Disappointed.

The performance of Rob Roy" by the
Scottish societies as proposed at the New
California last evening did not come off.
The default was due, as we are informed,
to misunderstanding among the pro-
jectors of the scheme. While Manager
FriedlandeT was prepared to carry out his
obligations TO those who approached him
on the subject, there was not the requisite
consolidation Of purpose on the part of
the different societies 10 enable him tn do
30. The committee had received his terms
aud agreed to them, but when the critical
time came were unable 10 comply. The
box-offiee was open for three days, but the
publications. for tickets were meager, and
the money paid in was refunded. 1t is TO
be regretted that the public were not per-
mitted to enjoy the performance as adver-
tsed, because the Scotchmen in this CON-
munty are jolly set of fellows, and Rob
Roy" in its native strength and by his fell
lOw-countrymen would have been an occa-
sion long to be remembered.

POPULIST PARTY.
County Convention TO Be Held Next
Month.


An adjourned meeting OF the County
Committee of the PEOPLES party was held
in Mozart Halt last night. and final ar
rangementS for the coming county conven-
ton concluded. A. B. Kline presided. and
some thirty of the members were present.
George d. Gillespie read the report of the
executive committee regarding the call for
the county convention. 1t was as follows:
I'VE deem il necessary, as matter of
eXpedlency, that more suitab head
quarters should be obtained for the County
Central Committee of the Peoples party,
and to that end a committee of three, con-
sisting of c. B. johnson. A. B. Kline aud
A. w. Thompson, were chosen to look for
and select suitable place. with power to
act.
1.-THE basis of representation in the mu-
nicipal and county convention of the PeO-
pies party, to be held in this city during
the month of July, 1894, should be COM
posed OF all the members of the County
Central COMMITTEES in good standing at
Z :45 O'Clock P. NJ. July IA, together with
those delegates from each industrial legion
and three delegates from each Assembly
district club. All clubs organized and not
reported to the executive on or before the
9th day of July, 1894, will not be entitled
to representation as Assembly district
clubs in said municipal and county con-
ventioD OF the Peoples party with any
official privileges whatsoever as delegates
representing OF as individuals belonging to
said club or climbs. We further recon-
mend that the said municipal and county
convention shall be called to meet at Mo
Fart Hall, 1853 Market street, San Fran
cisco, Saturday at z. NJ, July Ii, 1894"
This report was adopted and the meet
ing resolved itself into a committee of the
whole, to consider the amended constitu-
ton and bylaws. The constitution was
read IN sections and finally adopted as a
whole. In the new constitution the old
name of County Central COMMITTEES is
changed to County Committee. The other
changes are chiefly technical, and under it
the methods of club and district Organiza-
tion differ little from those already estab
llshed. The committee has been con-
stantIy changing its constitution around,
but this is intended TO be permanent The
consideration of it occupied the greater
part of the evening.
In the call for the convention it is pro-
vided that said convention shall be
pledged to the Omaha platform and the
State platform adopted at Sacramento

HAsBRoUCK HEIGHTS. y. J.
The residents Of Hasbrouck Heights, n. j., voted
yesterday TO settle question which has been dis
turbng them for months. 1t was as to whether or
not the place should be Incorporated under the
Borough act or remain az 1t Is, a part or Lodl
Township. The odd timers" those who nave
lived in the place since they were boys, did not
want the Incorporation The newcomers. New
York business who have erected country
houses here, wanted to take advantage OF the act.
For weeks the war has been waged.
Yesterday was the day when the matter was to
be settled by appeal to the ballot-box The vote
was the fullest ever known in the place. One hum
dred and thrty-seven men east their ballots. The
count showed that the commuters had won. The
proposition to incorporate the place was favored
by seventy-seven men. while only sixty were OPP
posed. The election, despite all the talk which pre-
coded It. very quiet. Only one vote was chal-
lcnged The "haysceders'' threaten to contest the
election on the ground that the commuters had
different kind Of ballot. The ballots were all Of
the same size, as required by law, but there was
than lot and through a mistake they
were not printed Gin the same weight Of paper.
