tan Hall to nominate Board of Free
holders.
1t was the same old story of row, when
the Democrats of the district meet. The
delega tion divided and two sets of dele
gates to the convention were nominated.
The representatives of both factions
were present last night to press their
claims for recogn iton. Neither side was
willing to give way. and after an hour of
that he would have to act in an arbitrary
manner He informed the contestants
that he would allow each side
to select two nominees and that
the fifth man would have to
be chosen by lot. Both factions retired
for a few minutes, and when they re-
turned they announced that they had
Kelly and J. Power. Harvey then
asked each side to suggest a can
didate for the fifth place. A J.
Reavy and d. }. Mahoney were
nominated. Harvey took a haf-dollar
piece from his pocket and said that he
would toss 1t in the air. II it came heads
Reavv would be the candidate; if tails,
Mahoney. The coin was tossed, it came
tails and Mahoney was declared the fifth
deleca'e.
There was no election in the Twenty
ninth District Monday night because Sem
ator Braunhart, who controls the major.
ity OF the delega tes is listed on the side of
the ''reformers." He instructed the men,
bers on Monday night to refuse to
meet, and they obeyed him. A notice
WAS then sent out to them
by order of Major Harvey directing
them to report at hea lquarters last night,
and eXpla n why they had not obeyed
the call for the election of delegates.
Only six out of the twenty-five responded
to the notice. as the other nineteen are not
doing politics with Rainey.
l. was necessary to have the district
represented tonight, and Major Harvey
was at first undecided as to what stand
he should take. After hurried con-
sultation with George Love, who,
with Billy GavIgan, constitutes his
advisory board when Rainey is not
close enough to give instructions, he di-
recIed that the names OF the six mem bers
present be written on slips Of paper. He
then drew five of them from hat and de-
olared them the delegates from the dis
irlct. The lucky ones were John Buchan-
an, T. j. Sheehan. M. A. Marion, T. D.
Mccarthy and John f. Kennedy.
In the Thirty-fifth District the Rainey-
ties were unable TO get five delegates.

Lord Salisbury, who was in the best of
health and spirits and who spoke with

hension, either at home or abroad"
Referring to the disturbances on the

placed as 10 be completely absoIved of all

Speaking of foreign affairs Lord Sails
bury denied that the Government had
yieloed to France in the matter of Siam,
Tunis or Madagascar. Turning 10 home
affairs, he said that the government OF
London was q question which must be
solved and could only be solved by giving
to other and smaller municipal bodies a
large part of the duties now performed
by the London County Council He
promised that the Government would
introduce legislation on the subject a the

He asked his hearers 10 lOOk at what

asked. Yet the result which was watched
with so much interest and which so many

Dealing with the results OF the recent

bury attributed the Conservative and Lib

United States Consul Hugh Long at
Nogales, Mexico, has furnished the State
Department particulars of the supposed
murder of party of Americans, headed
by Captain Porter, by the Seris Indians,
on Ilburon Island, in the Gulf of Califor-
MA. According to the statement made 10
the Mexican customs officers by Martin
Mendez, master of the soop Otia Cap
tain Porter sailed from San Diego, Cal,

engage In collecting shells. They LETT the
port of Guaymas August 9. under special
permission from the Mexican Govern
ment, to explore the shore and islands of
the gulf.
The Consul says that the island OF
Tiburon is peopled by most remarkable
tribe OF Indians. who are noted for their
large size aid extraordinary athletics on
land and water. Those who have wit
messed their aquatic sports, at a respect
ful distance, declare that many of them
can actually walk, or rather run, upon the
water with no other assistance than
broad rawhide shoes. They are expert
fishermen and huntsmen, having rigid
ideas as to the maintenance of game pre-
serves on the island and limiting the
killing OF game under severe penalties.
They destroy all children in infancy that
are maIformed or appear to be lacking in
intelligence. In this way the standard OF
P hysiCal and mental conditions in both
sexes is kept very high.
1t Is currently believed hat at one time
the native women were exterminated to
make room for whittier and superior race
OF women. The nucleus of this race of
newer women was formed from ca aptives
made at various times extending over
ser'es of years on land AMI water.
The na;ives have no schools, but each
home has system of physical training.
They guard their shores day and nighI,
and no man is allowed TO penetrate the
island even if he should make landing.
1t is said that no epidemics have ever
prevailed on the island and disease is
scarcely known among this extraordinary
people, SO that the men and women are
m magnificent in their physical develop
ment. No man or woman is allowed 10
live beyond the age of 20 years no matter

By careful selection a large percentage of
