THE CONVENTION IN SIGHT

The m ovement to secure the next ma
tional Republican convention for San
francisco has assumed substantial ana
business like appearance that is full with
the promise of success. 1t has become a
mosemsnt all along the line from Siski-
you to San Diego, and represents deter
mination ON the part of a well nigh unan-
imous people to have the convention il
4 oney and work will get it.
The decision arrived at in Scn Fran
cisco to send strong com mittec. repre-
sentative of the different sections of the
state, to Washington to present the
claims of San Francisco to the national
Republican committee,is the first step in
the actual business of formally getting
before the body that will select the con-
vention place. We may be assured that
this committee will urge the wishes of
California in the most forceful manner,
but they should not be left to do the tasK
alone.
There are multitudinous methods by
which the gentlemen who 60 to Washing
ton may be greatly assisted. One of these
is TO be found in the exercise of personal
influence by individuals Of the west with
members Of the national committee.
There is probably not member of the
latter but who can be reached to some de-
gree by residents OF the Pacific coast.
Everybody VINO is reasonably we'll &C
quainted with a mem Der of the national
com mittee should address him in behalf
of the San Francisco project. Even the
members who have declared themselves
for San francisco should be addressed,
not alone fer their own sase, put to en-
able them to sustain the favorable atti-
tnde thew have taken by exhibiting evil
dences of the urgent popular feel ing out
this way. Every editor, po litician and
business man who can di rectly or indi-
rectly bring influence to bear on a com.
mitteeman should work correspondence
for all that it is worth.
1t is evident from the dispatches lately
received that San Francisco's chances have
decidedly frightened; that the indiffer-
ence of Chicago and New York. and the
opposition to Pittsburg on the part of
powerful elements in the Republican
party, because CT the intense friendliness
entertained by that city and vicinity for
certain candidate, have wonderfully
strengthened the feeling in favor of San
Francisco. The question of the place of
meeting seems to have reached the point
of banging IN the balance. A strong pull
and a pull Altogether will give 1t to US.
Keep your shoulder to the wheel.

An essential difference betw cen the
Democratic and Republican parties is not
ed in the way that the former turns down
the bosses and tho men In 1t who trade
off its principles, while the latter party
exalts the same element within its ranks.
Brice, Corn an, Hill and Blackburn are not
coddled to the Dem ocratic heart, while
Quay, Plat, Elkins and the balance of
the gang are Rugged to the Republican
bosom. One is the party of principle, the
other the party of expediency.

A BROKEN HOME
Or the Discontinue of Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Tucker.
A Thief Steals All Their Furniture
and Sells it to a Teamer.
An Auctioneer Disposes Of 1t All Over
Town, and 1t Belonged to Flint.

"East Side, West Side, all about the
town." Is just about where the household
goods Of Arthur Tucker are now located.
About four weeks ago Arthur went TO
Brooklyn to assist the managers OF the
trolley line out of their difficulty, and
Mrs. Tucker went to Scituate TO live
with relatives and wait until Aurther
could get sufficie mt amount OF money to
send for her.
The goods in their house, 36 Hospital
street, were made tidy and six months
rent paid in advance, the doors and win
dows made fast and tight, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Tucker went away, leaving them
with the idea that il would be cheaper to
pay rent than to move the goods and pay
storage.
A day or two ago Arthur came on for
his wife and goods, both happy and with
prospects bright. They went to their
former home, but, alas, there was no
furniture. Arthur went out and looked
over the door to see IL he
had made a mistake In the num-
Der of the house, and then looked out OF
the windows to make sure he was right.
He found he was. Then Mrs. Tucker be-
gan to weep, and Arthur began to investi-
gate, and the family up stairs told him
that Thursday, Feb. IL, young man said
that he had been requested to pack up
the goods and send them to Brooklyn,
and he at once proceeded TO load the prop
erty into a furniture van driven by Nj.
M. Blunt. The man that was acting as
.'agent" for Mr.. Tucker told Mr.. Blunt
an awful story, and said that he
wanted to sell the goods and would sell
them cheap. SHOW cheap?" said Blunt.
swell, I'll take SS for the whole lot"
'Pll give you s6," said Blunt. "All right"
said the agent, and the bargain was
clinched by BIunt's paying over the
cash. Mr.. Blunt then drove to
the auction room Of Mr.. Sheldon and
disposed of his newly acquired property
and since then Mr.. sheldon has disposed
of the goods in lots TO suit customers.
Tucker notified Detective Swan who soon
learnedthat Blunt was the man who moved
the goods and Blunt told that the fellow
that sold him the goods was none other
than the we'll known thief, Joseph Hat
field. Joe was arrested Saturday even
ing by Detectives Swan and Merrill at
the corner of Dyer and Eddy streets
and in the Sixth District Court this
morning he was held in the sum Of 800
for trial Tuesday, March g. The goods
stolen were really the property of the
Flint Company, as they had been sold to
Tucker on the instalment plan.

it is said. was notified BY the Hawaiian
government to leave the islands.
Mr. Walker denies this, stating he left
Honolulu on business trip. He went
to HAWAII Ave years ago from Victoria.
II was suspected by the Hawaiian
government that the Norma was engaged
in opium smuggling and recently it was
believed by the Dole administration to
have unloaded arms for the revolution
lists at one of the islands. When the re-
cent attempt to overthrowthe Government
failed, Walker arranged TO sail for Victoria
by the Warrimoo. He was detained by
the marshal, however, and his passport
taken up. His case was investigated and
meanwhile a steamer sailed. Walkers
story is that, although the Norma was
nominally his, she was really owned
by Hawaiian and leased

the opium smuggling charge, professed
great loyalty toward the government of
Hawaii, and said he was going to London
to raise funds for cable between Van
couver and Honolulu. The government
believed it had strong case against Wal
ker, but the evidence was not conclusive.
