SACRAMENTO HUSTLING. Capital City Boomers Are on Deck to Work for the State Convention. A QUESTION OF PRIMARIES. Ideas of John D. Spreckels and Various County Committeemen on the Situation. The Republican State Central Commit- tee will meet at Pioneer Hall at 2 o’clock this afternoon to fix the time and place for holding the State convention for the | nomination of Presidential electors and Congressmen to be voted for at the election this fall. The place and time where the conven- tion shall meet, and the call for a primary election for delegates to a State conven- | make the nominations tion which shall mentioned, sre the main things to be con- sidered by the committee. What else may come up as it spring the brains of the delegates cannot be fore- told Quite a number of the members of the committee reached the City last evening, but a majority of those who attend the meeting will not arrive until to-day.

A large proportion of the State Central Committee are expected to be in attendance to-day, despite the ab- sence of the excitement attendant vear when and probably Stockton nated. It is not likely that more than routine business pertaining to the cam- paign will come up at to-day’s meeting. John D. Spreckels was seen last evening and was probable action of the Republican State Central Committee at its meeting to be heid to-day. Mr. Spreckels said: There are practically but four im- portant matters which will probably come before the committee for its consideration at this time. These are the date of hold- ing the primary election throughout the State for the selection of delegates, the oi aldate when these defegates wilt n convention, the naming of a place the convention is to meet, ana the )n of the basis of representation in nvention. “If my views were sought I should ad- vise the holding of an open primary election throughout the State, particularly in the er and more populous cities and coun- tie But local seli-government in party matters should not be invaded or de- stroyed. Since the Supreme Court has de- clared the new primary-election law to be invalid we have to hold the election under the old law. The old primary law isall right, 1f honestly gdministered. This makes it all the more important, notonly chat fair and open primaries should be held, but also that in their conduct the utmost care should be used by the Stateand County trees to select such election officers nd the ballotboxes with such hould also be made best citizens to the ‘polls at the election, for after all the best as- of honest politics is to be found in iterest taken by honest and responsi- nin all the political steps leading to the general election.” z ‘What have you to say, Mr. Spreckeis, as to the basis of representation in the next State Convention?"" I think that the latest authentic data by which the distribution of Republicans throughout_the State can be determined should be "used as the basis for the ap- pointment of delegates among the several counties. This 1s naturally the Estee vote. I believe that while an apportion- ment based ‘upon the vote of the last State election will lessen the number of delegates from the large cities and ‘increase the country Vote in this connection, this will result in good to the party by conducing to har- mony between the country and Uity dele- gations and giving greater satisfaction to the bone and sinew of the party through- out the State. 5 The time and manner of holding the primaries and the vlace of holding the convention wiil probably be aecided upon by tbe State Central Committee to-aay, and when that is done 1 do not see any other maiter of importance which re- quires their present consideration. “So far as I know, the utmost harmony prevails in the Republican party through- out the State. The City and country are and will be together. I trust and believe that the State Committee will act wisely and barmoniously for the good of the ariy."” ¥ I'he call for the primary e'ection for delegates to the State Convention is per- baps the tning of main importance which which will come before the State Commit- tee to-dav. It is not likely that the call will differ much from those of preceding vears or change the habit of the Republi: can party in holding open primaries every- where for the election of convention dele- gates. The County Committee of San ¥rancisco is unanimously in favor of an open primary for this City, in which ail Republicans shall have an equal part. de- spite hints which "have been putforward that it is ready to adopt a plan to appoint delegates to the State Convention itself instead of holding an open primary for that purpose. $ Every member of the County Committee of San Francisco who was interviewed yes- terday expressed himsell as in favorof a primary election in this City, conducted by the County Commiftee, which alone lias proper jurisdiction, and at which every Republican should bave an equal oppor- tunity to vote and have his vote counted. Charles W. Manwaring, chairman of the County Committee, said that he was un- alterably opposed to the appointment of delegates by the County Committee and in favor of a primary election, which should be fairly and unqualifiedly open to every element of the party. He made a brief plea for harmony, honesty and clean- ness in the party. g % “My stand 1n regard to the primary is, from start to finish, that every Republican in every district should have an equal show,” he said yesterday. ‘I wish to see & primary in this City at which every Re- publican’ can come. in and express his wishes. I want to see the majority rule in | Rutie, unexpected, from | fight, bnt those cities did not the members of in a| State officers are to be nomi- asked for his views as to the even sugeested in the County Committee. “This County Committee is quite com- Yelem to take care of a primary in San | Francisco, and there has never been a Re publican County Committee in this City | more determined o hold a fair and open | primary in which evervbody entitled to vote will have an equal show and a fair count. It is the policy of this County Committee to bring all factions in the | party together, and any other policy than | the one I have in mind would have an opposite tendency.’” n Jackson, secretary of the County | ommittee, expressed himself as follows: | “The only plan that I would agree to | would be an open primary, in which every Republican would have an equal show. I want to see the people in the various dis- tricts have an opportunity to say who should represent them in the convention, and I want to see that opportunity sur- rounded by every safeguard that can be provided.”’ “I am a Republican who is for clean and fair politics,’ said C. G. Clinch of the | County Committee, “‘and no plan but one | which would give every Republican voter | a fair and honest show regardless of his sonal afliliations would win my sup- | I want to see the party united and successful, and the way to secure those ends is to have a primary election, con- ducted by the regularly constituted au- | thorities, which will be fair and square-in | its relation to every voter.” “1 shall favor nothing but an open pri- mary, at which every Republican voter may cast his ballot and have it counted,” said Thomas McDermott, another mem- ber of the committee. *“‘The primary in this City must be conducted in the inter- est of the Republican party, and to be so conducted it must be an open one, in which every possible element shall have fair representation, and one which shall | preserve the unity of the party.” “An open primary andfa faireshow to | everybody is the only thing that will win my indorsement,” said Ambrose Watson, | the member from the Forty-third. | 1 will favor nothing butan open pri- have an e | honest one, cut | polit \‘uul show and the countan | ¥ said P. H. Prendergast of the ve committee. ‘‘Clean Republican | should and can rule this year, and | that is what we shall have.” } G. Bacigalupi, the insurance man, who | is also a member of the executive commit- | tee, was equally insistent in the same idea. “I believe that there is not a member of | the Couniy Committee of San Francisco,” he said, “who is not vigorously in favor of | an open and honest primary election at | which the will of the Republican voters in | various districts may be fairly expressed | and honestly reported. We are deter- mined this politics, in which the participation of all ted.” am for anything in the interest of iny thing that will lead to a clean condition of affairs. This is especially urgent since the defeat of the new primary law, in the success of which I was especially hopeful. “I now want to see a primary elect:on in this City which will conduce to the inter- est of the party and give every Republican an equal show. The present County Com- mittee was created by a method which makes it especially representative of the people, and itis especially representative of the interests of the whole party. “I know that the committee as it is| in a broad way the interests of the party, element in every district will be pro-| tected.” The proceedings of the committee will undoubtedly be ended before evening and tue members will be ready to enjoy the informal reception, beginning at 9:30 . ., which has been tendered by the Union League Club at its quarters in the Palace | Hotel. There will be good fellowship, a | nice collation and possibly a number of | bearable speeches. | One of the prominent members of the | committee whno arrived yesterday was | Arthur W. Kinney of Los Angeles, presi- dent of the League of Young Republicaps, | Los Angeles, who isat the Palace. He says there is great interest in Repub- lican politics in Southern California.

When the curtain went up it revealed grcny much the same band asof yore. Sousa, ticher by a fow more magnificent medals, received quite an ovation o his appearance. His conducting has not changed atall. He guides his men with the same fetching, Deisarte-like gestures which have always ‘been so dear to the hearts of nis admirers, and he has the | same perfect command over every instru- | ment on the bandstand which has char- | acterized him on former visits. In the class of music which he has made himself 10 be beyond criticism. His band is beautifully balanced, the wood being | aimost as effective as strings. The bass is | equally good and in the Sousa genre of music the shading was most effective and at the same time wonderfully refined and delicate for a military band. Sousa’s limitations were shown when he attempted Liszt's *‘Second Hungarian Rhapsodie.” The transcription is not so effective for a band as 1s the Muller- | Berghaus orchestral arrangement, but | even taking this into consideration, | Sousa’s cola, precise interpretation vul- | garized the rhapsodie to the level of a | two-step polka. "It was not the band that | was at fauit, but the conductor, who is | evidently lacking in the temperament necessary to grasp the spirit of tne capri- cious Magyar music.

There were eight numbers on the rrogmmme, but Sousa is a past master—a Washington past master—of managing a popular audience.

Among the compositions new to this City plaved last night was “‘King Cotton Mareh,” a twin brother to the ‘Manhat- tan Beach,” “The Washingion Post March,” ete., and which is sure to become as popular as the earlier offspring of brain, The. descriptive piece “Three Quotations’’ was also good, par- ticularly the musical description of the a hill and down again.

He said: “There is a strong sentiment down | there to first find out who of the several candidates mentioned is strongest for Cali- fornia—who is most friendly to Pacific Coastinterests. Down our way it is Cali- fornia first and men afterward. Any of the names mentioned as a possible nomi- nee of the Republican Convention secms to be good, reliable timber to make a Fresi- dent from. We want to look the ground over carefully and be sure that California does not get left, as has been the case in the past, and we think it poor policy to commit our State to any man before ascer- taining what may be expected from bim and what his chances are of a nomination. “The question is frequently asked why California should be put on the rollcall for | a man until that man’s position is fully | defined. Why should California pledge in | advance her vote for a ‘mess of pottage'? “Is it not a fact that the interests of the | Pacific Coast are worthy of recognition? They never have been as yet, simply be- cause in times past it has been the rule | for our delegations to start for the conven- | tion unalterably committed to an indi- | vidual; hence being tied hand and foot and their names placed on the rollcall no necessity existed to make any promises for the real interests of California. Other States more discreet waited until they saw the way ‘the cat would jump,’ and accordingly made their trades with the winner. That is politics. | “We must send the strongest kind of a | delegation to St. Lonis this year.

Captain Nicoll of the Agnes Oswald Tied Up in Dela- goa Bay. His Wife Died While He Was Bid- ding the Doctor Farewell at « the Gangway. Captain Nicoll of the Britiah bark Agnes Oswald is In sore trouble in Delagoa Bay. Shortly after he arrived there his wife died. Next his entire crew deserted and went to the gold mines. Then when he wanted to get a new crew, water and bal- last the Portuguese refused to assist him, and by last accounts his vessel is still tied up in South African waters. The Agnes Oswald left here about six months ago for Puget Sound to load lum- ber for Delagoa. Captain Nicoll was not a universal favorite in shipping circles. but nevertheless he secured a particularly good crew. Many of the men came from the Sailors’ Home and others were coast- ing men out of a job. : 'ine vessel loaded lumber at Port Gamble | and the men stayed by theship. After leav- | ing the sound there were anumber of differ | ences of opinion between the captain and | hiscrew, and the result was that when the Agnes Oswald arrived at Delagoa Bay the men deserte¢ in a body. Captain Nicoll does not seem to have got on any better with the Portuguese authorities than he did with his men; hence the present trouble over water, ballast and crew. When the Agnes Oswald left San Fran- cisco Mrs. Nicoll was a very sick woman. ‘When the bark reached Delagoa Bay she | was gradually sinking, and the captain sent ashore for medical assistance the mo- | ment the anchor was dropped. A Portu- | | guese physician responaed to the call, and after examination said there was nothing organically the matter, and that the wo- man would be all right in a few days. He was wrong in_his diagnosis, however, | as next day Mrs. Nicoll was worse. . An- | other physician was sent for, but he re- i fused to answer the call unless the first doctor was present. Both men were told to come at once, and after making a thor- ough investigation they told the captain that there was nothing seriously wrong with his wife, Captain Nicoll went on deck to see them off, waved his hat to them as the boat sped toward the shore, returned to the cabin and found his wife dead. He rushed on deck and waved fractically to the de- parting boat, but no one understood kis | signe. Another boat was manned and sent ashore, but When the doctors arrived all they could do was to shrug their shoulders and say in Portuguese, “It is incomprehensible.” : The private letter which brought the above information states that could Cap- tain Nicoll get a crew, water and ballast he would at once start for San Francisco especially his_own* Sousa again_showed | Cruz, J. |- | that I have known all my life. | been with him | your country?’ W.

Morton is a very zcod man. 1 have been | a friend of his for a long time and I didn’t want to see him laboring under a misap- prehension. ““As for Tom Platt, I regard him a good deal in politics as [ would a case of appen- dicitis in a man. He is a relic of some- thing at one time huving uses possibly, but has now grown rudimentary and can better be dispensed with. His methods are no longer requisite. The party doesn’t need them. “Judge has always been a pronounced Republican paper, as 1 suppose you are aware, but of course, we cannot help hav- ing opinious in reference to the methods of men of the kind I have alluded to. “As for Mr. Cleveland I know bim better than I do many of my neighbors 1 have in_politics and out of politics and know himn every way vou take him. “To my mind he is simply a case of ossitied corporosity. I regard him as obstinate, too, instead of firm. I re- member = that after he was elected Governor and before the National Con- vention met to nominate a President, I met him and was talking to him about his possible nomination. ** ‘It would be just like my bull-headed luck to get it,’ said he. “I told him I hoped no immediate change would take piace in referencc to him, for I was taking my departure. He didn’t seem to like my remark. “‘I do not believe a man in active busi- ness can atford to take any office, no mat- ter how high it may be.

When he had volunteers he shouldn’t use the draft. ‘‘Cleveland has made from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 since he went into office some few years ago. He bad nothing, or next to it, when elected President. How did he make such a huge fortune so quick? Got tips on stocks, and invested in other ways on what he knew was going to hap- pen, from his connection with office. e must kave made it in t| way. He couldn’t have done it otherwise.”” Then Mr. Arkell said a few words about Judge.’ “Since Mr. Gillam died,” he said, “Mr. Hamilton has taken his place. He does very well, and ought to, for he had a long training under Mr. Gillam. We have a council in our office every week at which ideas are suggested for cartoons for the coming issue. This council *is held usually every Saturday.” Mr. Arkell has been in California before, baving_visited this City but a few years ago. He says he will continue to come as often as possible. WHEELMEN ORGANIZE. Another Cycling Society Formed—Ous for Good Roads. The Wheelmen’s Republican Club, com- and trust to luck to secure a freight to England, . posedsof members of the various wheeling siding. Announcement was made of the appointment by Governor Budd of Frank H. Buck of Vacaville to succeed his late father on the board. The news was re- | ceived with applause, and the following | telegram ordered sent to the Governor: Hon. James H. Budd, Governor, Sacramento : | The State Horticultural Society in session ex- tends sincere thanks for compliment you paid horticultural interests of the State by anpoint- ing Frank H. Buck on State Board of Horti- | culture. E. J. WICKsox, Secretary. | It was decided to hold meetings fort- | nightly instead of monthly, alternating and the most efficient means for its extir- aticn. Concerning remedies for the pest Mr. Lelong said that only pure paris green should be used. Much of the drug now on the market was absolutely worthless, he said, but often the farmers themselves were to blame because they wanted a cheap article and were unwilling to pay the 20 cents a pound demanded for the pure article. Another able paper was contributed by laooratory of the State University. His subject was the stock-feeding valueof Cali- {fornia fruits, and his remarks were lucidly illustrated by a number of large tables hung up against the walls 1n which the propositions advanced by the essayists were proved by figures that ‘‘couldn’t lie.” Brainerd Rowley presented a report from the committee appointed by the society to consider the free fruit market project in its practical bearings. The report was strongly in favor of the scheme, and recommended that the Horticultural Society work in union with the Board of Trade, Merchants’ Association, Chamber of Commerce and other organizations, for the calling of a growers’ convention, whereat the matter could be practically discussed. Mr. Row- ley further said that before going to the meeting he had a conference with the Board of State Harbor Conimissioners, and reported that body as having expressed its willingness to do all in its power to further the project. Section 4, embracing 500 feet of the sea wall,was mentiored asan eligible site for the free fruit market. Several of the members were in favor of petitioning the Harbor Commission for more space, and some diseussion ensued. It was at length decided that the com- mittee should continue its labors, and rep- resent the Horticultural Society at the convention should it be held. DISPUTED LAND CLAIMS, The U, S. Government Sues the Southern and Central Pacific Railroads For Lands Located Along the Railroad Route From Sacramento to San Jose. The United States District Attorney yes- terday received instructions from Secre- try Olney to commence action in the United States District Court for the North- ern Distrigt of Cahfornia against the Southern and Central Pacitic Railway companies for the quieting of title to tain lands lying along the line of railway from Sacramento to San Jose. The !and is agricultural in character and is valued at upward of $1,000,000. These suits are brought on grounds sim- ilar to those recently instituted against certain properties claimed by the railroad in Butte and other northern counties. The land in dispute in this particular instance is along the road’s Western Pacific route. Itis alleged that some of the land in question was erroneously patented to the railroad since it had been homesteaded; that the State selected certain strips un- der the act of 185%; that certain acreage was exempt because of belonging to cer- tain Spanish and Mexican grants, and again that certain other lands were out- side the limit laid down by the acts of July 1, 1862, and July 2, 1864, ‘As the Government only has until Mon- day to file its claims, First Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Knight, who has charge of all the civil cases of the office, is very busy preparing the necessary bills for the Gov- ernment.
