SANTA ROSA, Oct. 22.—By permission of the Attorney General, suit was to-day brought in the Superior Court to oust the entire City Council from office, upon the | ground that at the last city election the | | polls were closed at § o'clock, in conform- ity with the State law, instead of at 6| o'clock, as provided by the city charter. At the last election, heid in Aprll of the | presert year, the opposing candidates for City Recorder were Willlam Prindie, in- cumbent, Republican nominee for re-clec- | tion, and W. P. Bagley, the Democratic | candidate. Bagley was declared elected by one vote, given his certificate of elec. | tion, and at the proper time entered upon | the discharge of his dutfes. Prindle be- gan a contest and a recount of the vcte was had before Judge Burnett of the Superior Court. The recount showed Bag- ley had received the most lefal votes and increased his majority to eight. At the request of Prindle’s attorney the case was dismissed at this stage, no decision being | necessary. | A short time afterward Prindle npplled! for and recelved permission to bring suit | in the name of the State to have Bagley's | election declared invalid. upon the ground | W that the polls closed at & o'clock. The case came to trial and Prindle’s conten. tion was held to be correct. Baile v there- upon surrendered the office, but unser pro- test. As the election last year was held in ac- cordance with the custom followed here | for the past ten years, Prindle was elected under precisely the same conditions, and Bagley in turn brought suit to have Prin- dle ousted. This case has not vet come to trial and the suit filed to-day is an at- | tempt to anticipate it and keep Prindle in | office. 3 i gy «‘ NATIONAL BANK VAULT WRECKED BY ROBBERS Culprits Become Alarmed and Flee After Blowing Open the Door With Nitro-Glycerine.

JOHN SHERMAN’S DEATH IS MOURNED UNIVERSALLY President McKinley and Other Prominent Men Pay Tribute to the Memory of the Late Statesman. o —— THE LATE JOHN SHERMAN, WHOSE DEATH AT HIS HOME IN WASHINGTON WAS ANNOUNCED HERE EX- CLUSIVELY YESTERDAY MORNING BY THE CALL.

Since Sunday afternoon Mr. Sherman had been most of the time unconsclous, rallying partiaily at ! int als, when slight nourishment w given him. Yesterday afternoon evidences of the approaching end were manifest and he fajled to regain consciousness after 3 o’clock. Several days ago, realizing the critical condition of Mr. Sherman, the members of the household and relatives here sent telegrams to a large number of the family | connections throughout the country in- forming them of his extreme iliness, and some were able to reach here before he died. Among those at the bedside when the end came were Mr. and Mrs. Colgate Hoyt of New York, Mr. and Mrs. France Wiburg of Cincinnat!, Mrs. William K. Otis of New York City, P. Tecumseh Snerman, a son of the late General Sher- man; Charles M. Sherman of Chicago, Miss Lizzie Sherman, Mrs. James McCal- lum, the adopted daughter, who has been Mr. Sherman’s constant attendant, and her husband. General and Mrs. Miles, the | 1atter a niece of Secretary Sherman, were at the house the greater portion of the day and evening, but left for their home shortly after midnight. They were sum- moned when it was apparent that the end was near and reached the house a few after the venerable statesman had passed away. Where Death Occurred. Secretary, Sherman’s death occurred in the handsome home on K street, he had erected ecight vears ago. Some weeks ago the Secretary deeded this val- uable property to Mrs. McCallum. The Secretary was a large holder of real es- tate In this city. Conservative estimates of his wealth place it at a round million dollars. It is known that Mr. Sherman left a will, but no information as to its contents or even when it would be pro- bated will be obtainable until after the fu- neral. The news of Mr. Sherman’s death was communicated to the State Department by E. J. Babcock, for many years private secretary and clerk to Mr. Sherman in his various capacities as Secretary of the Treasury, United States Senator and Sec- retary of State, and at present private secretary to Secretary Hay. The Presi- dent was also informed by the department and the flags on the public bulldings in ashington were lowered to half-mast, 50 to remain until after the funeral. The President’s Tribute. The President issued the following proc- lamation: A % ess of years and honors, John Sh‘:rn::: ‘:yel;)' 'SCI‘NK’I'II'Y of State, has passed away. e - Few among cur citizens have risen to greater the national The story of his public life and services is. as it :v»r; the history of the o or half @ century. e Congress of the United States he ranked among_the foremost in the Houge and later in tbe Senate. He was twice a \mem- ber of the Executive Cabinet, f cre- taty of the Treasury and aftervilird as Secre- tary of State. Whether in debate durlng the dark hours of our civil war, or as the director of the country’s finances during the period of rehabilitation, or as a trusted counselor in framing the nation’s laws for over forty years, or as the exponent of its forelgn policy, his course was ever marked by devotion to the best interests of his beloved Jand, and by able and conscientious efforts to Wphold its dignity and bonor. His countrymen will long revere his memory and see in him a type of the patriotism, the uprightness and the zeal that &o to molding and strengthening a nation. In fitting expression of the sense of bereave- ment that afflicts the republic, I direct that on the day of the funeral the executive offices of the United States display the national flag at haif mast, and that the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall pay in like manner appropriate trflmdl:ytn the filustri- 5. | ous dead for a period of ten Loss Is Deeply Regretted.

Becretary Gage said: recorded in history, debt of gratit Whetlier as a Representative, a Senator, or | a member of the Cabinet, Mr. Sherman was at all times a distinctive force. He had led the forces in Congress which passed the re- sumption act in 1874. As Secretary of the Treasury in 1877, it became his duty to carry into effect the provisions of the law he har previously in Congress done so much to in- augurate. Tn the performance of this duty he had many difficulties to meet, but he met them with the wide foresight, the steady courage and the calm_persistency which the occasion demanded. History will, I belleve, point to that period as the most brilliant in his career and will recognize that in bringing back the national treasury to specie payment on January 1, 1878, he accomplished the greatest and most useful work of his long and trultful President McKinley. by the news of Mr. Sherman's death. immediately directed that the Whita House be closed to visitors and the flag on the executive mansfon was placed at half-mast. After ordering some beautifui flowers from the White House conserv- atory he went in person.to Mr. Sherman's late residence to express his grief and offer what consolation he could to the bereaved family. Mrs. McKinley later drove to the Sherman residence and left her card. Funeral Arrankements. The funeral arrangements, so far as they pertain to the services at Washing- ton., were completed late this afternoon. They will take place at the iate residence of Mr. Sherman on Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. McKay Smith of St. John's Episcopal Church being the offi- clating clergyman. Immediately after the services the body will be taken to Mans- was greatly affected field, Ohlo. where the arrangements for | the last rites have been left in the hands of Rev. W. 8.
