T. CARL SPELLING
TAKES AN APPEAL
SUPREME COURT GRANTS HOI
A WRIT OF MANDATE.
Fourth Congressional District Fight
to Be Decided in October — L.
H. Brown Must Answer.
T. Carl Spelling is bound to run for
Congress in the Fourth Congressional
District, against James H. Barry, if per
sistency and the courts will be of any
use to him. On Thursday certificate
of nomination by the so-called Fourth
Congressional District committee was
returned to him without being Hied by
Secretary of State L. H. Brown, who, it
may be added, recognized and hied the
certificate presented by BarrS'. Secretary
Brown's reasons for his decision were
that the body which nominated Spelling
for Congress was not and never had been
recognized by the Democratic National
Committee, the State Central committee,
nor even considered by the late Demo
cratic State convention.
Spelling does not propose to be turned
down in this or any other manner, and
yesterday he tiled in the Supreme Court
a petition fcr a writ of mandate to com
pel Secretary Brown to give the peti
tioner's name a place on the ticket, and
show cause why he aid this in the case
of Barry. In his petition Spelling recites
the positions that, h-j and Brown hold
in the community. That before Novem
ber, 1896, an organization known as "The
Democratic Party of the Fourth Con
gressional District" existed, and at the
election of that year it had more thn 3
per cent of the vote of that district, and
that no election having been held since,
the party in question is entitled to make
nomlnaticns. The calling of the conven
tion at which Spelling was nominated is
set forth in the petition, and the claim
is set up that the organization has ful
filled all the obligations to entitle it to
standing and recognition.
The reasons r>f Secretary of State
Brown for not filing the petitioner's cer
tificate of nomination are also given.
Spelling asks in conclusion for a speedy
hearing of his prayer, as there is no time
to lose. The Chief Justice issued a. writ
which was made returnable on October 3
at 2 p. m. before the court in bank.
POISONED IVY DID
NOT CAUSE DEATH
LOUIS GEISHEN SWALLOWED A
COLLAIUBUTTON.
Dr. Gallagher Found the Little Arti
cle Lodged in the Child's
Throat — A Pathetic Case.
Dr. Gallagher, the Coroner's autopsy
surgeon, discovered yesterday that Louis
Geishen, the two-year-old boy who died
suddenly at his parents* hom^s, 1336 Sac
ramento street last Wednesday, was not
poisoned by eating 1 an ivy leaf, but from
swallowing' a collar button.
As was told exclusively in The Call of
Thursday, the child had been playing in
the yard in the afternoon. His mother's
attention was drawn to him by cries and
moans. She ran out to her boy and found
him in convulsions. Thinking he had
swallowed a leaf from the ivy that
thickly grew on the back fence, she
rushed to a corner drug store with the
child in her arms. The druggist feared
to treat the little one, as its condition
was dangerous. He directed the frantic
mother to Dr. Gallwey, but he was not
at home. Other physicans were looked
for, but before one coud nbe found to at
tend the chiid he had grown unconscious
and soon after died.
The collar button was found lodged in
the boy's throat, with the small point
downward. This, in the autopsy physi
cian's opinion, caused the convulsions
and later death.

THE SAT* FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1898.
LIEUTENANT
TOBIN WRITES
FROM MANILA
Tells How the First
Fight Was Won.
THE SPANIARDS OUTCLASSED
COMPELLED TO RETREAT UN
DER A HEAVY FISE.
Many of the California Boys Killed
and Wounded in the Desperate
Struggle for Vic
tory.
Thomas Tobin, desk sergeant at the
Southern station, has received an inter
esting letterfrom his brother, First Lieu
tenant Tobin of the California Volunteers
at Manila. In describing the battle of
Manila he writes:
We have been under fire twice, and while
matjy of our boys have bet-n killed and
■wounded I have thus far escaped the bullets
>>£ the enemy. The first fight b»-gaii Sunday
niKht, July 31, and ended August 1 at 3:30
a. m. Despite the terrible cannonading of the
tnemy we held our own and finally planted our
flap in their soil. • • •
Provisions are getting very low. Chickens
are worth $3 apiece and eggs retail for $12 per
dozen.
In another letter Lieutenant Tobin
writes:
Hurrah! We have captured Manila, although
our losses were ten killed and thirty-seven
•wounded. We started on the morning of Au
gust 13 and our regiment took to the left on
the Bide nearest the bay. We arrived in posi
tion at 9 a. m. A short time afterward the
Olympla Bent the first shell into the Spanish
fort. The other vessels of the fleet pumped
shells Into the old fort and it was soon si
lenced. We oould see the awful destruction
that the shells worked from our position. The
steam launch Callao ran close into shore and
slaughtered a number of Spaniards In. their
trenches.
The ulaushter was awful. Some had their
heads blown off and their iimbn torn by shot
and e>.ell. The uninjured Spaniards retreated
under the heavy fire and made for the fort.
We followed them, and. entering the fort,
swung the Stars and Stripes to the breeze. The
enemy was concealed behind trees and also on
housetops, and as ws ran down the street they
poured a leaden hall into our midst. How we
managed to escape the bullets they pent after
us I ani at h. loss to explain. As it was we
only had two killed and nix wounded.
In the meantime the navy had stopped firing.
The California boy«! covered themselves with
glory. The Astor Battery "trot it in the neck,"
so to speak. They went up the wrong road and
laid themselves open to the fire of the enemy.
Talk about bird shooting! The Spanish sharp
shooters were concealed in trees, and yhen we
got on to them we dropped them II lei* an ex
perienced hunter would a flock of g-eese. When
we got the range the enemy was piled up like
cord wood. At 20 minutes to 5 the city sur
rendered. The insurgents tried to loot the
houses, but our boys stopped them. We have
about 50 of them under arreat. After the city
surrendered I was sent back to camp with
thirty-three nen to take command, and here
I am yet. It has been raining steadily since
the fight commenced.
The boys are disarming the Spaniards and
natives and guarding the city. The forts did
not fire one shot at the fleet. The Spaniards
destroyed their large guns so that we could
not use them.
Tho flel'i and staff are ensconseed in the
Governor General's mansion, with its rich fur
nishings and superb location. I have been de
tailed to act as assistant superintendent of all
sanitation in Manila. Regards to the boya.
Yours sincerely, WILLIAM H. TOBIN.

the Changes.
One of the most successful of the invi
tation round-robin tennis tournaments
held on Saturday afternoons at the Cali
fornia Tennis Club took place yesterday.
The quality of the tennis was of the high
order, and the Interest in the games was
at all times intense.
George and Robert N. Whitney, the old
team which has won so many victories,
played together yesterday for the first
time in many months. Their team work
was not so good as it has been, but they
easily outclassed all the others entered.

The Whltneys defeated McGavin and
Eckart. 6—l.
Adams and Weihe defeated Davis and
Grant Smith, 6—l.
Root and Walter Magee defeated Mc-
Gavin and Eckart, 6—2.
Then the Whitney brothers payed
Adams and Weihe, and as it was patent
that one of these two teams Would win
the townament, they determined to set
tle the result against the possibflity of a
tie and played two sets out of three. The
Whitneys won the flrst set with a score
of 6—3. The second was closely con
tested, but the result wits inevitable. The
Whitneys won, 6—4.6 — 4.
Root and McGavin Magee defeated Da
vis and Smith, 6—l.
Davis and Smith defeated McGavin and
Eckart, 7—5.
Adams and Weihe defeated Magee and

REPAYING OF
MARKET STBEET
TO BE STOPPED
If Ambrose's Advice
Is Followed.
LACK OF MONEY THE CAUSE
STBEET SUPERINTENDENT TO
ADDRESS SUPERVISORS.
... . —
Will Urge Cessation of Work Be
yond Sixth Street Until
Some Future
Time. ■
Market street, from Sixth to Valencia,
cannot be repaved with bitumen this
year. Such is the statment made to The
Call by Superintendent of Streets Am
brose. Speaking of the matter yesterday
he said:
"On Monday I shall send a communica
tion to the Supervisors, calling attention
to the fact that I will be unable to per
form all of the repair and repaying work
ordered up to date by the board and still
have enough money left in the depart
ment's funds to pave Market street be
yond Sixth. The Supervisors cut down
the street appropriation some $400,000
under the figure that I set in my esti
mate as necessary, and as a result no
improvements additional to those already
ordered can be made on the money t«iat
will be available. I will go out of office
next January, and the full amount of the
department fuuds for the months up to
that time has been spoken for. I am
sorry that it is so, but there is apparently
no help for it. Improvements cannot be
made without money. I understand that
a petition was filed with the Supervisors
to-day by property owners on Market
street asking that the work of repaying
with bitumen be extended from Sixth
street to the City Hall, but I do not see
how this can be done. To the best of my
belief Market-street improvements will
have to stop."
The petition to which Mr. Ambrose re
fers was filed with the Supervisors' clerk
Saturday morning and is signed by the
majority of the abutting property owners.
In it the fact is stated that bitumen
might as well be put down in view of the
fact that rails of the streetcar company
have been torn up and the expense of re
pairing with cobbles would be consider
able with an ultimate unsatisfactory re
sult, inasmuch as the cobbles make an
inexcusable racket, while the bitumen re
duces noise to a happy minimum.
The declaration of Mr. Ambrose regara
ing the necessity for stopping the Market
street improvement will cause both sur
prise and regret, as it was the general im
pression that the Supervisors would
speedily order the street finished as far
as Valencia street. There had been some
talk of bituminizing certain adjoining and
connecting streets, so as to furnish an
unbroken bitumen pavement from Mar
ket street to Golden Gate Park.
Several other matters of importance
will be brought before the Supervisors to
morrow. The Committee on Buildings
and Grounds will recommend that a fur
ther extension of time to January 1, 1899,
be given to the contractors, Bateman
Brothers, in which to complete the Hall of
Justice. This job has been dragging
slowly along for some time, although re
cently a slight in' rease in activity has
been observed on the contractors' part.
The Supervisors have evidently t>een
fkepticaf about the early completion of
the structure, as it was a mooted question
when the tax levy was considered as to
whether any provision should be made
this year for money to furnish the place.
It was finally thought wise to appropriate
some fnnds for the furniTure, with the
understanding that the money could be
used for other purposes if not needed in
the Hall of Justice.
The Committee on Buildings and
Grounds will a.so report adversely upon
the petition of the Board of Health for a
change in the specifications and plans for
a receiving hospital at the Hall or Justice.
The board wants two floors for the hospi
tal, but the Supervisors' committee thinks
that one will be sufficient.
The Supervisors will be asked to pass
a resolution identical with, that of the
Chamber of Commerce, addressed to the
State Harbor Commissioners, asking them
ta assign blocks of State land bounded by
Davis, Pacific and East streets in this
city for the use of car tracks and sheds
required for a free public market. A com
munication to this end will be presented
by Edward F. Adams in behalf of the
producers' free market committee.

Heeded Good Advice.
The suggestions made in The Call dur
ing the past month that the Chinese Bu
reau adopt some means of stopping ths
influx of Celestials into this country and
the exposure of its lax methods, has had
some effect on the officials in charge of
that branch of the Federal patronage.
In future incoming Chinese will be com
pelled to make their statement on the
steamer, -which is to be immediately read
over to them and signed by them, so
that they cannot evade the law by per
lured testimony.

importance of this communication it
evoked considerable discussion, with the
result that all -were decided that this
must be the principal project until the
work is accomplished. The deplorable
condition of Polk street, considering the
immense amount of traffic on it, calls for
this step df progress. Other important
suggestions were put forth by members
to which the board will give its untiring
attention.
The club is open to all merchants and
property owners on or ,ne£-r Polk street
and all the executive work will be at
tended to by the board of directors as by
the Merchants' Association of San Fran
cisco. All communications should be ad
dressed to the secretary, 1605 Polk street.
