The Populist City Central Committee has decided to hold a convention and nom- | inate a municipal ticket on which shall be the names of none but straight Pop- ulists. No fusionists, Democrats or Re- publicans seeking nominations or indorse- ments need apply. The committee having in charge the | duty of calling a convention consists of Al Barkman, president; C. Hitchcock, secre- tary; Dr. Hesse, treasurer; James Hen- F. Hale of the First Ward, A. Hoernisch and S. Nichols of Second Ward, Dr. Hesse and C. Hitchcock of the Third V. Baker of the Fourth Ward, J. | Bliss of the Fifth Ward, J. Taylor of the Sixth Ward, James Van Buskirk of the | Seventh Ward. 3 After canvassing the situation the com- | mittee has decided that fusion is a fail- ure and that the only hope of Populism lies in the preservation of its integrity and of its fundamental principles. Next .Monday evening the convention will be held, which will consist of 105 del- | egates. Each ward is entitled to a rep- | reseritation of fifteen votes in the con- | vention, and they will be elected at pri- S | maries conducted by the club in each of | the seven wards. It is probable that enough Populists | may not be found to desire the honors of nomination, and in that event the places will be Jeft blank, and it is said they will not be filled even by the central commit- | tee, as is usual in such cases.

The doctor was at his best, and although the delegates were almost frozen by the temperature and lack of enthusiasm, he kept them laugn- ing by his witty references to the show. He opened the proceedings with a speech In which he said that the organ of the party had referred to them ds putty men. It _devolves on you gentlemen,” said the chairman, “to prove that vou are not made of putty.. There is an anti-cartoon bill in the Legislature at this time, and I heartily condemn it. We should surely be permitted to have a little fun with each other’s faces—it is the spice of life. But there is another bill—that one to shoot malicious editors, and I am going to the Capitol to help pass it.” The platform committee reported a very concise document. It favored economical city government, municipal water plant, gas and electric plants, street improvi gxlr‘z(ms, the eight-hour ‘law and lower s ¥ When nominations were called for no one was ready to nominate, and after calling the various offices several times Delegate Railton nominated J.

P. E. Dalton nominated Henry Sohst for Treasurer, but Sohst withdrew. Warren B.

Republicans to Caucus. BERKELEY, Feb. 2.—A meeting of the Republican commlittee of the university town has been called for next Tuesday night, February 7. The call was issued by Lee Hampton, chairman of the com- mittee, and the meeting will be held in George Schmidt's real estate office on Shattuck avenue, near Center street. One of the principal items of business will be the election of a new committee secretary in place of the late George W. Woodsum, the Deputy Sheriff who was killed last year in the explosion of the Melrose Fuse Works. An Exceptional Chinaman. ALAMEDA, Feb. 2.—Mrs. Richard Brad- ley of 1836 Santa Clara avenue, wife of the captain of the ferry-boat Newark, is con- gratulating herself that there is at least one strictly honest Chinaman on earth. The fact of his existence has saved her the loss of $188). Yesterday morning she lost a purse on the ferry containing a certificate of deposit for $1500, a check for $350 and $30 In coin. She was overjoyed this morning to receive word that the purse was at the Oakland police station. It had been left there by a Chinaman and identified as her property by a ferry pass that was in it. The Chinaman told the police that he had picked up the purse on a seat by the railing of the boat. ————— Bitten by a Vicious Pug. ALAMEDA, Feb. 2—Arthur G.

TWO LOCAL FIRMS COMPETE SIXTEEN THOUSAND MEN TO GO BY WAY OF THE SUEZ CANAL. The Contract Likely to Be Awarded to the Bordeaux Steamship Com- pany—Uniforms for Soldiers in the Tropics. The 16,000 or more Spanish prisoners of the late war who are to be transported from Manila to Spain will not, as many first supposed, be first conveyed to this _city and then shipped across the con- tinent, but will be taken directly through the Suez canal. Bids from different steamship companies were forwarded to Washington yesterday, both 'from New York and this city. In the aggregate they amount to but five, three from the former and two from the latter. The competing lines from New York are the Bordeaux Steamship Company, whose bid was the lowest, being $7 per capita for officers and men; the Hamburg American line, $85 for each enlisted man and $155 for officers, the number at these figures be- ing lmited to 800 men; the Campania Transatlantica, $215 for the transporta- tion of officers and $737 for enlisted men. The bids forwarded from this city were considerably larger than any of the New York companies. Macondray & Co. placed their minimum figure at $110 50 per capita for soldiers and $215 for officers. One of the stipulations of the bid is that a vessel will be at Manila within six ‘weeks from the time the contract is awarded. W. B. Wilshire places his figure at $249 per capita for 2298 men at first class, $175 at second class and $124 per capita for steerage. | Unless more bids are forwarded to ‘Washington within the next few days, the | contract will in all probability be awarded to the Bordeaux Steamship Company. The military authorities here have no idea that the bids forwarded by the two local steamship companies will be even considered after the price of them is as- certained. Immediately after the contract is awarded steps will be taken by the suc- cessful -bidders to get the necessary ves- sels to the Philippines as soon as pos- sible. The rqute of the ships will be through | the Suez canal. The army authorities, in | speaking of this course, say it would be | aimost impossible for the men to be_con- | veyed to this city and thence overland to | New York, as it would take an army of | men to keep them in the trains. They! consider the proposition absurd and con- | tradict the current rumor that has been | circulated to the effect that arrange- ments have been perfected for the trans- gurlation of the prisoners to New York “ity by way of San Francisco. Contracts have been awarded recently for the manu- | facture of hundreds of uniforms of duck cloth for the American soldiers in the| Philippines. They provide, upon the au- | thority of the Government officials, for | facture. The orders and contracts now being fulfllled will be the last for some time to come. It is expected, however, hist city will receive a greater share of pdtronage at the distribution of the contracts, which will probably be award- gllil ?ioon after the present ones are ful- ed. ROBBED A BAKERY. The Residence of H. Beckmann on Dolores Street Visited by Thieves. The residence of H. Beckmann at 904 Do- lores street was entered last Wednesday night by burglars. The thieves gained admission to the premises by a rear door in which they forced the lock by the aid of a jimmy. The thieves went direct to the room of Mrs. Beckmann and ran- sacked the bureau drawers. They were rewarded by finding a purse containing $170 and some jewelry, which was lying under some clothing. ~Satisfied with their plunder they made good their escape in the same manner as they had entered. Beckmann, who conducts a bakery on the premises, was at work in the bake- room on the lower floor at the time the theives were making their unwelcome visit in the upper portion of the house. It has been the custom of the bakery to leave a light burning in the lower hall during the nighttime. This, probably, was known to the visitors, as was also the fact that there was money in the house and its location, as they did not make a general search for other valua- bles, but were content with the money. The theft was reported to the detective department e The Burgle Inquest. In charging the jury in the Burgle case yesterday the Coroner remarked that it ‘was unfortunate that the Supervisors nad provided no place for the confinement of insane criminals. It was an outrage that Burgle should have been kept in jail. The jury returned a verdict to the ef- fect that the deceased, Anthony Burgle, was a native of Alsace, 50 years old, and that he committed suicide while insane. They also censured the city authorities for not having provided a suitable place for the confinement of insane criminals. —_——————— REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. John C. Nobmann (by H. M.
