He is a word artist. At his right hand is | a dictionary, at his left a thesaurus. He has not yet charmed the ear markedlyy but his bosom swells with ambition and on his bulging brow i the luster of thoughts serene and or nal. Shortridge will be heard from yet; there is no help for it. He is loaded and at any moment the pyro- technics may be touched off. Among the developments of the situ- ation has been the salivary ejaculation of Major McLaughlin. He tried to douse the optical glim of Goucher. Or, to be plain almost to the point of vul- | garity, he spat Into Goucher’s eye. It| pleasure to know Goucher, but I know the major as a gentleman, whose treatment of newspaper repre- sentatives is ever courteous. Neverthe- this thing of spitting is reprehen- sible. To spit on the pavement ls.in- terdicted and to spit in the face of a human being, made in the image of God, is infinitely worse.

Among them are so many preachers that to discuss the morality of the gen- eral scheme of lobbying is out of the question. It must be right or they would not be here.

The intent of the bill, | the exemption from taxation of church properties, attracted to the- Supreme Court chambers at the Capitol, where the meeting was held, the same party of emi- | nent divines that attended on the after- noon session and there was much of elo- quence and sound reasoning in favor of | | the measure.

DISCUSSING BENEFITS T STANFORD UNIVERSITY CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-' MENTO, Jan. 24.—President Jordan and Professor Nathan Abbott of Stanfora | University appeared before the Senate Committee on Judiclary this evening in behalf of Sepate constitutional amend- ment 11, which is a proposition to add a new section to the constitution of the State, confirming the founding of the uni- versity and the trust and giving addl- tional powers to the trustees. /It also exempts the grounds and buildings lo- cated upon them from taxation. Professor Jordan delivered quite an ex- ' tended address, giving reasons why the mendments as proposed should receive favorable consideration at the hands of He cited the fact that which had been performed under the trust about which there might be legal techni- calities, and It was desirable that the trust be confirmed by the constitution of the State.

Senator Shortridge argued that if this amendment was adopted it would indi- cate a lack of confidence on the part of the Senators in their own honesty. Senator Simpson agreed with Senator Shortridge. Senator Stratton then cut off debate by moving the previous question, and upon a viva voce vote the amend- ment was.defeated. Senator Gillette, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, stated that the work of the committee had been greatly hampered by the lack of clerlcal assist- ance, whereupon Senator Flint informed him that there were at present thirteen ittee clerks. enator Cutter explained that a g necessary employes had been wo in _expectation of the By a vote of 27 to 4 he bill was pa BILL COMES TO THE FRONT CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-| TO, Jan. 24.—The largely advertised prisonment for debt bill made its looked-for appearance in the Assembly this morning.

THE ORR INQUEST. The Coroner Replies to Charges Made Against Him. Coroner Hill held an inquest yesterday on the body of Frank E. Orr, one of the victims of the collision of the launch Wil- liam D with the ferry steamer Oakland. The survivors of the launch swore that they did not see the ferry-boat, while the officers of the steamer swore that they gave the danger signal as soon as they saw the launch, which was 100 yards away, but that the launch came straight on, and when the steamer reversed her | engines she had too much headway prevent a collision, verdict blaming nobody. With reference to the complaint of W. H. Stackpole regarding the disposition of the body of young Orr, Coroner Hill en- ters a general denial. He acknowledges that he preferred that the business should 80 to some San Francisco undertaker rather than to an Oakland firm, but says that he was ready at any time to deliver the remains to the friends of the deceased on the receipt of Mr. Montealegre. After numerous delays this gentleman receipted for the body, and it was taken across the bay. The Coroner further asserts that he was acting within his rights and for his own protection. Referring to the disposition of un- claimed dead, Dr. Hill said that there is no eity undertaker, but that he has an arrangement by which such bodies are turned over to undertakers of the city by rotation, thusgiving each an equal share of the patronage. This arrangement, he says, will be continued throughout his ad- ministration. ————————— SIGNAL CORPS ORDERED OUT., General Warfield Ix;stmcted to Honor the Remains of Ex-Governor Pacheco.
