THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1896. o TWO CRUISERS IN SANTA CRUZ BAY Philadelphia and Monad- nock Anchored Before the City. READY FOR THE FETE. Company of Young Ladies Are Drilling for a Military Display. EXERCISE WITH REAL SWORDS From All Indications the Carnival Will Surpass Anything Before Attempted. SANTA CRUZ, CAL., June 15.—A grand chorus of welcome shouts went out from the hundreds of people on the beach and wharves and along the cliff drive this afternoon as the Philadelphia rounded ©thouse Point and poked her nose into calm waters of the bay. The bright the sun was dropping down toward its ocean bed. The sky was clear and the atmosphere was of that delightful temperature that makes a perfect Santa Cruz June day. A gentle breeze blew in, just enough to tem- <er the sun’s heat. A strong counter cur- rent was running close in that tossed the small craft and the fishermen’s boats about in a friendly, joily way that gave them the appearance of extending a series of courte- ous bows to the visitors. The white cruiser slipped quietly and swiftly alonz the outer edge of the bay, holding her side toward the city and giv- ing the audience a beautiful view of her. It was a sight not often seen here, though | appreciated, not more from that fact than from the fact the Philadelphia is a guest of the city, come to participate in the magnificent display of the carnival id to act as tutor to the Fourth Gun Di- . G. C., whose members recognize srand opportunity thus offered them to acquire knowiedge of actual ship prac- tice. The city considers it also a great honor that just at a time when the whole State is turning toward Santa Cruz the Pniladelphia and the Monadnock should be permitted to add realism to the ro- mance of the Venetian water fetes. There was some disappointment ex- pressed that the Monadnock did not steam in with the Philadelphia, as was exp d. But that was dispelled j an hour later when the Monadnock glided in, passing the bow of the Philadelphia and casting ner anchor a little farther up the bay and just a little nearer the shore. So the 1nterest was doubled by the order of the coming in of the two ships, for each | ctively different appear- on in the water as well as Ajter the Philadelphia off Railroad wharf, by Lieutenant A. A. n Lindsay of the Fourth aval Battalion, N. G. C. Within half an hour the naval reserve launch returned and took on board Mayor Clark, Lieutenant-Governor Jeter and other citizens representing the carnival association and the city, who were formally presented to Admiral Beardsley and his presented a di ance in its posi its construction. had cast anchor, she was boarded staff and Captain Cotton and his officers. | Tne visitors were entertained for an hour or more ané shown about the vessel, finding much to interest them in the de- tails of manipulation of the machinery and the guns. While in the cabin Admiral Beardsiee told a story of Sharkey, the pugilist. who is misnamed the “Marine.” Sharkey was not a marine, he said, but a biuejacket, and though a man of such strong physique, he came from & very sickly family. The listeners wondered. “It’s a fact,” said the Admiral, ‘‘Sharkey obtained more leaves of absences to visit his sick relatives than any ten other men aboard the Philadelphia. When he had visited a sick relative for the last time during a spell of sickness be would re- turn with honors won in the prize ring. Of course Sharkey had to give up prize- fighting or the ship, and he gave up the ship. “But Sharkey was not a ‘marine.’ He was a bluecoat and one of the soberest and most attentive to duty. He quieted many a aisturbance among his mates, and was a worthy fellow aboard ship and a good fighte: After watching the coming in of the Mo- nadnock and viewing the Philadelphia the visitors returnad to the city to prepare for the formal reception ashore on to-morrow night, and the participation of the blue- coats in the parade and drill on Wednes- day. Whatever sball be done by the men from the war ships for the pleasure of the carnival visitors will of course be done where the public will be invited without charge. Admiral Beardslee and his staff-captain (Cotton) of the Philadelphia and his offi- cers and Captain O. Sumner of the Monad- nock and his officers will be tendered a re- ception by the Carnival Association and the city to-morrow night at the Sea Beach Hotel, and at the conclusion of the recep- tion. a ball will be tendered them by the Sea Beach Hotel. Harbor Commissioner F. 8. Chadbourne and® his son William were guests of Ad- miral Beardslee, coming down from thc City. They will return by train to-mor- row. Admiral Beardslee said they had a pleasant. though uneventful trip down, and until noon kept in sight of the Mo- nadnock, who was steaming at about eight knots, when the Philadelphia parted company, with her mate and pushed her speed to twelve kmots, arriving just one hour ahead. The City Trustees are busy to-night with matters pertaining to the opening day, and the streets are crowded with peo- ple who come out to witness a very pretty sight presented by the Creek Power Com- pany, whose lights are now ready for dis- i jon in this city. R 00da Fellows' building was illu- minated with several hundred incan- descent lamps arranged after the design of the front elevation of the building. It makes & fine display of electric lighting, and Manager Fred Swanton was so proud of the effect that he engaged the services of the Santa Cruz city band for an open air concert that gave the people a good deal of pleasure. < M. C. Osborn has been engaged in the delicate task of drilling twenty young ladies to handle the sword like soldierson dress parade, and has accomplished some very pretty marches and maneuvers with his fair volunteers. He and the young ladies are now ready for public exhibition, The Young Ladies’ Santa Cruz Drill Corps Which Will Appear in the Carnival Under M. C. Osbor:, Drillmaster.

Their uniforms | are blue reefer jackets, short skirts and | leggins trimmed in silver, while their | swords are real ones of the pattern used | by the Knights Templar in their drill work. The young ladies are delighted with the exercise which amply repays them for their service to the carnival even were they not so desirous as they are of aiding the carnival by their pretty exhibitions. Following are the names of the young Jadies who will give the sword drill ex- hibition during the carnival. y McFariand, Anona Thomas, Grace ney, Mabel Smith, Ethel Gillen, Crystale Osborn, Grace Stretter, Frankie Collins, Georgie Collins, Alma Osterhus, Viola Hubbel, Gertie Chappell, Mabel | Beesh, Bella Abrams, Ethel Bartlett, Anna Casebeer, Mabel Lask, Jessie Wil- liams, Flora Thesig and Annie Beas. All things are now ready and the incom- | ing trains to-day brought enough visitors to assure the opening of the carnivala | success. The. visitors have been coming | gradually until to-day. They are being'| easily and comfortably disnosed of as to hotel accommodations.

He is for Mor- | ton and gold. For gold because that | metal is the recognized currency of the | commercial world. | If it were tin it would be equally good, jor every nation that has commercial rela- tions with another nation has the same eurrency. “If we could continue to isolate ourselves from the rest of the world,” continued | the speaker, ‘‘and give up all our exports, we could afford to establish any currency we pleased. The baser metal is bound to remain while the other goes abroad.’” Among those who calied at California headquarters to-day were Rev. Gilbert A. | Ottman, up to a few months ago rector of | | St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Sacra- | nento. Mr. Ottman left Sacramento to re- side in St. Louis. His bad iaste in the matter of climate has brought its own punishment, and I smiled when I saw him perspire. Will H. Gagan and sister of San Francisco are stopping here on their way East. They will take a peep at the conven- tion. Mr. Gagan is a well-known drug- gist. He was formerly a reporter on the San Francisco dailies. Another big brass band, headed by a | drum-major topped with a white bearskin, has just marched into the lobby playing “The Suwanee River'’ and “Dixie.” The NMissourians are yelling with joy. Then some one among the newcomers shouts for Tom Reed and the building shakes with the roar that goes up. Joux PAUL COSGRAVE. e STATE COMMITTEE DOINGS. Electlon of Officers of the Different Delegations. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 15.—A singular state of affairs exists in the California delegation. The four contestants who were seated by the National Committee, after having been turned down by the | State Committee in Sacramento, have now practically bolted. It came aboutin this way: Last Saturday, while en route to St. Louis, the delegation held a meeting and resolved to ask the convention to undo the work of the National Committee so far as to give all parties to the four con- tests a seat and half a vote eack. This afternoon a delegation caucus was held | and Denison, Spear, Kowalsky and Hock- heimer, the four men seated by the National Committee, protested against the other four participating in the proceed- ingsand moved to strike them off the roll. This, after a heated debate, was ruled out of order and then Denison, Hockheimer, Spear and Kowalsky walked out. They say they will hold a caucus themseives, | send in their own list of names for all | committees and reopen the question of | National Committeeman, which hds been settled by naming Jobn D. Spreckels. The Californians are therefore very thor- oughly split. ‘When National Committeeman de Young heard of the bolt he rushed over to the California headquarters and told the bolters to go back, that thev were making fools of themselves. Three of the four then returned to the caucus. A. B.Lem- mon was named for member of the com- mittee on resolutions, O. A. Hale for com- mittee on permanent organization, F. H. Short on rules, Frank Miller on committee to notify Presidential nominee, and U. 8. Grant for honorary vice-president of the convention. The delegates who left the caucus will probably act with the delegates at the next meeting. ¢ Iowa this afternoon elected the follow- ing: Member of the committee on resolu- tions, J. H. Gear; on credentials, W. P. Hepburn; on rules, H. W. Macomber; permanent -organization, E. €. Roach; to notify nominee for President, Calvin Man- ning; to notify nominee for Vice-Presi- dent, C. M. Judkin; honorary vice-presi- dent, A. B. Cummings, J. W. Blythe was named for National Committeeman, but declined, and A. B. Cummings was sub- | | | | | | | | financial plank was not referred to during | tials, W. A. Rodenberg; on permanent or- | delegation, one of the strongholds of free sequently chosen, as was L. Banks Wilson honorary vice-president, vice Cummings, resigned. The financial plank adopted by the del- egation after a very warm debate and by a vote of 15 to 9 opposes the free coinage of silver pending international agreement; | favors the use of gold, silver and wvaper | kept on a parity and the enactment of laws to accomplish it; favors the use of silver as money, either through interna- tional agreement to secure a common ratio, with free coinage at such ratio by the agreeing nations, or by concurrent leg- islation of the leading nations to accom- plish the purpose. William Lamb, the present State chair- man of the Republican party in the old commonwealth of Virginia, was this after- noon completely overthroan as a result of his effort to stem the McKinley tide in that State. He was supposed to have been for Reed, but all events show he was for anybody to beat McKinley, and as chairman of the State organization earn- estly sought to accomplish this resuit. He failed, however, and when the State convention met was sent as one of the delegates at large under cast-iron instruc- tions to vote for McKinley. When Mr. Lamb sought the honor of a re-election as | the Virginia member of the National Committee he found the State delegation practically unanimous for George E. Bow- den, who was chosen. It was not at all necessary, but ex-Gov- ernor Foraker coula not resist the tempta- tion at the Ohio meeting this afternoon to introduce a resolution instructing the dele- gates to vote for McKinley. The resolu- tion was received with three cheers and a tiger and went through with a whirl. The the informal discussion of various topics by the delegates. There appeared to be a tacit understanding that that subject was were to be put upon the committee on | resolutions. | The convention committeemen selected | Meldrum; rules and oraer of business, C. | were: Chairman of the delegation, Gover- | nor Bushnell; resolutions, ex-Governor | Foraker; credentials, Judge A. C. Thomp- son; permanent organization, General Charles A. Grosvenor; rules, Congress- man George W. Wilson; to notify the nominee for President, M. A. Hanna. The selection of a representative to notify the mnominee for Vice-Presi- dent was postponed. As has been pre- dicted Charles T. Curtis of Columbus, one of the most ardent of the Foraker follow- ers, was elected member of the National Committee. to succeed William M. Habn. The Illinois delegation elected officers as follows: National Committeeman, T. N. Jamieson; member of committee on resolutions, R. W. Patterson; on creden- | ganization, J. O. Humphrey; on rules, J. T. McKnight; to notify nominee for President, C. H. Deane; to notify nom- inee for Vice-President, I. L. Elwood; honorary vice-president, J, W. Fifer; chairman of delegation, R. J. Oglesby; vice-chairman, J. W. Fifer. The delegates then entered upon a hot discussion of the financial plank. Speeches were made by H. A. Jones, R. ‘W. Patterson, Judge Hamlin, Duncan McDougall, General G. T. Henderson and J. M. Smyth. A resolution favoring the gojd standard was finally adopted by a vote of 42 to 6. Chicago was favored as. the head- quarters of the National Republican Com- mittee. It may not be significant, but the Idaho silver, in making up its committee assign- ments to-day neglected to fill the place of National Committeeman and members of the committee to notify the president and vice-president the three places that would naturally remain unfilled if it were the in- tention to bolt the convention. The re- maining places were filled as follows: Chairman, A. B. Campbell; resolutions, Senator Fred T. Dubois; organization, Benjamin Roch; credentials, Littleton Price. A meeting of colored delegates presided over by Colonel Perry Carson of Wash- ington, D. C., to-day adopted resolutions pledging their support to Connecticut’s favorite son, ex-Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley of Hartford for Vice-President. The New Jersey delegation met at noon and made the following selections: For vice-president of the convention, Franklin Murray ; credentials, Jobn Franklin Fort; permanent organization, John McEwan Jr.; rules, George Hires; resolutions, Frank Bergen; secretary, John J. Herbert Jr. Owing to the candidacy of Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey’s National Commit- teemen for second place on the National ticket, no action was taken on committee- men. Minnesota's delegates selected the fol- lowing representatives this morning: Chairman, Charles A. Pillsbury; vice- president of convention, Charles F. Hen- drix; National Committeeman, L. ¥. Hub- bard; committees — Credentials, T. P. Hunt; resolutions, W. R. Merriam; rules, 0. 3. Gundersorz; permanent organization, L. 8.

Members of committees—Resolutions, Henry E. Asp; rules, Charles Day; cre- dentials, O. A. Mitcher; permanent or- ganization, J. C. Roberts; notification of candidates, John A. Buckles. The selec- tion of the National Committeeman was postponed until to-morrow, when Henry E. Asp will probably be chosen. The Georgia delegation to-day selected A. E. Buck, chairman; S. B. Morse, secre- | tary, and Thomas M. Dent, member of the | credentials committee. i The Maryland delegation at its organi- | zation meeting elected James A. Gary a member of the committee on resolu- tions, Dr. Strange on rules, William F. Airey on notification, Sydney E. Mundey as chairman of the delegation, Robert P. Graham on credentials, William E. Tilgn- | man secretary, and Georze L. Wellington a member of the Nationai Committee. The Indiana delegation held a two hours’ session at their headquarters in the Planters’ Hotel and electedK .

Brizk, credentials; Os- car Montgomery, permanent organization ; Garret Van Duzen, rules; Hiram Brown- lee, 1o notify President; Jesse Wekks, to notify Vice-President., There was a con- | test over the election of National Commit- teeman, which resulted in the selection of W. T. Durbin in place of J. N. Huston. The Oregon delegation made the follow- | mous letter threatening him with dyna- | perfectly safe in the hands of the men who | ing selections: Chairman, Charles W. Par- | rish; gommittee on resolutions, Charles S. Moore; permanent organization, J. W. H. Wadd; committee on credentials, Wal- lace, McCamant; member National Com- mittee, George A. Steel; vice-president of the convention, JohnF. Galbraith. The organization of the Montana delega- tion was as follows: Chairman, Senator Lee Mantle; committee on resolutions, Congressman C. H. Hartman; permanent | crganization, J. W. Streville; credentials, Alexander Metzel. The delegation, of course, is solid for silver. The Texas delegation selected Marion Mullins, chairman; Webster Flanagan, on the resolution committee; H. B. Kane, on credentials; W. A. Gore, on permanent organization; J. W. Butler, on notification and J. A. Luby, vice-president of the con- vention. its National Committeeman, preferring to await the action of the convention on con- tests. Webster Flanagan will fight for a piank in the platiorm of gold and silver | pure and simple and declares his eternal animosity to the free coinage of silver. |~.The Pennsylvania delegation met in | its headquarters this evening. Senator | Quay called the meeting to order and nominated Governor Hastings for chair- | man. He was elected without opposition. | W. W. Greist and J. N. Dreistbach were | elected secretaries; H. H. Bingham was | named for the committee on rules, W. H. | Andrews for that on credentials, Charles H. Mullin for permanent organization and Smedley Darling for committee on resolu- tions. M. S. Quay wasre-elected National Committeeman unanimously. The follow- ing resolution on finance was adopted and will be presented to the committee on resolutions of the convention: “We favor the maintenance of the exist- ing gold standard and are opposed to the free coinage of silver except by an inter- national agreement for bimetallism with the leading commercial nations of the world.” Resolutions favoring the largest appro- priations for the improvement oi rivers and harbors comsistent with the condition of the treasury, opposed to convict labor, restricting immigration, and readjusting representation in the National conven tion on the basis of votes cast, were referred to the Resolutions committee of the conven- tion with the approval of the delegation. General Reeder, Secretary of the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, furnished the only excitement of the meeting. He stated that in the conventions at Chicago and Minneapolis each delegate had been allotted five extra seats, and while the seating capacity of the hall here is larger than any previously used, only two extra seats are to be given to delegates. Hesaid he believed it the right and duty of the aelegation to ask for an inquiry as to what had been done with all the seats. His remarks were greeted with applause. He continued: «I'understand that the seating capacity of the hall is 15,000. Take all of the dele- gates and multiply the number by four and there are 11,000 seats unaccounted for. ‘What has become of them?” “Sold,” said a member. “Yes, sold; and for sale at auction shops and on the streets of St. Louis,” continued General Reeder. He urged that the Penn- sylvania delegation enter a formal protest. This was done by unanimous vote, and Messrs. Elkins, Flood and Reeder were a resolution declaring for gold. $ The Delaware delegation, while yet ex- cluded from the temporary roll of tbe con- vention, met this morning and organized asfollows: Chairman, J. Edward Addicks; committee on credentials, J. Frank Allen; on permanent organization, C. R. Layton; on resolutions, J. Edward Addicks; on no- tification of President, Dr. H. R. Burton; honorary secretary, A.J. Connor; National Committeeman, J. Edward Addicks. The Washington delegation named George H. Emerson chairman of the com- mittee and P. C. Sullivan National Com- mitteeman. The following representatives on committees were selected: James M. Gilbert, credentials; Harry A. Fairchild, permanent organization; Henry L. Wil- son, nominations; Andrew F. Burleigh, platform; J. C. Carter, rules. It was de- cided to urge the Washington gold plank upon the convention. Michigan’s delegation this morning elected the following. Chairman, Russell gpl:oin"d a committee to present the pro- test. The delegates from South Dakota got to- gether to-day and elected L. B. French chairman. A. B. Kittredge was re-elected to the National Committee. The delega- tion was not agreed on the money plank, but polled 5 to 3 for gold. 2 “Mr. Filley is a good Kepublican and an energetic worker for his party and the members of the Missour: delegation did not like to turn him down, but we were compelled to put a stop to the concentration of Republican politics in this State under the control of one man,” were the ‘werds of one of the promi- nent members ot the Missouri delegation, spoken shortly after its organization meet- ing had adjourned. Balloting for member of the National Committee was somewhat exciting but resulted in a victory for Mr. Kerens, who received 19 votes to 12 cast for Mr. Filley and 3 for Mr. Warner. - The other representatives in the con- The delegation did not choose | THE EMPORIUM.
