 CALIFORNIA CONVENTION
It Was Also An UpbuIidins of the
 Political Fortunes of Leader Bell.

Fresno, May 19.-The democratic state convention finished it's labors to- day after electing four delegates at large and four alternates and this af- ternoon adjourned shortly before six o'clock.
 Ex- Congressman Theodore A. Bell and Nathan A. Bell Jr., of Los An geles, and Robert M. Fitzgerald of Oakland and Judge William M. Con ley of Madeira, were elected delegates lat large. Bells election would have been unanimous had he not thrown the vote of the Napa delegation to Judge West of aSn Bernardino, the fifth candidate.
 The convention was overwhelmingly for Wm. J. Bryan and without a dis senting voice adopted a platform in structing the California delegation to vote for the nomination of the Ne braskan. By resolution the convention also endorsed Bell for temporary chairman of the national convention lat Denver. It was the sense of the convention that Bell should be a can didate to succeed Senator George c. Perkins. Practically a re-affirmation of the principles of the Nebraska state platform was unanimously adopted.

 Was Locked Up For the Night.

San Francisco, May 19.-The case of Ruef, charged with bribery went to the jury at 9:30 tonigh, after a day devot- ed to closing arguments and instruc- tions.
 At a late hour the jurors. were still deliberating without an apparent prospect of a decision tonight.
 Attorney Chapman, for Ruef devot- ed the great part of his time to criticism of Rudolph Spreckels and Heney. claiming that the prosecution of Ruef was a personal one.
 In closing, Heney admitted that Su- pervisor Coleman had endeavored to change his testimoy and favor Ruef at the trial, and he intimated that the prosecution was not through with Coleman.

subonIc Plague.

San Francisco is dealing in the right
way with the present outbreak of the
bubonic plague. Five years ago, when
cases Of this terrible disease occurred
in San Francisco, there was, for time
at least, a disposition to conceal and
minimize the epidemic; but experience
soon showed, as has been proven en-
phatically in yellow fever visitations,
In the south, that the way to fight dis
ease is to fight it openly. and that the
way to avoid panic is to publish hon
est and complete reports, says the
Outlook. DR.. Rupert Blue, Of the
United States public health service,
is in charge Of the present fight with
the plague, and is vigorously enforcing
modern, scientific methods. While the
ratio of deaths to cases is absolutely
large, It is less than has been noted
in epidemics elsewhere, and the sys-
tenn of serum injection is regarded as
OF value. The terrible mortality usu-
ally attendant upon bubonic plague is
offset in some measure by the fact
that its spread is slow 1t is believed
that infection is largely caused by
rats. and that from them it is spread
in many cases by fieas. which carry
the germs of the disease. Every effort
is being made to extirpate the plague
