12 IT SHOULD COME TO CALIFORNIA There Is No Better Meet ing Place for the Republicans, LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES BE LIEVE We Can Get the Convention. NO QUESTION ABOUT FUNDS | All Are Willing to Join in the Effort to Bring It Here. There is but one mind in this city about getting the Republican National Conven tion out here. All the prominent citizens, regardless of party, believe that every effort should be made to carry out the Call's suggestion. Leading citizens interviewed yesterday expressed the belief that it can be done if the matter is properly presented to the National Committee. They all agree that it is due to the "West that the leading men who would be in the conven tion should know more about our part of the country, and that there could be no better opportunity for educating them. WOULD -EDUCATE THE EAST. Legislators Should Know More of the West. O. M. Welburn, United States Collector of Internal Revenue, said: Of course I should like to see the Republican convention brought here, und I have no doubt everybody will join in regßrdless of politics to help to accomplish it. You cannot quote me too strongly, as in favor of the movement. There is nothing that would do as much good to this State. It would direct to it the attention of the very people in whose hands is the most power to help us out in the matter of legisla tion. It would tend to give to the West a greater prominence in the eyes of the East. A larce proportion of the people who would come out here now have an entirely erroneous idea of this part of the country. Most of them are men who can largely influence legislation, and they would go back with very different ideas a.s to our needs. Take the Chinese ques tion, for instance, which is so terribly misun derstood in the East. Very often I send promi nent visitors up through Chinatown with a deputy, and in every case they have told me how wrong their ideas had been. IT CAN BE DONE. An Opportunity That Should Be Grasped. Wendell Easton, treasurer of the Repub lican State Central Committee, said: It would be a great thing for the coast, irre spective of politics. We came nearer than people generally imagine to getting the Re publican national convention here four years ago. I was treasurer of the State Central Com mittee at that time and am now and know that -we could raise all the funds necessary too easily. It is an opportunity for us that we should grasp. Tlie movement here to get the convention would, of course, be practically non-partisan. I am sure that I should feel like doing all I could if there was an attempt made to bring the Democratic convention here. In fact, if we get the Republican convention I think we ehould have a good chance to get the Demo cratic, and the same committee could carry out the work of caring for both. Pome of the greatest leaders in the Republi can party are very friendly to this coast, and I am sure that all the Slates west of the Mis souri would help California in this matter, as there is only one place west of Chicago in ■which to hold a convention, and that is San Francisco. The silver question will help us, too, I think, for all silver men could be got to unite on San Francisco. I believe that the convention can be brought here. It will be a very popular convention, as there are a number of candidates, and there will be a very large proportion of prominent men in at tendance. It is not at all unlikely that a can didate for the Vice-I'residency will be chosen from this coast, anyway, and if the convention comes here I think it will be almost a certainty. It would be of great advantage to this coast to have such a representative from California or Oregon at Washington. HAVE BOTH COME. The Chairmen of Both State Committees Should Act. A. P. Hallidie, president of the Califor nia Wire Works, *aid: There can be no question that we should all drive to get the convention here. It is very Important that the leading representatives of the great political parties should see the neces sity of paying more attention to this coast, particularly if we should get into trouble with any foreign nation. It is the duty of those ■who legislate for us to know something about this coast. If the convention comes here aud the delegates should have their letters ad dressed to our old Postoffice, we should have no more trouble on that score. The main objection to coming out here is, of course, the distance; but what is a few days on our magnificent trains to people of the class that would come out? A day or two can make very little difference to them. I think it would be well for both the State central committees to take hold of the matter. The bringing of one convention out here would be very apt to induce the other to come. FOR CALIFORNIA'S GOOD. Should Have the Hearty Sup- port of All. Isaac Upham, who is a member of the Republican executive committee, said : I should not suppose that you would find any opposition at all. I suppose that all interested in the welfare of the city will give the move ment their hearty support .. It would be of great advantage to the Slate in view of having people come here who have more or less in fluence in Congress. They would understand our wants and needs by coming here and see ing for themselves. Very often we do not get what we want in the way of legislation simply because the legislators do not know what it is their duty to understand. If any of the Con* Highest of all in Leavening Power. — Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1895. gressmen who would come out to the conven tion should take a good look at our Postolliee we would not have to ask a second time for assistance in that way. Then there is the ques tion of iippropriations for our rivers and har bors. They know very little of the importance of these to the whole country. VIEWS OF A DEMOCRAT. Nothing Could Do Us More Good. Joseph Leggett, who is a member of the Democratic State Central Committee, said: I should certainly like to see the Republican convention brought here. A large number of the delegates and their friends who would come are among the leading men of the coun- try, and among them are many members of Congress, and it would be very beneficial for them to see our city and our harbor and ascer tain our needs. If we had had some former conventions hert we should have had less trouble v'ith the Chi nese question, and so with the railroad ques tion. Ido not take any stock in the general idea that the people of the East want to do us any harm. They simply don't understand our needs. There is a good deal of narrowness in legislation in regard to this coast, due to the fact that those who are responsible know noth ing of us. They think us a provincial commu nity, cut off from the rest of the nation. I think a trip out here would do them as much good as it would do us. , Travel is useful to public servants every where. In England, people going into public life make it a point to travel as a part of their education. The men who make laws for the whole of the United States should visit all parts of it. TO SHAPE LEGISLATION. Of Great Benefit to the State in Every Way. E. C. Palmieri of the Republican execu tive committee said: It would be a very great benefit to this State TESTING THE NEW LIFE-SAVING PROJECTILE AT THE FORT POINT STATION. [Sketched on the spot by a "Call" artist yesterday.] in every respect, and particularly in the way of shaping legislation at Washington. That of course would be the greatest advantage. It is the duty of the people who conduct our public affairs to have some personal knowledge of the sections they are legislating about. Look at our J'ostoffice. Do you suppose that there would be any delpy about building a new one if those people once came out here and got to appreciate this city and saw our present Post office accommodations? It would do a great deal for us in the way of getting other appropriations we are in need of. It is the duty of the legislators of the country to know what we mean when we ask for any thing and not refuse us simply because they i are not acquainted with our part of the nation. STRIKERS ON TRIAL. Contradictions Are Still the Order of the Day. George "W. West, assistant secretary of the A. R. U., was the principal witness in the trial of Cassady and Mayne, the Oak- j land strikers, yesterday. "W. H. Gray, one I of the Southern Pacific detectives, testified that West was at tower 2 on the Oakland Mole on July 4, at the mole ferry-slips helping to kill engines on July 5 and at the Alameda Point roundhouse on July 11. West denied the tirst two assertions most positively, and said he was only at Ala meda Point on July 11 to keep the men from committing any outrage. Gray also testified that West pulled a pistol on him, but the latter swore he had never carried a pistol in his life and was prepared to prove that fact. During the cross-examination it was brought out that since the trial began, although under subpena as a Govern ment witness, West has been engaged in Attorney Monteith's office segregating the evidence. M. Compton of Sacramento was called as a witness. He was a co-defendant with Knox in the Sacramento trials. He testi- i iied that United States District Attorney Knight was acting as United States Marshal Barry Baldwin's legal adviser during the strike. That was, of course, prior to his appointment to his present position. Kniglit was everywhere, accord ing to Compton, and in fact actea as Bald win's mouthpiece. The case will be con tinued to-day. Xx position of Mexico. A. K. Coney, president of the American Mexican Exposition Company, yesterday vis ited the Consul-General of China in relation to the Exposition of Mexico, the result of which was that the Consul-General of China will call a meeting of the Six Companies in order to elect a special committee to represent the inter ests of Chinese merchants at the coming ex position. It is promised that the Chinese will make an elaborate display, which, it is ex pected, will greatly overshadow the g\and ex hibit they made at the Chicago Exposition and the Midwinter Fair. •Tewigh Patriotism!.

PROPELLED BY A WHALE-GUN Every Shot Was Successful, Pleasing the Experts— An Arrest. "The latest addition to the life-saving service of the United States is the use of a whale-gun for the purpose of throwing life lines to vessels in distress," said Major Blakeney, superintendent of the life-saving service on this coast, yesterday, "and we are here to test the new addition." This was said at the Fort Point station, and without any ceremony the station crew, under command of Captain Hodg son, were sent to the range to make the test. The gun is of brass, barrel and stock measuring two feet nine inches, the barrel itself being one foot seven inches long. The bore is one inch in diameter and the projectile, which is a steel bar weighing one pound, fitting close into the barrel, is forced out by means of half an ounce of slow-burning common powder. The range, which is along the bay shore, has at one end a firing post, to ■which the gun is affixed ; then there is a staff with a I flag at 39 yards, another at 89 yards and a ! mast with one yard across it at 120 yards. I The last represents the mast of a vessel at ) sea, while the others are used to determine j the drift of the line in its course. The members of the crew, attired in neat ! suits of navy-blue with the name of the station in turkey- red across the breast of the shirt, at the command of the captain took the position to which each is assigned at drill, and each performed his particular duty with clock-like precision. The first test was made with a No. 4 line, which is the smallest in the service, meas uring but three-eighths of an inch in diam eter, but as Captain Hodgson remarked, i "it is strong enough to hang a horse." The gun was lashed to the top of the firing post, the charge of powder, in a metallic case, placed in the breech and the pro jectile, to which the line had been fast ened, was driven home. The line, which had been removed from the faking-box, lay in a tub held by one of the crew. The "faking" of the line is one of the nice A Faking: Box With Life Line Coiled. points in the service, for in this is the secret of sending the line to its destination without its being caught in a snarl. The gun was adjusted to an elevation of 30 degrees and sighted to meet the wind, which blew directly across the range and is called by sailors "a beam wind." There was a sharp report, the projectile arose, described a graceful upward curve «ntil it reached a height of nearly a hundred feet, then came down as gracefully, but rapidly, carrying the line with, it ahd fell a little beyond and to windward of the mast, but the lifeline fell within six feet of it. As the projectile struck the ground Pro fessor George Davidson, who was an inter ested watcher of the experiment, ex claimed, "Four seconds," indicating the time the projectile had taken to reach the point at which it fell. "That was not bad," remarked Major Blakeney as he walked down the range to observe all the points that are of interest to the service. "The projectile went some way off, but the line fell all right. It would have been caught if the point where the mast stands had been a Whitehall boat. The object of these guns," he continued, "is for use from the bow of the service boats. It can be used when a Lyle gun, which throws a 26-pound projectile, cannot be used. If a vessel is at a point which can not be reached from the shore, and if men in a boat can get within 120 or 140 yards of her they can fire a lifeline to her. It is a great idea, a grand idea, this of Captain Hodgdon's, and it will no doubt soon be in use in all the life-saving stations in the United States." The official record of the first test is as follows: Time, 4 seconds; charge of powder, half an ounce; elevation, 30 degrees; drift of line at 39 yards, 28 feet; at 89 yards, 30 feet; at 120 yards, 6 feet to windward; length of rope thrown, 160 yards; distance at which pro jectile fell, 133 yards. These tests were made with a %-line and with half-inch line, and three more with the lightest line. All these were at dif ferent degrees of elevation, and all estab lished the efficiency of the gun for the pur pose intended. The distances were 120 yards, 89 yards, 137 yards, 145 yards and 142 yards. In two instances the projectile fell in front of the post, and in every instance the line fired at an ordinary-sized ship would have fallen across it. The last test was made by Major Blakeney, who sighted the gun and reduced the elevation much lower than on any previous test, and it was the best shot of the day, for the line fell across the yard on the mast. With pardonable pride the major re marked that he could still sight a gun. Captain Hodgdon stated that the gun is not only serviceable for the purpose for which it will be used, but that it can be affixed to the wheel of a fire-engine and used to fire a lifeline into the upper story of a burning building. The station is located on the Government reservation, and in order to reach it Uncle Sam's military territory must be crossed. A reporter and an artist— the latter carry ing a camera— were on their way there when they were halted by a mounted guard, who asked: "Gentlemen, what have you there?" The newspapermen stated their business. The guard said that he was sorry, but that "orders are that no dogs and no cameras are allowed on the ground." The reporter said that he must go to the station, but the only consolation he received was, "orders are orders, and if you persist in going ahead I shall have to put you under arrest." The artist offered to bury the camera in the sand until he was ready to return to the city, but the offer was not accepted. "Gentlemen," continued the guard, "I will ride up to the officer of the day, and while I am gone you will have to remain here," and with that he galloped away. He returned with the information that h would accompany the pair to the station, and if they could get through their busi ness in five minutes he would conduct them off the reservation. The captain of the station sent his compliments to the general, with a request for permission to use the camera to take pictures for the Government, but the messenger returned with a message to the effect that the gen eral was taking a nap, and that no one would dare to awaken him, and that as orders were orders the camera was for the time being placed in the guardhouse and the two newspaper men were placed on parole during their stay on the reserva tion. When it was time to leave the artist recovered his property and went his way, feeling happy that Uncle Sam's grip was no Vjncer on his shoulder. TO INDICATE FIRE ALARMS. Chief Sullivan Wants Street Lamps Employed for That Purpose. The Top Panes Are to Be Red and the Lower Ones Will Have Signs. The chief engineer of the Fire Depart ment is anxious to have lire alarms in dicated by street lamps so that no diffi culty may be encountered in finding an alarm-box. He has laid thi matter before the Board of Supervisors, an 1 it is now under con sideration. A sample lamp has been manufactured, or rather an ordinary street gas-lamp was altered to show what is needed. The four upper glass panes are removed, and red glass is substituted, while about half-way down the side glasses are painted the words, "Fire alarm," in red ietters. These One of the Fainted Lamps. lamps can be seen several blocks away, and when poople come to understand what they mean they will prove of great utility and convenience. There are millions of dollars of United States notes marked on the treasury's books as not redeemed which will never be presented. Most of this money has been destroyed. ALLEN IS SLOWLY GAINING VOTES. Twenty-Two Eecounted Pre cincts Give Him One Hun dred and Nineteen. GLYNN LOSES SEVENTY-FOUR. The Figures Vary From a Loss of Forty-Two to a Gain of Twenty-Three. Twenty-two precincts was the record of yesterday's work in the Allen-Glynn re count for the recordership before Judge Murphy. The figures showed a net gain for Allen of 119 votes. Of these he gained 45 straight, and this, with Glynn's loss of 74, made up his total. The greatest fraud which the clay devel oped was in the Twelfth Precinct of the Twenty-ninth District. There Glynn went back 42 votes — from 139 to 97. At the same time Allen went up 23 — from 38 to fil— making a net gain for Allen in that pre cinct alone of <»"> votes. A little further on, in the Fifteenth of the Twenty-ninth, Glynn took another step backward, this time losing 17, and again In the name- pre cinct Allen went up, in ilii:-. case L 0 rotes. Outside of these precincts Allen gained steadily, sometimes In <>n<-s and twos and in one case by four. Glynn just as steadily fell back, almost every precinct tearing him a little further down. Allen gained 51 and lost fi; net gain, 45. Glynn gained 14 and lost 88; net loss, 74. Allen's net gain over Glynn was 119. The figures are as follows: TWKNTY-EIHIITII DISTRICT. a -. IIYXN.

Local Organizations Receive $1300— The History of the Fund. The annual distribution of the accumu lated interest of the Robinson bequest fund took place in Mayor Sutro's office yester day afternoon, the Mayor and Supervisors Taylor and Benjamin apportioning the money to the various charitable organiza tions whose claims were considered. The Mayor's idea— that the funds should be given to the various charitable organi zations in rotation— was approved by the Supervisors, and, in consequence, several societies who did not receive any portion at the last distribution will receive a share this year : The charitable institutions to which the money was distributed and the amount given to each were as follows : Associated Charities, $400; St. Andrew's So ciety, #100; Little Sisters' Infant Shelter, $100; l-.ureka Benevolent Society, $100; French Ladies' Benevolent Society," $100 ; Children's Hospital, $100; (Jcnoral German Ladies' Be nevolent Society, $100; San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children, $100; Young Women's Christian Association. $100; Catholic Ladies' Aid Society No. 2, $100. Total, $1300. There is still in the Mayor's hands the sum of $344 85, which he will distribute to deserving individuals as they are shown to be worthy of charity. Henry E. Robinson, the founder of the fund, was a pioneer of 1849. He entered into mercantile pursuits and soon accumu lated a fortune, eventually returning to his home in Norwalk, Conn.", where he died, June 10, 1880. He always had the liveliest in terest in the State where he prospered, and his will contained the following clause: I give and bequeath to the Mayor. Common Council and commonality of the city of San Francisco the sum of #40.000, in trust, "to be by them and their successors invested to the best advantage, the interest accruing thereon to be paid out from time to time to the destitute women and children of the city and county of San Francisco, California, in such manner as such Mayor or Common Council may deem most proper and beneficial. During the past fourteen years many hundreds of destitute people in this city have had their suffering alleviated by do nations from the fund. HJNEKAL OF MRS. A. E. DAVIS.

They Com^ar"e Notes and Discuss Insurance Matters at Length. The nineteenth annual convention of the Fire Underwriters' Association of the Pacific was held yesterday at Sansome and California streets. Rolla V. Watt presided. In his address he said that the association had progressed favorably during the past year, although much had taken place to disturb friendly relations among insurance men. Reports were read by R. W. Osborn, secretary and treasurer, Herbert Folger of the executive committee and A. J. Wetzlar of the library committee. The reports were well received, as they showed a larger membership, with more money in the treasury than one year aeo. C. F. Towe, the "Fire Marshal, spoke on |'over Insurance as a Cause of Fires," hold ing it tempts many people tolncendiarism. George E. Butler read a paper on "Arson Committee Work and Experiences." John R. Hillman's address was on "Plate Glass Insurance." Three amusing papers on the special agent from the manager's, local agent's and his own point of view were read by Hugh Craig, Whitney Palache and Frank 1). Brown, respectively. "Little Fire Hazards and How to Pre- . vent Them" was the subject of an address by F. H. Porter. "Mutual Relations of In surance and Electrical Interests" and "How to Inspect Electrical Plants and Power-houses," formed the topics of George P. Low's address. "Inspections," by Ed Niles, was a humorous talk, hutfull of meat, and was highly appreciated by the underwriters.

Fire Underwriters Suspend the Boycott Rnle. The Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific held a meeting yesterday and de cided to suspend the non-interconrse rule which had been in operation against the few manager! who stubbornly refused to join the new compact. This law prohibited members of the compact from haying any business rela tions whatever with non-union men, and wont 80 far as to compel agents to resign agencies of the non-union companies. Manager Daval of the Continental took the matter up, regarding it as a boycott and a breach of law. He threatened to serve an injunction on the compact pro hibiting it from boycotting his company. Then it was that the compact saw the non intercourse rule in a new light. The British Shig> Elmbank Agatu. The case of Thomas Price vs. the British ship Elmbank was argued and submitted in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals yester day. It will be remembered that the Elmbar.lc nrrived here from Hakodate with a cargo of sulphur. It caught tin- and the assistance of Price was culled in. With the assistance of carbonic acid gas he saved the ship and claimp .1 salvage. United States District Judge Morrow awarded him $10,000, and the underwriters carried the case to the Court of Appeals
