CONVENTION FORECAST.
GEORGE KNIGHT THE LOGICAL
CANDIDATE FOR CHAIRMAN.
Bx-Justics Patterson to Be His oppo-
nent-The Estoe People Confident
of HIS Nomination on the
First Ballot.

SAN Francisco, June III is report
ed here that George A. Knight will prob.
ably be- the chairman OF the Republican
state convention. It was originally in
tended that P. B. Cornwall shosld pre-
side, with Knight as vice-chairman, but
when the leaders considered the task OF
guiding the work of 84S delegates,
and the complications which might
arise from General Barnes' threat to stir
up trouble, they decided that Knights
hysique and powerful voice were neees-
eary for the chairman.
His election will be opposed, by the
opposition to the Burns and Spreckels
forces, and ex-Justice Van R. Patterson
will be the choice of those opposed to
Estes's nomination. The first test of
relative strength will be. nsae on the
selection of presiding officer. Knight
will also place Estee in nomination as
has been programmed.
Colonel Dan Burns is confident that
Estee will be nominated on the first bal
lot. He says he is able to count SOC
votes for the Napa statesman, probably
700, and possibly 100, and that he will
be supported by 80 countries at least.
Burns defends his action In naming
Estee before the opening of the conven-
ton, and says that Estee's opponents
have had week in which to fight him,
but have failed to weaken the Napn
vineyardist. Burns also stated in an
interview that the friends OF Estse will
fghtshim, and that candidates for other
nominations, opposing Estee, will be
cutting their own throats.
Three long trains, crowded with dele
gates and politicians. left for Sacramea-

GORILLA PARTIES.


women ofIzoston.
To see the gorilla seems to bequite the
proper thing. Thoroughbred horses
driven by broadcloth coated coachmen
have carried fashionable women and
children to see the gorilla since be was
given home at the Scollay Square mu-
scum.
What is more, the gorilla furore is ex-
tending to places out of town. Gorilla
parties are getting to be the rage in the
suburbs, and the gorilla is wonderful
being. OF all the specimens Of the tribe
which have been exhibited he is altogeth-
er the most interesting. This may be a
little severe on the late 1amented Mr..
Crowley, but facts are facts. To begin
with, Mr.. Crowley was a genuine, un-
mistakable chimpanzee. This gorilla is
gorilla from his toes up.
The thing which impresses one most in
looking at the gorilla for the first time is
that indefinable creepy sensation which
human monstrosity inspires.
The creatures strength is so great that
even his gentlest caress may mean dis
membered limb. He has sense of hui
NOR, for one thing, and it might occur
to him that it would be jocuiar to twist
Antonio's head off. which he could do
quite as easily as he could pull the coy
ering from banana.
The most striking indication of the
creatures strength is in his arms. They
hang nearly to his feet when he stands
erect, and with the long fingers are said
to have a reach of nearly nine feet when
he stretches to his utmost to get hold of
something. His hands on the inside are
smooth and almost white and are crossed
and recrossed with the lines which. are
studied by those skilled in palmistry in
reading the fortunes of human beings

cap Disposed of the Purse.
An old lady in the west getssS1 900 as
result of the Brooklyn Handicap. Two
months ago Fred Foster, owner Of DR..
Rice, left her in the doorway of her
home at st. Paul. AS he kissed her he
said, Mother, am going to win the
Handicap, and you shall have every cent
Of the stakes" There were two other
persons interested in saying good suck
and goodby to Foster They kissed him,
too, because they were. his two pretty
sisters, and since then they'hav every
day rained anxious kilograms upon him.
When the last came the morning Of the
race, Foster telegraphed back, "Hold on
tight, girls"
And they did till the result was known,
and they probably broke their hearts try.
ing to think up something good to tele-
graph him in congratulation. Foster
sent back the word that he had told them
so and that check for his mother would
be forwarded next day. His modest and
unassun fAg manner conveyed the i'm
preston mat the hunchback horse own
er did not glory much in his victory.
Yet he said when reporter approached
him: PRAY let me off. I'm too happy
to talk now" He had little more than
that to say to Fred Taral, but another
check for $4,000 went into the Jockeys
pocket, and that did the talking.
When the race was run, Fred Foster
ran from the crowd to his stable, where
he awaited the return of DR.. Rice. He
pattted him pleasantly and then assumed
that air of indifference that astonished
his friends when he sauntered back into
the paddock. He told no one what his
winnings were, but just before the race
he said to correspondent that he had
placed $4,000 in such bets as would, if
DR.. Rice was first, bring him $115, 1000.

last year he had taken the overworked
and broken down horse to the Manitoba
plains. There he had doctored him, and
by the spring had him in condition to
win good race at Madison.
On this becoming known, he could not
get better odds than 80 to and finally
20 to 1. The condition of DR.. Rice be-
came stil1 better known on trials, and
later most of the boollmakers, remem-
bering what DR.. Rice had taught them
last year, became afraid to offer more
than 4 to 1. Then Foster placed no
more bets, save the promise of wine
supper to party Of quiet turfmen and
newspaper men like himself. This bunch
back has made his winnings on an orig

enter suit against the Union Paeific and

Alto rney General Olney transmitted
yesterday to Assistant Attorney General
Russell, until recently connected with
the French spoliation claims. versl
documents connected with the railroad
cases, with the statement that they
were to be filed with the suits.
The Union and Kansas Pacific suits
will be fled in Washington and the
other in San Francisco. All that re-
mains now is to discover available ave.
nues for the testimony to prove the gov
ernment's point.
Attorney Russell is engaged day and
night on the cases. The method of
procedure of the government will be to
endeavor to prove that the original
stockholders of the road have been
guilty OF breach OF trust. The contracts
with the government require that GER
tain percentage OF the roads' earnings
shall be set aside for sinking fund, to
