Judge Burnett Chairman. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, May 18.—Harmony reigns in the Republican camp. The orchestra in theassembly chamber renders sweetand | alluring music before and after prayer. Fair singers with inspiring voices sing the national hymn and the liberty-lov- ing, law-abiding and peace-promoting It is so different from the Santa Cruz con- vention, where Jawbury Jones raved and Hutchinson imagined vain things; where even the miisicians of the Angel Island band were not permitted to ride | in the Hearst band wagon. The dele- | gates and spectators to-day were’ en- thusiastic to a high degree. Whenever the name of Theodore Roosevelt was mentioned a mighty round of applause was the response’ of the - audiénce. Judge A. G. Burnett, who was chosen chairman, added to his laurels as a polished speaker and also won com- pliments for hie fairness in the makeup of the committees on organization, cre- dentials and platform. Many of the eminent party leaders are on the ground and freely partici- pate in the harmony. Black Hayes and Johnny Mackenzie breathe the same | kind of air and A. Ruef makes no reference whatever to.Judge McKin- ley’s accomplishments as a typewriter. The harmony is so all absorbing that the Alameda delegation can find noth- ing to fight over. In the Fifth Con- gressional District there is just the sign of a jar, hence it was deemed best to defer the selection of district dele- gates until next Friday evening at Shiels Hall, San Francisco. C. B. Greenwell of Santa Barbara and E. O, Gerberding of Ventura are here and will no doubt keep an eye on the remaining fences of Senator Bard to guard against any damage that might be caused by George Hat- ton and John Lynch. Senator Bard will be in California next Tuesday. It was observed to-day that Thomas Flint seemed well pleased when .the standing committees were announced. No signs of displeasure were manifest- ed by John A. Britton, Charles E. Snook, Charles H. Spear, John:' F. Davig, W. M. Cutter, Colonel Forbes and A. Ruef, It is not expected that Chairman Burnett will piease everybody when it comes io the appointment of men to comprise the executive committee of the State committee,- for these .ap- pointees will be charged with the responsibility of electing a chairman | 5~ | 'Eloquent Tribut | Paid to the , President. to conduct the Presidential campaign in California.

Albert Brown of Napa, Postmaster at the Veterans' Home, who attended the Republican convention of 1856, was called to the platform and three rousing cheers were given for him. He told of coming up the Sacramento River in 1856 to attend that convention and recited a number of political stories of the early days. He referred to-many of the leading men who attended that convention and said they were the men who made California what she is to- day. He said the meeting was held out- | Republican party.

His candidacy engaged some attention, but he withdrew from the contest with the undérstanding that at the August convention he would be named as Presidential elector. The inlications are the selection of the en- tire national delegation will be accom- plished without friction. The committee on resolutions has been overwhelmed with work, and to relieve it of its burden a sub-committee | has been appointed to revise the docu- ments. The committee will report to- morrow forenoon, and in all probability the convention will adjourn sine die before the afternoon is far advanced. —————————— TRIAL OF KISHENEV RIOTERS IS CONOLUDED Several Recelve Heavy Sentences for Part in Anti-Jewish Attacks. KISHENEV, May 18.—The last trial of persons connected with the Jewish riots was concluded before the Court | of Appeals to-day. Georgitz and Re- denkoff were deprived of their civil rights and sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment for disturbance of the peace. . Kobaliehuba and Gohoff were sentenced to a year's solitary confine- ment for attempted homicide. Sib- lieff and Roolkoff were condemned to four years' penal servitude for mur- der. —_———————— Russians Driven From Kaichou. CHEFU, May 18.—As a result of the engagement which the Japanese had on Monday with the Russian garrison at Kaichou, on the coast of Liaotung peninsula, the Russians were driven out of Kaichou, which is the nearest point to Newchwang, with the éxcep- tion of the Liao River, where there is | sufficient water to allow of the land- ipg of troops, - it was not now necessary r adhered to his policy in Sheffleld |as outlined his speech. PARTY STATUS UNCHANGED. Twenty-one Unionist free traders voted against the Government, but | more than double that number would | have done so but for Balfour’s skillful intervention between Chamberlain and | his opponents. The net result of the debate, which crowded the House of Commons te a greater extent than it has been in this recent session, i that all parties stand as they were. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and his immediate following prac- tically saved the day by refusing to vote with Winston Churchill, Lerd George Hamilton, Lord Hugh Ceecll and other more ardent Unionist free | traders against Balfour. In the course of debate Lord Hugh Cecil, in scathing satire, denounced the policy of his cousin, the Premier. Chamberlain interrupted him and then a storm of interruptions and | cries of “order” rose from the Radical | and Liberal branches. Chamberlain sat down and twice the speakers ap- pealed to the members to give the former Colonial Secretary a hearing. ACCUSATION OF COWARDICE. At last there was comparative quiet and then Lord Hugh Cecil, with much heat and amid a great uproar, ac- cused Chamberlain of cowardice In dodging the i{ssue by refusing to meet his opponents in the House on the campaign which he had preached throughout the country. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach threw a bombshell into the free food camp by announcing that he would not sup- port Black's motion. Then Chamberlain reiterated that he did not wish fo raise the fiscal ques- | tion in the House. He sald he sup- ported the Government and would continue to do so. He hoped that the Premler would take his own time to | carry out his policy. Balfour said his Sheffield speech still represented the advice he would give to the country if asked to-morrow to give an election address. With a touch of passion the Premier, amid loud Ministerial cheers, repudiated Lord Hugh Cecil's charge of cowardice against Chamberlain, saying that Lord Hagh was “the man to be accused of lack of courage.” H. H. Asquith summed up for the opposition and what was something of a storm in a teacup ended with a vote of 251 to 306, defeating Black's | motion. S Chief of Police Drops Dead. VANCOUVER, B. C..
