WEEDING THEM OUT.
Robinson Released Two Men and
Lo-t Anot her Game.
Pete B-mmers Is Now Released et large, but
Bases on Balls Have Cone to Stay.
Frisco Defeated.
Colonel Thomas Prodigal Robinson re
leased two more of his ball-players yester
day. lie hired a fresh one, however, and
also chatted a little lv his usual happy vein,
using the crown of his hat for a mouth
piece while prattling with that artless inno
cence which endears him to those who
hearken.
Robinson's new hired hand is a slender
young man by the name of Loughran, who
was engaged to till the vacancy caused by
the summary ejectment of Sommers, alias
BasesHßU-Balls Pete. Young Mr. Lough
rin briki 1 Pete's best record right from the
jump, and contributed eleven beautiful
bases oa balls, which greatly enhanced '.he
hilarity of the occasion and enabled the
■Senators to win by a score of 14 to 7.
There was no mention of the Colonel's
new twirler on the score-card, but the
leatber-luoged hawkers of this publication
were aware that the Colonel had another
phenom, so they stood at the park gate and
relied:

Messrs. McCloskey and McGuirk, the
Sacramento base-ball firm, also sprung a
new pitcher on an nnsnspectine public His
name is (allan, and the shading of his hair
is such that were he a girl he would be
making dates with wiiite hordes. Callan is
a pretty nucd pitcher himself, which is prob
ably tlie reason the Colonel didn't sun him.
Anyhow, lie placed ha bases-on-balls limit

bit - rue, but not so much as Mr. Loughran,
who is-ued a challenge every time be sent
the ball over the plate.
D] CSBB MIH- THE C'H-0M.1..
The two men released from the Oakland
team -were Summers and Decker. Summers
was discharged because the Colonel Hadn't
tlie lie it t.i lire Pnenom lJalsz twice in one
week. Decker is a first Baseman from .(oliet,
who reached Oakland and the acme of base
ball misery yesterday morning, Some time
sno tlie Coluiiel sent seventeen tickets East
fur men to come out anil join th- team.
It now seems that these tickets were de
layed ! where, but are beginning to bring
forth ball-players. Decker «as the lirst
As he aliaiited from the train at the Oakland
iJepot, with a bag full of base hits in his
baud, lie was met by his employer.
"Kxcuse me, but is this Air. Decker?" ho
asked with a pleasant smile.
"That is my name, sir. Who ara you,
may I ask
"I'm Colonel T. P. Robinson, manager of
the Oakland team, the one that tron the
. pennant two 5 ears ago. Here, hold my
cane while 1 make ont your release."
When this little formality bad been con
rlulcil the Colonel slatted off, but stopped
abruptly and askeu:
"Dill you notice any more players in the
train you came out on?"
Decker said he didn't remember seeing
any mure.
•■ Because if there were," added the
Colonel, "1 might as well lire them while
I'm bore."
During the afternoon Mr. Decker viewed
the game to determine if possible whether
or not he had missed anything. While at
Ttis i> ;rk the Colonel told Decker he released
him because he didn't think he would fit
into any of the uniform?. There are six
teen more tickets to hear from, and the
ColnnW is thinking of stationing an azent ;rt
tiie depot to release them as fast as they
come.
O'.Vl ll.'s great itkad,
Had Tip O'XciJ, who is related on ac
count of his generaS-hiu, used his head for
other purports than giving vent to dis
cordant sound the Oakland* might have won
tlie tii.e. They secured three runs in the
first inning and their Mr. Lnuglirau had heJd
t!:e Senators down to one run and four
scattering hits up to the filth.
Everything was looking lovely for the Col
ci:el, but in the fifth his pitcher weakened.
Jle as not been doing anything this season
and his strength give out S>o tiie Steers
bopped on to him and swatted out five hits,
including two doubles and a triple, which,
with three bases on balls, and some timely
errors, netted six runs. Balsz, wbo is still
under pay as far as we know, was present,
and bid he been put in the bos the final re
sult might have been '1 lifer. 'nt. But Lougii
ran kput on and met with more misfortunes.
In tiie seventh the visitors fell upon tlie
Colonel's pitcher with grievous force and
hammered in six tuoie tallies. The Oak
lai di retaliated toward the last half of the
giime. and pelted Mr. Callan quite freely,
iMit they were too far behind to catch up.
Callan is a smooth man in the box and twice
cangDt runners napping at first
There were six double plays in the came,
tome due to stupid base-running and others
to splendid fielding and clean throws. Hun
key Hines executed a phenomenal catch in
left field and doubled a runner at second.
McClosk-y played left field fur the visitors,
as Roberts is laid up with a game leg.
Jack Godar arrived from Cedar Rapids
last night, and will i lay third base, fur Oak
land to-day if the Colonel can be kept away
from him until the game gets under way.
Dunzan is also comiac frmn Denver, and
will play light field, vice Tip O'Neil pro

"PAULINE BLANCHARD."
A New Play Produced by 31 me.
Bernhardt at the Grand.
M. Darmont's play, which Mr. Henry E.
Abbey read for the first time in Melbourne,
was produced by lime. liernhardt and com
pany at the Grand Opera Bouse, for the first
time in America, before an audience not
laree but apureciative. Recalls were very
unanimous. The young actor-author is only
25 years of ape, and has contrived to treat
the subject practically, and yet present us
with a picture of peasant lile peculiar to the
locality. lie is here on his own ground, and
may safely be regarded as an expert, his
childuooJ and much of his youth having
been passed among the peasantry of France.
There is an Indefinable flavor of Zola about
the while composition, and in following the
characters of Blanchard pere and Uadet
we ire reminded of tie small, ambitious
and intense selfishness that marked many of
the people in that author's "La Terre.
In painting this dramatic picture of French
agricultural life. Dannout may have bor
rowed some of hispiiimeiitsfrnm the realistic
novelist Even the sickle of the book plays
it part in the most important scene of the
las) net of the drama. With that imple
ment Pauline, in a fit of trenzy, cuts the
iliroat of the husband. Cadet, whom she
despises. To repeat the story, in brief:
Francois, son of Jlarehal, is engaged to
marry Pauline, daughter of BUncliard ; but
he having been deposed from the mayoralty
in favor of M.irehal, becomes so enraged
that lie breaks off the match and compels
his daughter to marry a lumpy, good-natured
agriculturist called Cadet. Out of this
condition of things grows the whole dramatic
business, ending with the death of Pauline
after she hail murdered her husband. Bern
hatdt cann»t be said to be impressive as a
domestic heroine, and although she has many
strong scenes during the progress of the piece
they fail to arouse that enthusiasm which
is tailed out when she puts her grander con
eel ti us into action— latter scenes of
" Pauline Ulanchard" atfora Bernbardt tiie
greatest scope for powers- The discovery
of Pauline in the garret of her mini's cot-
Cage, where sho becomes jealous of Francois
and thinks he has deserted her, and the last
scene of all, when she kills Cadet, She sur
prises him, as he is sitting reading a pamph
let, He asks her what she Is doing there,
nnd with a sickle. She answers in a slow,
quiet tone, like one in a dream, "I want
you to die." For a moment he is shocked,
but his course mind does not appreciate all
that lies behind the utterance. In him the
physical attraction is predominant. He has
hold of both her wrists, and the contact of
her warm flesh awakens all the lust of his
brutal nature. Kissing her on the side of
the neck in spite of her struggles, he draws
her toward him. She resists and by so
il ins only inflames his vi lent passion.
Losing all control, he flings her arms over his
shoulders, throw? his own around her body,
and crushing her against him, kisses her
on the lip*. By this action he has fre>d ncr
wrist!. His back is against the table. With
one hand she grasps his hair and thrusts
his head backward, and seizing the sickle
in the other, witti a single, blow cuts his
throat.
Some little difficulty was experienced la
following the actors In the opening scenes
on aceuuut of i've rapidity of their colloquial
utterances, and the subdued tone in which
they spoke.
The performance* at date will be the last
given by Mine, Berobardt and company in
this city. At the matinee "Camille," and in
the evening "Theodora."

THE DEAD OFFICER.
"Snin'l of Poses" Will Deny
That He Killed Officer Grant.
Additional D tails of the Killing of the
Popular Peliceman-The Prisoner Coun
seled Not to Talk.
"Gunshot wound of the brain caused
death" was the statement made by Police
Surgeon Williams yesterday after the au
topsy OB the remains of Folice Officer Alex
ander Grant, who, it is allcgeo, was killed
on Thursday night by M. U. Curtis within
it f. w yards of the Southern Police Sta
tion. Hall a dozen officers, headed by
Detective lien Uoheu, were out bright and
early investigating the details of the tragic
affair, aud the circumstances of the k lling
were found to be substantially the same as
has been related.
Curtie, cr Stre'.linger, which is bis real
name, was arrested at the corner of Filth
and Folsoni streets either for drunkenness
or disturbing the peace, lut when within a
few yards ol the station resisted Officer
Giant's efforts to fling him alonp. Grant
was heard to say, "Come nl< ug, now," and
an iustant later three pistol shots rang out
iv rapid succession, and Grant fell dead
with a bullet wound in the center of his
forehead.
From what the investigating officers
could learn they believe that Curtis fired
tha fatal shot while intoxicated, aud
that there was no provocation for the mur
derous act. When Curtis awoke in the
morning in his cell at the City Prison he
was considerably sobered. The first thins

ho dirt was to send for George A. Knight
and Henry 1. Kowalsky and engage them
ns his counsel. Acting upon their advice,
Curtis declined to say anything in refer
ence to the (hooting, exept that lie could
remember nothing about it.
His defense will probably be a denial
that he had anything to do with the tiring
of the fatal shot
Curtis looked exceedingly lmscard and
wild-eyed as lift was taken into Police Court
1 yesterday to be arraigned on a charge of
murder. At the r. quest of his attorneys the
case was continued until Monday. Owing
to a pressure ot business in Police Court 2
the preliminary examination will bo con
ducted in Police Court 1. From the court
room Curtis was returned to the prison and
assigned to a cell in the tanks.
Coroner Garwood impaneled the following
named to serve as a jury In the case:
Samuel lrvnm. 219 Montgomery street; A. H.

The inquest was commenced with the ex
amiuation of James l:. Boseelle, an insur
ance-broker, who identified the remains.
13 said that he bad known Grant for four
year?. The inquest was then continued
until 10:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning and
the remains were turned over to an under
taker for burial. The Funeral will probably
be held to-morrow, under the au-pices of
the Widows' and Orphans' Aid Association
of the Police Department
There was an affecting meeting between
Curtis and bis wile in the prison, and they
were allowed to sit in the corridor and talk
to each other for fifteen minutes. Mrs.

Tivoll to visit William Kreling. He drank
considerable there, and it is supposed that
lie was on his way back to the Grand Opera
House when arrested by Grant.
Mrs. Cnrtis went to her home in Berkeley
without him, and did not learn of the homi
cide until she read an account of it in the
morning papers. She says that she never
knew her huiband to carry a pistol or drink
to excess.
There was also a buzz of excitement in
theatrical circles yesterday, and the shoot
ing was discussed in all its phase*.
When Curtis arrived in this country
twenty years ago from Hungary ht was
known as .Maurice Strellinger. His first
employment in this city was as i\ call-boy in
the old California Theater. When he be
came ambitions as an actor he changed his
uame to M. B. Curtis, ana ten years «co he
made his first success as "Sam'l of Posen."
Afterward he presented two other plays,
styled "Muck In a Corner" and "The
Shatchrn," and made considerable money
out of them.

The Rochette and Muller fighr, which will
take dace at the San Jose Athletic Club on
Monday evening, promise} to be a very
closely contested match. Tlio pugilists are
in good condition and a lons fight is ex

W. J. Dnnnegan, who recently partici

out with a challenge to lent either Dally or
Lyons lor from 5250 to SSOO a side. Dun
negan is a clever lad who hits hard and as a
stayer he has tew equals.
Hawkins and Mahuney have been matched
to fight at th« Pacific Club on the evening ot
Seuteuiber 30th.
The sports of this city were not surprised
lost evening when the news of Gibbons' de
feat came over the wires. The fijzht whs
stopped by tho police when Gibbons' faco
was covered with blood, and the referee im
mediately cave the battle to McAuliffe,
Gibbons, although bleeding profusely, was,
from accounts, as fre*h an .\lc.\nlufc, and
might have eventually won the battle had
the authorities allowed it to go on to a finish.
There is no doubt but AicAulifle had mat
ters arranged in such a manner that he
would win in case the police interfered.
The referee certainly did not do right by
Gibbons in awarding McAuliffe the light.
The result will assist, very materially, to
finish fistic sports in the Granite Club.

THAT CHARITY FUND.
The Grand Jury Now Looking
Into the Scandal.
The Graud Jury is now inquiring into the
Firemeu's Charitable Fund, Concerning
which there was such a scandal last Mar,
when Supervisor Kllert, as Chairman of tne
Finance Committee, caused au investiga
tion to be made.
It will be remembered that the fuid,
amountini; nt that time to some S"uoo or
SiSWK), hud been transferred into the safe
keeping of John Dougherty, who eavo no
security lor it, had not a dollar of rightiul
interest iii it and who was not even a mem
ber of the Fire Department. 'I he investiga
tion developed the fact thai the money was
hcin^ used by Dougherty and his political
pals to preserve their supremacy in the de
partment and run it as a corrupt political
machine, lv fact, instead of devoting the
fund to the purposes for which it was estab
lished, it was beinu used as a sort of cam
paign fund, aud Dougherty was made its
custodian.
All attempt was made by Supervisor El
len to have the board take bold ol the
matter and reorganize the fund. At first
they hesitated, but finally decided to keep
their hands i if, urging that it was not a
matter over which the Uuard of Supervisors
had any jurisdiction. Tne last heard of the
matter In the board was Mr. Kllerl's
promise to bring it before the Grauu Jury,
lie lias kept His promise.
The witnesses examined yesterday were
District Attorney Barnes, l'roseculing At
torney Niciiolson aud K. B. Vreeland. Mr.
J!.trnes' connection with the case, it is
understood, is that simply of having ad
visea Mr. KUert lit the time of tne investi
gation that the board had jurisdiction over
that portion of the fund acquired from Po
lice Court lines and by appropriation of the
board. JSicholson's examination is sup
posed to have been in relation to Police
Court fines, and Vreeland's as to his kuowl
edge of tbe fund, fruni having beeu at oue
time Secretary of the fire. Commissioners.
SHE WASTED ALL IU SIGHT.
How an Oakland Girl I'aiieil tho Time
fit the I i i iy.
They had been to the fair, and were at
the ferry depot waiting for the Oakland
boat. She was a sweet, young thing, about
IT, and he a l'J-kaiat dude of the Qnt water.
They ti ok a seal, but she could not keep
still. "1 have not beun weighed for a
u.onth ; have you a nickel. George, dear?"
she asked. Qeoige had a nickel. In an in
stant she was m the electric scale, aud she
eagerly took the curd as it fell from the
slot.
"Only 120 ? Why lam sure that can't be
right; 1 weighed 122 Hie last time," she ob
served. As she walked away from the
weighing machine, she sighted the card on
top of the inouograpb, and theu it wan:
" Oh, George, that is the 'Uutterfly Galop,'
one of my favorites; 1 should love to hear
it." George put another nickel into the
machine, and aha went into raptures as she
pressed the tube to Hit ears, She, dropped
them with a sigh as the music ended, ami
then she strolled over to the fruit-stand.
"That candy looks just lovely. 1 believe
it is better than that we had in the Pavilion,"
and of course George, took the hint, and for
a few minutes the young lady was busy
with 13 cents' worth of stuped sugar.
George was anxiously watching the clock,
and wondering what she would want next,
lie was not kept loug in doubt, and
he had to shell out for a glass of cider. "I
know tl:at weighing machine is nut light,"
she exclaimed as George slowed the change
away iii his pocket, "1 kuow I weigh more
than that. Let us try the other machine?"
Grorso produced another nickel as she
stepped on the machine and her face was a
study when the pointer indicated 1-0, and
she declared trie machine * fraud.
Pt-auut? was her next puich»se, and they
veto washed down with a glass ot soda,
while .rye wondered how much more
she could hold. Once more she paid a visit
to the phonocrapb, a.d then she wanted
some chewing gum. A hard-hearted police
man looked on with a broad grin on his face
as George pmd for her last purchase.
"Those bananas are just too nice for any
thing," she exclaimed as she moved toward
the trim-stand again, but at that moment
the door opened and George took her by the
arm and li-d her on board the boat with vis
ions of I- rumps and cholera morbus Hunting
lore his eyes, while the policeman was
thinking of ringing in for the ambulance.

WONG GEE ON FREE.
The " Thomas - Stamp" Forger
Evades Prosecution.
Hii Story of a Strange Con venation With
Deputy Inspector Simon —A Report
Sent to Washington.
Wong Gee On. the Chinese forger of tha
Thomas stamp, was released from custody
yesterday on au order received from the de
partment at Washington, and is now to be
found in bis usual haunts in Chinatown.
The. forgeries that resulted in the in
carceration of Thomas and Lee Gee in the
Count; Jail ate still fresh in the public
mind, but tho guiding mind behiud the Chi
nese automatons has remained a mystery,
though considerable speculation lias been
indulged in. These speculations were so
closely followed that iv the revenue and
Custom-bouse circles two factions were
established, and these factions will not call
a truce until the mystery has been solved
and the originators of the nefarious scheme
unveiled, liut the public is not apt to have
to remain long in ignorance, for Wong Gee
On is impressed that he has been made a
tool of to the extent that bis liberty for
years was Imperiled. He. talks freely.
It will be remembered that on Friday, the
21st nit., the discovery of the Thomas stamp
frauds brought forth fruit in the arrest of
Lee Gee and Wong Gee On. At that time
no one dreamed of any one being back of
tha two Chinamen, but soou a rumor leaked
out that the Collector of Customs, T. Q.
4Wm.
Worm Ore On.
Phelp*. and Collector of Internal Revenue,
J. C. Quinn. as well as the deputies in both
departments and the Special Agency of the
Treasury, looked with suspicion on Special
Kevenue Agent Thomas as being the forger
of his own name. This rumor was bruited
until through oft repeating it became an
accepted truism, and Agent Thomas was
placed with the burden of proof on his side.
At last Wone Gee On made a verbal confes
sion on the promise to Special Agent Evans
that he would not be prosecuted, and it was
this assurance that nullified his confession
mill brought about his final release without
proceedings being instituted against him.
This turned the drift of rumors from
Thomas. He was vindicated, but his vindi
cation did not satisfy the orheerj, as the ru
mored "white man," or "Ah Gow," as
Wong Gee On called him. was still undis
covered. All this time .Deputy Inspector
C. I*. Simon, at whose house Lee Gee hud
been arrested, was exceedingly zealous in
ferreting out the frauds. Some said he
was overzeulous, but be that as it may, his
zeal caused him to be suspected in turn.
Search was made of his record. His foot
steps throughout Chinatown were followed.
Theft after theft were found to have been
perpetrated in raids on Chinese stores where
be was present as an Inspector.
He was called befort) an investigating
committee composed of District Attorney
Garter, Special Agents Evans «nd Eldrlclge,
Collectors I'lielm and '.Juinu and detectives.
The only question canvassed was bis pos
sible connection with the frauds as their
originator. What their finding was has not
been made public, though it was presum
ably in his favor, as he was not dismissed
from the service. However, the work of
sifting the frauds did not cease, and it
promises to be morn lively now that Wong
Gee On is accessible by the press and all
interested in ferreting out Chinese opium
frauds.
Wong Gee On was visited last evening at
his rooms on Sacramento street, by a Call
reporter. He talked freely and seemed in
the best of spirits over his release. He told
the story, of the forgeries in a connected
manner ami threw several side lights on the
affair that will soon become a matter of de
partmental investigation, as his story as
stated last niicht in the presence of several
witnesses will be sent by Consul-General
Li Wing You to the Chinese Minister, who
will in turn submit it to the department at
Washington.
He said he was induced to make the for
geries, 8000 in all, by Lee Gee. He com
menced work in July, and it took iron)
twelve to foil rteen days to practice up and
finish the lot. He then delivered them to
Lee Gee. For this stupendous forgery he
received S3 a thousand, or rather was to re
ceivi*, as he has not yet been paid. tie said
that at first he hesitated to write the stamps,
but that a banquet was tendered him at
Wing Lung's place, 707 Jackson street, a
store in which Lee Gee was partner. The
rest of the story is best given in his own
words:
'• \V hen Lee Gne and I were arrested we
were taken to Special Agent Evans' room (7)
in the Appraisers' Building. There we were
shin in with Mr. Simon while Mr. Evans
was out. Lee Gee and Simon seemed on
i it t mate terms. Lee Gae said : 'You say
Mr. Thomas gave you the rubber stamps
and the samples, and that you did the for
geries for him. Say ho gave them in front
of the photograph gallery, 800 Stockton
street, at night and that a few days after
you delivered 8000 of them to him.'
••I hesitated; I was afraid. Then, Mr.
Simon, he said, 'If you don't say Mr.
Thomas did it I'll send you to jail.' Then I
promised to say it. Then Mr. Simon said :
'Turn all the evidence against Mr. Thomas
or we'll put yon in jail.' Then he turned to
Lee Gee and said: 'Tell Wong Gee On to
say that he delivered the .stamps on Friday,
August 'Jlst, and not Wednesday, for Thomas
was up in the country then and the story
wont stick.' Lee Gee told me this in Chi
nese, but I understood Simon's English."
As a matter of fact, A cent Thomas had
been in the country and had returned the
day before late in the evening. He had
been at Shasta, where he made one of the
largest seizures of opium ever made in the
interior, but up to the moment this alleged
conversation took place the fact of his ab
sence from the city was not known outside
of bis and the Internal Revenue depart-
inents.
Wing Gee On also gave the additional In
formation that Simon made his headquar
ters at Wing Lung's store, where lie was
banqueted and induced by Lee Gee to make
the forgeries. He has his headquarters now
most of the tin-.e in a subterranoau roonery
at 'M% Waverly place.
In the report from the Chinese Consul-
General to his superior at Washington will
be several cases of thefts of opium and
money during raids by the Government In
spectors in Chinatown. Three of these
have not been made public In the press.
The firm of Tsue Chong Wing, 715 Com
mercial street, claimed to The Call re
porter last night that Simon stole a five-tael
can of Hong-Kong opium in a morning raid
a few days singe.
Hoo Lung, the Washington-street Theater
dour-keeper, who resides at 811 Clay street,
i-laims that Deputy Inspectors Simon and
I'.ivi r made a raid in a neighboring cignr
shon, then broke down the door of his room
during iiis absence and stole a S'.'O gold
piece.

Out the Cold.
One of the most attractive exhibits at the
recent fnir held in lone, Amador County,

the great mountain ranges nro similarly por
trayed. The quiit was designed by Mrs.
Sarah M. Ml, irk of lone, who also performed
all the needlework, it being the result of
leisure moments during a period covering
over a year. Nearly all th» silk used is
pipces contributed liy friends of the lady, so

Rare Collections of Ferns and

The monthly meeting of the State
Floral Society was beld yesterday afternoon
at the rooms of the State Horticultural
Bureau on Sutler street Mrs. L. O. Hodg
kins presided.
A long discussion was had concerning a
location for the annual exhibition, which
takes place in Octo her. Many of the mem
bers are in favor of holding this exhibit in
a tent put up in a central portion of the
city, while others think that Pioneer Hall
would be much better. Nothing definite
resulted from the discussion, which was
succeeded by a talk on the feasibility of

referred to the Publication Committee with
power to act.
The members were very much pleased
with a magnificent display of ferns aud sea
mosse«, exhibited by Miss Mary J. West
fall, and collected at Pacific Grove. The ex
hibit included over one thousand sppci
mens of these sea flowers, numbering about
seventy-five varieties, ami is said to be the
finest on the Pacific Coast
It was conceded by all to be a collection
of rare beauty and great value. Miss
Westfall lias been engneed for four years in
this york mid has discovered many new
methods of drying and preserving these
marine beauties, of which very little is
known to those not conversant with the
mysteries of marine botany.
The specimens on exhibition yesterday
were of all shapes and shades, from the
pretty green network of sea lettuce, to the
bright crimson of half a dozen rare pieces
of kelp. In tne collection thcro are a num-

ber of new pieces, wbich are to be classified
as soon as possible. One specimen which
looks like a sprig of alfalfa with leaves
variegated with thorns, is to be called tbe
Westfallia in honor of the discoverer.
Miss Weitfall explained her method of
gathering the mosses, which are found along
the beach very early in the morning, also the
fascination of the stud}'. The collection
was visited last evenine by a number of
prominent merchants, and will remain on
exhibition for seven! (lays.
Miss WVstfall was given a vote of thanks
by the society and invited to prepare a paper
on " Sea Mosses of the Pacific Coast," to
be read at thn next regular meeting.

speech Introduced Senator William M.
Stewart of Nevada. This gentleman de
livered a lengthy discourse on free coinage,
a review of the silver question from the
time it became all issue in politics up to the
present time. II« said that the silver issue
had come to be a contest between the pro
ducers and absorbers of wealth. The gold
ring he denounced as a band of pirate*)

classes and intent upon manipulating the
laws in such a manner as to slop the coin

hand of the speaker, for statin;; the mine
owners demanded mure for their silver
than its market value. This Senator Stew

correctness. At the close of the lecture
the following resolution was adopted by a
rising vote:
