All the sections re- | lating to the Board of Election Commis- sioners were adopted, but only after a long discussion, The first clause to give trouble was the one which contained a statement that the hoard should fix the rate of compensation of clerical assistants. It was finally deemed a more economical plan to leave this to the Supervisors. Instead of dividing Assembly districts into precincts sufficient in number to make the number of votes polled at each 200, several members wanted the limit fixed at 400. Upon Chairman Dwyer's expianation that the intent of this small number was 10 cxpeuite the counting of vote-, thus obviaiing 0 many chances of corruption, the number was left at 2)0. The feature of the eveninz was an e est speech by George K. Fitch, in which be advocated cuiting the ci'y into six dis- tricts in the election of Supervisors in- stead of electing them at large on the ground that each disirict could know its own men better.

Managers Appointed and Plans Well Under Way for the Great Exposition. The executive ccmmittee of the Golden Jub lee Fair met last night at the Mechan- icy’ Institute. Mayor Prelan commenced the business of the meeting by stating that there was only one thing for the committee to do, and that was to make the fair a howling <uccess.

The jubilee celebration will commence on Jan- uary 24, and it will continue until the 29:h and close with the opening of the fuir Tirey L.

It was also proposed to have a miniature gravel mice in operation. A bauk of gold-bear- ing zravel will be taken to the Pavilion for the purvose and it will be washed by means of a small monitor. The d:fferent processes of working gold mines will be shown, ranging all the way from the use- iul and ancient yaa to the modern stamp- mitl, J. H. Gilmore was appointed superin- tendent of the fair. He reported that already he had received many applica- tions from manufacturers of mining ma- chinery tor space at the exhibition. E. H.

The po-ters are for circulation in the Eastern cities to advertise this pori as an outfitting point for intending Kondike gold-seekers as much as to advertise the fair. The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors heard a delegation from the Jubilee Committee yesterdav on the sub- ject of an appropriation of $3000, to assist in defraying the expanses of the celebra- tion.

Lawrence took th: witaess-stand and attempted to exonerate himself by shift- | ing the blame to C. S. Aiken, exchange editor of the paper. He swore that he was not at the Examiner office the Sunday night when the article was sent to the | printers; that he never saw the article or ordered its publication, and that he had no knowiedge of the publication until efter the proceedings against him and others of the staff were bagun. The managing editor and defeadant in the suit said he was the head of tne paper and the man who hired all the staff or in- | dor-el their bhiring; that Le had the power to discharze them also, but that the chief way in which he was responsi: ble for the manag2ment of the paper was in matters concerning its cen The clipping which the Exam lished, bhe said, was selected by Editor Aiken without his knowledge or consent. The case wili be argued on Monday night, when counse! on both sides wiil argue on the law of criminal libel. AT THE FRIDAY NIGHT DANCE. First Meeting of Edward M. Greenway’s Cotillon Club.

Interesting Lecturs by Kabbi Nieto at the !aylor-street Synagogue. *The Domestic Life of the Patriarchs and Iis ience Upon Religion” was the topic of Rabbi Nieto’s discourse at the Taylor-sireet Synagogue last night. He said in part: There is no doubt but th detined tradition tae co in the absance of ition of tife and its iactors in direct- of & people and ous of religion. the patriarchs con- nof eideas wnich lop- s inteilect expanded into those ethi- cal principles which form the basis of the Jewish religion. “Ine recognized position of the head of a family snd his wif, and the interdependance of 1ts memuers, establist.od a epecies of heaven on earth in which the tather was the God, the mother the archangel and the chilaren the messengers doing the bidding of their parents in ail thing: T0 MEET EVERY DAY.

Ii, toward the close of the session, it is found that one meeting each day will not suffice, the jury wiil hold an evening gathering as well and will make every effort to clean up its calendar on time. Those members who thought it would be | better to exceed the time allowed by Judge Seawall in order to finish its duties have decided t® work with the majority and get through on time. The daily sessions will begin on Monday, ana one of the first things to be considered will be the accusation ot criminal libel brought against Fremont Older, local edi- tor of an evening sheet, by Judge Camp- be!l, the patriarch of the Police Courts. Judge Campboell feels tat there is a dls- position among certain members of the Grand Jury to pass the matter as not worthy of attention, but he does not pro- pose to let it go so easily. “I have been libeled,” he told a group of Grand Jurymen yesterday, ‘‘and either Ider or myself must go ‘0 jail. 1f it has come to a pass where & paper can publish stories reflecting on Judges or other pub- lic officials without (he semblance of truth it is time that some competent authority took the matter upand fixed the responsibility where it belongs. “Ido not object to being joshed and cartooned by the papers, because it is their privilege to do such things within reasonable bounds, bui I do object to be- ing made out crooked when there is abso- lutely nothingz on which to base the charge.”” ——————— A GAUGER SUSPENDED.
