Temporary Chairman.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 27.-Thsre has
been no tagging on the part of the dele
gates to the National Prohibition Conven-

calling the convention to order had come,
the delegates had all assem- bled I'm Music
Hall at the Exposition building.
1t was long after 10 o'clock when Sam
uel Dickey. chairman of the National
Central Committee stepped upon the
platform and called the convention to
order. The call OF the convention was then
read, after which III. l.. Castle of this
city made an address, welcoming the del
egates TO the city.
When the applause following the ad-
dress had died away, Chairman Dickie
made brief reply, in which he thanked
Mr. Castle and the citizens of Pittsburg
for the cordial treatment the representa-
tives Of the Prohibition party has re-
ceived.
When he had finished response to adj
dress he said he had the honor to intro
duce to them the gentleman chosen as
temporary chairman by the national COM
mittee, Mr.. A. A. Stevens of Pennsyl-
vania. When he had said this. Chauncey
q. Dunn OF California arose and said he
had minority report to offer. lie pre-
sented The name Of j. r.. Wheeler and
moved it be substituted for that of mr.

Dickie, but refused. An uproar followed,
with cries of "sit down." Mr.. Stevens
took the chair, but Mr.. Dunn refused TO
sit down, and appealed from the decision
Of the chair. lie was again told to sit
down and there was another storm of dis
approval. -
"I'm asking Mr.. DlcKie to rule upon
the appeal" yelled Mr.. Dunn," we
won't submit TO this gag rule"
There were cries from all parts OF the
house for Mr.. Dicike 10 come toward and
make a ruling on the appeal. He came
out at length amid Kisses and howls, and
said that there could be no appeal taken
in an unorganiZed bojy.
Finally, for harmony's sake, Mr..
Wheeler withdrew mis- name. after the
police had been called to eject unruly
delegates.
Mr.. Wheeler was loudly cheered and
there were denunciatory cries against
what board guargsrs termed outrageous
gag rule.
1t was the first clash between the silver
and gold standard delegates on the con-
vention floor and the single issue crowd

Mr.. Stevens the temporary chairman,
finally succeeded in restoring order, and
then proceeded TO acdress the convention.

4 New Enterprise.

Gen. Carl Wiesshuhn is having built at the old shipyard on the Colorado river near the foot of Main street two scows l2X30 feet. When completed a steam shovel will be placed on board and other machinery to extract the gold from the Colorado river sands.
 The General has leased the little steamer Aztec from Capts. Mellon and Polhamus with the privilege of purchasing it if on trial it proves satisfactory.
 MT. Louis Miller, a frst-class machinist arrived here from Los Angeles Wednesday and is now busy overhauling the machinery on the Aztec. It will be used to tow the scows from place to place on the river and the engine will be used to run the shovel and other machinery requisite to separate the gold from the sands.
 The placer ground along the Colorado river in the vicinity of Picacho will be worked.
 The Generals enterprise is some. thing entirely new and will be watched with interests by miners.
