Partisan Plan of the New State Library Board in Detail. | How the Republican Caucus Provided for the Library Patronage. DEMOCRATS TO BE FIRED. An Agreement to Abide by the Unit Rule in Making Appointments to Office. The position taken by Governor Budd respecting the Board of State Library Trustees, who were dlected by the last Assembly to take office February 28, 18908, has excited a great deal of com= | ment, and given rise to many specula- | tions as to the precise contents of the caucus letter sent to the several can- didates. The written demands made upon the aspirants for membership in the new board under signature of the Republi- can caucus committee, and the pledges responsively said to have been made by | four of the five members elect, are held by the Governor to constitute a vio- | 1ation of the purity of elections law. On this ground, it is announced, he will decline to certify to the elections. leged he threw a paint bucket at him | but smashed the grocer’s window in- stead.

Reciprocity to Be Made the Basis of Action in All Cases Coming Under the Rule. The United States Board of General praisers has rendered an important de- on on questions arising under the pro- ions of section 22 of the act of July 24, 187, relating to the imposition of a discriminating duty of 10 per cent ad valorem In certaln cases. The effect of this decision, in which the T Department concurs, taken in | conjunction with the opinion of the At- | -General, is to relieve all merchan- soming from a contiguons foreign | action of discriminat- | from the e ept h merchandise as ntiguous fo n _territory \try, the government of | 8 a discriminating duty upon | els of the United States, or upon | sroduce, manufacture or merchan- imported in the same from the United States or from any forelgn coun- | try. 1 ‘.: given by this The decisior being _op- posed to the opinion given by the Solici- tor-General, as contained in the circular of October 8, 1897, No. 163 (Synopsis 18427 customs officers will no longer be go 1 by the provisions of that circular. the vess: any foreign merchandise become | y liable to the discriminating duty | rovided £ ction 22, due notice will | All entries liquidate in accordance with that circular will be reliquidated under this decision, and duties paid in excess as discriminating duties will be duly re- funded. —_—————— BOONE’'S DISBARMENT. He Makes Affl;a;it_xccusing Repu- table Lawyers of Wrongdoing Similar to His Own. John L. Boone has filed an affidavit in the United States Circuit Court with his petition for a rehearing in the disbar- ment proceedings against him, and in the | affidavit he tries to make it appear that | reputable lawyers have been guilty of similar practices to those for which he was disbarred. He avers that in the case of Knox & Osborn vs. the Great Western Quicksil- ver Company in the United States Circuit Court in 1872, Hall McAllister accepted a retainer from Knox & Osborn, got a ver- dict for them and afterward appeared against them in another suit concerning | the same patent. Judge Boalt is also d by Boone with having appeared a rmer client in a patent case. s also that Judge D. J. Mur- | ed for Laura D.

As far as the police know three poolrooms for “ladies only” are in full operation on Grant | avenue.

Almost every afternoon a crowd of women can be seen tripping up the stairs to the poolroom, anxious to bet their last cent on some horse. “Billy” Akers, a retired prize-fighter, runs the place, assisted by a man named Har- rington, who is known to the habitues of the tenderloin as ‘‘Pretty Harry.” | When a Call reporter visited the .pool- room yesterday afterngon, Harrington was seated at a small desk engaged in the lucrative pastime of writing “tick- ets” for the deluded women who | thronged the place. “Say, pard, have you anything good to-day?”’ asked a dilapidated-looking female, addressing Harrington. ‘“I've about reached the end of my string and want a lead-plpe cinch.” The suave clerk assured her, that he | attitude by an authentic copy of the letter so adroitly circulated, he was ap- pealed to yesterday by a representative of The Call for a fac simile of it.

From another quarter, after diligent research, the caucus letter, now des- tined to take a place in the history of practical politics in California, was suppress the evil. They conferred with the Chief of Police with the result that a special de- tail of officers was sent to close the ames. They established a sort of lockade, but, despite their efforts, the games continued to flourish. Every day two policemen are stationed in front of each of the poolrooms with instruc- tions to warn the visitors that they are liable to arrest.
