CURED TREASURES FOUND.
The Famous Jesuit Mines in Mexico Said
to Have Been Located.

HERNosILLo, Mex, March lathe
long-sought-for mine of Tumacacori has
been discovered, the fortunate pros
pector being James Fisher. 1t is located
about twenty miles west of Tubac, in
the state of Sonora. This famous mine
was discovered originally by the Jesuit
fathers, who worked it for many years.
The Apache Indians finally drove out
the priests and brutally massacred the
religious pioneers. but the latter, rather
than leave their wealth to their perse-
cutors, obliterated all traces Of the mine,
which has been hunted for ever since by
persons who had heard the story handed
down by the Jesuit fathers. Mr.. Fisher
states that he has abundant evidence in
the nature of old workings to support
his claim of having without question
discovered the original Tumacacori bo-

! The Fight for Delegated to the
National Convention.
STOCKTON, May 3.-The fight for del
| egates-at-large Is badly mixed to-n might, but
the consensus of opinion is that the four
winners will be Rdeout. Estee, Barnes and
Spence. Both De Young and FELTON, have
absolutely refused to draw out aud il is
generally believed that both will be de-
feated unless their friends persuade them
to let 90. FELTON, is much the stronger of
the two, especially in the country, as it now
stands. and his friends are working for him
like tigers.
There is, however, a feeling on the part
OF great many mem bers of the party that
FELTON, should, as a Senator, be content TO
keep out Of the convention, while at the
same time they are opposed TO DE Young.
To send the latter this time, ii Is said, would
be accepted by the people Of the
State as an Endorsement. and would
make Mike a clear-cut issue in the coming
campaign. This would be certain to en-
danger the legislative ticket. as there are
thousands of Republicans in the State who
would vote the Democratic ticket rather
than take the chance of Mikes election.
To defeat him Tomorrow, however, will be
TO put him on the shelf, where he can re-
main. and leave the field clear for a decent
man.

a bitter pill for Mike to swallow. and he is
angry that IL Is so. On his arrival here he

STOCKTON, May 3.-When the credentials
committee met Lionel A. Sheldon presided
and the room was packed TO suffoeaton.
Kelly was on hand and so was Dorm. The
latter acted for his boss, as did Ruef, who
explained that he was not allied TO any fac
tionS but had been engaged as an attorney.
His announcement that he was not with
either side provoked roar of laughter,
which discounted him, but he managed 10
proceed in good form.
When the committee was called tA order
it was announced that contests would be
presented from several districts. Billy
Harrington was on hand to ask that the SIX
votes claimed by Martin Kelly in the
Twenty-eighth District be thrown out, and
Registrar Brown claimed fraud in the
Thirty fourth. Judge Schell of the Thirty
fifth appeared TO claim that his friends mad
been jobbed Wilson acted for the alliance
in the Thirty-slXth. Dorm, who Is with
Kelly. stated that they would retaliate if
this Issue was pushed by contest ting every
district carried by Burns and Wilson. He
hoped it would not COME to that, for be did
not care to take the ugly quarrels Of the
city into the convention.
Some little discussion Of general nature
followed and the committee. by a uuan-
imOus vote, resolved to ignore all contests,
except in the Thirty-tOurth and ThiTty-siXin
districts.
Ruef objected even to this in the interests
of the party. 81 witnessed the late priuIa-
ries in San Francisco" he said, "and
more disgraceful affair never was seen. At
every p0lling-place in the city dozens Of
toughs and thieves and thugs and heeleTs
had assembled, until no decent man would
come to vote. Ii we are to bring all this Gp
now we will bring the party into discredt
all over tile State"
Then John L. Dare, representing the ALI
ance people in the Thirty fourth, presented
q number OF aftidaviJs. He handed in Fn
affidavit signed by S. RDyrseD, a police
officer. in which be claimed that after the
closing OF the polls on the day Of the pri-
maries he bad seen county committeeman

Conference Report on Chinese Restriction
Adopted by 80 to IS.
WAsHINGToN, May 3.-In the Senate,
after the usual morning business, Morgan
called up the Presidents message on the
international conference as to silver coin
age.
Dolph tried TO get action first on the con-
ference on the Chinese exclusion bill, but
Morgan refused TO give precedence to that
subject remaTking that there was not so
much pressure about il, that the Senator
fro m South Dakota. who desired to address
the Senate, might not have the courtesy OF
appearing.
Kyle then proceeded to address the Senate
in favor of the free coinage of silver.
At the close of kyles speech the message
was again laid on the table, Morgan giving
notice that he wanted 10 speak on it.
The conference report on the Chinese ex-
clusiOn bill was then laid before the Senate.
AS soon as IL was read Sherman stated
though member of the conference COM
mittee he was unable TO sign il. lie was
very willing to provide for any necessary
legislation for the restriction of Chinese
labor. and thought the Senate bill had dons
so very broadly. He looked upon the in
PRODUCTION of Chinese laborers through Cam
ada as an insult TO the United States. Such
incidents created an excitement which some
day might be the cause Of great difficulty.
Those who believed that the United States
had right to trample on treaty and dis
regard 1t might vote for the conference re-
port without conjunction, but he did not
feel at liberty to do so.
Dolph Of Oregon defended the report
Dawes opposed 1t as being a violation Of
the treaty.
Vest was not disposed to violate treaties,
but considered that self-p preservation was
the first law OF nations as we'll as Of indi-
Yi1uas.
Palmer could not vote for the conference
report because OF the provision that China
men coming to the United States could not
be admitted TO bail. which was unnecessarily
harsh; also because Of the provision for the
arrest of Cinnamon not provided with GER
titicates.
The vote was then taken on the confer
ence report which was agreed to by 80 ayes,
- noes.
The vote was as follows:
