Abolition of the TWo-thirds

CHICAGO, June 1.-The two-thirds
rule, heretofore governing nominations.
will be abolished by the silver majority
in the Democratic national convention.
This is the positive prediction of w. j.
Bryan, the choice of Nebraska silver
Democrats for president. Mr.. Bryan
himself favors the abolition of the time
honored rule, and he says that there Is
no question of its being wiped out. He
bases his prediction on the assumption
that the silver men will control the con-
vention. AS matter of fact, what is
assumed by the Nebraska leader on this
point is practically admitted by the gold
leaders.

of the subcommittee of the Democratic
national committee-all gold men

VIII Not Sign the Deficiency Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The indica-
lions are that the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill will not receive the
presidents signature, owing principally
to objections to the items appropriating
$1,5OO,OOO for the payment Of French
spoilation claims. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the bill will not be vetoed,
but will be permitted to become law
without signature.

controlling the national convention had
not materialized. Now, however, as
the struggle for keeping us from having
a majority of the delegates has been
given up by the gold men, can speak
more confidently. There is no doubt in
the world that the silver delegates will
have sense enough to abolish the rule.

said they will, but straddle will not
deceive the silver Republicans who are

An Effort Being Made to Awaken an
Interest in 1t.
When the Odd Fellows Library of this
City, which has on its shelves over A, 900
volumes, including many of the most
valuable books of reference obtainable,
was reincorporated in 1870, without capital
stock, it was resolved to maintain it bv
the City lodges paying yearly 81 per
capita.
From time to time of late years one
lodge and another withdrew its support
and the directors, believing that it is too
valuable collection of books to pass out
of the control of the Odd Fellows, sent an
appeal short time ago to each of the
thirty-one subordinate lodges in this City
to send representatives to a meeting to be
held for the purpose of devising ways and
means to continue the library. The meet
ing was held last Saturday night, when
eighteen lodges were represented. Each
delegate expressed himself in favor of
adding his individual effort to the object
sought to be attained.
The following were appointed a.
committee to report at the next meeting a.
plan of operation: George 7. Shaw, w. H.
Barnes, II. T. Creswell, James Linforth,
4. II. Black, A. Street and Mr.. Garrett.

year. California is said to be the para
disc for tenderfeet,' but surely Alaska IS
the paradise for the webfeet.
The lecturer paid glowing tribute to
the United States Government and the
Geographical Survey for what had been
done in the way of scientific research in
that country, and particularly in the ex-
ploration of the Malaspina glacier, which
covers an area of 1900 square miles.
Then by means of great number of pic
lures thrown on the canvas the lecturer
took his audience through the Golden
Gate, showing them familiar City scenes
and views of the bay to the Farallone Is
lands, giving them views of many points
of interest on those lonely points, scenes by
moonlight on the bay and ocean, the
Malaspina glacier, and explained the hard
ships of Russell Cook on his voyage of
discovery there. He showed them many
views of Alaska, including Sitka, the
Treadwell mine, the wonderful forest grow
ing on a moran that rests on a sub
strata OF ice, scenes on the Column ia River,
in the Siskiyou Mountains. Mount Shasta,
the sources of the Sacramento River, of
the orange belt near Chico, scenes in
Sonoma and Napa valleys. and closed with
the ferry landing in this City by night.
The lecturer, who was frequently ap-
plauded, declared that the time allotted
him precluded lecture such as the sub
ject merited, and added that California
and the north had all the beautiful scenery
that any one could possibly wish to see.

Government had purchased it for paltry
S7,250OOO, and had more than been reim-
bursed In the amount paid annually by the
Alaska Commercial Company.
This country" said the speaker, itis a
most wonderful one, being rich in fish
cries, mines of gold and minerals and af-
fords fine opportunity for the energy
and enterprise of our young men. But it
is the duty of the Government to see that
this Territory be kept from the hands of
spectators and that it be turned over
only to actual settlers. The Perkins bill
for the disposition of lands In Alaska NAV
be good one, but it should be CLOSELY
scrutlnlzed to see that there is not some
thing in it that will give spectators an
opportunity to grab all the land and then
sell it to settlers at great advance.

interpreter was hunted up, and at the

SEEKING VENGEANCE.
Enrique Cano, a JeweIer, Creates a
scene in Judge Lows Court and
Is Arrested.

Enrique Cano, a ieweler, was arrested
outside Judge Lows courtroom yesterday
morning on warrant at the instance of
A. Rulfs, charging him with threats to
kill.
Rulfs keeps a lodging-house at Oak street
ana Van Ness avenue. Some months ago
Cano, who was one of Rulfs' dodgers, was
torclbly elected, because he refused to paw
the rent. due. and his household goods
thrown into the street. Cano vowed venge-
ance and shortly afterward swore out
three warran is in Judge Lows court for
Rulfs arrest on charges of forcible entry.
The landlord was arrested and released on
bail.
The cases hung fire in the Police Court.
ana Cano, who saw no reason for the laws
delay, carried his grievance before the last
Grand Jury, but no indictments were re-
turned. The new Grand Jury had hardly
assumed its duties when Cano appeared
before 1t and told the story of his supposed
wrongs. Thus far no action has been
