La San Francisc, Yesterday the
NOn.Partisan Anti-Chinese State
Convention decided not to nominate

during which several motions rela-
: tive to adjournment were made.
During the turmoil Chairman Nc
Glashan declared the Convention
adjourned sine die.
4 large number Of delegates come
forward. and amid scene Of much
confusion loudly protested against
the adjournmea: of the Convention
,i&- die. The Chairman and the
Executive Committee had bv this
time withdrawn to the ante-room
4 delegate moved tina: Mrs.
Gordon take the chair.
Mrs. Gor1on:-This adiournmen:
sine de Is for political purpose.
| say this attempt at an adjourn
neBt is an outrage and We wont
submit to it. We will let the cha,.
man see that lie cannot run this
convention for the Republican or
any other party. Cheers and
esnfusion.l Delegates have come
here from all over the State, from
one to six hundred miles distant
from this city. and now they are
turned loose withou. Flushing the
business. This is all because they
would not sell this convention. I
vas assured on this platform that
We could have $50, 900 given to this
convention for the purpose OF a
campaign If We wouli nominate /
third State ticket and put it in
the field. Cheers We are not
however. going TO sell this conven-
tion and the atte,np. TO disband Us
in this fashion is an outrage.
Cheers
At this point the chairman re
turned to the plaifarm and blandiy
inquired what was the matter.
After hearing the protests. he re-
stunned his seat, tic motion to ad-
journ sine de was reconsideyed, and
the convention then adjourned un-
I'll today.
The convention is pledged to OPP

Today will he the Lively ore Of
the week. The almost unanimous
vote for adjournment until this
morning shows that all the candi.
dates feel that they have not quite
reached the coveted majorities and
take kindly to delay. The number
Of candidates for the different ofii-
ces aud the eagerness OF the scram-
BILE show that the ticket is con
sidered a winning one. The Gov
ernarship tangle Will be the hard

work.

silver Preferred to Gold In
France


France.
The following appears in sne of
our exchanges which may prove of
interest to those interested in the
silver question and Its relation to
France.
Instructions have been issued by
the Treasury to its agents to with
draw from circulation the gold
pieces of FIVE francs. In fact. they
have already almost disappeared
from circulation; they are disliked
BY the public. as from their small
size they are easily lost, and for
the same reason the loss in weight
by fraction is greater than is the
larger god coin. Their ectire with
drawal will enable the Bank of
France to put greater number Of
silver five franc pieces in circula-
ten. Although no such inetruc-
lions have been publicly given in
regard to ten franc coin, it is prob
able that they have been quietly
Withdrawn, for they have become
rare for some time past, and if re-
tanned at the Bank and Treasury
Offices this. may account for a par:
Of the increase of the gold reserve.
The public prefer silver five frame
pieces; in spite OF their weight, to
gold of less than twenty francs.

The French merchant navy, states that
since the law passed five years ago
came into force the amount paid in the
way of subsidies to native shipbuilders

having risen from about f15O,OOO the

there has been an increase of 3O7 in the

CLIMBING THE BROKEN.

Ane spirits OF Walpurgis Night Risins
before the Enchanted Tourist.
The first time climbed the Broken
was glorious August morning. Az
we began the ascent, the whole earth
was redolent with . thousand per-
tunes. Purple and gold, heather and
gorse, covered the earth with a ROYAL
splendor, which the dark frs and
larches threw into yet stronger relief;
ana all the time the early morning sun
dancing and playing on every leaf,
was coloring the scene with a marvel
Gus beauty. But this did not last long;
soon flowers were rare, the heather
lost its brightness, the frs became
stunted. the air chill and summer q
thing OF the past. As the scene be-
comes more and more desolate, invol-
unfairly the Faust Walpurgis Nacht
scene rises before you, with all its
strange. weird compound of tragic and
comic, pathos and mirth-the widest,
ooldest dream conceived by human
brain. Mephistopheles and his motley
crew dance mockingly around. and.
struggle as you may, YOU can not
escape their spell.
half way up the mountain there is
an immense ruin, whether the work of
nature or the remains of some citadel
made BY human hands has never been
decided. The stones are SO immense,
they tower above the rock so threaten
ingiy, that as you look you feel you are
IN the presence of one of natures own

that it seems hard to believe that man

relates that Hartz squire. fired with
the ambition of owning a castle, asked
the devil to assist him in building. The
evil one. of course. gladly consenting,
offered to begin the work the same
night but stipulated that. as reward
for his trouble, if the castle were fin

PRIMITIVE OLYMPUS.

Life IN an Ancient Town Which Has Not
Progressed With the Rest of the World.
In the village of Olympus much of
the primitive old life is left. The men
carry the thick hair garments which
their wives weave at home. they wear
their hair long and shaggy, and they
govern themselves by a sort of parlia-
ment, which meets once year in the
village church. We were present at
one of these meetings, and were struck
by the Difference shown to the elders
and the attention which younger men
paid to the words which fell from their
mouths. At their feasts the same defer
ence to old age is manifest; the elders
sing first those idyls which are
only found on Karpathos, and
are of a genuine archaic TYNE.
Very few of them can write or read.
and any one that does so is honored at
once with the title of Diakos, or Dea-
con, and is person of great impor-
lance at the assemblies, for he it is who
keeps the minutes. and can write down
pretty nearly what he pleases, sitting
cross-legged. with the inkstand on the
ground before him. BY the stream
which flows down narrow valley from
Olympus to the sea great reeds grow
which are often used for the ceilings of
their fat-roofed houses and for hedges.
This they call nartheka, a survival of the
old word for the reed by which Prone
theus brought down fire from heaven.
And one can easily imagine the origin
of this myth by watching the customs
of to-day. A peasant housewife of
Olympus, who wishes to carry light
from one house to another, will put the
embers into one of these reeds to pre-
vent it being extinguished.-Fortn'g

A Grand Natural Gallery.

Prof. Forel of Morges, in the Canton
of Vaud, has discovered natural gal
lery which goes right across the lower
portion of the glacier of Arolla. in the

of $50 metres CTS yards) by the pro-
fessor and some fellow members of the

average width was from six to ten
metres, broadening out here and there
to fully twenty-five metres; the height
varied from two to three metres. AT

exploration of which they reserved Tor
