| The Arcadia hotel ballroom, gaily decked
with the flags of all nations. and with its
smooth floor sprinkled with sawdust, pre-
sumably to keep the delegates from slip.
| ping, was the pleasant meeting place of
the Silver Republican convention.
At 10:4O r. H. Hewitt, chairman of the
Silver Republican county central COM
mlttee, raped for order, and without pre-
lminary remarks called for nomina tions
for temporary chairman. DR.. S. II. Boyn-
ton presented the name of ex-Gov. Nonel
4 M. Sheldon Of Pasadena. On motion his
nomination and election were declared
unanimous and DR.. Boynton was appoint
ed committee to escort him to the plat
form. Gov Sheldon, in accepting the po-
sitlon, spoke as follows:
Chairman Sheldon's Address
"As a general theory. 1 am opposed to
fusion, but as temporary expedient and
a necessary step to an inevitable result !
favor it this time. 1t is folly for men who
think alike to act separately. We have
approached the time when men hostile to
the domination Of the money power must
act together.
This is not the first time we have faced
such condition. 1 had just arrived at
manhood when the Republican party was
organized. Though brought up as Demo
crat I joined 1t at that time and have re-
mained with 1t ever since. Then there were
as now three parties or divisions in senti-
,ment-the old abolitionists despised and
abused by the Democrats, the Democrats
themselves and the old Wing organiza ton
But, under the one necessity of fighting the
slave power they laid aside petty differ
ences and harmonized.
And that conditions is similar to ours
today. Some Democrats are going over to
the money power-let them go. We will
gain more strength from the support of
good Republicans than we can possibly
lose through them.
II have never voted for a Democratic
governor in my life. but will this year.
(Great applause.) 1t is necessity. Now
Is no time to carp on small issues"
Temporary Organization
At the conclusion of his speech, which
was listened to with marked attention, the
chair asked for nominations for temporary
secretary. Frank ]. Cooper nominated

London Letter.

The Empress Of AusUria's murder
has created great sensation here.
She was well known in England and
Ireland, where she made many friends
especially among sportsmen and
sportswOmen. During the hunting
season, when she was over here, she
used to stay at the poorest country
inns. She rather preferred humble
quarters and disliked fuss. On one
occasion, when she had bespoken
rooms at a rather smart seaside hotel,
the manager thought to do the thing
of apartments with exquisite roses.
When the waiting arrived to
prepare for the Empress about an
hour in advance-she was stricken
with horror and exclaimed: "For
heavens sake, take away all these
flowers! Her majesty cannot endure
flowers, especially roses!" So all
hands bad to set to work and get the
unlucky decorations out of the way
before the royal visitor appeared. 1
had this story from a young lady who
was staying in the hotel.
Another characteristic anecdote
which the press has not got hold of is
the following, which was told by one
who was present. 1t dates back to
the palmy days of the beautiful En-
press, when she was yet full of the
'.jOie de vivre." A circus visited vi
emma, and gave a special command
performance" before the Empress and
court. After it was over, Elizabeth
sent for the ringmaster and question
ed him about certain wonderful
equestrieme, who was placarded rs

and whose feats had sent the noble
audience in ecstacies of applause. rs

asked the Empress. Absolutely,

place ready tomorrow morning, and

and she duly arrived, wrapped in a
long ulstre, which, being removed,
showed black costume consisting of
ballet skirts and tights. OF her two
companions, one was a Frenchwoman,
who relates that the exhibition which
followed was marvellous. The En-

programme, but added several daring
feats of her own invention, and
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
amazement of her observers, includ-
ing the ringmaster. When she had
finished. she asked him: "You must
own now that your young lady Is not
the finest rider in the world. You
must not put that statement in the
bills anymore" But, madame

said Elizabeth firmly. because it
would not be true. But you may saw
she is the finest circus rider i'm the
world. You see 1 am not a circus
overwhelmingly She added
this with deep sigh, and the look
of triumph faded from her face.
Poor woman! She met disiIlusion
very early. 1t is an open secret that
her husbands weakness where wo-
men were concerned embittereti her
marriage from the first. 1t seems
harsh to recall this now, SINCE the
monarch has long since sow-n his wild
oats and has suffered so cruelty; new
ertheless truth must be told. Her
own purity was Arctic. Those who
knew her best said that no man was
ever able to obtain the shadow of in
huence over her. There were several
passionate scenes with young mobiles
about the court; but she crushed
them under her feet like so many but
terfiies. One man she caused to he
sent to a post abroad. Her strict
views caused her to feel intense An

sObbing-a most unusual weakness.
By the way, his child. the little Arch
duchess Elizabeth, who is now fifteen
years old, has always been devoted to
her. At the time of the Empress's
murder she was staying alone at the
Castle of Luxembourg; and the En-
peror, knowing how acutely she
would feel the blow, gave orders that
the news should be kept from her un-
til her mother could get to her and
console her.
You know the legend of the white
lady of Hapsburg-the special ances-
tress who always comes to give warn
ing when one of the Inflated house
is about TO meet with sudden and
tragic death. She was seen in 1867, be
fore the execution of the emperor's
brother, Macmillan; again in 80, just
previous to the suicide of Rudolph.
She preceded the news that the ex-
Archduke John had been lost at sen:
and she was again seen before the aw-

Settlement of Differences with Can

TORONTO, Ont, Oct. IA settle
ment Of most of the long-standing diff
ferences between the United States and
the Dominion of Canada is practically
assured. That the sessions Of the in
tel national commission in Quebec were
productive Of much good is Vouched for
by the members themselves, and the
hope is expressed by all that the same
friendly spirit that was so evident in
the recent sessions will prevail when
the commission is reconVened in Wash
ington on Nov. l. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that all of the subjects which
have caused friction between the two
countries will be taken up and an
agreement reached in each Only one
question remains in doubt, and that is
the alien labor law. So far as this is
concerned the fear is expressed that no
change in the situation will be made
by the treaty.
The members Of the commission do
not hesit2Se to express their satisfac-
ton with the progress made, ard all are
agreed as to the ultimate result. When
questioned Lord HerschelI said:
I am delighted with the present out
look of the conference" He added that
he hoped and believed everything would
go equally smooth at Washington.
All the Canadian delegates spoke in
even more hopeful strains of the ulti-
mate end of the deliberations, and Sir
James Winters, of Newfoundland, who
has left for his island home, spoke in
an equally encouraging manner.
T. Jefferson Coolidge, of Massachu-
sets, said: This Anglo-Saxon confer
ence will settle many points which have
hitherto caused friction between the
two countries"
Senator Fairbanks, Of Indiana. when
questioned, spoke very freely He ga a. :

to thank the Canadian people for their
attention and kindness to US. The uego-
tiations will form a history-making
epoch"
Congressman Nelson A. Dingley, of
Maine, said: Il am sanguine that a.
treaty will mark a new epoch in the
relations between the two countries"
He also had kind words for the Cana
dams.
Senator Faulkner said: 1.-THE bonds
between the two countries are drawing
closer every day. 1 am not a prophet,
but I predict the complete success Of
the conference"
Il have never entertained a nassirnis-
tic view as to the outcome of the de-
Iberations," was the opinion of Gen.
