i : THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 1895. AN MIGUEL'S SHAKE, A Navigator’s Report of the Earthquakes on the Isle. CHANGES IN SHORE LINE. The Earth Has Been in Almost Constant Motion for a Fortnight. FIRST AUTHENTIC - REPORT. No Visitors Have Been to the Island Since the Beginning of the Seismic Trouble. SANTA BARBARA, March 23.—The sloop Liberty arrived from San Miguel Island this morning and Captain Dally re- ports that the seismic convulsons, dating back to the 7th inst., and to which such wide notice has been given, still continue, apparently not decreasing in intensity. Changes are continually taking place in the configuration of the island and there isa steady upheaval of the ocean’s bed along the shore. As the captain expresses it, “‘the earth all the while dancing a double-reefed jig.” Navigation in the region of the island is becoming a perilous undertaking, for rocks are rising from the harbor-bed and the soundings are constantly changing. The captain, who is the master of the only boat that sails to and fro be- tween the island and the mainland, and who is an experienced and fear- less sailor, declares that he could not be induced to run into Cayler’s harbor, the island’s only port, at night, for when he standsout he wants to know where he is going, and with these changes so rapidly taking place he is likely to run his boat on a rock at any moment. The shore line of the harbor has advanced a hundred feet since his last trip. A curious feature of the convulsions is that no disturbances of any kind are re- ported at any of the great islands in the vicinity, one of which is separated from Ban Miguel only by a narrow stretch of water. San Miguel Island is about nine or ten miles long and some three or four miles wide, comprising about 14,000 acres. It is owned by Captain Waters, who was for many years connected with the staff of the CarL. The island is given over to 1z purposes, being stocked with sheep v E. W. Gaty, proprietor of the Arlington Hotel, who sets as general manager of this ocean stock ranch. The resident population of the island s only of Captain Waters, his house- keeper and her husband and the men em- ployed in herding sheep. On the end of the island opposite the ranch house there is a camp of otter hunters headed by Cap- tain Ellis, a Santa Barbara man. San Miguel is noted above all the other channel islands for its delightful climate. It was Cabrillo’s favorite resort, and some- where along its lonely but beautiful mesas lies the forgotten grave of the great ex- plorer. Alfred Poett, the well-known civil en- gineer, to-day received a telegram from Professor George P. Davidson, chief of the Coast Survey, asking him to make in- quiries as to the truth of the re- cent reports concerning the upheaval atthe island and to report to him, promising that if the result confirmed the reports he would send down a boat to determine the changes that have taken place in the harbor. ~ Mr. Poett called upon Mr. Gaty, the manager of the island, who told him that while seismic disturb- ances had taken place along the island’s shore line the account of an alleged witness, furnished to a San Francisco morning paper,was untrue from beginning to end, as no correspondent had set foot on the island since these reports came, SANTA ROSA LOTTERIES. CHECKING THE SCHEMES OF MER- CHANTS TO OBTAIN BUSI- NESS. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ORDERS THE POLICE To ENFORCE THE Law. NTA ROSA, March 23.—District At- torney Seawell brought the lottery and raffling business, which has been thriving here to a considerable extent lately, to an abrupt end to-day. Some of the clothing merchants have Been sclling envelopes containing tickets which gave the purchaser a chance in the semi-weekly drawing for a suit of clothes, coat and vest and pair of tronsers. Many suits have been raffled off this way, and other merchants and tailors were in dan- ger of having serious inroads made in their business. So omne merchant complained to the Dis- trict Attorney, who, after looking up the law, advised the police to arrest every per- son selling -tickets or in any WAy promot- ing a lottery or raffle. This brought this mode of business to a very sudden ter- mination. The same methods have been carried on extensively in other parts of the county. SANTA ROSA CHURCH ROW. Presbyterians Disagree as to the Qualifi- cations of a Pastor. SANTA ROSA, March 23.—There are lively times at the First Presbyterian Church in this city in regard to the pas- torate of Rev. John Reid Jr., who came here about a year ago from the Northwest. The trouble began to brew a few weeks ago and the storm culminated at a large congregational meeting at the church last night, when the question whether to keep or part with Mr. Reid’s services was de- cided by a very close vote. For some time there has been dissatis- faction among some of the elements of the church. Rev. Mr. Reid is a vigorous preacher, and when he hits he strikes from the shouldér. He has pronounced views on dancing, card-playing and other mat- ters, and has taken off the oratorical gloves every time he described the evils which re- sult from these amusements. In so doing, it is claimed by some of Reid’s friends, he has greatly displeased some of the wealth- iest members of the congregation, and the difference was soon seen in the contents of the Sabbath contribution-box. Some time ago the elders were notified that, owing to the hard times and the dissatisfaction, it would be best for Reid and the church if he would sever his connection with it. Reid asked the elders to specify the charges, if they had any. This they have not done. Matters came to a focus Friday night, when both factions were well repre- sented. Rev. Mr. Whiting acted as mod- erator, and the deliberations were very an- imated. A motion was put that Reid be installed as pastor. The vote showed a majority of ten in favor of retaining Reid. Some of the members of the opposing fac- tion favored accepting the result of the vote, but one of the elders gave notice that he would appeal to the presbytery. ‘When that meets it is probable that the majority and minority factions will be rep- resented. An unpleasant feeling exists in the church over the imbroglio. ' GRUMBLING AT LEGISLATORS. Faiture of Representatives at Sacramento to Secure a Library Law. SANTA ROSA, March 23.—Consider- able dissatisfaction is expressed here over the neglect of the Sonoma County legis- lators to effect the passage of a number of bills wanted by the people at the recent session of the Legislature. One of the bills, which seemed to have the indorse- ment of mariy and which was allowed to die on the file, was one in regard to giving the Santa Rosa Library Trustees authority to fix the tax levy for the support of the Public Library. As it is, the Council fixes the rate and that body has refused to make a levy which the Trustees would consider reasonable. In explanation of the defeat of the bill to-day President Davis of the Library Board said he understood that County Superintendent Davis and others had succeeded in persuading the Sonoma County Senator that the people were op- posed to the bill. The Council has made a tax rate so low that no new books can be bought for a year. el Arizona’s Legislature Denounced. PH(ENIX, Ariz., March 22.—Speaker Carpenter arbitrarily adjourned the As- sembly at 12:30 o'clock Friday morning, preventing passage of appropriation bills. The Legislature, certain members ex- cepted, is condemned by the public. Charges of corruption were made by Goan- cilman Davis, who named the Southern Pacific’s lobbyists as the corrupters. UNITED CALL FOR PEACE. BOTH FACTIONS IN PERU SIGN A MANIFESTO ISSUED TO THE PUBLIC. PATRIOTISM APPEALED T0 IN ORDER THAT LAwW AND ORDER MAY PREVAIL. NEW YORK, March 23.—A dispatch from Lima, Peru, says: The Provisional Government has been recognized by Pedro Azola, who was the legal First Vice-Presi- dent under President Bermudez. The troops of €aceres are still under arms and are marching to the positions assigned them under the agreement for an armistice. The Caceres adherents in Callao have not yet submitted, but there is no disturbance there. The wife and daughters of Caceres took refuge in the British legation. They will probably be escorted to Callao by a British guard, and will then be placed on board a British man-of-wa 2 The Provisional Government has issued this manifesto: Called upon when patriotism forbids hesita- tion, we have accepted our mission, con-| vinced that we have only to respect the rights of all with frankness and self-denial. We assume that the object of the Provisional Government is peace, conciliation and princi- pelly to re-establish the public confidence in the authorities and maintain peace and order in the meantime. The constitution and laws in force are such asshould govern a republie, but to realize the purpose of the Provisional Government we re- quire the assistance of all. We implore all na- tives and foreigners to assist us, The terrible events which have occurred in Lima and the solemnity of the moment merit our best efforts to insure peace and order and justify us in the belief that every citizen will uphold and help us in the work of reparation. We commence our task trusting to merit sup- port in realizing reforms which shortly will be offered the nation. The manifesto is signed by Manuel Can- damo, Ricardo Espenieza, Luis Felipe Villaran, Enrique Bustamente y Salar, Elias Malpartida, as representatives of the Provisional Government and the junta representing both factions in Peru. e AN AGED EMBEZZLER. For Eight Years a Boston Bookkeeper . Kept Up His Stealing. BOSTON, Mass., March 23.—Sydney W. Sprague, 44 years old, was arrested last night, charged with embezzling between $25,000 and $30,000 in money from the Freeland Loom and Clothing Company in this city. Sprague has been in the corporation’s employ twenty-three years as clerk and cashier. By clever manipulation of the accounts, it is alleged, Spragne has been taking $100 and $200 at a time for the last eight years. Last Tuesday, when the amount of the defalcation was known, he was charged with the crime and madea partial confession and refunded $5200. e LOST HER PROPELLERL. The Steamer Greetlands Disabled off the Coast of Florida. NEW YORK, March 23.—A special dis- patch to a morning paper irom Jackson- ville, Fla., says: The British ship Greet- lands, of Quebec, lies four miles south of St. Jobns bar with her propeller gone. Captain Couellard reports that at 12:40 o'clock on the morning of the 16th inst., in latitude 24 deg. 40 min., longitude 80 deg., the steamer broke her shaff and the screw was lost. Sail was made and she finally reached 8t. Johns Bay. Rhe has a general cargo for the Munson line of New York for Cardenas, and left New York March 9. e General Cook Buried.

CHICAGO, March 23.—Evan Lewis, “The Strangler,” and Martin Burns, bet- ter known as “Farmer Burns,” have signed -articles to wrestle in this ¢ity on April 20 for $1000 a side. FATAL DENVER FIRE The St. James Hotel Floor. Falls With Human Beings. FOUR PEOPLE ARE DEAD. Their Bodies Have Been Recov- ered but Only Three Could Be ldentified. OTHERS ARE STILL MISSING. The Blaze Started About Midnight and Made Quick Work of the Building. DENVER, March 23.—The St. James Hotel, at Curtis and Sixteenth streets, one of the finest in the city, is burning. The fire broke out in the basement shortly be- fore midnight, and soon after the floor of the rotunda collapsed, letting the flames and smoke into the office and corridors, The firemen seem to have the fire under control, although it is burning stubbornly. The loss has already reached $40,000, and unless the fire is soon extinguished will greatly exceed that amount. The fire started in a room used to store oldibageage, directly under the central rotunda of the house. While the fire was at its height the floor sank without warn- ing, throwing several men into the pit of dense smoke below, al least two of whom are dead. After the flames had been extingunished there the body of Captain Harold W. Hartwell of hose 3 was found frightfully burned. One other bedy, too badly burned to be identified, was also found. Three other ~n were dragged out unconscious and are at the hoespital, where they may die. It is suspected that there are still other bodies in the debris. At 1:15 A, M. two more bodies have been found, in addition to that of Captain Hart- well. Neither has yet been identified. * It is thought that two or three more bodies are still in the ruins. At 1:45 A. M. four bodies had been taken out, as follows: Harold W. Hartwell, captain of Hose 3. Richard Danbridge, pipeman. Steven Marshall, pipeman, and one un- known. There is one other body in the ruins, probably another pipeman. HELD UP IN COLURADD EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS SE- CURED FBOM A CRIPPLE CREEK TRAIN. THE MaiL AND EXPREss CAR ENTERED BY THE GANG OF HIGHWAYMEN. Sl FLORENCE, Colo.,, March 23.—At 10 o’clock to-night, shortly after train 6 on the Florence and Cripple Creek road left Victor, a man who had boarded the blind baggage crawled over the tender into the engine and compelled the engineer and fireman, at the point of a revolver, to stop the train at a point one mile from Victor station. One other robber then went through the passengers on the sleeper, securing about $800 in money and several watches. ‘While this was going on four or five other robbers who were in waiting at the point who were in waiting st the point where the train was stopped, went to work on the mail and express car, soon forcing anentrance, but so far as learned secured nothing from the mail or express cars of any value. s KILLED SIX MEN. Phil Hefley Met Death When He Encoun- . tered the Seventh. DENVER, March 23.—A News special from Santa Fe, N. Mex., says: Phil Hefley killed Ben Holman at Lordsburg in Janu- ary without provocation and without giv- ing his victim a chance to defend himself. He was acquitted by a Justice of the Peace and has since been playing the part of town-terror, making many threats. ‘W. B. Conner forbade him to come to his house to see his daughter and he stated this week that he would kill Conner. The latter armed himself and by chance met Hefley. Hefley shot at Conner with his six-shooter. Conner returned the fire. Hefley shot again and Conner then shot twice and Hefley dropped dead. The Coro- ner’s jury brought in a verdict that Conner was justified in shooting and he has been released. Holman was the sixth man Hefley had killed and none had any chance to defend themselves. e MANAGERS TO MFEET. Railroad Men Will Discuss the Regula- tion of New Freight Schedules. CHICAGO, March 23.—On Monday the presidents and general managérs of the roads interested in the Western Trunk line pool will hold a meeting here and discuss the question of a division of freight. The Burlington, Missouri Pacific and some others have repeatedly been compelled to turn over freight to their competitors and to do so while their own earnings were showing a marked decrease. They have objected to the existing scale of division and will ask that it be reduced. The weaker lines have naturally strong objec- tions to any such proceeding and desire the percentages to be kept as they are. LSS TT Counterfeiting With Genuine Silver, BALTIMORE, March 23, —The finest counterfeit quarter-dollar ever made was discovered to-day. It is of the series of 1893 and. is composed largely of silver. Only the most adroit expert can detect it from the genuine coin, and it is believed to have been circulated in large quantities, This is one of the rare instances in which nearly all silver has been used in counter- feiting. The metal is now so cheap that counterfeits of the legal weight can’ be made at a handsome profit. . A Michigan Town Burned. TRAVERS CITY, Mich., March 23.—The village of Fife Lake, two miles south of this city, was visited by a conflagration to- day which wiped out nearly all the busi- ness portion of the town. The total loss is about $30,000; insurance not more than $6000. An Heir to Millions. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 23.—E. F, Coffin, telegraph operator at Glidden sta- tion, east of here, on the Southern Pacific, has received a letter from an attorney of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, stating that his uncle, who lived in that country, had died, leaving an estate of $10,000,000. There are four heirs to the wealth. - Mr. Coffin is one of them and he will receive a fourth part of the fortune. SO o AFRAID OF A STRIKE. Rhode Island Mercnants Do Not Want Re- newal of Old Trouble. PROVIDENCE, R. I, March 23.—Al though there has been no ne develop- ment to-day in the strained indnx.rinl situa- tion between the mill operatives at Olney- ville and their employers the public fear of a general strike has not lessened. The business men of the district have not yet taken formal action, yet they have discussed the advisability of doing some- thing to prevent the repetition of the great strike of 1893. The storekeepers have not yet recovered from the effects of that strike and they declare if the threatened strike occurs they must abandon business, as they would be unable to trust strikers for supplies. The striking operatives of the Atlantic Mills are to hold a meeting to-morrow to discuss the troubles, and in a few days a mass-meeting of all the operatives in the Pawtucket Valley will be held. At the latter meeting a committee will be ap- pointed to ask the agents of the mills for a restoration of the wage list in force be- fore the 15 cent reduction that precipitated the strike of 1893. ARMOUR WILL SHIP FRUIT. THE PORK-PACKER INTENDS TO TRANSPORT CALIFORNIA PRroDUCTS. HE MAKES ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE S. P. FOR SPECIAL CAR- LoaD Loius. CHICAGO, March 23.—P. D. Armour & Co. contemplate a considerable expansion of the fruit transportation trade between Califernia and Eastern points, in which they have been to some extent engaged for thelastfew years., They have made an arrangement with the Southern Pacific by which about 400 or 500 cars will ultimately be bronght into use for this purpose. The cars will combine all the latest improve- ments that are necessary for the double purpose of meeting the needs of orange and lemon transportation in winter and the deciduoug fruit trade in summer. During a recent visit to California M. B. Robbins, traveling agent for Armour & Co., became aware of the growing possibilities of the deciduous fruit trade in that State and the consequent need of transportation facilities. At this time there is an excep- tionally lively trade in California owing to the failure of crops in Florida. The ex- pediency of adapting the new line of transportation to both branches of the fruit trade was therefore apparent. The consumption east of the Rocky Mountains is growing yearly, but one of the great drawbacks has been a lack of transportation facilities—not in the num- ber of cars, but in the character of their construction and adaptability to the uses to which they are put. Fruit is better packed on the Pacific Coast than anywhere else in this country, special pains being taken to please the eye, and with the new cars’ some marvelous things in this line may be looked for. The first contract for the construction of the number of cgqrs required is in course of fulfillment. pibaggy A THE LIE IS PASSED. Missouri Legislators Forget Their Call- ing and Indulge in Personalities. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 23.— The House came near closing the session with a set-to between Spencer of St. Louis and Davidson of Marion, one a Republican, the other a Democrat. They engaged in wordy altercation over a resolution to ad- journ at 3 o’clock to-day. Spencer insinuated that Davidson was a liar. “You contemptible hound,” said Davii- son, pointing his finger at Spencer, “you know you are lying. Oh, you may open your mouth.” Spencer was at a white heat, and the sergeant-at-arms and a half dozen mem- bers ran across the House to preventan encounter. After the objectionable words had been taken down, oil was poured on the troubled waters, and the words were re- tracted and peace again reigned. . SRR BUITER FROM WHEY. An Important Discovery Said to Have Been Made at Cornell. ITHACA, N. Y., March 23.—The agri- cultural department at Cornell claims to have made an important discovery, which will prove of great economic value to farmers. It is found butter fat can be extracted from whey by running it through a separator. The department now has in press a bulletin explaining the process. It is estimated that the process would save the agriculturist of New York State nearly $1,000,000 a year, or, to put it in an- other way, the entire expense of making cheese would be paid by the saving of what has heretofore been a waste. ——mngara TALK FOR DEBS. An Extension of Time Asked For by Attorneys on Argument. WASHINGTON, March 23.—Attorney Gregory of Chicago, one of Debs’ counsel in the case now before the Snpreme Court, and Edwin Walker, special counsel for the Government, called at the Department of Justice to-day. Gregory sought Attorney- General Olney’s consent to increasing from four to six hours the time allowed each side in the Debs argument, to begin Mon- day. The Attorney-General, it is thought, will not ask the court to make an exten- sion, but will not object. e Montana Land Selections Approved. ‘WABHINGTON, March 28.—Secretary Smith to-day approved the selection of Montana for State institutions under its enabling act as follows: Agricultural College, 10,987 acres; Deaf and Dumb Asylum, 13,940 acres; School of Mines, 22,205 acres: Reform School, 4528 acres. The lands are all in the Missoula Land District. The Secretary also appropriated for pat- ent 41,932 acres of land in the indemnity limits of the Northern Pacific grant. The lands are in the Chehalis and Vancouver districts; also 160 acres in the Marshall Land District to the St. Paul and Sioux City Company. i e Prominent People Dead. NEW YORK, March 23.—John Koster of Koster, Bial & Co., music hall proprietors, died to-day, aged 51. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 23.—Charles L. Fuller, one of the most extensively known Masons in the State, died to-day. BERLIN, March 23.—Captain Cleve Simms, formerly a professor at the West Point Military” Academy, and who has since been residing in Berlin, died during the week of softening of the brain, - VALLEY ROAD LEASE Continued from First Page. prise,” continued Mayor Sutro, “but I think such a clause should be inserted. I have not given anything toward the fur- therance of the object, but—"" “Why, see here, Mayor, a man told me you had given enough of the air of San Francisco to stop the brakes,” interposed* the Governor, laughingly. “I have not given anything, either, because I was short on the financial question, but maybe we’ll get a present of a block of stock.” J. D. Spreckels explained that an agree- ment had been perfected wh ereby all the stock will be held by the trustees of the road. “But that is only for the space of ten years, and I want that arrangement to last for all time,” continued the Mayor. “I am not here to oppose the Central Pacific nor to specially favor the San Joaquin; but it is a matter of fact that the people of this city and State have suffered terribly from the monopoly of the Southern Pa- cific. It has ruled us with a hand of iron, and I propose, as a matter of fair- ness and justice to the community at large, to have a clause- inserted that will entirely do away with any chance of that |’ monopoly ever gaining any influence over this enterprise.’” “It never will,” tersely interjected Mr. Spreckels. “You certainly cannot think that I would devoft the amount of time and money which I have done to the for- warding of any scheme for tke benefit of that corporation? I promise that this road shall be conducted in the interests of the people of the State.” The Governor then questioned each member of the Board of Harbor Commis- sioners individually as to his opinion of the lease, and each one stated that he had not a single objection to offer, and was willing to sign the lease then and there. Cole added that it was a grand thing; a competing road had always been needed. “That is all I want to know,” said Goy- ernor Budd. Attorney Preston stated that he wished to call the Governor’s attention to the fact that the word “competing” had no legal meaning and would only result in endless litigation if any contest of the lease should occur. There was a clause in the docu- ment stating that the lease shall not be assigned, which will fully satisfy all the objections which might be entertained by Mayor Sutro. “I arh fully satisfied,” said Governor Budd, in conclusion, *‘that these gentie- men are acting in good faith, and have not tied up their capital for ten years with any ulterior purpose. To-night I shall study this lease. Ihave no desire to lease these terminal facilities to any other company than the San Joaquin Valley Railroad, and I do not want to sign any lease that can be construed to give this property to any other line. The articles shall be thoroughly gone over and what necessary amendments I deem proper will be pre- pared by the end of next week, when I will hold a conference in San Francisco with the parties interested and with the Board of Harbor Commissioners.” NoO The Board of Examiners Regulating State Institutions’ Expenses. SACRAMENTO, March 23.— All the various State institutions will receive an official notice Monday from the State Board of Examinérs that from this time forward all bills for luxuries—such as crabs, frozen oysters, French peas, turkey, chicken, quail, shrimps, broilers, olives and other sundries—will not be paid for out of the State’s exchequer, and that the board had passed the following resolution : Resolved, That the supplies and provisions furnished by the State to the officers and em- ployes of State institutions are the supplies and provisions purchased on contract for the inmates of such institutions, and no bills for any other supplies and provisions will be al- lowed by this bill. The contingent funds of State institutions cannot be used for the pur- chase of supplies and provisions for the use of officers, employes or inmates of such in- stitutions. All bills must be marked showing what items have been purchased on contract and what not on contract, and explanations should be made on all bills that on their face do not clearly show for what purpose they were incurred. The Board of Examiners fail to discover any law that compels the State to pay the bills for table luxaries of resident officials of any institution, and deem a salary of $3500 per annum, with the perquisites of house rent, servants and supplies thrown n, is simply sufficient remuneration. This' resolution will result in considerable isaving to the State. During the month of January the official in charge of one institution presented a bill of $166 in excessof what was allowed. This amount was for luxuries of this nature that he had purchased for his per- sonal table to enable him to feast his friends and the trustees of that institution when they appeared to make official ex- aminations, The bill allowing.the Board of Exami- ners to cut down appropriation bills is found to be void, owing to the fact that it does mnot ‘specify that power in the title.

JOHN MCNULTA REMAINS IN | CHARGE OF THE WHISKY | TRUST'S AFFAIRS. L LAWRENCE AND MITCHELL ARE OUT OF THE DEAL BY RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL. CHICAGO, March 23.—The three re- | ceivers of the whisky trust presented their resignations to Federal Judge Grosscup to-day. There was nothing in the proceedings to | indicate any disagreement among the re- ceivers. Receivers Lawrence and Mitchell gave as reasons for resigning that their ! other business required all their time. | Mr. Mitchell suggested that two receivers were enough. General John McNulta was continued by Judge Grosscup as the sole Teceiver. The Judge said: “Tifese resignations were tendered because it was thought the business of the receivership had reached such a stage that one man could conduct it without any difficulty. There has been no trouble between this court and the re- ceivers.” The question of the compensation of the two retiring receivers will be considered by the Judge on his return from Califor- nia, where he is going on a brief vacation. General McNulta has in reality had con- trol since the receivers had charge. Judge Grosscup appointed him as the court's direct representative and receiver-in-chief. Lawrence was named as the representative of the Greenhut management and Mitchell as the representative of the stockholders. In financial circles it was the general be- lief that, despite assertions to the con- trary, the resignations were the result of a merry war between the three men. It was asserted that to-day’s court proceed- | ings were arranged solely for the purpose of letting Receiver Lawrence *‘down easy,” and his resignation was not wholly vol- The Governor says that items can be cut down, but not appropriations. ERRORS IN BILLS. Slipshod Work in the Legislature Will Kill Several Measures. SACRAMENTO, March 23.—Governor Budd has discovered that in both the Sen- and and the Assembly during the confu- sion incident to the last days of the session many bills were rushed through without careful preparation and proper attention having been paid te titles. Hence, he will be obliged to pocket several bills. They violate section 34 of article 1V of the State constitution, which reads as follows: No bill making an appropriation of money, except the general appropriation bill, shall contain more than one item of appropriation, and that for one single and certain purpose, 1o be therein expressed. Among the misfit titles is that of Assem- bly bill 187, appropriating money for build- ings and improvements for the Southern California State Asylum for Insane and Inebriates. The bill contains five distinct and separate appropriations—one for build- ings, one for furniture, one for sewerage, etc. Under the constitution the Governor will be obliged to pocket this bill. There are several other bills.in the same condi- tion. The bill appropriating money for a Normal School in San Diego carries an ap- propriation, but there is no appropriation expressed in the title. UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION. Governor Budd Signs the Measure Which Provides for New Buildings. . SACRAMENTO, March 23.—Senator Biggy appeared as an advocate for Assem- bly bill 6 before Governor Budd this morn- ing and succeeded in securing its passage. The bill was Biggy’s pet measure and he sacrificed the bill calling for an appropria- tion to erect a State building in San Fran- cisco to secure its signature. The bill was framed by one of the Regents untary.

The Jesuit Priest and Former Lawyer Sueccumbs in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, March 23.—Father 8. P, Latumier, aged 73, one of the most dis- tinguished of Western Jesuits, died of Bright's disease in his room at St. Xavier's College to-day. The aged priest is best known in Cincinnati as the spiritnal ad- viser of the inmates of the jail. For over twenty-five years he labored in Milwaukee, and to his indomitable spirit that city is indebted for St. Gall’s Church and Marquette College., The latter institu- tion is the largest Catholic college in the Northwest. In earlier life he practiced law at Springfield, Ill. Abraham Lincoln prepared the brief for Father Latumier in the first case he ever had. Father Latu- mier preserved the document until a few years ago, when it was accidentally de- stroyed. - SENTENCED FOR LIFE. 4 Claim of Sex Right Cut No Figure in Ilinois.
