San Francisco, April 26 — The Chronicle prints interviews with a number of leading Republicans of the State relative to the advisability of sending an instructed delegation to the St. Louis convention. A large majority of the Republicans of California are for the nomination of ex-Gov. McKinley and deem it advisable to send a delegation to the national convention pledged to his support. The gist of the interviews obtained by the Chronicle is contained in the statement of James A. Waymire, which follows: "I am in favor of instructing our delegation to vote for McKinley for President, not first, last and all the time, but as the choice of Calitornia, and leaving it to their discretion to change when they find there is no reasonable hope of success. There is no other safe way of enabling the Republicans of the State to make known their wishes. McKinley is the only candidate who has ever developed national strength. Already 430 votes have been secured by instructions for the first ballot—votes coming from thirty-one States. He is certain to have votes from all the States, except three or four, and more than a third of the States will send instructed delegates for him. At present the indications are that he will have 506 votes on the first ballot, enough to nominate him without slightly exceed the estimates of $15,000,000, making the total receipts for the year about $327,000,000. The secretary's estimate of the year's expenditures was $362,000,000, which according to his figures, would leave a deficiency of $17,000,000. The actual expenditures, it is now thought, will aggregate about $352,-000,000, or $10,000,000 less than Mr. Carlile's estimate in December last; so the deficit at the close of the year, it is believed, will not show any very material difference from Saturday's figures of $25,162,423. This makes the total deficit for the three fiscal years ending June 30, 1896, $136,861,812. The secretary's estimates at the time they were made were believed by those of long experience in the department to be extremely conservative. The receipts from both customs and internal revenue sources, however, have been surprisingly low, and there does not seem to be any immediate prospects of material improvement. HOLDS A UNIQUE POSITION. THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS MERELY AN EMERGENCY MAN. — LITTLE PATRONAGE. The Vice-Presidency is essentially an office of dignity. No other office under the Government, so highly esteemed as that of the Vice-President of the United States, has such lofty possibilities for its occupant, while at the same time being so utterly bereft of influence either to wield patronage or to affect legislation. The Vice-Presidency requires a man fitted to fill the highest office under the Government. He is an emergency man. Should death remove the President it is he who is called upon to occupy the White House. Should there be a tie in the vote of the Senate he then has the deciding vote, but except in this emergency, he is without influence to affect legislation. While the Speaker of the House of Representatives assigns all the Representatives to places on committees, and in that way virtually determines what legislation shall be enacted. The Vice-President, not being a member of the Senate, has nothing to do with the formation of committees, and is not even admitted to the caucuses of his party, in which if that SNAP SHOTS AT THE NATIONAL WEDnesday night Martin Bernard chanat at Scott, near Lafayette, La., where dead in bed with his hands and feet mouth gagged. The safe was empty having been taken. An autopsy fifty-two stiletto wounds about the neck breast. Council No. 240 of the A.P.A., Ohio, has issued a public statement denying the A.P.A. attack upon McKinley which declares is made for personal benefit. It will oppose by every means that of the order to encompass his defeat. Secretary Carlisle has issued an order to superintendent of the mint at Philadelphia to coin $50,000 in pennies, nickels for distribution on the Pacific Ocean. The object is to introduce these small coins in California, and the order was made request of the sub-treasurer at San Francisco. Judge Towner has rendered a decision the case of Villa Park and Elk people against Irvine, to settle the ownership to the waters of the S Creek. The Judge finds that both parian owners and entitled to a portion of the water—how much must be detained by another trial. James D. Page who while Districtney of San Francisco applied for and pointed guardian of the estate of Louse noker, an insane man of Agnows, was day sentenced to eight years' imprisonment at San Quentin for robbing his insane house of $4,000, leaving him in the pauper and squandering the patient's saving himself. A plague is devastating the swine River Valley, A.T. Over eight thousand have died in the last ninety days, fifty dying daily. Sixteen square miles the valley are infected, and the disease still spreading. There are 125,000 swine in the valley. Gov. Franklin has called Prof. Devell, chief United States veteran, to establish quarantine. The placed at $100,000. Judge Lorigan of the superior court Santa Clara has issued citations disproving Supervisors S. F. Ayer, A.Green John Roll and George E. Rea to apply court on May 1st and answer charges ferred against them by Edward Hales. THE INFLUX OF ITALIANS. Since the beginning of this year, and chiefly since the middle of March, about 16,000 immigrants from Italy, according to Commissioner Senner, have been landed on Ellis Island, in New York harbor. This is a great rush; tor, if we take the month of March alone, it showed 9,320 Italian immigrants at the port of New York, against 2,665 the previous March, and 3,505 the year before. And there is nothing like the same advance in other immigration, although there is also some increase there, the total of the first three months of 1896, including the Italians, showing 47,601, against 28,108 last year, and March showing 28,050, against 14,842. The years 1895 and 1894 were far below the average of the four preceding, the two combined not equaling the annual average of those years; but the main point just now is that the proportion coming from Italy is exceptional. What is the cause of this extra influx? First, the wretched financial and political condition of Italy, with its taxes heavy and growing heavier, not even letting the poor escape; and now the superadded fear of being forced into the army and sent off to fight the dervies or the hordes of King Menelek. Next comes reviving prosperity here; for one of the features of the influx is said to be the return of a considerable number of immigrants who quitted us in former years, when the hard times came. As to the new Italian arrivals at least half have been detained for inquiry, and as many as one-fifth may be debarred from entering, or else deported for the various reasons allowed under the law. Of 219,006 immigrants arriving at New York for the year ending June 30 last, excluding those from British North America and Mexico, only 2,075 were debarred from entering and 99 were deported, making an aggregate of AN AWFUL MINE DISASTER. EL PASO (Tex.), April 25.—A terrible disaster occurred in the Santa Eulalia mines, twelve miles from the city of Chihuahua, Mexico, yesterday morning, which resulted in the death of at least thirty men. The famous Santa Eulalia mines have been worked almost continuously for 300 years and are credited with an output of $300,000. Twenty-two mines are grouped close together and for many years were worked in common. As a result they had been worked out in great chambers connected by drifts on different levels to a depth of many hundreds of feet, so that several acres in area had been honeycombed, large pillars of ore being left here and there to support the mass above. Recently contracts were let to a number influence either to wield patronage or to affect legislation. The Vice-Presidency requires a man fitted to fill the highest office under the Government. He is an emergency man. Should death remove the President it is he who is called upon to occupy the White House. Should there be a tie in the vote of the Senate he then has the deciding vote, but except in this emergency, he is without influence to affect legislation. While the Speaker of the House of Representatives assigns all the Representatives to places on committees, and in that way virtually determines what legislation shall be enacted, Vice-President, not being a member of the Senate, has nothing to do with the formation of committees, and is not even admitted to the caucus of his party, in which, if that party have a majority, committee assignments are determined and the policy of the party is mapped out. The patronage of the Vice-President consists in the appointment of a Secretary, a messenger, a telegraph operator and a telephone page. That is all. The presiding officer of the Senate occupies a handsome room, opening on the Senate lobby, and he is accorded all the respect which goes with his high office, the chief function of which is to preside over the deliberations of the United States Senate. Because of the peculiar character of the duties of the Vice-President the daily routine of his life is very different from that of a United States Senator. His social life in Washington is just what he chooses to make it. His invitations would not be disregarded by any one in official or social life, but whether he entertain much or little is a matter purely within his own pleasure. While certain social functions are a part of the official duties of the President, the Vice-President is free to entertain or not, as he sees fit. But the Vice-President is sought by many visitors to the capital. He is one of the sights of the capital, and visitors from Illinois especially do not like to leave Washington without having sought an introduction to the Vice-President and the man who is regarded as a Presidential possibility. The duties of the Vice-President do not require him to burn any midnight oil in the consideration of public questions. He has ample opportunity to keep himself informed on all matters that come before Congress by being a good listener, and he has no occasion to prepare any speech for delivery in the Senate. He is relieved from all committee work, of course, and even the task of presiding over the Senate is rendered an easy one because of the fact that that body is a very docile one to govern, and is not fraught with the perplexing parliamentary problems that are constantly occurring in the House of Representatives. The fact that the Senate is so largely run by "courtesey" makes it an easy body to preside over. Perhaps no man connected with the United States Senate is so apt to be bored as is the Vice-President. Without power to influence legislation, his office being such that even any suggestion from him would be apt to be regarded as an unwarranted interference, he is yet obliged to attend sessions of the Senate daily, and to recognize this or that one who happens to have a bill or a suggestion to make. Miss Laura White created a sensation Ardmore, I. T., by publicly horsewiping Prof. Linn, a druggist. He had charged with theft. Miss White is an orphan boarded with the Linns. In closing her tablism for the night, Linn took contents of the cash drawer,$210, home placed it under his pillow. He forgot money next morning, and when he search for it later in the day could not it. He had a warrant issued and owed Miss White, as well as her trunk, searched. The money was not found. A 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Miss White companyed by a lady friend, borrowed horsewiping, and proceeded up Main stairs. Reaching the drugstore she seized Linn's arm with one hand and proceeded to orally ply the whip. Three stunning bills were administered before friends could terrace and stop the irate woman. Henry Miller, the wealthy stockman Freeso county, announces his determination THE TREASURY DEFICIT. WASHINGTON, April 26—The treasury deficit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, will be approximately $25,000,000. This is the opinion of officials and others best qualified to make an intelligent estimate of the results of the fiscal operations of the year. In his annual estimates sent to Congress at the beginning of the annual session the Secretary of the Treasury estimated the receipts from customs during the fiscal year at $172,000,000. So far, with nearly ten months of the year gone, the customs receipts have reached about $137,000,000, with a fair prospect of increasing to $165,000,000 by the close of the year. The estimate of the receipts from internal revenue sources was $158,000,000. Up to this time they have reached $120,000,000, and it is expected the figures for the completed year will be about $146,000,000. The receipts from miscellaneous sources are expected to grow heavier, not even letting the poorest escape; and now the superadded fear of being forced into the army and sent off to fight the dervishes or the hordes of King Menelek. Next comes reviving prosperity here; for one of the features of the influx is said to be the return of a considerable number of immigrants who quitted us in former years, when the hard times came. As to the new Italian arrivals at least half have been detained for inquiry, and as many as one-fifth may be debarred from entering, or else deported for the various reasons allowed under the law. Of 219,006 immigrants arriving at New York for the year ending June 30 last, excluding those from British North America and Mexico, only 2,075 were debarred from entering and 99 were deported, making an aggregate of 2,174, or about one per cent. Italy, however, with 35,241 arriving at New York, had 500 debarred as paupers and 230 as contract laborers, making 730 in all, and more returned within one year after landing. However, Russia, exclusive of Poland, with 25,863 immigrants, had 530 debarred as paupers or contract laborers and 7 returned, and from certain parts of Austria, with a total of 14,598, there were debarred 334, a majority as contract laborers, with one returned. Like the Scandinavian, the Slav, the Czech, and the Magyar immigration, the Italian has shown an extraordinary growth of late years. Thus we find that in the seventy-five years from the year 1821 to the year 1895 inclusive, the total immigration from Italy was 680,568, and yet that 292,010, or about three-sevenths, fell within the last five years of the period. The ten years previous had 307,389 from Italy, so that of the entire arrivals during the last seventy-five years, about six-sevenths have belonged to the last fifteen. Thus as a large part of the year's immigration comes in the spring, though the recent rush from that quarter is remarkable, the year's reckoning may not surpass that of previous years. The statistics of 1895 show 35,421 immigrants at this port from Italy, and in 1893 there were nearly twice as many, inclusive of those from Sicily and Sardinia. Governer Ahunada is on the ground directing the efforts of the rescuers, but it is not believed that a single one of the thirty men now in their living grave will be rescued alive. We take pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy because it is praised by all who try it," says J. W. Cox & Son, druggists, Marashfield, Oregon. No one afflicted with a throat or lung trouble can use this remedy without praising it. It always gives prompt relief. It is especially valuable for colds as it relieves the lungs, makes breathing easier and aids expectoration.

Twenty-two mines are grouped close together and for many years were worked in common. As a result they had been worked out in great chambers connected by drifts on different levels to a depth of many hundreds of feet, so that several acres in area had been honeycombed, large pillars of ore being left here and there to support the mass above. Recently contracts were let to a number of Mexican miners and laborers to take the ore from the old workings. In their eagerness to secure large quantities of ore with the least labor these contractors began tearing down the pillars of ore that had been left by the ancient miners for the support of the roofs of the chambers, and they also cut away the masses of ore that had been left between the chambers. Thus weakened, the ground began to give way, and almost instantly sixty-two of the men underground were cut off from escape. All the outside force available immediately went to work to rescue their imprisoned fellowmen and a large number were soon afterward sent out from Chihuahua. Thirty-seven men have been recovered from the ruins. Of this number ten are dead, seven are dying and others are seriously injured. There are thirty men still underground, and several of them can be heard crying piteously for help and water. The lamentations of the grief-striken families of the entombed men are heart-rending. Wives, mothers and children, wild with grief, rush frantically appealing to the rescuing party to save their friends. The scene beggars description.

Henry Miller, the wealthy stockman Freo county, announces his determination to wage warfare against Assessor Hoskin Madera county. Mr. Miller'sire is but unable to take action of Assessor Hoskin levying an arbitrary assessment on his sonal property, which the Assessor says fraudulently suppressed when giving in list of property in order to escape taxes on it. The law provides in no case where property has been withheld or coalesced to escape taxation; that the Assessor has the option of placing the valuation ten times the regular amount; as a penny Hoskin acted under this principle; fixed the valuation at eight times the rate on the property as withheld by Mr Miller with the result that under present value $12,420 will have to be paid by Mr Miller does not like this; and he sweeps will never paythe taxes,andHoskin equally vehement inthe assertion that will pay every centof it.The citizens taxpayers generally throughoutthe country evince a little interest inthe outcome ocontroversy betweenthe wealthy stockovemandthe Assessor.

CAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS Wednesday night Martin Bernard, a merchant at Scott, near Lafayette, La., was found in bed with his hands and feet tied and with gagged. The safe was empty, $7,000 being taken. An autopsy showed two stiletto wounds about the neck and chest. Council No. 240 of the A. P. A., of Ada, has issued a public statement denouncing the A. P. A. attack upon McKinley, which declares it made for personal reasons. It will oppose by every means the purpose of the order to encompass his defeat. Secretary Carlisle has issued an order to superintendent of the mint at Philadelphi to coin $50,000 in pennies, nickles and silver for distribution on the Pacific Coast. Object is to introduce these smaller coins into California, and the order was made at the last of the sub-treasurer at San Francisco. Judge Towner has rendered a decision in case of the Villa Park and El Modena sale against Irvine, to settle the disputedorship to the waters of the Santa Cruz. The Judge finds that both are riven owners and entitled to a portion of water—how much, must be determined another trial. James D. Page who while District Attorment of San Francisco applied for and was appointed guardian of the estate of Louis Lichter, an insane man of Agnews, was on Frientenced to eight years' imprisonment on Quinten for robbing his insane ward 1,000, leaving him in the pauper ward, quandering the patient's savings upon death. The oblique is devastating the swine of Salt Valley, A.T. Over eight thousand swine died in the last ninety days, forty to fifty daily. Sixteen square miles of valley are infected, and the disease is spreading. There are 125,000 swine in valley. Gov. Franklin has called upon Devill, chief United States veterinarian, to establish quarantine. The loss is at $100,000. Judge Lorigan of the superior court of Clara has issued citations directing advisors S. F. Ayer, A. Greeninger, Roll and George E. Rea to appear in May lst and answer charges pre-against them by Edward Halsey. The president landed safely on the street. There was scarcely enough of the carriage left when the horses got through with it to make it worth while to take it back. At first there were rumors that the President had been badly hurt, and had been taken to Woodley, but these reports were soon corrected. About 8 o'clock Friday night as the sexton of St. Francis Church on Vallejo street in San Francisco was walking through the church he noticed a strange object lying in one of the pews. On examination it was discovered that it was the nude body of a male infant. The child had been dead but a few hours. The body was probably placed in the church shortly before 8 o'clock, as it was not there when the sexton passed down the aisle shortly before that time. There is no clew that will lead to the discovery of the parents. It is evidently another case of child murder, strangulation apparently being the cause of death. There is a strong possibility that the delegates from the Territories who have the statehood bills in charge will not attempt to secure Congressional action until next session. Delegates Catron and Murphy made a canvass of the House since the New Mexico and Arizona bills were reported, and encountered obstacles which lead them to believe the bills will command more votes next session than in the present one. The efforts of the Republican leaders to bring about an early adjournment have to be taken into consideration, and the delegates do not care to have the bills suspended in conference or between the House and the Senate when Congress adjourns. It is expected that the Committee on Territories will report the Oklahoma statehood bill this week. Delegates Flynn, Catron and Murphy declare they expect to stand or fall together. Spain has been called to account for the outrage committed on Dr. Jose Manuel Delgado, an American citizen, on March 4, on that gentleman's plantation in the province of Mainoa, Cuba. There has been considerable correspondence between the United States and Spain on the subject, and the facts of the brutal character of the outrages are so well authenticated that the latter country has shown itself to be not averse to making amends. It is confidently believed by the State Department authorities that as a result of their protest Spain will enter another anarchy to the United States. Convention is held a full party platform would not be adopted until then. There will be the election of a new State Central Committee and many are deeply interested in its make-up. The time when Presidential electors and Congressman are to be nominated will be decided. The question of whether or not the delegates to the National Convention are to be instructed will be one of the most important before the convention and many influential delegates are giving that matter careful consideration. The attitude of the party in California on the silver question will undoubtedly be declared. Resolutions on this question are now taking form in the minds and with the pens of various men who expect to have things to say on the floor either as regularly elected delegates or by virtue of proxies. The women suffraghists will be on hand, too, and all around the convention will be an interesting and a notable one. The report comes from San Francisco that for a week or two past there has been in California a capitalist from New York trying to buy up irrigation bonds at a figure which will insure him a handsome profit. The investor has kept his personality to himself. He has traveled to and fro between San Francisco, Modesto and Stanislaus county, but while dealing with owners of bonds or negotiating with brokers he has done so through a representative—a contractor well known in Fresno and San Francisco. Thus far he is said to have picked up bonds that cost him $103,000, but he is eager for more, and this eagerness is all the more notable since he is believed to be in a position to make a good guess as to what the decision of the Supreme Court will be on the irrigation act. The name of the Eastern speculator is withheld by those who have had private dealings with him, but he is believed to be William A. Thompson, a resident of Troy, N.Y., who arrived a week or two ago. These bonds have had no sale since July last, when Judge Ross of the United States District Court, sitting at Los Angeles, declared the Wright act unconstitutional. The owners, however, or the financiers who picked up the securities at the moment of the first fight have clung to them, believing in their ultimate value. The Grand Jury of Sacramento county demands that Supervisors J. M. Morrisson, J. W. Todd, W. Curtis, J. F. Dreman and Thomas Jenkins be custodied for them Judge Lorigan of the superior court of Clara has issued citations directing advisors S. F. Ayer, A. Greeninger, Roll and George E. Rea to appear in on May 1st and answer charges against them by Edward Halsey. The cases are embraced in a petition filed by Roy, in which he alleges the supervisors violated their trusts in allowing bills awarding contracts in direct violation of law. The clausler suit by Mlle. Jane May, the actress, against the Rev. Joseph Pull of Bridgeport, Conn., for heavy damage practically been brought to an end public retraction by Dr. Pullman. A series of afflictions have recently befallen doctor's household—a severe illness of life, an almost fatal sickness of his son, and the death of his daughter, a young girl of seventeen. Mlle. Jane May, the offer of retraction was tendered, intended to extend to him the charity he had not for her. In her acceptance stress rebuked clergymen in general for suspensions on stage folk. Section has been commenced in San Francisco that will test the law changing the laws of county officials from two to four. A restraining order has been asked prevent the board of election commission for spending municipal funds for the use of electing city and county officials year. It is alleged that the city county of San Francisco comes within provisions of the law of 1893 which prohibits county officers shall be elected four years. The election commissioners passed a resolution directing the purpose of a large quantity of ballot paper in November. This election, it is said, will be contrary to law and will be useless expenditure of public funds. Laura White created a sensation at late I. T., by publicly horsewhipping Linn, a druggist. He had charged her theft. Miss White is an orphan and with the Linns. In closing his comment for the night, Linn took the asses of the cash drawer, $210, home and under his pillow. He forgot the next morning, and when he made a for it later in the day could not find he had a warrant issued and caused White, as well as her trunk, to be found. The money was not found. About ink in the afternoon, Miss White, soiled by a lady friend, borrowed a shirt, and proceeded up Main street, using the drugstore she seized Linn by one hand and proceeded to vigorously whip the whip. Three stunning blows administered before friends could indigestion stop the irate woman. Senator Cannon of Utah has introduced a joint resolution to have constructed a monstrous map of the United States, showing every physical feature of the country, every hill, mountain, valley and plain, every lake, river, every hamlet, village, town and city and probably every railroad. All this is to be done in miniature, but on such a scale as will give a map about two-thirds of a mile in length by one-third of a mile in breadth. The resolution introduced by Mr. Cannon makes it possible to account for the outrage committed on Dr. Jose Manuel Delgado, an American citizen, on March 4, on that gentleman's plantation in the province of Maine, Cuba. There has been considerable correspondence between the United States and Spain on the subject, and the facts of the brutal character of the outrages are so well authenticated that the latter country has shown itself to be not averse to making amends. It is confidently believed by the State Department authorities that as a result of their protest Spain will enter another apology to the United States and will remove the officer in command of the detachment of soldiers who directed the occurrence which is now the cause of complaint. This will be followed by the submission of a claim for a money indemnity. Dr. S. M. Woodbridge of Los Angeles, who recently lectured here, has made very satisfactory tests in the use of steam in the destruction of insects on fruit trees, and feels entire confidence that scale and other insect pests on orange and other fruit trees may be destroyed as effectually by steam as by poisonous gas, and at much less expense. He puts a covering of tarred paper over the trees and subjects them to a Turkish bath at a given temperature for a short time, and from his present experience believes the whole tribe of insect pests may be wiped out without injury to the trees. The Doctor does not consider his device patentable, and as we are informed, make no attempt in that direction; but if it proves a success on further tests, the benefits of the invention will be freely given to fruit growers. When David Finnie, a teamster, returned to his home at 1034 Nineteenth street in San Francisco at 6 o'clock Thursday evening he found his wife dead in bed and his little 2-year-old girl lying wide awake by her mother's side. Finnie had left the house at 6 o'clock in the morning after cooking his own breakfast, as was his custom. There was no evidence when death had come, except the presence of the child's clothing in the bed, showing that the mother had been preparing to dress her little one. Mrs. Finnie for some time had complained of a pain about the heart, but there had been no imitation of her sudden death. The neighbors had heard no sound, not even a cry from the child that had remained by its dead mother's side all through the day, amusing itself with its doll and waiting uncomplainingly until its papa should come home. The Governor and Legislature of Utah have presented to Congress a memorial asking that portions of Coconino and Mohave counties in Arizona, which lie north of the Colorado river, be annexed to their State. The reason is that the Colorado forms "an impassable barrier" between portion of Arizona on the Utah side and the remainder of the Territory. This cuts the people off from communication with Arizona, and with its courts, except by a circuitous route through a country now wild and rough and occupied by Apaches and Navajos. The people of those counties are said by the memorial to live within four miles of Utah line, to have their interests in common with Utah and to be incapable of receiving due protection from Arizona. Proof of this subject is furnished by a petition of fifteen residents and landholders in Coconino county, supported by twenty residents of Kane county, in Utah, who are tax payers in Coconino county.

Y Miller, the wealthy stockman of county, announces his determination to warfare against Assessor Hoskins of the county. Mr. Miller's iris is attritue to the action of Assessor Hoskins in an arbitrary assessment on his perproperty, which the Assessor says he ently suppressed when giving in his property in order to escape paying on it. The law provides, in cases of property has been withheld or conso escape taxation, that the Assessor option of placing the valuation at the regular amount, as a penalty. Is acted under this principle, and the valuation at eight times the usual the property as withheld by Miller, the result that under the present valu420 will have to be paid by Miller. does not like this, and he swears he never pay the taxes, and Hoskins is devement in the assertion that he every cent of it.

Finally, when it seemed the carriage must go to pieces, the Utah line, to have their interests in common with Utah and to be incapable of receiving due protection from Arizona. Proof of this subject is furnished by a petition of fifteen residents and landholders in Coconino county, supported by twenty residents of Kane county, in Utah, who are tax payers in Coconino county. Senator Cannon of Utah has introduced a joint resolution to have constructed a monstrous map of the United States, showing every physical feature of the country, every hill, mountain, valley and plain, every lake, river, every hamlet, village, town and city and probably every railroad. All this is to be done in miniature, but on such a scale as will give a map about two-thirds of a mile in length by one-third of a mile in breadth. The resolution introduced by Mr. Cannon provides for the appointment of a commission of five persons who are to serve without compensation, whose duty it shall be to inquire into and report upon the advisability and cost of establishing such a map of the United States to present "Our Country in Miniature." The map is to be constructed on such a scale that one foot of map surface will represent one square mile on the actual area. In round numbers the United States extend about 3,500 miles from East to West, and about half that distance from North to South. This would give a map 3,500 feet long by 1,750 wide. One million dollars' worth of supplies of all sorts for the Indians under government control were purchased by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs at Washington on Tuesday. The articles purchased included vast quantities of drugs, medicines, meats, corn, flour and hominy, and oats in large quantities will be needed. The hardware schedule included carpenter's tools, bells, bolting, bits, bolts, files and other articles usually classed as hardware, in large quantities. Fifteen hundred dozen files were required, and more than 100,000 pounds of raw iron, and nearly 300,000 pounds of nails. The miscellaneous schedule included woolen ware, saddles, harness, leather, agricultural implements, wagons, stoves, tinware, etc. On this schedule appeared 8,000 boxes of shoebacking. The need of this article in such quantities for the redskins shows the effect of civilization. More than 8,000 farm wagons were included in the list. The Indian Commission also received bids in Chicago from railroad companies for transporting the supplies purchased from New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux City, St. Louis and St. Paul to the 143 Indian agencies in the various States and Territories. The amount of freight to be transported will include 2,500 tons of dry goods, clothing and groceries, and 3,000 tons of bacon, sugar and hardware. The Republican State Convention meets at Sacramento on Tuesday next, and during the coming week party leaders throughout the State will give busy attention to various matters which will come before it. There are important contests for the convention to decide at the outset of the meeting and then will come, besides the election of delegates to the National Convention, something in the nature of a platform, though if a later The Senate Committee on Commerce has agreed to place both San Pedro and Santa Monica improvements under the contract system in the river and harbor bill. The total appropriation for Santa Monica will amount to $3,000,000. The corresponding appropriation for next year at San Pedro will be $392,000, with an appropriation of $50,-000 for the next year, the San Pedro appropriation to be expended entirely in the inner harbor. The result was reached only after a spirited controversy, on Thursday last, in which no little feeling was displayed on both sides. Senator Frye leading the fight for Santa Monica and Senator White opposing him in the interest of San Pedro. The first vote was taken on the Santa Monica proposition,and resulted 9 to 6 in favor of it;as follows: For Santa Monica—Frye Jones of Nevada Quay,McMillan,Squire Elkina McBride,Gorman and Murphy.Against—White,Berry,Caffrey,Nelson,Pasco and Vest. Mr. White gave notice to the committee that when the bill reached the Senate he would move to strike out Santa Monica and insert San Pedro,tothe Mr.Frye replied that if there was going to be a row over the bill he would decline to take charge of it in the Senate. Mr. White retorted that he did not propose to allow the result of the committee to go unchallenged unless he was convinced it was the general wish of the people of California that the verdict should stand. When the Republican National Convention meets in St. Louis on June 16 to nominate a President and a Vice-President of the United States,the delegates will witness an innovation in the manner of handling a big convention.The proposition is something entirely new and original,and although it has not yet gone before,the sub-committee having charge of the convention arrangements,它 is said to be practically assured that it will be adopted.It is to connect the various State delegations with the speaker's desk by telephone,s so thatthe chairman may know the name of every man who is recognized,and thus be able to announce his name to the convention.The detail of the plan proposed does not differ from the system of room-to-room telephones in vogue in the larger hotels.There will be a central office back of the speaker's stand,and from there an operator will connect the various delegations with the chairman or each other,the case may be.The arrangements for giving the news to the outside world by telegraph will be the finest and most complete ever attempted at a national convention.In order to be able to handle the great press of businessthe Western Union Telegraph Company is stringing six new copper wires from St.Louis to Chicago,and four from St.Louis to New York.This will givethe conventionthe best telegraphic connections withthe outside world it has ever had.Fifty loopswillbe run intothe convention hall.The Postal Company is also making preparations forthe convention.Tree new copper wires are being strung between St.Louis and Chicago,and two more from St.Louis to New Yorkcity direct.
