mining shares reached phenomenal pro-
portions to-day, nearly 1900, 900 shares
being sold on the three exchanges here.
The cheaper stocks were the favorites, and
those having well-located properties were
in great demand. Among the higher
priced issues Anchoria Leland displayed
the greatest strength, 50 70 being paid.
Portland ana Isabella both receded sew

there are very few.

WHICH CITY WILL GET THE CONVENTION?

cheers for Senator Quay, who, they have
been told, would favor San Francisco as
his second choice. Each delegation is
'jollying" up the other and these love
feasts inspire each gang of boomers to be-
heve that his city is bound to win.
San Francisco has certainly received
many protestations of friendship, but
some of them should be taken with few
grains of salt. So many have called at
the San Francisco headquarters to-day
with kind words for the Golden Gate
metropolis that the San Francisco COM
mittee feels quite elated tonight; but
others are doubtless able to diagnose the
situation and form better representations
of the outcome than the immediate mem
bers of the committee of boomers.
The contest between st. Louis and Chi
cago is nip and tuck. st. Louis hotels
promised to entertain negro delegates,
which removed one great objection to that
city, and as Missouri has ten Republicans
in this Congress it may be determined to
assist the anti-Republicans of Missouri to
drop the State in the Republican column
by holding the convention IN st. Louis.
On the other hand Chicago is considered
the ideal convention town by great
many National committeeman and promi-
nent Republicans generally, and, if Chi
cago secures the convention, she will win
on her merits, as the Chicago people are
Indifferent and have only raised $34, 900.
Their committee here is resting its case
with sublime confidence that the conven-
ton will come to Chicago as matter of
course.
Colonel Trumbo this morning spoke
before the executive committee In favor OF
Salt Lake. He said the city would give
$4,000 and would tender the finest conven-
ton hail in the country-the great Nor
mon Tabernacle or the Saltair Beach
pavilion, which would be suitably fitted

appropriate terms.
The committee on credentials being an
nounced the convention took recess until
o'clock in order to give the committee
time to prepare report. There are only
one or two contesting delegations.
Upon the reassembling of the conyen.
ton the committee on credentials reported
in favor of seating eighty-three delegates,
and that there were six protests, for the
consideration of which the COMMITTEES
asked for further time. The report was
accepted.
President Mcbride announced the com.
mittees, after which he read his annual
report. In opening he said: Meeting
as you do in this great city of New York,
the metropolis of America, the center Of
wealth, pauperism and crime, where de-
pendence on the part OF labor almost
eliminates that spirit of independence
needed to assure good citizenship, where

oughfare called Wall street, where men
learn to prey upon their fellow-men, where
few men concoct schemes which, when
put into operation, enable them to demand

DOned O7ltH IO-DGY.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 9.-It did
not take the Republican National Com
mittee more than ten minutes to-day to
discover that the plan of facilitating the
work proposed by Messrs. Carter and Man
ley, which looked to the placing of the
different cities in nomination to-day, was
not satisfactory. All of the number with
out exception insisted that they were not
ready to present their claims, nor would
they be until tomorrow.
Nevertheless the meeting was held.
After some delay a quorum was secured.
Chairman Carter called the meeting to
order and stated that the purpose OF max
ing the nominations this afternoon was to
permit number of gentlemen to return
home who would otherwise be compelled
to ramain in Washington until after this
had been done. He was willing, however,
in view of the opposition, to postpone this
matter until tomorrow. Mr.. de Young of
California moved that when the committee
ad iourned this afternoon it be to meet at
10 CLOCK tomorrow morning, when the
nominations shall be made.
Mr.. de Young also moved that while the
number of speakers should be limited, not
more than one hour should be allowed to
each city to present its claims. Both mo-
tions were adopted.
Upon motion of Mr.. Hahn of Ohio, a
committee of five was appointed, consist
ing of himself as chairman, Messrs.

MANy VICTIMS OF A SWINDLE.
Spurious Drafts Circulated in a Peculiar
Manner in Kansas and Okla
hmm

WICHITA, KANs., Dec. 9.-Abner Bourne,
cashier of the Citizens State Bank Of Har
per, reports a swindle of considerable mag
nitude that is being worked on the country
banks throughout Central and Western
Kansas and Oklahoma Territory. Already
over dozen victims of mysterious swim
dler, known by the name of George Ell
wood, have reported losses of $1OO each
through his manipulation. The scheme is
carried on by means of drafts made pay
able to Elwood's order. They all originate
from bank at Jamaica, Iowa, and are to
all appearances genuine, but when banks
send them back to Jamaica they are pro-
tested and returned without explanation
of any sort. Elwood evidently has a con-
federate at Jamaica.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 8. - The
fifteenth annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor opened this morn
ing in Madison-square Gardens. Labor
leaders from all over the country, Canada
and Great Britain were present to lend
prestige to the Importance of the conyen-
tion as an assemblage of leading represen-
tatives of the organized working class Of
the United States. The greatest interest
has already been shown in the election Of
officers, friends and candidates earnestly
canvassing for votes. Samuel Gompers,
ex-president of the federation, is sure to
be candidate again.

amount The San Franciscans estimate
that not more than 500 delegates would
take advantage of this reduced rate the
others being able and willing to pay $50.
But if 500 delegates should ask for the
cheaper rate the expense of Transporting
them would only amount to $l2, 800, and
they believe that the local committee in
San Francisco and Californians generally
will sustain them in making this offer.
General Chapman said tonight:
1--WE believe that we will be supported in
this action by every Californian who is
anxious for the convention. We came
here to win if possible, and rather than
fail we made the inducement OF S25 rate.
'tIt will amount to less than SIC, 900 at
the outside, and we must pay this to the
railroads to make up the difference be-
tween the SIS and $50 fare. We wired the
Pullman Company to-day and tried to get
them to reduce sleeping-car fares, but they
telegraphed back that it would be i'm pos
sible.
"We have also offered to pay the travelling
and hotel expenses of the National Com
mitteemen, and have agreed to discharge
the National Committees debt, which
given assurances that with twelve to fif-
teen transcontinental wires and the du-
plex, quadruplex and 'Wheatstone' sys-
TENS of telegraphy, we can handle 5000
words of specials"
The Californians claim they will have
twenty or twenty-one votes on the first
ballot, or four or five more than San Fran
cisco's nearest competitor will have. They
are counting upon the votes of the follow
ing States and Territories: California,
Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho,
Alaska, Montana, Arizona, Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah. Kansas, Iowa, Maine,
Minnesota, North Dakota. Michigan. Ken
lucky, Connecticut and Delaware, New
Jersey and the District of Columbia.
They believe that the following are
probable: South Carolina and Florida.
Mr.. Long, the Florida committeeman, was
believed yesterday to be certain to support
San Francisco, but to-day his vote is in
doubt.
General Friedrich has no doubt that
Kansas will be for San Francisco. The
Kansas delegation called at San Fran
cisco's headquarters to-day, and their cor
diaIity and protestations of friendship en-
courage San Francisco to rely on the
Kansas vote.
''Tbey virtually promised me that San
Francisco should count on the vote of
their committeeman" said General Fried
rich tonight
The California boomers called in body
on the Pittsburgers at their headquarters
to-day and were given a warm welcome.

up. He promised. also, sufficient accom-
mediation for delegates and visitors with
no advance rates.
His speech was listened to with great at
tention, but the executive committee in
formed him that Salt Lake could not win,
and that its continued candidacy would
only serve to weaken San Francisco in the
first ballot. Thereupon it was decided not
to present Salt Lake before the committee,
and influence will be exerted in behalf of
San Francisco.
Colonel Trumbo has been the recipi-
ent of marked attention and has been
congratulated by many who do not believe
he can be defeated in Utah. He. has been

convention boomers, and tonight they be-
ieve their prospects are better than ever.
They held another meeting to day, and in
consequence of the many objections they
had heard against a $50 round-trip rate
from Chicago to San Francisco decided
that they would make the price $25. They
made this announcement tonight:
They calculate that many delegates will
be willing to pay the regular rate of $780,
bu. if there are delegates who feel they
cannot afford to pay so much, they will be
given a round-trip ticket for half that

SURPRISED BY NATIVES,
Slaughter Of Five Companies Of
Italian Troops in Abys-
Sinia.
It Is Known Seven Hundred Were
Killed and Three Hundred
Are Missing.

ROME, ITALY, Dec. 9.-The Govern
ment made the announcement IN the
Chamber of Deputies to-day that the five
companies of italian soldiers composing
the column under command of Major
Tosselli, operating in Abyssinia, had been
surprised and surrounded by force of
25.000 natives, and that only small por-
ton of the command had succeeded in
breaking through the beleaguering lines
and making their retreat to Makaale.
The fate of Major Tosseili and that part
of his command remaining with him Is as
yet unknown. General Barateri command
ing the Italian forces in Abyssinia is con-
centrating his troops at Makaale, which
place is well fortified and amply supplied
with provisions and is prepared to repel
the forces of the enemy which are moving
in that direction.
General Mocenni, Minister Of War, has
received information that General Ari-
mondi, after being joined by the survivors
Of Major Tosselli's command, was obliged
to retreat, the enemy having begun flank
movement that threatened to cut of his
communication with Makaale. The Abys-
sinians are advancing on Adigrat.
The Cabinet to-day discussed the defeat
of Italian troops and decided to send REIN
forcements. ammunition and artillery to
them by fast transport, which will prob
ably start tomorrow.
The public is much excited over the
news of the defeat. It is supposed that
Ras Makonnen's recent overtures for
peace were ruse, of which Major Tosselli
was the victim. It was announced this
evening that General Arimondi. who went
to succor Major Tosseili, engaged the
Abyssinians and stopped their advance.
The enemy's loss was severe. General
Arimondi has safely reached the vicinity
OF Adigrat.
LONDON, ENa., Dec. "a dispatch
from Rome to the Central News Agency
says that the force that went to the relief
of Major Tosselli repulsed successive
bodies of Abyssinians, but could not reach
Major Tosselli. The latter's troops had
exhausted their ammunition. As soon as
the enemy learned this they charged upon
the Italians, nearly all of whom were mas
sacred.
It is known that fourteen italian officers
and 700 men were killed, while 300 are
missing. General Barateri is fastening
to engage the enemy.
The Daily News has q dispatch from
Rome which virtually confirms the report
that fourteen Italian officers and 700 men
were killed by the Abyssinians. The dis
patch added that the reinforcsments that
