After that is donre the voters decide between the two.” There is Dr. Pardee’s own statement published In his own paper—a plain declaration that he will t trust his friends in the clubs to select men who will remain faithful to him. And tk aforesaid club members are exce: wroth thereat. All their labc been in vain. They have spent their time and money, have buttonholed their friends and lifted up their volces in gladsome shouts for the doctor, and in return are told that their work is not appreciated, that their voices have not the true ring. They are denied even the poor pri ege of naming thé men they would have represent them in their party’s council. The sentiment in favor of an unin- structed delegation has grown rapidly to-day and it will continue to grow among those who have been classed as Pardee supporters if the doctor persists in his determination to stoop to the jolitics of the ward o his ek to condu s according to his own eda is leading the and there seems to be abl plan to check Alamedans to dictation of the )ss and pe: esentatiy t the pri small the from the with gubernatorial aspira- 1t action of the Parde n in the county committe€ last Mon- day in tion w ciliate regard to Robinson’s not at all calculated to con- Republicans on the south stuary.

Now . the return for this fealty on the part of the ex-committee- man was the a: rance of the support of Dr.-Pardee’s paper in his fight for the homination for the Tax Collector- ship; and naturally the Alamedans do not. take kindly to the turning down of their own man, Barber, by the doctor’s ;personal organ. It is not surprising that they find their enthusiasm for Par- dee waning and the sentiment in favor of an uninstructed delegation to Sac- ramento growing in proportion in their town. The past week has brought another | turn in the situation that promises fresh trouble, and plenty of it, for Par- dee. When Victor Metcalf entered the lists for the Third Congressional nomi- nation he devoted all his energies to keeping that fight entirel separate from all other entanglements. It was through Metcalf’s efforts that the - e Vi 0ld a- | county committee voted to hold sepa- | fpg'in favor of reliable people, “This I8 a victory for Mrs. Prescott, as it | arries the presumption that the aileged acte on her part making her an Improper to elect delegates to the he has steadfast- into any rate primarie two conventions, and ly refused to enter Metealf atmd his supporters watch the growing signs of a rapprochement be- tween Hilborn and Pardee. The Third Congressional District Republican con- vention will contain 112 delegates, of which Alameda County will contribute sixty-nine, or eleven more than a ma- jority of the whole. There is no dis- guising -the fact that Metcalf has this county splendidly organized in every precinct, with an executive committee of foremost Republicans in the county who are devoting their entire time and- energies -to furthering Mr. *alf’s intere These men have stead- stly refused to mix u{: with any other 1t, but have worked out NUTS.

The German ship Henry Clement ar- rived at Santa Rosalla on July 26 from Hamburg. She was 2% days making the passage, and 50 per cent reinsurance was paid on her. In his report the captain says the vessel's hull was coated with a new anti-foullng paint before leaving Hamburg, and instead of keeping the ves- sel clean it gathered every barnacle in the Atlantic and Pacific. In consequence the Henry Clement became unmanageable and could only be steered when it was blow- ing a gale. Hence the long voyage. The new schooner Queen of the Isles, bullt for the. Caroline Islands trade, is to be fitted with auxiliary machinery by the Union Gas Engine Company. The en- gines are to be fifty horse power and | are expected to drive the vessel at a speed of ten knots. A four horse power to be put aboard the vessel.

People from nearly every section of the city attended in‘large num- bers and showed thelr appreciation of the | efforts of those under whose auspiees the entertainment was given by the unusual patronage. The programme presented was entertain- ing and Instructive, there being many se- | | lections of unusual merit. Amon its | various features was a soprano solo by Miss Margaret Ryan and another by Miss ’F nces Hausman, various character spe- | cialties by Master Fay Doughtery and a | number of popular songs by Miss Rose | Bennet, assisted by her sister Miss Belle | Bennet. | The interest and enthusiasm manjfest- ed by the general public in the coming bazaar which will be held in the last part of next month seem to increase as the time for its formal, opening grows ne As it s the first tife that the clergy of | St. Patrick’s Church have asked for as- | sistance in making the ne re pairs to the old edifice on Mi: the fundamental object of the bazaar— “atholics a whole and even those out- | side the faith scem to have and are tak- | ing an active interest in furthering tho | object contemplated.

A NEW PHASE IN THE EMERIC CASE SPECIAL ADMINISTRATOR A. C. FREESE RESIGNS. Could Not Get Control of All the | Property - Without Bringing Suit, So He Quit. Public Administrator Freese now re- grets that he entered the legal arena as an opponent ‘to Lorena Myrtle Barbier, who anxiously sought for special letters of administration on the estate of her | deceased ‘sister, Eugenie Emeric. Acting | on the suggestion of Harry Emeric, hus- band of the decedent, and his attorney, | Frank H. Gould, Freese vigorously op: posed the application of Miss Barbier and | came out victor.. Flushed with his suca | cess he turned for further aid to Kmerié | | and his attorney, who had been instru- | mental in his appointment, . and askéd them to turn over: the control and | management of properties belonging to | the estate situated in Contra Costa Coun- ty. His application was refused, how- ever, but Emeric and counsel insisted that the administrator make a demand on Miss Barbier for some $10,000 worth of diamonds and $i000 worth ' .of personal | property which belonged to Mrs. Emeric | in her iife time. Freese insisted that he | should have entire control of .the .estate, which was denied.him, and rather than sue those who had placed him in the po- sition of special admirnistrator of the es tate, he handed in his resignation to Judge Troutt yesterday. -It was accept- | | ed and a new administrator must be ap- | | pointed at once. The application of Miss | Barbier is still before the court and! Thursday it will be heard. It is hardly likely, however, that Miss Barbier will be | granted special letters, as Judge Troutt | | held, when he appointed Freese, that, ow- | ing to the clash of Interest and the con- test between Emeric and Miss Barbier, | | an unbiased administrator should be ap- | | pointed to act until the conclusion of | litigation, — e Assessor Bailey Won.
