NO RECEPTION FOE
THE BOYS IN BLUE
ALAMEDA FAILS TO RECOGNIZE
HER SOLDIERS.
Red Cross Society Blames the Citi.
zens and the Citizens Blame the
Red Cross Society for
Neglect.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 2.-Alameda's soldier
boys have returned. The members of
Company G reached home this morning,
having been mustered out at Vancouver
last Monday. There is a tempest in a
teapot over their reception. or rather over
the lack of public demonstration when the
soldiers reached the city. When they en-
listed and marched away to Camp Bar
rett there were brass bands and tears,
patriotic speeches and bouquets.
The homecoming was different. Tho~e
was no music, no speeches-nothing to in
dictate to the boys that Alameda was
proud of them or glad that they had re-
turned.
Philosophical citizens blame the Red
Cross society for the treatment of the
soldiers. The Red Cross Charges the over
sight to the public-spirited citizens. Mon
day, when the boys were being mustered
out, the Red Cross people suggested Civ
ing the company a public reception. They
went so far as to outline programme.
Everybody in the city was willing and
anxious TO render ali the assistance pos
sible. They waited for the Red Cross to
come around and ask for what was want
ended its efforts when it suggested the re-
ception and concluded that the citizens
would do the rest
Now the soldiers are home and all the
city is indignant at the manner in which
they were received. Mrs. William II.
Baurhyte. who was prominently identified
with the Red Cross society, gave emphatic
expression this afternoon to her disgust
at the manner in which Alameda had
treated it's soldiers.
at is a shame and disgrace to this
city" said the lady, that these boys
should have been allowed to return with
out so much as the barking of yellow
dog to express our joy at their home
coming. They were deserving of a public
reception. When they enlisted they were
just as willing and anxious and as well
prepared to fight for their country as any
of Uncle Sans soldiers, and we should
riotism they displayed. The Red Cross
society could at least have taken the
management of the affair and there would
mad clear through oyer the matter, and
must admit that 1 am ashamed that I
ever had anything to do with the Red
Cross"

The Democratic Municipal convention
this evening was resolved into a vaude-
vile show, with President DR.. e. II.
,Wooisey as the star. The doctor was a;
MS best, and although the delegates were
almost. frozen by the temperature and
lack OF enthusiasm, he kept thcm laugh
ing by his witty references to the show.
he opened the proceedings with speech
IN which he said that the organ of the
party had referred to them as putty men.
1T devolves on you gentlemen" said
lne CHAIRMAN, to prove that you are not
made of putty. There is an anti-cartoon
phi IN the Legislature at this time, and ]
permitted to have a little fun with each
others faces-it is the spice of life But
there Is another bill-that one to shoot
malicious editors, and I am going to the
capitol to help pass it,"
The platform committee reported a very
concise document. 1t favored economical
CITY government, municipal water plant
gas and electric plants, street improve
mentS, the eight-hour law and lower
taxes.
When nominations were called for no
one was. ready to nominate, and after
GAZING the various offices several times
Tor Mayor. Captain Hackett seconded the
nomination, but forgot to name his man.
Day1e made a short speech. He said that
II elected ne would give the city the same
1t two years ago.
On The suggestion of H. c. McPike a
committee, consisting of H. c. McPike
J. j. White, P. q: Dalton, Alex Hirsh-
names of candidates for Councilmen at
large. When they reported the name OF
J; ii. Creegan was added, and this forced
the withdrawal of E. A. Hackett. Cree
A. FSbush nominated Captain John
Hackett for Auditor, but the captain
Withdrew. P. e. Dalton nominated Henry
Sohst for Treasurer, but Sohst withdrew.
Clarity, and some of the delegates said
he would decline, but English guaranteed
that Clarity would serve and his name
stood. w. B. White nominated R. M
Clement for City Engineer, and as there
was no opposition his name went on the
ticket.
Not one of the "Solid Six" has been abs
to secure a nomination at the hands OF

G. E. State Convention Committees
Make Good Progress.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
9OS Broadway, Feb. q
Organization is being rapidly perfected
for the State convention of the Christian
Endeavorers to be held in this city next
May. The '99 committee has received a
communication through Chairman Suhr
that Father T. E. Clark, president of
the United Society of Christian Endeav-
or, can be in California in May. The time
of holding the convention has, therefore.
been changed from June to some date in
the preceding month
A. NJ Bennam has reported that there
is no reason why the music should not
be as characteristic a feature of the Oak
land convention as It was of the great
international convention in San FRAN
cisco. William Nat Friend will have
charge of the registration, and he is also
charged with the duty of designing the
souvenir badge which will be given to
every delegate to the convention. q. c,
Lyon, F. A. Webster, r. B. GAYLORD and
A B. .Wastell, all report substantial pro-
jzation, and the committee has accented
with regret the resignation of Harry Hill
lard as chairman of the committee on
Special meetings.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call

SUo broadway, rep. q.
The Populist City Central Committee
has decided to hold convention and NOM
mate a municipal ticket on which shall
be the names of none but straight Pop
ulists. No fusionists, Democrats or Re-
publicans seeking nominations or indorse-
ments need apply.
The committee having in charge the
duty of calling a convention consists of AL
Barkman, president; G. Hitchcock, secre-
tary; DR.. Hesse, treasurer; James Hen
messy, F. Hale of the First Ward, A.
Hoernisch and S. Nichols Of Second Ward,
DR.. Hesse and c. Hitchcock of the Third
Ward w. Baker of the Fourth Ward, J..
Bliss of the Fifth Ward, ]. Taylor of the
Sixth Ward James Van Buskirk of the
Seventh Ward.
After canvassing the situation the COM
mittee has decided that fusion is a fall
ure and that the only hope of Populism
lies in the preservation of its integrity
and of it's fundamental principles.
Next Monday evening the convention
will be held, which will consist of 105 del
egates. Each ward is entitled to a rep
.vention, and they will be elected at pri-
maries conducted by the club in each Of
the seven wards.
1t is probable that enough Populists
may not be found to desire the honors of
nomination, and in that event the places
will be left blank, and it is said they will
not be filled even by the central commit
tee, as is usual in such cases. The effects
of fusion in this city for the past four
years have been to decimate the Populist
party. Four years ago it was strong
enough to elect a Mayor and several
county officials. Two years ago it polled
a fair vote, but elected nobody. Now
many of it's old-time leaders declare their
business interests make it imperative that
they waste no time on politics and of
those who were fortunate enough to be
elected to Office under Populist auspices
none are now to be seen in the councils

ROBBED A BAKERY.
The Residence of II. Beckmann on
Dolores Street Visited by Thieves.

The residence of H. Beckmann at 9O4 Do
lores street was entered last Wednesday
night by burglars. The thieves gained
admission to the premises by a rear door
in which they forced the lock by the aid
of a jimmy. The thieves went direct to
the room of Mrs. Beckmann and ran
sacked the bureau drawers. They were
rewarded by finding purse containing
$40 and some jewelry, which was lying
under some clothing. Satisfied with their
plumber they made good their escape in
the same manner as they had entered.
Beckmann, who conducts a bakery on
the premises, was at work in the bake
room on the lower floor at the time the
thieves were making their unwelcome
visit in the upper portion of the house
1t has been the custom of the bakery to
leave light burning in the lower hall
during the nighttime. This, probably,
was known to the visitors, as was also
the fact that there was money in the
house and it's location, as they did not
make a general search for other valua-
bles, but were content with the money.
The theft was reported to the detective
department

ALAMEDA, Feb. Mrs. Richard Brad
ley of 1896 Santa Clara avenue, wife of the
captain of the ferry-boat Newark, is con-
graduating herself that there is at least
one strictly honest Chinaman on earth.
The fact of his existence has saved her
the loss of $3.50. Yesterday morning she
lost a purse on the ferry containing a
$3.50 and $50 in coin. She was overioyed
this morning to receive word that the
purse, was at the Oakland police station.
It had been left there by Chinaman and
that was in it. The Chinaman told the
police that he had picked up the purse on
seat by the railing of the boat.
