No Mistake About the Discovery Of the
Burial Place of Cleopatra.
The tombs are intact. and no doubt
As the excavations proceed the tombs Of
sll the Prolemies will be brought TO
light. There is no doubt about the
matter, as the names Of the occupants
are over the doors. The doors are Of
bronze and covered with Greek inscri,l
tons. Here and there the bronze has
corroded. SO that with the aid of a mag.
nesium light they could see the marble
earcophagi and lots Of other thi~,s in
the rooms. Some Of the vaults seem 70
be full Of rolls and parchments. bu, this
is mere guesswork on the part OF the
observers. AL will be cleared up when

IN THE CORRIDORS.

The row in the southwest combi
nation is undoubtedly the most
serious one OF the convention. The
.caucut last night was heated and
prolonged. The minority favored
the presentation OF a congressional
candidate from that portion OF the
state and became indignant be-
cause the majority refused to stand
with them, and one spokesman de-
'clared, 1T is now 4 question with
me and my friends whether or not
We will vote the fusion ticket"
Efforts 10 conciliate them have so
far proved futile. although large
doses OF harmony have been admin
!stered to them during the day.
The speech OF Temporary Chair
man Blake has caused widespread
disgust, both from its narrow scope
and its making the convention APP
pear anti Wilson in temper. Mr..
Blake made L failure. He spoke
from manuscript, seemingly care
FULLY prepared. He made no refer
ence 10 the national administration
no reference to republican senators
Or representatives, no reference 10
TO the war. nor 10 the boosted pros
yerity OF the republican admins
tration. His speech was simply an
attack on the fusion administration
OF Washington with no attempt At
details and not single definite
statement OF fact. On all sides the
speech is being roundly condemned.
There has been, during the last
twenty-iour hours a studied effort
AZ harmony, but beneath the sur
/ face there is more discord than ever
existed in state convention before.

Swept its dreamy, tender rune:

Weary of Life.

George H. Sandy, printer, about "A years of age, living in the Cotton House at 220 Third street committed suicide in his room at an early hour yesterday morning.
 He left number of papers, telling the story of his struggles for a livelihood after hand composition was displaced by the type-setting machine. He worked for many years on the various daily news papers and was recently employed at Crocker's. In one of the papers he says: Constrained, checked, blocked in every effort to earn my living honestly, have endured insults, sneers, humiliation, hum ger, contempt and poverty until life has lost It's charm and now is unen- durable. Therefore, seeing no way but one to free myself from this unjust bur- den of wrongs which has been heaped upon me by soulless men, I avail myself of that and so end all my troubles here, and as I believe, hereafter"
 He had three trunks in his room. which he leaves to William M. Hinton one of his former employers, with the explanation that their contents will be of more value to him than any one else The body will be buried by the local Typographical Union.

TRACEY COMES TO
 BOX MCCONNELL
The Australian Welter-W Weight Will Train at Sausalito for the
 Forthcoming Battle

Tommy Tracey, who is matched to box Frank Mcconnell in the gymnasium of the Olympic Club on August 2, arrived on last nights overland. He was met across the bay by Al Smith, who is in charge of his business interests, and by other sport ing men.
 This is not Tracey's first visit to the coast. He arrived here in December, 1892, from Australia. where he was born, and was accompanied by his foster-brother Dan Creedon. He soon found something for his hands to do, being matched against Billy Gallagher, whom he de- feated. He returned again in October, 1896 meeting George Green, who secured the decision in a ten-round bout.
 He Is a more aggressive fighter than McKeever. and is expected to give Me Connell, the hard-hitting San Franciscan, the warmest kind of an argument when they meet. Tracey will train at Sausa- Tito, under the watchful eyes of Teddy Alexander. He will take up his quarters across the bay on Monday, and will have three weeks in which to prepare for the meeting
 Mcconnell has hardly gone out of train ing since his recent fight. He will con- tinue his practice at the San Francisco Club rooms next week, and will then put the finishing touches on his preparation at Blanken's Six-Mile House. He will have the benefit of Alex Greggains' ad- vice and handling, and expects to enter the ring fit to fight for Kingdom.
