ministration.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 25.-The free
silver Democrats of Missouri have set in
motion a plan to capture the Kentucky
delegation to the Chicago convention for
Bland. A conference to this end was held
here to-day by leading free silver Demo-
Gratis, including nearly all the Missouri
delegates to Chicago. Governor Stone was
made chairman. Letters were read from
prominent Kentuckians and others. Hon.
II. II. Crittenden, son of the Consul
General to Mexico, read letter from his
father which stated that if Bland was
nominated the writer would be found in
the front rank of the fighters with his coat
off.
All the speakers thought Kentucky
could be secured for Bland and that the
effect of the defeat of the administration
goldbugs in Carlisle's own State would
secure BANDS nomination. 1t was re-.
solved to draw upon township clubs for q
lobby delegation of 10000 marching Mis-
sourians.
An executive session followed. Treas
urer Stevens opened the question of re-
vising the two-thirds rule in the National
Convention. 1t was decided that if a sill
yer majority was apparent the rule should
be changed to get nomination by ma
iority and thus make easy going for Bland.
A committee consisting OF Governor Stone
and five associates was appointed to push

BRIDGING THE MERGED.
Wheat Laden Trains on the San JOAQUIN
VALLEY Road win Soon Be Crossing
the River.

MERGED, CAL, April 25.-The people
are well pleased over the announcement
in to-day's CALL that the Valley road
would commence freight traffic upon the

lively when shipments commence.
Work on the bridge over the Merced
River is being pushed along rapidly and
since the completion of the road to the
north bank of the stream the contractors
are being supplied with plenty of material
so that there is no further delay.
The site of the bridge is fourteen miles
from Merced. Half of this distance is
ready for the iron and by the second week
in May the grade to Merced will be COM
pleted. Every part of the construction
work is well in hand and all the connec-
tions will be made on the date named by
Engineer Storey.
On clear day the smoke of the loco
motive at the Merced River can be seen
from the Courthouse dome.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 25-Bill
Nye once said that DIR. Mary Walker was
''self-made man." On similar grounds
it might be claimed that a great many
men and boys here tonight are self-made e
women, but what comical and hideous
makes they are. 1t seems to be the
rage more than ever for the males here
abouts to make up as women on masking
occasions.
AT $3.50 last night Queen Mildred of La
Fiesta abdicated in favor OF King Carni-
val, who now holds undisputed sway. He
is King whose strange pleasure it is to
distort and disguise humanity so that a
mother would not recognize her offspring.
In this manner decorum and propriety
are set at naught and the individual goes
forth so completely disguised that per-
sonal responsibility is at an end and the
reckless reveler seeks out his fellows to
frighten, annoy or jest with them. He
taxes his its at every turn in order to
spring some new surprise or execute some
new caper. The inevitable accompani-
ment OF these grotesque and frightful
maskers are several varieties of ear tor
turers. Horns which emit every conceiv-
able sound are most in evidence.
There are bells, gongs, pans, Stats and
countless other devices, to which are
added the yell, whistle, croak, catcaH,
grunt, snore, howl end bray OF the small
boy, and, in many cases, those of "chiI-
dren of larger growth" spoken OF by
Dryden.
The most comical maskers abroad to-
night are the made-up darkies. These are
so utterly hideous as to be shy of them
selves. Pandemonium turned loose, the
imps of Pluto's train rampant, 10000
voices, re-enforced by the fanfare OF
horns That is what Los Angeles is ex-
periencing tonight.
1t is the small boys delight and the
maiden's glee. But throughout it all runs
good humor, Joy and gladness. There is
no drunkenness nor brutal assaults and.
unlike last years carnival night, no -four
throwing. The sun will soon break upon
Sabbath morn, but the maskers and
revelers still throng Broadway. Main and
Spring streets.

BOISE'S MEN ACTIVE,
SitUer Democrats Assert Their Rights in
IoaUa.


WATERLOO, Iowa, April 25. = The
County Convention of the Blackhawk
County Democracy split this afternoon on
the money question and the result is that
two delegations were named to the State
Convention-one headed by Ex-Governor
Boies and instructed for free silver and
one Of gold men. AT the start the gold
men got the best of the silver element and
the silver men withdrew to corner and
started a rival convention.
Each organization tried to howl down
the other. The gold men sent for the
sound-money Sheriff to put the silver men
out, and the silver men sent for the white
metal chief of police to eject the gold
people. The gold committee on creden-
tlals seated fifty Of the ninety delega tes
for gold; the silver committee declared
that there were sixty silver delegates en-
titled to seats who were for silver. Each
bouy held It's own convention and chose
delegates to the State Convention. The
gold men adopted the following:
Resolred, That we applaud the admipistra-
uon OF Cleveland and the maintenance of high
character and backbone in dealing with
foreign nations, and particularly in the main
tenance OF the Nations credit at home against
the will OF those who would in any way as
sail 1t.
ResotUed, That we favor the present gold
standard unalterably, and oppose free coinage
of silver.
The silver men resolved thus:
That the delegates at this, the regular Demo-
cratic convention for Blackhawk County, be
instructed to vote for Horace Boies for delegate
at-large TO the National Convention.
The convention then adopted a long
resolution in favor of bimetallism and the
free coinage of silver and Boies for dele.

the chairman to prepare statement OF
the contest to be taken before the State
Committee atlthe convention at DUBUQUE.

an Old Time Friend Dfscredits NesU-
coner's Story of the killing.
TEMPLETON, CAL, April 25.-C. H.
Beauchamp of this place was an old-time
friend of Colonel Caleb T. Dorsey, who
was killed by his mining partner, J. T.
Newcomer, near Columbia. He said
to-day:
81 have known the Dorseys ever since
1858, when l met ohm and Thomas Dorsey
in Stanislaus County, where they were in
the cattle business. Thomas Dorsey shot
a Mexican cattle thief once at rodeo;
but they were unusually peaceful and
quiet men.
Colonel Caleb Dorsey l met in the
same place after the war. He was engaged
in raising horses at Oakdale, Stanislaus
County. My acquaintance with him ex-
tended over a period of fifteen or sixteen
years, and in all that time he never car
ried pistol. He was frequent visitor at
my house, and stopped often over nights,
so [ should have known if he had a
weapon. tits unlikely that he commenced
carrying one at this late day, and believe
that he was murdered"
Beauchamp is an old Kentuckian, and
anxious for Dorsey's reputation as a
peaceful, law-abiding citizen.

the item in the Committee on Co mmerce

Assemblyman Thomas of California, who

night declined to discuss the matter, stat

eTs were we'll provided for i'll the appro-
priation and he was perfectly satisfied with
the wording of the item as 1t passed the
House
He has been reliably informed that the
recommendations of the Debris Commls-
sion. as originally designated, must be the
basis of operations.
1t seems that the delegation and the
friends of this project had anticipated the
antagonism of Mr.. Johnson in reference to
this particular language of the Debris
Commission. and had so ordered the item
in the House that the Secretary of w ar
would necessarily refer to the exact rec
ommendation which Mr.. Johnson sought
to entirely eliminate.
No appropriation is made by Congress
except on express and explicit recon-
mendation of Government engineers. De
Guerre Point, being the only place Sc
lected as the location for the construction
of a barrier (by the California Debris Com
mlssion), will necessarily be the site for
such barrier.
This will be welcome news to the miners
of Nevada County. Not only did Mr..
Johnson object to the wording of this part
OF the paragraph. but he earnestly en-
deayored to have all reference to section %
OF the Caminetti act stricken out.
This motion was overruled by the dele
CATION, they preferring to let the wording
remain as it passed the House, this Ian
guage having been acceptable to all after
reference to sections % and % of the
Caminetti act had been stricken out, as
agreed to by the Anti Debris As ISOLATION
