though no mention is made of Captain
Haritwen's companions there is no doubt
but that they also are safe on board the Tup-
per. The Upper is expected to arrive at
Victoria any day.
When the dispatch was received by Mr..
Ross a plumber of hunters from the Suther-
land, Mary Ellen and j. II. Lewis were in

heard the news.

Upper 260 and the w. p. Sayward 200.

No Move Toward Calling the Convention
Together.
No action has been taken yet toward the
calling together OF the Republican Nominal
ing Convention for the Fourth District. and
Reuben II. Lloyd. the Chairman, is still
reticent concerning the matter.
As stated some days ago, General Cut
ting had been practically agreed upon for
the nomination to succeed Mr. Morrow, but
the active hostility Of the National Guard,
which was provoked by the announcement
of his name, led to a reconsideration, and it
is asserted quite positively that he is no
longer factor in the fight. His friends still
cling to the hope that he may pull through,
but it is evidently forlOrn hope, and when
the convention meets he will be in the posi-
ton of the man who fell cut OF the balloon.
All hope of inducing Horace Davis to ac-
cept has not yet been abandoned, ana there
is growing belief that If the nomination
was rendered him with any show OF una
nimity he would accept.

The List Now Complete Except a Few
Vacancies.
Registrar Smiley reported to the Election
Commissioners yesterday that the form OF
the tally sheet for the ensuing election had
been decided upon. 1t is very complete in
its design, and by It's aid, together with the
fact that the precincts are so much smaller
than formerly, there is little doubt but that
the returns of the city will be complete
before midnight following the day of cleo
ton.
The chief labor OF the commission yester-
day was to examine and qualify the az
pOintees for the precinct boards Of the
EOrty-siXth, FOrty-seVenth and Forty-eighth
Assembly districts, and the work was COM
pleted with but very little interruption.
Nothing remained but to go back and
qualify those who had been substituted in
place of abSentees or those first named
who could not serve. Among the list Of OBJ
iectiouable names was that of William
Collins, who had been named for the Sec
ond Precinct of the Thirty-second District.
The Registrar recalled the tri1ing Cir
cum,tance that he served in the same ca
pacity in that precinct two years ago, where
it was found upon the recount in the
Mayors case that the results had been doc
tored in favor of the Democrats by some
thirty or forty votes:
Mr. Smiley said he had looked into the
case carefully, and an Investigation of
Collins antecedentS and associates had con-
WINGED him that he is not fit man for the

pubhcans 10 the position, but it was a little
significant that right after election he was

Surveyor Smith reported that he had also
looked into the case, but found nothing
against Collins. He moved that the APP
pOntment be confirmed. But the commits
sion decided to look still further Into the
case.
1t was rumored that Mike Smith, ex-
County Jailer, made the complaint against
Collins.
Daniel S. Witherby's case, very similar to
that of Collins, was also laid over for
further investigation. Witherby served in
the Seventh Precinct of the Forty-seyenth
District, where such outrageous frauds were
perpetrated two years ago. He denies hav-
ing had anything to do with the affair, and
wanted TO be appointed again that his char
a2ter might be indicated.

the Day at Once.
The Republican County Committee will
meet tonight to decide upon day for the
holding of the municipal primaries. and
may also fix the day for the holding of the
convention. They have not yet decided
whether to hold one or two conventions, but
the prevailing sentiment seems to be in favor
OF the former, The call has been blocked
out but the date and that portion of it
relating to the latter question have
been left open for further discussion.
The primaries will be open, as in the
case of the election of delegates to
the State Convention, and it is not thought
that there will be any trouble in any of the
districts. All factions seem to agree in the
belief that with a proper show of harmony
and the entire elimination of "boss T"
methods, there will be every chance for Re-
publican success, and they realize, on the
other hand, that IA repetition of the disgrace
