ored men present, among whom are 81. c.
Atwood OF New York, x-Consul-General
to San Domingo; c. c. Curtis of Iowa,
E. l.. Dawkins of Florida and William A.
Chrstwaite of Tennessee.
President Taylor prefaced his speech by
a denial of the story in morning paper
crediting to Mr.. Taylor the statement that
President Cleveland had not appointed a
single colored man to office without first
consulting him (Taylor). Continuing
President Taylor said that IL the Demo-
cratic party would follow where Cleveland
led it would remain in power as long as
the memory OF man should last. He said
that fully one-fifth of the negroes in the
United States were Democrats. He urged
that the resolutions adopted by the con-
vention should condemn lynching and de-
mand discontinuance of immigration for
two years.
A committee was appointed to send a
message of congratulation and greeting to
President Cleveland.
During the afternoon the National DEM
ocratic Club elected G. II. j. Taylor OF

A. White of New York, sergeant-at-arms.
C. A. Hughes. delegate from San Fran
cisco. presented resolution condemning
the A. P. A. and warning all negroes to
refrain from joining the association. stating
that it was un-American in its character,
unconstitutional in its organization, and
especially unworthy the consideration of a
race of people who have so bitterly felt
the heel of oppression and who are at
present waging peaceful warfare
throughout the Union against oppression
and discrimination.

and a sudden termination was brought to
the meeting of the regularly selected dele
gates to tie annual High Court Conven-
ton as Mr.. Aitken and two-thirds OF the
delegates left the meeting and the ex-
PEELED foresters. A scene Of great excite
ment followed ana for time it appeared
as if the wordy encounter would lead TO
fsticuffs. Ill feeling had existed among
the members of the order for some time
and an effort was made to smooth matters
over a. to-day's convention. Hostilities
were Immediately opened up on the call
ing of the convention when Secretary
Wharry allowed to officiate certain Of
fcers who had been suspended from the
order by rule of the supreme chief ranger.
There was no other alternative for Act
ing Chief Aitken but to annul and revoke
the High Court charter.

approach the United States marines, who
had been on duty ashore, returned to their
vessel. The resident Americans. being
thus abandoned, became very indignant.

flag from their houses and stamped ON it
in the streets. They then hoisted the
British flag. =.
On entering the Government house the
Nicaraguan authorities hauled down and
tore to shreds the Mosquito flag. They
placed under arrest numerous Americans

NOT THIS SESSION
Will Reilly Pass His FUND.-
ing Bill.
CONGRES SSMEN WAKING UP.
Huntington Has Both House
Committees.
CONGRESSMEN WAKING UP
yET THE TIDE SETS STRONG.
1t Is Questionable Whether He Can
Spend Money Enough to
Turn It..

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.--Senators and
Representatives in Congress have received,
as the latest contribution to Pacific rail-
road funding bill literature. copies of
Adolph Sutro's telegram on John Boyd. A
Congressman said to-day: 1.-The sort Of
literature We are receiving from the anti
railroad bureau in San Francisco is thor
oughly characteristic of the Pacific Coast
citizen. But do you know that this sort of
campaigning is bound TO have its effect9
l am willing to admit that the very blunt-
ness of these circulars, calling things by
their right names, has led me into an in
vestigation of Pacific Coast affairs, and l
have been Influenced to believe in the same
way
The House document clerk said to THE
CALL CORES pondent to-day that his stock
of reports of The Credit Mobilier. Northern
Pacific and Union and Central Pacific
Investigations had long been exhausted,
aBd there were numerous requests made
for these documents. AL of this indicates
that there is just now very lively interest
in Pacific railway affairs. Members are
posting themselves so as to be ready to
deal with this question. which is certain to
come up next session.
Mr.. Sutro's fears that Huntington may
manage to slip his funding bill through at
this session are groundless, but he is right
in his belief that Huntington will at next
winters session make desperate attempt
to pass Reilly's bill. He has the Pacific
Roads Committee of both houses well IN
hand, but whether he can afford to spend
enough money to changsthe tide that has
set in against his bill is the question.
There is certainly very strong feeling
against temporizing any longer. This SEN
timent is so apparent that Judge Mcguire
has no fears whatever and says the bill
will never pass the House of Representa-
tives Nevertheless, he realizes the power
that Huntington Yields and does not wish
his expressions to lull San Franciscans
into a sense of security, causing them TO
relax their vigilance and aggressiveness.
The active personal interest of Repre-
sentative Blair in the success of Reily's
Dill is accounted for by Califoruians here,
who remember that he is indeb ed to the
Stanford estate in the sum of $4,000, bor-
rowed money, as shown in the published
inventory of the estates assets.

The committee on platform Is having a
redhot time of it and will not report to-

ALDERMAN COUGHLAN'S LUCK.
Received an Internal Machine Which
Failed to Explode.

CHICAGO. Aug 14.-Chy Alderman
John Coughlan received by mail to-day an
internal machine labeled photographs, so
wrapped as to appear like package of
cardboard. The machine was evidently
intended to explode when opened, but
failed to do SO, and when examined by the
City Chemist was pronounced very dan
gerous. Alderman Coughlan has been
prominent in the crusade against opium
joints. and believes the receipt OF the in-
fernal machine is the result OF his activity
against the proprietors of these joints.

! THAT STANFORD SUIT.
OIney Wants 1t to Come to Trial as
Soon as Possible.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.-There is reason
to believe the Governments claim against
the estate of ex-senator Stanford will be
tested in the courts before there has been
any actual default in the payments.
Under the conditions of the action the
Acknowledgement proposed if the execu-
trix would waive any right she might have

the suit he would gladly consent to have
proceedings begin at once. No conclu-
sion las yet been reached. But it is ex-
pected that no objection will be made to
that course, especially as speedy adjndi-
cation of the claim would be in The iDter-
est of the estate. The suit also would de-
termne the status of the Governments
claim against C. P. Huntington and others,
and on the whole: an early settlement of
the claims would #be TO the interest OF all
concerned. go
