WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Secretary
Hitchcock, in speaking of campaign
contributions, tonight said:
II have all along been opposed to Sc

of passing a law compelling full pub

FUSION CANDIDATES NAMED
Democratic Convention in San Franz

Republican Endorsement
~ ASSOCIATED Press.

by ASSOClaCeu fTeS5
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-Demo-
Gratis in convention tonight nominated
for municipal office a number of can
didates who will also be nominated by
the Republicans, according to the fus-
ion program that has been agreed on.
AS had been commonly rumored, L.
j. Byington, the incumbent district at
torney, was turned down and Supervis-
or Henry Brandenstein nominated for
the Office in his stead.
A rather lively controversy occurred
over a resolution providing that a
plank be introduced in the platform
instructing the supervisors to secure
control Of the Tuolumne river water
supply for municipal purposes. II was
defeated. While the platform will favor
a new water supply for the city. it will
leave the supervisors free to select the
source.
Another plank in the platform will
favor the construction of a modern cleo
tric railway on Geary street, to be
owned and operated by the city.
The Democrats did not concur to-
night in the nomination of John S.
Partridge, named by the Republicans
for mayor, postponing their action un-
til next Thursday night.

ST. PETERSBURG, ;, Sept. ga tele-
gram received from Baku says that
since the departure of the viceroy,
Count Won Vorontzoff- -Daskhoff, the
state of mind of the inhabitants has
changed for the worse. On Sunday the
police raided an illegal meeting and
ARRESTED a number of persons, includ-
ing some women. A fifth of the popu-
lation has left the town or been sent
away and the exodus continues.
Reinforcements totaling 1000 and in
cluding three batteries of artillery have
reached this city. The governor has
issued an order forbidding the troops
under any circumstances, to fire on
houses occupied by foreign consuls.
Should, however, shots be fired from
these buildings at the troops the land
lords will be heavily fined.
The proprietors of the naphtha wells
and refineries have been ordered, under
pain of arrest, to pay all the arrears OF
wages due to their employees.

TOURING CARS DISQUALIFIED
Automobile Commission Throws Out
Machines Which Were to Race
for Cup
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Three auto
mobiles which finished last in Satur-
days elimination trials for the Amer
lean team to compete for the Wander
bilt cup were thrown out yesterday by
the commission in charge of the Amer
lean racers. The cars were declared
at the close of Saturdays trials to
have qualified, but the commission de-
cided to substitute machines of higher
power and named three others to make
up the team representing this country.
The cars thrown out were a 4O-horse-
power owned by N. D. Sherman, which
finished third; the 50-horsepower be-
longing to Elwood Haynes, which came
in fourth, and the 60-horsepower owned
by II. S. Houpt, which finished fifth.
The cars substituted in their places
were the 120-horsepower of James L.
Breese. 90-horsepower owned by Col
A. A. Pope and 4O-horsepower owned
by r. H. White.
The committee announced that this
somewhat drastic action was taken to
strengthen the American team by sub
stituting for the touring cars racing
machines of higher horsepower.
The decision caused much dissats-
faction and ill-feeling among the
owners of the machines thrown out.

at Baku are reaching their relatives
In England. Williams, one of four
Englishmen rescued from a mob at
Balakhan, writes that the stories of the
horrors give but feeble idea of the act
ual occurrences. He adds:
II was shut up in my place at "a
bratt for five days without any water
except naizan Qocal mineral water).
All the people here were crying and
fainting. All around were fires and
rifle shots. Ten Armenians were killed
out of those in our own yard. You
could not walk yard without several
shots being fired at you. We tried to
save the wounded but the shooting was
too general and we had to give up the
attempt"
Edward McCallum, another rescued
British subject, fully confirms the
stories of massacres, burning and pill
lage. After describing the commence
ment of the outbreak on Sept. 9, when
the Armenians massacred 300 Tartars,
he describes how, during the night of
Sept. g. Tartars enetred the workmen's
barracks at Romani and massacred
everybody in them within an hour.
Five hundred Tartars surrounded the
works where McCallum was stationed
and forced him to give up the Armen-
ians hiding on the premises. -Four
teen of these were butchered in our
yard with fiendish brutality" he says.

out. The band sacked the neighbor-
hood in the most systematic manner.
They had carts ready to take away
their plumber to the Tartar villages.
Fifty Cossacks with a police chief
arrived on the scene, but did not do
anything but look ON at the work of
massacre. The whole time we were be-
sieged we lived on condemned salt

Out of His Element

He was evidently doing the honors OF
the city for the country cousin that
accompanied him, and naturally the
most interesting place on their sight
seeing tour was the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. The city man had
made superficial study of the museum
catalogue, and impressed that import
ant fact on his guest at every turn OF
the spacious passages.
"Reuben, this is the mummy of
Rameses III of the twelfth Egyptian
dynasty, while here are some relics
from the Theban temples of Karnak
and Luxor. Here, my boy, is an an
cient Roman chariot, like they use in
the old country circuses UP Pohick
way"
The countryman was decidedly out of
his element, and reflected with some
bitterness that his glib guide, on visit
to the farm during the summer, didn't
know shucks about even milking COW.
1t was evident that he rather resented
his cicerone's glib knowledge of every
thing; but he bided his time.
See that bunch of old Egyptian
coins over there, Reub?" asked the
urbanite. well, every one of those
coins is over three thousand years old"
Quit yer kiddin'," retorted the silent
countryman. why it's only 1905 now!"

gard to costs. Collins, who agreed to

amount claimed will total $720 before
the case Is retired on November 1 and
the bill is sent to Frank Higgins, repre-

the sheriff holds responsible for his
costs.
Mr.. Higgins says the state of Cali
fornia is willing to pay for Collins
detention in a common Jail, but not
for private guards. If Collins wishes
luxuries he must pay for such himself.
All the state of California will do is to

SALOON LOOTED
BY H|GHWAYMEN
A GoLDFIELD RESORT YIELDS
RICH BOOTY
Hold-Up Men Terrify Inmates, Clear
the Roulette Table, Stand Drinks
and Walk OFF With Nearly
One Thousand Dollars
By Associated Press.

by Associated HTeSS.
GOLDFIELD, Sept. 26.-The inmates
of saloon belonging to Jake Good
friend and w. N. Briggs, located on the
main street of this town, were held uT
by two men early this morning and the
place robbed of nearly $1,000. The high
waymen, who were masked, then
treated the crowd and made good their
escape during the confusion which en-
sued.
There were eight men in the saloon,
drinking and playing roulette, when
short man, masked with a red hand
kerchief, entered. Stepping up behind
the man at the bar, he leveled a re-
volver over his shoulder at the bar
tender. Elsie Ross, and commanded him
and all in the room to throw up their
hands.
All thought it joke, but the first
man was quickly followed by another
and still shorter man, who backed UP
the command of "hands up" The eight
men were lined up against the back of
the barroom and the two hold-ups
walked to the roulette wheel where they
laid their pistols upon the table, the
taller busily spinning the ball, while
the other swept the money into grip.
They then forced the wheel dealer TO
unlock a drawer of gold, and the
shorter man emptied the two cash
registers, getting altogether s945.
Just then a man entered the saloon,
and the shorter of the two highwaymen,
who was as nervous as the other was
cool, backed into the street at the point
of his pistol, and disappeared. Even
then the other man was not dismayed.
He laughed, and throwing $3.50 on the
bar, ordered all up to take drink.
The thoroughly cowed men obeyed. The
robber sat at the end of the bar while
one man gave him a whisky bottle
and another handed him a glass. He
drank this just as two more men en-
tered from the outside. These men
were asked to have drink and, laugh
ing, the robber disappeared through
side door fully five minutes after the
first man had left.
The larger of the two men weighed
not more than $50 pounds and the
smaller about $50 pounds. Not one of
the men in the place was robbed.
A posse has searched for the robbers,
but no clew to their identity has been
found.
