. 2S.-R. G.. Dun & Co.
weekly review of trade says: Fears and
not facts made a war in South Africa seem
menace to prosperity here. and week
of conflict has cleared away the fear.
British markets for securities have been
helped by the belief that mining shares
would be worth more with no Boer con-
troll in mining regions, and large purchases
here OF ammunition, packed meats and
other army food have swelled the balance
due this country. Money markets have
grown less embarrassing, stocks have
gradually advanced. industries are still
supported by a volume of demand for
which no precedent can be found and pay
ments through the principal clearing
houses for the past week have been 36.6
per cent. larger than last year and 57.3 per
cent. larger than in 1892. So great an In
crease shows the net result of many and
potent forces making for public prosper
lily.
THE heaviest transactions In steel rails
ever made so early cover 100000 tons for
next years delivery, or two-thirds OF the
entire annual capacity of the works. The
pennsylvania is said to have taken 10000
tons at 1913, but all the leading railroads
made large purchases, and the price was
then advanced to S35 per ton, the same
works having delivered during the past year
at SIS to $l9. For structural works many or
ders appear. including some of consequence
for the east and for Cuba.
Wheat remains practically unchanged.
while Atlantic exports, flour included, have
been l2,932,Sn bushels in four weeks, against
13,4S3.056 last year, and Pacific exports
2197,7T1, against 312i,306 last year. West
ern receipts fall short and in four
weeks have been only 30,022,053 BUSH
els, against 4O,ljO.699 last year With
out concert there is probably some
waiting for better prices by farmers. Corn
exports continue to show the magnitude
of foreign demand for breadstuffs, reaching
H,41S7l9 bushels. against S5i6.5i3 last year.
and the demand has been large enough to
advance the price Ia cents.
