REINCARNATION OF ABUSH-STREET BOSS

Sara Rainey Is High in the Favorof the Examiner-

scheme to Send Hearst to the U. S. Senate— Phelan aRival—Assembly District Meetings To-Night

to Organize Republican Clubs,

Sam Rainey, once the despised bossof the Fan Francisco Democratic polit-

ical machine. is now the trusted ally

of the Examiner. Gavin McNab, whosepraises were sung by the Examiner, isno longer exalted as an apostle of pu-rity and reform.

Committeemen belonging to Jasper

McDonald's band of one hundred, thefive score whose authority to boss theparty in San Francisco was derivedfrom the Democratic Stat-' CentralCommittee, cannot understand why

Gavin MclStab gets the cold shoulderand Rainey the confidence of. the Ex-aminer.

To account for the change of frontand the reappearanoe of Rainey as con-fidential adviser of the Examiner, thestory is told that "A*. R. Hearst desiresto be elected United States Senator from

California. The insiders know . thatHearst entertains no admiration forMayor Phelan, and both the outsidersand insiders know that the Mayor's re-gard for Hear.-- is too slight for calcu-lation. I: is obvious to all who careto study the drift of politics under the

•surface that Mayor Phelan is in train-ing for the United States Senate. Heexpects that the Democratic party willcome day be restored to power in Cali-fornia, and that during the restorationa Senator may be chosen.

Phelan has lungs, money and ambi-tion. He is not destitute of brains orlacking In self-esteem. As an allaround talker and a liner-up he canhold his own with the hardiest of therounders. Hearst does not care to in-vite a controversy with a young manpossessing all these accomplishments,He add prefer to see Phelan destroy

himself by getting on a high horse andriding rough shod over the regular or-ganization of the party. A sagaciouspolitician affirms that this is the mean-ing of the Itainey-Examiner combine.Phelan is to be puffed up, lauded and

heralded as a leader above the party.In the fullness of his pride he will de-

mand the right to name the tick ofthe regular convention, and failing toobtain this prerogative willhead an in-dependent movement.

Hearst would be highly pleas- atth,- sight of Phelan bolting th.- conven-tion and joining th independents. Acandidate for United States Senatormust show a clean record of fidelity tothe party. Bolters seldom win the Sen-atorial prize. Even Republicans whooften treat the party lash with scorndo not forget hat D. M. Burns Joinedthe N. n-Partisans, and that his treach-ery gave to the Democrats the Legis-

lature which elected Stephen M. Whiteto the United States Senate.IfPhelan could be forced into the at-

titude of a bolter through the smoothwork of Rainey and the Examiner,

Hearst would consider that a greatpoint had been gained. It is well un-derstood that Hearst expects the Ex-aminer to secure for him a pliable dele-gation from California to the nextDemocratic national convention. Ru-mor has reached the Committee of OneHundred that Hearst wants a delega-

tion that can be used by Boss Ibroker.The alliance of Rainey and the Ex-

aminer is the leading topic of discussion

in the ranks of the Democratic push:Only eleven months ago the Examinerexhausted its resources of display typeto proclaim that Rainey, the infamous,was politically dead for all time. Therewas more glee in the Examiner officeover the political death of Rainey thanthe birds exhibited over the killingofCock Robin.

In big bold letters across a page ofseven columns the Examiner pro-claimed

•"RAINEY IS MAKING HISDEATH STRUGGLE AT SACRA-MENTO."

"M'NAB WILL HEAD THEFORCES AGAINST HIM."

Again in big type running across twopages the Examiner announced:

"BOSS RAINEY. CREATUREOF THE RAILROAD AND SUGARTRUST, FIERCELY FIGHTINGAGAINST A CLEAN TICKET."

In the Examiner of August 20, 1898,Rainey's political obituary was thuspublished:

THE PASSINGOF SAM RAINEY,

ONCE THE BOSSSam Rainey has passed into politi-

cal history. High up on the scroll ofthose on whom the Democracy of Cal-ifornia has stamped the mark of dis-honor his name *is inscribed. The peo-ple have kicked him into the outerdarkness. He has joined his old part-ner, Buckley, in the colony of polit-ical pariahs from which no man re-turneth.

The Examiner has fought Rainey-ism ever since the boss of the Bushstreet stable tried to put on the man-tle which had been torn from theshoulders of Buckley. Ittook yearsto overthrow that chief among* polit-ical bosses . Buckley was infamousbut able; his successor was simplyinfamous.'"

The foregoing is but a sample of a!big lot of P-ainey roasts in the Exami-Incr of last August. This man Rainey,i who is now the ally and confidential|adviser of the Examiner, is the sameiold boss of the Bush street stable, whohad tlje infamy but not the ability ofBuckley. His hand is in the politics of

j every Assembly district of San Fran-!Cisco, and no name is placed on the1 Examiner slate without the advice andiconsent of the resurrected and saintly

Sam. There is no question as to theidentity of the boss. He is not, how-ever, doing politics at the old stand.He has moved from the Bush streetstables to the Examiner office.

CALL'S GUESTS SPENDA DAY IN FAIRYLAND

<j-j C7EARI.Y 7<W) school children ac-NEARLYThe Call's invitation tocepted The Call's Invitation to

attend the cakewalk carnival|^ [[ matinee given in their honor

yesterday afternoon, and forthree solid hours sat entranced withthe brilliant spectacle that passed andrepassed before their wandering eyes.It was as. though they had been ad-mitted to the abode of the fairies fora brief peep at the wonderful thingsthey had been told about but neverdared hope to Bee. The changingscenes, with all their gorgeous color-ing! was like a panorama and heldtheir attention as though they hadbeen put under hypnotic influence,

but not altogether so; for at Intervalsthe spell was broken and the moving

figures of the floor, blazing with goldand tinsel, wen greeted with sponta-neous bursts of applause, all the morecomplimentary because sincerelygiven. It was a great day for the lit-tle folks who were being entertainedas the guests of The Call, and it wasa great day for the juvenile artist:.who contributed to the entertain-ment as well as the grown-up pi. -fessionals.

The carnival management was pre-pared to receive a big crowd, but itfailed to realize the magnitude of thetask it had been asked to assume.There was an early gathering in thestreet in front of the Pavilion long

fore the hour for the opening of thedoors, and the moment the portalswere swung upon their hinges a rushwas made for the interior that con-tinued until long after 2 o'clock. Thehalf-dozen ticket takers on duty work-ed as they never worked before andas they hope never to have to workagain. It seemed to them as thoughevery child in the city had swoopeddown upon them armed with a Callcoupon, and all clamorous for admis-sion to wonderland.

They came' in hordes, some accom-panied by their mammas and othersby their papas or elder sisters, and-ora" apparently alone, but fully con-fident of their ability to take care ofthemselves. By some unexplainedmiracle the management finally suc-ceeded In finding seats for all by thetime the signal for the entry of thegrand opening pageant was givenLed by Miss Pearl Hickman, the chiefdrum major, attired in her glitteringuniform and carrying a staff as asymbol of her authority, the proces-sion moved out upon the floor andthe hypnotizing process was well un-der way. The king and queen in theirchariot drawn by half a dozen har-lequins satisfied all doubters thatthey were really viewing a fairy spec-tacle, and they proceeded to settledown to a full enjoyment of the feast.

Tn the center of the floor, near theentrance to the Pavilion and in fullview of the audience, a large inclosurehad been arranged for the competitors

in the Chinese- baby show and theirparents, and from the tiers of seats by

which they were surrounded the group

of Orientals presented a peculiarlygorgeous appearance. The little Chi-nese abies had been carefully pre-pared for the beauty test and looked

as handsome and pretty as paint andcosmetics, together with splendid be-Jeweled headdresses and beautiful silk-en garments, could make them. Nextwere the Juvenile cakewalkers andfancy dancers. They were the center

of attraction, and after the judges hadmade their awards the little Celestialbeauties were surrounded by an admlr-

ing throng of ladies from the audience,

an intermission being announced to

afford an opportunity for a closer In-spection of the gaylybedecked midgets.

The Chinese mammas and papas wereinordinately proud of the attentionsshowered upon their offspring, and theparents of the prize winners made noeffort to conceal their delight. Sixprizes were awarded, three for boysand three for girls. In addition sev-eral of the babies were selected asworthy of honorable mention. Thewinners of first prizes were given gold

medals made in Chinatown, the suc-cessful contestants being i/oul Towand Yung Wing. The second and thirdprizes consisted of jeweled headdressesfor girls and Chinese caps for theboys.

The juveniles were in their glory andfairly outdid themselves. FrankieButtner. the three-year-old cokewalk-er, and little Margaret Cronin won newlaurels, while Blanche Trelease and

Harry Mangels gave an exhibition thatwas applauded to the echo. IreneDavis' Castanet dance, Lena Hall's co-covianne dance, Irene Wilson's skirtdance. Alma l'\u25a0 wen's contortion dance,Edna Honn's specialty dance, the Cu-pid dance by Daisy Belle Kormal andthe Highland "fling by Adele Nelsonwere all enthusiastically applauded, aswere others too numerous to mention.The usual professional, society andamateur cakewalks were put on andcontributed their full share to the en-tertainment.

Altogether The Call has every reasonto' feel well satisfied with the result ofits effort to afford an afternoon's en-tertainment for the school children ofSan Francisco, and that the latterwere satisfied was amply evidenced by

their actions.The evening programme was un-

usually elaborate; in fact, the carnivalimproves, like good wine, with age.

Of course, the feature of the show wasthe electric cake-- alk. which appearsto have made a decided hit, and thethree thousand people who composedthe audience last night applauded itenthusiastically. It is a novelty andsome fears were at first expressed thatthe wires which supply the currents

for the lights might become detached

while the dancers were going through

their evolutions and spoil the effect,

and tins did happen for a moment onWednesday night but Al White, theelectrician, has succeeded In arrang-ing tin batteries so that this diffi-culty has been entirely obviated. Thethree figures flitting gracefully acrossthe floor ablaze with electric lights

is a treat to all who admire the beau-tiful. Miss Hickman, Miss I.a Salleand Mr.Barr have received many com-mendations for the success of theirlatest novelty.

The delsartian cakewalk and artis-tic poslngs, under the direction of Mrs.L. Honn, also caught the fancy of alarge majority of the spectators, manyof whom appear to i.,- just beginning

to realize that a delsartian cakewalkis slightly different from a plantation

cakewalk.Last evening marked the beginning

of the contests for the prizes to beawarded by the carnival management,The contests are being judged by J. M.Cumming of this city, Harry C. Blairof Sacramento and L. C. Foster ofPortland, Or., and the last two atleast are preparing to take the firsttrain out of town as soon as the finaldecisions are announced, as there aresure to be a number of bitterly disap-pointed contestants. The professionalswent through the- preliminary "heat."and the judges selected live couples tocompete in tie- finals to-night as fol-lows, the others being dropped: J.Walker Cole and Georgie Brown, A. F.Williams and .Miss Rosseau, EverettBrown and Miss Simmons. F. G. Till-man and lady, and Mr. McMahon andAnnie Kelly. The juveniles and thesociety cakewalkers also had their pre-liminaries and will go on again to-night, the finals to be decided Saturdayevening.

This afternoon there will be anothermatinee for the children, the specialfeatures being a congress of juvenilecakewalkers and fancy dancers in ad-dition to the regular programme. Thisevening the Compaions of the Forest,twelve circles, will be in attendanceand in addition to the \u25a0 championshipcontests the electric cakewalk andother special features willbe put on.

BAG DEALERS FORMA BIGCOMBINATION

Have Agreed to Corner Over Five. Million Grain Bags,

The Price Has Already Advanced and May Jump StillHigher — An Overdue Ship From Calcutta

Complicates the Situation.

f—_jHERE is every likelihood that the[price of grain bags will rise to a

high figure before many 'lays have

X passed. This result is in conse-

quence of a combination made h>

about fourteen of the large »n-P?rte"£JJprivate holders, whereby over S.OW.WWbags have been cornered or set aside to

w2t for a rising market. The combina-tion was forme,, two weeks ago. and th

price has already advanced from one-

eighth to one-fourth of a cent, the ruling

rate now being 5*4 cents per bag.

The agreement entered Into by Balfour

Guthrie & Co.. Cutter & Moseley. Neville& Co.. S. Koshland & Co.. Ames & Har-

ris, Meyer & Wilson. Girvin & Eyre and

half a dozen smaller holders who have

bought bags on speculation, contemplates

the sale of all bags nnt so set aside. Afterthat the latter may be sold, but only by

permission of a committee appointed from,among the .balers who are in the com-bine. _ ,

It is a well-known fact that the. bag

market has been in a demoralized cond.-

tion ever since last year, when on accountof the shortage in crops the dealers lost

vast amounts of money and were left

with large quantities of bags on theirihands. The price this year has been aslow as 5 cents, which, it is claimed, is

Ilower than the importing price, that is,

Iincluding interest, long storage and insur-i ance This price recently advanced to'5% cents and slowly stiffened to 5% andIoi4 cents. The dealers say it is to guard; themselves against loss this season thatithey have agreed to "lock up' over 5.000.-

--1 000'

bags •by temporarily withdraw! them from sale. They disclaim any inten-Ition of forming a trust to force prices up,, but say they have simply combined as a;measure of precaution, One large im-:porter in discussing the situation said:1 "We have not combined to force prices

iup, but only to guard against futurei losses. Something has to be done, andIit was decided that the best way out ofi the difficulty was to remove a certainj number of bags from the possibility of :

Isale If there was any combination to I!raise the price bags would be selling at 10icents each to-day."

The fact remains, however, that though I

there 'in? been no appreciable advance lnprices so far, there is no telling whatwill happen when all the "free" bags, orthose not bound by the agreement, willhave been sold. There is no doubt thatthe farmer will be called upon to pay ahigher rate than he is paying now.

Another circumstance that is affectingthe. market to a considerable extent isthe fact thai four or five million bagsare on the British ship Macduff, now 162days from Calcutta. Her destination isPortland, Or., where the demand for hagsis bout to begin. No uneasiness, how-ever, is felt at her non-appearance asyet. and only 20 per cent reinsurance hasbeen offered. The average trip is about125 days, and should the vessel fail tomaterialize the bag .situation would befurther complicated. A large per cent ofher cargo has also been pledged by thedealers as not being for sale until allother bags are disposed of.

It will require about "5.000.000 bags tomove the barley and wheat crops in thisState. Oregon, Washington and the con-tiguous territories, and should the Mac-duff never arrive it would mean the tak-ing up of all bags no-* on hand or inprocess of manufacture, with hardlyenough to go around. Itthe Macduff doesnot come in two weeks, the price willcertainly jump to 6 cents or higher. Sosays one of the importers who lias sub-scribed to the agreement. This he ar-gues, will place the handling of bags ona paying basis.

Another feature of the bag situation is

the fact that signers of the agreementare selling bags, not pledged, to outsid-ers and it is said that the latter are buy-ing them on a speculation, seeing thatthe price is bound to go higher, whenthe combine is left with the bass cov-ered by the contract. One of the biggestimporters denied that there was any bag

trust in the deal. . \u0084

"It is not our Intention, said tie, to

raise bags to any unreasonable price. "Acsimply have come to the conclusion thatwe must stop selling at a loss. Ihe ar-rival of the Macduff *-"\u25a0 •ae»' e.th*L.Tf}"0affair, and with her cargo there will bebags enough to supply the demand. Iam certain that the prices will not ma-fertalH- advance. We do not want the ideato go out that we are trying to squeeze

he farmers for that is not. our Inten-tion Ban sold at a

further losses\u25a0:, ad it is to prevent furtherthat we have subscribed to the agree-

ment."

SULLIVAN IS NOT THE MAN.

I Mrs. Lecari's Recollection Was Not

Good as to the Masked, Would-BeRobber.

Captain Gillin and Detectives Graham

The Mission Police Department, in order

to give Lecari and his wife a fair chanceto identify Sullivan, had him placedamong five of the trustees at the Centralstation yesterday. They at once identifiedhim as being one of the masked men whoentered the store. Not quite satisfiedwith this proof Captain Gillin instructed

his detectives to make a further investi-gation of Sullivan's whereabouts on thenight of the hold-up.

_Acting on these instructions Graham'

With the sound of hammering fists and Jthe splashing of gore the Lung divorceMilt, as far as the evidence is concerned, j

ram- to a fitting end yesterday. Fromthe beginning the divorce scandal of the jnavy has developed dramatic scenes. Afew days ago Mrs. Lung hurled herselfInto the corridor outside Judge Murasky's

courtroom and proceeded to batter Hen ;True, a witness in the case. Then she pro-

ceeded to enact a scene which caused an jadjournment of court. Yesterday it was

not the principals in the scandal but the i

lawyers who made things howl, and outof it all but one lesson has been learned. |

Crittenden Thornton has been made awarethat it is expensive to attack opposingcounsel; also that it is not safe to strikea smaller man, even though he may be |seated at the time. " •'

\'\u25a0•'\u25a0.-_ .The cross-examination of Mrs. Lung by

Mr Thornton was the cause of the diffi-culty Mrs. Lung had testified that dur-Ing a visit at a certain hotel she had beenInsulted on two occasions by one of theguests and said that her husband hadavenged her by slapping his face. "Don'tyou know." said Thornton, "that the -lif- .Acuity at the hotel is simply the result ofyour imaginative brain?" AttorneyGeorge D. Collins, who represents Mrs.Lung objected to the question— that itwas uncalled for and ungentlemanly.

"What's that?" said Thornton."The reporter will read my objection,"

said Mr. Collins. The reporter read theobjection, and then Thornton, who was onids feet, made a rush" at Collins, whowas seated at the bar. Thornton swunga vicious blow at Collins' head, but Col-lins ducked, and the fist of his assailantjust grazed his cheek. At the same timeCollins' fist swung around and it crunchedInto the Ups of Thornton. Thornton'shead went back from the force of theblow, the blood spurted from his lips andthey clinched. Over they went, the chairin which Collins was seated crushing un-der the weight of the combatants.

At this point Bailiff Cooper sailed intothe fight. He made a reach for Thorn-ton's collar, • but the frenzied lawyer Ilaunched out from the rear and landedone of his heels on the bailiff's rightankle. It stopped Cooper but an instant,however, and then he lifted Thorntonback Into his seat, and' the battle wasover judge Murasky, who had sprungfrom his seat at the opening of hostilities,Immediately adjudged Thornton guilty ofcontempt of court. Mr. Collins then aroseand said that he hoped the court would'be lenient with Mr. Thornton, as he evi-dently had been actuated by uncontrolla-ble impulse.

••J don't want any excuses made for mebj Mr. Collins." said Thornton. "What Idid Idid with deliberation and am willingto take the consequences."

Thereupon Judge Murasky. fined Thorn-ton $50, but as he did.not have the amountin his 'pocket the court granted him fivedays in which to procure the necessary jcoin. A minute order of the action of the •court was made, and the cross-examina- Ition of Mrs. Lung continued. This con-cluded the case was submitted on briefs, jAll matters of fact being clear to thecourt, but one thing remains to be set- |

tled—the matter of Dr. Lung's residence.Should it be found that under the law hehas no residence In this city and county

his case will fall and he will have to at-tain a residence before he can wage sue- jcessful litigation against his wife Eliza;beth for a divorce, "a vincule matrimoni.

Kirn Oy Is Under Age.Judge Lawlor rendered a decision yes-

terday in the case of Kirn Oy, the younggirl who was rescued from a life of shamein Spofford alley a few weeks ago. Ah'Sgun, who alleges that she is- the girl's

mother swore out a writ of habeas cor-pus. After the hearing yesterday JudgeLawlor dismissed the writ and remandedthe girl to the custody of the MethodistMission.
