The San Francisco Bulletin says that q
gentleman who has Just returned from
business trip through the southern counties
in the course Of which he made many in
quiries as to the progress of political
events, said that the friends of Davis of
Alameda are making a determined effort
to capture a portion Of the Los Angeles
delegation and that Mr.. Davis fight in this
county is in the hands of Leon F. Moss
and Walter Bacon, who are making good
use of the argument that to nominate q
southern man would be to deprive the
south of the United States senator to be
selected at the next session of the legisla-
ture. The Bulletin further quotes this gen.
tleman as saying that Mr.. Davis expects
one-third of the Los Angeles delegation to
rally to his support.

AMBASSADOR WHITE NOT
 TREATED DiScOURTE0USLY.
Reports Concerning His Reception by En- peror William Que 10 the Publication
 of Beiated Court Circular.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Embassador White cabled the following to the Secre- tary of State:
 "The statement in the morning papers that Mrs. White and myself have been treated discourteously Is absolutely and entirely without foundation. The Em5 peror and all others have been most kind to us. I have never needed to call the attention of any person to any slight whatever. The notice regarding my re- ception was identical with that always issued after the presentation of an Elm bassador from any great power to the Emperor"
 The cablegram has reference to pub lished reports that Ambassador and Mrs. White had been ignored and not given the attention and courtesy due his rank by high officials of the German court, and that it had been necessary to admonish the offending officials by a notice in the court circular of Germany. It appears from the cablegrams that the court circulars notice which gave rise to the published report is simply a belated no- tice, such as is always issued after a pre- sentation of an Embasador to the Elm DerOr.

THE JUNGLE T0M'S CABIN"
 OF THE SILVER PARTY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. H.-Demoeratic free silver leaders have resolved upon an experiment in political campaign work. Under the influence of Senator Jones. Representative McMillin. Chauncey F. Black, Representatives Slayden, Simp- kns and others, a company of Washing ton and Virginia politicians and business men have incorporated under the name of the American Drama Company.
 Among the directors are Lawrence Gardner secretary of the Congressional committed: Marshall W. Wines. Robert F. Mattingly and Major E. W. Anderson, of this city. The first play to be produced is ''rhe Curse of Gold" which. the free silverites claim, is another Uncle Tom s Cabin and from it they ardently expect the greatest results. Senator Stewart pre- diets great success for it. and Senator AL len thinks it will be received by the West and South enthusiastically. Samuel Com pers, president, and Frank Morrison, sec retary of the American Federation of La bor are advocates of it, and Knights of Labor Assembly No 66 owns stock in the corporation. It will be put on the road very soon.

OWE ES FOUND GUILTY;
 THE OTHER AcQUiTTED.
Chris Merry Convicted Of Wfe-Murder and His Accomplice Temporarily
 Cleared.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-In the case of Chris Merry, the peddler charged with wife murder, the jury to-day returned a yer dict of guilty. Smith. his alleged accom- plice, was found not guilty. The jury was out all night.
 When the verdict was read Smith jumped to his feet and shouted for joy. but Judge Horton sternly commanded him to sit down.
 Bring me a warrant" said the judge. "I want this man rearrested as an access sorry to the murder after the fact, and want him indicted by the Grand Jury to- day"
 This had the effect of cooling Smith s spirits, but he soon recovered and looked with pity on his fellow prisoner.
 Chris, old boy, I'm sorry for you" he said as he held out his hand to Merry. "Cheer up. Maybe things won't be so bad after all. Congratulate me, anyway, on my end of it.
 But Merry was in a daZe, and though holding out his hand remained silent.
 Merry was found guilty on the first bal lot. In Smiths case the ballot stood six for conviction and six against until to- day Then, with the understanding, it is thought, that there would be no legal diff faculties in the way of Smiths rearrest and indictment as an accessory after the fact it was agreed to return a verdict of not guilty as charged.
