Special Dispatch to The Call. CLOVERDALE, July 20.—The large ho- tel and numerous cottages at the Geysers narrowly escaped destruction by fire late this afternoon. The excellent service ren- | dered by the guests in fighting back the blaze was all that prevented a repetition of the disaster that befell the Byron | Springs establishment a few days ago. ‘While the large number of guests were at supper about 5 o'clock they were star- tled by a cry of fire from hotel attendants, who discovered smoke and flame issuing from the roof. Men, women and children | sprang from their seats at the tablc, and while nearly all were content to gain the most available exit some of the more venturesome sought to reach their rooms with a frantic purpose of saving their valuables. The blaze, wnich had been started by a defective electric light wire, burned rap- | idly and had when L. through the dry roofing and bucket brigade. Every hotel guest | able to bear the burden of a water bucket was hustled into line, ladders were raised ang after a half-hour of wearying labor the progress of the fire was arrested. A | number of men clambered upon the blaz- | ing roof and with axes tore away the | shingles and upper timbers. The danrage | to the building is not great and will not | interfere with the business of. the hotel.

Perkins, desires the people to believe that he is not responsible for John C. Lynch’'s appointment to the position of Collector of United States Internal Reve- nue, First California District. Speaking of the appointment yesterday Senator Per- kins said: “Lynch was forced on me by members members of the Republican State Central Committee and representatives of four Congressional committees. There were fifty men, any one of whom T would rath- er have recommended than Lynch. Frank McLaughlin, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, came to Wash- ington with Lynch’s indorsements. M. H de Young was one of the strongest in- dorsers of Lynch. It is my recollection that the Congressional delegation joined in asking the President to" appoint Lynch.” The Senator was asked yesterday if he had any information to impart in response to the following inquiry published in last Sunday's Call: “Did you not after recommending the appointment of John C. Lynch ask a well known and eminent Republican of Cali- fornia, who was then close to the admin- istration at Washington, to flle a protest against said appointment?” The Senator replied: “I neither affirm nor deny the statement. 1f 1 did advise any one to protest the ad- vice was given in conversation. It is likely that I said to men who objected to the = recommendation, ‘File a protest against the appointment.” I had no per- sonal reasons for favoring Lynch. He never asked me to recommend him. He was elected to support me for Senator, but went over to my principal opponent, Mr. de Young. All these appointments made four years ago were made with the approval of the delegation. It is wrong to create the impression that I am responsi- ble for Lynch. I am not pledged to retain him in office. i am free to act according to my judgment. It is my recollection that Lybch was indorsed by the Congres- sional committees of Loud’s district, Hil- born’s district, the Fourth district, then represented- by Maguire, and of the Los Angeles district.” In an Awkward Position. The Senator’'s present position in con- nection with Lynch’s incumbency is pecu- lar and awkward. He is now interposing obstacles to #fle removal of a man who was forced on him four vears ago. It cannot be said that prominent Republicans are clamoring for the Revenue Collector's re- tention. On the contrary leading Republi- cans throughout the district are signify- ing an earnest desire for a change in that office. Benator Bard perceives that the change should be made now, early in the fiscal year. Another good reason for the change is the fact that Lynch has had the job four years. A further good rea- son_for the change is the fact that he is meddling in local political affairs and promising public patronage to induce men to get out and fight the Republican Prim- ary League. Senator Perkins says Lynch’s appoint- ment was forced on him. Is it poss‘ble now that he is being forced to retain Lynch? Is the Senator being forced by Van Fleet, Herrin and Gage? In view of tlie embarrassing predicament of our senior Senator it is high time that Senator Bard should come to the relief of his colleague. Republican Primary League. It is the deliberate judgment of politi- cians who are studying the local contest that the Republican Primary League will win out_in the fight against the allied bosses. ‘Martin Kelly, backed by Gage, Herrin and Van Fleet, 1s not able to re- cruit a following 'in the Republi- can party, but is scheming under cover ~to enlist the help of Sam Rainey and the Democratic push. Boss Kelly has a determined fight to face in his own aistrict and if Hainey fails to send him big reinforceme e will be downed in the Twenty-eighth. The anti-boss Re&ublluns under the standard of the Republican Primary (VOICES FROM THE GAGE-HERRIN-LYNCH-CONROY ‘““FRIEND, POLITICIAN, OUR REAL US YOUR EARS!” League expect to win a decisive victory in the Twenty-ninth Assembl{ District. The large enroliment of good citizens sig- nifles a triumph for the principles of good local government in that district. —The bosses hope for a light vote, admitting in advance that a large vote will result in the success of the league ticket. Register at Once. Workingmen, business men, taxpayers and other good citizens should keep in mind that registration for the primary election closes next Saturday, August 3. Every citizen who has changed his place of residence since the last election should re-register before August 3. Every man who has galned the right to vote by re- siding in the State during the past year should reglister at once. Young men who have attained the age of 21 since the last election should get on the register to vote at the pnmarf'. Registration is now the important tople. Address to the Voters. Tn view of the importance of the ap- proaching election the Republican Pri- mary League last night issued the follow- ing address to the voters of San Fran- cisco: The Republican Primary League desires' to call the attentlon of the voters to the fact that the registration for the primary election will close on August 3, 1901 The people of San Francisco should realize that this electian will determine the char- acter of the men who will control the municipal government for the next two Years. While the citizen may be indiffer- ent at the time of the primary election, he is not indifferent when he goes to pay his tax bill. Good citizens are prone to com- plain of the complexion of political affairs - and vet, when they have the remedy in their own hands they fall to use it. the new primary law, primary elections are now under the control of the Election Com- missloners, and every vote cast at the primary election will be honestly counted. The delegates who are to be elected will meet in° convention and nominate men who will conduct municipal affairs during the next two years. It is fair to presume that if good men are elected as delegates good men will be nominated by the convention. How can good delegates be named, how can an honest, falr and Intelligent convention be secured without the assistance of in- teiligent and free citizens and their co- operation by casting their ballots at the primary election in favor of good men? ‘The disgraceful political conditions of the past were largely the result of indifference on the part of the best elements in both political parties to their real political duties as clitizens of our municipality. It is with the hope of overcoming this indifference and accomplishing a final and lasting vic- tory that the Republican Primary League urges every citizen of both parties, and re- gardless of whatsoever party faction he may be connected with: First, If necessary, register; second, to vote and express his choice for delegates, on August 13. The following persons are entitled to reg- ister: Al persons not registered at the last election, but who were entitled thereto. All native citizens who have arrived at age since the last general election. All native citizens not registered who have secured a residence in the State and county since the ‘last general election. 'All electors who have changed thelr resi- deénce from another county in_ this State to this county since the last general election, and prior to May 15, 1901 All persons who were registered, but by moving out of thelr respective districts, or otherwise, have lost their right to vofe. All qualified voters who were registered at the last general election, or since that time, and who will have continued to reside within their respective election precincts shall be entitled to vote Without additional registration.

F. W. Allender, one of the Lane boomers here, said to-day that there was no question about Lane’s candidacy. “I have been spoken to about the mat- ter by some of Mr. Lane's friends, and with Nathan Cole, Jud -Rush and others have discussed the possibilities of his suc- cess before the Democratic convention, and before the people in the event of his securing the nomination.

SACRAMENTO, July 29.—The sensation- al feature of the work of the Grand Jury Which was recently in session was its in- vestigation into the acts of City Surveyor ‘William Mullenney, resulting in an indict- ment charging him with malfeasance in office. Mullenney was accused of felony under this indictment in having, as al- leged, charged the city twice for labor performed. This afternoon Superior Judge Hart dismissed the indictment against |Mullznney and ordered his bondsmen re- leased. % Various grounds are given by the court for this action, among them being the un- warranted action of the Grand Jury dur- ing the investigation In calling in counsel other than the District Attorney; in al- lowing to be present persons not author- ized by law to be in attendance; in failing to secure the required number of jurors to vote affirmatively on the indictment, and in forcing the defendant against his wish and consent to appear before the Grand Jury respecting the subject matter of the indictment.

TUCSON, Ariz., July 20.—Work trains and bridge crews are being rushed to the scene of the washout which began at Fairbank on the New Mexico and Arizona Raflroad and extended south for many miles. Altogether ten miles of track has been washed away. One bridge 400 feet long and another 300 feet long were car- ried away and an immense grade: which rose to meet the height of these big bridges was completely washed away_by | the flood of water which came down San Pedro Valley. The first damage was done several days ago and as the crews were busily engaged repairing ‘the road another storm set in and the water shed of the mountains sent | down torrents which overflowed the valley | and rose above the highest grade of track. The Southern Pacific engineers in Tucson estimate that at least three days will be required to repair damage so that the‘ first train can pass. Passengers from Mexico are detained at Huachuca siding, where they are being cared for by the| Southern Pacific Company. The flood also washed out a portion of the Arizona and Southeastern, which runs | from Benson, on the Southern Pacific. to Bisbee, the big copper camp. The road runs through the San Pedro Valley and it has suffered a_great deal of damage. Bisbee is shut off from the outside world for a few, days.
