AT SESSION AT SHIELS HALL SBENATOR E. I. WOLFE THE ONLY OPPOSING CANDIDATE. M. H. de Young, D. M. Burns and the Sopthern Pacific Turned Down by the District Delegates. The Republicans of the Fifth Con- gressional District yesterday nominated | Hon. Eugene F. Loud for their candi- date for Congress. His opponent before Ex-State Senator Frank McGowan presented the nameof Edward 1. Woife. He spoke of the new era in political affairs and the necessity for the in- fusion of young blood. Gold standard of money and protection of industry were established, and new questions of territorial expansion and commercial patriotism had arisen to demand the attention of statesmen. He belleved that Mr. Wolfe would fitly represent In Congress the new ideas. E. A. Bergerot seconded the nomina- tion of Mr. Wolfe. Ira G. Hoitt, whose recollection of 3yronic verse has been dulled since he moved from San Francisco to San Mateo County, remarked that he was ltkke a young lady with two suitors — “How happy he would be with either were ‘tother dear charmer away.’ He knew Mr., Loud and Mr. Wolfe as worthy and capable Republicans. He fancied that Senator Wolfe was needed in the Leg- ature to help in the election of a Re- publican United States Senator. AMr. Louc minent services in Congre: were cited, and the convention w asked to uphold the hands of the ad- ministration by renominating the able representative of the ¥ifth District. On motion nominations were closed. P. B. Cornwall and I G. Truman de- sired that the candidates should ad- dress the delegates, but the convention decided in favor of proceeding at once to the ballot. The ballot resulted in Loud getting | ninety-nine and Wolfe seventeen votes. San Mateo cast nine votes for Loud. Santa Clara County gave Loud thirty- one and Wolfe two votes. HON. EUGENE F. LOUD. The Republican Nominee for Congress From the Fifth Congressional District. the nominating convention was State Senator Edward 1. Wolfe. For several days immediately preced- ing the assembling of the convention the most strenuous efforts were put | forth to defeat Mr. Loud. Delegates who were pledged to his support by the people who elected tt were sought out and urged to vote against him. The prime movers in the plan to accomplish Loud's defeat were M. H. de Young, Dan M. Burns and the Southern Pacific | Rallroad corporation. Leading dele- gates to the convention were inter- viewed and urged to join the movement to turn down Mr. Loud. The friends of Mr. Loud were at first | fnolined to treat the rumors of oppo- | sition to his renomination as idle talk without foundation in fact, but as one delegate after another toid the story that the Southern Pacific and Burns had joined De Young in a crusade against the Congressman the reports could no longer be regarded as trivial . gossip. The plans so adroitly laid and vigor- ously supported did not win. The op- position succeeded in rallying only seventeen votes in support of Senator Wolfe. The convention was called to order in Shiels | Hall at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. J. Alva Watt was elected chairman and B. D. Crawford was chosen as secretary. Little time was consumed in preliminaries. When the chair announced that nominations were in order William A. Beasly of San Jose stepped to the platform and presented to the assembled delegates the name of Hon. Eugene F. Loud. Mr. 1 ., HOITY Oc SAN MATEQ SECONDED LOUDS NOMimaT gn- + Beasly did not affect oratorical poses or aspire to great flights of eloquence, but in a simple, persuasive style set forth the merits of his candidate. Teference was made to Mr. Loud's long and honorable service in Congress. Special mention was made of Mr. Loud's devotion to the interests of the fruit growers and producers of the Santa Clara Valley. Tribute was paid to the Congressman'’s loyalty to Repub- | fifth nomination for Congress and Before the result was announced E. A. Bergerot moved that Mr. Loud's nomination be declared unanimous, and the motion prevailed. When the applause subsided there were many calls for Mr. Loud. He went | a model | made Speaking of his his year to the platform and speech of acceptance. Congressional service of eight he remarked that the duties of the po- | sition were not always pleasant, but | the pleasure of again vecelving the in- dorsement of the convention amply re- paid him for the trials he had sus- tatned. He pictured the deplorable con- dition of the Democratic party to-day. A party with a hard money record of a century was now taking its orders trom the Populists. Nominations were YOUuR pOIN] Of OROER 1S NOT WELL lans~'sap Cua-gman ey . Tarers dictated by the Populists. He ad- monished Republicans not to deceive themselves with the idea that they would have a walk-over this year. The oppasition was peculiar, but it was ac- tive.. The Democrats, while indorsing and commending the administration of President McKinley, were opposing the Republican party. “The Republican party,” observed Mr. Loud, “has & record that it canwell be proud of. We promised the people two years ago to bring order out of chaos. Have we kept our promise? We have conducted a war to successful conclusion, and to-day there is the sum of $206,000,000 in the public treasury. Never before in history did the United States stand so firmly, so grandly and splendidly before the naticns of the world as to-day. The most serious questions now confront us. There is an American _spirit of patriotism and commercialism which demands that wherever the American flag is raised it shall never be torn dvwn. To govern the new acquisitions will require wis- dom and experience.”” In closing Mr. Loud pledged to do his full duty to the best of his ability in case of his re-election to Congress. Senator Wolfe, responding to calls, went to the platform and promised tnat his voice should be heard in Mr. Loud's behalf during the campaign. He pre- Aicted the re-election of Mr. Loud and the complete triumph of Republican rinciples. P h‘ollgwlng are the names of the men appointed by Congressman E. F.

WITHDRAWS HIS CANDIDACY WANTED THE NOMINATION FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. | Miss Bessle Wood Woutd Like to Be | the Next Coroner—Other Can- | didates Who Are in the Field. Oakland Office Ban Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 13. Only seven days more and then the mo- mentous question of who shall represent the Republicans of Alameda in the next county government and the next Legisla- ture will be settled. The appearance of the streets to-day | suggested that the convention was actu- ally being held on Broadway, and prob- ably the appearance was not as deceptive as such are usually said to be. The ap- proach of the convention.naturally in- creases the interest and the self-confl- dence of many so freely expressed a week ago Is now being prefaced with an “if.” Justice Fred Clift, who entered the con- test for the nomination of District At- torney three months ago, announced his withdrawal this morning. In his pub- lished statement he gives five reasons why he withdraws. He declares that his can- didacy 1s obnoxious to the Southern Pa- cific Rallroad “and Henry Dalton, who | have formed a political alliance for mu- tual aid, profit, advantages and protec- " Without offering any proof Judge 's that the entire county and Leg- | islative” ticket from top to bottom has been programmed. In_his third reason he says: “The Third Ward, in which I have resided since childhood, 1is_pro- grammed n the interests of Mr. de Young for United States Senator, and I have been informed that I shall not be per- mitted toave a delegation there unless such delegation is put up with my money, and In the interest of Henry Dalton and the railroad company.” There is also a reference to some unnamed candidate who, it is said, is “faithful among the faithless” and who is to be thrown down by *‘one who is not and never has been a | Republican.” In conclusion, Judge Clift says he realizes that he cannot beat the influences that are at work against him. The retirement of Clift leaves the fleld open to Justice J. J. Allen and Prosecut- ing Atto Melvin, The usual bitter contest for the nomina- tion for Coroner is daily becoming more apparent. James Taylor, an undertaker, months ago announced that if he were elected he would donate all the fees earned by the Coroner to the Assoclated Charitfes. Dr. Mehrmann is after the Republican nomination. Miss Bessie Wood also makes a pid for officlal favors. She would like to” be Coroner and declares that if she were elected to the high office of Coroner, she would present every juror that sat {on an inquest under her administration | with a red necktie as a memento of the | occasion. Another sensation was caused by ublic announcement as decided to go before the county as an the | delegation and was Iurgclz street rallroad men, but he now declares that he prefers to go before the people | as an independent Republican than to | seek a nomination from the convention. “lerk Jordan has been indorsed every attorney in the county, leading bankers and merchants also signed a testimonial to his backed by the The Bimetallic League has announced that next Friday evening Mon.

The Third Ward Republican Club_will meet to-morrow night and will indorse Judge Allen for District Attorney. Next | Friday night the club will give a “'smoker."” The Alameda County Bimetallic League met to-night to arrange for the Magulre meeting next Friday. A committee con- filwlln? of President F. W.

Keller, “Mayor of Piedmont,” will furnish the tropical plants with which the tabernacle is to be decorated. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the candldacy of Judge Maguire for Governor and John Aubrey Jones for Congressman the Third Congressional District, and pledging the support of the league. It was declared the sense of the league that a fusion of the Democratic, Populistic and Sflver Republican parties on county candidates i{s desirable. Before adjourn- ment John Aubrey Jones made a brief address in which he admitted that he could not win his fight single handed, and that the doctrine of 16 to 1 is as live as ever it was, DEMOCRATIC LEADERS CONFER.

When Acting Chairman T D. Riordan called the Republican County Committee to order in Shiels bullding last night there were few vacant chairs in the nall. In- terested spectators crowded the standing space and took keen interest in the busi- ness of the meeting. Immediately upon the adoption of the minutes of the previous session Delegate Harry N. Gray arose and moved that the regular order of business be suspended and that the vacancy caused by the death of Chairman Charles Manwaring be fllled. The motion was carried, and Jesse 1. Marks told of the fitness of Mr. Riordan for the position and of the splendid work he had done for the party in the past. The name of the acting chairman was re- celved with great applause, and he was unanimously selected to act as permanent head of the committee. Delegate ituefl introduced Mr. Riordan, and the latter responded, thanking the delegates for their courtesy and assuring them that he would act lm?urxlafly during his term of office and with a view to alding the ticket to victory. A bill for $35 for a floral plece sent to the family of the late chairman was as- sumed by Mr. Riordan. Other bills were turned over to the finance committee for approval. On motion of Mr. Ahern, the chairman appointed the following gentlemen to pre- pare a call for a primary election: Twenty-eighth District, James Daly; Twenty-ninth, J. J. Glynn; Thirtieth, C.

Cal. s DALTON MAKES REPLY. 1Says That Justice Clift’s Charges Are Untrue and the Utterances of a Disappointed Man. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Sept. 12. Assessor Dalton made the following re- ply to Justice Clift to-night: “Judge F. C. Clift has announced his withdrawal as .a candidate for the office of District Attorney of Alameda County. In the same card “he has made very free with my name, and has accused me of having en- tered into a political combination with the rallroad. To this agcusation of Judge Clift I have but this to say. The con- test I have made against the Southern Paclfic during the four years I have been Assessor of Alameda County will, I think, make the assertion made aggeu what it really is, a foolish one, made by a dis- appofmed candidate for office. In spite of his bold assertions to the contrary, Judge Clift was, up to within the last two or three days, verY eager to have me enter into a political combination with him. When I refused to do so he threatened me with his political wrath and the wrath of all his friends. And It now appears that all he can do is to scold and make idle accusations, endeavoring by this means to make It appear that he is the only pure candidate for office in this | county, and that all the others are crea- tures of the machine and the servants of the railroad. In view of all the circum- stances surrounding my past record, in Alameda County, and also Judge Clift's, 1 do not think it necessary for me to en- ter any very strong denial of the Judge's charges; and I shall not do so. Suffice it to say, they are untrue. “HENRY P. DALTON.” —_——————— Their Votes in the Balance. Registrar Biggy has prepared a list of 650 names of persons who are presumed to be lllegally registered, inasmuch as they have failed to respond, first to a postal card of inquiry, and, second, to a citation to explain their registrations. The Registrar states that these persons will be given a last opportunity to appear be- fore the Election Commissioners next Thursday and Friday, failing which their names will be stricken from the register, The list is classed as ‘‘non-resident,” and includes no known ‘‘removals” from one recinct to another.

ANOTHER PACHECO COMEDY MILK WEITE FLAG WAVES AGAIN AT THE COLUMBIA. “Carmen” at the Tivoli—Some Vau- deville Changes—Stirring Melodrama at the Grand. After an absence of nearly two years, during which we have been filled with all sorts of silly storifes about her fading art and general unhealth, Mod- Jeska appeared at the Baldwin Theater last night and played Mary Stuart as she alone of living actresses can play the part. In the minds of the cultivated play- goers of America Modjeska and Mary Stuart are names that are inseparable. If there is one part in Modjeska’s wide ranging repertory that stands alone it is the unfortunate Queen of Scots in the Schiller play, to whom she gives an identify that is absolute, unfoggetable. At this late day it is fortunate for the stage that new criticisms need not be written for this performance. Perhaps the years have softened Modjeska's temperament, made her personal power a something less than it used to be; but she is still Modjeska and the most distinguished woman artist on the Eng- lish-speaking stage. The fragrance, mimetic grace, spirituality and sov- ereign poise that she brought to Mary Stuart last night have been unknown Qualities in the local theater for many months—ever since her last visit. In fact in both temperament and execu- tion she can be compared only with herself of other years—and in “Mary Stuart,” at least, the comparison need not shatter the fondest illusions. Mr. Lonergan seems to be the only one of the old company who has been retained, and in the heroic part of Mortimer he does good work—especial- ly good when you take into account that he must suffer a comparison with his brilllant predecessor, Joseph Ha- worth., Mr. Hermann, who is remem- bered for many a rugged feat in com- pany with Frederick Warde, unbends gracefully to the Earl of Leicester; and Miss Anna E. Proctor plays the Queen Elizabeth with that unflinching malev- olence which seems ever to be a tradi- tion of the part. As a whole, the sup- porting company is easy, human, well clad and tremendously in earnest— nothing sensational about it, but just the band from whom it is reasonable to expect good repertory work. The attendance was fair last night and promises larger for the rest of the week. When Modjeska made up her mind to adopt the land of the free and the tongue of the Englander she chose this remote town for the starting point. And San Francisco has yet to be ac- cused of forgetting the obligation. ASHTON STEVENS. The Tivoli. The sparkling, fascinating “Carmen” of Bizet drew a crowded house to the com- mencement of the seventh week of grand opera at the Tivoli last night. Rhys Thomas as the jealous brigadier was at his best: he was especially well recelved in the duet of the second act. Miss Linck, in the title role, showed once more that she is a sterling singer besides being an exceptionally clever ac- tress. The same can always be sald of Sig. de Vries, who evoked storms of ap- plause as the toreador. Willlam West, as the smugglar, did a strong character bit; and Mr. Schuster and Miss Crox in the E’ar" of Michaela and Zuniga dld well, he chorus was hardly up to its usual excellence. “La Traviata” is the bill for to-night. The Alhambra. Corinne, Signor Del Puente and Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Drew seem to be cards that cannot be played too often to a San Francisco audience. The remainder of the attractions are meritorious, and there i8 a heap of fun in the cake waik in which the evening's entertainment is wound up. The auditorfum is cool and well ventilat- ed, and contained last night an audience that was thoroughly representative. Morosco’s. “The Land of the Living,” a melodrama that had a big run in one of the London theaters, was produced last evening at Morosco's Grand Opera House, with Miss Gertrude Foster, Landers Stevens and Max Von Mitzel in the leading parts. The?’ were well recelved, as was little Rosle. Bennett, who formed one of the central figures in a happy household that had been disrupted through the schemes of a villain whose main object is to create set. “The Coast Guard” will be presented next week, and for this the aterman s‘ls}arss have been engaged for their spe- cialties. At the Columbia. Heroic deeds in hostile lands have, for the time being, at least, placed our guards- men beyond the reach of satirical thrusts, larity of Hoyt's “A Milk White Flag,” which is on this week at the Columbia, and, as the house was full to the doors last’ evening, promises to enjoy its usual run. The piece has been produced In this city several times before, many who were In the audlence in past days went last night and enjoyed it anew. New cos- tumes and scores of witticisms, born of the recent war, give it an up-to-date flavor. John W. Dunne, The Colonel, “who Napoleon resembled,” does capital work. Miss Mary Marble is petite and clever as ever, and Miss Marie Dantes as the widow, and the company in general, win the approval of the au- dience. The Alcazar. A double bill was presented at the Alca- zar last night to a crowded house. “A Tragedy,” which proved to be a farce, the audience in a hilarious condition, wa: the first on the biil. The cast (‘ompr!' Ernest_lastings, George Osbourne, Wal- lace Shaw, Clarence Montaine, Frank Denithorne, Francis Yale, Gretchen Ly- ons, Marie Howe, Edna Ewen and Jullet Crosby, who all made the best of their parts. “The First Born” was as strong an attraction as ever. Chutes. Cotton and Moll, triple horizontal bar performers, are now at the Chutes Free Theater, and give a clever and exciting exhibition. Oro Clifford and Oro give an Irish-Chinese sketch, “Fun in a Chinese Laundry,” that amused the large crowd of first-nighters, ana Emit cChevrial, trick violinist, was also new and made a hit. The nine scenes of a Spanish bull fight are about the best things in the way of moving pictures yet seen here, fln(i] the rest of the bill was up to the standard established in the Haight-street grounds. New Comedy. “A Woman’s Wit" was “written to order” by Mrs. Pacheco, and for some reason, not stated, was rejected. Its orig- inzl production at the New Comedy The- ater last night proved conclusively that it was hurriedly constructed and not up to the standard the authoress establish- ed for her work when she wrote “In- cog.” The story of the ridiculously jeal- ous husband is as old as the domestic relation, and some of the situations sup- posed to lead up to the solution of the family troubles through ‘“‘woman’s wit" are unnatural and result in the kind of laugh that is not sought by the players. Unger better conditions the play could be made much more acceptable, and the humor of some of the lines and compli- cations brought out in a manner to de- velop the intended fun. The role of the suspected wife ig not suited to the abilitles of Carina Jordan, and it is unfortunate that she was se- lected for-the part, as it calls for par- ticularly clever work. Mr. St. Maur, as the green-eyed husband, could put more sincerity in his work and thereby greatly improve the star part, which of neces- sity demands very careful handling to avold going to the extreme of carica- ture. Hattle Schell, as the eccentric and witty young woman who cheats the di- vorce court of a (‘ast, carries the hon- ors in a part which in the third act is hard to_reconcile to things natural. George Probert as the French count, Kate Vandenhoff as the silly lovesick old malid, and Brigham Royce as the lover who had nothing in particular to do, did well in their labors to lend pleasure to the occasion. The Orpheum. With the new acts and changes by the holdovers, the Orpheum has a fine bill for this week. The chic little artist, Bessie Bonehill, was well received, d hers is one of the few acts that will gtow on the cople. Before she leaves this city she is ikely to score one of the greatest hits of the Orpheum. Hines and Kemington have an act that has the merit of originality, if nothing more, but in their line they are artists. The character work by Miss Remington is particularly clever.” Favor and Sinclair have a new act.of merit, and while Irene Franklin's quaint volce is set to new songs. Felix Morris and company appear in *“The Old Musician.” While tais act may not appeal to the gallery to the degree that did "‘A Game of Cards,” yet it is one of the richest vaudeville treats the Orpheum has offered. Olympia. Conlin and Rider, comedy acrobats; Anita_ Allen, singing soubrette, Madeline and Trixeda and others scored a hit at the Olympia Music-hall last night.
