Convention Delegates Have an Ex- cursion and Elect Officers. The closing day of the eighth annual convention of the State Typographical Union was begun yesterday morning by an excursion on the bay under the per- conal supervision of J. J.

Wehner, secretary affillated trades, J. G. Rickard. During the trip patriotic songs were sung, short speeches were made and re- freshments, bearing the union label, were enjoyed. The run included a visit to the Union Iron Works, through the Golden Gate and the Raccoon Stralts. A pretty feature of the trip was the salutations ex- changed with the outbound Columbia, whose American flag was three times run | up as the excursionists on the Governor Markham gave three cheers for Old Glory and the successful termination of the war with Spain. The officers elected at the afternoon ses- sion are: President, A. J. Read, Oakland No. 36; vice president, F. E. Caler, San Francisco Pressmen's Union No. 24; sec- y-treasurer, M. A.
