HE first consultation between Republican mem- bers of the Legislature simply developed that Burns is not the choice of the party, and that he alone stands in the way of making that choice. It was further developed that not even his own backers dared declare that his election would be indorsed by a party victory in the State next year. Republicans are aware that the party has a major- ity, and a large one, in the next Senate though all the States yet in deadlock should leave vacant the seats that are being contested.

CCORDING to a report from Sacramento the f\ Legislature has up to date sent to the Gov- ernor for his approval seventy bills. Of these Mr. Gage has approved thirty and vetoed seven- | teen, leaving twenty-three still under consideration. The total number of bills introduced at this session is 1532. This includes the number proposed in both houses, a large percentage of which are duplicates; that is to say, the same bill has been introduced into | each House at the same time—a device invented for | saving time. Place the duplicates at one-half the grand total of measures introduced—which is a liberal | estimate—and we have at least 750 separate proposi- | tions submitted for enactment. | The printing and reprinting of these bills, together | with the daily files, daily journals and daily histories, | has already cost the State upward of $100,000. The expenses of the Legislature itselfl will probably amount to $150,000. The pay of the members ceases to-morrow, but the pay of attaches and employes and i the cost of running the State Printing Office con- tinues on until the end. It is a conservative estimate, therefore, to place the total cost of this session of the | Legislature at s_zsn,ooo, and it is extremely probable | that that sum will be greatly exceeded. For this vast | expenditure of money the pecople have so far got thirteen new laws, with a prospect that the Governor will approve ten or twelve of the twenty-three now in hands. 2 Mr. Gage is making an enviable record as a vetoer of crude, ungrammatical, ill-considered and imprac- tical legislation. He has already struck down three or four gigantic jobs introduced and enacted by the tax-eaters. Among these measures was a bill to es- tzblish a Harbor Commission for San Diego and a bhill designed tG increase the force in the office of the Supreme Court Clerk. At this date it is said that the | | Legislature should have in the Governor's hands from 150 to 200 bills, and it is predicted that even with protracted night sessions, which will continue from this time until adjournment, not more than two or three hundred of the measures now pending can be put through. 2 But it is not clear that the public is going to be benefited even if the work of the Legislature was up to date and the usual number of new laws had been ground out. Governor Gage is sitting down hard upon nearly every measure which comes to him. If he does not object to its grammatical construction he complains that it is full of holes or makes an appro- priation of too much money. Even if the Legislature should adjourn with three or four hundred bills in his hands, there is no prospect whatever that he will approve more than twenty-five or thirty of them. The Governor under the constitution has ten days after adjournment in which to consider measures that have passed. Bills which he does not sign during this There are a few important mat- | ters before this Legislature, and if the others or the greater portion wind up in Governor Gage’s. waste- basket probably little or nothing will be lost. But, nevertheless, the people will disburse for the privi- lege of convening this session upward of $250,000. Everybody remembers Ben Franklin’s story of the boy who paid too much for his whistle. The privi- lege of having a biennial session of the Legislature is a very dear one, but ynless we are mistaken the people are paying too much for their whistle. WHAT EXPOSITIONS ACCOMPLISH. tained by great expositions in the United States is sufficient to make clear their value to wide regions of territory and to the most diverse interests. They have never failed to attract the attention of capitalists and home-seekers to the advantages of the country surrounding the exposition city, nor to stimulate all forms of its enterprise. The effects of expositions can be discerned more casily in the Southern States than elsewhere because the people of that section lack the capital and the skill to establish manufacturing industries and have been compelled to rely upon outsiders to furnish them. What has been accomplished in the develop- ment of the South is therefore almost wholly due to the advertising value of the expositions held at At- lanta and at Nashville. : “The extent of the deficiency of banking capital in the South was shown by the statistics of 18g0. At that time the average for the Union was $93 67 per capita; but while Massachusetts had $341 for every man, woman and child, New York $299, and other manufacturing States a similar amount, the banking capital of North Carolina was but $9 62 per capita; South Carolina, $12 70 per capita; Georgia, $10 09 per capita; Alabama, $7 37 per capita; Mississippi, $10 57 per capita; Arkansas, $4 8 per capita. The deficiency in skilled labor was about as great as the deficiency in capital. The South had no con- iderable body of factory workmen, nor any men of means who knew how to manage such establish- ments. Therefore, when the falling price of cotton compelled the people of that section to seek other in- dustries than those of agriculture, it was imperative upon them to obtain both the capital and the skilled labor from outsiders. In the emergency they undertook to advertise their resources by means of expositions.. A small venture in a tentative way was made in the first cotton ex- position at Atlanta, and the results were so success- ful that a much larger exposition was opened in the same city a few years later. Then came the exposi- tion at Nashville, and the opportunities for inv ment in the South were fully made known. The results have been so extraordinary as to con- stitute one of the most notable features of our in- dustrial history. The influx of Northern capital and skilled labor has been such that the South is now a strong competitor with New England in the manu- facture of cotton, and with Pennsylvania and Ohio in tlte production of iron. the Southern trade papers publish every week a state- ment of the new manufacturing enterprises started in their States, and the result is always a handsome l:\'EN the most casual study of the results at- + showing. For example, a recent issue of the Chattanooga Tradesman s “Among the more important new enterprises reported by the Tradesman for the week | ending February 18 are a bobbin mill in West Ten- nessee; a brick and clay works in East Tennessee; brick and tile works in East Texas; a canning fac- tery in East Tennessee; a $100,000 cotton mill in Texas, and a $600,000 one in North Carolina; elec- tric light plants in Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia; an extract manufacturing company in Southwest Virginia; a flouring mill and a harness factory in Georgia; an ice factory in Arkansas; iron works in Virginia; an irrigation company in Florida; a $50,000 leather company in- East Tennessee; a $100,- oco lighting and heating company in Louisiana; two lumber companies in Texas and one in West Vir- ginia; a machine shop in Kentucky; a tannery in Middle Georgia, and a telephone company in Texas.” These are the results.of expositions held in a sec- tion of country without capital and without skilled la- btor. It will be seen that while the expositions were held in but two cities, the stimulus of their influence is felt over the whole region from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. Can Californians require any better ob- ject lesson in the value of expositions or any more conclusive proof that an exposition in San Francisco would be of beneficial effect throughout the Pacific Coast and to all forms of its interests?. e s e e A Colorado Springs man explains that he took a drink and was in a trance from that moment until he came to himself in San.

These represent the strength Burns has been able to woo from the ranks of those not with him at the start. It is a record not to be proud of. While it may be true that some of the Filipinos desire to surrender, there is no report that Aguin- aldo has approached the American lines with his hands up. 2 “ Senator Davis of Amador seems not only to have the gift of speech, but to be blessed with a back- bone. He doesn't want to vote for Burns, and he won't. If is a st'xrprising bit of information that a Spanish cruiser is in a sinking condition.

JUDGE COFFEY ACCUSED OF BEING PREJUDICED TROUBLE OVER THE ESTATE OF JULIA MORAGHAN. Transfer of Probate Proceedings Is Sought but Promptly Denied by Judge Daingerfield. An affidavit, accompanying a motion to transfer probate proceedings in the estate of the late Julia H. Moraghan from Judge Coffey’s department of the Superior Court to Judge Troutt's, was filed yesterday- be- fore Judge Daingerfield, and in the affi- davit the first named jurist is charged with unfairness and partiality. The trou- ble is the culmination of a division of the Moraghan family, two of the children of the deceased, Elsie and James, dissent- ing over the right to general letters of ad- ministration. On the 6th ult. Elsie Moraghan applied to Judge Coffey tor letters of administra- tnon. At that time James was out of the city, but upon his return he also filed ap- plication for letters of administration. His attorneys got his application assigned to Deg&rtmem 10, and as this divided mat- ters they appeared before Judge Dainger- fleld yesterday and asked that the entire matter be placed in the hands of Judge Troutt. In support of the motion for a transfer an affidavit was read setting forth that James could not hope to receive an un- biased _hearing before J udse Coftey. James Moraghan had known Judge Cof- fey for two years, it was stated, and they Were not on the best of terms. Further- | more, during the settlement of the M. B. | Moraghan estate, Judge Coffey is accused of having said of James Moraghan: | “Charles seems to be always working industriously, while James seems to be industriously doing nothing.” On these grounds thetransfer was asked, | but pramfltly denied.

Scathing Roast by the United States Commissioner of a Lawyer Who Tried to Land a China- man Illegally. Attorney Alfred S. Worley made an un- seemly * exhibition of himself yesterday morning in United States Commissioner Heacock’s court room and in the corridor outside after a case had been decided against him. Mr. Worley is a young man, a fault easily mended in time, and he has a very violent temper. In words of the sporting fraternity is not a “good loser.” he In the same dialect he doesn't know when he is “‘up against it.”” His latest venture in the field of law has been the -advocacy of the admission of Chinamen who claim to be native- born Californians, and therefore eligible to the office of President of the United States. Last December, the exact date being the 7th, the Chinese Bureau re- fused permission to one of his clients to land. When Worley was informed of ths decision he frothed at the mouth and in the sacred preceincts of the Chinese Bu- reau, where he had no right to be, hs accused Inspector Gardiner of having perjured himself as an interpreter and challenged him to step outside into tha corridor and fight. Dr. Gardiner, being a minister of the Gospel, declined ths challenge and paid no further attention to_the fool challenger. E Yesterday Worley swore in United States Commissioner Heacock’'s court that Walter D. Hoyt, the official sten- ographic reporter of the bureau, had per- Jjured himself when he testified that his notes and his transcript thereof were cor- rect on a very material point. Mr. Hoyt took the stand and swore that his notes and transcript were correct. Rev. Dr. Johu Endicott Gardiner corrob- orated Mr. Hoyt's testimony and declared that the perjury, if any, lay with Mr. Worley. orley then introduced a cross- eyed Chinese barber—name unpronounce- able and _therefore immaterial—who swore that Wong §i Fun had testified be- fore the Chinese Bureau that Worley's client lived in a house on a level terrace of a Chinese village built on a hill. Judge Heacock asked the witness from the transcript of testimony all the ques- tions asked, and all the answers were given by Wong Si Fun at the buredu ex- amination. The cross-eyed barber proved to be a hoodoo for Worley, for he swore that all he remembered of the testimony was that Fun had testified that the vil- lage was on a hillside on a level lane. udge Heacock, in rendering his decision remanding Mr. Worley’s doubly unfortu- nate client for deportation, said that Yee Hooey Hook, his witness, had been “in- jected” into the case; that he was clear a perjurer and that the Commissioner a tached no credence whatever to his testi- mony. The court regretted to announce that he did not believe Mr. Worley’s testi- mony under oath. At this stage of the proceedings Worley seized his hat and was granted permission to withdraw from the room, which he did, the action being regarded by the spec- tators as eminently disrespectful.
