 Among the curiosities of the conven- ton is the nomination to Congress of J. Aubrey Jones, who Is a Silver Re publican. The nomination shows that Democrats do not propose to sacrlhce themselves, so long as the Vlcarlous method remains available. IT there IS a fighting chance the Democrats tum- sble over each other to get it. If noth- ing but the upholding of principle IS at stake they want somebody else to uphold it.
 A convention is a good place for the study of human nature. Men forget
 their manners, as Mayor Phelan for gets his dignity and yells. He even an nounces the solid vote of his delega- ton. and Is promptly corrected by mem

FAILED TO KEEP PROMISES. Mayor Phelan's Political Advisors Charged With Breaking Faith
 by San Diego Delegates.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 1S.-Several members of the San Diego County delegation were much wrought up this evening. They as- serted that MT. Fay, the private secre- tary of Mayor Phelan, had come to them and assured them that if San Diego County would cast it's solid vote to seat the delegation of the Committee of One Hundreds from San Francisco, in return for that favor San Francisco would cast Its solid vote of 154 for Judge Hughes for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
 Earl Rogers of Los Angeles County states that he was present at the time MT. Fay made this pledge. San Diego County cast it's solid vote for the McNab- Phelan delegation, but when the roll was called on the nominees for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge Hughes received only a scattering vote from San Francisco. This was a surprise to the San Diego delegates, and 1t was something they had not looked for. Later they learned that Gavin McNab, Mayor Phelan and Andy Lawrence had determined to force the nomination of Judge Coffey against that gentleman's ex- pressed desire. Upon learning of this, the friends of Judge Hughes decided to with draw him and throw their support to Judge Conley. This they did and thereby Diego delegates will not forget the double dealing of MT. Fay, and they claim they will camp on the trail of the political purists from San Francisco until they have an opportunity to even up the score

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Cal, Aug. 1S.-In the First Con- gressional District Convention there were some differences to adjust before the fusion programme could be carried out J. F. Farrahar of Siskiyou was elected chairman and c. O. Dunbar of Sonoma secretary. MT. Dunbar wanted to have a committee appointed to see if a trade could not be made whereby the Populists would take the Third District and give the Democrats the First Dis trict
 Delegate Cutler declared that the re- port of the fusion committee had been adopted by the general convention, and that the Congressional could not now overturn that agreement. Mir. Cutler said that the First District must nomi- nate a Populist and there was no way out of 1t. Still Delegate Dunbar kicked, but without avail.

GEN. MERRrTr ON PHILIPPINES
Thinks It 1mposulble to Establish

Thinks IL Impossible to Establish
American Government There.
London, Nov. 16.-Gen. Wesley Merritt
United States army, who is stin in this
city, has read with great deal of in
terest the long letter of complaint against
American officials in the Philippine Is
lands, addressed by the so-called Filipino
junta of Hong Kong to President McKin-
ley and the people.
In discussing the Filiplnos, the American
general refers to them as children" and
says that it would be impossible to es-
tablish American government in the Is
lands. He adds that they must have some
form of colonial government, similar to
the British colonial governments.
Regarding the complaints of the Filipi-
nos, the general says: ut was impossible
to recognize the insurgents and 1 made
it point not to do so, as 1 knew it would
lead TO complications. Admiral Dewey,
after my arrival, pursued the same course.
What was done before is not for me to
comment on. I, purposely, did not recog-
nize Aguinaldo or his troops, nor did
use them in any way Aguinaldo did not
ask to see me until ten days after my ar
rival. After that, I was too much oc-
cupied to see him.
I'm talking with leading Filipinos, told
them the United States had no promises
to make, but that they might be assured
that the government and people of the
United States would treat them fairly
This was because the United States is in
the habit of dealing fairly with all strug-
Cling people, and not because 1 had been
authorized to say anything of the kind
I'VE purposely did not give the insur-
gents notice of our attack on Manila be-
cause we did not need their cooperation
and did not propose to have 1t. We were
moved by fear that. they might loot and
plunder and possibly murder. Aguinaldos
subordinate leaders, in conversing with
American officers, frequently said they
intended to cut the throats of all the
Spaniards in Manila.
"Aguinaldo himself wrote a complaining
letter saying the insurgents had been de-
MED their share of the booty whatever
he may have meant by that. took no no.
tice of this letter, nor do I think the sub
ject now raised is a matter for discussion
between Aguinaldo and any representative
of the American government"

GEN. OTIS FEARS THEY WILL COM
NIT A MASSACRE.

American COntrOI-Gen. Otis
Forces Are Not Available for Pro-
teeting the People I'm the Province
of uOiIo Pending Peace Negotia-
tions.
Washington, Nov 16-Reports of a
somewhat disquietlng nature have been re-
ceived from Gen. Otis at Manila. He says
that the province of Iloilo in the Island
of Panay, which is technically occupied
by the Spaniards, is surrounded by the in
surgents and that fears are entertained
that the Spanish population and garrison
will be massacred by the insurgents.
The capital of the province is S55 miles
from Manila, but this and the other ISL
ands, with the exception of Manila and
its adjacent country. is not under con-
troll of the Americans
Heretofore the United States officers
have tried to prevent disturbances between
the Insurgents and the Spaniards through
good offices and counsel The Indications
are, however. that the present situation
In Iloilo cannot be controlled by the United
States army al Manila or the insurgent
leaders there, and If serious consequences
are averted some other method will
have to be adopted. The troops under
Gen. Otis are not available for any such
duty. and under the terms Of the protocol
pending peace negotiations it is not de-
sirable to send force from the army
20 the Island of Panay.
There Is no intention at present of send
ing additional troops to Gen. Otis, but the
situation Is such as TO strengthen the de-
termination of the Administrations not 20
reduce the available force now under his
command.
