Announcement was mare in San
Francisco on May Is that, possibly, the
name of the Occidental and Oriental
Steamship Company will soon disap-
pear from shipping on the Pacific. The
Occidental and Oriental Steamship
Company has been in process of liqui-
dation for nearly year, and if it does
go out of existence it will mean that
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
will take over its business and the two
steamships which it is now operating,
SO that sailings out of San Francisco
will in no-wise be affected.
For years past since both companies
are owned by the same interests, there
has been no real competition Both
companies are controlled jointly by
the Southern Pacific and the Union Pa
cific Railroad Companies. The Pacific
Mail owns its own vessels but the Occi-
dental and Oriental has always operat-
ed it's ships under leases, the Gaelic,
the Coptic and the Doric being the
three ships which it had on the run
to China for many years.

y The Bryan idea is not unanimous
N this. section of the state by any
means. Even strenuous Efforts on
the part of the Bryan club recently
Stganizedi here and its injection of
the candidacy of local man for dele
gate have fallen on the luke-warm
without visible effect. Its incrim-
nations against men in the party
WHO assert independence of thinking
has not had the desired effect, as they
stand out as boldly as ever rebelling
against the Bryan movement.
Signal is the failure of the plan Of
saaying a local candidate for delegate
to the ibehser convention. 1t did
not provoke the enthusiasm that was
expected and the club is at loss to
know what next to do to drive the re-
calcItrants Into line. The party fash
is busy but cracks without mastery.
