He remarked that the Republicans were not always right, for that was something beyond human achievement, but the fact was obvious that the Democrats were eternally and everlastingly wrong. W. 8. Wood of San Francisco then moved that Judge Burnett be elected by acclamation. The motion pre- vailed and Mr. Cutter appointed E. F. Woodward, M. L. Ward, F. P. Tuttle and Frank H. Short as a committee to escort Judge Burnett to the chair. Judge Burnett in acknowledging the at . honor conferred on him spoke in part follow: PARTY'S PATRIOTIC COURSE. We are standing on the threshold of a cam. &n of very great interest to the American people. We might go further and say that it will attract the attention and affect the welfare of the whole civilized world. But while approaching election is of tremendous im- rtance, and while we are entirely convinced iat the highest interests of the nation demand that the Republican party be continued in power and that our great leader be elected President of the United States, yet, of course, no intelligent man belleves and no honest man would sssert that the foundations of the Gov- ernment are in danger or the institutions of liberty imperiled. There are too many honest, intelligent. liberty-Joving, God-fearing, law- respecting and patrfotic citizens in _both the political parties to tolerate any policy that would jeopardize our national integrity or break down the bulwarks of our constitutional rights. We may also rest assured that no man will be elected as chief executive of this mighty republic whose ability or charac- ter is unworthy of '.he traditions of that great office, honored almost sacred by the incumbency of Washington, Jefferson, Lin. coln, Grant, McKinley and Roosevelt. In mccordance with custom, each of the ap- proaching national conventions will promul- gate & declaration of principles indicating what they conceive to be the wisest policy for the Government to pureue. There will probably be very little difference between these plat. forms, as far as the positive announcement of political or economic doctrine is concerned.

The great heart of the American people knows that the President Is not only a man of unsullied honor, a patriot tried and true, his mind aflame with a consuming desire to do great and noble things, to make any sac- rifices of ease and comfort, and of life itself if necessary, for the welfare of the people; to vindicate himself, under God, as worthy | of the confidence of noble men and womes but also that the Government could not be intrusted to eafer hands. Neither capital nor labor has any just ground to fear the ad- ministration of this patriotic and fearless lead- er, because he will treat them both with abso- lute fairness and an unseifish desire to do right. As sn American citizen, 1 consider it the greatest honor to have the privilege of contributing in any degree to the triumphant election to the Presidenoy of Theodore Roose- velt, the able statesman and valiant Christian gentleman We will meet with a united front our op- ponents with thelr chosen battle cry, ‘“Roose- velt must be beaten,” and upon our banners, under which shall march to a great victory the majority of the patriotic citizens of this land, shall be inscribed as our oriflame in let- ters of Uving light: “For the welfare of the people and the greatness of the nation Roose- velt must and shall be elected.” On motion of Frank H. Short a committee on credentials, three at large and three from each Congres- sional district, was authorized and on motion of John F. Davis a committee of similar proportions on resolutions was ordered. A like committee on permanent organization and order of business was next created. It was ordered on motion of G. R. Lukens that all resolutions be referred without reading or debate to the com- mittee on resolutions. The convention then took a recess for a half hour. ‘When the delegates were again called to order Judge Burnett announced the following committees: COMMITTEES APPOINTED.

(ALL HEADQUARTERS, MENTO, Cal, May 18.—A platform so short, sharp and crisp that no reader | of the English language can doubt its | meaning, will be presented to the con- | vention in the morning. Until long after midnight the subcommittee, to | which was delegated the work of pruning the elongated portions and patching the rough edges of the docu- ment to be presented to the convention in the morning, was in session. Just | CONCISE. | | | | the committee on platform and resolu- tions declined to state, but it is a known fact that brevity will be one of its salient features National issues will be fully consider- ed in concise form and State matters will not be touched upon except in a general indorsement of the Republican administration of State affairs. Na- tional irrigation will be thoroughly en- dorsed, as will also the isthmian canal and matters pertaining thereto. The administration of national affairs under the direction of Theodore Roosevelt will be indorsed in emphatic terms. National affairs will be treated with | solely. It was considered entirely out | of place for this convention to go into | State matters as it is assembled for | national purposes alone. | The convention of August will have State matters strictly within its prov- ince, hence the committee did not deem it proper to go into such questions which are of State but not of neces- sity national importance. In that particular the customary eu- logies of Congressional representatives will be left for further consideration in the morning. There is apparently an effort being made to temper the report in that regard, as some are of the opin- ion that to too highly commend the California delegation in Congress might be construed as favoring Senator Bard. Resolutions were offered the com- mittee upon all such questions usual- ly considered by a political conven- tion. Taking the position that only general matters of national import- ance should be considered, the greater bulk of the resolutions w laid on the table and the few whic ere ac- cepted were boiled down to the es- sence of the subject. The delegates at large to the na- tional convention will be instructed to vote for Theodore Roosevelt for can- didate for President of the United States. The name of Theodore Roosevelt will be recommended to the delegates from the different Congressional districts as the man for whom they should cast SACRA- | exactly what that phraseology will be | | [ | Nothing | 1t wa, | | - (f/fr[.t/ "flfiggfifi" | CHAIRMAN OF REPUBLIC.

HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- May 18.—Secretary of State expressed his regret that ble to attend the Democrat- Conventifon and watch the CALL he was unas State fight. tle and he said that from what he gathered from the newspapers, the contest must have been a rouser. Chairman Burnett won commenda- tion to-day for the manner in which he expedited the work of the convention. remarked, however, that if he wants to keep his reputation for speed he should be careful never to take up the gavel to lead a bunch of Helleger- ants such as assembled last Monday in Santa Cruz. Governor George C. from the city way on the 7:30 train. He repaired at once to the executive mansion and took no active part in the interchange of political gossip that kept the delegates busy. The situation in the Democratic camp as demonstrated in the convention at Santa Cruz was discussed with much amusement by the Republicans to-day. Notwithstanding the result of the vote | on instruction resolution, it is the opin- jon of Republican leaders that the Mec- Nab-Lane organization is the dominant power in the State Democracy. They are of the opinion that a political issue was not at stake but merely one of | sentiment. It 1s ugreed here to-night by poli- ticians, Democrats as well as Republi- cans, that the action of the Santa Cruz convention will add 5000 to the Repub- lican majority in California. Among the heartily welcomed Repub- lican leaders in Sacramento is Duncan E. McKinlay, prospective nominee of the Republican party for Congress in the Second District. He is receiving an exceptionally warm greeting from the working men of Sacramento. It is predicted that Roosevelt's ma- jority In the second district will ap- proximate five thousand and McKinley will not be far behind the head of the ticket. In the convention oratory to-morrow on the occasion of presenting the names of Governor George C. Pardee, John D. Spreckels, J. W. McKinley and George A. Knight for delegates at large, such able speakers as John F. Davis of Amador, Frank H. Short of Fresno, Thomas Selvage and Judge Hunter, of Humboldt, will be heard. Postmaster Arthur G. Fisk arrived here on to-night’s train and spent sev- eral hours trying to tap the under cur- rent of sentiment in the convention. As there was none to tap, he was forced to agree with the general opin- fon that this is one of the smoothest conventions of modern times. Henry Ach also arrived on the late train. He expressed regret that he had missed George A. Knight's speech, but otherwise was satisfled with con- ditions as he found them. E. Myron Wolf came to town from San Fran- cisco too late to do much lobbying, if lobbying had been necessary, so he contented himself by recounting - tales of bitter political battles that have long been history.

The chief interest centers in the election for the office of grand pre- late, for which position several prom- inent candidates have announced themselves. Dr. H. C. Bagly of San- ta Maria, who was a candidate for the office last year, is again in the field with strong backing. Two candidates from the south, will each have friends among the dele- who gates from the other side of the Te- hachapi as well as some from other parts, are Colonel James C. Scarbor- ough of Los Angeles and Walter B. Wagner of San Bernardino. A fourth candidate who is being prominently mentioned is Honorable M. L. Short | Major Carrington Talkes Bat- | talion of Filipinos to St.| Louis and Then Disappear AT S ’ The report published in the Army | and Navy Journal which reached here yesterday, announcing the fact that | Major Frank de L. Carrington had dis- | appeared, has caused a big sensation at army headquarters at the Presidio. | | In the article no reason was assigned | ‘for Carrington’s action. It ximr\lyi | stated that General Bates, in command | | of the Divisicn of the Northwest, with | | headquarters at St. Louis, had advised |the War Department at Washington | | that Carrington was missing. | Major Carrington well known on | this coast and his visit here last month, | when he was in command of the pro- vincial battalion of Philippine Scouts | and their splendid band, brought him inte much prominence berore the pub- lic. For several years he was stationed | in the Philippines, and about a year | ago the Government ordered him to | organize a battalion of Filipinos and | | bring them over to Louis to take | | part In the Leuisiana Purchase Expo- | sition proceedings. Major Carrington, with his battalion of 413 Filipinos, land- | ed here on March 14. Immediately | after their arrival they commenced giving a series of afternoon drills and band concerts at the Presidio. Their snappy action and the expertness with | which they went through the different maneuvers, and especially their work in the Butts manual of arms exercise, won for them great applause daily. | CARRINGTON IS PRAISED. Major Carrington was congratulated | {on all sides both by army officers of | high rank and also by citizens who | | went to the post to enjoy and applaud the remarkable wqgk of the litte | lhrn\\n men who had been drilled un- | der his tuition. A few days before the battalion was | to start East, telegraphic orders came | | from Washington relieving Major Car- | rington of his command and ordering him to report to the commanding of- ficer in the Philippines. This caused | no end of astonishment in army circles | here, and while the matter was being | discussed, a second order came, coun- termanding the first one, and ordering | Carrington to proceed to St. Louis and | there give up his command and report to the War Department at Washington. Major Carrington was greatly upset at these Proceedings, and from his usual Jovial manner he suddenly became morose and downcast. On April 9 General MacArthur or- dered an inspection and review of the | scouts. A great crowd of spectators were present and on all sides it was | noticed that Major Carrington ap- peared to be laboring under a state of ; great excitement. His manner was so much at variance with his usual de- meanor that it was noted by the com- manding general. IS ASTOUNDED AT ORDERS. In speaking of the orders from Wash- ington, Major Carrington said: I am astounded that I am to be relieved of I have worked hard and long. the Louis and D] my command, You can all see this by the fine drill ecouts put up. I shall go to St then report to Washington. I shall Secretary Taft, and personally I him to keep me in command of my talion. The reason for the Government or- dering him to return to the Philippines were never made public, but it was rumored that he had been lax in keep- ing accounts of certain moneys alloted to him to defray the expenses of get- ting the battalion ready to come to this country. There was no charge in any way brought against Carrington or any suggestion entertained that there was any misappropriation of funds. It was reported that he had simply faifd to return a detailed statement with vouchers attached to | candidate | ¥ of Hanford, ounty.

The Knights spent the whole of to- | day seeing the sights in the Kern| River oil fields, where a basket picnic | was given and attended by about 700 | people.

To clear up the affair the Government ordered him back to Manila, where it is rumored he was to appear before a court mar- tial and explain the situation. ‘Whether this has anything to do with Major Carrington’s disappearance is not known. Officers here can throw no light upon the subject. IN TROUBLE BEFORE. Major Carrington has been in trouble in San Francisco before. Shortly after the outbreak of the war with Spain the major, then a captain, who was | regarded highly at Washington as a tactician and disciplinarian, was as- signed to duty in San Francisco as mustering officer for the volunteer commands and to him devolved the duty of whipping the First California Volunteer regiment into shape for service duty. He was well received by the club men of this city and par- ticularly by William Greer Harrison, who was recognized as his sponsor, After his duties had been completed Major Carrington suddenly came into unexpected notoriety by reason of many personal obligations which he had failed to meet. The fact of his embarrassment became known through a letter addressed by Willlam Greer Harrison to a number of the major's friends, asking them to unite in a quiet movement toward settling the bills of the army officer. This wag finally ac- complished. The affair created much comment among the club men and for a time practically ostracized Carring- ton from social life in this city. ————— WASHINGTON, Pa., May 18.—Senator Quay's condition to-day was unchanged, ''Namethe Mem- bers of St_ate Body.
