The decision of the executive body of the Republican State Committee in favor of giving to the rank and file of the party the fullest and fairest opportunity to be represented in the nominating convention meets with general commendation. The machine had already made arrangements for the appointment of Gage delegations in Humboldt, Tuolumne, Calaveras and other counties. Hender was counted on to deliver Tuolumne County to Herrin, Burns and Gage. The boast was openly made. that Bull would bring down the Humboldt delegation to be used as the bosses should desire. The bosses in theip desperation may attempt to set aside the recommendations of the executive com- mittee and force the general committee to a recognition of the machine method of | appointment. The Governor is enlarging his gold-brick yard to embrace the reward industry. Not Batisfied with the offer of gilded padkages to the army of job chasers, he is going still further and promising réwards whicn the law does not authorize him to offer and which he cannot legally pay from the State funds. Section 1547 of the Penal Code gives the Governor this authority: The Governor may offer a reward, not ex- ceeding $1000, payable out of the genéral fund, for the apprehension: First—Of any convict who has escaped from the State Prison; or Second—Of any person who has committed or s charged with the commission of an offense punishable with death. Another section of the code extends in this wise the reward offering power: Section 1. The Governor shall offer a stand- ing réward of three hundred dollars ($300) for the arrest of each person engaged in the rob- bery of or in an attempt to rob any person or persons upon, or having in charge, in whole or in part, mny stage coach, wagon, railroad train or other conveyance engaged at the time in carrying passengers, or any private convey- ance within this State, the reward to be paid to the person or persons making the arrest im- mediately upon the conviction of the person or persons so arrested; but no reward shall be paid except after such conviction. On his own personal account the Gov- ernor may offer a reward of one million dollars for the arrest and conviction of thugs, but he cannot authorize to pay a dollar of the-public money for such pur- pose. His latest reward of $500 is offered, not by virtue of authority vested in him by the constitution and laws, but by his irresistible and uncontrollable impulse to pass out a gold brick on every occasion. If, Gage desires to shine as a captain of reward industry, let him increase the amount offered for the apprehension of the “man who struck Billy Patterson.” Other mysteries might be solved by the g‘rudent investment of money in rewards. he world has long desired to know ‘“‘where Moses was when the lights went out.” Here is a field for Gage to fill. Let him offer a reward of $600 to ascertain the whereabouts of Moses. While on the sub- ject of rewards Gage might offer a bonus of one thousand dollars for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who ut the gubernatorial bee in Eugene chmitz's bonnet. The Harbor Commissioners yesterday overlooked the request made ‘by ship- owners representing more than 500 vessels to_reaj nt George H. 8. Dryden to the office of assistant chief wharfinger. Dry- den’s term exdplred a few weeks ago. The board yesterday, on the motion of Com- missioner Mackenzie, appointed J. G. Tyr- rell as Dryden’s successor. As wharfinger and assistant chief, Dryden has rendered the Btate eight years of fajthful service. He thoroughly understood the require- ments of his office and is held in high esteem by the !h%pplng community, the leading members of which made an urgent ret‘uenl to the board for his retention. This request was ignored, however, and GAPITAL LABOR RCLES AGTIVE Numerous Unions Take Steps to Increase Their Wages. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, April 30.—At present there is great activity in labor circles in’ Sacramento, and several organizations have taken steps to obtain increéased wages. To-day a committee from the employes of the streetcar lines of the Sacramento Gas, Electric and Rallway Company held a conference with Man- ager Albert Gallatin, looking to a read- Jjustment of the wage schedule. The best of feeling prevailed, and the men express the belief that they will obtain all they desire without resort to an ultimatum. The committee received with favor a proposal from the company and will re- fer it to the carmen for their action. It provides that all men in the company's service less than two years shall be paid 21 cents an hour; those employed from two to five years, 22 cents; five to eight years 23 cents; eight years and over, 24 cents. - As near as possible, the figuring centempiates a ten-hour day. The com- pany has always supplied passes over its lires to the families of its employes and the men are pald every night. All of the members of the Journeymen Carpenters’ Union will demand $3 50 for an eight-hour day to-morrow. Members of the Builders’ Association do not take kindly to the demand, saying they have many men working for $2 a day, who are not sufficiently skilled to receive $350 a day. The union insiste on the flat rate, however, and trouble is looked for. To-morrow the local Horseshoers’ Union will insist on compliance with its demand, notice of which was served three weeks ago, for 33 a day for floor- men and $3 50 for firemen, instead of $2 50 and $3, as heretofore. It is expected that thf employers will pay the increased rate. A disagreement is declared to have arisen between the Sub-Contractors’ As- scciation and the union painters and grainers, growing out of the latter doin; work for sub-contractors not members o the assoclation. It is said that the dif- ficulty will be settled by arbitration. The owners of small express wagons have formed a union and applied to the Federated Trades Council for a charter. The Stable Employes’ Protective Union has been organized, with sixty members. Carpenters May Strike, LOS ANGELES, April 30.—Union car- penters ma‘x strike to-morrow if their de- mand for $350 a day be not complied with. Contractors were informed of the C. J. ?(mm"d request two weeks ago. ubach is of the opinion the union’s de- mand will be complied with generally, although J. W. Morrison, who is con- nn;g(lng a large hotel, says he will not accede. @ il il @ State Senator J. G. Tyrrell, formerly a deputg at the Morgue and at present em- loyéd in the internal revenue office, will o-day_assume the responsible duties of the office.

PITTSBURG, April 30.—The May day strike fever is on In this city, and in the morning nearly 12,00 workmen will fail to report for duty because thelr employers have refused to comply with: their de- mands for advances in wages and short- ening of hours, the principal demand of all the unions being for an eight-hour day. Those who will strike to-morrow are the structural iron workers, numbering 2300; carpenters, 5000; house wire men, 250; tile setters, 200; slate and tile roofers, 300; sheet metal workers, 300; plumbers (prob- ably), 650; bricklayers, 2000; lathers, 300. PROVIDENCE, R. I, April 30.—An un- looked-for development in the affairs of the American Woolen Company, in con- nection with the strike of weavers, in thirteen of its mills, came to-day when an order was issued to gradually close the yarn-making departments in the Ol- neyville mills. Over 1200 hands will be paid off. The closing of a number of mills of other cities has stopped the de- mand for yarns. It is estimated that this strike at present affects 20,000 persons. EAU CLAIRE, Wis., April 30.—W. H. Hamilton of Watertown, N. Y., an or- ganizer for the United Brotherhood of Paper-makers, who ! has been working here and elsewhere in the State, was ar- rested here to-night on a warrant charg- ing conspiracy to compel the Dells Paper and Pulp Company of Eau Claire to close down its mill every Saturday night, and to cause a strike and otherwi#h injure the business of the company. NEW YORK, April 30.—After spending two days in endeavoring to arrive at a settlement of their differences, the oper- ators and representatives of the United Mine Workers of America, who were brought together by the officers of the National Civic Federation, have again re- ferred their troubles to the committee on conciliation of that body. When the com- mittee will meet for the purpose of taking the matter up had not up to a late hour to-night been definitely settled, but the probability is that the meeting will take place either Friday or Saturday of the present week. Every opportunity to obtain information from those who have taken part in the conference proved futile. The operators, however, seemed in a happy frame of mind. Nor did the, miners seem in any degree downcast, and the consensus of opinion among outsiders was that some progress had been made toward an ami- cable settlement. BUFFALO, April 30.—Two thousand car- penters and 500 plumbers employed in this city will strike to-morrow for more wages. The carpenters demand 37% cents an hour. They now get 30 cents. The lumbers want an advance from $3 to 50 per day. PATERSON, N. J., April 30.—Between 500 and 600 carpenters went on strike here to-day. To-morrow the electrical work- ere and hodcarriers are expected to strike. The striking carpenters demand 3714 cents an hour for an eight-hour day, and a Sat- urday half holiday. CHICAGO, Aprii 80.—Seven hundred em- ployes of Morgan & Wright, manufactur- ers of bicycle tires, went on strike to-day to compel the reinstatéfent of fellow workmen who, it is alleged, were dis- charged for joining a labor union. One hundred of the strikers are girls. Mr. Herbert Willlams, tenor, will be the soloist at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s Angelus Piano Recital, occumn% next Saturday afternoon at their hall.

A visit to the many studios gives one an idea of the ex- cellence of the work done and in course of completion, and also shows the inclina- tion of visitors to San Francisco to pat- ronize the painters of California. That the California artist is in demand is shown by the orders given and the sales that have been made this year to East- ern people, Orrin Peck, who is looking toward a summer trot through England, France and Germany, is completing a picture of Charles Stetson Wheeler. The likeness of the Regent of the University of Cali- fornia is striking in its naturalness. Peck’s picture of Wheeler will be a companion painting to the very admirable picture that he painted of Mrs. Wheeler and which was seen on exhibition at the Bohemian Club and the spring exhibition at the Hopkins Art Institute. Another picture in course of development by the artist is that of Mrs. Elzabeth Brice, which promises to be a masterpiece of portrait painting. Peck’s picture of President Benjamin Ide Wheeler is to be sent to the subject this week and the painting of Dr. Martin Kellogg, which the public had a chance to view lately, will be placed on the walls of the library of the University of Cali- fornia in the course of a few days. Charles Dickman is looking forward to his sunmer retreat in beautiful Monterey. He will be in close proximity to Charles | R.
