Republican Delegates Opposed to In
strHctions for Mckinley.
LOS ANGELES. CAL, May 3.-The dele
gates to the Sacramento Convention elected
in this county yesterday, together with a
contingent of newspaper representatives
and influential Republicans left for the
capital city this afternoon. The delegation
is practically solid Tor Hervey Lindley as
one of the district delegates to the St.
Louis convention, and will line up with
about equal unanimity for Ex-Governor
Sheldon as one of the four delegates-at-
large to the National Convention. Sheldon,
however, will meet with very formidable
opposition from the friends of U. S. Grant
of San Diego in the Seventh (Bowers') }
Congressional District. The county con-
ventions of the Seventh district nave
nearly all been instructed to support
Grant. while in this district, and especially
in this county, nothing has been said
openly as to either position. 1t is well
known that despite the antagonisms of
four years ago between Sheldon and Lind
ley, they are now on the best of terms, so
the delegation from this county may be
expected to stand together on all proposi-
uons affecting the interests of either
asDlrants.
The contest for either of these gentle
hunt plan, with a secrecy and finesse
seldom Witnessed In political affairs. The
delegates are absolutely non-eommittal on
the question of preferences for Natiopal
delegates, and yet it is confdentially
asserted that the most perfect understand
ing exists.
AT the late assembly district conventions,
while considerable air was agitated in be-
half of Congressman McLachlan's renomi.
nation, an ominous silence prevailed III all
the assembly conventions save one
Compton-on the question of the double
harbor fight. Not one word of censure
was uttered in condemnation of the lately
exposed fraudulent methods of Hunting
toms local henchmen in behalf of the
Southern Pacific's breakwater at Santa
Monica,
Ventura County offers vigorous protest
against the plan to renominate McLachlan
by acclamation.
While there has been great amount of
Eoise and some presumably genuine en-
thusiasm over the candidacy of Mckinley
OF Ohio, the prediction is here made that
the majority of the delegates from Los
Angeles County are opposed to instruc-
t1ons and pledged delegation to ST.
Louis. They are not in favor of tying the
hands of their representatives at st. Louis
A strong sentiment exists here among the
best element of the party opposed to
pledges of any sort.

A DAZZLING EXPOSITION.
Electric Wonders to Be Dis.
played at New York's
Great Show.
Power From Niagara Falls-Interest
ing Features in Connection
With the Opening.

NEW YORK, N. Y. May 3.-Several
hundred men have been at work night and
day for the last week in making prepara-
tions for the opening ceremony of the
National Exposition of Electrical Appli-
ances to be held in the Industrial Arts
building beginning tomorrow evening.
The National Exposition is held under the
auspices of the same organization which
made the display at the Worlds Fair,
and it is incident to the nineteenth an
nual convention of the Electric Light AS
sociation. The delegates present will rep
resent nearly 10000 electric lighting plants
in the United States with an aggregate in
vestment of $3.50, ,000,0
The opening ceremony will take place at
8 o'clock tomorrow evening and will be
attended by Governor Morton and his
staff and delegation OF State officers
from Albany as well as Governors of neigh
boring States, representatives of the Army
and Navy Departments at Washington,
Thomas A. Edison, Professor A A. An
thony, DR.. Park Benjamin of Newark, P.
B. Delaney, Herbert L. Webb, Alexander
Graham Bell and other distinguished elec-
trical maguates.
Governor Morton will be received by
the reception committee at the building
at o'clock and escorted to the platform,
where he will deliver short address.
He will thereupon turn a current of
electricity generated from the falls of Nj
agara over the commercial wire of the
Western Union Company and put in oper-
alton the machinery in the exposition
building. This will be the longest trans
mission ever performed by electricity for
power purposes. The only line approach
ing it in length was one established in
Germany, being 110 miles. On this occa-
sion the Governor will use the same
golden key with which President Cleve-
land started the wheels of the great
Worlds Fair.
Another incident in connection with the
opening will be the discharge of four pieces
OF ordnance by Governor Morton over the
telegraph lines of the Postal Telegraph
and Cable Company. Arrangements have
been perfected whereby, with the consent
of the War Department at Washington. a
company of artillery at San Francisco.
New Orleans, Augusta, Me-, and st. Paul
Will place gun in the public parks which
Will be connected by suitable mechanism
with the lines referred to.
AS the Governor declares the opposition
duly opened, he will press button, which
will discharge these pieces of artillery.
A feature of interest in connection with
the exposition will be the sending of a
message of congratulation to her Majesty
queen Victoria on her birthday, May "a,
the current to be used being generated by
the waters of Niagara River, which are i'll

WEAEER AT PORTLAND.
The Popsltist Leader Predicts Yictory TO
His Party.

His Party.
PORTLAND, Or, May 3, - General
James B. Weaver of Iowa, Populist candi-
date for the Presidency four years ago, is
here. He said to-day:
1.-THE prospect is that the gold men will
control both the Democratic and RepubIi-
can National Conventions. The recent
capture of the Michigan Democratic State
convention by the gold wing of the Demo-
cratic party, and the Euclid Martin gold
convention in Nebraska practically settle
the question as to who will control the
Chicago convention. The Administration
will have it solid and fast. 1t goes wi tn
out saying that the Republican convention
at st. Louis will pronounce in favor of the
gold standard.
From present indications Mckinley
will be the Republican Presidential nomi-
nee. This will open the way to the union
OF all the silver and currency reform forces
at st. Louis The two conventions, Popu-
list ani Silver, meet in that city
on July %, and 1t is certain that they will
unite on common platform and ticket
Over 400 delegates have already been Sc
lecteu for the Pop1list National Conven-
tion and fully 80 per cent of these favor a
union.
1--WE are to have 1860 over again. The
Democratic party is dying, Just as did the
Wing party, and from the same disease.
1t has adop ted the policy of the Republi-
can party respecting the great question of
finance, and that is fatal to the organiza.
tion.
"There are new issues involved since the
close of the war, caused by the growth of
civilization, which are pressing for solu-
tion, and which will be solved. Just as was
the slavery question. by the union Of all
men and organizations who feel and be-
ic mi
to do, and union of forces is the watch.
word of the hour. Nothing can stay its
progress. The great question of the day is
that of finance, and until it is solved all
others must be held in allegiance.
81 have never witnessed anything like
the present uprising. The commotion is
greater than in 1860 for the reason that
there are more people involved and that it
extends into every village and hamlet in
the land"
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-04

first; then would do justice to those who have
suffered from the wrongs of 1878.
Twas amazed when told few weeks since
by the president and secretary of the Agricul-
that they ne longer insured farm improve
ments, when until year since their business
was wholly confined TO that class of risks; that
incendiarismiwas far more frequent when mort
gage foreclosures were so common as they are I;
that there was no money in that class of bust
ness, but loss was certain.
There seems to be q great dread comes to
many in contemplation OF the restoration OF
silver lest We lose all our gold. Suppose we do
(which do not apprehend), does accumulated
gold alone make nation or an individual
strong financially? 1t is the bonds OF solvent a.
tons that give to England her right to rank first
among the nations of the earth, and the mer-
chandise and bills receivable and ships held
by her merchants, her shipping and her com.
mercial corporate bodies that gives them a
right to the supreme rank they enjoy.
Let the United States establish reciprocal
trade with Mexico, Central America and the
South American States upon lines marked out
by Garfield's administration and protective
tariff against all nations manufacturing goods
that we produce. Then with whom would the
silver nations trade, we being on the silver
basis of 16 to /? Commerce is the objective
point of oil wise governments. Our City can
only realize the dreams and hopes of its
founders by fostering legislation that will en-
courage and bring to our gate the trade of
those whose geographical position naturally
centers here.
The next great need of our country is the
opening up of our inland waterways, the con-
struction OF our Nicaragua canal. owned and
operated by the Government as Suez is by the
English. Oh, for an Earl of Beaconsfield in
our country as wise and far seeing, to impress
upon our Congress this great necessity to us.
1t would prove the crowning blessing of the
nineteenth century for the American Republic
That party will succeed which has for its
shibboleth protection, the construction of the
Nicaragua canal and free coinage of gold and
silver as in the past, because it will bring the
greatest good to the greatest number of citizens
of this Republic. MARK SHELDON.

A Strong Point Is Raised in
Favor of John Hays =
Hammond.
PAST LOYALTY TO THE BoERs.
Health of the Imprisoned Men Is Good.
Their Quarters Having Been
Improved.

LONDON, Exc, May 3.-The Mail. a
newspaper here, has dispatch from Pre-.
toria stating that the Transvaal Gov.
ernment has asked each of the
minor members of the Reform Com
mittee who was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment and Punishment, to state his
reason for requesting a reduction of his
sentence. The four leaders who were SEN
fenced to death were not asked for reasons
why their sentences should be commuted.
George Bicker, an American geologist,
has cabled to Secretary of State Olney,
pointing out that when, in December, the
proposal was made to raise a foreign
flag in Johannesburg, John Hays
Hammond, one of the leaders of
the committee who was sentenced to
death, demanded and obtained from the
members of the reform committee an oath
of allegiance to the Transvaal.
A dispatch to the Mail from Cape Town
says that J. S. Curtis, a member OF the
committee, is very ill near Cape Town and
that he will probably return to Pretoria
and be tried separately when he RECEIVERS.
The dispatches regarding Mr.. Curtis,
who is an American mining engineer, are
confusing. 1t was at first stated that he
was not present when the other prisoners
were sentenced, he having been admitted
to bail on account OF sickness.
1t was added that his trial would take
place at the next session of the court.
Later 1t was stated that he and. other
Americans had been sentenced to pay a
fine of $4,000; to undergo two years, i'm
prisonment and then to be banished from
the Transvaal for three years.
The dispatch to the Mail, if considered
with other dispatches, leaves it doubtful
whether he was tried or not.
The Times will tomorrow publish a dis
patch from Pretoria, saying that the exc
cutive is seriously considering how to
avoid the inconvenience to the mining in
dustries entailed by the imprisonment
of mining engineers and others belonging
to the Reform committee. The dispatch
adds that the prisoners are in good health.
The Times correspondent at Palapye
telegraphs that the keenest indignation
was caused among the whites and natives
in the protectorate by the death 9. ntences
passed upon the leaders of the committee.
The native chiefs on the Transvaaf bor-
der would welcome chance of attacking
the Beers. The committing of the SEN
tences has rot allayed the resentment.
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, May 3.-An
improvement has been made in the ar
rangements at the Jail where the members
of the reform committee are imprisoned,
and they are now more comfortable and
have little reason to complain of close
quarters.

THE GREAT BATTLE
As IT STANDS,
GContinued from First Pd0e.]

cause contests have been filed. Wherever
our delegates appear to have only con-
testant claim, based on fiimsy foundation,
have excluded them; but it would be the
height of folly and impertinence on my
part to say that convention-to illustrate,
Florlda-that had three out of four of the
elected delegates was not to be counted
among the Mckinley votes.
"Then again, the contesting delegations
in Mississippi, without undertaking to de-
eide which is regular and which is not,
have declared with substantial unity, each
of them and both of them, that they are
all or practically all of them for Mckinley.
$50 it will appear in the end, when we
reach ST. Louis, that my table OF votes to-
day, which l here present. will be more
than verified by the ultimate result when
the roll of the convention is called-if it
ever is called-upon the nomination for
President of the United States.
Last week I omitted Connecticut be-
cause [ did not see fit to raise any ques-
tions that would irritate anybody, but
have received letters and kilograms from
Connecticut this week that make it i'm per-
ative to place six, and, in my judgment,
ought 10 place eight of the Connecticut
votes for Mckinley.
"There are in the States enumerated by
me east of the Allegheny Mountains not
less than twenty votes which l am not
claiming which will be cast for Mckinley
on the first ballot. 1t must be borne in
mind by the critics of my figures that the
New York Tribune, Philadelphia Press
and Chicago Times Herald bunch in a
great doubtful column from fifty to sew
enty votes.
1.-THE New York Tribune states that of
the 1913 votes which they say are either
non-committed or not elected Mckinley
will get at least one-half. Upon that very
conservative basis Mckinley has a sweep
ing majority OF the delegates within reach.
But let US see-during the remainder of
the month there will be elected in:
