The Thurston Rifles drilled yesterday in

Schiling saved seven minutes.

CONVENTION MAY COME,
Colonel Isaac Trumbo Brings
Cheering News From
the East.
The Republican Committee May
Decide in Favor of San
Francisco.

Colonel Isaac Trumbo of Utah arrived in
the City yesterday. He expresses the be-
lief that San Francisco can secure the
Republican convention, but says that
active and harmonious work will be re-
quired to gain the prize During a recent
trip to the Eastern States he visited several
of the large cities and talked with many of
the party leaders, including several mem
bers of the National Committee. He
sounded the sentiment of the leading men
on the convention question, hence he is
convinced that winning for this City can
be made if proper exertion is put forward.
People in all the States west of the Missis-
sippi River appreciate the fact that the
delegates from the States further East will
traverse their sections of the country on
the journey to the Pacific Coast. In this
travel delegates will gain some idea of the
magnitude and wealth of the great region
between the Mississippi Valley and the
Pacific Ocean. Colonel Tru limbo says that
the Western sentiment tavors San Fran
cisco.
Colonel Stone, chairman Of the sub-com-
mittea appointed last Thursday night by
the National executive committee of the
Union League Club, heard yesterday of
Colonel Trumbos arrival and will call his
committee together this week to confer with
the latter. The fact is taken into consider
alton that Colonel Trumbo has had many
personal interviews with Mr.. Manley of
Maine, General Clarkson of Iowa and other
memb ers of the National committee. 1t is
thought that he will be able to present
some points for the guidance of the sub
committee which were not conveyed in
the correspondence between z. B. Corn
wall and the committeeman.
Colonel Stone has faith in the ability OF
San Francisco to succeed and proposes to
make an earnest canvass to secure the sup
port of citizens.
The next meeting of the joint committee
of the Union League Club and the Repub-
lican State executive committee will take
place September 10.

Suffer on the southeast corner of Seventh
and L streets. AS the building fronted the
former it was called the Seventh-street
Methodist Church and the society by the
same name. Soon comfortable parson-
age was built for Mr.. Owen. In the fall of
1850 he was succeeded in the pastorate by
the Rev. NJ. C. Briggs, who had the build
ing enlarged to accommodate the rapidly
increasing congregation.
In 1852 a neat brick structure, 52x80 feet,
costing about $4,000, was erected. Di-
rectIy after dedication, November 2, 1852,
it was destroyed by the great fire. The So
ciety, however, pluckily hurried up cheap
structure, which they occupied until they
could build frame church. which they
did on the site of the Baltimore House. In
January. 1859, it was sold to the Jewish
congregation for about $500, and then the
society worshiped In a hall over the post
Office until they, within a few months,
erected their present church on Sixth
street, between K and L. The name has since
been the Sixth-street Methodist Episcopal
Church. This building is 52x100 feet in
