Country’s Development. 1t was a representative body of the best citizens of the district that assembled in | Shiels Hall last night to name one of their number to represent the Republican sentiment of the district in Congress. The so-called boy element was absentand in its stead were assembled representatives of the mechanics, the laborers and the business men of the district. They were not looking for iat jobs 1n the City Hall and they had no eye on the police force, but they had met for the purpose of guard- ing the welfare and the industrial inter- ests of'the City from the attacks of organ- ized anarchiste, John M. Chretien presided over the meeting and Martin Stéevens wielded the pen of the secretaryship. The following named were appointed by the chair committee on platform and resolutions: T. D. Riordan of the Forty- second Assembly District, J. H. Daley of regret that there are more than one Republi- can candidate in the field. The speaker was interrupted by cries of “No; there is only one, and that is Din- kelspiel.” Mr. Dinkelspiel continued : I{eel in looking over this assemblage that it represents the best elements in the Republi- can party—the best representatives of Califor- nia’s citizenship, enterprise and industrial orosperity. I will leave no stone unturned that will lead to the entire success of the Re- publican party from Major McKinley down. [Great applause.] I indorse the platform as read here to-day and as enunciated by the Republican party at St Louis. The main issue, that which is always before the people, is that of protection. [Applause.[ Ithink that if the hungry. starving workmen that are walking our streets in countless num- bers are given work, which will surely come to them under protection, they will feel more grateful to the Republican party than if we gave them anvthing else that the Democratic party are desirous of not giving them. Ishall enter upon this canvass with an earnest effort toredeem the Fourth Congressional District for the Republican party. The nomination was made by acclama- tion and cheers were given for the nomi- nee. For presidential Elector from the Fourth Congressional District, Thomas D. Rior- dan named W. W. Montague. Mr. Montague was elected by acclama- tion. County Clerk Curry placed in nomina- tion as the alternate elector Cornelius 0’Connor. 2 The meeting then adjourned until the call of the chair. i~ The Republican Contest. The campaign committee of the Repub- lican State Central Committee remained in session all yesterday afternoon hearing arguments on both sides of the contested delegations in Solano and Alameda. The committee was: John D. Spreckels (chair- man), Paris Kilburn, E. K. Taylor, M. R. Hieggins and Major McLaughlin. The committee was addressed by Dr. Pardee and M. C. Chapman. At the end of the session the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the campaign committee of | the Republican State Executive Committee, having heard the statements of the contest- ants in Alameda County in regard to the com- ing primary election, and being fully advised in the premises, desire to commend the spirit T tender a vote of thanks to the representa- tives of the Republican party for their diligence and urbanity in the performance of their duties, as this seemed i{o be about the only compensation they were likely to receive. As Democrats they could do no less than acknowledge the worth of the men and their work. Captain Barbour then read the follow- ing resolution, which was passed in most enthusiastic fashion: Resolved. That the Republican representa- tives detailed to record the names of ali per- sons registered at this office are entitled to the thanks of the Deputy Registrars and of the citizens of San Francisco for their prompti- tade and regulartty, their courtesy and in- dustry in facilitating registration and other- wise assisting in this important work of the Deputy Registrars. THE PHENIX CLUB. Rousing Meeting Held In Scottish Hall and Stirring Addresses Made. The Pheenix Republican Club held a rousing me-’ing in Scottish Hall last night. The lower hall, in which the meet- ing took place, was 50 crowded that a large number had to remain standing and others were crowded around the entrance. The club officers have the wisdom to com- bine business with pleasure and the con- stantly increasing membership is the re- sult. s Colonel Eddy presided and kept things from gettings monotonous. During the evening Miss Viola Koegel delivered a recitation, A. Friedlander told stories, Miss Minnie Robinson and others rendered sentimental and comic songs, and telling speeches were made by William Powers and Secretary Andy Branch on protection to the industries of the country and ihe necessity of electing a Republican Presi- dent. Owing to the largely increasing attend- ance it was decided to meet in future on Thursday evenings in the large upper hall, the next meeting to be held a week from to-morrow night. The drill corps is now prepared for cam- eign work and is getting into splendid Yorm under the captainship of Tom O’Neill. The corps will present a fine appearance’, on its first turn out. The club button has been much admired and favorably com- mented nupon. This is the only club that Las a club button. Howard Rapublicans. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Howard Republican Club was held at Pythian Castle Halllast evening.

Riordan, recommended the adoption of the platform adopted by the Republican National Convention in St. Louis with the following additional plaak: Resolved, That we are opposed to the funding of the debt of the Union Pacific Railroed, and we recommend that our candidates for Con- gress be pledged to vote against any such measure. Nominations for Congressman from the Fourth District having been declared in order Secretary Stevens named H. G. W. Dinkelspiel. Mr. Stevens called attention to the fact that Mr. Dinkelspiel had not been imported into this country under a Democratic free trade system of tanff, but that he had been born upon the soil of California and had lived here all his life. He had never been guilty of any act that would bring the slightest blush upon the cheek of any honorable man. He served the people of this City in the As- sembly anc in a perfect hotbed of Demo- cratic corruption he was ever found at his post doing his duty, seeking to preserve the fair name of this State. Mr. Stevens called attention to Mr. Dinkelspiel’s literary attainments. He was a lawyer, well versed in every branch of his profession, is conversant with all of the topics of the day, understands the value and the necessity of a high protec- tive tariff and is thoroughly acquainted with every branch of the financial question. In response to a persistent call Mr. Dinkelspiel appeared upon the platform and was received with great cheering. He began by saying that he was not an orator, but he wished to say a few words as a sincere Republican. He said that he expected to enter upon this canvass with a good many obstacles in the way, but he assured his hearers that they would hear from him more than once, and that effectively before the end of the campaign, He added: ' I propose to let every candidate who is in the field know that I am up énd at them.

This committee, however, deprecates the fact that in Alameda and Solano counties the County Committee did not observe strictly the recom- mendation of the late State Convention in the selection of delegates at large, which recom- mendation was as follows: Resolved, That it is the sense of this conven- tion that ali delegaies to the county, district and State conventions of the Republican party should be selected at primaries or caucuses, regularly called by the county central com- mittees of the several counties for that pur- pose, and that only such delegates as are so selected at such primaries or caucuses shall be seated in any of the conventions of the party hereafter to be held. This committee, therefore, recommends to the county committees of both Alameda and Solano counties that the delegates at large be voted for at the coming primaries in every polling place. g 89TH REPUBLICANS. Dinkelsplel and the Entire Party Enthuslasticaily Indorsed. The Republicans of the Thirty-ninth Assembly District held a rousing meeting at Saratoga Hall last night, President John Gilson in the chair, After vhe routine work of the club had been disposed of tne following resolutions wer: introduced by Mr, Reynoids: Resolued, That we the Republicans of the Thirty-ninth Assembly District indorse the nominees, Major W. McKinley and Garret Hobart of the Republican party as made by the National Convention, and the platform upon which they stand ns being the only one by which protection to American inaustries is assured to the mechanics and workingmen of the United States; and be it further Resolved, That we do most heartily indorse the nomination of Henry G. W. Dinkelspiel for Congrgss from the Fourth Congressional District, abd we hereby pledge him and the entire Republican party our most cordial sup- port. Believing as we do that the placing of the National and municipal govermeut under Republican control will give to the people of this Nation and City a sefe and economical administration. J. J. Sullivan added the following, which was 2lso unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the Repubiican club of the Thirty-ninth Assembly District points with pride to the honesty, efficiency and integrity of C. L. Taylor, our present Superyisor irom tue Eighth Ward, believing that he hus been & faithful guardian of the people’s interests. R e i Registration Closed. When registration closed yesterday at the City Hall Charles McGreevey, one of the deputy Registrars, invited his col- leagues to remain, as it was proposed to enthusiastic members, over present. Thomas F. Graham acted as secretary. C. W. Colby, who has charge of the drill corps, reported that he was drilling the corps regularly, and in his opinion the Howard Club Drill Corps was one of the finest in the State. Fred Eggers, treasurer of theclub, stated that he Had ordered 2000 campaign buttons, which would be ready for distribution in a few days. ‘Mr. Newman introduced the speaker of the evening, Hon. William S. Barnes, who enlightened the club on the money and tanff questions and the latest political issues of the day, and explained to the club the necessity of electing Mr. McKinley President. Short speeches were made b{ Judge C. A. Low, Hon. John T. Dare, 1. Kincaid, Thomas F. Graham, E. B. Williams and others. The club was then entertained with choice selections from the Howard uartet, Kid Nelson, Silver and Wyatt, effernan and Webb, R. McCreedie an others. The Imperial Club of the Thirty- first Assembly District then marched into the hall 100 strong, and were received with great enthusiasm. J. J. Graham, the president, made a short address and pre- dicted success for the Republican ticket. The club then adjourned, with cheers for McKinley and protection. —_—— Leland Stanford Camp.

Just Go fipward a Little and There’ll Be No Dust. WHAT HAMMON FOUND. His Kites Struck Sunny Calms at Only Eighteen Hundred Feet. WE'LL KNOW OUR WINDS YET. Projrct to Measure Sea Breezes in Cubic Miles Per Minute for the Interior. Forecast Official Hammon gave some information yesterday which shows what a low, groveling life the people of San Francisco lead, albeit they vaunt much of many things. h Attached to this new reason why the spirit of 8an Francisco mortals should not be overproud is an interesting scientific discovery. This discovery relates entirely to the air. Hammon has really discovered some- thing that nobody has known before; and which is worth knowing these midsummer days, as the nasty thirty-eight-mile gales try to sweep the streets and to use the evyes of citizens for dustpans. He has dis- covered that it is but just a little way up- ward to airs that are warm and calm—not as far as from Kearny street to the City Hall. c He has sounded in an upward way the listing gales which constitute this City’s chagacteristic summer winds, and has found that the air current which sweeps in through this gap in the Coast Range whenever the interior is hot is much smaller in vertical measurement than he or anybody else who happened to think of at all has thought. Hammon has recently measured this current twice early in the afternoon. Once the sea breeze was found to be only 1800 feet deep; all the other time it was 2500 feet. This is not very deep,or rather, very high. Tamalpais rises to 2900 feet and Tamalpais is not a very long measuring pole when aerial exploration is consid- ered. So the sea breezes that rush in through the Golden Gate and over the low peninsula are but surface disturbances which San Francisco people suffer from because they are so low. Mr. Hammon’s discovery is really worthy of consideration and it 1s an important scientific discovery. In one sense Lhe discovery is a big one, and in an- other sense it isa small one, It may be the forerunner of extremely interestin, scientific discoveries, and it may be o much practical importance ir relation to the forecasting of the summer weather conditions of the great interior basin of the State, which is geographically com- posed oi the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys. It may seem peculiar, but it is neverthe- less true that the Weather Bureau may be soon measuring in cubic miles per minute the cold sea a.r that blows into this great interior basin, giving it whatever blessed degree of coolness the people therein may receive. There is;no place in the world where such a ‘pussible problem and its practical solution are possible. ! The cooling air which this vast interior basin gratefully receives in midsummer comes to it mainly through this Golden Gate gap in the Coast Range of mountains which hem in the valley from Tehachapi to Mount Shasta. This gap supplies cold sea air to the interior justabout as the | narrow Golden Gate supplies tide water to the great expanse of inland waters which comprise San Francisco, San Pablo and Suisun bays and the sloughs about them. The tide rushes in and out and its volume may be measured at the Golden Gate. In a similar way the cold sea air rushes in through this gap and the sea breezes which pour in cver the San Francisco peninsula, between Mount Tamalpais on the north and the San Bruno hills on the south, supply nearly all the cooling air which the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys receive, and determine and create the day winds in those valleys. Little if any sea air gets into these valleys over the Coast Range north and south of 8an Fran- cisco. Through the Golden Gate the sea air pours in, and it turns north in the Sac- ramento Valley, giving it southwest winds, and it turns south into the San Joaquin Valley, glving it its prevailing summer northwest winds. Neither the Weather Bureanu nor any- body else knows anything about the amount, times and character of the sea breezes that may or may not creep into this great interior basin over and through otber passes in the Coast Range. This presents a mnew and wholly unworked roblem. But it is known that the great gody of cool air which pours into the interior valley basin goes through the Golden Gate gap in which San Francisco lies. Now one may realize the importance and interest of measuring the flow of air through this gap. Thatiswhat Mr. Ham- mon is trying to do ana wants to do, and if he were able to do it daily he would be able to forcast much more accurately the weather of the interior. The problem offered is simple though imerestinf, Its solution needs a little money. If the weather forecaster could every day tell how many cubic miles of cold air per minute or hour were flowing inward he could tell more about the next day’s weather. For instance, the anemometer at the sarface gives the surface speed of the wind. But the anemometer does not tell whether the current is 1000 feet deep or 2500 feet. The tidal inflow oI water can be accu- rately measured. A horizontal section of the gap can be easily measured for any altitude. Given the speed of the wind and the height of the current and the cubic-air measurement may be made. If the cur- rent flowing in at thirty miles an hour is 1000 feet in depth the amount of cool air being supplied to the interior will be a certain percentage of that being supplied if the current is 2500 feet in depth. Now, this is one of the things Mr. Ham- mon and Mr. McAdie have been trying to getat with their kites, and it is Mr. Ham- mon’s long, somewhat discouraging but persistent experiments which have re- resulted in his two measurements of the height of the sea breeze. Botn discoveries were the result of THE Carv's interest and co-operation with Mr. Hammon's experiments. Thanks to THE CaLL Mr. Hammon has recently been en- abled to send up flocks of tandem kites and add some degrees of success to his experi- ments. On one occasion the kites went to an altitude of 2500 feet and showed that the current in which they sailed extended upward to that height. Ou the last occa- sion, a few days ago, a singular thing hap- pened. The first, or rather the last kite, rose to about 1800 feet and stopped. The second kite, hitched to the string far be- low it, also ascended to the same height and stopped. The third Kite, 300 feet still lower, itself was carried to the same level, and there all three floated cn a level at the top of one current of air like chips on a stream. Justabove the kites was a calm. In pulling the kites down into the current the increased strain was quickly perceptible as each kite was pulled into the strong wind. The fact that the sea breeze which con- stitutes San Francisco’s summer wind has been twice measured is an important meteorological discovery. What these ambitious scientists want now is a self- registering instrument, registering hu- midity, temperature and air pressure to send up with their kites and they want a little more money tospend on kites with which to explore the upper air of San Francisco and its environment. ‘Within two weeks Harvard Observatory has secured such results with kites and instruments from a height of 7000 feet. There is no place in the world better adapted to interesting aerial exploration iban Sam Francisco, and no patron of science could secure such resuits from an investment of from $100 to $500 as by de- voting it to the kite-flying of Meteorolo- ists Hammon and McAdie of the %es(her Bureau. OLYMPIC CASH. A Statement Regarding the Financial Condition of the Big Ath- letic Club. F. W. Eaton, president of the Olympic Club, was highly indignant yesterday when he read in a morning paper an arti- cle reflecting on the financial condition of the club, of which he is the presiding officer. When interviewed on the matter Mr. Eaton said substantially as follows: “It is customary, I believe, that a cer- tain class of members who are known as kickers invariably show their colors when the annual election approaches, and they take a delight seemingly in turning things topsy-turvy, I cannot see what I have done during my administration to de- serve unkind remarks. The position 1s, indeed, a thankless one, and it seems to me it matters not how much of my valu- able time 1 give to the club there is no ap- preciation coming from some of the mem- bers, who are eternally growling at every- thing the directors do in the interest and welfare of the club. “I informed my friends that I could not afford to acceot a :enomination, as I really have too much to attend to outside of club affairs. But now that I under- stand there are certain members who have openly boasted that they will defeat me in case I should change my mind, I have determined to stand my ground and wilt accept the nomination on the regular ticket, provided, of course, that the club tenders it to me. ‘I do. not propose to leave the club un- der a cloud, and you can say that there is not a word of truth in the Treports circu- lated concerning the financial condition of the club and the decrease in its mem- bership. **When the club lost money on social entertainments the directors wisely con- cluded to emulate the action of some of the great New York amateur athletic ciubs by giving professional boxing exhi- bitions. Just as soon as the announce- ment was made in the papers that the Olympic Club proposed giving a series of professional boxing contests the kickers immediately declared themselves against inaugurating any such scheme and openly said that the Olympic Club was departing from clean sport to satisfy a few dis- gruntled members who wanted slogging entertainments. “Now, then, you can see the position I was placed in. The club concocted the boxing scheme with only one object in view, and that object was to increase the funds of the institution, which, 1 am pleased to say, we succeeced in doing. “We lost money on every amateur ath- letic venture; then why not give enter- tainments that please the members and swell the fund- of the club? “The members we dismissed because of non-payment of dues have no reason to complain. They were notified repeatedly and made no effort to settle up. The falling off in the membership is easily ac- counted for. It must be remembered that owing to the depression in business affairs many of the young members were unable to pay their dues, as their salaries had been trimmed, and the resignations, conse- quently, came principally from that ele- ment. “Now, then, you will see that the follow- Bubbles.

The best rem- edy for eruptions, scrofula, sores; and all blood diseases, is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. 1 ing statement relative to the financial condition ot the institution is somewhat at variance with the report which aps peared in a morning paper.’” Mr. Eaton’s report reads: Surplus September 1, 1895. ..8107,706 75 Surplus July 1, 1896.. veeo 105,248 O1 PR, oianesvoneionisaaopsans .. $2,460 74 Includes $655 bonds purchased.
