SAN FRANCISCO, January 27.—The twenty-second annual conyention of the Raliway Mail Service Benevolent Associa- tion be held in this city during the week of March 15. The holding of a con- vention in San Francisco has been a pro- ject long cherished by the clerks in this division of the service, but the great dis- tance to be traversed by the delegates from the eastern states has hitherto been an in- surmountable obstacle. For over a year preparations for this convention have been made by the officers and clerks of the pos- tal service in this city and throughout the Pacitic division of the railway mail service. The delegates and their wives, numbering in all abcut 300, will leave Chicago in a special train over the Burlington route, and will reach San Francisco via Billings, Mont.; Spokane and Portland, stopping one day in the last named city. ‘They will arrive in San Francisco March 15, remaining here five days, and will then go to Los Angetes for two days, departing homewerd via the Santa Fe route. The special train, consisting of eight Pullmars, will be piloted over the greater part of its journey by Capt. L. L. Troy, superintendent of the Chicago division rail- way mail service. When it passes into the Pacific division at Spokane it will be met by Superintendent Funt, who will remain with ft until it leaves his territory again at Albuquerque, N.M. The entertainment in this city will be a bay excursion trip to Monterey and the Santa Cruz Big Trees, a day at the Cliff House and Golden Gate Park and an excursion to Haywards. The evening entertainments will consst of ban- quets, theater parties and tours of the Chi- nese quarters. At Sacramento the delegates will partake of a breakfast provided by the citizens, after which they will be escorted to the capitol building and received by Gov. Budd. At Los Angeles a trip will be arranged either to Mount Lowe or Catalina Island. No Representations by England.
