to the Valley railroad people. Governor
Bndd moved that the ojectonable amend
ments which had annoyed the Valley
road directors be stricken out. The
board agreed to his proposition but still
the Valley road projectors were dissatis
fed. Governor Budd stated that the Val
ley road directors were familiar with the
terms of the lease long before it was SUBJ
mitted to the harbor commissioners. He
denied that he had ever been inimical to
the competing read. Mayor Sutro would
not consent to any further curtailing of
the lease. but 1t is probable that all OBJ
jectionable provisos will be eliminated
after further conference with Messrs.

SAN FRANCISCO. May S.-The fourth
annual bench :show of the Pacific Ken
mel club opened to lay with 35l entries.
1t is pronounced to be the best show ever
given by the club, breeders being represent
ed from all over the Pacific coast. st.
Bernards are numerous. The chief dog
i'll this class is Plinmonarch OF Victoria,
B. c.. whelped August 1891, sire Casper,
dam Lady Scott, and valued at $500. He
is the biggest dog in the show. To the
fact that st. Bernard clubs have. during
the past year. sprung up all over the
country is ascribed the fact that one
sixth of the entries in the entire show are
st. Bernards. Prince Othmar is another
conspicuous entry, valued at 500. There
are some fine dogs among the hounds, in
cluding Tasso, last years prize winner
in the puppy class. Howard Vernon's
pointer Glenbigh, whelped 1890, sire Grouse
". dam Rita, is an attractive entry. ii d.
is valued at $40, 900. Vernon's bitch Sallie
Brass, winner of twelve first prizes since
she was whelped in 1885, is also shown
with several of Glenbighs puppies.

THE A. P. A. IN COUNCIL
Opening of the Session in the Big Hall

Important Step to Be Taken Will Be- the
Adoption of an International
Constitution
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.,. May s.-The
seventh annual session of the supreme
council of the American Protective AS
ISOLATION began today in Liberty hall.
The delegates number III the vicinity of
400, and the greatest interest seems to
prevail. From what can be learned of
the problems which are vexing the dele
gates, it is probable that the session will
be very important one. The order is
now semi.poitical, and it has exerted it's
influence in conventions and at b ballet
box. Some of its mem bers favor coalition
with any of the existing political parties
which will come out openly and advocate
the principles of the A. P. A. Another
faction would have a separate political
party on strictly A. Z. A. platform.
Still another wing of the asso ciatIon fa-
vors publicity and would do away with
ali ct works. 1t is also limited that
the free silver question may cut figure
during the session. From this it will be
seen that unless the leaders are exceed
ngly judicious there will be many
breaches to repair. The opinion seems to
pryail that the separate party propositio n
will not succeed. but nothing definite can
be learned at this time as to the OF her
mooted questions.
Probably the most important step to be
taken by the association will be the
adoption of an international constitution
and declaration of principles and the ex-
tension of the order to all parts of the
world, creating thereby what will be
known as the supreme council of the
world. This question has been under
consideration for some time, and the re-
port of a special committee of ten, ap-
pointed year ago, will be submitted
Five members of the 4 committee are
Canadian members. and five are members
from the United States. The chairman
is Colonel II. Il. Sellers of Detroit, who
will report the draft pf a new constitu-
tion. which will be the present constitu-
ton Of the A. p A.. so modified that it
will have international scope. The
Canadian delegates are here as delegates
to the committee meeting only, but if the
report is adopted they will be admitted
to full fellowship. A member of the COM
mittee from Canada says that there are
now more than 100. 900 A. p. AS. in
Canada, and that they have practically
controlled elections in the dominion for
two years.
The opening session was CALLED to order
with some $50 OF the expected 400 or 450
delegates present. the others being ex
pected to arrive later.
The emblem Of the order, gold eagle
mounted with small American flag and
'the little red school house" suspended.
is becoming numerous on the streets.
The membership in Wisconsin is placed
at $1,000.
Rev. J. G. Medil of the Canadian
branch of the order spoke for an hour,
outlining the school war in the dominion.
The annual address of President Tray
nor will not be delivered until the fina
report of the committee on credentials is
heard.

Galveston Copyrighted 1895, by the
Associated Press There is no longer
any doubt that Great Britain will receive
her smart money on time. The Els, 900
to be paid by Nicaragua to Great Britain
has been raised here here by donations
Three German merchants have given
about $4,000, and the whole amount will
be ready in London in few days.
The raising of the money, however. mas
only increased the feeling in Nicaragua
against Great Britain. and the feeling is
now very bitter, indeed more SO, if posi-
BILE than when the British troops linded
as Corinto.
The general opinion seems to be that
the Central American republics will form
combination, possibly secret. against
Great Britain. and that everything pos.
sible will be done to exclude British
goods from Central America. This feel
ing will probably result in commercial
gain to the United States.

SAN JOSE, May s.-Experts in the en-,
ploy of the grand jury who have been in
vestigating the books of s. W. Boring,
whose term as county clerk expired on
January 1st, have completed their labors.
They find the county lost through irregu-
larities during the two years of his IN
cumbency, about $6500. OF this amount
$176S was in uncollected fees in the pro-
bate department presided over by Luther
Jones. The greater part of the residue
was lost through an enterprise OF John
Narcoe, a brother-in-law of Jones, who,
it is said, paid out $4,000 to lftigants when
they were owing the office. There were
numerous errors and slight losses in all
departments.
