The Hon. Robert N. Bulla of this county has, by his wise and honorable action as a member of the Assembly and State Senate, by his ability, success and reputation at- tained in his profession and by his constant adherence to the principles of our party, demonstrated his fitness to per- form with credit to his countr volving upon a United States Senator, and we commend him as a candidate for that high office to the people of this State, and especially to the people of Southern California, as a man who, if elected, while doing wisely his whole duty by the State, is especially fitted by his intimate knowledge of our ¢ needs, his personal inclinations and loyalty to his neighbors Southern California; and we hereby instruct our legislative . nominees to vote for him for that high and responsible and his party the duties de- advance every interest of LR R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R AR R AR R R AR R R R R R R R R R R the foregoing | tude for the earnest efforts my friends have put forth in my behalf.

Work and others to have the resolution pass as read. friends of Senator Bulla wanted, and a motion was made to amend the report to the effect that the legislative nomi- nees of Los Angeles County be in- structed to vote for Senator Bulla for United States Senator. During the debate on the question, Senator Bulla was called on for a speech, and was greeted with prolonged applause as he took the platform, and in an impressive manner reviewed his past services to the party and to the people whom he has served for three terms in the Legislature of the State. Senator Bulla left the platform amid tremendous applause, and on the vote being taken the amendment instruct- ing the legislative nominees to vote for Senator Bulla for United States Sena- tor was carried by at least two-thirds of the delgates of the convention. The report of the committee on reso- lutions was then adopted as amended without a dissenting vote. The convention heartily indorsed the Republican platform adopted in the State convention at Sacramento and commend to the voters of the State Henry T. Gage as a true, independent and loyal citizen, who would, if elected, perform the dutles of his office with | fidelity, justice and impartiality. The convention also indorsed Russell J. Waters, the nominee for Congress in the Sixth District, and pledged the; legislative nominee to vote for a United States Senator from Southern Califor- nia. The platform declares against the participation of any Federal or other officer or deputy in any political con- vention or to act on any political com- mittee. It favors the establishment of & civil service commission and the re- ducti of the salaries of all officers that are now out of proportion to the services rendered. The County Committee is instructed to adopt the Australian system of bal- loting by delezates at future Repub- lican conventions. The people of the county are con- gratulated on the progress made to- ward the construction of San Pedro harbor. The jpatience and endurance of the Beventh California Regiment, despite its disapnointments at being kept at home when fighting was going on at the front, is commended and a warm welcome is assured the boys upon their return to Los Angeles. The warmest thanks of the Repub- lican convention is tendered the noble women composing the Red Cross So- clety for their tireless devotion to and unbounded symnrathy for the soldlers of the late war, whose sufferings they have done so much to alleviate. The evening session of the conven- tion was opened by the nomination for Sheriff, and the following named were placed before the convention as candi- dates: John Burr, incumbent; John T. Haddock, George B. McLain, John . Cline and Will A, Hammell. On the first ballot there was no choice, Hammell leading, with Cline second, McLain third and Burr fourth. Burr and McLain were withdrawn before the second ballot, the result of which was the nomination of Hammell, he recetv- ing 417 votes, 40 more than a majority.

HEALDSBURG, Sept. 18.—A fatality occurred yesterday afternoon at Gey- serville, Leonard 8mith, aged 13, being shot and killed by his brother Paul, aged 15 years. The father was at work in Alexander Valley and the mother came to Healdsburg to visit relatives, leaving the two boys at home. They were amusing themselves at the time of the tragedy playing “ghost.”” Leon- ard powdered his face with flour and enveloped himself In a sheet to im- personate the ‘“‘ghost.” Paul secured an old-fashioned Winchester rifle, which was supposed not to be loaded, and when the “ghost” made his ap- pearance on the steps outside warned him not to approach nearer or he would fire. The “ghost” advanced and the trigger was pulled. The bullet entered the lad’s shoulder, downward through his body and came out of his leg. aul, horrified at his deed, picked up the bleeding form of his brother and carried it to the bed- room upstairs, where he laid the wounded boy on the bed. He then ran for help, but the injury was fatal, the unfortunate lad dying before a phy- sician reached him CHILE AND ARGENTINE DRIFTING TOWARD WAR Peru Is Aligned With One Power and Bolivia With the Other.

CABINET DECIDES THE PROBLEM OF THE PHILIPPINES Spain’s Sovereignty Shall Cease Throughout the Entire Archipelago. Madrid Must Accept the Situation or Resume a War Disastrous to Spanish Arms. NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Spain’s sovereign- ty over all of the Philippines must cease. This is the one general conclu- sfon reached as the result of two lengthy sessions of the Cabinet held to- day. Other important conclusions were reached, but the main questions as to how much territory the United States shall demand and as to the government of such portions of the islands as the United States may not care to colonize are to be left for final settlement on Thursday night, when the President and members of the Cabinet will meet members of the Peace Commission at a dinner in the White House. The Cabinet is not a unit as to the maximum demand which shall be made upon Spaln as a condition of perma- nent peace and the President hopes by an exchange of views with members of the commission to reach a decision which will be unanimously agreed upon as to just what our policy in respect to the Philippines shall be. As a re- sult of his deliberations with the Cabi- net to-day the President’s mind s clearly made up on these points: It is impossible for Spain to govern the Philippine Islands or any portion thereof. The Filipinos are incapable of self- government. The United States having taken pos- session of Manila and Manila Bay can- not and will not withdraw from this part of the territory and {s morally bound, in the interest of clvfllznti‘n. to see that a better government is estab- lished in the place of the one thrown down. ‘Whether the United States will insist on control of the entire Philippine group is a question that will be set- tled after the conference with the Peace Commissioners. The instructions al- ready drawn up are explicit and em- phatic. A member of the Cabinet said to me to-night: “Spain is to be dealt with as a con- quered nation. Her Commissioners will have nothing to do but accept or reject the demands of the United States, and arrange details after they have accept- ed the demands in principal. “When the United States Commlis- sioners go to Paris they will have the President’s instructions which will be in the nature of an ultimatum. They will meet the Spanish Commissioners, and their instructions will be read to them. The Spanish Commissioners will then meet separately and decide whether or not they will accept the de- mands of the United States. If they de- sire to accept, the two sets of commis- sioners will come together again and formally draw up and sign a treaty embodying the terms of the United States. If they refuse to accept and offer counter propositions the American Commissioners, without attempting any negotiation, will communicate with the President, and it will then rest with him to say whether the suggestions of- fered by Spain will be accepted or whether his Commissioners shall come home and the war be resumed.” PEPOOPPOPOPPP0P0PIPDOOPOP000 9000000000 BRITISH ACTIVITY IN THE SOUDAN EXASPERATES FRANCE.

Police Now Have All Parts of the Dismembered Body of the Woman Victim of an Assassin. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Sept. 13.—All the parts of the dismembered body of the young woman so mysteriously mur- dered and mutilated and cast into the waters of the Yellow Mill River have been found. The trunk was discovered to-day. The upper half, with the arms attached, was in one package, the lower part of the body was in a second package. The upper half of the body was wrapped in what appeared to be a black rubber carriage There were eyelet holes in it. in a white rubber sheet, such as is used in surgical operating rooms. The latter circumstance, together with the plain evidence that the body was severed, like the legs and head, by using a keen knife and a perfect-edged saw, leads the police to the conclusion that the mutilation, and presumably the murder, was done by a surgeon. The upper half of the trunk is intact. The stomach, liver and other organs located in the uper part of the human anatomy are all in place, but the ab- dominal portion of the body has been divested of nearly every organ. This suggests that the young woman was the victim of a criminal operation at the hands of a physician, who brought his skill into play in an effort to de- stroy the evidence of the crime as well as the body of the victim of his mal- practice. The first discovery in this tragedy was made yesterday, when two boys found a bundle in the Yellow Mill River that contained the legs of a woman. They were wrapped in cloth and a white rubber sheet, such as is used by physicians and nurses. One leg was chopped in two and both were cut ofl‘ at the thigh. Another bundle was found a little later containing the head of a woman 25 years of age. It was wrapped in a plece of man's undernear and rubber, tied with a corset string. A piece of muslin in the woman's mouth indicates that she was gagged with it or perhaps smothered.

GOVERNOR’S DAY AT _THE STATE FAIR Mr. Budd and His Staff Expected to Grace the Big Pavilion To-Night. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 13.—To-mor- row night and Thursday night, the last save two of the annual State Exposi- tion, promise to present dazzling scenes at the pavilion. To-morrow will be Governor's day and Thursday Sacra- mento day. Sacramentans have the human weakness of desiring to go where the crowd goes, and the crowd will be at the pavilion on these nights. The Governor and his staff are ex- pected to arrive in the city to-morrow morning. They will take in the races in the afternoon, and, of course, the pavilion in the evening, and the event will no doubt awaken the hospitable wish to see that the guests of the day have an assemblage of appropriate size to appear before. ¥ Nearly all the business men in the | city have signed an agreement to close | shortly. for a half-day on Sacramento day, and most of the industrial establishments have done likewise, so Sacramento’s loyalty to the fair will have a substan- tial manifestation on Thursday.
