est, dishonorable and indecent to every
man with any sense of shame or morality
that they were not even given considera-
tion, but were Indignantly rejected.
The story that these political tricksters,
devoid of purity as of power, had been re-
ceived into the councils of the regular or
ganization was one invented by these
shameless would-be traffickers in the
spoils OF Office, and then conveyed to Sam
Rainey, the leader of the faction of what
is now known as the reorganized Democ-
racy, but better known as the Junta.
This ally of the Mahoney Kellyites, in
accordance with the scheme of the .atter,
poured forth the story to the editor Of the
organ of the Junta, and, still following
out prepared programme, that paper
gave the fake to the public.

RUSSIA ACTIVE W THE ORIENT.
Placing Northeastern china in condi-
ton for Defense against
Other Powers.

LONDON, Eng, Sept. pa. special
dispatch to the Globe from its correspond
ent in Shanghai states that the Russians
are displaying great activity in the north
eastern part of China, and are placing the
country in conditions for defense.
Russian engineers have been busily at
work at Port Arthur for weeks. That i'm
portant place was left in bad condition
when the Japanese abandoned it at the
close OF the war with China.
The Russians are now placing every
thing in good order. The docks and war
ships will soon be in better condition than
ever before, and vast supplies of coal are
being collected there for the use of the
Russian warsnips. The pace was very
important naval station when under
Chinese control. With the help of Russia
it can be made practically impregnable.
The Russian warships in the Pacific are
more numerous than the, British, though
hardly as formidable. There is an ominous
activity about them, too. Everything in
dicates that orders have been issued to
have matters in good shape should a
European war break out.
1t has always been said that the princi-
pal object of Ii Hung Chang's recent trip
around the world was to meet the Russian
authorities ana bring about an under
standing between that country and China
From the activity prevailing now in and
around Port Arthur it is believed that a
satisfactory arrangement has been reached
and that there will be some sensational
developments within g short time.

THE FATHER A FIEND.
GhasHy and Almost Successful Attempt OF
Joseph Bash to XIII His Whole Fam
Hy With crowbar.

CLEVELAND, ONO, Sept. % "A most
inhuman attempt upon the lives of a
whole family was made early this morn
ing by Joseph Bash.
The man rose early to prepare the morn
ing fires. For some unknown reason he
conceived the CHASTITY idea OF killing his
whole family and securing a crowbar re-
paired to the room where his wife and two
daughters were sleeping. With one blow
ne crushed the skull of his wife and then
turned to the cradle of his youngest child.
The 19-year-old daughter in another bed
awoke and sprang to arrest the fend s
arm, but the blow fell across the infant s
face.
A desperate fight between father and
daughter took place. The girls screams
broug ght assistance and the man fed. He
has not been arrested yet. The woman is
at the point of death, but the infant may
live.

For Mayor-Charles L. Taylor.
For Auditor-WilIiam A. Deane.
For Tax ColIector-Cord Wetjen.

These were the nominations made at the
regular Republican Convention OF the City
and County of San Francisco last night at
the Auditorium.
One of the most significant features of
the proceedings was the entire absence of
anything that looked like concession to
the disgruntled, dishonorable, dishonest
and rule-or-ruin leaders of the Mahoney-
Kelly Rainey suffers and corruptionists.
To those who have the true and best in
terests of the Republican party of this
City and County at heart and who have a
knowledge of what is actually transpiring
among the leaders this was no surprise,
but many were led to believe that an un-
holy alliance, for such it would have beens
had been made with the men who pose as
Republicans for the only purpose of Sc
curing a dishonest revenue from the
patronage that might fall into their hands
for distribution.

ONE BIG FRIGHT OF THE DAY
Guns Fired and an Attempt Made to
Destroy the Water Works and
Burn the City.

LEADVILLE, CoLo., Sept. 23.-The
presence of the militia has had no appar-
ent effect in quieting the nerves of the
people of this unfortunate city. The
feeling is so tense that the people clutch
eagerly at the most absurd rumors, and
the fear is general that dire disaster is
certain soon to come.
There were plenty of sensations to-day.
Interest centered in the hoped-for mar
tlal law order which has not yet come
from Governor Mcintyre. General
Brooks received at an early hour to-day
an order from the Governor which ap-
pears to be of an advisory nature. Gen.
eral Brooks was in conversation with the
Governor over the telephone during the
day, and late tonight Brooks issued a
proclamation outlining his military policy
while in camp.
Judge Overs of the District Court also
talked with the Governor, but was appar-
emily not satisfied with his interview, and
he declined TO talk.
ALI day the business men and mine
owners have been frantically demanding
martial law, that the strikers be disarmed,
their ammunition and dynamite confis-
J Gated and all possible means of resistance
taken from them.
A warrant was issued in the Justice
Court of P. NJ. Wall for the arrest of P b.
Turnbull, vice-president of the Miners
Union, E. J. Dewar, financial secretary of
the Miners Union, Eugene Cannon, one
of the leading strike agitators and a
member of the Engineers Union, and
Conner Richards, principal character in
the union strike committee. The men
are charged with being principals in the
riot which resulted in the killing of Fire
man Jerry O'Keefe at the Coronado mine
last Monday morning.
They were all placed under arrest be-
fore / o'clock to-day. A large number
of arrests are likely to be made tonight,
and probably some effort to search for
arms will also be attempted.
One of the frights of the day was the
rather vague story of an attempt to de-
stroy the city water works. The Miners
Union has long boasted that in the event
of armed Intervention it would destroy the
water system and burn the town.
The water works are located about two
miles from town. in California Gulch.
Troops were posted there yesterday, and
last night detail of thirty men in charge
of an officer were stationed inside of the
works. Pickets we're thrown out, and the
dark. rainy night passed as comfortably as
could be expected. just before dawn
there was the fash OF shot and faint
report on distant hill, such as might
have been signal. A little later one of
the sentries made out some dark forms
crawling up the hill. He hailed them and
was answered by shot.
There was silence for time. and then
several scattering shots were fired from
the gulIies, but the attacking party, find
ing the guard wide awake, drew off with
out any injury so far as could pe1earned
on either side.

Intyre, took the matter less seriously. II

All the delegates to the convention were
in their seats, and on settling down to
business they presented the spectacle of a
respectable, intelligent body of men, ap-
parently imbued with sincere motives, for
they were in the fullest sense of the word
representative Republicans.
clear understanding of their duties to
the people of San Francisco and to their
party made itself evident in the delibera-
tions of this second session. All through
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed in
unison with harmony, and all these char
acteristics com bined to make it an ideal
political meeting.
The nominees for Mayor, Auditor and
Tax Collector were greeted, each in turn,
with very hattering ovations and this not
alone from the delegates but from the gall
leries and unreserved portions of the hall.
There could be no mistaking the seal Of

FURIOUS STORM IN COLORADO.
Great Damage Along the Denver and Rio
Grande Road-Efeven Wnshouts
Within Six Miles.

GRAND JUNCTION, CoLo., Sept 23.-
The worst storm for ten years has been
raging since yesterday. East of here on
the Denver and Rio Grande road there are
eleven washouts within six miles.
The Rio Grande Western running west
from here is in a worse condition. A long
bridge at Salt Wash has gone out, as have
also several smaller ones. The Denver

here is badly damaged.
Trains on all roads are water bound at
various points along the road. The main
irrigating canal, which supplies the farm
ers of the valley with water, has been
almost ruined, and it will require thou

could really sink as low as to wantonly

plan to betray the party to which they
feigned allegiance.
For the information of such it can be
stated that a visit to the stable owned by
Sam Rainey on Bush street, inss above
Kearny. on almost any day will find the
Democratic boss in consultation with Ma
honey and Kelly, scheming how best the
latter may be able to aid the local Democ-
racy by bringing disruption into the ranks
of the Republican party.
When the story published in the Ex-
aminer yesterday morning alleging that
Mahoney and Kelly had been received
into fellowship with the membership of
the regular organization was called to the
attention of J. d. Spreckels he was more
amused than indignant. He said:

wise dropped off. Merchants in the bust

by big reductions on the price of their
wares. and even the grocers begin to cut
prices on specialties.
Warm weather has also effected trade in
the city market. Sausages and liver pud-
