SACRAMENTO, June 20.-At the very
outset of the meeting OF the convention tc-
day the undercurrent of dissatisfaction in
the county delegations showed itself on
the surface. and fight was precpitated

mittee on permanent organization by
amending the gag section of the report out

Chairman Knight called the meeting to
order at 10 o'clock. The committee on
credentials made its report. which was
adopted. and then John T. Dare of San
Francisco. chairman of the committee on
permanent organization, read the report
of his committee. 1t was as follows:

that it's most marked quality of light
ness obviously fits it.
The marine engineer and the naval
architect, who are already looking in
this direction for a reduction of the
weight which is inseparable from loss
of efficacy, whether in speed or cargo,
cannot neglect the possibilities of a
metal, which, when mixed in the pro-
portion of one to fifty, gives to alum
inum-bronze a hardness and tough
ness which makes it almost as reliable
as steel, and which, if the proportions
could be reversed and the strength pre-
served, would reduce the weight of
ships and machinery alike by two
thirds. That is problem which
awaits the metallurgist for solution.
The reduction in cost, judging by an
alogy, can only be question of time
and research.
The best steel now costs little more
than one-half penny per pound, while
aluminium is fifty times that price.
But aluminium exists in far greater
quantities than iron, is more widely
distributed, and neither the limits of
time nor the history of metallurgy for
bid us to conjecture that, as the world
has seen it's age of stone, it's age of
bronze and its age of iron, so it may
before long have embarked on a new
and even more prosperous age of alum

THE OYSTERS ENEMY.
Great Destruction in the Delaware Bay
Beds by the "Borer."

Great Destruction in the Delaware Bay
Beds by the "Borer.'
The "borer," pest about the size of
a small strawberry, is working great
havoc among the oyster beds in Della
ware bay and tributary streams, says
the Philadelphia Ledger.
Capt. Moses Veale, of the oyster
schooner White Lily, says that the de-
structive powers of the ''borer" have
beer known to oystermen only few
years. He had followed oyster digging
for nearly thirty-fve years, and the
first ''borer' he saw was about ten
years ago, but their ravages in the oys-
ter beds were comparatively unnoticed
until last year.
Capt. Veale said that last year the
number dead oysters with holes made
by bore IS in the shell became so great
that FISHERMEN were alarmed. This
year the work of the borers has become
grave matter, and if it continues
r.any bays will be depopulated of oys-
ters. From one bed we dredged on this
trip we got twelve hundred baskets of
oysters, but out of these only two hun
dred were good, the dead oysters hav-
ing been killed by borers. A peculiar
thing about the ravages of the 'borers'
is their apparent selection of the best
oyster beds. We have found this to be
true several times this season. We
have found bed Of small oysters al
most entirely free from 'borers.' This
bed will be separated from another
bed of larger oysters by two hundred
feet, but this latter bed will be so badly
affected by the creatures that it will
hardly pay to work it.
''From what | can learn from oyster
men the destruction wrought by borers
is much more severe in Delaware bay
than in other places.
1.-THE work of the borer this year
makes double misfortune, for the
oyster beds were badly damaged by the
big storm in August and September.
Very few people who are not in the
oyster dredging business know any
thing of the methods of the borer.
When 1 first took notice of its work l
secured several oysters just after the
DOrer ndu fastened 1uSel1 10 Une smell.
When the borer fastens itself it holds
on like leech, and it is with difficulty
that it can be removed with the
fingers.
Sometimes the borer fastens itself
to the oyster shell near the edge and
then the oyster is not killed. When
the hole.of the borer is made near the
center of the shell the oyster is at
tackled in its vital parts and dies in
three or four days after the hole is first
made"
Some of the bed-owners near Maurice
river have lost large sums of money
this year on account of the borer. All
oystermen. say there can be no way of
taking away the borer without de-
stroying the oyster beds.

ALL ARE AGREED.

The action of the Republican Ma
tional Executive committee yesterday
declaring in favor of the admission Of
the territories is evidence that what
was feared to be serious complication
does not exist, Republican opposition
in the senate. From very large me-
jority OF the Democrats, friends of the
admission bill have nothing TO fear.
1t was apprehended though. that for
party reasons Republicans would nat
urally object to almost certain Demo-
cratic reinforcements. This apprehen-
sion, however, was the result OF a mar
row view of the human nature Of patri-
otto Republicans and of forgetfulness
of the history of the Republican party,
which has always warmly welcomed
deserving territories into the Union of
states.
In fact every important addition to the
area of states within the past forty years
has been made under Republican
rule. That the northwestern ter
ritories were Republican or sup
posed to be Republican can
not be charged as their sole claim to
admission for the most partisan west
ern Democrat will not deny their rights
to statehood. 1t fact the similarity of
conditions prevailing in the territories
now on the threshold OF statehood, to
those which have recently entered is
made the chief basis of our claim to
admission.
As members of parties there is now
no doubt that Democrats and Republi.
cans are agreed as to the proper course
toward the territories. There may be
opposition put it is entirely sectional,
narrow-minded and weak.

FUTURE OF ALUMINIUM.
Roofs for Houses and Hulls for Vessels
Sure to Be Made of 1t.

Sure to Be Made of 1t.
Aluminium, which itself possesses a
high degree of specific heat, does not
really absorb heat itself, and thus is
not liable to the chief objection to iron
buildings in hot countries. But apart
from light decorative purposes, says
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, such as
balconies, cupolas, finals and veran-
das, it is as a roofing material that
aluminium should be most welcome to
the builder. In plates or scales, two
thirds lighter than copper, uncorroded
by air and undimmed even by the sui
phur of London smoke, it should make
a roof fit for palace of romance.
The humber elements of health and
comfort in the house hardly less i'm
portant than it's external defenses
against the weather-pipes, cisterns,
taps and cutters, now made of iron
which rusts, or lead which poisons-
would be more enduring and far more
healthy if made of this light and clean
ly metal, which might also take the
place of all water-holding vessels now
made of heavy, brittle earthenware or
painted tin. An aluminium bath is
among the probable luxuries of the
next century. But it is not as a mere
accessory to comfort and convenience
that real development of the new
metal should lie. 1t is for use at sea

ton OF New Mexico is justly one of the

1t is hardly necessary to inform the
readers OF Phoenix that what appears at
first glance to be mere intelligence con-
corning the high personal character
and popularity OF the governor of New
Mexico is a silent and intended to be
very odious comparison. By stress of
circumstances our contemporary, which
is of lovable disposition is driven out
OF the territory in search of an object
on which to lavish Its affections.

Contrary to general custom, he was at

had come from Port Huron, Mich,

first to announce that he will under no
conditions be a candidate before the
