ENGINEERS BOUND
FOR THE ISTHMUS
Reported Drowning Of a Party at
Machuca Is Discredited in
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Another party
of engineers will leave the United States
on Monday next to engage in surveys be-
ing made under the direction of the 18th
nlian Canal Commission. This party,
which will 20 to the Isthmus Of Darien,
will be in charge of James r. Maxwell
II will consist Of fifteen men and viii sail
from Norfolk on the Scorpion, which has
been ordered by the Navy Department to
carry Mr.. Maxwell and his assistants to
the isthmus No Information has been re-
Celved by the commission Of the reported
drowning Of an engineer and some Of his
men at Machuca.
Rear Admiral Walker said to-day that
he was inclined to believe that the dis
patches announcing the drowning Of these
men We're mistakes. He said 1t was evil
dent that the dispatch had been based on
doubtful information, as the name of the
engineer had first been given as Clark,
and the second dispatch had said the
name was White. The admiral said that
as far as known here there was no man
named White in the party at MachuCa.
He felt confident that If any lives had
been lost, Mr.. Stewart, in charge Of the
engineers in that section, would have tele-
Rraphed at once.
No decision has yet been reached as to
the date Of the departure Of the Canal
Commission for the isthmus. Admiral
Walker said to-day 1t was desired to have
the work Of th7 field parties as far ad-
vanced as possible before the commission
went down, so that II would not be neces-
sary for them to remain long.

POLITICAL.

NOM PARTISAN
PARTY.
FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.

To the Voters of San Francisco: The Non
to wrest from professional politicians the con-
troll of municipal affairs and TO separate en-
tirely from national politics the selection of
city and county officials
1t has at all times opposed machine politics,
and sought to elect worthy men to office by IN
dependent nomination Endorsement
The last Legislature passed q law expressly
aimed at the "unwelcome Interference in
public affairs of non-partisan organizations.
The Richard act forbids any information on the
ballot concerning the Endorsements that can
didate may receive and makes 1t impossible for
a man TO be nominated by two parties. Such
a creditable occurrence as the nomination last
year by the two great parties of John Lack
mann for Supervisor could not be repeated.
We regard this law pernictous in principle
and against public policy, and We intend to
vigorously contest II.
The adoption of non partisan charter. the
result of the last primary election, and the in
dependent character Of the recent Republican
and Democratic conventions, clearly indicate,
however that the friends OF good government
have awakened TO their duties.
With these changed conditions feel that
there is no occasion for a entire on-Partisan
ticket at this election.
1t is. however. a fundamental principle of
this party TO support those nominees who have
faithfully and fearessly filled their offices and
are renominated for the same office We would
fall in our obligations were TO leave this
work undone
We therefore unqualfiedly recommend for
your suffrage at the coming election:
