gate Flynn was nominated for terri
torial delegate to congress by the Re-
publican convention tonight He was
nominated on the third ballot over
Richard T. Morgan, after bitter fight
between the factions headed by Mr..
Flynn and Governor Barnes. The con-
vention wrangled all the afternoon
over a resolution endorsing the admin
istration of Governor Barnes, the fol-
lowers of Flynn opposing the resolu-
tons, and even proposing resolutions
cenSuring the administration of the
governor as detrimental to the inter-
eStS of the party. Governor Barnes
was finally endorsed. however, several
of his followers, who also favored
Flynn, insisting upon this action as a
condition of their support of Flynn for
delegate. Mr.. Flynn at first declined
the nomination, but after many dele
gates who had opposed him made
speeches pledging their support in the
campaign, the nominee announced that
he would accept on condition that he
be permitted to absolutely control the
conduct of the campaign. This condi-
ton was granted.

California Republicans Nominate a
Los Angeles Lawyer.
Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 24.-The state
Republican convention today nominal
ed Henry Gage. a Los Angeles attor-
ney. for governor, and Joseph II. Neff
for lieutenant governor. Gage had only
one opponent George c. Pardee of oak
land. who, before ballot was taken,
withdrew in favor of Gage. The nom1-
nation of Gage was then made by ac-
clamation.
There was a long delay when the
platform committee was preparing its
report and the delegates put in the
time listening to patriotic speeches.
The platform reaffirmS adherence to
the national platform adopted in ST.
Louis in 1896 and extends the thanks
of the Republican party to the sailors
and soldiers of the army and navy.

tribute is paid to the navy
California senators and representa-
tives in congress are pledged to vote
and work for the building of an ade-
quate navy and to insist that part
thereof be constructed on the Pacinc
coast. A glowing tribute is paid to
President Mckinley, and the people of
the United States are congratulated
that the broad American policy of the
president has diSSipated all sectional
issues.
Belief in the financial plank of the
Republican national platform of 1896
is reafiirmed, and the administration is
urged to secure an international none
taTy agreement whenever an opportu-
nifty to do so shall be presented. Presi-
dent Mckinley is commended for his
refusal to consider any proposition
looking into the assumption of the
Spanish Cuban debt. The declared
policy of the president to accord the
people of Cuba an opportunity to form
a stable government, thus redeemlng
the promise made to the world, is en-
dorsed, but the platform demands the
retention of the island of Porto Rico
and other West Indian islands, and of

are endorsed. and the building of the

mands that congress pass an exclusion
act prohibiting further japanese and

clrsion acts shall prohibit both the
Japanese and Chinese now located at

SECRETARY ALGER'S BLUNDERS.
Report That He Will Hide Himself
In the Senate.

London, Aug. Embarrassing the ru-
NOR that Secretary of War Alger will
ts-ke refuge in the senate to escape re-
sponsibility for his blunders in the war
office, and that Senator Mcmillan VIII
become ambassador in London, the
Times expresses the opinion that II
America becomes d cOlOniZing power
she will be compelled to abandon this
huctuating style of administration in
favor of trained civil and military ad-
ministrators, not likely TO removal
with each presidential change. and not
too dependent upon politics for their
selection and promotion. 1t will be
equally important to cultivate perma
nence in diplomatic representation
abroad.
The article then proceeds to deal
with the suggestion of Mr.. White for
the London embassy as worthy Of
careful consideration on this ground,
though there is no American tradition
which points to Mr.. White, persona
grata as he is in English society and
experienced in English ways, as Colo
mel Laws successor.
