The malil boat only stopped three hours at Honolulu, and no passengefs were taken aboard there. At the Hawa- ifan capital several cases of plague were reported since the China left there, ac- cording to the New Zealand mail agent who came ashore on the tug.

CORONER COLE MADE ; THE WIDOW SMILE Miss Addie Silva Told About Her Relations With Suicide Arthur G. Pereda. Even the widow of the drowned Arthur G. Pereda was obliged to join in the smile and the snicker that went around the room yesterday, as a jovial testimonial to the wit and humor of Coroner R. Beverly Cole, sitting in request at the Morgue on the dead body of her husband. Pereda’s body was discovered floating in the bay near Goat Island last Wednesday morning, two weeks after his disappear- ance. Among other things found on his person was a note written by him in pen- | cil and addressed to his brother Frank, in which deceased regretted his marriage | of four months’ duration and added: “Ad- die Silva is my wife.” Mrs. Carrle Pereda, widow of the dead man, swore that the note was not in the handwriting of her husband. She said she did not know Addie Silva, and had en her only on one occasion and then at listance as a e as good looking a woman as ar asked the Coroner. 0;" replied the widow, with a smile. “I didn't see nothing In her face to get stuck on.” “‘Of course,” hastily Interjected the Cor- | oner, “I don’t mean to say that you are | good looking. 1 spoke merely as a matter | of comparison.” An offended frown succeeded the place | of the smile on the widow's face, and the Coroner was in much disfavor thereafter. Miss Silva was called to tell what she knew of the deceased.

The court-martial appointed to try Cap- n Peter C. Deming, assistant commis- | v of subsistence of volunteers, con- vened yesterday morning, but got no fur- ther than organization before adjourning for a week. The adjournment was in deference to a request from the accused, who declared | that he had not been able to secure an at- | torney, and also that he had sent East | for certain papers that would be material | to his case. He said he could secure an | attorney by next Thursday and by that time the papers he wished from the East would be here. The court will proceed rext Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. The report of the transfer of the head- quarters of the Third Artillery to the Pre- | sidio has caused a great deal of interest | in military circles, notably among the | families of officers at the front, who now cecupy quarters at the post.

May 15th Agreed Upon for Holding the Deliberations—State Com- muttee to Meet in Golden Gate Hall To-Day. PR S The executive committee of the Repub- lican State Ceatral Committee met at the Palace yesterday afternoon and after adopting a call to be recommended to the convention which meets in Golden Gate Hall to-day, it also set the 15th of May as the date for holding the State Conven- tion. ‘When Vice Chalrman George C. Pardee called the meeting to order there were in attendance E. F. Preston, Wendell East- on, Paris Kilburn, Colonel George Stone, Isaac Upham, James Alva Watt, all of this city, and W, F. Parker of Los An- geles and A. G. Gasson of San Diego. In calling the members to order Dr. Pardee stated that the meeting was for the pur- pose of preparing such recommendations as the executive committee might see fit to place before the general committee :‘hlch meets in convention at 1 o'clock to- y. A general discussion ensued between the members on the question of apportion- ment and the recommendations to be made on that point to the convention, and also on the Guestion of the appointment of a State Central Committee. On the former question Secretary Steppacher read some statistics which' he had pre- pared, showing the number of de.cgaies each county was entitled to in the coming convention. In discussing the appoint- ment of the new Stat ntral Committee, Mr. Preston thought it should be appoint- ed by the convention which will be in s sion on May 15, because the campaign will commence on the 1st of July, when nomi- nations will be made and the new com- mittee can take up the fight at the proper time. Many of the members of the com- mittee agreed with Mr. Preston, but ac- tion was deferred. It will probably be discussed at to-da convention. Mr. Parker submitted the call, which he said was in line with the call of the previ- ous convention. Mr. Preston read the document and at the conclusion of the reading Mr. Kilburn moved that it be rec- ommended to the general committee. Mr, Preston said he thought it would be better to recommend the time and place of hold- ing the convention. Mr. Parker expedited matters by a motion fo the effect that the « or a major fraction thereof, of the 8 cast for Governor Gn%?, in addition to one delegate at large from each Assam- bly district. The motion was unanimously carried. This will give 539 delegates to the convention. Mr. Gasson moved that the convention be held on the 15th day of May. The mo- tion was adopted. The members also dis- cussed the place of holding the conven- tion, but it was agreed that it be left to the general committee to pass upon. It is robable that Sacramento will be chosen or the convention city, although a num- Pr-r of delegates are in favor of Santa ruz. 2 Paris Kilburn renewed his motion to have the call, as filled out, adopted and recommended to the State Committee at its meeting to-da: It was carried. The business of the committee having been concluded it adjourned to meet in Golden Gate Hall to-day at 1 o'clock. The call is as follow In accordance with the directions of the Republican National Committee that dele- gated representatives of the Republican party from the several States assemble in national convention adelphia, Pa., on Tuesd June, A D. 190, at the purpose of nominating ca the office of President and Vi for such other before satd the of the United States, and business as may be brought convention.

BY FELIX RAYMER. It will now be supposed that the result- Ing negative has not come up just as near perfect as It should, so that a little “‘doc- toring”’ becomes necessary. There are many instances where the negative can be improved. Sometimes everything is all right with the exception of one thing This being the case, it becomes a matter | of no importance to know how | help that ¢ point. There is no photo- grapher who will claim that doctoring is as good for a negative as to get that nega- tive just ri will agree that there are times when it be- | comes a positive necessity to remedy some trouble. Let us first take up what Is known as intensification. If the negative has not been carried far enough in the developer, or if too cool a developer has been the picture on the glass will have a weak, transparent appearance. The whole neg- atl a print be made from it the print will be weak and lifeless. This is the kind r negative that requires intensifying. Al such negatives have plenty of time on the exposure, but have not been carried far enough in the developer. A negative that is thin from under-exposure must not b | mistaken for a negative that requires in- tensifying, for it would do no good to try work up a negative that has been u r-exposed. In the case of the unde Xposed negative it wiil be found that the whites are very dark while the shadows are perfectly transparent with no detail n them. The intensifying solution shou be made up in two bottles, and about t easiest to understand and handle is made as follows: | Bichloride, of mercury, 60 grat | A { Bromide of potassium, 60 grains. i L Water, 6% oun | B S nite soda, 1 ounce. | 1 Water, 4 ounces, The negative should be washed for about half an nour and then placed in a dish or tray containing enough of the “A" solu- t oroughly to cover the negative. The tray should be rocked back and forth until every part of the negative has turned a cream or milk color. Then take the nega- tive from the solution and rinse well, after which place in another tray containing enouga of the “B" solution to. cover the plate. Rock the tray back and forth untii all the milky appearance has disappeared and the negative has returned to its for- mer color. It will be necessary now to wash the negative again thoroughly. It will now be seen that the whole appea ance of the negative is gore “‘snappy.” If the first trial does not intensify the nega- tive quite enough, & secona trial may be | made, and a third, and so on until the re- | quired intensity has been accomplished. Atter intensifying, the negative should be washed thoroughly about one hour, then dried It sometimes happens that may be a negative arried too far in the developing. If this is the case the negative will look too black all over when held up and _ex- {amined by light coming through it. If a print be taken from this negative it will require q long time to do the print- ing, and after the print is made its ap- pearance wili be anything but pleasing, from the fact t look. It will be negative to a pr | purpose the folle it ‘will have a ' y necessary to reduce this per deeree. For that ing solutions are used: i A nide of potasstum, 1 ounce. 1 ounces { B ulphite of soda, 1 ounce. | 16 ounces. Place the negative in a tray containing enough of to cover it weil and a it a little at a time just a small g | of “A." The more of “A” that is used the fasier will be the reducifon.

It is very necessary tha ate should be washed thoroughly er this treatment.

Take a tuft of absorbent cotton and dip it into the solution desired and touch on those parts of the plate that need im- | proving, Care must be exercised or an treak may show around the rked on. Sometimes the negatives dd to ntity may be too yellow. This is caused by not using | enough of the sulphite of soda in the de- vel r. To remedy this it will be nec- to clear them up with is as the “clearing solution.” One might think this color in the negative would make no difference, but it is quite a drawback to getting a good print.

If the printing is dons in | the shade no tissue paper will be needed Go over the negatives very carefully with | 2 camel’'s hair dusting brush and remove all dust and lint just before fixing nega- tive and paper in frame. The prints should | remain in the frame until they are about two shades darker than wanted in the finished print. They can be examined at any time during the process by opening half the frame. Care should be taken not to allow a strong Hght to strike the er when examining the print. The pic s will tone much lighter than they ap- ar when printed. The next process Is that of toning. It is in this process that the pictures are given their final lasting color. The first thing to do in toning a collodion gloss print is to get it into such a condition that it will n 1. Take a smooth bottom tray and IP nto it water enough to cover the | bottom to a depth of about one-half inch, | slide the prints into this face down one at a time and pack them tightly one on top of another all over the bottom of the tray in an irregular mass. Be sure that {each print is thoroughly wet before plac- ing another on top of it and do not pile the prints directly on top of each other, | but let only a part of one cover the ona beneath it. This will give an frregular | heap and prevent their curling over each other at the edges. When all the prifits are in pour off the water and pour on fresh water, about the same quanti rock the tray back and forth for about five minutes, holding the prints flat. This prevents the edge of ona print from leaving a red streak on an- | other print. After rocking the tray pour { off the water and press the prints down flat with the palm of the hand and allow all the water to drain off, after which stand the tray up on edge and let the ple- tures drain for flve minutes. Go through this washing process again and again | giving the prints at least six changes of fresh _water. The better way to do this is to have two washing trays and to han dle prints from ons to another. The prints | are then ready for the toning bath, which i is made as follows: Water .

X.—PRINTING AND FINISHING. BY FELIX RAYMER. One of the most puzzling things about making pictures is to decide on what printing paper to use. In view of the fact that there are so many different kinds and brands on the market it would seem to be almost a hopeless task, and more so when we hear each manufacturer claim- ing his product to be the very best. It might be said, however, that the -print- ing out” papers—that is, the paper that the image is printed out to a full depth and afterward toned to the proper color— are divided into two classes, viz.. collodion ana gelatin. The “developing out’” papers are those papers where the image is de- veloped out something like the developing in the right hand and holding the negative | appealed to that tribunal on flimsy tech- nicalities wh sess no merit and only crowd the calendar and take up the time of the court.

Hearst o promissory note and the lady wonm in the lower court. Hart ap- pealed the case, and yesterday the juds- ment of the court below was affirmed and Hart assessed $100 damages by the Justices. . 2O%ONCR SROUGRNONONONG > o Gertrude Atherton’s latest &2 # work is a novel dealing with g American political life.
