A few days It berran to dawn upon the Major that nil was not going well upon this side of file bay that having had the local squabble referred to tit! there was a very strong disinclination to accept the decision. He has been sending emissaries to Oakland to try and keep the quarreling factions In line, but with indifferent rueeess. "We are going to adopt our own Individual call for Congressional primaries and a convention to-morrow," said Charles Mau-talen, the Chairman of the County Committee.

"Wo may, if tho committee thinks it advisable. They have put everything In our hands, and I really cannot tell what the committee will do. We will go Into the meeting without a caucus, that Is certain." Aliiuicilii' OAKLAND, July 31. The Alameda County Exposition Will bo one of the biggest affairs of the kind ever held In Oakland.

Excitement Concerning Them Revived by a Suit for Damages for Assault. Samuel Demente, who was ejected from a car on Market street last May, while Ylnlng's transfer order was In force, has brought suit against the Market-street Hallway Company for damages for the assault, and the rase has been partially heard by Justice ot the Pence Parry. Demente attended a meeting at Garibaldi Hall on the evening nf May IKih, and at 1). o'clock got on a Clay-street car. He was transferred to Powell Street, and on the Pow-eU-street car got another ticket, which he supposed as a transfer to a Hayes-street car.

He-was bound for bis homo In Hayes Valley. He got on a Hayes-street car at Powell and Maeket. When nesr Sixth the conductor asked for the transfer. Demente, who does not speak English well and who did not know that he had to exchange his ticket for another at the Powell-street terminus, offered the bit of pasteboard he had. The conductor would not accept, it.

He was thrown off the car after a struggle, and then Policeman John Galloway arrested him for Using vti'ar language. The crowd on tho street biased the policeman, and cried, "Let him alone. He has a right to ride." Galloway, however, took Demente to jail, where ne remained tor twenty-seven hours. Then the charge wns dismissed. Demente is a bootblack and has five children in his family.

His lawyer has not paid much attention to Demento's case, ned as he wns unable to swear that the conductor ejected him, he may lose his suit, the complaint being slmp'y on the ground of assault. Justice Harry remarked that Demente bad a clear right to ride on the transfer given to him in the Powell-street car, without making any exchange, and that if he should bring another action on that ground he ould probably win. jp IEp5IO5.

Alameda County Bureau "The Examiner," 914 Broadway, Oakland. OAKLAND, July 31. Two thieves went through the Nlles canyon last night. Inci dentally they stopped at every camp and every tent on the way. This morning the 500 campers held a mass meeting, and when all had emptied their pockets they found they had Just enough money to send one man to Oakland to seek relief.

The operations began at the Sunol end of the canyon at midnight. One by one the tents were visited. Sleeping campers lulled Into peaceful dreams by the soft zephyrs of the canyon and the fond belief that the only danger that threatened them was the probability of a Southern Pacific train tumbling Into their camp, fell an easy prey. Tents were emptied of every portable valuable In a most careful and painstaking wi5y. Money, Jewelry and anything that as small and had a cash value as appropriated.

Only once ws the slumber of one of the campers disturbed, and then the men were so conscience smitten that they let that tent go and continued their work in the next. The robbers reached Camp Mayborg about 3 o'clock In the morning. They tried the tent of W. D. Smith, the cashier of the Oakland Gaslight and Heat Company.

Hardenburg's tent was entered, but there the occupants were disturbed, and this tent was omitted from the general haul. The men went, right down the canyon to Niles, and this morning ihcre was consternation along the entire line when the campers awoke. PRAISES THE LEADERS. The Iroquois Passes Resolutions Indorsing W.
