CONVENTION
OF REPUBLICAN
STATE CLUBS
Many Delegates From All
Parts of the State Ar=
rived Yesterday.
Colonel Stone Will Probably Be
Chosen President of the
I'he convention of the State League of
Republican Clubs at Golden Gate Hall
thlß afternoon promises to be one of the
most successful political gatherings ever
held In this city. Tt is expected that It
will be attended by at lease 700 delegates
from all sections of the State. Quite a
number of the delegates arrived here
yesterday and were met at the ferry
landing by tne reception committee ap
pointed by the local clubs. They were
escorted to the headquarters of the
league at the Baldwin Hotel.
The convention will be called to order
et 1 o'clock this afternoon, but It Is not
expected that any business other than
the appointing of temporary officers and
a committee on credentials will be trans
acted. It is probable that an adjourn
ment will then be taken until Wednesday
morning, when the permanent officers of
the convention will be elected. After the
permanent organization of the conven
tion the most important work to be trans
acted Is the election of the new State offi
cers and the selection of thlrty-eierht del
egates to the National convention of Re
publican Clubs to be held July 13 at
Omaha.
It was at one time thought that there
would be quite a fight over the president
of the State League, but It was generally
conceded last night that the r> ace would
go t«"> Colonel George Stone of the Union
League. The members of the Phoe
r,ix Club of this city wanted Gen
eral A. L. Hart 10 enter the race, but
he declined, as he felt thai business mat-
ters would prevent him from giving the
required time and attention to the league.
A. \V. Kinney of Lob -n.ngeles, who is now
president of the State .League, was urged
by his friends to seek re-election, but he
declined. Colonel Stone has in conse
quence an almost clear field, as there is
but one candidate against him. K. M.
Galvin, chairman of the local reception
committee, has announced himself as a
candidate for the office, but he has little
following outside of personal friends in
this city. The majority of the delegates
from the interior are in favor of Colonel
Stone, and he will be elected on the first
ballot unless something unforeseen hap
pens.
There Is quite a scramble for the office
of secretary. Oscar Tolle, a Deputy
County Clerk; Hamilton J. Rlggins and
A. de la Torre are willing to serve. Tolie,
who is clerk of Judge Cook's court, has
many strong political friends behind him.
and, like in the case of CcloneJ^ Stone, it
is almost certain that the first ballot will
show him to be the victor.
That the next convention is to be held
In Los Angeles is conceded. Some of the
delegates from Sacramento at first in
tended making a fight for the convention,
but afterwards concluded that it was In
advisable. The Southern delegates came
here united on the Los Angeles tight and j
the Sacramentans soon discovered that it ;
would not be wise to give them battle.
The people of Sacramento are looking for
ward to securing the next Republican j
State nominating convention. By now al- !
lowing the claims of Los Angeles for the !
convention of clubs to go undisputed, they j
expect to receive support from "south of <
Tehachapi" when they go before the State
central committee.
The delegates from Los Angeles want
more than the next convention of the
State League of Clubs. They will ask to
lie given the vice-president of the State
league, and the indications are that they
will not be disappointed. The delegation |
will meet this morning with other repre- ;
sentatives from the southern part of the |
State to decide upon a candidate.
"While Sacramento, Los Angeles and this
city are figuring out just what offices
they want, Alameda County is not be
hind. The Alamedans believe that they
are entitled to a State officer and will
concentrate all their efforts in securing
the Treasurer.
The delegates -will meet at the Baldwin i
Hotel at 12:30 o'clock to-day and march in a
body to Golden Gate Hall. A band will
be In attendance and the members of the |
local Republican clubs will act as an es- :
cort guard;
A mass meeting will be held at the hall I
this evening, when prominent speakers
will discuss the political issues of the day.
nrey L. Ford will act as chairman. The
gallery will be reserved until 8 o'clock
for ladies and their escorts.
The San Joaquin County delegation will j
caucus at the Baldwin at 10 o'clock this |
morning, and the Second Congressional i
District will caucus at 11 o'clock.

A SIGNIFICANT VISIT.
F. A. Wadleigh of the Rio Grande
Railway Will Take a Hand in
the Rate War.
An arrival which appears to be of spe
cial significance in railroad circles at the
present time is that of F. A. Wadleigh.
general passenger agent of the Rio
Grande and Western Railway, who came
in on the overland on Sunday from Salt
Lake City and registered at the Palace.
Though Mr. Wadleigh was extremely
reticent about the purport of his visit,
saying that it was merely for pleasure,
still it is believed that he has come to
have a conference with the Southern Pa
cific passenger officials, having, for its
object the reduction of second class rates
via the Ogden gateway. Mr. Wadleigh
said that he was unaware that the South
ern Pacific had cut second ciass rates via
Mojave, 121 Paso and New Orleans until
informed of it by W. H. Snedaker, who
met him up the road, and stated emphat
ically that he had not come with the ob
ject of inducing the Southern Pacific to
include the routings via Ogrh-n in the re
ductions, although he said candidly: "I
will go and see Mr, Goodman, the general
passenger agent of the Southern Pacific
Company, and have a talk with him."
« hat the subject of conversation be
tween the two officials will be is not
known, but it will most probably be on
the lines just mentioned.
What appears to have been the diffi
culty all along in the cutting of rates via
Ogden has been the declaration of the
Southern Pacific Company to its (igfl.-n
connections that in the event of a reduc
tion in rates it would exact a higher per
centage as its share of the haul to Og
den. For instance, at present it receives
46 per cent on $40, the late to points on
the Missouri River, thus making its pro
portion of the haul to Ogden $1S 40. If the
rates to go into effect on June 5 were to
ann]y via Ogden it would only get tU 'W
as its share. This has been the bone of
contention and it is expected that Mr.
Wadleigh may arrange some way out of
the difficulty, and so allow his "line and
others out of Ogden to participate in the
increased business derived by the reduc
tion of rates, and a bitter fight with the
Canadian Pacific will be the result.
A Pioneer at Rest.
It is seldom that the passing- of a
; pioneer of this State has brought out more
! genuine expressions of sorrow than that
of the late William Murphy, whose fun- :
I eral took place from Ocean View on Sun-
I day. It was the largest cortege that ever j
j went from that locality to Holy Cross
! Cemetery. The deceased lived and reared
I a family in the house where he died, and
I consequently for more than twenty years
j he was known to all the country round
about. He was generous to a fault and
counted every one as his friend. He leaves
a widow and four children. A pretty ,
tribute was paid to his memory by Father
Cooper of St. Michael's Church.
The deceased was 52 years of age and
came to California almost directly from I
Ireland when but a boy. He was mar
ried in this State and has never left it !
Bince his arrival. He was fond of dogs
and his principal diversion from business
was in coursing. The only society that j
I Mr. Murphy belonged to was the Order of
I Foresters of America. He was a member
!of Court Farallone. The pall bear
j ers were: John D. Daly, Martin Fraglev '
, Senator J. D. Burns. E. B. Lastlck Jr. W j
I H. Kenney, Walter Van Bergen, Emmett '
| Sullivan and E. S. Casserly.
Unions Against General Otis.
The following resolution was unani

Typographical Union at Its meeting on

Resolved, That President McKinley, In ap
pointing that notorious enemy of labor Har
rtßon O. Otis of LO9 Angeles, as a brlgadl*>r
gMieral, has oftVred a deadly lnnult to every
member of every labor organization in the
United States, and especially to the Inter
national Typographical Union; that every
United States Senator who may vote for con
firming- that appointment is equally an enemy
of labor and therefore a trHltor to the nation

Carry Off the Bluerock
Team Medal.
THE CONTEST WAS FINAL
CONCLUSION OF THE ASSOCIA
TION'S TOURNAMENT.
Two of the Events Produced Ties
Which Were Hard Pressed.
Good Money in the
Cash Prizes.
The second and last day's shoot of the
California Inanimate Target Association
tournament at Ingleside brought out al
most as many lovers of the gun and the
flying disc as the first. The tournament
on the whole wa*> a success, and so sat
isfied were those who participated there
in that the majority will be fixed and
ready for the live bird tournament that
will be held in San Francisco at the last
of the week. One X>t the principal events
of the day was the team contest of six
men from each club for the association's
trophy. Six clubs entered their best shots,
but it was the Olympic Gun Club that j
carried off the prize, which now becomes j
the permanent property of that body, the
trophy having been won three times by
teams from the Olympic's ranks. The
winning team made the excellent record
of 110 breaks out of 120 discs thrown from
the traps. In addition to winning the
prize the skillful gunners will receive gold !
buttons inscribed in memory of the vie- i
tory.
The first and second events were fifteen
Binaries, with $10 added and the cash divid
ed into three prizes. The third event was
a contest for the Golcher individual
trophy, twenty singles, with $40 added,
the money being divided Into four prizes.
The prize must be shot for three times.
In this match O. Feudner, P. Fuedner, H.
Jostlns and F. Merrill tied on breaking j
nineteeen clays. On the shoot-off on the j
tie Justin was the high man and winner i
on eighteen breaks. The fourth event was j
for the association's individual champion- j
ship medal, which must be won three '
times before It becomes the property of !
a winner. A purse of {50, divided in four;
prizes, was added. This was a very
closely contested match, for Nauman,
Jones and Hobson tied on nineteen bieaks.
Nauman won on the shoot-off with eight
een breaks. The lii'ih event was on twen
ty singles, with (10 added, for f>>ur prizes.
The sixth event was on fifteen singles,

Eddie Mattison. a bright boy. 15 years of
ape, applied at police headquarters yes
terday for assistance to enable him to
rearh Los Angeles, where he has many
friends. He got shelter in the City Prison
till to-day, when he will be turned over to
the Mayor.
The boy states that he was taken from
Lew Angeles over a year a R o by his three
elder brothers to Wisconsin, where their
grandmother lives. They "beat" their
way. his brothers compelling him to do
the. hard work in providing food and shel
ter during the trip. >fter remaining in
Wisconsin for six months the hoy got dis
gusted with the way in which his brothers
acted and started to get back to Los An
geles. He stopped over at different
places on the mad and obtained work,
and by that means was able to pay his

SIITRO MAY
NOW RECOVER
Hope Held Out for the
Ex-Mayor.
RETURN OF MENTAL VIGOR
HAS RECENTLY SHOWN MUCH
IMPROVEMENT.
What Was Supposed to Be an Incut
able Mental Malady May Prove
to Be a Temporary Ail
ment.
The relatives of ex-Mayor Adolph Su
tro are rejoicing over the possibility
now held forth that the old gentleman
may wholly recover from the malady
from which he has been suffering. Dur
ing the past few days he has regained
to some extent the use of his mental
factultles, and this fact has given added
strength to the belief that he will In
the near future be in the enjoyment
of his normal mental vigor.
Those who have watched over the ex-
Mayor since he was stricken down
many months ago say that the im
provement in his health dates from the
time he was taken from Sutro Heights
to the home of his daughter, Dr. Emma
Merritt. on Van Ness avenue, a few
weeks ago. Yesterday the invalid was
sufficiently strong to leave his couch
and sit by the window to watch the
passing of a body of troops on their
way to the camp at the old Bay Dis
trict track. He also sent to the Heights
for one of his confidential servants and
discussed with him the details of some
business affair, to which his mind has
been a blank for a long period.
The physicians who have been in at
tendance on the ex-Mayor have all
along believed that his malady was in
curable. The favorable change In his
condition that has occurred within the
past few days is therefore hailed with
much rejoicing by his friends and rela
tives.
NEW YORKERS WERE
DUPED BY ACTORS.
WIFE OF AN ENGLISH LORD'S
SON IN A NEW ROLE.
Mrs. Clauie Barry Tells of the Rela
tions Between Her Husband
and Mrs. Ethel Hertslet.
A highly sensational story was re
cently published in the New York Journal
and reproduced Jn Its local adjunct to
the effect that Mr. and Mrs. Claude
Barry, members of the theatricaJ profes
sion, were starving to death in an East
Side tenement in New York city. The
immediate result of the publication in
New York was that charitably disposed
people came to the assistance of the un
fortunate couple, and soon tha lady was
offered engagements by no less than
seven managers and the alleged husband
was given a position as accountant In
some business house. Now while the
starring to death item was doubtless
true, it is not true that the two unfor
tunates were husband and wife, for the
real wife is living in most straitt-ned cir
cumstances In this city, by reason of the
duplicity of Claude Barry.
In a simple way yesterday Mrs. Edith
Barry told the true facts of the case,
which appear to have been much garbled
in the publication named. Hers was a
pathetic story, and it would seem that
she and not the guilty couple is entitl<-<1
to the charity which has been lav
on the wreckers of her life's liappln-s.-.
She briefly related her story, as follows:
"My name is Mrs. Edith Barry and 1
am the legitimate wife of the Claude
Barry of the starving to death •■;■
The woman with him was formerly a
Misa Ethel Harry, who sonu- fifteen years
:ig>> married Qerald Spencer Hertslet, the
son of Sir Kuward Hortslet, at one time
head of the Foreign office in England.
In I&SS I came out to California as a com
panion to Mrs. Hertslet. Her husband
had gone into farming in Lake Count-.-,
but in his case it proved a failure, a fact
widely published at the time. Claude
Barry, a second cousin of Mrs. Hertslet,
came here from England also in 1887, and
in ISBB hn and I were married. We also
tilled the soil, but were equally as un
successful as the Hertslets.
"Finally we all returned to San Fran
clsco, Mr. Hertslet accepting an engrigo
ment in the local theaters. Mrs. Hertslet
returned to England with her three chil
dren, anil after leaving them in care of
her mot her she came to this city and
Jotned her husband's company, both be
ing more or less successful hero and in
the interior. Finally, on returning to this
city, the Hertslets decided to separate
temporarily, though amicably, as pros
pects for them were not of the brightest,
and about that time my husband .-ir.ii I
also agreed to live apart for various rea
sons. It was then that my troubles com
menced, for .Mrs. Hertslet and Claude
Barry began to keep company, at first
secretly and then openly. They were to
gether at all times, often passing me In
the street unrecognized. I suffered in si
lence for a long while, until my husband
brought suit for divorce from me.
"On my filing a cross-complaint through
Attorneys Knight and Heggerty, who had
generously volunteered their services, my
husband, now recognizing that I would
flpht him to the bitter end, one day dis
appeared from this city, and the next
I heard of him was the fact of his starv
ing to death In New York city, a fate
he richly deserved. With him was his
alleged wife, who is none other than Mrs.
Hertslet. They are not married, for my
husband and I have never been divorcee
and I will not allow him to get one. Ger
aid Hertslet has sued for a divorce from
his wife, on certain statutory ground
but the case has not as yet come to tria
So it is a self-evident fact that Claud
Barry and Ethel Hertslet are living to
gether in open criminality and the sym
pathy of a charitable public has bee
misapplied. Through Claude Barry
negligence T have been sick nigh unt
death (having spent seven weeks in th
hospital), with the barest necessities o
life as my portion, and I can but bit
terly denounce the duplicity of a ma
who" had promised to care for me In life.
RED MEN'S JUBILEE.
Arrangements for the Celebration of
the Fiftieth Anniversary of the
Great Council.
The members of the Improved Order of
Red Men are making active preparations
for the celebration on the Fourth of July
of the fiftieth anniversary of the institu
tion of the Great Council of the United
States. There was a meeting- last Satur
day evening in the big wigwam on Post
street of the general committee, consist
ing of three members, from the local
tribes, those across the hay and from the
rounclls of the Degree of Pocahontas. C.
P. Rurgman, the great chief of records,
presided. During the evening it was an
nounced that an effort was being made to
Becure one hundred horsemen to take part
in the parade. These will be attired in
Indian costumes, and, together with about
nine hundred members of the order in re
galia and throe floats to represent the
Northern Indians, another to represent
the Southern Indians, and a third to rep
resent the hunters" period, will make up
one of the divisions of the Fourth of July
parade.
Tn the evening there will be a grand ball
in Native Sons 1 Hall.
The several tribes have already made
liberal contributions to defray tne ex
penses of the Jubilee celebration, and the
Indications point to a grand display.

>
Another twenty-four hours will see two
fine ocean steamers added to America's
merchant marine. The Oceanic Steam
ship Company's Zealandia and the Pacific
Mall Company's China are both to re
ceive American registry, and when they
leave for Manila with troops will fly the
stars and stripes. Both are splendid ves
sels of their class, the China being t..e
fastest and best equipped steamer that
comes to this port.
The China and Zealandia were both
built Jn Glasgow, and for a number of
years flew the British flag. The Zealandla
before being- taken off the Australian
trade, was put under the Hawaiian flag,
and last year, after considerable trouble,
the China also obtained a Hawaiian
registry. The United States Inspectors
of Hulls and Boilers are now examining
the steamers, and as soon as their report
is made the Hawaiian flag will be hauled
down and the stars and stripes will be
ruised over each steamer.
The China is 4940 tons gross and 2401
tons net burden, 440 feet 4 inches long, 48
feet 1 inch broad and 32 feet 8 inches
deep. The Zealandia is 24Sb tons gross and
1713 tons net burden, 377 feet long, 37 feet
1 in h broad and IS feet 6 inches deep.
Both steamers are rigged as four-masted
barks and carry quite a spread of canvas.
The work of getting the steamers ready
to carry passengers began yester
; day. Both will be ready by the end
. of the week, but it will probably be the
latter part of next week before they get
away for the Philippines.
The officers of the Naval Battalion are
all working night and day getting ready
for their examination, which is to take
place this week. Physically they have
satisfied the demands of Uncle Sam's
physicians, but now they have to pre
sent themselves at Mare Island and
satisfy the examining- board as to their
proficiency in navigation and seamanship.
Of the rank and file 136 men have been
given a year's leave of absence by the
State, and they will be examined as to
their physical qualifications a t 10 Cali
fornia street to-day. Saturday four of the '
I'nys were examined and only one of
them came up to the requirements. The
other candidates will have to do better
than that, or else the whole battalion will
have to be examined before the men
wanted are secured.
The famous filibustering steamer L,aur
ada, arrived from Philadelphia yesterday, j
Many a time Captain Scott and his yes- !
sel evaded the vigilant watch kept by the !
Spanish gunboats and landed arms and
ammunition on the Cuban coast. Once
the vessel was seized by Uncie Sam's offi
cers, but as nothing couid be proved !
against the vessel she was released.
When the days of nubustering- were
about over the Liaurada was sold to the
Boston and Alaska Transportation Com
pany and has come out here to carry gold
hunters to St. Michael. It took her thirty- '
six days to steam from Philadelphia to i
Sandy Point, at the entrance to the j
Straits of Magellan, and from that point
the run was made to San Francisco in
thirty-seven days. It is a long time for a
14-knot steamer to take to cover the dis
tance, but then Captain Scott was not
burning any more coal than the law al
lowed.
Quite a fleet of sailing vessels made
port yesterday. Among them was the
bark Sea King; from Newcastle, N.. S. W.
It took her UK', days to get here, which is
j the longest trip this season. The vessel
is very foul through having been a long
| time off the drydock, and besides she en
j countered nothing but light winds and
calms throughout the passage. Other
I vessels that got in were the bark Albert,
18 .lays from Honolulu; the schooners Al
len A. I! 1 days from Kahului, and Defi
ance, 19 days from Honolulu; barkentine
B. X. Castle, 23 days and bark Martha
Davis, 28 days from Honolulu. The Defi
j ance is a fine new four-masted schooner
jon htr first visit to this port. She was
! built :it Grays Harbor and went from
i there to Honolulu direct with a load of
lumber.
John Oppenheim, the well-known water
front clothier, is back in the city again.
With the decay of the whaling industry
and the total extinction of the San Fran
cisco staling fleet, Mr. Oppenhefm's busi
ness fell away to a very great extent. Ho
decided to go to Pyea and open a store
there, but after a month's stay in that
part of Alaska he gave up all thoughts of
settling in that region. Stores in plenty
were for sale, but he did not want them,
as. like the whaling and sealing industry,
the bottom lias fallen out of the Dyea-
Skaguay boom. Mr. Oppenheim has now
completed all his arrangements and he is
going to the valley of the Sacramento,
bag and baggage, to open a general store.
Every whaleman and sealer in the coun
try knows John Oppenheim, and many a
sailor when he comes back from a long
cruise will be disappointed to find the old
place on ('!;<> street closed up.
The California-Alaska Transportation
Company's steamer Dirigo was to have
got away to-morrow for St. Michael, but
owing to non-arrival of a party of over a
hundred gold hunters from New Liondon.
Wis., who are going tip on her, she will
not get away until the latter part of the
wpek. Among those who are going to the
