The convention was called to order by National Chairman.Oliver W. Stew- of Chicago. In presenting the Rev. George W.

About one-third of the delegates stood and cheered, waving flags and hats for several minutes. Part of the platform agreed upon by the general commitrse includes six planks on the liquor guestion. Imper- falism is touched upon by a plank guaranteéing to all persons under the Americarl flag the rights given by the constitution. Other planks pledge re- form in the divorce laws and the ex- termination of polygamy. Trusts are not mentioned, but one plank advocates protection of the welfare of the people by a rigid application- of jistice to all combinations of capital and labor. The California members of the new national committee are A. B. Tainton and Fred W. Wheeler. SIS BETTING ON CLEVELAND. Many Wall Street Men Believe He ‘Will Be Nominated. NEW YORK, June 29.—Wall street is beginning to take an interest in the ational political situation. In the duliness which has seized stock spec- ulation interest in market develop- ments has given place to discussion as to the Democratic nominee at the St. Louis conveution. To-day the prevail- ing differences of opinion found ex- pression in the curb market, where a score or more.of bets were made. Grover Cleveland's name apgeared with surprising persistency in the terms of the wagers. There is at least $15,000 waiting to be wagered at odds of 1 to 2% that he will be the Democratic nominee. Those who dif- fer on the point, hov:yver, are willing to concede only 2 to 1 that Cleveland will not be named. Six or sevén bets were made indi- cating that in the event of Cleveland’s nomination it was an even chance be- tween him. and Roosevelt. C. M. Minzesheimer said he had $10,000 to wager that Cleveland would defeat Roosevelt in case the former were nominated and consented to run. A customer of Sternberger, Sinn & Co. placed $400 even money on Roosevelt against Cleveland. W. C. Moore, a curb broker, bet $100 even with Louis Heineman on Cleveland. Another in- teresting bet was $100 even that either McClellan or_ Cleveland would be the nominee. One of the matters most commented upon in-the financial district was the force of the Cleveland boom. The warehouses had it that the ticket would be Cleveland and Francis. oA MAINE IS FOR RECIPROCITY. Republican Convention Nominates W. « T. Cobb for Governor. BANGOR, Me., July 29.—The Re- publican State Convention to-day nominated William T. Cobb for Gov- ernor.

McNabites on Train Begin- ning to Feel Like a Man in a Refrigerator. AN 5 BY AL McCABE. Special Dispatch to The Call. GREEN RIVER, Wyo., June 29.— Things are warming up on the Hearst speeial from California—not on account [of the weather, which has been reaily pleasant for the alkali wastes the train has been passing over, but an under- current of “things doin’” in the dele- gation politics is decidedly noticeable. M. F. Tarpey, Mr. Hearst's Western representative, seemingly has the sit- uation well in hand, and the McNabites are apparently debating whether it wouldn’t be wiser to follow their chief’s fllustrious example and give their whis- | pering boss the double cross and pos- sibly thus succeed in breaking in on’| some of the good things the delegation | has to give out. Tarpey has too vivid | a recollection of recent trusts repused[ in the wily Scotchman. and his follow- | ing, though, to be easily persuaded to | take their promises to “deal fair.” After Santa Cruz, he is convinced that the only kind of a McNabite who can be trusted on a programme is one by proxy, and it is said he isn’t any too sure that wouldo/t be revoked if the telegraph service were a little cheaper: So. W.J. McGee, who is said to be Mc- Nab's candidate for Governor in 1906, | and McNab’s messenger, “Treasurer” "Louis Mooser, are not running very strong in their effort to get important appointments from the delegates. It is rumored that Mooser may announce himself for treasurer of the National Committee, but If so his fight has taken no more definite shape than a wild | longing on his part. TARPEY TO SUCCEED HIMSELF., As none of the delegates from South- | ern California are on the train no fur-’ mal meeting of the delegation will be had until the convention city is reached. It is conceded on all sides that Tarpey will again be elected na- tional committeeman, and that D. M. Delmas will be California’s representa- | tive on the committee on platform and resolutions. Messrs. Delmas, Tarpey and Senator Newlands of Nevada were closeted to- day for some time with Carl Hayden, the probable chairman of the Arizona delegation, who is making the journey with the Californians. Hayden is par- ticularly concerned about a plank in the platform dealing with separate statehood for his Territory and New | Mexico, and supplies these gentlemen, already quite conversant with the sub- ject, with additional data so they will be in a position to aid him in the com- mittee on platform and reselutions. The friends of D. W. Carmichael, delegate at large from Northern Cali-| fornia, say that he will be made a| member of the committee on rules. R. H. de Witt, the genial delegate from the First District, is mentioned for California’s member of the commit- tee on notification of the Presidential nominee. Sheriff James A. Keys probably will be selected to act on the committee on credentials. There will be a good deal | of “scrapping” on that committee, but the Sheriff says that is what he likes. Handsome “Joe” Simons of Los An- geles is being urged by his friends for a vice chairman eof the convention. “Joe’s” friends say he ought to look well upon the platform, and there| seems littie doubt that he will be se- lected. NOISY WELLS DEMOCRATS. It was believed by the delegates after the send-off at Reno last even- ing that that probably would exhaust the Hearst shouting in Nevada, but when the little village of Wells was reached this morning things broke loose again. Some enterprising Demdcrats of that town had gathered some fire- works together and gave the train a full Presidential salute of twenty-one bombs as it pulied in. The crowd was small in number but large in noise and enthusiasm. It was expected that the Utah dele- gation would join the train at Ogden, but the delegates from the Mormon/ State failed to materialize. It was stated at the station that they haqd concluded to flock by themselves and g0 on a day or so later. Chaffman of the delegation M. F. Tarpey this morning announced the following committees, which he was authorized to name at the meeting of the delegation in San Francisco on May 4: On reception—J. B. Sanford, chair- man; Martin C. Marsh, W. J. McGee, John A. Hicks, Henry Brickley, R. F. Garner, L. H. Mooser and R. H. de Witt. On entertainment—A. I MecSorley, chairman; J. J. McDonald, T. C. But- ler, W. E.

Emi- nent and eloquent leaders of the party will address the people. Singers from Berkeley and eity bands of music will entertain the audience. A joint committee of the Republican State Central Committee and the ex- ecutive committee of the California League of Republican Clubs is devising la programme of exercises and ar- Senator | George C. Perkins, Samuel M. Short-| ranging the order of speeches. ridge, John T..Dare, George A. Knight, Henry C. Dibble, Senator E.. I Wolfe and Cary Van Fleet are on the list of speakers for the occasion. It was at first intended that General George | Stone, chairman of the State commit- tee, should preside, but he has ylelded to the solicitation of Republicans in the south and accepted an invitation to at- tend the banquet in Los Angeles in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the Republican party. WOLFE WILL PRESIDE. In his absence the chair of the pre- siding officer will be occupied by Sen- ator Wolfe. It is understood that George A. Knight, who has just re- turned from Chicago, will be given ample opportunity to speak of the events and incidents of the national convention. The joint committee will meet at party headquarters in the Pal- ace Hotel at noon next Saturday to complete arrangements for the rally. A Roosevelt Republican club was or- ganized in the Thirtieth Assembly Dis- trict at 1133 Mission street last evening. A resolution indorsing the administra- tion of President Roosevelt was adopted with cheering- enthusiasm. The club indorsed George B. Keane for the State Senate and Francis Mc- Namara for the Assembly. The Hardis-Berges faction of the Labor party met last night and issued the call for the Fourth and Fifth Con- gressional conventions and also for the general convention. The Fourth will have 108 delegates, the Fifth 113 dele- gates and the general convention 209. No dates were set, but the chairman and secretary were delegated the power to fix the time for all the gatherings. _ TRACE IS ELECTED. V. M. Trace of San Jose was elected chairman of the Fifth District and H. J. Powers @cretary. While the com- mittee~was preparing the cértificate to be filed with the Secretary of State E. J. White of Santa Clara entertained the members with his views on the political situation. Among other things he said he hoped the Labor party would nominate their candidate prior to the Democrats selecting their man, as he believed if that was done the Democrats might indorse the Labor tandidate. He had inside information that Jackson Hatch was going to be a candidate, but if the Labor people would get to work they could beat him. Secretary Berges is to take the offi- cial papers to Sacramento to-day and file them with the Secretary of State. The next meeting will bg held Wednes- day night, at which time the committee will have some word from the labor unions regarding their intentions of participating in the selection of a ticket. R Ly Sy OXNARD VISITS. PRESIDENT. Senatorial Aspirant Extends Felicita- tions to Mr. Roosevelt. + WASHINGTON, June 29.—Henry T. Oxnard, California’s beet sugar ‘magnate and candidate for the Sen- ate, called at the White House to-day and congratulated the President on his nomination. Oxnard is now on his wav home. “Yes, I expect to be a candidate for United States Senator from Califor- | nia if the Republicans elect the next Legislature,” he said, “and there will be no reason why they will not be in control. ‘I have been a business man all my, life and have been unable to get around among the people of my State, as 1 hope to ‘do from now on. It will be my purpose and pleasure to become better acquainted with the people, g0 that they may know some- thing about me and decide whether they think I am competent to repre- sent them.” B R f ANTI-FOLK MEN RULE.

A T COTS FOR THE DELEGATES, Tarpey Cancels the Engagement of Sumptuous Hotel Quarters, ST. LOUIS, June 29.—Some one has drawn a keen blade across the folds of M. F. Tarpey's hot-air balloon and the craft that has been bearing the Hearst Pacific Coast boomlet is hanging tail upward somewhere in the jungle west of the Rockies. A message received to-day by the management of the Jef- ferson Hotel from Tarpey canceled the engagement of all rooms but the head- quarters and five sleeping apartments, each of the latter to contain three cots. In view of the fact that the weather here is noted for its rlsorption .and retention of calorie, it is safe to assume that but one Democrat will eceupy each of the cots. Thus, by a calcula- tion that goes no farther than plain| multiplication, it is plain that but fif- teen of the faithful from California and Arizona are expected.

Probably they will take rooms at the Jefferson, he concludes, but he wants it understood that the headquarters and the five rooms are all he will be responsible for as dispenser of the funds of the Cali- fornia delegation. His message rings of disappointment and likewise of a thorough knowledge of the leanness of the funds of the California Democracy. ———— e Blistering Weather in Portland.

Owing to the rapid advance of the | Japanese forces the Russians in the | vicinity of Tatchekiao are retreating hurriedly to the north. They fear be- 1ing cut off. TOKIQ, June 29.—It is unofficially re- | ported that Chikwanshan, Chitanshan, and Sochoshan, three forts on the south- east part of the Port Arthur defenses. | were captured by the Japanese on Sun- | day after an all-day fight which began | with an artillery duel. Sochoshan was | captured first, and the other forts fell ‘soon afterward. The Russians re- treated west, leaving forty dead. The number of their wounded has not been ascertained. The Japanese force consisted of all branches of the service. The Japanese | lost three officers and one hundred men | killed or wounded, and captured two guns and a quantity of ammunition. The report is not credited by officials in Tokio. KAICHING, June 29.—The Japanesw are continuing to advance from Sfuyen and Fengwangcheng. General Oku also is moving north from Senuchen. Gen- eral Samsonoff is contesting his pro- gress, but is not offering serious re- sistance.” The Japanese force advanc- ing from the Motien pass is composed of at least three regiments and ten bat- teries of artillery. A force of equal strength is advanc- ing from Fenshui pass, on the high road to Liaoyang. The flank move on the latter is supported by a column marching from Saimatsza. LIAOYANG, June 29.—The Japanese are reported to have retired ten to| twenty miles from the positions which they recently held. Owing to local rains it is believed that the operations north of Port Arthur have been in- definitely postponed. VANY HONORS FROM LD VALE NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 29.— The formal commencement exercises and the annual alunmi dinner were the two chief features of to-day’s pro- gramme at Yale.

President Hadley, who presided, an- nounced that Judge Henry E. How- land of New York was re-elected yes- terday by the graduates to member- ship in the university corporation. Dr. Timothy Dwight, former presi- dent of Yale, and Chief Justice Arellano of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, were among the speak- ers. Arellano, in Spanish, expressed his thanks to the Yale corporation for the honorary degree conferred upon him to-day and paid a high tribute to the United States and to former Gov- ernor General Taft for the work in the ‘Philippines. GREAT DAY AT HARVARD. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 29.—Har- vard’s commencement to-day attracted a greater number of persons than in many years, especially of those from the ranks of the older graduates of the university. The procession to Sanders Theater, where the exercises were held, was headed by the candidates for hon- orary degrees and included Governor Bates and staff. / In all departments of the university the total number of degrees conferred -to-day was the largest in the history of the institution. They were divided as follows: Bachelor of arts, 470; bachelor of science, 86; master of arts, 162; doctor of philosophy, 46; bachelor of laws, 172; doctor -of medicine, 130, and doctor of medical dentistry, 25. The feature of the afternoon was the alumni dinner at Memorial Hall, at- tended by over 1000 graduates. When President Eliot was introduced the great throng of graduates made the air ring with cheers. He spoke briefly, telling the alumni that this was the first opportunity granted him for ex- pressing his thanks to them for the testimonial presented him last winter upon the completion of thirty-five years' service as president of the uni- versity. He then announced that dur- ing the past year the university had received in benefits and bequests the sum of $1,116,000, a sum smaller. than the yearly average of gifts. 1 Fifty Thousand Fighting] Men in Port Arthur's Garrison. Russian Fleet Not Greatly Damaged in Battle of June 23. CHEFU, June 30.—Fifty Europeans who left Port Arthur on June 23 ar- rived here to-day from Pigeon Bay, where they embarked on June 28. They report that in the naval engagement of June 23 the Russian battleship Se- vastopol was slightly damaged. Fif- teen days will be required to repair her. The torpedo dispatch-boat Amur also was badly damaged. When the Russian fleet went out of Port Arthur the hopes of all the resi- | dents were high and there was much | disappointment when the fleet returned | to anchorage. It is said that the Rus- | sian sailors have no confidence in Rear Admiral Withoeft, but think that if| Vice Admiral Skrydloff were in com- mand the fleet could successfully en- gage the Japanese. The Russian fleet i now reported to consist of six battleships, five cruis- ers and twenty-four smaller vessels. On June 23, the day on which the Europeans left, the Japanese were re- ported to be trying to capture Wolf Mountain, a strongly fortified position fifteen miles from Port Arthur. A Frenchman, who has been in Port Arthur since the siege begun, says that there are 50,000 fighting men there, including soldiers, sailors and volun- teers; 500 women and 150 non-combat- ants. The women and non-combatants | are waiting for a steamsnip on which | the Russians will take them out. The food supply is good. The only sufferers are the Chinese inhabitants, who are without money. —— IDAHO FATHER SHOOTS HIS SON IN THE LEGS Mistakes Child for a Coyote and Fires Upon Him With a Twelve- Gauge Gun. SAND POINT, Idaho, June 29.— ‘While Clarence Hunt, the 1l-year-old son of Willlam Hunt, was putting his pet ducks in their coop to-night his father, hearing the noise, mistook him for a coyote and fired upon him with a 12-gauge shotgun.

Overerowded Russian Craft Ninks With the Man- hole Open. ST. PETERSBURG, June 29.—The submarine boat Delfin sank at her moorings in the Neva, off the Baitic ‘Shipbulldins Yard, at 11 o'clock this morning, with the loss of Lieutenant Cherkasoff and twenty men. The ac- cident was due, partly, to the exces- sive number of the crew, mostly inex- perienced mep, and chiefly to the un- fortunate attempt of a man to escape while his comrades were screwing down the manhole. The officers and men detailed for submarine boat instruction had as- sembled at the Baitic yard and three officers decided to go down in the Del- fin, although her captain was not pres- ent, relying upon the experience of her skilled crew. A secore of novices were anxious to go with the three officers. The Delfin's nominal capacity is ten men, instead of which thirty-two en- tered the doat, bringing her manhole in dangerous proxfnity the river level. Just theh a tug passed, sending ‘a heavy wash against the boat. As soon as the water splashed into the sub- marine boat's interior it created a panic among the novices and one of them tried to get out of the manhole, which the older hands were screwing dowr preparatory to the descent, the sub- merging department having already been opened. The water rushed in and as the submerged vessel sank like a stone the officers and jyome of the men were only saved by being blown up through the manhole by the rush. of escaping air. The Delfin shortly afterwara was raised. Lieutenant Elagsuin, who was one of the officers saved, said: “The tragedy was like a dream. I remember a sickening' sense of suffo- cation from the fumes of the storage batteries and then a rush of air and water. The mnext thing I knew was that I was ashore.” The Delfin is Russia’s best submarine boat. She was designed by Naval Architect Boubnoff and Captain Bek- lemisheff and underwent a successful trial in 1903. i e Kind Treatment for Prisoners. ST. PETERSBURG.
