This AOrning.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

SACRAMENTO, June 10. - There was q
meeting here to-day of prominent farmers
from Sutter, Yuba, Butte. Yolo. Colusa and
Sacramento counties for the purpose of de-
claring against the Caminetti mining bill
now pending in Congress.
The meeting resolved itself into the Sac
ramento Valley convention. The conven-
tion was the outcome of a Farmers Alli-
ance meeting held IN Colusa on the 28th of
last month. At that meeting resolutions
were passed protesting against the passage
of the bill referred to, and convention Of
the counties Interested was called for this
date
Robert Bosner of Colusa called the meet
ing TO order and stated its object as tenn
porary chairman. VIII S. Green was then
elected who in taking the chair stated that
since the recent river convention IN san
Francisco the impression had gone abroad
that the farmers had given up
But this was not the case, and it was to
inform the country that this was not the
case that this meeting had been called.
I'VE don't want any licensing of hydraulic
mining. and running of our lands and
rivers" said he We are not opposed
try. We would ike to sec it go
ahead, as it would be very good
thing for the State but we don't want
our lands buried beneath their tailings and
we don't want our river beds filed up. We
don't believe that hydraulic mining can be
resumed, however without injury TO us and
If they experiment we don't want to be the
sufferers by failure"
Committees on permanent organization,
credentials and resolutions were appointed
and reported, except the last named
committee There was committee

While thus engaged the committee left the
place and returned home. The convention
finally decided to hear the miners, but
could not find them then. The convention
met again tonight, but as the committee on

OUT OF POLITICS.
General w. H. l. Barnes Declines to Take
Part in the Ratification.

General w. H. L. Barnes Declines to Take
Part in the Ratification.
That W. Il. L. Barnes really meant what
he said when he uttered the words, Il am
done with Iolitics and will hereafter attend
to my own business" was brought home in
a very forcible way Thursday to the men,
bers Of the Republican State Central Com
mittee.
That organization a few days ago invited
the General to speak at the Republican rati-
fcation meeting as every State Central
Committee of the party had done for
a quarter of a century before. The
INTENDED honor was acknowledged by
the genial orator, who thanked the
committee for the invitation, which he
immediately declined with the announce
ment that he had done with the committee
and politics for good, and that there was
no use in urging him to reconsider his de-
termination.
Judge Fitzgerald. chairman of the COM
mittee, meeting General Barnes yesterday
morning, ventured to argue him cut of his
decision, but unsuceessfully.
do you see those gray hairs?" said the
General They have turned gray In the
service of the party, and what have got
for Ii? l meant exactly what l said in my
letter, and will have nothing further TO do
with politics"
Neither the committee nor General
Barnes IS willing to give the letter for pub
licaton. The General, however, makes no
secret of the fact that he is taking this
course by way of retaliating upon the COM
mittee for its attack upon him at the con-
ventiOn. He had worked for them through
every campaign for twenty-five years. and
asked nothing in return till he took a fancy
to 90 to the national convention. Here
after he-is determined to do no more plliti-
cal speaking, but TO look outfor Barnes first,
last and all the time.

THE DEADLY AZ0lMID.
High Explosive Which Makes s Great
Deal of Noise.

Explosion of aZoimid," remarked DR..
George w. Sloan the other day, after ter
rife clap of thunder. following the most
forked lightning that has been seen in these
paris for many day.
'AzOimid? ?" said the reporter, question
ingly.
Yes" said the doctor. II am evolving a
new theory as 10 what makes thunder. 1t Is
not due to electrical disturbances alone. for
we have these without thunder. AZOimid is
remarkable compound Of three atoms of
nitrogen united with one atom Of hydrogen.
This new compound has been isolated by
chief characteristic of this new COM
pound and its salts. formed with the
metals, is the appalling readiness and
violence with which II eXDlodes. Professor
Curtns and an assistant made several
attempts 10 determine the composition of
the ammonia salt they examined, and each
time the apparatus was destroyed with a
loud detonation, although one-tenth OF q
grain of the substance was used. The
platinum vessel in each instance was torn
to pieces, and the assistant at one Of the
trials, was seriously injured.
Have we got here the true source Of the
explosive quality OF thunderStorms - the
electric current decOmDOsing a portion OF
the moisture in the atmosphere. the oxygen
goes to form ozone, while the freed hydro
gen, continuing with the nitrogen, which
has lost its companion, oxygen, forms the
new compound, 8Z0imid, which is instantly
exploded and furnishes thunder. think
