2 SALARIESIN COUNTIES, The Completed Schedule in the-Proposed New Law. DECISION OF ASSEMBLY. An Increase of Pay in Some Offices and Reductions in Others. BLEDSOE WANTS REDUCTIONS. The House Refuses to Adopt His Amendments Relating to Hum- boldt County. | 3 ' | SacramryTo, March 5.—Work was com- | pleted on the county government bill this afternoon. When the county government bill was taken up this morning there was no lack | of amendments, but none occasioned any debate till the sections fixing the salaries | of Humboldt County officials were reached. | Then Bledsoe stood up and fired nmend-!‘ | ments at the eclerk. The salary of every official would have been lowered if he could have had his way. As each amend- | ment would go up he would assert posi- | tively that the people of his county wanted | that particular salary lowered, and he | recommended drops ranging from $200 to | $600 a year. | As regularly Assemblyman Ju]mson,‘ also of Humboldt, would announce that the people thought the officer was earning | the full amount allowed him, and the House would kill the amefidment. Bledsoe, nevertheless, had the satisfac- tion of trying to have the salaries cut. Swisler of El Dorado had an amendment | to trammel somewhat the power or Su- pervisors in making game laws. Accord- ing to Thomas' amendment adopted yes- terday the Supervisors would be enabled to alter the laws to suit themselves. Mr. | Swisler’s amendment provides that they cannot extend the open season of any cl: of game. # Au attempt was made to make the cities assist in bearing the burdens of road-build- ing. An amendment with that idea in view failed to be adopted. As a result the | cigies are to be exempted from roadtax. Among the smaller counties there has | been little or no reduction in the salaries of county officials. Among the larger | ties the changes are marked, there be- g an increase in some offices and reduc- tions in others. The eda delegation was the last to submit i They were exactly as reported in the CALL two days ago. The tronble was over the time when the reduc- tion of the Assessor’s salary was to go into effect. It was decided to allow him to re- tain his present force of deputies for a year in order that he might redeem his ante- election pledges to reassess the entire county. All other changes go into effect upon the passage of the bill. The salaries of San Franci are not included charter. The = ties as finall, are as follows: s officials as they are fixed by her ries in the other coun- decided upon by the House THE SAN FRANCISCO CALI; WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1895. i two miles of any university having not less than 250 students. Brusie introduced a bill appiopriating $15,000 for the contingent expenses of the Assembly for the month of March, Huber of Los Angeles introduced a bill over a month ago providing fgr the estab- lishment of a cannery at the Whittier Re- form School, to give profitable employment to the boys and giils, and for otker im- provements. The bill went first to the Committee on Manufactures. There the cannery feature was stricken out. Then it went to the Ways and Means Committee, who ruthlessly slaughtered it without the author’s knowledge. It was too late to get in a substitute, so Huber prepared a new bill, and now wants $46,100 for the reform school, in place of the $63,- 150 asked for in the first place. The Senate bill doing away with Potter’s Home for the Inebriates was passed by a vote of 49 to 6. Ewing of San Francisco spoke at some length upon the bill and the necessity of a public hospital for irresponsible drinkers. “Is this to have any connection with Pot- ter’s home ?”” inquired Bachman of Fresno. ‘I assure you it has not. The new home will be entirely distinct,” was the response. This did not seem to satisfy the mem- bers. There was some hesitation. Then Powers, the chairman of the San Francisco delegation, asked: “Is Ewing’s explana- tion satisfactory ?”” It evidently was not. and Bachman at once arose to inquire, when Powers explained: ‘“The purpose of the bill is to abolish Potter's home.” “Then I am with you,” exclaimed Bach- man. Of the six votes in the negative only one was cast by a San Franciscan, J.J. Wilkin- son of the Thirty-figst District. The bill that had passed the Senate known as the Conlin claim, directing the San Francisco Supervisors to pay John J. Conlin §61,577, an old street-contracting claim, was refused passage by a vote of 35 noes to 19 ayes. Senate bills were passed as follow: Providing for the removal of remain than 5000. Amending the law governing cities of th sixth class. Amending the law relating to reports on | estates. Amending the law relating to letters of ad- ministration. from | cemeteries in cities having & population of less | Providing against the aduiteration of food | and drugs.

Appropriating $3000 to pay the expenses of the State suits for the thirty-fifth to the fortieth fiscal years, inclusive. Appropriating $275,000 to pay coyote scalp claims (refused passage yesterday). The bill allowing the Controller an extra clerk to'be known as revenue clerk was called up out of its order and passed. The place is made necessary by the passage * the Chico of the bill authorizing the State to buy | lands sold for delinquent taxes. It was not till nearly time for the after- noon recess that bill 653 came up. This is the measure to prevent the Police Com- missioners from holding offices for life. The Assembly favors its passage, but wants to be able to consider it carefully.

GREAT SECRECY MAINTAINED. Without Delay the Liberated Woman WIill Occupy Palatial Quarters at Paris. New York, March 5.--Judge Barrett has granted an absolute divorce to Mrs. Alva E. Vanderbilt from William K. Vanderbilt. The utmost secrecy was maintained in the action, and as all the papers were sealed it was impossible to secure any de- tails of the case. Mrs. Vanderbilt will, it is reported, leave her present residence, and will hereafter live at her Newport houses or in the hand- some residence which is said to have re- cently been purchased by her in this city. She will leave with her children for Eu- rope about the middle of March. It is understood that the settlement upon Mrs. Vanderbilt includes the marble pal- ace at Newport, the residence on Fity- second street and Fifth avenue, and money and securities that will make her | income $300,000 a year. Mrs. Vanderbilt's sister isthe former wife of Ferdinand Yznaga, whose present wife returned to the United States last month to secure a divorce. The ‘“woman in the case” is Nellie Nenstretter,one of the most beautiful queens of the Parisian Mr. Vanderbilt is alleged to have given her all his.winnings at the st Grand Prix de Paris. At present Mr. Vanderbilt is cruising on board his yacht Valiant in the Mediterranean with a party of friends. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her friends have made all their arrangements for sailing for Europe, having planned to occupy palatial quarters at Paris. It is sad that the break between Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt came at the close of the | yachting trip on the Valiant last summer, Quring which it is alleged Mrs. Vanderbilt was subjected to indignities in the presence of their friends that made it impossible to longer defer action. It is alleged Vander- bilt's relations with Mile. Neustretter were openly paraded by him with the purpose of forcing his wife to take cognizance of them. Vanderbilt’s friends assert that prior to this yachting trip his behavior toward Mrs. Vanderbilt had been considerate and that he conducted himself in an exemplary They assert he had no affection Though the fact had been known for some months that the Vanderbilts were agreed upon the general provosition of divoree it was not known by the public until the decree had been granted to-day that the proceedings had been begun.

THE BILL ABOLISHING DR. POTTER'S “Ho Passks. ME SacmanENTo, March 4.—The Assembly | Committce on Waysand Means this morn. | ing reported on the resolution authorizing it to investigate the affairs of the Sunset Telephone, by recommending the passage of a constitutional amendment taking the assessing of telephone property out of the hands of county officers and giving it to the Board of Equalization. This method | is already in practice in regard to railroad | property and telegraph lines, * The total valuation of the telephone companies is apportioned by the proposed amendments amone the cities, counties and townships in proportion to the num- ber of telephone boxes located in each di- vision. The rules were suspended and the constitutional amendment read the first time. The rules were again suspended to allow the introduction of bills and five new meas- ures were placed on the files. Stansell of Butte wants it madea mis- demeanor punishable by a $500 fine and six months’ imprisonment to sell fruit which ‘‘has been produced, gathered or handled by aliens other than aliens who have declared their intentions to become citizens of the United States,” unless the packages in which the fruit is marketed shall have been distinctly marked as hav- ing been produced by such aliens. Meads of Santa Clara wants it to be made Belshaw of Contra Costa opposed the appropriation of $8111 15 to pay the claim of Major Pico. The House, however, had the bill read a second time. The second reading of the bill establish- ing a commission to rearrange the codes and advise the passage of necessary laws caused the discussion of the evening. Bledsoe of Humboldt and Belshaw of Contra Costa opposed thc measure. They | denounced it as an attempt to ‘‘do politics’ and make fat places for faithful friends. Hatfield of Sacramento and Powers of ‘San Francisco showed its value in striking out unnecessary laws and arranging prop- erly the remainder, so that definite in- formation could be readily obtained as to the laws. Spencer also spoke for the bill. The majority of the House decided to have the bill read a second time. An interesting row was precipitated by bill 210, providing for State and county veterinarians. A number of smendments were accepted. 2 Tieid moved to strike out section 19 of the bill, which gives the State veterinarian, he said, power to appointevery man in the State to a position and to buy everytning in the State. The amendment was carried, and then the bill was killed forever by being laid on the table with such a thud that its author did not venture to give notice of intention to reconsider. Reception to Senators at Portland. PorrLAND, March 5.—Senator John M. Thurston of Nebraska and Senator George W. McBride of Oregon were tendered an informal reception to-night by the Multnp- @ punishable offense to sell liquor within mah Republican Club. Vanderbilt met Miss Smith, who after- ward became his wife in 1878, when he was 29 years of age.

SHORT IN THER ACCOUNTS. Two OFFICERS OF THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY IN A BAD LIGHT. BIisHOP PETERKIN SAYS THE SECRE- TARY AND TREASURER SHOULD Be REMOVED. - New York, March 5.—There isa short- age in the accounts of the American Church Missionary Society, and the books of the society have been found to be in such confusion that the experts are not as yet in a position to make a detailed state- ment. The statement implicates Rev. William A. Newbold of Montclair, N. J., and the treasurer, Henry A. Oakley of New York City. The fact that their accounts were ina muddled condition was discovered about a niunth ago, and at once a special commit- tee was appointed to investigate the mat- ter. To-day a meecting of the executive committee of the society was held. The special committee presented its report, in which it was stated that a shortage had been found. The report itself the commit- tee refused to make public. Bishop Peterkin of West Virginia said to-hight relative to the action of the ex- ecutive committee: “The irregulanties are such as to war- rant the removal of the secretary and treasurer from office. The society’s ex- penditures are between $25,000 and $30,000 a year and the money is paid out mostly in small sums, making the auditing of the accounts extremely difficult. The society has not been entirely crippled by these irregularities, but they have extended over a period of five or six years. It is impossi- ble to make a detailed statement. I would not like to call it a defalcation, but I will say that hereafter the society would like to have its money handled in a different manner.” — - Anti-Cigarette Bill Passed. LixeoLy, Nebr., March 5.—The House to-. day passed the anti-cigarette bill. Omahs has been especially bitter in_this fight, but the churches have succeeded in influencing their members. Pue s Deatn of Charles Lanman, WasHINGTON, March 5.—Charles Lanman, the well-known author, artist and librarian, is dead. His death was the result of heart disease, from which he had long beena sulferer. PLANNING FOR PEACE, China and Japan Ready for the Coming Conference. LI'S POWER RESTORED. The Unlucky Viceroy I(JOW a Duly Accredited Envoy. ON THE WAY TO TIENTSIN. . Men of the Mikado Declare They W¢ll Not Block the Gulf of Pechili. LoxpoN, March 5.—Dispatches from Peking to the Times, which will be pub- lished to-morrow, confirm previous dis- patches outlining the success of Li Hung Chang at the Chinese capital. They say that after tedious telegraphing through the United States Minister, Charles Denby, the text of Li Hung Chang’s credentials as peace envoy have been accepted by Japan. Li Hung Chang was given an audience | by the Dowager Empress of China yester- | day in the presence of the Privy Council, | who heartily supported the mission upon which the Viceroy is engaged. Prince Kung, president of the Chinese Foreign Oftice, and uncle of the present | Emperor of China, silenced all opposition by presenting papers showing that the failure of the Chinese to repulse the Japan- ese was due to the backward policy for which they themselves were to blame, and exonerating Li Hung Chang, who spoke frankly about the condition of the em- pire. The powers of Li Hung Chang to nego- tiate for peace are believed to be complete, and, the actual commission being signed, he left Pekin to-day for Tientsin, where the Japanese require him to tranship for Hiroshima. John W. Foster, the American adviser of the Chinese, will join the Viceroy. Under the date of Tientsin to-day, the Times to-morrow will publish a dispatch saying that disturbances are increasing. One of the Chinese generals in the Shan Tung province was beheaded by his soldiers for attempting to suppress pillage. Similar troubles are reported at Hanan and Liao Yang, near Moukden, which is probably taken. Another dispatch to the Times, dated Shanghai to-day, says the Japanese de- clare positively that they do not intend to block the Gulf of Pechili. Seven rice steamers left to-day for Tientsin. Yokomaxa, March 5.—The captured Chi- nese warships have arrived here. The re- ports of the¥apanese commanders are fa- vorable to raising the sunken war vessels of China at Wei-hai-wei. The Japanesc aban- doned Shan Tung peninsula, including ‘Wei-hai-wei, after destroying the fortifica- tions. John Wilde, alias Howie, the American who planned to blow up the Japanese warshipsin a novel manner, and was eap- turéd at Wei-hai-wei after having been re- leased on parole, has been broughtto Japan for trial. Yokonama, March 5.—The Japanese third division occupied An Shong Cheng on the morning of March 2. The Chinese made no opposition. FRANCE AND HER ARMY. Subject of Debate in the Chamber of Deputies. Paris, March 5.—During the discussion of the army budget in the Chamber of Deputies to-day, M. Roche, representing the committee, said France tried to place her army upon a parity with those of otheér nations. But since 1887 the military ex- penditures of Germany had exceeded those of France. The German military doctrine was based on numerical strength, and Ger- many now possessed an army ready to tight at any moment. He maintained the superiority of the offensive system, when he was interrupted by an insulting remark from a Socialist member. An uproar followed, and some time elapsed befcre M. Roche was able tc proceed. He demanded that the French army should be as well organized as the German army, claiming the economizing of a few million francs might mean defeat in the event of war. M. Cavaignac, Minister of War, re- proached M. Roche for exaggerating the gravity of the situation, maintaining the French army only numbered about 50,000 less than the German army. The debate was then adjourned. GERMAN HUSBANDRY COUNCIL, Recommendations by Which Trade Condi- tions May Be Improved. Beruiy, March 5.—The German Hus- bandry Council opened here to-day. The Prussian Minister of Agriculture, Herr von Hammerstein, gave an address compli- menting fhe council upon the thorough manner in which it dealt with husbandry questions. Baron von Gotta offered a reso- lution demanding the refusal of the most favored nation treatment to countries out- side of Europe competing with Germany, the eventual establishment.of a customs union of the European husbandry States, an international settlement of the currency question and the immediate adoption of measures for raising the prices of cereals on the basis of Count von Kanitz’s motion ior a state monopoly of cereals. e e ELECTION RIOTS IN BRAZIL. No Ind to the Strife in That Disturbed Country. BueNos Avres, March 5.—Advices re- ceived here from Rio de Janeiro are to the effect that serious election riots have oc- curred in the State of Pernambuco. Senor Jose Marie, manager of the Journal la Provincia, was'killed. The commander of a regiment at San Pablo attempted to fo- ment a rising in favor of ex-President Peixoto, but the plot failed. The Govern- ment has issued orders for the arrest of the leaders, and they will be severely punished. > Heavy Snowfall in Prussia.

Shropshire, for years the trusted cashier | of the Central Railway of Georgia, was missing from his desk here this morning, and on it lay a note from him which read: “Good-by ; it's all over.” The officials at once began an investiga- tion of his accounts. Late this afternoon Shropshire was found in a room at the Metropolitan Hotel in an unconscious con- dition and died to-night. An empty mor- phine bottle told the story of his suicide.

WILHELMSHAVEN, March 5.—The Em- peror went from the Officers’ Club to the dockyard, where the ceremony of laying the keel of a new warship to replace the Pressuah, built in 1873 and now obsolete, took place in the presence of Vice-Admiral Holman and the other German admirals, the director of the dockyard and many other officials. His Majesty drove the first rivet into the keel plate. In address- ing the naval recruits his Majesty said: “My men, you have come here to take the oath of allegiance. “It was an old custom of our forefathers, and they held it a sacred duty to perform their oaths loyally. JustasI, your Em- peror and sovereign, devote my every effort and thought to the fatherland, so are you bound to give up your whole life for me. You have taken the oath as Christians, and true servants of God have spoken to you ina Christian spirit. On your war- flag you behold the eagle, the noblest bird in the universe.
