General John Bidwen Sure to be Their
4 Nominee for Governor.
SAX FRANCISCO, April Sth.-The Silver
Star House, on the corner of Pacific and
Sansome streets, is the headquarters of the
Prohibition party in this city, and it is
thither that The delegates to the conven-
ton, which meets to morrow, wend their
way to report their arrival in the city and
discuss the prospects of the party in the
next campaign. The number Of delegates
so far reported is comparatively few, being
mainly from the extreme northern and
southern portions of the State
1t is expected, however, that there will
be considerable influx tomorrow from
the counties in The immediate vicinity of
this city.
Although there will be Csc persons en-.
titled to seats in the convention, it is not
believed that there will be over 200 present
in person, the others being represented by
proxies. Thus Los Angeles, which is en-
titled to III seats, will be represented by
from six to ten delegates, who come sup
piled, however, with proxies for the rest of
their associates. San Diego will be repre-
sented by two delegates, who will swing
thirty votes, and the same order of things
is expected from all the far-away counties.
Large delegations are expected from So
noma, santa Clara. Alameda, and other
counties from which access is easy.
The convention, as stated yesterday, will
assemble at ii A. NJ, and will be called to
order by Rev. George Morris, while Charles
Henderson will act as Secretary. The
nomination of General Bidwell is now a
foregone conclusion, the delegations from
the Southern portion of the State having
been instructed to cast their votes for him,
The great strength shown by General Bid
well will undoubtedly bring to his aid all
all those who wish to be with the winning
side, and at present the outlook is very
favorable to General Bidwell obtaining
the unanimous vote of the convention for
Governor.
Sonoma county's delegation have little
private fight of their own on hand, being
desirous of knocking out the Sunday-Iaw
plank which was inserted in the last plat
form. There is some danger of this pro-
ceeding creating breach in the harmony
OF the convention, as some of the delegates
are reported to be welded as closely to this
plank as they are to the prohibition plank
Sonoma's Prohibitionists, however, include
a number of Seventh-day Adventists, and
it is claimed by them that the plank in
question partakes too much of the nature
OF a union of church and State.

DESERT OF SAHARA.
A Big Scheme to Flood 1t From the Red

New YORK, April Sth.-"Henry B. Sla-
ven," said civil engineer of some note,
has just sailed for Egypt on what was
given out as pleasure trip, but 1 have
reason to believe that there is big scheme
back of it, no less than the old one of cut
ting canal from the Red sea and flooding
large portion of the Desert of Sahara.
Slaven, you know, made a pile of money
out of his dredging contract at the east or
easy end of the Panama Canal. He used
to be druggist in San Francisco. when he
and his brother, so the story goes, bought
OF poor inventor patent by which dredg-
ing is done by steam through any kind OF
soil. The Slavens have made fortune,
and, like most of the canal contractors,
they got big payments for whatever they
did tor the stockholders so far away in

has come here with slate made up or has
that intention in his mind, let the slate,

Allegations that He Sent Money to Deasy
in Sacramento.
SAN Francisco, April Sth.-Nothing of a
startling character was developed in the
Blythe case this morning. Only one wit
ness, Washington Meeks, testified, but to
nothing new. The greater portion of the
morning session was consumed in reading
the affidavit of Felix Tracy, agent of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S Express at Sacramento, in
which he deposed that no money was ever
received from San Francisco by Jeromy
Deasy through that company
He said he had thoroughly examined the
books for the year 1877, when Deasy testi-
fled that Blythe sent him 81, 200 with which
to defeat the bill allowing females to sue
for perpetual alimony. The only name
discovered by Tracy at all resembling
Deasy was that of -. Dace." who he sub
sequently identified as ;onfectioner. The
object of Tracy's affidavit was to discredt
Deasys evidence, who claimed to have sus-
tanned confidential relations with Blythe.

VICTORIA (B. C.l, April Sth.-Among the
passengers who leave Victoria for the north
to-day will be Lieutenant Stockton karr.
the young Englishman who two years ago
attempted the ascent of Mount ST. Elias, in
Alaska. On his present trip Lieutenant
karr will ascend the Yukon, White and
Altschik rivers and the east branch of
Copper river to their sources. From the
Yukon he will go to Chilcat and then, if
possible to Dry BAY by a trail which is
known TO the Indians and will lead straight
across Grand Plateau
The Frank Leslie's party of newspaper
men are taking an entirely different route
from that which Karr proposes to follow.
They are to descend Copper river to its
mouth, and then come south by the United
States steamer Pinta. 1t is possible that
this party and Karr may meet, but the lat
ter will travel alone, save for his Indian
guides. He travels in the interest of the
Royal Geographical Society of England,
and expects to be absent about four months.

CALIFORNIA HORSES.
They are Sold in the Bast Entirely Upon
Their Pedigree.

New YORK, April Sth.-The question
having been raised concerning the effect
the sales of California horses here have had
upon the market for Eastern horses, several
horse auctioneering farms have been inter-
viewed. Ali agree that the market has not
been effected. The following sums up the
general opinion OF the auctioneers: Cali
fornia men sold their horses on the basis of
pedigree. There are many fanciers of pedi-
gree, hence good prices; but the average
man buys horse of which performance,
instead of pedigree, is guaranteed Regular
buyers are as numerous as ever. Sporting
men buy pedigrees, but men who make
horse markets possible buy horsefssh only.
So the market is as lively as ever" The
general idea of the auctioneers seems to be
to depreciate what they cali pedigree
sales" No dissatisfaction with the pur-
chases OF California blood horses has been
expressed by the purchasers.
