10 Fill the Vacancy Caused by tho
Resignation of C. F. Crocker.
The Joint Fusion Committee Ap.
pointed by the Democrats, Popu-
lists and Silver Party to Nominate
Upon Ticket, Providing M0nteith
Can be Induced to Withdraw.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Colonel
Crocker's place on the Republican elec-
toral ticket, which he recently resigned
because of question as to his eligibil-
ity, was filled to-day by the Executive
Committee of the State Central Com
mittee.
This action was taken at a meeting OF
the Executive Committee at headquar-
ters in the Palace Hotel this forenoon
at IL o'clock. Chairman Mclaughlin
presided, NJ. r. Higgins, Secretary.
The business was quickly dispatched.
John d. Spreckels had suggested that
the vacancy be filled by the appointment
of a wOrkingman as electOr-at-large.
The idea was taken up by other mem
bers of the committee as being a most
desirable move. The other places on the
ticket had been pretty fairly distributed
among the various callings. and 1t was
thought advisable to let the working
classes be represented on the ticket. Ac-
cordingly, when the resignation or COL
onel Crocler had been accepted, Mr..
Spreckels moved that D. E. Mckinlay
of Santa Rosa be appointed delegate at
large to fill the vacancy. The motion
was unanimously carried.
D. E. McKinlay is a house-painter of
Santa Rosa. He is a young man who
has gained something of a reputation as
an orator, and has been a close student
of economic subjects. 1t is believed that
his selection will add strength to the
cause

II HUNG CHANG.
The Chinese Viceroy Visits the
United States Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-AbOut 9:3O
to-day Ii Hung Chang, with his per-
sonal suite, was escorted to the Treas
ury Department.
The Viceroy's visit to the treasury,
which occupied an hour and a half,
appeared to specially interest the whole
party.
After a cordial welcome by Secretary
Carlisle, the Viceroy expressed a desire
to inspect the money vaults, and in
company with the Secretary, Treasurer
Morgan and Mr. Foster, ex-Secretary
Of State, the lower departments were
visited
The massive steel doors of the gold,
silver and bond vaults were thrown
open and their contents explained
The Viceroy's curiosity and interest
were aroused and his questions and
their answers covered wide range.
From the vaults the party ascended to
the upper floors and visited the issue
and redemption divisions, where the
Secretary explained the processes by
which the money for the nation passed
from the bureau of engraving and
printing and mints into circulation.
The Viceroy seemed delighted, and on
leaving the building thanked the Off
cials for their courtesy.
Secretary Carlisle accompanied the
party to the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing which was next visited.
The sightseeing was cut short by
rain and Ii Hung Chang was escorted
by Secretary Carlisle back to the Treas
ury Department, whence the retinue
proceeded to the Arlington.
The Viceroy has been more deeply
impressed with the life and character
of Washington than he had hitherto
been credited with, and to-day he
caused extracts Of the first Presidents S
farewell address to be translated to
him. A handsome wreath which had
been ordered for the Viceroy to take to
Mount Vernon and place on Washing
toms tomb was sent to the Chinese Le-
CATION, with instructions for the Min
lister to perform the act Of homage, as
the Emperor's representative.
About half-past 5 o'clock carriages
were taken for the depot by the entire
party, General Ruger, as usual escort
ing Ii Hung Chang, and accompanied
by four troops Of the Sixth Cavalry.
At o'clock the journey to Niagara
Falls began. Niagara Falls will be
reached at 11:2O O'Clock tomorrow
morning, where the band and such COM
ranies as can be spared from Fort Por-
ter will act as escort. The American
Park will be visited, and Monday morn
ing the river will be crossed, and soon
after the party will be on Its way for
Vancouver and home.

the American people was given to the

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 5.-Great
anxiety still prevails here. but there
have been no further disturbances
The ambassadors have sent a collec-
tive note to the Turkish Government
dwelling upon the organized character
Of the masSacres. They quote the
declaration Of two Mussulmans who as
sert that they were reQuisitioned by the
police, who provided them with
weapons and sent them to kill Armeni-
ans.
The ambassadors demand a.strict in
quiry into the causes of the outbreak
and the steps taken to suppress it, and
insist upon the severe punishment of
the culprits.
A complete panic was caused here
yesterday by the falling of an Arme-
nian from window to the street below.
The people who saw the man fall be-
lieved that he had been thrown out of
the window, and rumOr spread like
wildfire that rioting had been renewed.
The shops in Constantinople and Ga
lata were closed at once and kept
closed until the scare was over and the
people had become quiet.
1t is reported that the Armenian Rev.
olutionary Association is making ar
rangements for a great revolutionary
showing. They have ordered the dis
tribution Of certificates to identify the
holders as Armenian Catholics.
CULPRITS TO BE PUNISHED.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The Turk
ish Legation has received from the
Sublime Porte the following telegram
under yesterdays date:
The. imperial Government has de-
cided to proceed with no delay to the
trial Of the Armenian revolutionists
implicated in the recent disorders at
CGnstantinople, as well as of the indi-
viduals who, without motive, had al
lowed themselves to kill and plunder
peaceful citizens. The severest pun
ishment will be inflicted upon them. The
agents of the police who were present
and did not prevent the crimes they
saw Will also be tried and punished in
an exemplary way. AS. however. the
trial Of these people would be lengthy If
they were to be submitted to an ordi-
nary court, an extraordinary court has
been instituted solely for these cases.
which will be tried publicly and with
no appeal. The most part Of the mis-
deeds committed during the recent dis
orders having been perpetrated by indi-
viduals of different classes who came
from abroad with seditious and criminal
intent, the police received the order to
expel them from the Turkish territory"

CHINESE CUSTOMS CHARGES.
Statement From Ii
Hung Chang's Adviser.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Lf Hung
Chang's customs adviser Mr.. Drew,
to-day gave to the United-Associated
Presses an authoritative statement re-
garding the Chinese customs changes
about which Ii Hung Chang has had
discussion with the chief fiscal author
tiles of all the countries he, has visited
The readiness always displayed by the
United States in recognizing tariff au-
tonomy to all nations and, the eompar-
atively small trade, the United States
enjoys with China, rendered this portion
of his mission to the United States
easier than it should be in England, for
instance. the English possessing nearly
all or 50 per cent. Of the empires trade.
Instead. therefore, Of trying to learn
what concessions from the present
treaty stipulations the United States
would be willing to waive, the Viceroy's
interview with Secretary Carlisle was
rather to secure advice on the great
question Of fnanciering which Is forced
upon the Pekin Government by the
japanese war indemnity and projects of
internal developments.
All the old treaties which opened
China to commerce and still remaining
In force include q favored nation clause
and prescribed a uniform import tariff
of . per cent. ad yalorem on a specific
list of articles. OF some length. Many
Of these articles have been cheapened.
but the rates remaining unchanged, the
source OF revenue has diminished until
1t is no longer adequate to the empires
needs. 1t is therefore proposed to in
crease the duty, which can only be done
by new treaties, and England alone OBJ
jects. unless substantial concessions are
made. The French are also insistent
upon reduction of the silk export tax.
and Will probably have to be appeased
in some way.
The liking or internal tax on goods
entering interior provinces after pay
ing the imperial port tax is also the
subject Of much dissatisfaction on the
part Of foreign countries. because of its
Determinations In making this tax uni
form important reductions are contem-
plated, which will be gratifying to Eng
land as well as to all the treaty Powers
who enjoy favored nation treatment.
Everything depends upon the result of
the English negotiations, which will
soon be pressed in London, and which
may require the placing OF certain large
contracts in England to Offset present
advantages enjoyed by Englishmen.
