The decision of the Union Labor confer- ence against placing a State ticket in the fleld produces a flutter of elation in the cemp of the Lane-McNab faction of the Democratic party. It transpires that Lane and McNab, assisted by John Butler of Nevada County, outwitted the Hearst fac- tion in the game of politiecs. The Lane Democrats are chuckling over the vie- tory. Gavin McNab was not visible at the conference, bui the touch of his adroit hand completed the work of turn- ing down the leaders of the Hearst fac- tion. The Republican State Committee has is- sued a circular calling upon Republicans to register before September 24, as a full registration insures the election of George C. Pardee and the entire Republican ticket. This evening the members of the execu- tive committee of the Republican party will hold a meeting in the rooms of the State committee in the Palace Hotel. W. M. Cutter of Yuba will probably be chosen chairman and E. F. Mitchell’ of Fresno secretary. The Republican” municipal convention will be held in this city on September 16. The leading candidates for Superior Judge are Judges John Hunt, J. C. B. Hebbard and Carroll Cook, C. K. Bonestell, Ed- mund Tauszky and Bruce McClelland. The Democrats will hold their municipal con- vention on September 2. Willlam Bro- beck, an assistant in the City and County Attorney’s office; Police Commissioner Dayid Mahoney and Stephen Costello are slated for places on the ticket. Some time during the present week the members of the Democratic State Central Committee will hold their initial meeting ir this city. Organization will be perfect- ea and steps will be taken to make an energetic campaign for Lane and_the en- tire Democratic ticket. Franklin K. Lane will open the Democratic campaign in this city within the week. Among the Republican candidates for nomination to the Assembly is Henry C. Dibble of the Forty-first District. The ticket he supported was successful at the recent election of delegates to the State convention, but the success was due to the fact that the Horace Davis Club and the Primary League forces failed to unite. The Twenty-fourth Senatorial District embraces the Firty-third and Forty-fourth Assembly districts. A State Senator must be chosen at the November election. The contest for the Republican nomination is interesting. Phe two foremost candidates are Martin Brady and George Willlams. It is the talk along the line that Bra has a slight margin of advantage, but the supporters of Willlams do not lack confidence or vigor. The Twenty-fourth is classed as a safe Re&)uhllcln district. The Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Assem- bly districts comprise the Twenty-second Senatorial District. The Republicans will surely elect the party nominee in this district. The leadlng aspirants of the par- ty for the honor of representing the dis- trict in the State Senate are Hamilton Bauer and Sig Bettman. —— ‘Water Supply for Mines Fails. JAMESTOWN, Sept. 7.—The water sup- ply gave out yesterday and the Phoenix Lake power-house, from which electricity is transmitted to all parts of Tuolumne County for mining purposes, closed opera- tions. - Most of the mines cut down their forces, but the shutdown is not as gen- eral as heretofore when the water supply gave out, Several of the largest mines ;’élvlv eu:omlnlue to o);er‘nto mills by steam T as long as battery water can be obtained, ” GERNAN TROOPS N WM WaR One Force Represents Invading Army of Russians, Four Days’ Fightlng’ With Blank Cartridges Is Planned. ~ FRANKFORT - ON - THE-ODER, Sep- tember 7.—Preparations are making for the autumn maneuvers which will begin next Tuesday and 92,000 troops are spread- ing over the countryside in two armies; one is marching to the eastward from here by way of various parallel roads, while the other is marching west from Posen. It has been raining all day. The General Staff, which is the brains of the German military organization, once | & year puts armies into the field under what would be the probable conditions of war, and notes the result, especially in the higher question of strategy. Kach regiment and division is exercised fre- quently in minor maneuvers in all weath- | ers and under various topographical con- ditions, but the grand maneuvers, in which several entire army corps are en- gaged, take place one year in one part of the empire and the next year in some other location, and are for the working out of fresh combinations' on a great scale. The operations now beginning will be extended over a territory which is, rough- ly speaking, thirty miles wide and fifty iniles long. The hostile army, the Blues, is povularly assumed to be Russian. It is believed to have passed the frontier, It is composed of the Fifth Corps and fractions of other corps. The whole is somewhat less than 50,000 men strong, of which 26,000 are infantry and 17,000 cavalry Wwith four regiments of field artillery de- tachments of horse artillery, machine guns, balloonists, pioneers, telegraphists and a commissary department. The advance of the Blues is presumed to have crossed a line marked by the River Obra, a tributary to the Warthe, and to be seeking to gain the left bank of the Oder and possession of the railroad Jjunction at Frankfort-on-the-Oder. The defending army, known as the Reds, is made up of the Third Army Corps and the first division of the Guards. It is somewhat more than 40,000 strong and composed of 23,000 infantrymen, 11,000 cavalrymen, five regiments of artiliery and the usual complement of aeronauts. The cavalry outposts of the two armies | are to come into touch on Tuesday morn- ing between Meseritz, Schwiebus and Bentschen. This is all the General Staff, for the present,. permits outsiders to know. Strategical movements and four days’ fighting with blank cartridges are to follow under the observation of Em- peror Willlam and the most gifted mili- tary commanders of Germany and for- elgn officers of distinction, from Italy, Austria, Great Britain, Russia and the United States. The British group alone includes Earl Roberts, Lieutenant Gen- eral Kelly-Kenny, General French and General Tan Hamilton. DYNAMITE EXPLODES IN A BURNING DEPOT Valuable Railroad Property Is De- stroyed by an Early Morning Fire in Auburn. AUBURN, Sept. 7.—A fire at 5 o’clock this morning destroyed the Auburn Rail- road depot. It is supposed to have been started by tramps. When the fire reached the freight office 5000 dynamite caps, con- signed to the Forest Hill mines, exploded, and the explosion shattered windows throughout the town. Several gasoline tanks also explpded, which made it im- possible for the firemen to keep back the flames. They turned their attention to the Au- burn and Freeman Hotel buildings ad- joining, and by heroic effort saved them from destruction. The fire engine from Rocklin did not reach Auburn till after the fire was out. The freight-house was filled with freight, and many valuables were lost in the baggage-room. The loss is probably $20,000. ———— Lake and River Claim Lives. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 7.—P. J.

PANAMA, Colombia, Sept. 7.—The Gov- ernment general, Morales Berti, who has been besieged by the insurgent forces un- der General Herrera at Agua Dulce, prob- ably has been defeated. The Government gunboats returned here last night from an exploring expedition. Officers of the expedition report having Janded at Yeguila, where the insurgent garrison was defeated afier & slight siir- mish. A few insurgent prisoners were captured ‘and it is from these men that the news of the Government's defeat at Agua Dulce nas been obtained. General Berti has been besieged since July 28. The troops of his command must have suffered terribly from lack of sup- plies during the last days of the siege, and it is sald they were compelled to eat horse flesh. Up . to August 30 General Berti had not surrendered, but since that date he is believed either to have done so 111_; lm have forced his way out of Agua ulce. Early in August the port of Agua Dulce was captured by the insurgents and the Government gunboat Boyaca, with rein- forcements for General Bertl, also fell into their hands. These facts, coupled with the scarcity of Government troops at Panama and Colon, made it impossible for General Salazar, Governor of Pan- ama, to relieve Berti. In Government circles, however, the hope is still entertained that General Berti has forced his way out of the be- sleged town, there being nothing, how- ever, to confirm this suggestion. If Gen- eral ‘Berti were defeated it is believed that General Herrera could prolong the insurrection for a few months. It is understood here that the Govern- ment will take no active steps against the insurgents at Agua Dulce until the arrival here of the new Colombian war vessel Bogota, which has been purchased at Seattle, Wash., by Senor Concha, the Colombian Minister at Washington. sz oy DENIES THAT VESSEL HAS ARMS FOR COLOMBIA Military Commander of the Jessie Banning Says Seattle Dispatch Is a Fake.

MENZES, a young Californian who, In many ways, has accomplished the unexpected in a remarkably short time, has just been hon- ored by being elected to the posi- tion of vice president of .the University of Texas. He has come to San Francisco on & visit to his relatives and also for the purpose of studying the elaborate uni- versity extension plans and the system of registration now employed in the State university at Berkeley. As our State university has grown faster than any other university in the country, Dr. Mezes concluded that it formed a center of suggestions, and that its system of | registering students might well be ap- plied in Texas, where the State college has taken such rapid strides in the last few years that its enrollment is now 1000 students. Dr. Mezes was graduated from Berke- ley in the class of '84. He took his de- | 8ree in clvil engineering, and, to the | surprise of his professors and friends, | soon after drifted into the 'study of phil- | | osophy. He pursued his studies in_ Ger- many, later taking his degree of doctor of philosophy in Harvard University in 1893. A year or two afterward he was elected fo the position of head professor of the philosophical department of the Texas State University, and for seven years has been engaged in that work. From civil engineering to philosophy is an unusual course, especially for the son of a wealthy man with excellent business prospects, but the success attained by Dr. Mezes proves that he has reached his proper sphere, for while continuing his university work in Texas he has writ- ten a book entitled “Ethics, Deseriptive GREW ABANDONG SINKING VESSEL Old Bark Ceylon Springs a Leak and Goes to the Bottom. HONOLULU, Aug. 26—The old bark Ceylon has gone to the bottom of the sea about 800 miles from Laysan Island. No lives were lost, although a portion of the crew had a narrow escape. The Ceylon left here June 4, arriving at her destination June 16. In addition to the crew, Captain Willer had his wife and son aboard. The Ceylon remained a week at Laysan, and set sail for Honolulu June 23. Two days later, while in a smooth sea and calm weather, the old vessel sprang a leak, taking in rifteen inches of ‘water an hour. The three steam pumps were started, but in ten minutes one of them broke down. The remaining two ‘were useless after the first hour. Then the crew took to the hand pumps. The water rose higher and higher, and on June 26 the captain decided to make for Laysan Island, expecting to reach there in time to save the vessel's cargo of guano. The wind changing, Captain Willer gave up the idea and headed again for Honolulu. On_July 2 the weather took a bad turn and the wind shifted so that the captain had once more to head for Laysan. On the morning of July 4 it was evident that the vessel was foundering, -and the cap- tain and crew decided to take to the boats. In_ latitude 26 degrees and 43 minutes north, longitude 166.5 west the old bark was abandoned, the crew, captain and his wife and son leaving her in three boats, the smallest of which was prompt- ly swamped. The men from her were taken on board the two larger boats. Mrs. Willer was with her husband, whose boat led the way headed for Laysan. On the same day that the old bark was deserted the captain’s boat sprang a leak. She was overloaded, and from that time until their arrival at Laysan, four days and three nights, two men were con- stantly bailing her out. Laysan Island was sighted on the evening of July 7, the lighthouse there being picked out just at dark. A landing was made that night, however, all hands being safe, though much the worse for their days and nights of peril. Many of the érew had swollen hands from overwork and all were tired and hungry.

FLAGS FLUTTER AMONG ROSES Gorgeous Decorations in Santa Rosa for the Native Sons, Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, Sept. 7.—This city is brilliantly arrayed in the offictal colors of the Native Sons for the Admission day celebration. Banners of red, white, blue and gold are everywhere among the roses. From the depot up Fourth street and far above the Atheneum streamers | and flags are interspersed with hundreds of strings of Incandescent globes, “each covered with a large Chinese lantern. Business-houses are decorated in magnifi- cent style, and nothing herefore at- tempted in the line of decoration in Santa Rosa can begin to compare with the pres- ent gala occasion. Two handsome arches have been erected and to-day the finishing touches were put on them. One is at the entrance of the city, corner Fourth and Wilson streets, and’is called the ‘““welcome arch.” On it will be inscribed the welcome of the local | b Natives to those who are visitors clfy.

BODIES OF FAIRS SPEED WESTWARD Caskets Are Placed in a Special Pullman Car, Final Ceremonies Will Take Place on Arrival in San Francisco. Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—Without cere= mony the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair were removed from the steamship St. Loufs after that vessel docked this morning. Sturdy longshoremen bore the coffins to hearses on the pier and with- out delay the latter proceeded to the Grand Central station, where the Pullman {car Ben Wyzis stood attached to the Western express, wiich left at 6 o’clock this evening. Mrs, Wililam K. Vanderbilt Jr. and Mrs. Hermann Oeirichs went to the Amer- jcan line pier at 9 o'clock this morning to receive the bodies of their brother and his wife. In heavy, lead-lined pine cases the coffins, of dull finished maple bound with wide silver bands, were taken from the ship and removed to the second cabin waiting-room, on the ground floor of the pier, which had been reserved for their reception. Here the cases were opened and Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Oeirichs, with one or two attendants, were present. In a half-hour after landing the bodies Were on their way to the Grand Central station, their care and transfer being in charge of Albert Meurer, the sexton of Trinity Chapel. No services were held in this city, as the final ceremonies are to take place in the former Western home of the young couple. On the special car the bodies were in charge of an official of the Pull- man company. Despltepthu every cabin on the big liner was filled with returning passengers there were but few on the St. Louis who knew of the presence of the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Pair on the ship until luncheon hour_on Friday. Then there came de- mands for the purser from the curious to view the mortuary chapel, but all re- quests were refused. No one was permit- ted to see the temporary resting place of Mr. and Mrs. Falr. It was a simple procession which left pier 14, East River, at the terminal of the last voyage of two who had especially been noted for their enjoyment of ocean travel. First there was a carriage con- taining Mr. Meurer and his assistants, then two hearses and, following, the car- riage containing Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Oelrichs. EX-SENATOR THURSTON TO SPEAK IN HONOLULU Accepts Invitation to Open Campaign for the Republicans of Hawaii. HONOLULU, Aug. 26.—Senator Burton and ex-Senator Thurston have been warmly welcomed on their arrival in the Territory of Hawail. Senator Burton at once left on a hunting trip, as the guest of Samuel Parker, to the latter's ranch at Mana, on the island of Hawali. On the night of their arrival from San Fran- cisco Colonel and Mrs. Samuel Parker gave an elaborate dinner to the visitors, who departed on the following morning, with the exception of ex-Senator Thurs- ton, on their hunting expedition. Senator Burton will be back here in time to meet his colleagues from Oregon and Washing- ton. Governor 8. B. Dole received the Ne- braska statesman at the Capitol building, presenting to Thurston the heads of the Territorial Government departmients and many prominent citizens who had been invited. The ex-Senator makes the trip here partly for his health and for rest | and partly as the attorney representing the Gehr interests in their fight for the Kohala water franchise. This matter he will present to the Senatorial Commission as soon as it begins its hearings. - At the request of the Young Men's Re- publican Club ex-Senator Thurston has agreed to address the Republicans at the opening of their campaign. This would have taken place Saturday, August 23, but owing to the iliness of the Senato who has been in the hands of Dr. Gal- braith since his arrival here, the address will not be delivered till the close of this week. The largest hall in the city is sure to be crowded, as Hawailans have never before had an opportunity to listen to an orator of ex-Senator Thurston’s attain- ments. ——e HUNTER AND A DEER HAVE A LIVELY BATTLE Mountaineer Shoots a Buck, and After Being Gored, Finds the Animal Dead. MARYSVILLE, Sept. 7.—Tim O’'Brien, a well-known mountaineer, relates a story of an exciting struggle with a giant buck last Saturday. hile hunting deer near Sugar Loaf he saw the big fellow and fired. The animal staggered to the ground and Tim, droppoing his rifle, ran for his prize, thinking it dead. As he took hold the buck began to struggle. Tim closed in and grasped the antlers with one hand and a tree with the other, but his strenFth finally failed and as he let go his hoid on the antlers the deer staggered to its feet, the act sending a prong well into Tim’s arm and scraping a long gash. Loss of blood eventually caused Tim to faint. Great was his sur- prise when on the way home after recov- ering sufficlently to icover the buck a mile distant,«dead. Help was later sent to the scene and the deer was brought to Bangor. Car Fatally Hurts Milkman. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7.—L. Conneally, a milkman, died to-day as the result of a street car accident. While Conneally, who was seated in a cart, was driving home early this morning he was run into by a traction car at the intersection of Vermont and Jefferson streets.
