CALIFORNIA FOR x'KIxLEY.
The Ohio Man ana Free silver Are
Endorsed

Vne Oh10 Man and Free Silver Are
Endorsed.
Sacramento, Cal, May 8. - The Nc
Kinley enthusiasts completely cap
tured the Republican state convention,
although the district delegates elected
from the Fourth congressional district
were unpledged and were avowedly
Allison supporters. The Fifth district
delegates will probably be of the same
political complexion, but the other
fourteen are bound to Mckinley by
the strongest pledges that could be
framed. After eulogizing the Ameri-
can protective tariff system as advo-
Gated by Blaine and McKinley. the
platform strongly endorsed Mckinley.
The convention came out squarely for
silver in the following declaration,
which was enthusiastically adopted:
I'VE favor the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio of is to
j, and the making of silver, as we'll as
gold, legal tender in payment Of all
debts, both public and private"
The following was the conventions
position regarding the public schools:
I'VE heartily recognize the right to
establish schools through private en-
terprise, but we demand that none but
non-sectarlan free public schools shall
receive public aid"
For delegates-at-large the following
were elected on the first ballot: John
d. Spreckels, George A. Knight, San
Francisco; U. s. Grant, Jr., San Diego:
i. A. Sheldon, Los Angeles. G. +.
Croker and Irving NJ. Scott were
nominated for presidential electors-at-
large. John T. Lynch was nominated
for lieutenant governor and the con-
yention adjourned sine die.

TROUBLE RESULTS FROM THE NIL.
WAUKEE STREET CAR STRIK n
llobs Composed OF sympathiaers Of
the strikers Gather at the vari-
GUS Car BARNS, stone the Build-
ings, Drive on the Police and As
sault the New Men-some Arrests
Are Made.

Milwaukee, May 5.-A strike Of the
900 employees Of the Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway and Light company was
inaugurated last night, and as each car
was run into the barn m0torman and
conductor left it not to return until the
demands of the union for increased
pay, recognition of the employees or
ganization and several minor cOnces--
sions are granted. The electric rail-
way company has seen that a strike
was certain to occur, and has been
quietly arranging to fill the places OF
the strikers. A number of men have,
been brought here from other cities to
take the places Of the strikers, and
are quartered in the several barns.
The directors Of the road positively
refuse to grant two of the leading re-
quests those for higher wages and
the settlement Of difficulties by arbi-
tration. The officials, however, sig
nified their willingness to discuss the
minor grievances with the men. Gen.
eral Manager Wyman said that no dis
cussion would alter the determination
of the directors to ccncede nothing in
their position relative to wages and
arbitration, and the men said that no
agreement could be accepted by them
in which present conditions in these
respects form q part.
Negro cooks arrived from Chicago
last night and were at once taken to
the car barns where arrangements
had been made to feed the new men,
who will sleep in the barns as long as.
they are in any danger of violence.
Similar arrangements will be made at;
the power house on River street.
General Manager Wyman, of the.
company, had conference with May
or Rauschenberger and Chief of Po-
lice Jansen and received assurances
that everything possible would DO
done to protect the company's proper
ty. AT least 100 special policemen
were sworn in today. Some of them
were stationed at the barns and pow
er houses, and others were placed on
the cars to protect the ne wmen. The
strike has tied up the entire electric
and street railway service of the city.
The several lines are owned by the
one company, and every employee OF
the road Is member of the union. In
addition to the street railway EN-
ployes. the electric light employees are
involved. and will probably strike this
afternoon. They number 300 men, and
operate the only electric lighting plant
In the city. Unless the company is
prepared to man the power house. the
city will be without light tonight ex-
cept for gas.

Milwaukee. May 6.-The street rail-
way strike assumed a more serious az.
pect to-day. Every car barn in the
city was surrounded by large crowds
which stoned the buildings, and in
some instances drove on the police
who had been detailed to guard the
barns. The mobs were made ND Of
sympatlizers OF the strikers, who.
themselves. took no part in the demon
STATIONS, and for the u,ost part did
not go near the barl,s at all. The
largest mohs We're at the Third and
Burlcish street barns, where the pa
troll wagon was twice called out and
where two arrests, the first of the
strike. were made.
At all the harms mohs numbering
from 5000 to 5000 were gathered. At
each there was more or less dis
turbance, and a number of non-uaion
men who took the strikers places
were assaulted. Two car inspectors
We're rescued by the police from q
large mob.
AT a meeting of strikers and repre-
sentatives of the electrical workers Of
the city it was decided that the cleo
tricians in the power house should
walk out. All the electricians in the
city will be included. about 800 in
number. Shortly after it became
known that the electicians would take
this action, it was announced by union
men that the men employed in the re-
pair shops of the street railway, 100
In all, would also quit work and join
the conductors and MotOrmen. In
quiry among the repair men indicated
the announcement to he correct. These
additions will swell the ranks of the
strikers to about 1.300. No men had
been brought into the city from out
side to ill the places of strikers, ac-
c0rdlng TO the statements of the union
men. Tile ten lines are completely
tied up.
Milwaukee. May 7.-Crowds of strike
sympathizers, largely composed OF
boys, created numerous little disturb
ances to-day. In some places Henry
.. Payne was hanged in etfigy, young
hoodlums stole the hats of non-union
motormen, though there were police
of1icers on the cars. street cars were
blockaded continually and several cars,
were stoned. Nobody, however, was
seriously hurt. and the strike as vet
continues to be remarkably free from.
any exhibitions Of violence.
About $50 electricians employed by
the company are now on strike. While
In no case was the number Of men who
quit large enough to cripple seriously
the work at the places they left, the
addition Of the men to the body OF
strikers served to encourage the lat
ter. Thirty-four cars, were run to-day
