the Republican state convention which
meets here Wednesday. The charge
against Governor Hoch that lie tried
to kiss the wife of former Governor
Stanley, when she, one of the board Of

to his Office on state business has split
the delegates into two camps.
Those who were inclined to oppose
the governors hopes for a renomina.

PHELAN PRESENTS A SCHEME
City Bonds Endorsed by the United
States Government,

City Bonds Endorsed by the United
States Government.
AT meeting at which We're present
James ID. Phelan, chairman of the
finance committee, and some noted
lawyers and bankers, plan was
broached for financing the city which
it is hoped will meet with the indorse-
ment of the general committee. 1t be-
ing estimated that the city has suf-
fered a loss Of at least $20O0OO.0OO by
fire it is conceded that there is not SUI
ficient money in San Francisco to re-
construct the city, and that the people
here must look elsewhere for funds to
rehabilitate their destroyed fortunes.
Phelan said that il the money is bor-
rowed through ordinary channels the
rate of interest will add burden to
necessarily increased taxation that
will be too heavy.
The plan of Phclan is to frame Leg
lslation to present to congress asking
the United States to indorse the pro-
posed bonds of San Francisco. With
this guarantee of the government the
city will be able to go into the financial
markets of the world and borrow the
needed money ut or 21s per cent,
the bonds to run for fifty years and
constitute a mortgage on the best por-
ton of the city. Phelan asserted that
such legislation would not be new Ill
congress. 1t was by virtually such
measures that the Central Pacific and
the Union Pacific railroads were built.
and more recently by like legislation
that railways the Philippines be-
came assured to the people of the isl
andS.
The city officials were highly clatcd
upon finding the contents of the mum.
cipal treasury intact. The vaults were
located in Il section of the city hall that
escaped the fire, and when IN expert
opened the doors he found gold, silver
and securities scattered over the floor,
but there was nothing missing. The
vaults contained S5.SOO.00O in coin and
currency: 100000 in securities of the
German Savings bank. and $12OGO,-
0C0 of unsold city bonds. The opening
OF the vaults by banking institutions
is now awaited with great interest; but
