He asked that the manner in which the delegates shall be selected be left to the various county committees, a proposition that would leave the Gould-Alford-McNab trium- virate in the full possession of their stolen authority in this city. The subject seemed to be too tender to admit of any controversy or discussign, so it was gropped as soon as the “‘whispering” boss had sufficiently pointed out the dangers that lay in the path of permitting the Democratic voters of this city to have a Voice in the selection of delegates to rep- resent them at the State Convention. Mitchel of Los Angeles wanted it un- derstood that the emocrats of the southern city wanted to select their dele- gates by primary election. He pressed a susplcion in the mind of Fitzgerald. The gentleman from Alameda said thgt he was not acquainted with the sftuatfon in Los Angeles, but he was not in favor of taking any steps that would force upon the Demcerats of that city conditions that were not acceptable to them. This seemed to be the general opinion, and a resolution was adopted directing county committees to take charge of the selec- tion of delezates and recommending that primaries be held wherever possible. Governor Budd Introduced a resolution providing fc a meeting of the com- mittee before the date of the State Con- tion for the purpose of formulating a f primary plan for submission to the con- vention and for the additional purpose of | considering rules for the future govern- WARM UP TOTHE- OGOAS Bdpe ment of the State Committee.

The police are still seeking for the watch supposed to have been taken from the room of Sadie Carpenter the night she was murdered. One of Chief Lees’ gleuths is also keeping a close watch of Joe Lochner, and he will not be allowed to leave the city for a while. Although nothing has been found against the Ger- man, the nolice still belleve he is the murderer. Lochner 18 a homeless outcast. All his former friends and n(‘iunlntance! have cut him, and he {s not allowed to frequent his old haunts. When he was released from prison he went to the Hubbard House, but was refused accommodaticns. Proprietor Raulet was notified by his tenants that they would all leave if Loch- ner was permitted to lodge in _the build- ing. He took his belongings and departed, and as he is without money or friends it is_not known where he sleeps. Mrs. Anderson, Sadie’s mother, return- ed to Mcn(preY yesterday morning. She will apply for letters of administration in Monterey County on the estate of the de- ceased. Nothing has been learned re- fanllng the whereabouts of H. 8. Carpen- er. —_————————— In the Divorce Courts, Mrs. Sue M. Peck was granted a di- vorce from Charles N. Peck yesterday on the ground of infidelity. Carrie E. White was granted a divorce from An- drew White on the ground of willful neg- lect. Della C. Wilkes was divorced from Alpha J. Wilkes on the ground of willful neglect. The plaintiff was allowed to re- sume her maiden name, Hiatt. Nellia Phillips has sued her husband, S. A, Phil- lips, for a divorce, alleging cruelty as a cause of action. Mrs. Catherine J. Whelan secured a di- vorce from Charles J. Whelan yesterda, on the ground of desertion. The pla!nti; was allowed to resume her maiden name, Asmussen, and was granted the custody qf her minor child. FOR PURPOSES OF ANNEXATION Phila- Sailing of the delphia for Hawa TROUBLE ON THE ARIZONA SAILORS’ UNION OBJECTS TO HER CHINESE CREW. Mariposa Brings News of Annexation of the Santa Cruz and Duff Groups of Islands by England. The Philadelphia got away for Hono- lulu at 3 p. m. yesterday. Early in the morning Rear-Admiral Miller transferred ship and a salute of thirteen guns was fired. From that on everything went with a rush on the Philadelphia, and at 2:30 p. m. she was ready for a start. A last launch was sent ashore to gather up the last of the #nail and any stragglers. Half an hour later everything was ready for a start. The anchor was up, a full head of steam was on the boilers, and at 3:05 p. m. the crulser was on her way to the flag-raising which is to take place at Honolulu. Passing the naval reserve steamer Marion the admiral was saluted with thirteen guns, and the gunners on the Philadelphia replied. Alcatraz and Black Point followed suit and then Fort Point took it up, so the last thing the men on the cruiser heard as they passed out through boom of cannon. As soon as the American flag has been hoisted over the Hawalian Islands the men on the Philadelphia are in hopes that their vessel will be sent on to Manila. The repairs to the gunboat Yorktown are now almost completed, and it is thought that as soon as she is ready she will be sent to Honolulu to relieve the Philadelphia and the latter will be sent to join Dew- ey's squadron at Manila. The trouble over the Chinese crew the transport Arizona is not yet settled by any manner of means. It appears that their retention by the United States Gov- ernment was part of the agreement when the vessel was sold. At any rate they are retained on the vessel and will go out on her when she sails for Manila by orders from the powers that be at Washington, Yesterday Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the Coast Seamen’s Union, called upon Captain Robinson, U. 8. A., in regard to the matier. The captain conducted the negotiations for the purchase of the ves- sel on behalf of the United States, and Mr. Furuseth went to him because he had control of the matter. A very heated ar- ument follow and the Jnion’s secreta said, among other things, that it was un-American to em- ploy Chinese cheap labor when there Wwere plenty of good American sallars to be had for the asking. At this Caprain Robinson got angry, and he is reported to have said that he wasn't going to be bull- dozed by any labor union in the country That he was as good an American as any man in the United States and that he would run his own business to suit him- self and without outside interference. “The Chinese crew of the Arizona was shipped by me under orders from Wash- ington and they will remain on the ves- sel until 1 get orders from the same source to discharge them,” said he, as he | frowned Mr. Furuseth out. | The seamen have not given the matter up by any means, and a committee has | been ‘appointed to interview Congressman Maguire, and through him have a strong representation of the case sent to Wash- “lfm"' Mr. Furuseth says that no stone will be left unturned to prevent a vessel owned by the United States, and In use as a transport, being manned by Chinese labor. Captain Walter S. Milnor, who brought the Arizona from Puget Sound to this port, left last night for Seattle and Cap- tain Robinson leaves to-day also for the same place. The latter will examine the new tr.ln.?mr(s Athenian and Tartar, and Captain Milnor will bring one of them to San Francisco. been issued by the Lighthou “The steam whistle on §: e Inspector: F 0 his flag from the Albatross to the war-| the Golden Gate was the | of | Seamen’s | The following notice to mariners hnsl ADVERTISEMENTS. —— e I DOES NOT WANT A SUI J.

When | the local merchants appealed to the Mer- | chants’ Assoclation for support in their | protest against the injustice and the lat- | ter body decided to fight the corporation in the Federal courts, Mr. Valentine made haste to call upon the officers of the as- | sociation and request that they postpone | taking such steps until similar cases | | should be decided In the courts of the| East. Several interviews were held by | him with the officers of the body, and | yesterday he was glven permission to ad- | dress the board of directors at a special Wrong!

Prior to the meeting Mr. Valentine ad- | dressed a long letter to Acting President | Baldwin, inclosing a clipping from a rail- | road paper—the Railway Age—which, of | course, takes the position that the tax upon common carriers should be pald by | the people, and not by the corporations. | | In cdoncluding the letter he says: We respect the right of private judgment, prize the good opinfon of the public and de- sire the good will of the community which, te the contention now perhaps l“fltur\)irkl dinary even flow, we claim to deserve and hope ever to enjoy.

Captain Ward reported all well aboard the transport, and put aboard the Mariposa a packagé of mail for San Franeisco. he Mariposa brought up 81,250,000 in treasure and a large number of pasengers. One of the latter was E. Kinath, from Apia. He was a member of the Sophie Sutherland expedition, and nearly died from_ malarial fever in the Solomon group.

The Board of Electior Commissioners met yesterday and resumed the work of selecting precinct registration officers. When the board adjourned last evening selections had been made in all but three Assembly districts. The work will be re- sumed this morning, but it will not be completed in time to have a report ready to present when the commission meets at J1 o'clock to transact the usual routine interfor of an isiland, where it was im- possible to get at. The Sutherland is now | out sixteen days from Apia, and tae only | ones left aboard of all who sailed from this port on her are Captain Alec Mc- Lean and a man named Higgins. The Mariposa brings the news that the British crufser Mohawk had raised the Enafl:h flag over the Santa Cruz and Duff groups of islands. These were the only unannexed islands in the southern seas, and thinking some one else might claim them England seized the lot. They lle between the Solomons and New Hebrides, and are of more strategical value than anything else. The Santa Cruz group is composed of seven large Islands and the Duff or Wilson group of eleven. The natives are cannibals, and will al- ways be remembered for the murder of Bishop Patteson and Commodore Good- business. Commissioners Broderick and Creswell stated last evening that it was likely that the names of the precinct registration officers selected would not be made known until Friday.
