pyrotechnics of the occasion will be dis charged. By unanimous vote Waiter ' Stradley, ex-Commissioner or m m migration, was selected to preSiue at the reception. The sailors Union sent a letter of reSrst that the organization could not partlci : pate as body fin the welcome, although every man before ene mast had the great est admiration for MT. Mcguire.

pected that force would be attempted to intimidate honest men or prevent them from voting arrangements could be made to have some of the police present to pre- serve order and protect the voter from any hoodlutn element that might try to make trouble.
 ''The committee would of itself be the returning board and pass upon the elec- ton of all delegates and determine Ii a certificate should be issued or refused. In every case where the election officers reported that they had failed to secure an honest vote on account of fraud or force said committee could refuse to is- sue a certificate of election to any dele gate claiming one if it found such stateA ments on the part of the officers to be true The committee could then proceed to elect a delegate to represent such dis trict or could declare any Of the candl- dates for election in such districts whom 1t found to be defeated by such fraud or force to be the duly elected delegate.
 If a fair expression of the will of the masses of the voters of the Democratic party of this city cannot be secured In this manner 1t must be because the com mittee of one hundred, of which l have the honor to be a member, is incapable of governing the party through any of the methods recognized as proper for de- ternnining the will of the people under a popular form of government"

SAME OLD STORY OF NO DUST
Tell of the Struggling Mass of Hu-
 manity on the Valdez Glacier and the Perils They Are Subjected To.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

JUNEAU, Alaska, July 28 (by Steam ship Oregon to Seattle, Aug. 3).-The steamship. Excelsior came in this even ing and 130 more Copper River kickers walked ashore here. The Oregon came in soon after, bound south, and nearly all of them, taking advantage Of a special rate, left for the Sound on her.
 Chasers of the golden fleece are now ffocking back over the glacier from the Copper River Valley in droves, taking advantage of the remaining short sea- son only during which 1t is possible to go either backward or forward.
 w. Luckman of Oakland, Cal, says there were not less than 1000 men on the glacier and travelling for it when he came out seven days ago. He says that by this time there must be between 300 and 400 at Valdez waiting for a steamer. The price of grub has fallen and this fact makes 1t more difficult, In fact almost impossible, for men who have no money to sell their outfits for money to pay their passage home. Flour, for instance, On the other side of the glacier is $1 per sack and coffee 5 cent per pound. All other passengers have the same story of no gold and hard luck to tell, and all agree that they might as we'll attempt to swim up | Niagara Falls as to get any kind of a boat up the Copper River, which is a i roaring torrent.
 Two soldiers built a bridge across a l small stream. The bridge was washed away. and the soldiers remained on | the farther side for three days and nearly starved to death because 1t was not possible to wade the stream or otherwise get assistance to them. Cap ] tain Abercrombie and his men are now 1. attempting to make trail that Will make the exodus easier.
 l Others from Oakland besides Luck l man are B. Lueneburg, H. L. Schnoor, l F. Coons and Al Wiseman. They were among the party of forty-four which
 left Oakland on the schooner Lauinfa, September 22, 1897, for Copper River. They are returning with but little
 more than the clothes on their backs,
 with their steam launch and whale I boat left in the Copner River section 1 they do not know where. Most of
 this party of forty-four are still up in
 the Copper River country, though a few managed to return home earlier in
 the season. Luckman said he did not
 know where. they all were, as they were soon divided, scattered and lost to each other.
 The steamer Wolcott has been pulled
 off the route and put on cannery busi- ness. and the Excelsior has now almost a monopoly of the return travel from 1 Valdez. HAL HUFF MAN.

It's next meeting. The proposition IS so fair and 1t has all of the elements .neces. sary to secure for the people an honest expression of their will that the commit tee will not dare to refuse to adopt 1t.

has blundered and that in selecting the men who now comprise the handmade City and County Committee of the Demo- cratic party of San Francisco he made the fatal mistake of naming few--a very few good Democrats. He did not mean to do It., but even reformers sometimes blunder It was at the meeting of the committee Tuesday night that the whis- pering boss was brought to full realiza- tion of his mistake, through the open and earnest protest of few members or the committee against the proposition to appoint delegates to the State convention and thus prevent 30,000 voters of this clty from having voice in the selection or the men who are to represent them in body that will place in nomination all Of the candidates for State offices. Unfortu- nately for the aforesaid voters, the pro- test was without avail, for the reason that the honest men were in hopeless minority.
 The man who led the revolt against the programme of the whispering boss was Francis J. Heney. He was supported by seven members of the committee, all or whom declared against the proposition of appointing delegates instead of submit ting the mater to the voters of the party through the medium of primary elec- ton. He now proposes to fight the pro- grammers on their own ground, for the purpose of securing primary election for the selection of delegates to the muni- cipal convention. Ills views on the sub feet are such as will prove interesting to the followers of the whispering boss. In discussing the subject yesterday he said ::
