The officers elected are: President, B. C. Voorhels of Amador County; first e president, Frederick Zeitler of Ne- ada County; second vice president, Lewis E. Aubury of Los Angeles; third vice president, M. E. Dittmar of Shasta Coun- ty; secretary, E. H. Benjamin of San Francisco; treasurer, S. J. Hendy of San They constituted the old board of officers and were re-clected, with the addition of M. E. Dittmar, who occu- pies the office of third vice president, which was created bty amendment of the by-laws cf the association. so that the northern counties, about to form a Miners' Asscciation of Northern California, might receive proper recognition in the State e more important aims of the asso- clation that were mentioned in the reso- lutions that were adopted are easily sum- ed. The demand for a mational De- partment of M!nes and Mining was re- newed. A national law was asked for to provide for the location of 160 acres of petroleum-bearing land as a placer claim end to give the locater an opportunity to make technical discovery of mineral as a precedent for location. A national law was also asked for to throw the burden of proof in a contest in the United States Land Office, between a scripper and The restrain- ing works for the Yuba River were ap- proved and additional restraining works upon the tributaries of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers were advocated to enable miners to provide for the resump- | tion of hydraulic mining in all parts of the State adapted thereto. Once more the passage of the mineral lands bill was urged and it was voted to send ¥ ntative of the mining inter- a to Washington in that if the executive committee shouid approve. The executive committee was instructed to nd a case properly brought to test the Caminetti law. Bring- ing persons before the Federal Grand Jury, who falsely make non-mineral af- fidavits for the purpose of fraudulently procuring title to mineral lands, was de- clared a purpose of the association. A na- trol, reserving from sale all public forests and the enactment of e penal laws to protect forests from were strongly advocated. The amendment of the Federal statutes to pre- prolonged holding of mining claims without the performance of annual | assessment work was also favored. Chinese Get Attention. The enactment of a new Chinese restric- tion law was advocated. The administra- of the State Mining Bureau under 5. Aubury was approved and the ature was asked to make a liberal appropriation for th support of the bureau. Land Commissioner Binger Her- mann was commende uspend- ing agricultural entry upon California lands supposed to be petroleum-bearing. Thanks were voted to the merchants, n and business men of San co for financial support given to on and also to the press of 0 and of the mining counties he State for aid to the association and to the mining industry of California. The resolutions that were submitted by | the committee on resolutions, of which W. C. Ralston was the chairman, were really an epitome of the history of the important doings of the convention during the week. The reports of all committees, with the recommendations made therein, were sent to the committee on resolutions after they had been read to the convention and the last named committee embodied the sug- gestions that met with the favor of the convention in their final report. The text of the resolution reported by the committee and finally adopted by the convention concerning the Chinese exclu- sion act is as follow Whereas, The Chinese exclusion act, so call- ed, is about to expire; and Whereas, Upon its expiration, unless Congress shall enact another law of similar-purview, this country, and particularly the Pacific States and Territories, will at once be flooded with Chi- nese; and ‘Whereas, The Chinese race has been proven to be wholly unassimilable with the Caucasian; ana Whereas, The Chinese civilization in our midst has proven to be wholly alien to ours and to our institutions, and the presence of the Chinese among us has been shown to be a blight and a curse upon our people; and Whereas, We cannot but look forward with dismay and alarm to that untoward event which shall precipitate upon our shores the alien hordes of Asia without let or hindrance; therefore, be it Resolved, That we hereby request our dele- gation in Congress to endeavor to procure | the enactment of another Chinese exclusion act, and that we further hereby request our said delegation in the prosecution of their efforts in this behalf to exercise the greatest diligence and vigilance. Important Resolutions. The text of the resolutions adopted by the convention that dealt with topics of the greatest general interest is as follows: lows: Resolved, That in the judgment of this as- sociation, the mining industry of this country with its output of raw material amounting in 1900 to the sum of $1,070,108,889 in value, its tremendous significance to the industrial pros- | perity of the nation, and its still more splen- did promise for the' future, warrants and de- mands the governmental protection and assist- ance that can be adequately extended only through a cabinet department of the exscutive branch of the Government. We therefore hear- indorse the now national demand for a Cabinet Department of Mines and Mining. Resolved, That the committee on legisiation be requested to prepare a bill embodying the Democratic Candidate for Governor Begins { Campaign. BUCYRUS, Ohio, Oct. 23.—The Demo- crats formally opened their State cam- paign here to-day with excursions from all parts of the State and a very large at- tendanee. This city was founded by the grandfather of Colonel James Kilbourne, the Democratic candidate for Governor, the county seat of one of the strongest Democratic counties in the State. The city was profusely decorated for the celebration. The speakers included Colonel James Kilbourne, Anthony How- ells, candidate for Lieutenant Governor; Mayor Tom L. Johnson and Charles W. Baker, candidate for United States Sena- tor, in the afternoon, imd for_ the night meeting J. L. Zimmerman of Springfield, Congressman James A. Norton and others. General E. B.

AND ADJOURN AFTER ANNUAL EL T CONVENTION WHEN PRESI- <> = S views of this convention on the proposition of having a department of mines and mining, and that the same be submitted to the executive committee of this association at its first meet- ing, so it can be immediately forwarded to our delegation in Washington. Resolved, That our Congressional delegation be and is hereby requested to use all honorabie means to have enacted a law by which the location of petroleum placer claims might be so regulated as to secure to the locator the right to locate not to exceed 160 acres and give him an opportunity to make technical ‘‘discovery'” of mineral as precedent to location, A measure of this nature is demanded by the peculiar conditions of the petroleum industry, and is necessary to give effect to the spirit and intent of the mining laws, and would be a wise adaptation to ofl development of the tunnel site law and would work no Injury to any legi- timate industry. Scrippers Are Considered. Resolved, That in the problem of remedying the criminal abuses of the land and mining laws of the nation by the wholesale attempts to secure as agricultural lands, by the use of so- called scrip and otherwise, great tracts of the public domain that are unquestionably min- propriation as may be necessary to carry such work to a final and successful completion. And be it further Resolved, That we favor the construction at the earlieSt possible date of additional re- straining dams_and barriers upon the tribu- taries- of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and their branches, to the end that hydraulic mining may be resumed in all parts of the State adapted thereto. Mineral Lands Bill. Whereas, There is an absolute, urgent and immediate necessity for the segregation of tie mineral lands within the railroad land grants of the State of California in order that such mineral lands may be restored to the publie domain and thus made available to the min- ing prospector. These mineral lands were es- pecially excepted from the railroad land grants and have never been granted by the United States Government to any railroad company, and were intended to be specifically preserved as a part of the public domain open to explora- tion and purchase under Federal mining law: The task of securing a proper and effective classification and segregation of the mineral lands within the railroad land grants in Cali- fornia was undertaken several years since by the California Delegate in Congress through the suggestion and co-operation of the California Miners' Association, but the efforts thus made have been so far unavailing. It is now be- lieved, however, that a more opportune time has arrived for the accomplishment of this desirable work, and therefore, be it Resolved, That your committee on mineral lands be instructed to use all honorable means at their disposal to securc such legislation at the hands of our National Congress as will bring about the desired results, and we fur- thermore request our Senators and Represen- tatives in Congress to urge upon Congress at its ensuing session, commencing in Decem- ber next, to enact such legislation as will prothptly, effectually and finally classify and 2o its water resources and the preservation of its forests; therefore, we favor the immediate and thorough investigation of, and report onm, our water resources, and the best methods of im- proving and developing the same; the collabora- tion of the Federal and State governments in such investigation and the proper appropria- tions therefor by our State Legislature. We desire and urge the Federal Government that all public forests be reserved from sale, and the establishment of a forest patrol; and We favor the enactment by the State Legisla- ture of such penal laws as will lessen the danger from forest fires; and be it further Resolved, that we recognize the importance of the passage of such amendatory legislation, and urge the necessity of action upon our committee on legislation and the California representatives in our National Congress. Assessment Work. Resolved, That we heartily favor the amend- ment of sections 2319, 2320 and 2324 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States, concerning the location of mining claims, so that the loca- tor shall be accorded a reasonable and definite time within which to finally mark his surface boundaries -on the ground, soj that all local rules, regulations and cusfoms of miners and all State and Territorial law on the locations of mines shall be abolished; and so that, while Iiberal provisions shall be made for the protec- tion of the locator who holds and works his claim in good faith, the law concerning annual assessment shall most effectually check the present injurious practice of holding mining claims year after year without development. A resolution reported by the commit- tee on resolutions, in which the work of the California Club for ‘the pres- ervation ef the Calaveras Big Trees and advocating national and State legis- lation necessary to preserve the forest, was adopted. — 3 COMMITTEE WORHK BEARS GOOD FRUI T. N addition to the adoption of resolutions, in which the wishes of the representatives of the min- ing industry of California were sct forth with force and clearness, and the clection of officers } for the next year, the convention of the California Miners' Association found time yesterday to take action demanding the enaction of a new Chinese exclusion act. end yesterday afternoon. They old official board was re-clected counties. were marked with harmony in all The proceedings came to an matters of wvital concern. The with the addition of a third vice-president to represent the northern B ’ - eral in character and which are recognized as mineral by the people Who seek to secure them as such by subterfuge, legal technicalities and outright perjury, the betroleum industry faces the matter of most serlous present concern to it in its relation to the Federal laws and their administration. We believe that this problem is pecullarly one in which the whole mining industry of the State Is interested, together with the petroleum miners, and we solemnly pledge our highest endeavors to protect the heritage of the miner in the public domain in accordance with the letter and spirit of the beneficent laws which were intended by Con- gress to sacredly preserve the vast mineral re- sources of the public domain to the mining industry that their development might be en- couraged and fostered. We distinctly favor the proposition that where a contest takes place between a scripper and a miner in any de- partment of the United States land office, the burden of proof shall .be placed upon the srip- per and not on the miner. Resolved, We look forward with pardonable pride to the early construction, already as- sured, of the restraining barrier for which $650,000 has been appropriated by our State and National governments. We heartily approve the plans and_recommendations of the Call- fornia Debris Commission for the construction of such restraining barriers as outlined in their official report of 1899 to the Secretary of War, and we hereby request our delegates in Congress to use all honorable means to se- curs such added national legislation and ap- bourne. The Democratic managers decid- ed to have no speakers from other States and a campaign of eleven days will be carried on by Ohio speakers only. Kil- bourne said in part: Patriotic Republicans, you who love your country and are devoted to its free institutions, will you remain longer with those who, seek- ing to extend the exercise of arbitrary power by the Government, preach that we have out- grown the constitution, or will you unite with those who believe that the preservation of con- stitutional liberty is of greater consequence than finding new flelds for explojtation by the trusts or the establishment of a hybrid impe- rialism? The Democratic party wages no war against wealth. It is not a poor man's party nor the rich man's party. It is the people’s party. It believes that the interests of labor and capital -| should not be permitted to contilct and should be harmonized by judicious legislation, but that in the event of conflict between them labor, which is the parent of wealth, is entitled to paramount consideration. 1t opposes monop- oly, not only because it is unjust and oppre: but it would not legislate to check the legf mate operation of our great industries. It hi no sympathy with communism and anarchism, but it belleves in taxing the wealth rather than the labor of the country, and it opposes, and frum its principles must ever oppose, all sub- sidy, trusts and monopolies as hostile to the in- terests of the great body of the common people, on whose prosperity the welfare of our country depends. Dine With the Distinguished Negro. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 23.—Booker T. Washington, who is attending the Yale bicentennial celebration, was a guest of Morris F. Tyler, treasurer of the univer- gity, at a dinner at Tyler's residence on Monday _evening. Former Postmaster General Bissell also accepted an invitation to dine with Tyler that evening and met Mr. Washington. Tyler said to-day that the invitations were sent and accepted about ten days before Washington dined with the President at Washington. segregate the mineral lands wfthin the rail- road land grants of California to the end that such mineral lands may be again thrown open to exploration and purchase in the same man- ner as are the other mineral lands of the TUnited States under the Federal mining laws regulating such exploration and purchase. And we further recommend that if deemed necessary, and with the advice of the executive committee of the association, a personal representative be sent to Washington to represent the interests of the miners of Cali- fornia in this matter. Test Case Proposed. ‘Whereas, Opposition to the efforts of certain of our fellow miners to operate their hydraulic mines under the Caminetti law has been made in the courts of the State, and more suits of a similar character are threatened; and Whereas, By the injunctions obtained in ihe cases already brought under the ruling by tha court that the licenses in these particular cases were not regularly issued, the constitu- ticnality of the law has been challenged; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the executive committee of the California 'Miners' Association shall determine the constitutionality of said law in the courts of last resort by defending a test case brought against a miner holding a regularly issued li- cense by the California Debris Commission. Resolved, That we recognize the fact that the future devolpment of the State depends in a large measure upon the future development of | @ ittt ] e e et ST - THIOMNS Hewn ROM KILBOUANE WATER RIGHTS CAUSE WORRY Uneasiness in Hawaii Over a Recent Regu- lation.

HONOLULU, Oct. 16.—Considerable un- easiness has been created among some of the largest sugar planting corporations by the ruling of the Secretary,of the Interior at Washington which puts an end to the negotiations of certain capitalists for the privilege of developing the Kohala Moun- tain water. Several of the largest plantations are obtaining water rising on public lands. when conveying to his Council and inter- ested parties the decision of the Secre- tary of the Interior that it affected all such water privileges granted since an- nexation. A controversy is on between the Board of Health and the Public Works Depart- ment regarding the operation of a stone quarry, with blasting and machine crush- ing incidental, on the ‘edge of the insane asylum grounds.

Governor Dole announced, |. — Theé proceedings of the final day of the convention were enlivened by several currences. When E. C. Voorheis was re nominated for president and the nomina- tion had been rztified unanimously by the convention, the delegates all over the hall stood up and cheered wildly for Voor- heis, waving hats and canes above their heads. Only cne name was mentioned for each office when the mnomination speeches were in order. Bradley of Kl Dorado County for president nominated Voorheis, Caminetti named Fred Zeitler, Attorney General Tirey Ford named L. E. Aubury and J. H. Tibbitts of Shasta named M. E. Dittmar of Redding for ths three vice presidents. Ford made a hu- morous speech and, alluding to the im- aginary line tkat. separates Southern California at Tehachapi from the upper art of the State, made a plea for the tate as a whole. “To hell with Tehacha- pi.” said he. 5 Davis of Amador nominated Benjamin for secretary; Ralston named S. J. Hendy for- treasurer; J. H. Neff seconded the nomination of Voorheis. All the newly elected officers made neat speeches from the stage and came in for applause. Rising Vote of Thanks. Toward the close of the deliberations J. H. Neff moved that the convention ten- fefefefrielelelefeleieleink @ Boyd and George C. Beckley of the Wilder Steamship Company are mentioned as probable candidates in 1902 for Delegate to Congress. The split in the home rule party, that started at the Legislature, is extending over the group. Baron Alexander Kahlbahrs, the Rus- sian general who commanded the troops of the Czar in Manchuria during the re- cent troubles, stopped in Honolulu last night as a through passenger for San Francisco on the steamship City of Pe- king and he gave out an interview in which he stated that the province of Man- churia_is entirely sujugated to Russian rule. Baron Kahlbahrs is on his way to St. Petersburg, where he will report on his military operations, which, he says, were completely successful. There is a movement in Honolulu to erect a monument in honor of the late President. It is supported by all ele- ments. The monument will be put up by Hawaiians, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and whites by public subscription and the aid of various organizations. The police have been arresting many Porto Ricans as vagrants recently and an unprecedented amount of begging is re- ported all over Honolulu. Yesterday one Filipino. Ango, arrested as a vagrant, sur- prised the court and police by producing $4000 in cash and notes from his pockets. Gould Elected as Director. DENVER, Oct. 23.—At the annual meet- ing of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad stockholders in this city the following di- rectors_were elected: George Gould, New York; Howard Gould, New York; Arthur Coppell, New York; Clarence M.

Judge Niles Searls and Harold T. Power, both of the last two named being ill, were nonored by the orders of the convention to Secretary Benjamin to write to each a letter of condolence. At the forenoon session Congressman S. D. Woods spoke, advising that Senator John F. Dayis shouid be autnorized o draw up a bill to be presented to Con- gress to secure the needed additional ap- propriation for the Yuba River dam and promising to introduce the bill at the opening of Congress and tq follow it up in the committees. Congressman Woods also promised to prepare a mineral lands bill, copying it from the old bill that failed. He also forcibly urged that the convention should adopt resolutions con- cerning the Chinese exclusion act that the California delegation in Congress might have behind them the moral effe of the action of the California miners. Congressman Coombs spoke of the Yuba dam and other matters. He said that the Congressional delegation should give the Yuba works all the support they could in Congress. Congressman Coombs also spoke concerning the exclusion of Chinese from the United States.. He sald that 1t was whispered about in the East that the farmers and miners of California) wanted more Chinese laborers to develop their lands and mines and that railroal builders also wanted the Chinese, He did not think that representatives of these in- terests in California would sit silent un- der these imputations. He was largely acquainted with the farmers and thought that he knew their wishes concerning the exclusion of the Chinese. If there was not enough labor in Call- fornia to immediately develop its re- sources it was better to let them lie in abeyance until they could be developed by Americans, Let all interests get to- gether, he said, and tell the East that the people of the State are united against the coming in of the Chinese. Congressman Coombs also promised to work for the proposed National Department of Mines and Mining. Revising Constitution. On motion of C. T. Deane the chair was authorized to name a committee of three to revise the constitution and by-laws of the association. The committee as made up includes Martin D. Kerr of Grass Val- ley, W. H. Dunton of El Dorado County a‘nd Colonel George Stone of San Fran- cisco. The special committee to deal with th2 absent James O'Brien reported that the rights of the Government having been made secure by the prompt action of the convention, without the payment to O'Brien of the $2500 that was raised among the busines men of San Francisco, the money would all be paid back to the contributors. This closed the O’'Brien chapter with one exception. O’Brien had sent a letter to Mr. Caminetti resigning his position on the associaticn’s committee on dams. ‘Whelan of Shasta County demanded that this_letter should be read. ““No,”” answered Caminetti, “he shall not throw slurs at this convention in = letter. If he wishes to find fault let hima have the courage to come here in person and do it.” It was late vesterday afternoon when the convention concluded its labors. BRITONG TALK OF SIR REDVERS Tremendous Excitement Oaused by Dismissal of Buller. Suggestions That “Petticoat” Influence Has Been Active. RESES SN Special Dispatch to The Call LONDON, Oct. 23.—The principal topie of conversation to-day was the summary dismissal of Sir Redvers Buller. Wher- ever one went nothing else was talked about. A good deal of attention is given to one explanation of the affair., It is an open secret that what i{s known as “pet- ticoat influence’” bas been far too strong at the War Office ever since the Duke of Cambridge resisned and the present com- mander in chief has not escaped it. There are many people who are inclined to ap~ plaud the speech of H. C. Richards, K C., the night before last, at the North- ampton, who Jeclared that if Lord Rob- erts would leave bazaar openings to Lady Roberts and take staff selections and ‘War Office reforms into his own hands lohflell’e might be great reform at the War ce. “I am told,” says the fnformant, “that ever since General Buller her husband to demand the last few days her antipathy has found fresh vent owing to this Wesuninster speech. It is said she compelled ‘Bobs’ to 80 to the War Office and demand of Brodrick that he should issue an order for General Buller’'s resignation. “Such an order was issued, but oli Buller replied with a flat refusal to resign. Then Lord Roberts and Mr. Brod- rick put their heads together and waited for the King’s return to London to lay before his jesty the alternative of Buller’s dismissal or their resignation. “It was by n> means a pleasant inter view. At first the King refused point- blank to countenance any such drastic proceedings. He defended Buller right and left and declared that such a provo- cation as anonymous attacks were no warrant for such an explosion on the par: of a bluff old soldier, but Lord Roberts and Mr. Brodrick were equally stubborn. “Lord Roberts threatened to resign in- stanter unless a royal mandate was is- sued for Buller's decapitation.” CHINA NOW FEARFUL OF WU’S POPULARITY Prominence of the Chinese Minister May Cause His Recall to Peking. PEKING, Oct. 22.—There is strong oppo- sition among conservative Chinese officials to Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Minister at Washington, retaining a foreign mission. Those who take this view consider that hig popularity abroad is a proof that he is not sufficiently loyal to the interests of China. It is probable that he will be recalled and given a position on the new Board of Foreign Affairs, where. his linguistic and legal attainments may be utilized undef the eye of the Government. —_——— Accident to Transport Not Serious.
