The California Delegation Wired to Vote
for the Ex-Secretary.
The executive committee of the Republi-
can State Central Committee held meeting
at its headquarters last night. From the
number of politicians OH hand in the lobby
during the session it was evident that some
thing was in the air. The object Of the
meeting was supposed 10 be to make ar
TaDgements for the ratification dem0DstTa-
lien of the Presidential nomination at Min
neapOlis. The presence of Colonel Cham
berlan, president Of the Republican League
clubs; 5. NJ. Shortrdge, who is an active
and enthusiastic Blaine man; John c.
Quinn, secretary of the Republican ALL
aBce, WHO is for Harrison. and others, gave
rise to the suspicion that something was on
the tapis. The suspicion was confirmed
when after session Of over two hours the
meeting was declared adjourned, and the
secretary announced that the adoption OF a
resolution, OF which the following is copy,
and which was sent 10 the California dele
cation ut Minneapolis, was the only busi-
ness transacted:

The announcement OF the passage of the

present, who thought that the committee
went outside OF its duties to interfere with
or Instruct The California delegation who
were the judges of the wishes OF their con
stituentS ana the will OF the Fresno con-
yentiOn. The resolution was interpreted
as a piece Of cffieioHs interference and not
calculated TO produce ihe harmony desired

Italians In south America.

though checked in 1890 by the troubles ia
Brazil sprang up again in 1891 10 13S, 902
from the port Of Genoa alone. Buenos
Ayres and Rio de Janeir0 received The great
bulk Of these emigrants. But there is
characteristic in all Italian enligrants which
is well known. Like the Chinese they
have always had an eye aud a heart fixed
on home, and when they have made a
little hoard Of money they generally come
back. The number of Italians that came
back from America last year was no fewer
than Jap. The figures show that the tide
of Italian emigration has been diverted
from the River Plate. and has set in en-
tirely for Brazil, in spite Of the very bad re-
ports which are sent from there as to sick
ness and difficulty of finding remuneratiYe
employment. The simple reason is that
the Brazilian Government provides all Ital-
Ian emigrants to Rio with free passages.

ENGLAND AS A WAR POWER.
Ben Butler Says She Always Hires Other
People TO Do Her Fighting.


Great Britain never had more than $4,000
soldiers from her own Islands between the
four seas on any battlefield, and those were
at Waterloo, while we had in our late war
more than that number to starve or die of
wounds or sickness in a single prison. Does
any one believe, asks Ben Butler in the North
American Review, that England will ever
forget that at the close of our war we dis
banded quite 100000 of soldiers, and that
