OF course should like to see the Republican
convention brought here, and have no doubt
everybody will join in regardless of politics to
help to accomplish ii. You cannot quote me
too strongly, in favor of the movement.
There is nothing that would do as much good
to this State 1t would direct to it the attention
of the very people in whose hands is the most
power to help Us out in the matter of legisla-
ton. II would tend TO give to the West a
greater prominence in the eyes OF the East
large proportion of the people who would
come out here now have an entirely erroneous
idea of this part of the country. Most OF them
are men who can largely influence legislation,
and they would go back with very different
ideas to our needs. Take the Chinese ques-
ton, for instance, which is so terribly misun-
derstood in the East. Very often l send promi-
nent visitors up through Chinatown with
deputy, and in every case they have told me
how wrong their ideas had been.

their business. The guard said that he
was sorry, but that "orders are that no

go TO the station, but the only consolation
he received was, ''orders are orders, and If

ness in five minutes he would conduct
them off the reservation. The captain of
the station sent his compliments to the
general, with request for permission to
use the camera to take pictures for the
Government, but the messenger returned
with message to the effect that the gen.
eral was taking a nap, and that no one
would dare to awaken him, and that as
orders were orders the camera was for the

The greatest fraud which the day devel-
oped was in the Twelfth Precinct of the
Twenty-ninth District. There Glynn went
back AZ votes-from 139 to 81. At the same
time Allen went up 23-from SO to 61-
making a net gain for Allen in that pre-
cinct alone of 10 votes. A little further
on, in the Fifteenth of the Twenty-ninth,
Glynn took another step backward, this
time losing II, and again in the same pre-
cinct Allen went up, in this case 10 votes.
Outside of these precincts Allen gained
steadily, sometimes in ones and twos and
in one case by four. Glynn just as steadily
fell back, almost every precinct leaving

HAVE BOTH COME.
THE CHAIRMEN OF BOTH STATE
COMMITTEES SHOULD ACT.

A. P. Hallidie, president of the Califor-
MIA Wire Works, said:
There can be no question that we should all
strive TO getthe convention here. 1t is very
important that the leading representatives OF
the great political parties should see the neces-
slty OF paying more attention TO this coast,
particularly if we should get into trouble with
any foreign nation 1t is the duty of those
who legislate for us to know something about
this coast. If the convention comes here and
the delegates should have their letters ad-
dressed to our old Postoffce, we should have
no more trouble on that score
The main objection TO coming out here is. of
course, the distance; but what is a few DAYS on
our magnificent trains to people of the class
that would come out? day or two can make
very little difference to them
think it would be well for both the State
central committees to take hold OF the matter
The bringing of one convention out here would
be very apt 10 induce the other to come.

LIEVE WE CAN GET THE

NO QUESTION ABOUT FUNDS
ALL ARE WILLING TO JOIN IN THE
EFFORT TO BRING IT
HERE.

There is but one mind in this city about
getting the Republican National Conven-
ton out here. All the prominent citizens,
regardless of party, believe that every effort
should be made to carry ont the CALLS
suggestion. Leading citizens interviewed
yesterday expressed the belief that it can
be done if the matter is properly presented
to the National Committee. They all
agree that it is due to the West that the
leading men who would be in the conven-
ton should know more about our part of
the country, and that there could be no
better opportunity for educating them.

the Exposition of Mexico, the result of which
was that the Consul-General of China will call
a meeting OF the Six Companies in order to
elect special committee to represent the inter
ests OF Chinese merchants at the coming ex-
position. 1t is promised that the Chinese will
make an elaborate display, which, it is ex-

BURIED THE HATOHET.
Fire Underwriters Suspend the Boycott
Rule.

Fire UnderWrIters SuspeIIu tILo A'Uy OObG
Rule.
The Board of Fire Underwriters OF the
Pacific held a meeting yesterday and de-
cided to suspend the non-intercourse rule
which had been in operation against the
few managers who stubbornly refused to
join the new compact.
This law prohibited members of the
compact from having any business rela-
tions whatever with non-union men, and
went so far as to compel agents to resign
agencies of the non-union companies.
Manager Duval of the Continental took
the matter up, regarding it as a boycott
and breach of law. He threatened to
serve an injunction on the compact pro-
hibiting it from boycotting his company.
Then it was that the compact saw the nom
intercourse rule in new light.

Wrongly Assessed.

The Northern Railway Company is suing to
have the collector of the Irrigation District of
Glenn and Colusa counties prevented from
having its right OF way through those counties
sold for its taxes. The railroad was assessed
for $51 900 in Glenn and $129, 900 in Colusa,
and the tax rate levied was 81 % on the $780,
The claim is made that the right of way was
not properly assessed, as land and improve
ments were assessed together, and not sepa-
rately as the railroad claims should have been
done.
