railroad construction and what can be
done by us TO promote the same; and TO take
such concerted action toward that object as
shall appear to them desirable. And that they
be requested to call this body together again
whenever needed for the purposes indicated.
The Committee Oh Resolutions reported
as follows:
WHEREAS. The counties represented in this
convention have heretofore been entirely de-
pendent for travelling and shipping facilities upon
one railroad company; and whereas, the experi-
ence OF the past has demonstrated that II
Is impossible for one overland road to furnish the
necessary transportation for our rapidly increas-
Ing traffic; and whereas. large area OF our
counties SO represented Is as yet nnde;
yeloped by reason OF having no railroad
to the best interests OF our people TO
be dependent upon one railroad company; and
whereas. several OF the counties herein repre-
scented have never had direct railroad commun-
cation with the East, and fully realize the neces:
silly Of being on an overland railroad as the road
to prosperity; therefore. be it
Resolved, That IL is the sense OF this conven-
ton that every assistance and encouragement
possible should be extended TO some railroad
company having Eastern connections and having
the ability to extend their road through our
counties to the city Of San Francisco; and be 1t
further
Resolved, That we will do all in our power to
assist any such competing road 10 securing rights
OF way and depot grounds In our own respective
counties, and will use all our influence after the
completion of snch road to obtain for 1t all the
patronage possible.
The report was adopted.
Thompson of Tulare invited the conven-
ton to meet at that place when called to-
gether again.
The meeting then adjourned to reconvene
at the call of the Chairman of the Executive
Committee. The Executive Committee met
Immediately and chose James A. Clayton
Chairman, to meet at his call.

the race to Hummer, with Winsow second, Ryder
third. After making their decision known, the
Judges made the following remarks to the crowd
that surged all over the track: ave are OF the
opinion. which Is entirely corroborated by this
heat, that there was job In It, and that while
Hummer was honestly driven 10 win, the others,
and Winslow in particular. did not try to

qgyer Of sHp Ddssass however,
we should rule of or fine heavily the offending
parties. but we have finally concluded to expose
them thus publicly as sn !. sr punishment rs at
again at this meeting, the very hrst suspicious
movement OF any nature whatever will cause
their immediate expulsion" These remarks
were loudly applauded and show that the sacra-
mento judges are determined 10 prevent frauds
that may come under their notice. Their ex.
ample should be initiated by every association.

LOST IN THE ARCTIC.
Wreck of the Bark Thomas Pope
Off Point Hope.

The balk Thomas Pope, which acts as a
tender to the whaling feet in the Arctic
and whose arrival has been expected for
the last few days, will never enter this or
any other port again, as she has been lost in
the Arctic.
TIE news was brought BY the schooner
Oscar and Hattie, Captain Haveside, which
arrived yesterday, after passage Of nine
DAYS from the Fox Islands, with a cargo of
Whalebone, furs and ivory, consigned to j..
n. Knowles.
Captain Fisher and Steward Choate came
down on the Oscar and Hattie. The rest of
the crew was taken on board the United
States steamer Bear. Captain Fisher was
interviewed at the Office of the agents and
related the following particulars regarding
the loss OF the Pope:
ION the morning of August 26th we came
to anchor on the north of Point Hope, on
account Of the heavy gales, and intended re-
naming there until the weather moderated
The gale increased in fury however, and on
the morning of the 27th | ordered the two
anchors put out to hold the vessel. The
gale had gone down considerably by even
ing. and one anchor was taken.
During the night the wind shifted to
north-northweSt and a perfect hurricane
came down upon Us. The anchor that was
taken up Was hpdl0 put out, UNt Ilau lCG
been long fast before the chain parted, leaV-
ing US to depend upon one anchor, which
was not sufficient to stay the vessel from
going into the breakers.
Realizing that the vessel would be
wrecked if we went in shore, l ordered the
masts cut away TO stop her progress, but the
gale was master Of the situation. All efforts
were futile, and we drifted in shore. The
whaling bark William Lewis was near, and
by almost supe-human effort we managed
to get the crew on board of her and aban-
doned the Pope. At the time of the acct
dent the Pope had on board about 5000
pounds of bone and 60 barrels of sperm oil,
valued at about $50, Zoo, which, l believe, is
covered by insurance"
1t is reported that Captain Fisher OF the
Pope offered Captain Sherman of the steam
whaler William Lewis $4,000 to tow him
out Of the breakers, but that Sherman re-
fused. After Board of Survey had con-
demned the Pope, she was sold TO Captain
Sherman for $500.
The bark Thomas Pope was Of 226.S6
gross tonnage, length 1906, breadth 27;9
and depth 14:7. She was built at Malta
poisett. Mass, in 1856, and was owned in
New Bedford, Mass. The agents in New
Bedford are J. & W. R. Wing, and the San
Francisco agents are Wright, BOVINE & Co.
The bark and cargo were insured from
Point Hope to San Francisco" and as the
Pope was lying just this side of the point
when the disaster occurred the owners are
saved from actual loss and the insurance
companies will have to pay.

ROBINsON'S GENEROSITY.
The City's Orphans Invited to Sec II
Circus on FRIDAY.

The City's Orphans Invited to Sec His
Circus on Friday.
Mr.. Robinson has invited all the orphan
societies in this city to visit and see his Won
derful circus on Friday afternoon, follow
ing out custom observed not only by him
self but by his father before him. During
the sixty-six years existence of Robinson's
circus these invitations have been issued
every season.
All asylums regardless of denomination,
are invited. and the metrCns of the various
institutions DESTROYS of allowing the little
people under their charge to enjoy the treat
so dear to every boy and girl are expected
to notify the circus agent, Mr.. Josepbs, at
the Russ House, of the number of children
likely to be present. Mr.. Robinson has
made special request that this be done as
soon as possible by the persons in charge of
asylumS so that ample accommodations may
be arranged for the comfort of the young
sters.
The Boys and Girls Aid Society and the
Youths Directory have also received inyi-
tatons to the grand performance.
How truly the poor children will enjoy
this very kind forethought of MIR. Rob
inson can well be imagined by parents
who can afford to take their own along and
treat them to Central Park. Every child

GUN AND GAME.
The Occidental COursing Club Ar
range for a Meet.

The monthly meeting of the Occidental
Coursing Club was held last evening at 81
Kearny street.
The club was well represented, owing to
the announcement that preparations would
be made for the annual c0ursiDg meeting,
which will be held at Newark Park on
Thanksgiving day, November 9th. In the
absence Of the President the Vice-President,
T. j. OKeefe, occupied the chair The
Treasurer reported that he had balance
of SIS % on hand
1t was decided that two stakes will be run
for, namely, the alleged and puppy stakes,
which will swell that prize TO about $500, very
handsome sum, which will be apr eciated by the
fortunate owner OF the winning dog
John Grace, the popular spo! tsman and cours-
ing enthusiast, was unanimously chosen judge
and James Wren to the office OF slipper. Field

ready begun TO exercise their dogs, and as there
Will be ample game on hand on the day OF the
meeting a jolly good time Is anticipated.
CoURsING AT NEWARK.
The second meeting OF the Newark COursng
Association Will be held on the grounds October
OH. Valuable prizes will be given for competi-
are runners from the old plains 1t will beh Dove
the owners OF dogs TO have their charges in
proper condition Tor hard racing.
The California Kennel Club-the leading Or
ganiZation OF its kind on the Pacific Coast-will
hold meeting this evening at 436 Montgomery
street. The holding Of field trial meeting this
winter will be discussed. 1t is thought that tile
club should take action In this direction.
About 300 sportsmen, who gathered In the de-
pot Of Fourth and Townsend streets last Sunday
morning. were sadly disappointed when they
learned that the early train which usually runs TO
San Bruno and way stations had been taken of,
and the change In railroad time made the sports
men stay in the city an hour later. This news
was not relished by the marshhuDters, who were
anxious to get TO their shooting quarters while
the tide remained favorable for rail shooting.
The dogs, which were almost rs numer-
Gus as the hunters, were packed like sardines
In a baggage-car which, owing to limited space,
could not conveniently accommodate more than
twenty brace. Some OF the tortured CANNES
broke loose from their stalls and 1t was with
great difficulty that the baggage-master sue
ceeded In capturing them. The regular passen.
gers inquired II there was travelling kennel
show on board SO loud was the canine chorus of
the many animals who growled, fought and
kicked up general p0wwow until San Bruno
was reached.
Owing to The very inferior Accommodations for
dogs on the line 1t Is thought that the number Of
hunters who will patroniZe the road this year
Will be limited. Another great drawback Is the
change in time, which will not meet the wants
OF The sporting fraternity, whose aim II is to get
TO their shooting grounds as early as possible.

ALL SETTLED.
The Trainmen Are Satisfied With
the Schedules.
Southern Pacific Employees Get Substantial
Increase in Wages-Fourteen Divisions
Affected by the Change

At 10 o'clock yesterday evening the South
ern Pacific Trainmen's Grievance Commit
tee and the company officials resumed their
conference concerning the wage schedules as
submitted to the men the day before.
The schedules proposed by the company
giving the proposed change in the wages of
passenger trainmen was accepted without
discussion.
The question of wages for men in the
freight-train service was not so easily ad-
justed, and the matter of computing by the
old system or by mileage occasioned long
discussion. The company has never favored
the idea of paying freigllt-men by the mile.
On the other hand the men employed on
divisions where it is possible to make a
total mileage fer month OF 1000 miles, hold
that they should receive more pay than the
man on another division who makes only
$500 miles for the same time.
Both sides made concessions and the re-
suit has been a uniform freight and passen-
gen schedule to take effect October 1st By
the terms of the schedule passenger con-
ductors running between Sacramento, Or-
den, Red Bluff, Portland. Lathrop and Ell
Paso now receiving $40 and S1l5 per month
are TO receive SIS.
Brakemen on the same routes now receiv-
ing SO per month are TO receive SIS, and
baggagemen who now get SIS are to get $50.
Bluff and Lathrop conductors now getting
$40 per month are to have $40.
Brakemen who now get sos are to get $40,
and basgagemen now receiving SO will, by
the new order, get S15.
The freightmen running between Sacra-
mento and Ogden, Dunsnuir and Ashland,
Bakersfield and Ell Paso, are to receive:
the conductors 500 per month, Instead of
$50, and the brakemen $50. instead of $40.
On all the valley lines conductors are to
receive sos, instead Of SIS, and brakemen
SIS. instead of S65.
This system, which is organized on mile
age basis, affects fourteen divisions; but
while the pay schedules, as far as monthly
wages 60, are uniform, the extra pay, COM
puted on mileage method, is not and can
not be made so. The wages by the new
order on the different divisions of the syS-
tenn are equa lied as nearly as possible, and
the result is entirely satisfactory to both
sides, especially to the men.
The Grievance COMMITTEES will meet the
officials of the road to-day at o'clock for
the purpose of formal ratification of the
agreement, after which the committeeman
will return to their respective stations.
Mr.. Fillmore Will meet committee from
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
to-day for the purpose of discussing griev-
ance said to exist in that body relative to
promotions.
Next week a Grievance Committee from
the Locomotive Firemen will call at Fourth
and Townsend streets to discuss with Mr..
Fillmore the same subject.
In neither of these cases will the subject
of wages be discussed, as the engineers and
fremen are said to be entirely satisfied with
