heads.
CANNOT ACT 1NTELLIGENTLY.
Mckinley Might Be Thrust Aside as
Blaine Was When Hayes Was
Nominated.

The sentiment in favor of an unpledged
delegation to st. Louis seems 70 be gain
ing daily in California.
Charles +. Reed of Auburn, Placer
County, the notable Republican leader
and delegate to many National conven-
tions in times past, is one OF many Repub-
licans opposed to pledging the delegation.
Mr.. Reed has a rare fund of information
regarding the political occurrences OF Cali
fornia and the Nation. He was asked last
night what he thought about pledging the
California delegation to any Presidential
candidate.
81 don't think anything of it," said Mr..
Reed. "To my mind, if a delegation is
sent in this way it will be tying it hand
and foot and making nonentity out of it.
At the best such delegates would be mere
fgureheads. They couldn't do anything
if the circumstances should change, as it is
always liable to do at any convention, and
they would have no power.
ELECT good men, men of intelligence,
character and probity, and then let them
go and do the best they can. The party
platform is sufficient. The delegates have
to act in q manner consistent with that,
and that is enough.
IAN intelligent man should surely have
some latitude outside of that. If you tie
the delegation up you rob it of its real
power.
81 remember well the time that General
Hayes was nominated. 1t was supposed
that Blaine would be the nominee, beyond
doubt, but he wasn't. 1 only mention
this anent the candidacy of Mr.. McKin-
ley, who is supposed now to have the larg.
est support. There is no certainty about
Mckinley, any more than there was about
Blaine. At present he appears to be the
choice, the same as Blaine was.
"There are so many contesting delega-
tions, State and National, that 1 look for a
very warm National Convention. | would
not be surprised at all if it got to be red hot.
"No delegation should go there tied up.
1t won't receive the respect it would other
wise or have anything like the influence.
81 am for any good Republican and be-
lieve we can elect whoever we nominate.
am only desirous personally that the
delegation be sent in such way that it
may accomplish the most good for Cali
Iornia and the coast. In my judgment an
delegation can best do this"

DUNLAP ON CLEVELAND,
The Owner of the Large Brook.
lyn Hat Works Has No
Use for Him.
Dunlap's Story of His Acquaintance
With Grover When He Was
Mayor-For Protection.

Robert Dunlap, the halter, who has
amassed an immense fortune in recent
years by the extension of his manufacture
ing, is at tie Palace.
He came with the hotel men, for he is
himself hotel-owner. his caravansary
is the Hotel Breslin at Lake Hoparcong,
n. ].
The man who has made so much money
by supplying g headgear to the waiting
multitudes lives in Brooklyn, N. Y, where
his great hat works are.
He is a stout man of about 60 years,
with heavy gray mustache and whiskers
OF the Vandyke order. Yesterday when
CALL representative visited him at his
rooms he was lying on lounge, his coat
off and the coat drawn loosely over him.
He had caught cold and had been iostled
about in the excursion so much that while
it rained outside he was trying to catch
little rest.
Mr.. Dunlap has views as to the Presi-
dency and what should be done in the
forthcoming National campaign and is

Chief Officer W. Williams has very little
to add to the statement made by Captain
Hughes. Everything possible was done
to save the ship" said he, "but the fates
were against us. We had provisions on
deck, but the fire and smoke ruined them
and then again we could not get them,
bad as they were, into the boats. The sea
was running mountain high in an un-
broken swell, and we had to make Jump,
one at time, to get into the boat. The
men were loyal to the last, and when Ben
Foster went back into the cazarette to
rescue John Reynolds they cheered him
again and again. All the vessels leaving
Newcastle, N. S. W., seem to be playing
in bad luck. The ship Knight of st. Mi
chaels, bound for South America, was
compelled to put into Sydney with her
cargo heated. She was fixed up and is
now on her way again"

the crew. Il left the Alexandra in Sgd

Now find had almost similar expert
ence on the Republic. The heat and the
smoke and the gas were something awful,
and the only chance we had for a rest was
to lie down on the poop deck. When we
reached the HOLLYWOOD we all heaved
sigh of relief, but when we heard that she
also had been on fire our confidence waned
a little. | am sorry that the Republic is
gone, but I'm more than glad to be back
on the front again.
All the sailors were provided with new
clothes by the British Consul, and then
they went to the Sailors Home until they
