his card to Durrant, writing on the back
of the card that he was accompanied by a

Durrant agreed to see the visitors and
they were shown to his cell, where they

"How long did you talk to Durrant?"
"Only a few moments."

As in all things in nature exhaustion is suc

strength by power to create anew the lost pros

The present depression is chargeable to two

and doubtless will, teach the tillers of our soil
a wholesome lesson. We hear the. query, "How
shall the restoration of confidence and pros

its approach be recognized?" The answer may
be seen from two directions. The first may be
that our soil will have tired of its vacation

\ alley." Let the farmers of California tell the
world that there is but one California. But no,
that it is unnecessary. That fact is known and
recognized throughout the civilized world,
aye, and in the nooks and corners of the world
where civilizing influences have not yet taken
root.
Their longing eyes are upon us. They know
B. C. Shoemaker, Steward State

that the products of our soil and climate are
nowhere excelled and rarely equaled in quan
tity and quality.
Having touched bottom in such a country it
were cowardly to despair. We must rise from
the slough of despond to a higher pinnacle of
prosperity and fame than we have ever experi
enced.
We have considered the propositions sub
mitted and respectfully recommend their
adoption.
First— That we believe this Government, with
the sanction of the Government of Nicaragua,
should provide the means or otherwise secure
the construction of what is known as the Nica
ragua canal, to be controlled and managed by
the two Governments, at such rates of toll and
charges aa will raise sufficient revenue to meet
the expense thereof and reasonable interest on
the cost of construction; but that it be not
managed in the interests of private individ
uals or corporations for the purpose or ac
cumulating wealth.
We believe it would materially reduce the
freight rates on our produce to foreign coun
tries, and greatly encourage the building up of
our country's shipping and general interests.
Second— That we heartily indorse the propo
sition of David Lubin for an export duty, as
presented to the Commissioner on Agriculture
of the last Congress.
Third— That we believe the Government,
both National, State and county, should foster
and encourr ge all enterprise, whereby employ
ment may be obtained by the unemployed.
Fourth,— We favor the exclusion ot all tin
desirable and non-assimilative immigration
from whatever country they may seek our
shores.
Fifth— We urge upon all agriculturists a
more faithful discharge of the dutiescf citizen
ship at the primaries and conventions at
which candidates for office are nominated, and
particularly do we urge that candidates be
selected who will enact economical legislation.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

HE BIDES WITH BOCK
Railroad Commissioner Stan
ton's Opinion of the
Reorganizers.
Already Canvassing the Dis
tricts and Preparing for the
New General Committee.
"You ask me why I am opposed to the
Junta — the reorganizes, as they call them
selves," said Dr. James Stantou yester
day. "I'll tell yon. It is because Ido not
think the party should be divided against
itself, and particularly because I do not
recognize the validity of these extraordi
nary committees.
"The men who are at the head of the
movement are not the sort of men that in
spire confidence; they are tyros at the
game of politics and have in no way dem
onstrated their fitness to lead. Take our
friend Max Popper, for instance. We have
had him at the head of affairs a time or
two, and whenever there was an attack,
w henever a moment came when the proper
sort of a leader would stand up and guide
hi 9 party. Max has resigned. A sensitive
spirit is a good thing, but for the head of a
party organization to resign when his ser
vices are most needed, does not strike me
as signal proof of his ability.
"Then this cry of Buckleyism! I have
known Buckley for fifteen years. He lias
sometimes given me advice in politics, and
good advice at that. My first nomination
in the City has always "been considered a
Buckiey nomination. All Buckley asked
me to do was to attend to the people's
business as carefully as I would my own.
'•Buckley is a boogie man to these gen
tlemen. Why, during the investigation of
the freight rates not long ago Buckley
happened to meet me on Montgomery
street. Out of this chance incident a cir
cumstantial story was created. It was
intimated that Buckley had come to me
direct from the railroad office, and it was
presumed that I would do whatever the
railroad asked through Mr. Buckley. Of
course a man of any sense would know
that Buckley is not foolish enough to
choose Montgomery street in broad day
light to make an illicit proposition to an
oflice-holder.
"They talk about the Occidental Club,
and want to read out of the party all who
belong to it. If they are going to crowd out
every man who has been friendly to Buck
ley they will have but a small party left.
It is not back beyond the memory of men
when Mr. Popper was stanch for'Buckley,
and, if my recollection serves me right,
Gavin McXab himself accepted a nomina
tion as Supervisor from the boss."
It is the presence of such men as the
Railroad Commissioner in the Buckley
rauks that worries the Junta. Stantou
just now stands very high among the vir
tuous Democrats. They compare the record
he has made as Kailroad Commissioner
with that of W. W. Foote, and Foote's
record was enouerh to place the nomina
tion for Governor in his grasp had he
wanted it. So strong is Stan ton now that
he will be offered a membership in the
new general committee by the Forty
fifth District, an offer he will decline,
because he is not in sympathy with the
reorganizes.
Men are already at work canvassing the
districts, and the preparations for a battle
at the primary elections are well under
way.
The McNab-Watson-Popper contingent
say Buckiey is certain to be overwhelm
ingly defeated at the primaries. The ex
boss, they say, has forgotten nothing
and learned nothing. He does not realize
that methods of ten years ago will not do
now. The time when he could send an
ex-convict with orders that nobody dared
disobey— the time when he would sur
round a polling place with thugs and over
awe respectable citizens— is back in the
dark ages of San Francisco politics, but he
does not know it and is relying on the ex
pedients of ten years ago to win.
But Buckley's merry men laugh at the
reorganizers, call them 'prentice bosses and
baby politicians and are sure that when
they come against the practical politics of
the "Blind White Devil" they will realize
for the first time that Democratic politics
in San Francisco is no boy's pastime.

who is the secretary of the executive com- j
mittee and one of a number of ladies who j
have agreed to arrange not only a grand
concert, but one of the most artistic from
a musical standpoint ever gotten up in

subscribe a large amount for a horse show |
they certainly ought to do much in aid of
suffering humanity. If they could but see
the ninety-five little invalids we have in j
the hospital their hearts would go out to
them.
"These Indies, who have assumed the !
management of this musical festival, have
relieved the officers of the hospital of all

One of the features of the concert will be
the appearance of Colonel Charles P.
Crocker in one of the. choruses. He has
signified his intention of becoming one of
the singers in the aid of charity.
"It is expected," said Asa K. Wells, who
will erect the seats and stage for the
participants, "that there will be from 700 to
1000 vocalists, and I have prepared plans
bo that one end of the Pavilion can.be
fitted up to accommodate either number.
The platform will have a depth of sixty
feet and be sixty-eight feet wide with seats
rising from four feet above the floor to the
line of the gallery."
;< We intend to make this musical festi
val," said Mrs. Hunt, "the most effective
one that has ever been given, and we are
promised help fr.om ail quarters. Then
we have sent for a European prima donna
who has never before sung in the United
States. She is on her way here and will
give us an evidence of her ability before we
announce her name. The festival will be
under the direction of Professor J. H.
Kosewald and J. P. Howe.
"Sacramento announces that it will send
down a ladies' club of singers, under the
direction of Mrs. Frances Moeller, and that
this will be balanced by a number of well
trained male voices. Professor Green
of Vallejo is rehearsing a number
of the people who will take part.
Four hundred singers will come from Oak
land. This will include the singing classes
of the Oakland High School, all good read
ers of music. Then there will be nearly all
the singing societies of this City, many of
which are rehearsing every Thursday night
in Golden Gate Hall.
"We intend to give two evening concerts
and ono matinee for children, and will do
what we can to interest the little ones in
the cause.
"At first it was thought that we would
have but twelve boxes in ' the Pavilion,
but as these have all been taken we shall
hays additional ones. Colonel Crocker
and Mrs. C. P. Huntincton have taken
two boxes each. J. D. Bpreckels Chaneß
L. Fair and Major Hooper have each
taken one, each box having paid for at the
rate of $'250.
"We have received a wagon-load of
books for the choruses. 'There will be
'The Heavens ar« Telling, ' 'Damascus
Triumphal March,' 'Hail Bright Abode!'
'The Tournament of Song,' 'Thanks Be to
God' and the 'Hallelujah Chorus.' There
will also be solos, but the programme has
not yet been fully prepared."

A SAILORS' CONVENTION.
National Coast Seamen's Unions to Meet
In Boston.
At a meeting of the Coast Seamen's
Union Monday night a letter was read from
the secretary of the National Coast Sea
men's Union inquiring if tiio local body
favor holding a National convention.
The writer stated that many of the Eastern
unions are ill favor of such a gathering be
ing held in Boston during the holidays,
about the time that the American Federa
tion of Labor holds its convention in New
York. By the two conventions being held
close together, as. to time and place, dele
gates from distant points may represent
more than one union.
After considerable discussion the Coast
Seamen's Union voted in favor of holding
a c6nvention as suggested by the National
secretary. Oile or more delegates will be
sent East, who will, no doubt, attend both
conventions.
UMERIC AND ALEWIVES.
The Fish Commissioner Is Disgusted
Because California Is Ne
glected;
Fish Commissioner Emeric has a griev
ance against the United States Fish Com- 1
missioners, who failed to keep the many
promises they have made in reference to
the shipments of Eastern fishes to this
coast. Mr. Emeric states that the Califor
nia commission has lived up to its agree
ment and shipped during the past . year
several consignments of salmon and trout
for the East under instructions from the
"United States Commission.
"Although I have repeatedly asked for
large-mouth bass and other fishes that
would prove of inestimable value to th?
people of this State,"' said Mr. Emetic,
" we have received only one consignment
of tithes, among whicii were a compara
tively small number of large-month bas-s.
which we intend to keep for breeding pur
posed.
"Now. of all fishes that I require for
stocking purposes, the alewife I need most.
I have made several applications for a
shipment of this variety of fishes, but my
prayers do not. appear to have had the
desired effect. At least my chances of
meeting with an agreeable surprise by the
arrival of a car containing those highly
valuable food fishes are very slim, now
that the winter season is almost at hand.
DOCKEEY MAKES ANOTHER EAJD.
[Sketched by a "Call" artisi.\
"The alewife to the poor people of many
Eastern States is as highly prized as the
herring is by the poor people of England
and Ireland. It is, however, a far superior
fish to the herring and will thrive in the
waters of thia State.
"I do not expect to gain much by writ
ing to the United States Fish Commission,
but should Dr. Tarleton H. Bean prove to
be the successor of the late Colonel Mar
shall McDonald I am satisfied that Cali
fornia will not be neglected in the distri
bution of fishes. However, in case our ap
plications for fishes be denied by the United
States Commissioners I have the promises
of Senators Perkins and White and Con
gressman Maguire that they will intercede
for California, which State is certainly as
much entitled to recognition as any other
State in the Union.
"The fishes that we received from the
East a few months ago are doing very well
indeed, and in a few years hence, I have
good reason to believe, the people of this
State will appreciate the work that has
been accomplished by the present board —
that is, so far as the distribution of liahes
is concerned."
Mr. Emeric had very little to say about
the game side of the question, as his en
tire time has been devoted to the interests
of fishes.

DOCKERY HARD AT WORK
The Milk Inspector Holds Up
Over Forty Wagons in
One v Night.
hundreds of gallons spilt.
Will Continue Relentlessly
the Fight for Pure and
Honest Milk.
The San Bruno road, down near Twenty
first and Mission streets, presented very
much the appearance yesterday morning
of that land which is described as flowing
with milk and honey. The last-named
article was prominently absent, but this
was hardly noticed in the stream of white
fluid, which under the name of milk,
flowed swiftly down the Mission-street
gutters.
The cause of this unusual and certainly
novel scene in the Mission was a midnight
raid inaugurated by Inspector Dockery.
He found unwary milkmen without much
trouble, for out of a total of forty wagons
examined the contents of eleven were so
faulty as to be only worthy of mixing
with the sands.
In all something like a thousand gallons
of milk were judged impure by the in
spector and promptly dumped.
The inspector left his office at the City
Hall promptly at 12 o'clock and proceeded
to the milk depot corner of Twenty-first
and Mission streets. He soon had four
wagons drawn up abreast across the street.
In less than half an hour forty wagons
were packed like so many sardines behind
the four first halted and then the fun be
gan.
First cam* 1 the Swiss Dairy, owned by
Frank Ban man and H. Ban man, and after
the ipeeifi s-gravity test, which showed
only 1022, the driver acknowledged to a
small quantity of water and the entire load,
consisting of thirty cans, was soon
dumped. A lew of the assembled milk
men growled a little, but as a whole they
were inclined to lauj;h at their more un
fortunate brother. Later this laughter
changed to gloom.
Following the Bwin Dairy came tests of
nine others, the names of which are given
below, with the quality of the milk pre-

to the office he came across the wagon of
P. Palasson, proprietor of the University
Farm.
The test showed a specific gravity of
10.00, butter fat less than the standard and
cream 6)3' per cent. The cans were imme
diately emptied, making in all eleven
wagons, containing probably 900 gallons,
dumped during tne early morning hours.

yesterday, the secretary was directed to
write to the Milkmen's Association, to the

PACIFIC BANK ASSETS.
Manager, Farmira Further Questioned
in Juclg* Hebbard's Court About
the Failure.
The old story of the Pacific Bank was
continued in Judge Hebbard's court yester
day, on Attorney A. J. Clunie's petition to
oust the directors for misconduct. Mr.
Ciunie had Manager Farnum in the wit
ness-box and he kept him answering ques
tions all day.
Mr. Farnum made admissions as to the
existence of assets aggregating $285,000,
which assets had been disposed of before the
failure in some way unknown to nim.
When asked to explain a $150,000 credit
given to Dr. R. H. McDonald on the books
of the bank, he said that it was for land in
San Luis Obispo which had been used to
meet some of the bank's obligations.
That land, he admitted, had Deen ap
praised at $148,000 by a man named Ray,
an employe of the People's Bank. The
land was mortgaged to the People's Bank
for $150,000 after that appraisal, and all
that the People's Bank realized on it was
$50,000. Mr. Farnum said that lie had un
availingly protested against the transac
tion.

THE WEAK SPOT.
Three-fourths of the ailments afflicting
mankind are of the nervous system and
Scan be traced to their
/(* foundation at the
\x lfj?{ small of the back.
p*^}^ Here are the centers of
y the most important
y nerves, and the sup-
f k 1 port of all vital or-
| / gans, such as the
I*. / j Liver, Stomach and
/ *M '^W^yJ Kidneys and Sexual
i JSr^^-^^a Organs, comes from,
K*-^/^!?Ml<^ this general founda-
\^/j\\i^ \ tion. Hence it is nat-
-1 i ural that all weakness
V <$£&& - in the functions
named must show itself in the back, at the
point covered by the disks conducting the
strengthening Electric currents from
DR. SAM'S ELECTRIC BEIT.
This partially explains the great success
attending the use of this famt>33 Belt, but
it is only a part of the studied system fol-
lowed by Dr. Sandcn in his treatment of
Nervous arid Chronic diseases by Elec-
tricity. The treatment is a science with
him. Knowing that all diseases require
separate treatment, be has different meth-
ods of application for Nervous Debility
and kindred weakness, for Rheumatism,
i for Sciatica, for Liver and Stomach Com-
| plaints and for Kianey troubles. All are
I different, but all are curable by Electricity
I when properly applied.
