SAN FRANCISCO, April 25th.-
The members of the Republican
State Central Committee were
on hand promptly at the Palace
Hotel this morning, but the DEM
Ocrats were more tardy. Both
Committees went into secret sess-
ion. OF the Republican Commit
tee, nineteen were present, and the
Secretary stated that he held the
proxies of the ten absent m em bers,
who were in accord with the ma
jority in the choice of nOn-partizan
delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, but he would not use

this morning was firm against any
partizan movement in making
nominations. From the tenor OF
the remarks it seems possible that
if the Democrats should decline to
fuse, the Republicans might make
up full ticket of sixteen repre-
sentative Democrats and sixteen

people on that proposition.

VIRGINIA, New, April 25th.-
General Williams went down into
the Savage mine this afternoon.
He thinks very favorably indeed of
the new development and says that
if a miner were to be suddenly let
down to the east drift of the 1900
foot level and shown the forma-
ton in which ore was struck, he
could not but believe that there
was q mine there. The develop
ment, however, is only a good
prospect as yet, but the trend, dip
and character Of the ore vein JUS
tify sanguine opinions. He said
further that he proposed to push
developments both east and west
with the utmost vigor, and, to give
everybody fair show, he will re-
main here until next Monday eve-
ming.
The Justice mine is troubled with
foul air.
There is a probability OF Post
master Atkinson, of this city, be-
ing removed as soon as the report
of the government ageut is filed at
Washington.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-The
