slate as fast as he can and is bending

The name most frequently used in
connection with Burns alleged slate Is
that OF Terrence of San Diego for su-
perior judge. He is declared by some
to be high in Colonel Burns' favor in
consideration of promises given and
taken; by others with equal vigor and
with an equal appearance of truth, to be
against the San Francisco politician and
all his works so far as trades 90.
General Chapman and his friends
warmly deny that he is railroad candi-

the railroad, they say. and. besides, the
railroad is not a factor in the fight.

SACRAMENTO, June 1S.-The conven'
ton will meet at 2 O'Clock tomorrow in
the big Agricultural pavilion near the
capitol. 1t will be called to order by
Colonel Meyers of the state central
committee. 1t is said that George A.
knight is to be temporary as we'll as
permanent chairman. Both Colonel
Meyers and Mr.. Knight are reported to
be primed with speeches of the most
approved pyrotechnic pattern, and the
convention will doubtless begin its pro-
ceedings under most enthusiastic
auspices.
After committees are appointed and
other necessary preliminary business is
disposed of, adjournment may be taken
till Wednesday, though night session
is talked of.
THE PLATFORM.
The committee on resolutions will inn
mediately begin work on the platform.
1t will, of course. contain the usual dec
larations for tariff protection and con-
domination of the Cleveland administra-
ton, congress and the Wilson bill; for
the Nicaragua canal, harbor and river
improvements. etc., etc., over all of
which there will be little controversy,
except, perhaps, some difference of
opinion as to the best form OF express
sion. 1t is altogether likely also that
the platform will contain free silver
plank, plain and unambiguous. Ii there
is say fight at all, it will be over this
clause. But the contest ia likely to
occur in committee. and not in the con-
vention.
1t is the expectation that after the
nomination of governor on Wednesday.
if it can be reached ON that day. adjourn
ment will be taken till Thursday.
The precise action of the convention
in this respect, however. cannot be fore.
told. 1t seems safe to say that final
adjournment cannot be had before
Thursday.
EsTEE OPPOSITION.
It ia announced tonight that Frank
Short of Fresno will be the candidate of
the Estee opposition for chairman Of the
convention.
In an interview with an Associated
Press representative tonight Col. Burns
said that Mr.. knight would undoubtedly
be selected to preside. practically an

the candidate of the Burns element.

SAN Francisco, June 19.-The China
Mail says 1t Ia reported that Lin Kun
vi, the recognized leader of the Human

the three provinces of Kisngsu. Annui
and Kiangei, is about to resign. The
official reason given is ill-health, but the
real reason is said to be charges of Off

The outbreak occurred in Wakang, the
home of Liu, viceroy of Marking. The
outbreak was csuaed by the oppression
OF officials. and was speedily quelled by
soldiers, though several hundred heads
are said to have fallen.
Owing to the frequency OF piraticsl at
tacks near Ningpo. the merchants OF
that city are bearing the expense with
authorities of fitting out and maintain
ing four war junks to fight the pirates.
Details OF the fate of three men
killed by cannibals OF New Zealand
have been received at Yokohama. A
Japanese trading schooner went to the
island, and the German captain, q jap
anese assistant and a native OF the
island went ashore to trade. They could
not barter to their satisfaction and the
natives, enraged at not securing the
traders wares, killed the three men.
All were eaten in true cannibal style,
though one account says the German
and Japanese were not eaten, their flesh
beeing deemed too sour.
The revolution in Korea has assumed

the population of the country are in
sympathy with the rebels. In Chulla
Do, the gransry of the kingdom, the
people OF three districts are up in arms
against their rulers.
In Chin Do the magistrate was killed
and in Ma Choo the whole family Of the
magistrate, 10 in number, were killed.
A detachment Of 900 men sent against

The natives OF the Philippines. infuri-

made an unexpected assault on the fort.
They far outnumbered the troops, and
killed everyone in the garrison. The

men-of-war, which have been dis
patched TO Mindanso. A hard battle
