California and Nevada silver men-that
is, delegates to the National Convention of
the BimetalIic Union to meet at st. Louis
on the 22d inst.-are out for Bryan ard
Sewall, the nominees of the Democratic
National Convention.
Definite action on this point was taken
at meeting of the California delegates at
the Office of George w. Baker last night.
Eleven delegates were present, who repre-
sented thlrty-eight out of the forty-fve
delegates TO which California is entitled.
The total number of delegates entitled to
seats in the st. Louis convention is 1886.
Charles d. Lane of Angels Camp was
elected chairman of the delegation, and
A. d. Ricketts, was chosen as secretary.
1t was moved as the sense of the meet
ing that the delegation indorse and vote
for the Democratic nominees, Bryan and
Sewall, at the Silver Convention. This
was carried without dissenting vote, and
it was stated by Chairman Baker of the
State silver organization that the forty
five votes of California would be cast as a
unit for Bryan in the coming convention.
Frank Moffitt was appointed a COM
mittee of one to consult with the wine
men and secure material with which to
nearer tolerable By themselves and their
Eastern friends. Moffitt promised to do
his best to make at least this portion of
the delegations trip success.
The decorations of the train, which is to
consist of two sleepers and which is to ac-
commodete the twenty delegates from
Nevada as well as the thirty-six who are
to go from California, have been left to
Mr.. Baker. The delegation will leave here
on Thursday night at o'clock, travelling
over the Central Pacific, Union Pacific and
Chicago and Alton roads.
Four of the California delegation are
already at St. Louis and have been doing
much creditable missionary work toward
the Endorsement by the Silverites of the
Democratic nominees. The names of these
members are General II. r. Wiley, George
?. Keeney, John f. Flynn and Hector
McLain.
Yesterday telegram was sent to George
3. Nixon at Winnemucca, the chairman of
the Nevada Silver party organization, ask
ing him what effect the nomination of
Bryan would have on the Nevada delega-
ton. This was the reply:
They will go now with renewed energy
and determination. We will make his
election sure by giving him our indorse-
ment."

New Orpheum Attractions.

one OF the new events on the Orpheum's bill
last evening was the first appearance of John
ana Marion Manola Mason in an operate
sketch. This amusing musical couple have a
Worldwide reputation, and having Joined the
vaudeville ranks they have achieved the same
successes that attended them in the Legitimate
business They are good drawing cards, being
eomieal, melodious and pleasing
Another new feature is the engagement of
professor Fred Macart and his comic baboon,
dog and monkey, which is the best thing of its
klnd IN the country. The Donates, two clever
one-legged dancers, also made their first ap-
pearance in this City. The bright and sunny
fellows known as the Rossow Midgets have
been retained for another week. Other at.
uactlve numbers appear on the bill.

Its red wig, and his hating gait were effective,

they had been unable to get at the facts in
the case, but the Judge refused to grant
any more delay. The witnesses for the
prosecution had been examined and cross
examined by other attorneys for Gordon.
Then a motion was made to transfer the
case to another court, as the Judge had
played the part of a detective and had ar
rested Gordon. the Judge said he had
simply done his duty as an officer of the
court and declined to transfer the case.
Gordon was then put on the stand and
denied stealing the milk, as charged. He
said w. w. Ackerson, at whose house
Special officer Fields caught him, was one
of his customers.
The Judge convicted Gordon on both
charges and ordered him to appear for
sentence tomorrow morning.

noon that he was not customer of Cor
don's and he had repeatedly complained
to the dairyman who supplied him about
not having his milk delivered to him.

East various varieties of fancy pigeons.
Twenty-Five pairs of long-distance homing
pigeons have been imported by these gen.
tlemen direct from Belgium. All these
birds have records of $50 miles, and have
won in every important race of Europe.
They have also imported from the loft of
Robert Joos Peoria, ILL.,, pair of maybe
pigeons. These birds are very attractive
and beautiful on account of their mark
Ings. They are the first magpies ever
brought to California, and will be very
attractive in the next show. Mr.. Deming
imported pair of prize winning English
carriers from the loft of Hevemyer Bros,
New York; also three pairs of Dragons
from ]. G. Morris of Concord and two
pairs of the same variety from G.. E.

f S. CHADBOURNE FAILS,
The Harbor Commissioner and
Furniture King Files
His Petition.
He Says That HIS Action Is the Con
summation of an Old Sym.
pathetic Strike.

Colonel F. S. Chadbourne filed his petit
ton in bankruptcy yesterday.
Colonel Chadbourne has been known as
the great furniture man of the coast. His
wares have been in every market from
the Mexican line-perhaps below that-to
the Aleutian islands. He had branch
houses in Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles
and San Diego.
In 1892 his upholsterers struck-one of
those sympathetic strikes for which no i'll
treatment of his own was responsible. The
strike spread through the Federated
Trades.
After seige of six months Colonel
Chadbourne retired from the business,
selling out at auction at great loss. Since
then the shrinkage in values has COM
pleted what the compulsory closing out
OF his business began and the filing OF the
petition in bankruptcy was made yester-
daV.

trustees of the Chamber of Commerce by
Mr.. Carlisle asks for early action by the
chant Der. Illustrating what has been done
on the Atlantic Coast he quotes the fol-
lowing from the New York Tribune:
Secretary Herbert is convinced from
the practical results which have been OBJ
tanned during the past few years with the
pigeons from the Government cote at An
napolls that carrier pigeon as messen-
ger between ship and shore would be a
valuable addition for strategic purposes in
time of war;
The stations on the Atlantic Coast and
Gull OF Mexico, for which Secretary Her
bert has already arranged, are at Ports
mouth, n. H, Boston. Newport, New Lon
don, Conn.,, Brooklyn. Philadelphia, Wash
lngton, Annapolis, Norfolk, Port ROYAL,
Pensacola and Key West, and secondary
stations will soon be esta blished at Port
land, Me-, Cape Hatteras or Wilmington,
st. Augustine, and Juniper Island and
Tampa, the last three named places being
in Florida, and also at Galveston.
The arrangement proposed by Mr.. Car
Isle he considers as only temporary ex-
psdient. After the experiments have
demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of
shipping men and others what can actu-
ally be accomplished, it will be inexpe-
dent to have the station at Berkeley be-
cause that would involve the transporta-
ton of the birds daily across the bay and
would be inconvenient in many respects.
He has in view the ultimate location of
the station on Goat Island, partly because
the Naval Training Station of the United
States will be located there and also largely
because that will be convenient place
from which to take the birds to put Them
on outgoing ships. The trustees of the
Chamber of Commerce will come together
next Tuesday and the communication will
probably meet with some action al that
time. If recommendation shall be made
soon follow.

Grounds.
There Will Not Be Parade Because
the French Military Companies
Have Disbanded.

All arrangements for the proper cele-
bration in this City, by the members of
the French Colony, of the French national
fete, the anniversary of the taking of the
Bastile, were completed yesterday and
now nothing remains but the carrying out
of the prepared programme to successful
termination
What in the past was a feature of these
celebrations will be omitted this year, and
that is the parade of French military and
civic organizations. This is due to the
fact that the French military organiza-
tions have disbanded. The Lafayette
Guards and the French Zouaves have
ceased to exist, not wishing TO reorganize
under the provisions of the new law
affecting volunteer companies. The cele-
bration will be conducted under the
auspices of general committee selected
from the various civic bodies, and the

the bail. For the first time in the history of
the street railway system the cars running
to the park will be operated all night.
Last evening a number OF French resi-

in past years was always noticeable for
lavish and artistic flag display, was bare

Trains and Steamers Crowded With
People Taking Advantage of the
Present Low Rates.

Owing to the advance in passenger rates
which will become effective between here
and Portland on the 22d, on both rail and
steamship routes, there is an unprece-
dented exodus northbound.
On the steamer which left Sunday morn
ing for Portland every berth was taken
several days before the vessel sailed, and
nearly score were satisfied to go on her
and sleep on the floor. Yesterday every
berth on the steamer to leave on the 18th
for Portland was taken by noon.

and ticket will be sold to every one who
applies.
