NEW YORK, May 2S.--An interesting

Topics Discussed i'm the Hotels
and Streets.
BLAINE is THE FAvORl7
Republicans East and West Are for
Him-An Albany Capitalist
in the City.

Mr.. Isaac Upham, of Oakland, is with his wife
and two sons at the Occidental hotel on his way
home from trip through the East. Mr.. Up
ham, who belongs to the famous New England
family OF the name, came to California in 1850,
and for q while taught school Later he was
superintendent of the county schools. Some
twenty years ago he went to San Francisco to
engage In business, and he has since been very
successful His prominence in the city Is indi-
Gated by the fact that ne has been president of
the Board of Trade. At present he is a member
of the firm of Payot, Upham & Co., wholesale
stationers and booksellers
While Mr. Upham has never held any office
except in the Oakland school board, he has
nevertheless been influential in Republican
politics, and he has usually been a member of
the county and state conventions. "Of course
California is for Blaine, first, last and all the
time, If he will take the nomination." said Mr..
Upham yesterday. s.No one begins to touch
him In popularity in our state, and have found
all through the East that he leads easily. II he
will allow his name to be used, the Republicans
are for him everywhere.
sis the Pacific coast good place for the sale
OF books? Well, the general opinion is that the
Pacific coast does not contain large literary
community, but you would be surprised to see
the large number of books sold here. The cities
out here do not follow the latest literary fash
ions and buy all the new books as Boston does:
but you will find that good, fair proportion of
the standard works find a market here. Then,
too some places like all the latest books. Santa
Barbara is an example. 1t has many Eastern
people who want to read the latest. Much de-
ponds on the bookseller. A clever one can build
up literary clientele in q seemingly unpromis-
ing community

ever, was the development and consolidation OF
the New York Central road, of which he was for
twelve years president. By his death in

might have had them had he cared to devote
himself TO politics.

AN ABUNDANT HARVEST.
Prospect of Livelier Business Soon
Minnesota for Blaine.

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. P. Brown, of Minneapolis,
and Mr.. and Mrs. II. ID. Brown, of Omaha, who
are making pleasure trip through the North
west, are at the Occidental hotel. The two men
are brothers, who are largely interested in banks
in Minneapolis and in Steele county, N. d.
Mr.. ]. z. Brown said yesterday: Business
has been and is quiet about Minneapolis, but
lately much better tone has prevailed. This
has been due in part to the prospect of abund-
ant crops throughout the wheat country.
Dakota has had more rain than in any sea-
son since 1884, and the outlook is in
proportion encouraging. have something like
a thousand acres in wheat, and l speak with
feeling in the matter. The last few seasons have
been very disastrous in Dakota-drouth, cyclone
hail and everything have combined to produce
partial crop failures. But we are all jubilant
now, and the country will be richer by millions
of dollars.
"There is not much doing in politics just now
Blaine seems to be without question the favor
lite Republican in Minnesota as elsewhere. If
Blaine will not run, think the state will be for
Harrison. good many were lukewarm to-
ward him, but the admirable speeches he made
during his Southern and Western tour have
turned them"

Among the guests at the Rainier hotel is
Mr.. Henry Dexter, of New York, presi-
dent of the American News Company.
This corporation, the largest concern of
the kind in the world, was organized by Mr..
Dexter and his brothers in the sixties. They
consolidated several firms of newsdealers, and
then began to open agencies in one city after
another. They also commenced to operate over
the various railways. Their agents now
sell books and periodicals on nearly every road
in the country, and they have agencies not only
in the principal cities of this country, but also
in London and several continental cities. ave

that magazine and distribute them all over the
country" said Mr.. Dexter last night "For in
stance, at one time we subscribed to 100000 cop
les of the Century each month. OF the first
issue of the Scribner Magazine, few years
ago, we sold 100000 copies, and SO
our work goes. The business is now
grown so large that we have divisions and SUI
perintendents and sub-compaLies and any
quantity of that sort OF red tape. We subscribe
to hundreds of newspapers and periodicals all
over the world, and carry on regular business

yesterday morning until number of non-union

The 'longshoremen claim that Captain F. n
Price took a contract for sacking the coal and
hired the non-union men 10 do the work at less
wages than the regular scale, and the union
men simply refused To go 10 work until they
