Iey's Order to Oppose Stephen N.

Politicians were busy yesterday discuss
inc whether or no Mr.. Morrow would con-
sent to accept the nomination rendered him,
but no one could be found who was able to
sneak with authority. No definite reply
has been received from him, and the belief
is general that he will be prevailed upon to
make the race. His friends urge that the
matter will be laid before him in such
way that he cannot afford to decline, and
that his campaign expenses will be gladly
borne by them.
Said one of them yesterday: "Mr. Nor
row has now been in Congress six years,
and. by industry combined with his natural
ability, has attained to an enyiable place
in his party in the House. For him to re-
tire now would leave California without an
experienced legislator at the national capt.
tai, and would be blow to the entire State.
do not see how he can afford to refuse to
run"
Reuben Il. Lloyd, who was Chairman of
the convention that nominated him and
who notified him of their action, has re-
ceived no reply 10 his telegram and is OF
the opinion that this is an indication that
Mr. Morrow will consider the matter care
fully before declining.
In the event of his retirement, however,
a new man must be sought for. Among
those already mentioned are Sam Short
ridge, George A. Knight, Colonel NJ. ID.
Heeht and Horace Davis. Which it would
be il is hard TO say. On the Democratic
side Judge Ferral. now that Coleman has
declined to run, is the most prominent
aspiIant and will probably receive Buck
ley's Endorsement for the place.

In conversation with Judge Hoffman a
few days before the assembling of the late
Democratic Convention at San Jose John
T. Carey, the United States Attorney, in
formed him of his intention to be present
at the convention, and his consequent ina
bility to try United States case soon to be
called in the United States District Court.
Judge Hoffman then said, with slight
twinkle OF his eyes:
by the way, General, l hear that you
are candidate Tor the office of Attorney
General of the State. Do you expect to be
nominated?'
b Nj Carey replied with some nervousness
of manner: 81 am forced to acknowledge
that | am seeking the nomination, and eX-
pect to be successful. But L am in the
hands of my friends, who viii undouot-
eddy preseLt my claims for The office in a

The Judge responded: 1t is also ru-
mored that your first assistant, Jackson
Hatch. aspires TO the exalted position of
Associate Justice of the State Supreme
Court. Does Dame Rumor speak truly in
this respect?' Well" said Mr.. Carey, 81
am led to believe that she does, and as
Hatch has made a brilliant record as NY
associate, and is a man of unblemished
character, l have no doubt lie will win the
coveted prize"
The Judge then reminded the United
States Attorney that it was we'll understood
that Charles l.. Weller. his second assist
ant, would be a candidate before the Demo-
cratic Municipal Convention for Superior
Judge of this city, and added: There
must be considerable Judicial timber orna-
menting the United States Attorneys
Office, ready for immediate public use."
MI Carey promptly replied: I" That is
so. and am proud of the fact. Undoubt-
eddy Mr.. Weller is candidate for the

The Judge Immediately remarked: " Gen
eral Carey, don't you think that it is your
imperative duty 10 provide for Thomas ?"
referring to Thomas NJ. Jewett, who for
thirty years has been the faithful clerk of
the office.

Glover has made practically no defense.
he was on the stand yesterday, testifying
IN ms own behalf, and stated that during
the time at which the letters were lost he
was mentally stupifird from the effects of
aDslnthe, which he drank in large guam
titles TO make himself forget his domestic
troubles.
The testimony of Inspectors Seyboldt and
Irwin was very clear and direct They had
suspected Glover and set a trap for him i'm
the usual way. They rented a room on
Dupont street. in Glover's district. and mad
letters sent to the fictitious business firm
located in the rented room. Many of these
letters contained money, and out of thirty
seven money-be bearing missives seventeen
were directly traced to the pockets of young
Glover.

In It's Usual Channel.

The turbulent desire of the public to in

attendance. Many attentive and interested
auditors, with several vacant seats. Stevens
dramatic work has been tried many time
and oft in the different theaters of this city
and always with the same result-lassitude
and WEAKNESS, due to the absence of vitality
of motive and nice attention to detail.
"Wife for Wife" is no exception to to the
rule. II is loud, strident and coarse in all
its phases, notwithstanding that the good
company Mr.. Stoekwell has assembled try
to do their best with it. Mr.. William Beach

tleman, and Edith Miss Ethel Brandon),
his wife, studies to correspond with the
characteristics of the Sunny South; but
Stevens has written his play without know
ing what these characteristics are, and con-
sequently the dramatis persona, following
his text and business, are badly astray.
The piece is a dramatic uproar, without
single intelligent CLEAN pervading it.

Captain Easterby's Method of Regulating

Referring to the variations of compasses

Captain Goodall OH the subject describing
the adjustment of the compass by simple
bar magnets, the method employed on the
United States cruiser San Francisco, Cap
tain A. Y. Easterby describes his expert
ence with the same system. In 1872 he
adjusted pinnacle compass with steel bar
magnets let into the deck Gust as they are
Oh tie San Francisco on the iron ship Le-
yantine, of which he had command. After
finally adjusting his compass he sailed from
Liverpool, but found on reaching Gibraltar
that it was out of order the different points
varying from 10, to 40o through the absorb
ton OF the magnetism by the ship. He
threw the bars overheard on arriving in
port and proceeded as follows:
/ swung the ship around to each point
of the compass, my chief officer ON shore

point as the ship warped round. Mean

ated rim of the latter uncovered. When

presented very ununiform appearance,
some points only subtending about

point, instead of being at right angles with
the north point, would be only about 500,
and the south point about 40 short of being
opposite to north. Yet however odd-lo6k-
ing the card was when developed, the ships
head was always in the direction indicated
by the compass, the local attraction which

WHERE is MIR. DEUPREYg

His Followers Evidently Ready to Enter

Eugene n. Deuprey's "Reformers," who
started out some time ago with such -four
ish OF trumpets, have fallen down, and if
not already in the fold with the rest of the
"lambs" bid fair to be there in the very
near future. They have suddenly diseov-
cred that they are Democrats, and as such
are in duty bound to support any ticket the
"boss" may see fit to foist upon them.
a few weeks ago they were heralding
abroad the information that they had de-
cided to send a delegation to San Jose to
demand recognition in the convention, and
this being denied them each and every one
was to conceal a bowie-knfe in his boot,
and when the time arrived they would
slash the ticket from top to bottom. Buck
ley was not TO be allowed under any cir
cumstances to have voice in the naming
of the ii ket, and they We're determined
never to submit to his dictatinn-no, never.
He was a basel uneOnscionable scalawag,
and his power must be broken, even at the
cost of defeating the entire ticket. Buck
ley was, in fact, doomed man 10 their es-
timaton, and was to be swept from politi-
cal lie by flood Of righteous Indignation.
The San Jose Convention met, and Mr.
Deuprey and his band of Spartans failed to
show up. They had suddenly taken a
change Of base and decided that they could
not afford to oppose the ''bOss" in State
politics. As Democrats they could not af-
ford to do so, and il Mayor Pond chose to
drive bargain with the boss" so as to Sc
cure the gubernatorial nomination they
would wink at that, but would reserve
their thunder for the municipal fight.
They are still reserving it. and there is an
ominous silence in their camp. Have they

The expose made by THE CALL of the
way the Democratic boss and his disrep-

coming election by stuffing the precinct
registers has had a most salutary effect.
The registration at the central office has
been increasing daily ever since, and if the

ciuct registration at the rate it is now going

who feel ashamed Of Buckley's dirty work,
are doing all they Can to denOunce it by en-
teTing their names at the central Office. The

excess of corresponding days last year, and
the grand total is good way in the lead.

Wilke Not Doing Well.

Mr.. Hubert Wilke. In "Peti, the Vaga-

Bush-street Theater as full as was ex-
pected or as the management would like.
He Is fine. manly looking fellow in the
leading role, and is doing his best as the
Hungarian gypsy. He has also fine barry
tone voice, and such music as falls to him he
sings in splendid style; but there seems to
be lack of conference in the ensemble Of the
piece. Mr.. Clay NJ. Greene is credited
with its construction; but the general
features do not show his hand. Greene is
flexible, cursive and superficial In his
work; but "Peti" has the Germanesque
element injected into it probably by Mr..
Wilke, and this clashes with the lighter
business of the ostensible author. The
result is a certain tameness. However,
Wike is artistic in a way and certainly
good singer. "Peti" may grow on the
public, and in few days, if Wilke con-
tinues his good work, may crowd the Bush
street to the doors.
