from the government land He said
the Democratic party was on the side
of the people in this matter.
H. T. Moore, one of the Democratic
candidates for Senator, made speech
of some length.
.tIt has been urged by the Repub-
licans,'' he said, "that if you elect
Democratic senate and legislature it
viii greatly embarrass Governor Frear.
Now Governor Frear is good man, but
he is Republican. And if it would
embarrass him to have a Democratic
senate and legislature, think how much
more it would embarrass us if William
Jennings Bryan should be elected Pres
ident, and this Territory should fail to
elect a Democratic legislature! And
William Jennings Bryan is going +, be
elected in November The leading Re-
publican newspapers all over the coun-
try show that they expect it. And
when he is elected and appoints a
Democratic governor of this Territory
that Democratic governor ought to
have a Democratic senate to support
him.
''The Republicans say that the Dem
ocrats have never done anything for
the people Well, let us see. The
three candidates of the Democratic
party for Senator are E. NJ. Watson,
Frank R. Harvey and myself. f. NJ.
Watson was one of those who framed
the County Act. He helped give you
the County Act Frank R. Harvey has
been a member of the Board of Su-
pervisors for two years, and he has
been helping to give you a good county
administration. I was member of
the Board of Supervisors for eighteen
months. and you know that I helped
give you roads and other public i'm
provements and work on them.
tThe Democratic party in this Ter
rity has made good on every occasion
where it has had the opportunity. We
present ticket that is worthy of your
support from top to bottom. Vote for
it from top to bottom, and the party
is pledged to carry out through the
officers it elects the pledges of the
party platform, which are in the in
terests of the people"
Following Moore, Edward Ingham,
candidate for Supervisor, was intro
duced. Mr.. Ingham spoke at consider
able length on the party platform both
locally and nationally, and urged that
the purpose of the party was to give
everyone a square deal. He promised,
if elected, to do his part to keep the
party pledges and to administer the
affairs of the city and county in the
best interests of the whole people.
Joseph J. Fern, the candidate for
Mayor, did not arrive until after the
meeting of the Board of Supervisors
had adjourned. He was received with
much enthusiasm, and speaking in Ha-
waiian he promised an honest and
straightforward administration of the
affairs of the municipality, if he was
elected.
J. c. Anderson, candidate for Audi
tor. made a vigorous and breezy talk
both in English and Hawaiian, and
was loudly cheered Among other
speakers were Charles Girdler, Duke il.

Mail Bags Chase.
On board the liner Newport, which
arrived yesterday from Panama, is
bag of mail for the United States
steamer Milwaukee, which has been
chasing the protected cruiser for nearly
two years and is still a few hundred
miles behind its destination, as the Mil
waukee left here for Puget sound a few
days ago.
The Milwaukee mail bag started
originally from New York and has WIS.,
tied nearly every port in which the
Milwaukee ever dropped anchor, but so
far has always arrived after the an
ehor had been heaved up and the
cruiser had taken its departure. The
bag has been twice in Panama and in
Seattle three times. 1t has been back
to New York twice and has paid two
flying visits to Washington, ID. c. 1t
has been twice to Honolulu. 1t has
travelled on warships, merchant liners,
foreign tramps and railroad trains, and
1t mas been pasted over with shipping
labels until it looks like crazy quilt.
When the Milwaukee was ordered
from Honolulu to Panama the bag was
in New York for the second time and
was started for the isthmus by the first
steamer. The Milwaukee had left
Panama when the bag arrived on the
Pacific side of the isthmus, but was
supposed to be at Amapala umpiring a
baby revolution The Newport, with
the bag on board, reached Amapala a
few hours after the Milwaukee had
sailed for this port, and before the
&. Newport reached the Golden gate the
Milwaukee had sailed for BremertOn.
The bag started last night by rail
for Bremerton and the chance is good
that its freight of letters will be dis
tributed to the owners, or as many of
them as are still attached to the Mil
waukee, in a few days.-Cal.

MANILA, October 5.-The Atlantic
battleship' feet has safely outridden
hurricane which swept Manila Bay
for twelve hours and did much damage
ashore. Typhoon signals were display
ed early Sunday morning, but the
storm broke over the bay suddenly and
Unexpectedly at noon. 1t was impos-
sible to hoist the cutters and launches
belonging to the feet because of the
danger Of smashing them against the
steel sides of the battleships. and the
little craft were sent scurrying inside
the breakwater into the Pasig river,
where they remained all night.
The storm quickly increased in in
tensity and the torrential rain shut
in the ships. At O'Clock at night
the storm had reached its height, and
it then gradually tapered down until
at midnight it was comparatively calm,
although heavy seas swung across the
harbor
During the storm all the battleships
had steam up ready for any emergency.
Pear Admiral Sperry finally ordered
the flagship Connecticut and the Kan
sas. Minnesota, Vermont, Virginia and
Ohio under way They were close to
the breakwater and Admiral Sperry
feared they might drag their anchors
The SIX vessels steamed down close to
Cavite, where they anchored.
Manchuria Officer Dead.
SAN FRANCISCO, October I.-WiI-
l@d C. Mott, second officer of the Pa
cifc Mail Company IS liner Manehuria,
was killed in an accident on the vessel
in Hongkong harbor on September %,
according to a eablegram received here
by the company yesterday. No par
tieulars of the fatality were given, nor
was the nature or extent of the acct
dent reported in the brief message.
The death is unusually sad, as Mott
was but recently married to Miss Win
fred Coy of Santa Barbara and was
on his first voyage made since his
marriage. The wedding occurred at
the home of the bride in the Highland
Park district of Santa Barbara and
was celebrated on June last, the
groom taking a leave of absence for
one voyage. The bride is the daughter
of the late County Tax Collector L. I.
Coy Of Santa Barbara County and was
an heiress. Since the wedding the
couple have lived in Berkeley.
Mott stood high in the esteem of his
employers and associates in the steam
ship company s service. His home be-
fore his marriage was in San Diego.

A young assistant professor Of the Uni

to have discovered a new metal by sep

parts. For some time past he has been

rare earths, and more recently undertook
