CONVENTION WAS BOISTEROUS

Into Small Hall and Quarrel Tor
Seats Candidates Are Selected
Amid Great Confusion.
By the United Press.

by tHe pillteu iIcSS.
Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-The Demo-
cratic city convention today was turbu-
lent in the extreme. 1t was called to
order in Warmers hall at 1912 a. m. by
Temporary Chairman David w. Sellers
with one-thrd of the 900 odd delegates
standing. The seating capacity of the
hall was altogether inadequate, and q
movement was started to adjourn to
some better adapted place, but it was
suuelched. 1T required an hour for the
noisy delegates to elect a permanent
chairman in the person of William Il.
Belstel'ling, who is identified with the
regular Democracy, Michael J. Ryan
being the unsuccessful aspirant The
hour fixed for the convention, which
was the first held since the regular
wing of the Philadelphia Democracy
and the minority faction styled the
Pennsylvania Democracy have appar-
entity become unified, was 10 Il. m. At
that time the hall was filled to over
flowing with an intensely boisterous
crowd, and when Temporary Chairman
Sellers tried to call the delegates to
order with a stout stick that took the
place of a gavel his efforts could not
he heard ten foot away. Every man
in the hall was upon his feet declaring
his right to this or that seat, OF disput-
ing the political merits OF some well
known leader. 1t looked for a time as
though the unconventional throng
would get into row, so heated were
the unnecessary epithets that were
being passed.
Al.
After Mr.. Sellers had whacked mis-
| impromptu gaVel down for the one
| hundredth times something like order
was obtained in the front rows. The
chairman named the other temporary
offices, and then City Chairman Will
here, on behalf of the "Regulars" nomi-
mated William f. Belsterling for per-
manent chairman. Dallas Sanders, as
sponsor for the minority delegates, was
! upon his feet i'm an instant with a mo-
! ton that Michael j. Ryan be chosen
for this honor.

State, after succeeding in getting sus-
pension of the issuance of patents to rail-
road companies for unclassifed mineral
lands. But the President has appointed
as such Commissioners three men who are
not residents OF Montana and who know
nothing OF mineral lands. This is enough
to utterly disgust the men who have been
making a fight to prevent the railroads
from "gobbilng' the mineral lands. The
Government would really get the benefit,
since 1t would get the money for the min
eral lands instead of the railroad com.
panles; but if men without knowledge of
minerals or mineral lands are to classify
such lands then the main object of the
new law is defeated.
The California Miners Association tried
hard to get the Montana law applied to
California IN the matter of mineral lands
and railroads. but did not succeed. They
are tghtlng on another tack now and per-
maps 1t IS just as well, since if com mission
ers for California were appointed from
Kansas or Massachusetts to determine
which lands were mineral and which agri-
cultural, the mining area would be very
small. The Montana people have now se-
lected three residents of their State to CO.
operate with the commission, but it is not
known if their assistance will be permitted.
The Governor of Montana, speaking for
the miners of the State. says: ''Men des-
tltute OF practical knowledge bearing upon
the matter of mineral lands, whose ideas
have been formed in a school of experience
wholly different from the conditions which
will surround them as member of a COM
mission to classify these lands, cannot, in
the nature of things, deal as intelligently
with the question as the interests of the
people require. 1t is the misfortune of
those States directly interested in the
preservation of their mineral lands that
their classification should be delegated to
men confessedly ignorant of the nature
and scope of the duties they will be called
upon to perform

NEW PROSPECTS DEVELOPED.
The Weekly Review of Mining Affairs
in California and the AdJoin-
ing Commemorative.

Both the Mayfower and the Morning
Star drift mines in Placer County are
steady dividend-payers.
The group of mining claims at the Red
banks on the MERGED River, near the Ben
ton Mills, have been sold to San Francisco
parties. The property belonged to the
Cathay Bros. and they realized $4,000
from the sale.
The new camp at Gold Ridge, near Mo-
dock, Inyo County, promises to develop into
something quite valuable.
Gasoline engines are now being utilized
on many places for running small quartz
mills, pumps, etc.
Southern California will soon have 100
stamp mill. The Golden Cross mine al
ready has forty stamps and sixty will be
added.
Butte County mines are generally very
prosperous these days.
A company, composed of Sacramento and
Tuolumne men, has been incorporated
with capital stock of $500, COO to work 200
acres of rich gravel deposit eleven miles

prisoners. 1t appears that Ministers Da-
mon and King are in favor of liberating all
the prisoners but the ringleaders, and are
opposed by Minister Hatch and Attorney
General Smith. 1t is said that President
Dole favors the release of the men. As an
outcome of the affair it is said that Damon
and King will resign, but the statement is
denied by the Government.
The Queen has become tired of prison
confinement and Will soon make an effort
to gain her freedom. Her friends have
been busy for some days working in her
behalf, and writ of habeas corpus will be
sworn out within day or two. Paul
Neumann, her attorney, is preparing his
argument.
1t has been a complete surprise to the
government that no attempt has been
made to test the validity of the military
court that recently dealt with the rebels.
1t was generally understood that a test
case would be made as soon as it adj
lourned, but Tor some reason no action
was taken.
In all cases that Paul Neumann ap-
peared, including the Queens, he filed
written objections to the jurisdiction of the
court, claiming that as the functions of
the civil courts had not been suspended by
the martial-law proclamation, they should
deal with prisoners. His objections were
constantly OVeTruleQ.
The letter demanding the recall of Min
lister Thurston is here and was read to an
executive session of the Councils yesterday
afternoon.
This letter had been to Hongkong. 1t
went past Honolulu in a bag with a couple
OF hundred others. The fault lies with the
Postofiice at San Francisco. The original
came from China on the 30th ult. by the
Gaelic, and copy came by the Coptic from
San Francisco on the same day. The
United States State Department made
plain It's suspicion of the Postoffice here
by sending Minister Willis mail per Cop
tic in separate bag
The ground OF objection to Mr.. Thurston
is confined to a single transaction and is
briefly stated. The sole offense alleged is
that Mr.. Thurston, at the legation, showed
to reporters private letters to himself from
Honolulu.
The particular letter that gave such
otfense to the Secretary of State intimated
IN pretty strong terms that President
cleveland and Mr.. Gresham were largely
responsible for the January uprising here.
Mr.. Gresham spoke to the Hawaiian Min
lister about the matter. Mr.. Thurston
SAID that be regretted it very much; that
In a hurry OF handling big mail he had
SHOWN this letter with others without any
special intent. In short, he apologized.
Secretary Gresham thereupon asked
that the apology be submitted in writing
Mr.. Thurston declined to do this.
Gresham's letter is dated February 81
last, and in strong language states that
Ihurston is no longer personally accept
able to the administration at Washing
ton as Hawaiian Minister.

harbor before. The very gulls take on a
different aspect. Y GU think you never be-
fore noticed how beautiful, how pictur-
esque the birds are.
And when at last CALIFORNIA; shore fades
wholly from your cabin window, when the
Golden Gate has been passed and even the
Farallones are left behind, you have before
you, when you shall have settled certain
little matter with King Neptune, whole
week-six rounded beautiful pearls of
days wash as many still, dim nights before
you-in which to rest as you never rested
before.
1t is like foretaste of Nirvana. Your
ship rides on and on over a sea so blue that
you wonder why the gulls in your wake
are not stained a deep indigo as they dip
into it. Some prosaic quasi-scientist will
probably tell you that the color of the
ocean is merely the reflection of the sky
above, but you need not believe him. That
is one of the joys of being out of the reach
of mails and telegraph, of books and
authorities. You may believe anything
you please, and if you have a>mind to be-
heve that housewifely Mother Nature has
dropped her bluing-bag into the Pacific
Ocean no one may prove to you the con-
trary. And the big blue waves swim along
side the ship and rock and caress it, and
the long, white curling line in her wake
seems like a spOtfess pathway, which you
are traverSing from nowhere to elsewhere.
The gulls, a different kind from those
about the bay, joined you at the Farallones.
They will accompany you for two and
half days and then they will wheel and
travel back over the white pathway to
their resting places.
But you will not miss them, for by this
time you will have established acQuaint-

ance with some of the delightful people
who are always travelling the route. You
Will have discovered what q capital story
teller the purSer is, what a charming COM
panion the first officer, and what an orna-
ment to society the surgeon would be If he
could be persuaded to leave his beloved
Pacific. The captain will have charmed
you in some stray moment of his precious
leisure. In word you will be at home on
board and willing to sail on over the blue
ocean for year and day.
There is a popularity about one or two
ships of the Oceanic line that is not shared
by Atlantic liners. If you fail in getting
an outside stateroom you need not worry.
The ships are so planned that the inside
staterooms have ventilation from the up
per deck, so that even in weather when
the bullseye of an outside room must be
closed an inside room on the Mariposa,
for instance, will have fresh, delicious
current OF sea air passing through it.
The steamers sailing out of San Fran
cisco are not the floating monsters that
ply the Atlantic, but they are perfectly
appointed voyaging homes. The passen-
gers on Atlantic ships might well envy
those on an Oceanic steamer at meal
time. Fancy seven days at sea and never
rail on the table to hold recalcitrant
plates and cups in place. You sit quietly
enjoying your luxurious meal where
table, and no one throws a cup of coffee at
you in an unexpected lurch of the ship.
This is the usual experience. Sometimes
the Pacific does get up storm for you,
with waves mountain high for the gallant
ship to mount; but stormy voyages are
the exception, rather than the rule, and
the ships are stanch and well built.
When the ship is midway between
San Francisco and Honolulu firedrill will

He was big, overgrown boy of a fellow,

not to be alarmed; there was no fire

Sydney, Apia and Honolulu. The trip

sized scale has been started up by the Tolo
Mining Company, about nine miles north
of Medford, on Rogue River, Oregon. That
part of the country paid very handsomely
in early days on plain mining, and there
are now numbers of hydraulic plants and
quartZmil!s. The company that is trying
this new method has eighty acres of placer
ground so rich that several thousand dol
lars had been taken out in years gone by
with the ground-sluicing process, the
drainage from the hill for few weeks in
winter being the only water supply. A
few months ago the company purchased
the tract and invested about $25 900 in a
new scheme. The ground being worked
now is 1900 feet from the river and the eIe-
walton sixty-ive feet A 150-horsepower
engine is located along the line of pipe, 760
feet from the river, and steam is conveyed
to a large Gardner pump located on the
river bank. With this arrangement about
1000 gallons of water a minute is forced
through heavy pipe to giant located at
the mine.
At the time of the Medford Monitors
visit they were using pressure of about
$50 pounds, through the giant or equal to
nearly 300-feet head of water. This re-
quired only Sc pounds of steam at the
boiler and only two or three pounds pres
sure is lost in Transmission to the pump
Running night and day about six cords of
wood is required for fuel. The pipe used
is seven and eight inches, varying in
strength along the course, the heaviest
iron pipe being used near the river, and at
the mine light steel pipe, permitting an
easy change of the location of the giant.
commencing at the lower portion of the
mine is large sluicebox with a number
of feeders above. Arrangements are being
made to extend the large sluiceway to the
river along the pipe line. and the tailings
will be dumped in the river ABOUT 10 feet
from where the water is taken out. The
mine employs eight men and has been in
operation less than thirty days.

ship. A flying fish or two are visible from
the stern. Only these and nothing more.
Suddenly out of the distance looms up
Diamond Head, the landmark par ex-
cellence for all Hawaii. 1t is bold, jut-
ting headland thrusting far out into the
sea, and has played prominent part as
the scene of many an historic conflict on
Oahu. Now the whole landscape changes.
The abrupt, rocky shore becomes waver-
ing line of white beach caressed by soft
singing breakers and defined by green
background of waving palms. We recog.
nize at once the tropical scenes depicted in
our school Biographies. Some one points
out the various points along the shore
Waikiki, Kapiolani Park, the ship rail-
way, Pearl Harbor in the distance and at
last Honolulu.
Groups of naked, brown Hawaiian boys
swim out around the ship. They are veri-
table fish. Throw coin into the water.
They all dive. In an instant one appears
holding the dime triumphantly aloft. A
coin, however small, so thrown never
touches bottom. The boys dive with eyes
wide open and catch it ere it sinks far.
The Hawaiian women are as great swim
mers as the men. 1t is liberal education
in athletics to see them in the water. Men
and women alike still keep up the old,
perilous surf bathing, and two or three
men on long, frail planks, riding with a
rush of binding swiftness on the crest OF
an incoming wave, is a sight never to be
forgotten.
Landing at Honolulu most tourists go to
the ROYAL Hawaiian hotel. There are
other hostelries-the city is well provided
with such-but the Hawaiian is far and
away the leading house. 1t is a sort Of
rendezvous for the whole city. There are
