GENERAL GREENE IN FAVOR OF EXPANSION Expressed His Views in an Indirect Fashion on Board the China in a Fourth of July Address to His Command. NEW YORK. Aug. A Denver special to the Herald says: Brigadier General Greene Is on record for holding the Philippines. A letter received here this evening gives a verbatim report of his speech.

It was on the occasion of the Fourth of July exercises that soldiers aboard the China -were given lirst opportunity of hearing the voice of their brigade commander, General Francis V. Greene, who addressed them from the rail of the promenade deck. He was cheered to the echo as he stepped up snd greeted the assembly as "Fellowsoldiers ajid comrades." He said in part: "When Thomas Jefferson wrote the immortal words which you have just heard read, he little dreamed that 122 years later they would be read in the middle of the Pacific to an expedition of American soldiers bound to the conquest of a group of islands off the coast China. Yet the vigor with which Jefferson acted in acquiring Louisiana proves that were he alive to-day he would be the first to seize the opportunities which Admiral Dewey's glorious victory in Manila Bay have placed within our grasp. In Jefferson's mind there be no hesitation as to our duty to hold the Philippines and accept the destiny which has been suddenly thrust upon us." SCRAMBLE FOR OFFICE IN THE SILVER STATE Candidates as Thick as Flies.

SILVER PARTY IS DOMINANT "'NOMINATION EQUIVALENT TO ELECTION. Governor Sadler Hopes to Succeed Himself, but His Opponents Are Saying Many Mean Things of Him. Special Dispatch to The Call. REN'O, Aug. The political in Nevada has commenced to warm Up.

Even now, with but one primary 'election held (thafc of the Silver party) the political temperature in the shade that of the arid, sun-scorched desert seem like a cool summer Presort. The Silver party in this State feels so strong that, in the assumed ab! -sprice of a real contest with any other party, they think they "ford to have a red-hot fight among themselves. The production of silver is looked upon as a home industry, and I party feeis no doubt about making I peopl- believe that "the free and is still a live issue, that its adoption would prove a god- send, to the State, and, therefore, it does net anticipate any trouble In electing all of its candidates. It has not occurred to the leaders as I that "they cannot fool all the peo- pie ail the time." or that it might be far cheaper to the country at large to make the silver-producing Slates a present to value of all the silver they might produce to the end of time and keep a good currency, than to adopt their harum-scarum plan in order to give their home product a value which does i not belong to it. With unshaken confidence in its ity to elect whomsoever it nominates the silver party convention will assem- i ble here on September 8, with three active, hopeful candidates for guber- natoriai honors and almost ax; equal numfcer of prospective candidates for each of the oilier places to be rilled.

Up to. about three weeks ago It was thought that Governor Sadler would have little or no opposition, but as the came on and the talk about favors to prize-fighters and lack of Interest in and support for the State University and other State institutions crystallised, and since his best friends could not deny that he proposed to keep Bergstein at the asylum and Jones against Fitzgerald for the "Judgeship, a very definite opposition made its appearance, with the result, as indicated by the returns, that he was "turned down" in Washoe County to the tune of about 19 to 1, in Ormsby 10 to short, that in all probability he will not a single solid delegation, not even Eureka, where he claims resi.dence, and that he will fall far short lor the required plurality in the coir. tion. The Governor came down from apparently to see what had struck him. He found plenty of fences mend, but took an optimistic view the situation and hoped for better luck at the convention.

He is said to have asked the strained between Germany and America had to do with politics in Nevada?" without having received a satisfactory reply. The anti-Sadler delegates seem to be divided in their choice of the best mar. to beat him with between Evan i Williams, Lem Allen and A. C. Cleveland.

The mere mention of Evan Hams' name has brought to the front so many vivid recollections of him and "his little buckboard" in the Hale case, and his connection the Carson mint scandal in 1894, of which so far redound to every except glory or honor to him, that his friends have found themselves to stay by their guns or to draw the main opposition to Sadler their way. A. C. Cleveland, the alleged Silver Republican, once for his bolt out of the National Republican Con- vention in St. Louis in 1596.

has many friends among the delegates, but it to be an open r-uectlon whether the majority wish to make him a can- i didate against Sadler for Governor, or i against Stewart for United States Sen- ator. Many think that he is the only man who would have any chance against Stewart, since Newlands has not to make the contest and that he should be supported for that place in order to keep Stewart on the anxious seat and in a generous mood i Lem Allen will find strong support in the convention, Washoe County stand- ing almost as a unit for him. About the i worst that has been said against him i is that he has not had the benefit of anything extra in the way of education. does not understand all the advantages that should be offered to the youth of to-day at the State University. was hoped by many that Francis G.

Newlands would put up a fight I against Stewart for the United States Senatorship, but it peems definitely settled that he prefers the sure thing of a seat in the House, to a contest for the hitrher honor. There are so many "bees in so many bonnets" for the other places on the ticket that prabable candidates cannot be guessed at. The Silver, Democratic and Populist conventions all come Inside the same September 7, 8 and 10 presumj ably in the interest of general harmony and convenience in arranging matters between the three.

EXPECTED TO SERVE A YEAR CHICAGO CONTINGENT WILL BE SENT Many of the Men Went Into Debt in Order to Purchase Outfits and Have Only Served Two Months. The United States steamers Iroquois, i Vigilart and Active will be manned to- I day by officers and enlisted men from the i navy, and the naval reserve boys who wanted to seek fame at the cannon's mouth will return to pri- i vate life. Lieutenant Turner of the Iroquois will resume command of the naval battalion, while Lieutenants Shaw and Gunn of the Active and Vigilant wiil take up their uid duties on the naval reserve steamer Marion.

The members of the Chicago Naval Reserve, who came as far as Mare Island on their way to join Admiral Dewey's fleet in front of Manila, are to be into cars and sent homo. On their arriv.il there they will be mustered out of the service. There is a vigorous protest from the boys who are to be mustered out. Some of th.c officers are glad of it, but the great majority are angry clean through, and with Very few have good places await- I ing them and are actually out of pocket by remaining in Uncle Sam's service. The majority are in debt, and will have to hunt a job as soon as the naval reserve Is mustered out of service.

"The facts of the case are just these." one of the men yesterday. "When i Uncle Sam Issued a call for men. with a great many others I hastened to offer my i services. We with the expecta- tions of having to serve at least a year, and all of us purchased a full outrit. Borne of us borrowed the money with Which to pay for our things, and others went into debt to the Government for theirs.

Well, here we are mustered out after two months of service, without a job and our outfits on our hands. Of course, the men who got their things i from Uncle Sam will simply walk out and leave them behind them, but we who paid for our things can keep them as a memento of our naval duty in the service of the United States. The least the Government might have done was to keep us with the purchased sieamers until our term of service was up. The men on the Iroquois. Vigilant and Active are making Rome howl, but their noise is nothing compared with the outcry from the Chicago contingent.

The men on the dispatch boats nave seen some service. The Iroquois has been on a cruise down the coast in search of a derelict, the Active is now on Puget Sound and the Vigilant has done duty between here and the navy yard, but the Chicago boys have done nothing but eat their heart's out aboard the receiving ship Independence. They have not even been given a chance to see San Francisco, and their wrath knows no bounds. It is their intention as soon as they reach Chicago to lay the matter before their Cnnsrrt-ssmen and have them enter j. vigorous protest with the Government.

have not been given a chance to see anything of the war, not even the departure of the troopships. Fifteen dollars a month Is a poor salve to their wounded dignity. T.ie war has just begun anil the firrt gun will be fired to-day when men are replaced by enlisted men and the Chicago boys start for home. STANFORD'S NIECES AND NEPHEWS WIN SUPREME COURT PASSES ON TAXING INHERITANCES. The Same Opinion Includes the Universit A Saving of Money to the Philanthropist's Estace.

The Supreme Court has reversed tlie decision and judgment of the Superior Court of this city in the matter of im-1 posing an Inheritance tax on the nephews and nieces of the late Leland Stanj ford, as well as upon the property of the i Stanford University. Among the bej quests in the will of Senator S'anford was that of the university, valued at $2,500,000. He a.so bequeathed to his nephews and I nieces various sums amounting to I 000. The Superior Court, under the act of the Legislature of 1533, directed the execuj trix of the estate to pay into the city treasury the sum of $25,750 for the collateral inheritance tax, but the beneficiary relatives appealed from that order i in 1896, and it was on this appeal that the Supreme Court ruled as stated. The court sets forth that while the matter was i still pending the Legislature of March 1597, passed an act exempting from the payment of all collater.ii inheritance 1 taxes a "niece or nephew when a resident of this State." The Supreme Court, in meeting the conj tention of the appellant relatives and the university, holds that in accorance witn the provisipns of section 2 of article IV of the constitution of the United States, which declares, "The citizens of each i State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in die several States," the imposit of the tax is mii valid.

It says: "The charge imposed I upon the Inheritance by the statute under i consideration is in the nature of an ex! cize tax, but by whatever name it is dcs! ignaied, the power to impose the charge is referable to the power of taxation, and 1 the abovo provision of the constitution guarantees to the citizens of each State an immunity in any other State from the burdens of taxation upon their per! sons or property or occupations which I that State does not impose upon the per' sons or property or occupations of its own i citizens. "It must be held, therefore, that It is not within the power of the State, i while exempting its own citizens from a tax upon their inheritances, to impose such tax upon the inheritances falling to citizens of other States. "That the Legislature intended that i the exemption should extend to nephews I and nieces resident in this State is cvi! dent from its language, and that it did not Intend that the exemption should ex' tend to and nieces not resident iin this State is equally evident. But its intention In this latter respect failed by reason of its want of power to make such discrimination between the two classes. "It is not contended by the respondent t'nat the bequest to the Leland Stanford i University Is subject to the tax if the provision making such exemption applicable to past cases is vaild.

"The order is reversed and the Superior Court is directed to make its order for the payment of the tax in conformity with the opinion." QUITCLAIMS 808 UP. San Francisco Property Owners Again Buying Experience. The lawyers who seek to disquiet titles to San Francisco property by raking up ancient Spanish and Mexican claims are again in evidence In this city, as is shown by the almost dally filing of quit-claim deeds during the past two weeks from certain Eastern parties to various property -owners here, giving up all right, title and interest in whole blocks of San Francisco real estate for the nominal sum of $500 in each case. It is not in evidence that the purchasers of these quit-claims paid in every case $500 for their papers, but the lawyers' public price is the sum quoted. The old-time practice has been to work upon the fears of small property-owners, who have no means to fipht law suits, and to tell them that the safest thing to do, to avert all trouble in the future, is to purchase a quit-claim from the descendants of the old Spanish or Mexl-.

can owners, who, by some hocus-pocus, failed to deed their property away in a legal manner before their deaths, so that the families of these ancient gentlemen still have recourse in the courts of law. No mention of the statute of limitation is made by the lawyers handling cases, but the nightmare of endless litigation is allowed to do its work on the mind of the timid owner of the property. For some time past this sort of practice has been dropped, largely as a result of the United States District Court decision delivered by Justice Field, putting a quietus on these antiquated claims, but it now seems that the memory of the court's decision has sufficiently faded away to allow the lawyers Interested in this sort of business to resume opera- tions. On August 3 David Houston of New York through his attorney, John K. Moore, deeded by quit-claim to Michael McCann a trifle of four blocks of San Francisco real estate, Nos.

248, 251. 252 and 253. for the sum of $2000, or just JSOO per block. Since then various quit-claims to blocks have been given to local parties. Yesterday afternoon thf latest paper of this class was presented for record, it was from the same David Houston of New York, through Attorney Moore, to Charles G.

Butler, for the block bounded by Alma, Clayton, Rivoii and Cole streets, the usual consideration of $500 being named. WOODMEN DELEGATES STILL AT WORK THEY RECOGNIZE THE WOMEN OF WOODCRAFT. A to Create an Equalization Fund Another Head Camp Officer Proposed Reunion To-Day. Luring the forenoon session of the Head Camp of the' Woodmen of the World, Pacific Coast jurisdiction, yesterday, there was presented a resolution to create an additional Head Camp officer, to be known as Head Camp editor, whose duty it shall be to edit thy official organ. The matter was referred to a committee.

By unanimous vote it was decided, amid great enthusiasm, to recognize the Pacific jurisdiction of the Women of Woodcraft as the only auxiliary of the Pacific Jurisdiction of the Woodmen of the World. The adoption was greeted with three cheers and a tiger. Past Head Consul Cooper, Head Escort Siillman, Head Physician Hughes. Head Clerk Browning and Head Managers Hanley and Baird were appointed a com- mlttee to notify the Grand Circle of the action of the Head Camp. The ladies received the report with manifestations of great joy.

The seven delegates also walked out of the Supreme Circle at at. Louis and who organized the Paci- fie Circle, namely, Mrs. Carrie C. Van Ordsdall, Mrs. Helen M.

Southwick, Mrs. Anna P. Hawkins. Mrs. O.

A. Grlmshaw, Miss Inez Tillson, J. L. Wright and J. M.

Doretv, were then escorted to the Head Camp and there they acknowledged the honor conferred. On entering the camp the founders of the Women of i Woodcraft were received with cheer aftf-r cheer. The grand guardian. Mrs. Van Ordsdall, delivered a brief and eloquent speech on behalf of the circle in which she accepted the tender of recognition.

Head Consul Falkenburg made reply in which he depicted the future of the two brunches of the order. At the close of his remarks the official union was made complete and then there was a recess and an informal recentlon which the head consul characterized as "a good old-fashioned love feast." During the afternon the different com- mittires were busy discussing the several amendments proQpsed, one of the most important of was a proposition for I the creation of an equalization fund. The report will be presented at the next seHslon on Monday morning. The Grand Circle of the Women of Woodcraft was engaged nearly all day in the consideration of changes in the by-laws. To-day all the Head Camp officers, the delegates and the officers and delegates to the Grand Circle will go to San Lorenzo Grovr; where they will be the guests at a rounkm given by the local camps and of Oakland anil Alameda.

WHICH STATE HAS JURISDICTION? A Legal Opinion on Phases of the Botkin Case. A prbminent attorney expresses the following as his opinion on the questions of jurisdiction and extradition in the case of Mrs. Botkin: "In this case, it stand 6at present, the defendant is held merely upon a pre- liminary accusation awaiting extradition papers from Delaware. What the result will be upon the arrival of those papers can only do determined by an inspection of the papers themselves. "In this case two phases of the matter are presented.

The conflict ot jurisdiction between the courts of this State and Dela- ware involves the determination of two important propositions. namely; Tht- law of the place of the commission of the crime and th' Jurisdiction of the courts wherein it may be tried. "Even with these two questions out of i the way and settled in favor of the a.v- thorlties of the State of Delaware the I Important and essential element of ex- tradition cannot be concluded alone from these considerations. To determine the question of extradition will require the ostructlon and interpretation of provi- sions of the constitution and laws of the United States and the decision upon this Question may be demanded from the Federal courts if it is desired. "If it should be concluded that the courts of Delaware have Jurisdiction of trial over the which is now charged in the courts of that State, It is by no means clear that the process of interstate extradition could be accomplished.

"As I understand it the Supreme Court of the United States has held It necessary to the extradition of an accused person from one State to another that the terms of the article of the Federal constitution from which proceeding is derived must be construed in its entirety and that the essential element contained I in 'he article of the constitution must exist before the extradition can be carried out. That is to say. a person to bo extradited from one State to another must have been in the State seeking extradition and has fled from that and is a fugitive from Justice." MAY DELAY EXTRADITION Delaware Officials to Collect the Affidavits Wanted by Lees. DOVER. Aug.

The demnrifis of the San Francisco police for additional affidavits will cause a further delay In the bringing of Mrs. Botkin East. The telegram from the Chief of Police of San Francisco was received by Attorney General White at his home in Georgetown this afternoon, and he telegraphed that he would be here to-morrow to prepare I all of the additional material that is necessary to comply with the new de- mands. The requisition papers were sent away by registered letter, addressed to State Detective McVey, who will arrive in San Francieco Sunday. The only docu- ments accompanying the requisition were the certificate of the Deputy Attorney General and the warrant of arrest sworn to by ex-Congressman Pennln-ton, the i father of the two murdered women.

The only other material In the hands of McVuy is the attested transcript of the evidence taken before the Coroner's Jury. This includes the testimony oi the physicians who attended the women, which covers much of the ground specified by the San Francisco Chief of Police. It Will now be necessary for the Attorney General to collect the affidavits of Post- I master Gooden. who received the poisoned packet, little Harry Pennington, who took It to the house, and the others that were made ill by oatlr.p the candy. These can I all be procured in a single day.

and they will be forwarded to San Francisco not later than to-morrow evening. Pope Leo Very Weak. ROME. The Pope fainted twice to-day. His feebleness is causing anxiety, HE DISPOSES OF HIS DOGS Extravagant Pastime of E.

KENNA THE BUYER THE YOUNG COURSING PATRON IS KISSED. Leashmen Fear That This Will Result in the Breaking Up of the Menlo Kennels. Emmet V. Sullivan has sold his dogs. The young coursing man, who has latterly come Into prominence as a follower of the fleet hounds and the fast hares, has disposed of his kennels in their entirety to his uncle, P.

J. G. Kenna. Sullivan went into the sport of coursing with about Uie same soeed with which he has gone out. Peg after all of fine stock and rare was rapidly added to his kennels, which soon won the reputation, both for number and value, as the finest on the coast.

And now nothing remains to Sullivan but a memory of me big iigure he cut in dogdom. About two weeks ago Mr. Sullivan was missed by the coursing contingent. then fell from the paths that leashmen frequent. The cause of his absence was not then known, and none of his oid-time pals of the heatner hazarded a dream that Sullivan was soon to withdraw from the game which he had helpeu to make so popular.

The sale of nis hounds to his uncle, P. J. G. Kenna, came as a surp.isc to them. Sullivan has betn an extravagant patronizer of sport.

New kenne.s at the Union Park and new kennels at Memo consumed a great deal of his spare money and all of his time. The dogs drew heavily on his purse strings. At Menio he erected the most modern improved kennels and everything appertaining thereto. Trainers and keepers were supplied and every detail received full attention. Judge Bell was formerly in charge at Menlo, but since the advent or the avuncultr power P.

J. Riiey has been made the- directing superintendent. The dogs belonging to the bullivan Kennels will be run in the courses to-day without any change. Leashmen fear that the kennels will not be kept up by the Kenna who has relieved his nephew of the expensive pastime of capturing the elusive hare and supporting a herd of iastmoving animals? of the caiine ordr-r. Where Emmot V.

Sullivan has gone to none of the coursing men setm to know. They fear that he ia out of the sport for all time and that his dogs may not be individualized as members of the great Sullivan kennels in the future. Emmet v. Sullivan's meteoric career as the patron of the classic sport has ended. ANNIVERSARY JINKS OF LOCAL ELKS SAN FRANCISCO LODGE ENTERTAINS ITS FRIENDS.
