a good, clear voice and held the au-
dience to the end. He called attention
to the campaign of 1892, and said~that
this campaign is like it. Then, he said,
the Democrats said to the voter: Put
us in power and we will tear down this
Republican protection, and then you
can buy a suit of clothes for one-half
what you are now paying" You can
remember" he said, what happened
after the election Of 1892, when we
found Cleveland in the Presidents
chair and a Democratic Congress. You
know what hard times the country had
during Cleveland's administration"
McLachlan recalled how the admin
istration of Harrison paid off more than
a quarter Of billion of the national
debt, and how under the next Demo-
cratic administration the nation went
over a quarter of a billion in debt
When Mckinley assumed the reins,
said the speaker, and protective
tariff was established, Immediately the
prosperity returned.
McLachlan then described the efforts
to defeat the Dingley bill. He said he
was employed by the Chamber of Com
merce of Los Angeles County to stay
in Washington to look after the inter
ests of the producers of Barlow's dis
trict when the Dingley bill was framed.
The bill was passed, said McLachlan,
but he had to sit up in the gallery In
the House of Representatives when 1t
came up and see his Congressman
vote against it. He then urged the
voters of this district to stand by Dun
nd
to washington, or they might find
themselves in Just the same position as
the voters in the old Sixth during the
tariff revision.
The meeting was closed by three
rousing cheers for Roosevelt and FAIR

Charles Edelman, candidate for the

quartet was applauded and then, with
three cheers for Parker and Davis,

Junk DEALER
HAS HIS ASHES
Remains of Robert Haup-
stuck of Alameda Offered
at Auction in Omaha Shop
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OMAHA, Oct. 14.-Though he has
been dead for ten months. the ashes
of Robert Haupstuck, late of Alameda,
Cal, are not permitted to rest in
peace. They are now in the hands of
a junk dealer here, who refuses to part
with them.
After his cremation in Oakland,
Cal, the wife started overland last De-
cember, intending to carry the urn to
his former home in Germany. On the
way she was taken sick and died in
an Omaha hospital. Papers found in
heS possession indicated that she was
accompanying her dead husbands
body and a search was promptly in
augurated for the corpse. kilograms
were sent forward to Chicago and New
York, but no stray coffin could be dis
covered Meantime an administrator
was appointed in Omaha to take
charge of the personal effects of Mrs.
Haupstuck, and eventually these were
sold at auction to local junk dealer
for So.
Inadvertently the urn containing
Haupstuck's remains were included in
the sale. All that time the relatives
in Germany manifested little interest
in the search for the corpse, and it
was finally abandoned. The ashes were
not discovered until month later.
To-day they were offered for auction
and a stranger bid $500. The second
hand dealer believes this came from
the German relatives and expects a
much larger amount to be offered.

DISPUTES WILL
Be ADJUSTED
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-If Colombia
will take the initiative there need be no
further fear of boundary dispute with
Panama. The United States Minister
to Panama has reported to President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay that Pan
anna is making no further contention
over the boundary and is willing to ac-
cept without dispute the old demarca
ton of the department of Panama.
The Minister Of Foreign Affairs of
Panama asked the American Minister
to tell the President and Secretary Hay
that Panama would do nothing to irri-
tate Colombia and asked for no terri
tory beyond the old boundary. Panama
denied emphatically that it has granted
any concessions to Panamanians or
Americans to exploit the valley of
Atrato.
Much satisfaction is felt at the strong
probability of an early agreement be-
tween Costa Rica and Panama re-
garding their boundary dispute. Lee
onidas Pacheco. special envoy of Costa
RIGA to Panama, has returned to his
country bearing Panama's official state
ment of what concessions Panama is
willing to make. At one time there
was danger that Costa Rica would
break off negotiations and that a clash
would occur on the border.
A settlement of the differences be-
tween the United States and Panama
in regard to the main question of SOW
ereignty and the collection of customs
duties in the zone, as we'll as the dis
pute concerning the postal systems of
the United States and Panama, will
soon be reached and probably embodied
in the form of protocol.

The Republicans will formally open
the Congressional campaign in the
Fourth and Fifth districts with a rous-
ing meeting at the Alhambra Theater
this evening.
Colonel George H. Puppy, nominee
for Presidential Elector, will preside.
Hon. Frank P. Flint of Los Angeles.
julius Kahn, Republican candidate for
Congress in the Fourth, and E. A.
Hayes, the nominee of the party in the
Fifth district, will address the audi
ence. Aside from the inspiring speeches
there will be music by the band and
singing by the Stanford University
quartet. 1t is the Judgment of we'll
posted politicians that Kahn and Hayes
will be elected 10 Congress. AS election
day approaches the signs of victory for
the Republicans in every Congressional
district Of the State grow brighter.
SUPREME COURT.
Louis Ferrari will receive no aid from
the Supreme Court in his fight to COM
pei the Election Commission to place
his name on the official ballot as a
candidate for Justice of the Peace. He
may commence an action in some tri-
bunal of inferior jurisdiction, but the
contest will probably not be ended I'M
til long after the approaching election.
The Supreme Court in denying Fer
rari's petition says: Writ denied with
out prejudice upon the ground that
this court cannot entertain as original
proceedings controversies of this char
acter of purely local interest and af-
fecting only candidates for county or
municipal Offices"
Ferrari petitioned the Superior Court
yesterday afternoon for a writ Of man
damus compelling the Election Com
missioners to place his name as Demo-
cratic candidate for Justice Of the
Peace on the official ballot.
MASON THOMAS DECLINES.

cratic nomination for State Senator.

SACRAMENTO FOR McKINLAY.
Strength of Congressional Nominee
Revealed by an Excursion.

VI OOh9ANSoAOhA
Revealed by an Excursion.
SACRAMENTO, Oct 1.-THE po-
liticaI sentiment of Sacramento voters
was shown tonight by rival excur-
sions, the Democrats running an ex-
cursion to Woodland and the Repub-
licans an excursion to Folsom. The
latter excursion was given as dem
onstration in favor of Duncan z. Nc
KinIay. The relative size of the ex-
cursions justified the claim of the Re-
publican managers that the capital
city is in line for McKinlay. The Fol-
som train was crowded, fully $50 en-
thusiasts filling the coaches. while but
200 Sacramentans made the trip to
Woodland to hear the Democratic
nominee.
The Rough Riders headed by the
Native Sons band paraded to the Nc
Kinlay train and raised the enthusi-
asm to a high pitch and an immense
crowd at Folsom accorded the party
leaders an ovation. Addresses were
made by the local candidate, the
speech of the evening being a splen-
did effort by McKinlay. Senator r. T..
Devlin also spoke.

CHEERS FOR McKINLAY.
Name of Congressional Nominee
Arouses Santa Rosa Voters.

ArOuses Santa Rosa Voters.
SANTA ROSA, Oct. 1.-THE Repub-
lican campaign was opened in Santa
Rosa this evening when Congressman
James McLachlan of Los Angeles and
Judge Frank H. Short of Fresno spoke
at the Athenaeum. One thousand peo-
pie were present and much enthusi-
asm prevailed. Chairman c. H. Pond
of the Republican County Central Com
mittee called the meeting to order.
After reading the list of vice presidents
for the evening he introduced Judge
r. f. Crawford as chairman of the
meeting. The latter made a short ad-
dress before introducing Judge Short.
Short opened his address by saying
that he always liked to talk on Repub-
lican principles. He spoke of the two
recent national conventions, being a
member of one and a spectator at the
other. He was instructed and enter
tanned at the Republican convention,
he said, and amused at the Democrat
ic convention. He took up the Demo-
cratic charge that President Roosevelt
is a dangerous man ana told of Con-
gresham Livernash in a recent speech
picturing the President with spurs and
sword. Colonel Roosevelt, said Short,
wore both sword and spurs at San
Juan Hill and did not disgrace either.
He called attention to the fact that
George Washington, U. S. Grant, R.
B. Hayes, ]. A. Garfield and William
Mckinley were all military men and
soldiers.

REFERS TO NIGHT BEFORE.

I was much amused in this hall last night
by prOdigiOusly impassiOned and deafening
attack upon me by gentleman 1 have not the
fehclty OF knowing, but who happens TO be
candidate for a seat upon the Superior bench
OF this city and county. The worthy Don
QuiXote de la Mancha surely was not more de-
the windmill than my withdrawing critic
in his furious onslaught upon me for what he
conceived 10 be my views Of President Roose-
welt.
He looked my estimate Of Mr. Roosevelt UP
and down and across and over and. clearly

estimate, and feeling himself much the bet

down upon me in a fashion very comforting.

immortal soul. may emerge cautiously from
the wreck Of worlds and observe that never
for an instant entertained the sort Of views
he was generous enough to attribute to in
tones which must have reached Ssusalito and

was somewhat unfortunate, though his heart
was all right
Certainly the Democratic party and it's can

believed, denying the value Of just wars. the
glory Of our great soldiers or the courage and
patriotism OF Theodore Roosevelt one may

and without forgetting his valor in cuba

House a citizen thinking just Mr.. Roose-
