SAN KRANCISCU, Oct. :. The trlcnulal
convention of tho Episcopal f'lturcli of
America was formally opened todny by thu
action of Hnhop Dudley of Kentucky m
president nnd llev. "S. Hart of Mlddlcton,
Conn., secretary of the house of bishops,
John S. Mndsay of Massachusetts, chairman,
and Hcv, Charles llutcblns, secretary of
tho house of deputies. No , other business
of Importance was transacted during thu
first business session of the convention,
fchlch dlil not ncscmblo until latu In thu
sfteruoou.
Tho Initial service In connection with
the convention was held thin morning at
Trinity church, whern the deleff.itos will
hold all their sessions. Trinity Is ono of
the ftnrst religious edifices on the I'uclfto
coaift, though a number of complaints have
been made In regard to Its acoustics.
The most striking feature of .the cere
monies, and' odo that will long be remem
bered by nil who saw It; was tho solemn
procession of blshopa, attired In their Rnr
K?ous raiments. Tho morning was cloudy
and a downpour of rain at tho first tlmu
fixed for tho Bcrvlcu led to the report that
this Impressive outdoor feature would be
omitted. The clouds lifted, however,
shortly before II o'clock and the original
program was carried out. Thousands of
people' crowded tho adjacent streets mid,
iilthoiiRh tho sidewalk surrounding tho
,.biirch was Inclosed In wlro rope, the norv
Ices of a squad of pollco were required to
prevent auy encroachment on tho route
of the procession.
rcii(-ll,c lllnlnii III l.lnr.
About scvcnty-flvo bishops participated
and In their robes of office made an Im
posing spectacle. After tho prelates had
entered the sacred cdlllco the laity followed
and In n few moments thcro was scarcely
standing room to bo found, although extra
galleries had been erected for the occasion,
The services making the religious con
secration of tho convention were simple,
but Imposing. The holy communion was
nerved, Ulshop Tuttlb of Missouri being
the celebrant. The epistle was read by
Hlshop Donne of Albany, N. V., nnd the
gOKpol by thn lord bishop of New Castle.
The sermon was delivered by Illshop Wlstur
Moits of Oregon.
Tho official' oratory was read by Illshop
Nichols of California, tho collection being
for general missions.
Tho music, wns rendered by tho vested
choir of tho parish, assisted by a largo
chorus, exceptionally fine. Tho service was
fit. Sacns' communion In II lint, tho Introlt
bolng (iounnd'B "Unfold, Ye Portals, ever
lasting." Although tho scrvlco was pro
tracted until (ulto n late, hour, nono left
the church until It wns concluded nnd then
with only expressions of commendation.
During the noon recess the drawing for
' seats In tho hall took placet. Tho result
caused some dissatisfaction ns sonio promi
nent delegates wcro thrown Into obscurity,
New York anil Pennsylvania especially on
( tnlnlng poor positions. This, however, was
remedied later.,

Negotiations Arc Off.
There will be no fusion In Douglas county
this year. The democrats and populists
had it out with each other last night nnd
as a result tho straight dcmocrntlc ticket
stands pat this morning, while tho pops
declare themselves to be out for a fight
for principle.
The central committees of both parties
met last night, the democratic at the rooms
of tho Jncksonlan club and the popullstlc
In the Frenrer block. The pops appointed
n conference committee, consisting of John
O. Yelser, Martin Langdon nnd Herman
Cohen, which put In an appearance nt the
reception room of the Jacksonlnn club as
early as 8 o'clock and watted patiently
for the democrats In tho upper hall to
name a committee to confer. It was nearly
9 o'clock when Dr. A. H. Hippie, Fred II.
Cosgrove and I. H, Mostyn came down
tho stairs nnd announced to the pops that
they had been nppolntcd to receive what
ever proposition they had to offer.
Iiiftt n Mltlr.
Tho two subcommittees retired to a
private room, where they discussed tho
situation for a half hour. Mr. Yelser, for
the pops, said that his organization was
rendy to fuse with the democrats on con
dition that it bo given cither the placo of
connlv Judge or county clerk on the ticket.
"It Is very little we ask," said he, "Just
enough to preserve the Identity of our
pnrty." Hut It happened to be Just that
"very little" that the democratic repre
sentatives, who hfld received their Instruc
tions In no uncertnln terms, could glvo no
promise of. Dr. Hippie, In his usual suave
manner, explained to tho pops, that tho
temper of the county central committee, In
session upstairs, wns anything but con
ciliatory and compromising, and ns much
ns It would please him to give them somo
nssuranco that their demand might bo
granted, he could not do so, because It
would lead only to disappointment.
"However," said the doctor for himself
nnd his associates, "we will convey your
yotir what shall we call It, nn ultimatum?
to the committee." After being assured
that they might call it an ultimatum, the
democratic conferees went upstairs to
mako their, report. The report wns brief
and to the point. It stated merely that
tho populists wr.uld ngreo to fusion only
on condition that they be given either tho
place of county Judge or county clerk on
tho ticket.
Committor t DIsclmrKrd,
"I move that the proposition of the popu
lists be rejected and Jhat the conferenco
committee ho discharged," shouted a mem
ber of the central committee. There wcro
hnlf n dozen seconds to the motion nnd It
was carried unanimously with cheers. Kvon
such strong tuslontsts ns Will Herdman
went nn record as being ngalnst any fur
ther dealing with the pops In this local
cniupalgn.
Thn populist conferenco committee r-,
turned to Its headquarters and reported tho
result of Its errand. After considerable
discussion. In which sen era 1 members of
tho committee referred to the manner In
which tho pops had been "kicked" hy
tho democrats at tho state convention and
again nt the democratic meeting which had
Just adjourned, It was decided to nominate
a straight popullstlo county ticket, from
sheriff down to constables. A subcom
mittee was appointed to secure candidates
who would go on tho ticket and promise
not to bo "pulled down" hy outulde In
fluence, nnd nn adjournment wns taken
until Saturday night In ordor to nllow time
for tho work.
Before the democratic meeting adjourned
It selected tho following executive com

FRED BRUNING'S PETITION

P. Connolly.
This morning Fred Brunlng will submit
to tho county clerk n petition, signed by a
large number of tho voters of the new
Second commissioner district, requesting
that his name he placed upon tho official
ballot ns candidate for commissioner from
that district.
This action Is taken by Mr. Brunlng to
provide ngalnst tho delay which may bo
mado by the supremo court In deciding the
application of Commissioner Connolly for a
writ of tnnndamun to compel tho clerk to
certify his name upon that ballot as dem
ocratic candidate for the same position
from that ward. Mr. Brunlng believes that
It Is possible for tho court to so delay mat
ters that, should tho case result In tho
reversal of tho decision of Judge Baker,
tlnre would not be time thereafter for a
republican nomination to bo filed, whereas.
If tho petition Is filed now, It will follow
tho rule In the Connolly case and tho
democrats will not have a walkaway In that
district,
Mr. Brunlng Bays that In case there Is
time enough after tho decision of the su
premo court Is entered nnd tho decision
of tho lower court Is revorsed he will ask
tho nomination at the hands of the repub
lican party and will withdraw his nomina
tion by petition.

In alluding to tho nntlonal convention
held at Wnshlngton Mrs. Walker spoko of
organized and consecrated womanhood, ns
n mighty, uncompromising foe jo wicked
ness, to crime nnd to official cownrdlcn
and weakness. Sho spoko of tho canteen
and nf tho sarcastic edltorlnls of many
of the leading papers which suggested that
courtesy bo shown to tho whllo rlbboners
In order that they might return to their
homes nnd r,lvo enthusiastic accounts of
their lnllucnca with congress.
Mrs. Wilkor said: "Thero was an In
fluence nnd a power mnnlfosted that could
not be dispelled by sarcastic or humorous
edltorlnls. It meant much to the law
makers of our Innd, to whom petitions
have bren otlered faithfully for tho last
quarter of a century, to meet somo of the
godly women who havo been pleading for
chastity nnd tcmporance. Thero wns an
Influence exerted by good, truo women, ns
they plended for their rights. Can you
not realize how this Influenco will become
magnified with positive power when It Is
nugmentod nnd supplemented by a ballot
In your own hnnds?"
Heform for 41u Future.
Mrs, Walker urged all tho women to
watch tho coming consideration of the can
teen and to boon the ulerl to send pe
titions to their representatives In congress
and to give out tho true facts throughout
the Innd. In conclusion, she snld: "When
a higher ideal of Christian life leaves Its
Impress upon society, It will not bo n ques
tion whether enrds, with prizes attached,
dancing nnd punch bowls ran constitute or
enter Into tho consistent Christian Ufa Our
Christian women will set In motion the ro
formn of all tho soclnl vires of tho day."

The ovonlng session opened with a tem
perance prayer meeting and, though nil
of tho ministers of tho city had been In
vited to participate, the congregation was
composed almost entirely of women. The
service was led by Mrs. S. J. Alglcr of
Plnttsmouth. After two well-rendered
numbers by tho Young Men's Christian
association quartet Mrs. Walker Intro
duced Miss Bell Kearney of Mississippi,
one of the foremost nntlonnl lecturors In
the Hold.
"Barnacles" wns the subject of Miss
Kearney's nddress and after recounting tho
most recent steps gained by tho Woman's
Christian Tempernnco union she named tho
eight hnrnncles that clogged thn wheels of
Its progress. These aro as follows: Po
litical parties' fear of the liquor traffic,
tho lower clahscs of foreigners In tho
country, the negroes In the south, tho In
difference of educnted men to their ob
ligations as voters, the withholding of the
ballot from women, tho liquor traffic-bound
press, tho dull conscience of church mem
bers to tholr responsibility In this matter
and tho llcenso laws. Around these points
she built her nrpuments.

THOROUGH SYSTEM FOR KEEPING RECORDS

.MnKlc I'll;' (iiiNsli,
Now that thn tax commissioner has
turned over a completed record of tho H01
assessment to tho city treasurer tho pay
ment of this year's taxes has commenced.
Whllo the great built of these taxes will
not bo paid for a month or ho, yet tho
treasurer will bo kept passably busy mak
ing out statements and filling in receipts,
With the completion ot tho treasurer's
record tho work of tho tax commissioner
Is by no menus completed. Tho assessment
book of l!i01 must now ho copied Into tho
field record book. Kor thu purpose of keep
ing these tax records to date Tax Com
missioner Kltzgerald has had mado a num
ber of field record books, which will last
for four yenrs, In tlico books the owner's
namo will bo written In pencil, nlong with
a description nnd the valuation of tho
property. Tho Intention Is then to tnko
theso lllcd records to tho ollleo of tho
recorder of deeds ofllco boforo the making
of another assessment nnd make corrections
In tho nnmes of proporty owners.
A thorough system for thn compiling ot
tax records haK been devised by Mr. IMtz
gcrald and tho records aro In cxcellcir
shape.
In speaking of his work yesterday Mr.
Kltzgerald said that tho tax commissioner
should bo provided with an ofllco, ns tho
city treasurer htiR no room to spare. This
brings up tho question of moro room for
all of tho city offices. At present, tho
treasurer Is crowded for room and so Is tho
city clerk. It. Is the same with tho en
gineer and tho numerous Inspectors.
Ono plan suggested Is thnt thn city rent
tho rooms nbovo tho city offices and thus
provldo room for nil of the city ofTlclnls
undor ono roof. Now tho city Is paying
tent for tho mnyor's ofllco and the rooms
occupied by thn city attorney. This out
side rent would go. It is stated, itulto a
ways toward paying tho amount required
for tho rooms mentioned. Thon again there
would bo plenty of room for n council com
mittee room nud every ofTlclnl of tho city
would havo quarters in tho same building
Instead of hclng scnttered as at present.
This question will doubtless bo seriously
considered by the council beforo long.
