With the end of securing the co-operation of his peers 1n other towns, and in order to obtain from his near neizhbors, the may- ors of Oakland, Sacramento and Stockton, an expression of their views on the matter, his Honor invited those officials to a con- ference with him in the City Hall.

It will be stated in the invitations that the object of the con- vention will be to secure an expres- sion of opinion in reference to the funding bill from the best exponents of popular thought in each section of the State.

FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN Annual Meeting of the Ladies’ Protec- tion and Relief So- clety. The annual meeting of the Ladies’ Pro- tection and Relief Society was held yester- day afternoon, Mrs. George Barstow, the president, being in tke chair.

Rezarding the issuance of bonds or mortgages by the company, section 12 makes this explicit statement: pot issue bonds or mortages, and shall uot in dorse or guarantee the paper, contract or obl gation of any person, persoms or corporation whatsoever; and no contract shall be entered into or purchase made by said company, except for purposes provided £or in this act. Section 13 provides that all sums ex- pended in the purchase of material and supplies for the canal shall be confined to the United States, except for such material as may be grown or produced in Nicar- agua or Costa Rica; and no Asiatic labor shall be used or employed in the work. According to section 14 no dividends shall be declared by the company, excent from net earnings of the canal, out of which one-half shall be paid to the United States until the United States bonds appro- priated under this act shall have been re- paid with interest. Thereafter the net proceeds shall be divided among stock- holders of the company.

Mayor Boggs of Stockton sent & telegram assuring Mr. Sutro of his hearty co-operation in the work of endeavoring to prevent the bill from passing, and Mayor Hubbard of Sac- ramento also sent word to the same effect, both gentlemen permitting their names to be used as Mr. Sutro might judge proper | and expedient in the matter. While waiting for Mayor Davie to | make his appearance, Mr. Surro paced up | ana down his office at the City Hall, giv- | ing his views quite freely and at some | length. “‘Now’s our time to fix the octopus,” he | exclaimed enthusiastically. *'If this bill | can only be prevented from vpassing both | houses the railway will be lookinz six ways | for Sunday. may prove fruitiess.

How many of them | are there to be? Ishould say two would be enough for the interior towns, San Francisco and Oakiand would, of course, require a larger pumber,” “Inmy ovinion,” rejoined Mayor Su- tro, “thé number of delegates shoula by in proportion to the population of the ces which they may represent. I think hould be one delegate to each 5000 of the population.” | “But how about towns with,less than | 5000 inbabitants?” queried Mayor Davie. “I suppose the best plan would be to have one delecate from cach town having | from 1000 to 5000 inkabitants. In the case | of lareer cities lel there be one additional | delegate for each 5000 of the Pupulalion"’ | *“That seems reasonable,”” remarked | Mayor Davie, “and in order to prevent | coufusion we may as well limit the invita- tions to towns having not less than 1000 inhabitants.” “I agree to that,”’ said Mayor Sutro. The question as to the prover official to | address 1n case the town had no Mayor | was then discussed. Mayor Sutro said that in such an event theinvitation should be sent to ti:e president of the Town Coun- cil of the place, or if there should be no Board of Supervisors. The two Mayors then agreed upon an invitation to be drawn up, signed by the ‘Mayors of San Franci co. Oakland, Sacra- mento and Stockton and addressed to the | Presidents oi Board of Supervisors, a% the case might be, of all towns in the State having & population of over 1000.

Dr. Calderon, Consul of Saivador: Antonio Ezeta has arrived on 2 filibustering expedition in the tug Golden Barelay, but he did not dare toland. He proceeded to Costa Rica, aronnd which port he is at present hovering. The peace of the country has not yet been dis- turbed at all. CASTE!

Dr. Calderon says his people have fore- | seen this move on Ezeta’s part for some | time and are prepared to give him a recep- | tion, as they are satisfied with the present government. - Sailors have an idea that rats will for- | sake a doomed vessel, and several curious insiances, tolerably well authenticated, have been reported of the rats leaving a vessel which alterward came to disaster. 1t is a well-known fact that rats frequently desert a house about to fall and mines | which are on the point of caving in. | Robert A.

National Guard Staff Officers Are Try- ing to Down General R. A. Friedrich, The annual election of officers for the Union League Club will take place next Tuesday. Thereare two tickets in the field, and the contest promises to become quite animated. In thisclub the members chosen to constitute the board of directors elect the president, vice-president and secretary. Following is the regular ticket for the board of directors: Samuel W. Backus, Robert A. Friedrich, George H. Pipoy, Charles G. Clinch, Wil- liam H. Dimond, Dan T. Cole, Harry N. Gray, John C. Currier, Frank A. Vail, Reed Jones, John J. Wirtner, The members’ ticket, which contains eight names that are on the regular ticket, contain also three names not thereon— W. D. Sanborn, Arthur Spear and Charles M. Shortridge. Messrs. Spear and Short- ridge are members of the existing board, having been chosen to fill vacancies, and under the courtesies of custom were en- titled to be placed on the regular ticket. Cornelius 0’Connor was so entitled, but he declined to serve, and so in his place W. ) D. Sanborn was designated. Following is the members’ ticket: Charles M. Shortriige, Samuel W. Backus, Frank A. thar W. Spear, John J. Wirtner, W.D. Sanborn, Vail, George 'H. Pippy, Charles G.

In the Republican cause he stumps the State effectively when the committee calls on him for support. He goes wherever duty calls. He is not an adept in the science of manipulating conventions or controlling Congressional delegations, but he is simply an able, broad-gauged, whole-souled and large- hearted Republican whose friends are legion. Should the attendance of country members next Tuesday be large the vote for the members’ ticket will be corre- spondingly lar.e. General Friedrich was seen by a Carn reporter yesterday, but courteously de- clined to discuss the contest. He enter- tains the belief that several of the mem- bers on the regular ticket who are reported to be working against his promotion are Iriendly to him, and avers that he has re- ceived from them expressions of friend- ship. He said distinctly, however, that Arthur Spear and Charfes M. Shortridge should have been, in accordance with cus- tom, placed on the regular ticket. Com- modore O’Connor was entitled to a place | on the regular ticket, but he declined to go on either ticket, so W. D. Sanborn, an- other progressive member of the club, was placed on the member’s ticket. Gen- eral Friedrich says that he has not sought the office, but he feels that according to the custom which has been observed since the ciub was founded the first vice-presi- dent should succeed to the presidency.
