met at 2251s West First street last even
ing for the purpose of organizing Nc

INTERESTING WHILE 1T LASTED
Lively Fist Fight in a Hardware Store Last
Evening

A little before o'clock last evening
a lively scrap took place in the rear of
Furrey's hardware store on Spring
street, between n. p Calender and T.
L. Hill, who are near neighbors resid-
ing on Newton street. a few days ago
Calender was arrested on charge of
keeping a vicious dog, the said animal
having bitten Hills little niece, named
Henderson. Calender took the dog out
and killed it, and was discharged when
the case was called in the police court,
on payment of costs. Considerable feel
ing has been aroused over the matter
and yesterdays row was but the out
growth.
The men met accidentally and a wordy
wrangle was soon in progress which cul-
minated in blows. Calender smashed
Hill in the face and planted the toe of his
boot where it would be most effective
officer MatusZkieviz was called to the
scene and found CSllender abusing Hill
and making threats that he would shoot
him, whereupon Calender was arrested
and taken to the station, where he de-
posted $40 bail to insure his appearance
in court. The little neighborly trouble
will now doubtless receive an airing and
the blame for the occurrence be placed
where it belongs.

dorsed and the vote Of the colored race
unquaiifiedly pledged to Mckinley. He
made an assault on trades unions which
was not borne out by facts. He said
that trades unions Disseminated
against the negro on account OF color
He made a long speech. dwelling on the
hard lines the negro had experienced in
getting on in the world and blamed O
good deal of it to trades unions.
LOS ANGELES DELEGATES TAKE
A STAND
The Los Angeles delegates were prac-
tically united against any declaration
antagonistic to trades unions. Delegate
Slater made telling speech in which he
claimed that in Los Angeles the trades
union people had always shown
friendly and a brotherly spirit for the
colored man. Here. he said colored
men who were skilled mechanics were
admitted to the union. Only on Monday
evening last a trades union had been
formed of colored laborers. That union
would be entitled to delegates in the
council of labor and they would be seat
ed in that body as soon as they were
elected.
Delegate Neimore of Los Angeles took
a very pronounced stand against trades
unions. There were a number of other
speakers on both sides of the PROPOSE
ton. The disorder had finally become
so great that the lady delegates appeal
ed to the chair to get order The SER
geants-a alarms. great ig,husky colored
men, were powerless to do anything to
allay the noise and confusion.
Finally though. the president did get
quiet restored and then a vote was ta-
ken and the presidents address in its
entirety was approved.
Delegate Slater and many of his con-
freres in the Los Angeles delegation, and
Delegate Collins of Alameda made no
BILE fight and appealed to the reason and
common sense of their fellow delegates
but without avail
Secretary William Prince arose to
deny the statement that had been print
ed to the effect that he was assistant
secretary of the league as he was not
holding that Office He said he did not
wish to have ii credited to him.
At a late hour an adjournment was
taken to give the committees an oppor-
tunity to work so as to prepare the re-
ports they intended TO submit to the con-
yaptiop

THE POPUL|STS GO NORTH
Delegates to the Sixth District
Convention
WHO WILL THE NOMINEE BE!
II Seems to Be a Very Mixed Vi
Affair
An Enthusiastic Bryan neeting Is Held In
the Eighth Ward-Workinsmen Line
Up for Siiver-A New Idea

The steamer Santa Rosa, which de-
parted for the north from Santa Monica
at 230 yesterday afternoon. had its full
quota of passengers. Every stateroom
had been engaged forty-e eight hours pri-
or to the departure of the steamer The
reason for this extraordinary demand
for passage on the Santa Rosa was the
fact that the delegation from Los An
geles county to the Populist conven-
tion of the Sixth congressional district.
together with large sprinkling of the
party leaders, were on the boat, bound
for Port Hartford, whence they Will pro-
ceed to San Luis Obispo, to participate
in the convention and its deliberations.
The delegates who were aboard the
steamer were: w. s. Fawcett, w. l..
Moore, W. C. Bowman r. E. Curran, NJ.
Crawford, H. C. Dillon e. NJ. Hamil-
ton. c. O. Hawley, 5. E. Wright. w. W.
Orr, Louis Luckel, A. r. Sprague, AL.
Utley. J. E. McDougal, F. r. Hawley,
f. c. Wheeler, Arthur Vinette. J. S. Bar
bee. G. A. Feidecker, E. II. Hutchison.
Los Angeles county has nineteen votes
in the convention. and they Will figure
prominently in bringing about whatever
result is reached.
Los Angeles county also has multi
plicity of congressional candidates to
offer for the votes of the delegates to
the district convention. The friends of
H c. Dillon claim that he has sufti-
cient following in the district to secure
the nomination at the first ballot. Mr.
Dillon is known throughout the entire
district. and undoubtedly has strong
following, but as to whether or not 1t
H., %1,.N Inn
ton on the first ballot remains to be
seen.
The friends of Prof. W. c. Bowman
claim that since that gentleman an
rounced the fact that he would accept
the nomination if it were given him
they have made some serious inroads on
Dillon's strength. However, there is
some question among delegates as to
the policy of again nominating Mr.. Bow
man. after his defeat of two years ago
They think it would be advisable to go
into this fight with new material.
BY some Judge A. j. Utley is being
urged, but up to the time of the depar-
ture of the delegates the judge would
not announce himself as a candidate.
Editor Bruce Of the A. 2. A. organ, the
Tocsin, is also a candidate for congress
sional honors at the hands of the Popu
lists. If Mr.. Bruce has any following
among the delegates from this county
it has to date failed to materialize.
The outcome of the San Luis Obispo
convention will be awaited with consid-
cradle interest. George S. Patton has
some strength from this county. and his
friends claim that he will have Populist
delegates from some of the northern
counties. If the convention We're to be
deadlocked, the Patton Populists seem
to think that that gentleman will come
in and possibly carry off the nomina-
ton This is, of course, only conjec-
ture.

A HARD MAN
Corbetts Estimate Of Tom sl,arkey Under

A Chicago special to the San Francisco
Examiner of the 10th says: James ].
Corbett and wife and Dali Hawkins.
the California feather weight arrived in
Chicago from San Francisco, via Grip
pie Creek, today. The champion, when
seen at the Great Northern Roof garden
tonight, appeared in excellent health
and in fine spirits.
Corbett spared at Denver and Grip
pie Creek to standing room only, and.
despite the fact that he did not knock
out Tom Sharkey. is as popular as ever.
In speaking of his contest with the eX-
marine. Corbett said:
Il did not intend to box Sharkey upon
my arrival in San Francisco, but wher
L saw him perform. and also saw how
popular he was. and what good gate [
could draw by boxing with him. though:
L would take him on. ] thought he was
easy game and did not train to any ex-
tent. it being but four-round bout.
When l got into the ring l figured on
having an easy time of it; that is.
thought it would simply be case of hit,
stop and get away. l found him, how

an extent that the referee awarded me
the contest-not once, but three times -

you?"
Hard? Yes, but not scientific. He

lot of punishment, and is, I consider, a
dangerous man-one apt to use foul
tactics. 1t will be science against brute
strength when we meet, and science, l
believe, will favor me-"
Corbett will remain il. town a few
days and will then go to Asbury Park.

Sharkey engages in a contest with some
one else.
Dali Hawkins is going to New York
TO meet some of the easternerS in his
class. and will first look for easy game.
Corbett is looking after his interest and
says, although he is. not trailing after
Tommy White, he will match Hawkins
against the latter, providing he cannot
get on with anybody else.
