Some OF the former governors friends
say that he knew nothing of any conspir-
acy to assassinate Goebel. and that his
evidence, should it be given in the Powers
trial. would be Of a negative rather than
OF a positive character. and therefore not
OF material benefit to the defendant. They
say Taylor believes implicitly in Powers
innocence, but that he could not assist
him by being a witness. and he viii not

FOR FUSION
IN FRISCO
The Republican County Con-
ventiOn Makes Declaration
The Party Represented by
Ryan the Reform Leader
is for LangdOn.

San Francisco. Sept. 1.-THE repub-
lican county convention tonight de-
clared itself in favor of a fusion NOM
ination for mayor and district attorney
by empowering the chair TO appoint a
committee Of five to confer with the
democratic and union labor conven-
tions, the latter of which is to be held
on the 18th inst. The date of holding
the democratic convention has not
been fixed.
The feature of the convention was
the absolute control of 1t by d. A.
Ryan, who at the primaries led the So
called reform element to victory. Ryan
spoke in support of the reason for the
appointment of a committee OF five
against an amendment which IL adopt
ed would have placed the republican
party in the position of waiting for a
fusion decision by the other two par
ties.
The unconfirmed program was that
District Attorney Langdon shall be re-
nominated and Ryan would be nom
mated for mayor. Ryan himself smash
ed this slate by declaring against
the elevation OF man above his
party"
The committee is instructed to con-
fer with the democratic and union
labor conventions on September %.
After the adjournment Ryan said: Il
am absolutely and unqualifiedly for
the denomination of Langdon. l do
not wish my own name to figure in
the mayoralty nomination. This Is a
time when the man should be subor-
dinated to principle"

today arrested a young girl, nicknamed
wanda" who is accused Of participate
ing in a plot to blOwy up the head
quarters of the secret police. situated
on the Moika canal. whose torture
chambers have aroused a bitter feeling
ON the part of the revolutionists.
The police claim that Wanda"
planned to become a walking bomb;
enter the headquarters of the building
in the middle of the day when il is
generally full of police. wearing the
uniform of a gendarme officer lined
with walls of gun cotton and carrying
powerful bombs.
Wanda" the police add, hoped by
blowing herself up. to reduce the en-
tire building to ruins and kill all the
officers composing the staff of polit-
ical police. The plot was betrayed to
the police who in addition to taking
Wanda" into custody. arrested a Jew
ish tailor in whose shop they seized the
half ready uniform which was intend
ed for the woman.
In consequence OF the murderous de-
signs OF the revolutionists. the secret
police decided to give up their present
quarters. removing TO an isolated stone
building on Kamenny Island where an
elaborate electric signal system Is to
be installed in order to prevent under

politics without the approval of Pres
