FAIR DELEGATES
READY FOR WAR
Native Daughters Expect
Lively Battle for
Honors Today.
Much Opposition to the
Alleged Slate Is
Aroused.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SALINAS, June 14-Today was
busy day with the Grand Parlor From
early morning until late tonight the
hearing of reports and the adoption of
measures kept the delegates busy. Pol
itics. which is always the all-absorbing
topic at this stage of the Grand eParlor
proceedings, was postponed until to-
morrow, and all the delegates paid
strict attention to the business part OF
the session.
The morning session commenced at
$50 and was by far the most interest
ing session of the week. Among the
measures passed were several amend
ments to the constitution. One amend
ment changes the meeting of the Grand
Parlcr from the month of June TO July.
MANY minor changes We're also made.
An amendment to make only past pres
idents eligible as delegates to the Grand
ParIor was rejected after considerable
discussion.
During the afternoon the selection OF
the meeting place for next year was
the special order of business While a
large majority of the delegates appear
to favor Los Angeles, a strong opposi-
ton developed among the parlors in
towns some distance from the southern
METROPOLIS The objection was made on
the score of expense.
The Grand Parlor settled the affairs
of Alta Parlor Of San Francisco. which
have been source of much worry TO
the Grand Parlor. The delegates de-
cided that the appeal of Past Grand
President Eliza D. Keith was beyond
the jurisdiction of the Grand Parlcr.
Tomorrow will be a day of politics
in the Grand Parlor Nominations are
TO be made, and it is expected that the
standing opposition to the slate will ef-
fectually manifest itself. An effort will
he made to finish the work of the Grand
Parlor tomorrow, SO that the delegates
may participate in the excursion TO
Monterey and Pacific Grove on Satur-
day. In that event the installation or
officers will be held Saturday evening
Tomorrow night grand pubic con
cert will be held in Main street Inc
streets will be illuminated ana extern
sively decorated for the occasion.

Also. that while many details of q

ton to the effect that the disaster was
caused by an internal machine, bu:
later il was said that K was apparently
caused by the explosion of a barrel OF
naphtha.
The report that the explosion on the
Haverford was due to an Internal ma
chine arose from the finding of a wood

steel machinery. 1t was prominently
marked For Manchester. England"
Outwardly little harm has been done
to the vessel beyond rents in the deck,
but inside the damage is extensive,
both by the explosion and the fire.

Line, after making an examination OF
the holds, accompanied by en- analytical
chemist. said that at present it was
Impossible TO state definitely the cause

TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL:
Elected BY Board of Education Last
Night.

The city board of education held its
annual meeting last night-perhaps
the most important of the year in that
the election of teachers for all the
schools of the city takes place at this
time, and is of great interest.
President UrIah B. Harold presided,
and every member of the board re-
rponded to the roll call.
In the election of officers of the board
President Harold was again chosen
for that position, Mr.. G. W. Glover
was chosen president, while Mr..
W. E. Brown was chosen treasurer.
The board decided to relieve the 81. .
perintendent from the duty of teaching
in fu'nrc, and to employ an additional
male teacher at "a salary of s., 900, whose
duty it will be to teach the classes hith-
erto taught by Supt. Miller.
Prof. A. G. Miller was unanimously
reelected to the position of superinten-
dent of the public schools.
Upon motion, the secretary was IN
strncted to cast the vote of the board
for the fifteen lady teachers in Furlow
and Rees Park schools. Prof. + A.
Duncan was elecefd principal f the
high school by unanimous v0,e.
There being a v~c4tcy in the b,
grade, Furlow school, occasloned by
the resign alton OF Miss B4gley, Miss
Flossie Dunn was elected thereto,
While Miss Clara Hal was elected
supeTEumeralY
This disposed of the election of
teachers in the white schools, and the
election of colored teachers then fol-
lowed. The secretary was again re-
quested to cast the ballot of the entire
board for all teachers who thus desired
re election.
This resulted in the reelection of a,
s. Staley as principal of Mckay Hill
school, together with all the teachers
in the rcolored schools.
The election of the new male teacher
for the 9 b, grade will take place later,
| there being no applicants for this
newly created position. The salaries
of all teachers, both N the white and
colored schools, remains the same as
heretofore.
The session of the board was short
and most harmonious throughout,

reports that there Is an increase in ell
branches of the fruit trade. The report
is quite complete and covers ell Of the
different orchards of their lines, which
lines esrry off most of the fruit raised
in the state. The report, which has been
gotten up by the Central Railroad, is q
very fine one, and it will doubtless be
read with much interest by the fruit
growers.
