The “stalwarts’” delegates at large who are seated are Senator John C. Spooner, nator Joseph V. Quarles, Congpessman J. W. Babcock and Emil Baensch. After the national committee had de- cided agalnst the supporters of the Governor from Wisconsin, the leaders of the La Follette side announced their ¢ determination to carry their fight to the end and it is probable that in spite of the decision of the committeemen that the dispute will again be fought out before the committee on creden- tials in the national convention.

The State commissioners will be asked to select a date for the open- ing. The exvense will be paid by the counties’ organization. A fund for local advertising has also been raised by the county commission- | ers, and fair visitors will be informed ! through various sources that the most wonderful exhibit of the soil's products ever gathered together on the face of the globe is to be seen in the California section of the Palaces of Agriculture and Horticulture. The object is to make the California displays in these build- ings objects that “must be seen” by visitors who wish to see the fair's main features. Two aged bells, one of which rang before the caravel of Columbus sighted the outlying islands of the New World, are objects attracting curious throngs at the New Mexico bullding. The com- missioners of that Territory have made |'a representative and comprehensive display. Their building is of the Span- lish style of architecture, pretty and | tastefully furnished. M. W. Porterfield of Silver City is manager here for the | New Mexico commission, and Mrs, Sal- | lle Douglas of Las Vegas is hostess at | the building. J. A. Graham of Roswell is superintendent of the agricultural and horticultural displays. Professor | H. A. Owen of the Silver City Normal ‘}St‘hm:l has the educational exhibit in charge, and that of mines is under Pro- fessor D. F. Riddell of the State Min- | Ing School at Socorro. An ethnological exhibit is also made, it being under the care of Antonio Joseph Jr. of Santa Fe. The Territorial commission consists of Charles A. Spiess, president; Carl A. Dalies, vice president; Arthur Selig- man, treasurer; W. B. Walton, secre- | tary; Herbert J. Hagerman, Eusebio Chacon and Fayette A. Jones. { The claim is made at New Mexico's educational booth that she maintains at public expense a greater number of institutions for higher education in proportion to population than any State in the Union. The exhibit shows the facilities for instruction to be the best. A unique feature of this display is a collection of bird skins, prepared by pupils and illustrating the varieties of birds of New Mexico. In her mining section New Mexico shows an almost endless variety of minerals. She makes an extensive dis- play of iron and coal in large blocks and also shows sulphur, mineral paints, mica, asbestos, copper, zinc and lead. were presented by the graduates, the| The zinc specimens are particularly at- class poem was read and the class song | tractive and were prepared by the So- sung.

The Women's Board of Trade of Santa Fe has contributed for the main reception room of the building a costly filigree table that is the delight of every lady tor who sees it. This table, which is kept in a glass case, is made of gold and sil- ver and the precious stones found In the Territory. Silver plate, lace and other fabrics, all of ancient make, have been contributed by the Lady Managers’ Auxiliary. There {s one la¢ manager from each county, appointed | by the gallant Governor Otero and the board selected Miss Otero for its presi- dent. She has placed an exhibit in the New Mexlco building that, while it has nothing in particular to do with New Mexico, draws many curious people. It is the coat worn by Aguinaldo whén he was captured. It is an ordinary, white duck garment, such as an Amer- ican barber might wear and was pre- ed to Mrs. Otero by an officer who present at the capture and se- cured it. The Territory's ethnological exhibit fills all of room 111 in the Anthropol- ogy building, 32x45 feet. A display of basketry and blanketry is made that is attracting the attention of many sclentific men. Of the two bells mentioned, both were brought from Spain in the fif- teenth century by the Franciscans. One had been cast many years before. In them are said to be much gold and silver that opce were ornaments and many jewels, all cast into the molten metal by the faithful as an earnest of their devotion. One was used in an old mission near Santa Fe and belongs to the New Mexico Historical Society. The other was found in the ruins of the Grand Quiveras In Southern New Mexico. It was recently discovered by Governor Otero, who borrowed it for the exposition. It iIs the one that was pealing in Spain before Columbus sailed first. Samuel Butler, the Nevada County mining exhibit commissioner, is out agaln after a severe illness. The Pike parties of Miss Alice Roosevelt, which seemed to be full of enjoyment for the President’s daugh- ter, are also popular with Californians. In one of these one night were many merry Oakland people, including Gustav Gutsch, Theodore Gler, Miss Helen Powell, W. H. Weilbye .and wife, Alvin Powell, George H. Bove- reaux, Miss Sarah H. Perkins, H. A. Powell, Mrs. Hawkinson, Miss Lillian Remillard, Marion Hawkinson, Al- bert G. Gates, Miss Hazel Hawkinson and Henry Rey Sanders. Dr. Ira B. Ladd and wife of Stock- ton have departed for their home, after several days at the fair. They came here after a long visit to New York. i e CALIFORNIANS AT FAIR.

SAN QUENTIN, June 17.—While serving a ten-year sentence for forgery John M. Chretien has committed the same crime inside the prison walls for which he was convicted as a free man. He has made a fac simile of a signature, and by so doing came very near obtain- ing a sum of money convict. Chretien was sent committed in San Francisco in De- cember, 1900, With only a short time to serve and with fine chances of being months, he has signed another man's name. This time he attempted to deprive a fellow con- vict of $50 sent him by relatives. By the merest accident the little game was folled. Chretien was deprived of his easy berth as head accountant of the prison from a fellow up for forgery and now suffers the ignominy of work- ing alongside of the most desperate characters” in the jute m In all probability he will be required to wear prison garb for the entire remaining period of his term. The matter will be taken up by the State Board of Prison Directors to-morrow morning. From circumstances surrounding the case will not only be denled parole, but will be deprived of over three years' credits. Chretien came to San Quentin De- cember 13, 1900. With credits he would leave San Quentin the last part of this year. He will not now be liberated until June 30, 1907.
