This distribution was made in large part to-day. 1t is probuble that some state- ment concerning the proportion of with- drawals will be made in a few days. The sum of $5,000,000 was paid to J. P.

Strength of Party Will Surely Be Rallied. N enthusiastic conference of the candidates on the Republican ticket and the members of the advisory council ‘of the United Republican League was held at 18 Geary street last evening.. All the candidates were present and every district of - the eity was rep- resented. Hon. A. P. Willlams, president of the league, called the meeting to order. Henry J. Crocker, John E. McDougald, Harry Baelr, E4d J. Smith, General E. S. Salomon, Willlam E. Lutz and several of the candidates for Supervisor addressed the meeting. The sentiment was ex- preesed that the Republican party would achleve. victory at the municipal election on Tuesday, November 3. Reports of Re- publican unity and activity came from every section of the city. It was resolved that the campaign should fe conducted with eriergy and vim in évery precinct of San Franclsco, It was suggested that the active co-operation of every Hepublican voter should be invited—not only Repub- licans who are affillated with the league. but all other Republicans. The candl- dates, freely ard without reserve, pledged themselves to work for the entire ticket and to use avery honorable efiort to de- velop- the entire voting strength of. the party ‘and to bring into line all good cit- izens, regardless of party afliation, who are in favor of honest municipal govern- ment and a newer and better San Fran- cisco. The utmost confidence in the vic- { torfous finish -of .the battle was expressed by the speakers. The-declaration that no one man was. bigger than the party was applauded. It was determined that a small eam- ‘palgn committee, composéd of active and resolute-men, should: be appointed.

Lamson, the well-known pio- neer auctioneer of this city, died yester- day at the French Hospital, He was " vears of age and had been 2 sufferer from Bright's-disease for some time. Last winter his health falled and he was_ confined tg his. bed *for some time, but recovered suffictently to continue his bustness. - A short time ago he was again | taken ill and went to the French Hos- pital, where he remained until death. George F. Lamson was at one time a Baptist clergyman, but he left the minis- try to enter.the auctiopeering business. As an auctioneer he ranked among the foremost in San Francisco and amassed a considerable fortune. He had two daughters—Nance .O'Neil and Lillian Lamson—both of whom sought honors on the stage, much against thelr | father's wishes. When. Nance O'Neil| wanted to go on the stage a rupture oc- | curred between Lamson and his wife, he being very much against the girl becom- ing an actress and his wife favoring the move. - Lamson was a devout Baptist and as his wife and he could not agree vn the | question of the girl's becoming su ac- | tress they separated. The night that Nance first went on the | stage her father got up.in the old First Baptist Church of Oakland during a that success might never attend his| daughter while she continued her career upon.the stage.’ His other daughter Lilllan soon ' fol- lowed in her sister's footsteps and the father in his anger refused ever to have - anything more to do with his daughters or his wife. Lamson continued his auctioneering business and by bad speculations In a short time lost all his fortune. While sick last winter he was in straitencd circumstances. The'Rev. H. J. Vosbargh | of ‘the First Baptist Church of Oakland went to his assistance and interested his congregation so that the unfortunate man was taken ecare of. It was said last night by those who were intimately acqudinted with the late Mr. Lamson that it was not long after the appearance of Miss O'Neil that he bécame. reconciled with his daughter and that when bad fortuns came to him Miss O'Nell sent her father a monthly allow- ance, which continueéd until his death. The sick man was supposed to be weil on the way to recovery and his death comes as'@ shock to all who knew bim. ‘Ho was well known, well liked and much respécted. The funeral will be held Saturday from .Tdylor's undertaking- parlo corner of Clay--.and Fourtéenth streets, Oskland. The Rev. H. J.
