 This is only one instance Of how Pardee Is beating himself In the Fourth Ward In Oakland, where six weeks ago nobody but Pardee was heard of, the shouts have become stilled since the doctor has given out his little list with orders to his fol- lowers to vote for them blindly. There are names on that list that good Repub- licans cannot and will not accept, and as licans cannot and will not accept, ana as Pardee refuses to change them there are rumors of discontent heard now where formerly only Joyous huzzas rang out before. In the t1rSt' Ihlrq ana Sixth Wards the situation is about the same as in the Fourth, while in the Seventh, Pardee's old home, the Davis men are openly claiming they Will carry the ward Berkeley and Washington and Murray Townships are solid for Davis while Eden is debatable ground. Pardee' shouters-that is the courthouse push, which the doctor denounced five years ago as unclean and corrupt-still make brave assertions that the doctor will get anywhere up to 60 per cent or the dele gation, but it is painfully evident they are whistling in the dark and that their assertions merely voice their desires.
 R. w. Snow is announced with four ish as Pardee's candidate Tor delegate at-large from Alameda county rms means that MT. Snow has been promised Pardee's support in his fight for Mayor of Oakland next spring
 T w. Nelson was the last man to re- ceiVe the doctors QOuDttu support TOT the Mayoralty. and though he had the indorsement of almost all the political bodies, the Pardee handicap was so great that he was badly beaten by J. l.. Davie, who was only incumbered by the Populist nomination.

mKINLEY SATISFIED THEM.
After Another Interview the Wa1
Party Concludes to Wait

Washington, April 1.-The committee
of the war party which waited on the
president yesterday reported to the con-
ference at meeting held after the ad-
journment. They stated that the pres
ident made a frank declaration as to
what was taking place between the two
governments and concluded with these
words:
I pray God that we may be able to
keep peace
The impression left with the deIega-
ton, however, was that he did not ex-
pect a peaceable adjustment In strict
est confidence Mr.. Mckinley outlined
the course of communications between
Washington and Madrid He stated
that all now depended on dispatches to
be communicated and received within
4S hours
The response of Spain to a message
cabled it by this government was ex-
pected hourly, and surely would be re-
ceived within "a hours. After it arrived
it would be necessary for this country
to send another cable note as reply to
Madrid All this might be accomplish
ed in less than 4S hours He therefore
intimated that it would be gratifying if
congress deferred taking action until
next week
Mr.Hopkins .(IlL) said he felt it would
be best to abide by the presidents
wishes Others who spoke at the meet
ing including Mr. Lorimer and Mr.. JOY,
advised postponement- The president,

ROW IN PORTO RICO.
Autonomist Ministry Resigns Almost
to a Man.

New York. April IA dispatch to the
Herald from St Thomas says
From San Juan. Porto Rico, comes
word that the entire autonOmiSt min
istry has resigned, with the exception of
two members
Military authority has prevailed
in the island but just now it is more
rigid than usual because of an autono-
mist riot a few nights ago in San Juan.
Another outbreak last night was only
prevented by strong forces of troops
and police
There was a big indignation meeting
in a theater in San Juan The theater
was surrounded by police and at one
time owing to the bellige-ent nature
of the crowd. the police were ordered to
make ready to fire Only the strong
vented what would undoubtedly have
been a bloody riot
Autonomy in the island has, accord
ing to my adviceS. proved an absolute
failure. At first the reforms were well
comeds but now public sentiment has

left their anchorage after dark last
night and steamed to the southwark to
patrol during the night These precau-
tiOns were ordered by Capt Sampson
He is particularly anxious to watch
closely the Havana entrance to this
harbor, and also to afford additional
safety for the Iowa, Indiana and New
York, which lie unprotected six miles
out.
The naval station officials have re-
ceived orders to overhaul their marine
engineering stock so that it could be
used instantly in case of emergency
Torpedo boats not engaged in patrolling g

Sunday, it is very probable there will

Weylerism in its broadest sense, pre-
walls generally
Failure of autonomy in Porto Rico
has not been the fault of the Sagasta
ministry, but is due entirely to the
greed of the colonial government and
the military. Under these officials au-
tonomy is not acceptable and the resig-
nation of the cabinet is due to the eff
forts of resident Spaniards and Porto
RicanS.
Efforts of the military officials have
been directed toward forcing their own
candidate at Porto Rico and to this is
largely due the present unsettled
condition in the island.
In the event of election riots the lives
of foreigners in Porto Rico will be in
great danger
