SCHEME WORKED BEFORE. There is nothing new in this scheme. Burns played it on the Municipal Con- vention last fall. of calling the roll the ballot of the con- vention was cast for every candidate cn the siate. Bverything worked beautifully until the ticket went before the people of San Francisco on election day. Then the slate was smashed from top to bot- tom. The programme was t00 raw for the public. At least 500 of the 829 delegates chosen to represent the Republican party in the State convention were elected under promise to the people that they would oppose the renomination of Gage. The issue was for or against Gage, and the Governor lost the primary battle. Now he gmposes to plage his 300 delegates in the ands of the bosses, hoping to win by trickery and trading. in political circles that the execution of a programme as raw as that which Gage | and the bosses are devising would cause the loss of the entire State ticket. Hith- erto Republican aspirants have looked to the voters of the Republican party for success at the polls, but the Gage push is basing its caiculations on the support of the Examiner and the Labor Council. The engagement of Burns and Kelly to handle the Governor's forces is a bitter dose for several of the Republicans in the administration camp. A few months ago there was a deal of prating to the effect that Gage had liquidated all of his old obligatigns to Burns and was no longer under the thumb of this boss BURNS A BIG HANDICAP. Gosper told it in the south and it was with emphasis at the San Jose 2 that Burns, the *bogie man,” ed and that good Repub- no further cause to associates. and General George 0 into raptures of enthu- siasm over the selection of Burns to handle the Governor's fight. It is still I mind of the insiders that Stone a hard throw down when_candid; for Mayor were under consideration. The claims of General Stone were waived aside by the Colonel with the contemptuous remark, ‘‘He's only .a cheap politician.” George Knight has had it at his tongue's end to tell Gage that Burns was a bigger handicap than any Governor could carry in a race for election. Under the new arrangement Stone and Knight will be permitted to apologize to the ““Colonel” and take ma- chine orders from Kelly. LAWLOR STILL IN OFFICE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The Navy De- partment has received information con- cerning the explosion which completely wrecked the Chinese crusier Kia Chih on | June 22 last, while the ship was lying at | her station off Nanking. The explosion | occurred at 12:35 p. m. The vessel was | blown to pieces, and all of the officers iand men, about 130, were lost, with the | exception of a seaman who was picked up | slightly wounded. The jar of the explosion was felt on board the United States | steamship Helena, which was lying about half a mile distant from the unfortunate Chinese craft. The report was described as a sharp, tearing sound, resembling a gun fired with smokeless powder close by, and afterward, | it is stated, an immense column of smoke rose to a great height, the air being filled with broken and burning fragments of the ship, as well as shells and scraps of metal. The force of the explosion threw most of the projectiles iny an opposite di- rection from the Helena) and no injury was caused that vessel by falling frag- ments. In less than two minutes after the explosion six boats from the Helena, under the personal direction of Command- er R. R. Ingersoll, were skimming toward the wreck. A heavy pall of smoke settled over the spot, and when it cleared away the | bow of the Kia Chih was seen sticking up in the air. The surface of the river was | covered with splinters of woodwork, but | there was no sign of life. The cause of the explosion could not be ascertained de- finitely, but it was believed that either | the careless handling of ammunition or | the want of care in using lights in or ‘near’l_;herj'rxagz;lzwe was 2m:ountable for ir e Kia Chih was a 2100 to: s ‘mxse feet, and was built in 188‘2‘. 3 | TARDY SULTAN VEXES PATIENT UNCLE SAM | Tension Between the United States | and Turkey Is Again | Noticeable:~ | WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—It is admitted at the State Department thgt there is a | renewal of tension between the United States and Turkey, but the officials do not | deem it prudent to disclose the present | condition of affairs. They say, however, that the condition is in no way grave, but |is of that strained character which has | cecurred from time to time with Turkey | in recent years. » It is gatnered that the present tension grows out of the long-pending claims of | Americans who suffered loss during the Armenian outbreak.

Except in Glen Ellen | and. Sonoma, there was but one ticket in each township. In the former | township Wirt Travis, an antl-Gage man, defeated W. F.

Special Dispatch to The Call. TUSCON, Ariz., Aug. 19.—Three Arizona rangérs engaged in a sensational saloon fight last night in Bisbee with two mem- bers of the Bisbee police force. Revolvers flourished, several shots were fired, and after a hand-to-hand fight in the street, Burt Grover, who has the reputation of being one of the ‘“bad men” in the com- pany, was placed under arrest. Several of his companions made a ‘“gun play,” obtained the keys to the jail and released him. He is still at large, Captain Moss- man took an active part in the fight and to-day a petition was circulated in Bis- bee and signed by 2000 citizens, asking for his removal by the Governor. The fight occurred in the Orient saloon. A poker game was in progress in which Burt Grover, Captain Mossman and sev- eral others were participants. The cards | were dealt and the pot in one instance was This was won by a notorious gambler of Bisbee, which ocasioned a re- mark frcom Grover that Lhe pot was won by unfair means. Hot words were ex- changed and Grover wound up by drawing his revolver. Grover fired several times, but hit no one. At this juncture Policemen Harrington and Jennings of the city force rushed in | at the front door and took a hand in the | fight. In the mix-up that followed the two officers and Rangers Mossman, Grov- er and Page landed in the street in front of the saloon. Harrington got possession of Grover's revolver and with the assist- ance of bystanders placed him undgr ar- rest. Ranger Page and several merhbers of the company stationed at Bisbee went to the jail, where they obtained the keys at the point of their weapons, and released Grover, The latter jumped on his horse and rode away with his 7ellows. An attempt was made to arrest Grover and Page, but thus far they have eluded the vigilance of the officers. Marry at Short Notice. REDDING, Aug. 19.—One of the quick- est society weddings on record occurred in Red Bluff late Saturday night. Hon. Frank Freeman, the lawyer-editor of Willows, arrived in Red Bluff on_the evening train to visit his flancee, Miss Edna West, daughter of Dr. J. W. West. Freeman wanted to return south on the midnight train. He asked Miss West if she would like to go with him and she said “yes.” Within an hour they had got a Deputy County Clerk to issue a license and had gone to a parsonage and been married. Dr. West returned home from a visit to find his_daughter donning her traveling clothes. He was in time to bid the bride and her husband godspeed and good-by.

The supporters of Gage tried to get in one delegate by put- ting up a ticket with the single name of Charles Olm upon it. Every attendant at the home voted for Olm, while Dr. Law- lor made a hard fight among residents for the Olm ticket, but Poppe and Wagner were elected by a majority of 66. In the primaries for county convention delegates there were contests in more than half of the precincts. This was due to the District Attorneyship fight. 0. 0. Webber, the incumbent, is working hard for a renomination, while C. H. Pond of Healdsburg has a strong follow- ing in both the southern and the northern ends of the county, where his delegates won. In all other contests the Webber forces won. The delegates appear to be about evenly divided. e e R 9 INSANE VETERMN USES REVOLVER Mortally Wounds Hos- pital Steward in Sol- diers’ Home, Bpecial Dispatch to The Call.

So-day he procured hiquor, and, arming Nmself with a re- volver, started to look i\r the officers of the Home, declaring thal he would kill all of them. Those who heard him did not know he was armed and miade no at- tempt to restrain him. He ensered the hospital and went at once to the stew- ard’s room, where he found Lasher seat- ed at a desk. Without a word of warn- ing Gerant fired at him, the first bullet inflicting the fatal wound. Lasher tried to seize his assailant, but as he approached Gerant backed away and fired the remaining four shots from his revolver, three of them taking effeet, Lasher fell 'and Gerant, having no more ammunition, hunted up the guard and surrendered himself.

Los Angeles County Republican Convention Damns Herrin's Gov- ernor With Faint Praise. Special Dispatch to The Call. 0S ANGELES, Aug. 19.—With a view of offsetting in some meas- ure the moral effect of the prac- tical repudiation of Gage in the recent primaries the Gage sup- porters made a tremendous effort to-day to gain control of the organization of the Republican County Convention. That they were successful is not surprising un- der the circumstances, nor is it at all discouraging to those opposed to Gage, for it has no significance in the State campaign. In the election of delegates to the county convention the anti-Gage forces took no part as such. They did not seek to enter the county contest at all, being content to direct their best efforts toward the selection of their own dele- gates to the State Convention. On the other hand those who are Gage partisans seem to have prepared for just such an emergency and by selecting their delec- gates to the county convention they were able to organize that body and adopt as a part of the report of the committee on @ sivirivieleirieiefoifelaiefefefuinielel @ MACHINE SLATE BROKEN. Gageites Emncounter Trouble in the Sacramento Convention. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 19.—The Republi- can County Convention was held this af- ternoon and evening .in the Assembly chamber of the State capitol and com- pleted the county ticket. The platform as adopted praises the Republican Na- tional and State ~administrations and menticns Henry T. Gage as the special champion of the laboring men and the watch dog of the Treasury. Although adopted by a convention made up of Sac- ramento citizens, the platform did not ask that Gage obey the constitutional mandate to make this city his place of residence, instead of visiting it on such rare occasions as suits his convenience. The platform also contains a clause praising United Sthtes Senator George C. Perkins and holding that the best inter- ests of the community demand hisre-elec- tion, but it is a fact that was generally known in the convention hall that the verbal bouquets for Gage and Perkins were not bestowed with that free hand which imparts the chief value to a gift. In fact, although the convention was made up in large part of Gage adherents, there was a strong sentiment against per- sonally indorsing either Gage or Perkins. The objecting delegates maintained that some glittering generalities on the Re- publican party as an institution would answer every purpose. The Gage ma- ckine men were active, however, while Postmaster J. O. Coleman and Revenue Collector Henry Beil, who received their appointments through the efforts of Sen- ator Perkins, managed to have him among_ those mentioned. Grove L. John- son, who received the nomination for the Assembly from the Seventeenth District, strenuously opposed the indorsement of Perkins. As showing that the Gage machine had some decldedly weak spots, it may be said that the slate was broken In more than one place. J. E. Blanchard was pro- grammed by the Gage supporter for County Superintendent of Schools, and Major C. W. Kyle, clothing commissary in the Folsom State Prison and an ad- ministration man, handled his fight. ‘When it came to the vote, however, the programmed Blanchard was defeated by the incumbent, B. F. Howard, the vote standing: Blanchard 131, Howard 143. The romiration of J. M. Higgins for Assem- blyman from the Eighteenth District also upset the calculations of the slate mak- ors. i S X But theé most direct opposition to the Gage machine was developed in the turn- ing down of Thomas McCabe, a prominent labor leader and one of the speakers at the recent Union Labor l.cague meeting, engineered by Dan Kevane in Gage's in- terest. When the roll was called it was found that Lincoln Willlams had defeated McCabe for the nomination for County Auditor. The convention gave many other indi- cations of being less subservient to the Gage machine than the latter confidently boasted and even the indorsement of the Governor was a rather perfunctory af- fair, which went through because nobody deemed it worth while to get up on the floor and oppose it. ‘The following is the ticket as noml- nated: Superior Judges, E. C. Hart, 8. S. Hall, Bugene Aram; Sheriff, David Reese; County Clerk, W. B. Hamilton; Assessor, T. H. Berkey; Auditor, L. P. Williams; Recorder, R._T. Cohn; District Attorney, Charles T.

To-day 200 white laborers made a similar demand, and, upon refusal, promptly quit work. resolutions an indorsement of the State administration. This does not mean necessarily that the Gage faction is in a position to dictate the nominations of the convention, as there are too many contests in which ex- tensive trading has been done to make it possible for the “push” to keep its dele- gates as a unit and thus control all of the nominations. The fight for the chairmanship was be- tween Oscar Lawler, the Gage candidate, and Hon. Will A. Harrls, whose name was presented by the anti-Gage faction. After a spirited fight, in which the pe: sonal popularity of the younger candi- date won him many votes, Lawler was elected, receiving 424 votes to 335 for Har- ris. THis resuit gave the Gage crowd con- trol of the committees and rendered It easy for them to spring any sort of in- dorsement of Gage and his methods that they chose. It was expected, of course, that the committee on resolutions would report a long set of resolutions praising the executive, but as this would have precipitated a bitter and needless fight it was decided by the members of that com- mittee to be more modest. They there- fore, referred to the Governor in the re- port thus: Resolved, That-this convention indorses the able, business-like and economic adminstration of Henry T. Gage. There was not enough in this resolution tc justify a contest and the report of the committee was adopted without division, the anti-Gage delegates taking the pos tion that if Gage could get any satisfac- tion out of such faint praise he was wel- ccme to it. Another section of the report contained an indorsement of Senator Perkins and called upon the Los Angeles members to the next Legislature to support him for re-election. Congressman McLachlan also was indorsed. The routine business of the convention consumed the balance of the day’s ses- sion and to-night balloting for nominees for Superior Judges began. The follow- ing were chosen, all being renominations of incumbents: M. T. Allen, Luclen Shf\w, B. N. Smith and N. P. Conrey.
