The call from the County Committee included the nomiration of candidate for State Sen- ator from the Firs natorial District. J. M. Melendy, chairman of the execu- tive commuttee, called the convention to order. C. A. Eastman was chosen tem- | porary chairman and W. T. S. Hadley temporary secretary. The following reso- lution was unanimously adopted: at this conveation proceed | e on various candidates for Con- @ State Senator for the purpose of | hoice of can- | h further Resoived, That delegates chosen at this con- vention to participate in the Congressional First Con- 1 and First Senatorial districts, to be e City of San Franciscoon Tuesday, 896, or as soon thereafter as said an convene, be and they are here- by instructed to cast their votes for persons receiving the largest number of votes in con- vention for such offices. A motion to go into Assembly district convention was lost, and the convention proceeded to vote on a choice for Con- gressional candidate. When it was learned Senator Frank McGowan was the almost unanimous choice of the convention the applause was prolonged and enthusiastic. | It was some moments before the chair- | man could again bring the convention to order. | The vote for preferencs as to the Sena- torial candidate was very close. J. N. Gillett receivea 48 votes and J. H. G. | ‘Weaver 42 votes. Each faction had been diligently workine the county for sup- porters, as the Humboldt delegation con- trols the nomination. The following delegates to the Congres- sional convention were elected: William | Carson, J. C. Bull, William Wallace, John 8. Connick, Thomas Selvage. Dr. F. R. Horel, . Frank Ellerly Sr., A. Putnam, Frank LiAher, John M, Vance, Rev. C. P. Cone, George W. Williams. The convention again pledged its dele- gation to McGowan, adopted the St. Louis platiorm d resolved to earnestly sup- port the Republican nominees. When a picture of McKinley was presented to the | convention by S. A. Campbell the dele- gates arose in a body and cheered. The campaign cry has become “McKiniey and McGowan.” and Senatorial conventions of th. gression: 2R Seattie’s Champion of Silver. | SEATTLE, Wass., June 27.—Hon. Wil- liam H.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., June 27.—The monotony of summer school work was pleasantly broken into last evening by some of the more energetic students giving a dance in Roble Gym- nasium. Tie invitation was a general one to students, and many took advantage of the opportunity to attend the only social | eventduring the summer-school session. ®he walls of the gympasium were dec- oratgd with evergreens, artistically ar- tisiically arranged, while in each corner of | the dancing floor booths made themselves | conspicuous, not only because of the bandiwork, but also for the reason that | refreshiments were within, awaiting the pieasure of the dancers. An orchestra from San Jose furnished the music, and when the firs. number on the programme was called about twenty- | five couples took the floor. Waltzes and | two-steps were the favorites of the evening. | e | TURKS PREV NT ESCAPE. | Armenians Connot Leave the FEastern | Land of Bloodshed. } SEATTLE, Wasa., June 27.—In a third | letter received by Phillinps, an Armenian ‘ merchant of this city, from his mother, | five members of whose family have been | murdered by Tarks, the writer states that | the butcheries continue with no sign of abatement. Replying to her son’s advice | to leave and come to this country, she ] says: | “If T only could leave this terrible land! | But no one can go without a pass from the | Turkish Government, and tbat is imp ssi- | ble to get. As the mountains are all | guarded, it would not be possible to escape | that way. No business is being done, and | starvation stares all in the face, and it is| but a question of time, unless assistance comes, until we perish.” | The writer is endeavoring to care for six of her grandchildren, representing three families whose parents were shot down by Turks. % — Selling Arizona Bonds. PH(ENIX, Ariz, June 17.—Arizona Territorial bonds, even at half price, are in poor demand. The sale negotiated sev- eral months ago has fallen through. The London capitalists, after depositing a for- feit of $10,000, declined to take the bonds. A compromise has been effected whereby the Territory will be reimbursed for all expenses and the balance of the forfeit money returned to the London parties. Another sale is being negotiated. e Plies Lake 1ahoe’s Waters. CARSON, Nev., June 27.—The new Lake Tahoe steamer Tahoe was fired up to-day and is now on the lake. Everything works well.

No other store in tHe West dare attempt such prices as we quote this week. The absolute necessity of reducing our immense stocks, the selling of which was unavoidably delayed for many weeks, explains the price- cutting below and a thousand similar bargains. which will be found in the World’s Grandest Store. Selling every kind of merchandise in one vast establishment as we do means a great saving in expense, and consequently the ability at all times to sell goods at a closer margin of profit than they could possibly be sold for in separate stores. as our modern methods enable us to sell every day, prices such as we quote you this week would mean irretrievable ruin if continued To maintain the prestige which is already ours stocks must be kept fresh, clean and strictly up-to-date. the goods now in our store grow ¢‘stale’” and ‘‘unprofitable’’ on our hands we cut prices as prices were never cut before in San ERS’ INTEREST.
