The occasion was the consideration of the health bills that have emanated from the On Tuesday night a delegation from San Francisco appeared before the health Those who spoke were listened to and questioned, and from the manner of the legislators one would have been willing to deny that the course of the bills was a foregone conclusion, and that the city gation might just as well have re- mained at home. The $100.00 appropria- tion bill, designed to amplify the funds at the Governor's disposal, had already passed the Assembly with an ease pecu- liar to measures which cinch the city, and after the city delegation had made its plea the bill was taken up by the Senate Committe on Health and with- two minutes a decision to report it fa- vorably, with the additional recommenda- tion that it be referred to the Finance Committee, had been reached. Two of those who voted for it, Bettman and Nel- son, are of the city delegation. P fcally the game delegation appeared on Friday night before the Judiciary Com- mittee of the Assembly to protest against two more bills of the same series. There ome San Francisco men on the .com- mittee, but they all belong to the same influence that is behind the bills, and there is no guarantee that the Assembly ttee will not follow the lead of the committee. City Assemblymen Are Silent. It is the proper thing, of course, to - pear before a legislative committee 4 est_against objectionable legislation, but in the city's case the delegation might just as well have stayed away.

There is | §28,000 of the $50,000 left, and the nat- 1 demand for the reason this should be increased to $128,000 is still unanswered. That $100,000 bill will meet a warm re- ture a general snapping of bonds and breaking of shackles it will pass, and if ink holds out it will be signed.

Fight Over Franchise Bill. To-morrow the Broughton franchise bill, now in the Senate, will come out of com- mittee, the report depending upon the vote, of Ashe. The Committee on Munici- pal Corporations is composed of Taylor (chairman), Shortridge, Caldwell, Smith of Los Angeles, Devlin, Tyrrell of San Francisco and Ashe. As the committee ridge, Deviin and Tyrrell on one side, and with Ashe yet to vote. When the bill was taken up last week, Ashe was away and it, or upon the amendments offered, which make the real question to be solved. The out the clause allowing bidders to bid against the highest sealed bid after it has been opened, and provide for the owners of a certain percentage of the prop ¢ fronting on the proposed way, ithout advertising or inviting competi- tion. he proponents of the amendments seem not to be active in their support, and their expectations are not the most rose- ate. They arrived late and found senti- ment_crystallized. The bill had been thrashed out in the Assembly, and both the amendments now proposed were al- lowed to be passed by. There was no fight made for them, and the impression then given was that neither was consid- ered of first importance. What caused the revulsion of feeling when the bill reached the Senate is a matter for specu- lation, answered by people from the south with the explanation that the traction company, believing it had control of the City Council of Los Angeles, thought it could get what it wanted anyway, bill or no bill, and, meeting unexpected failure in that direction, hurried to S8acramento to have the bill amended with provissions favorable to itself. Should either of the proposed amendments be adopted by the Senate, there is no doubt that the bill will be hung up in the Assembly, and, in the absence of joint rules, this will kill it. The traction people say they don’t care; that they would rather see the bill dead than passed without the amendments. While that may be true, so far as the company is concerned, it does not apply to the Senate. It is under- stood that several of the Benators who are in favor of the amendments will vote for the bill anyway. even should the amendments fail, and in that case there is little doubt of its passage. Apportionment Problems. Apportionment, the cnly other piece of legislation that is attracting more than passing interest, is ‘urning on the three Assemblymen from Sacramento. Not that f the surroundiag counties care par- iy how many Assembiymen come fro cramento, but they figure it is be ake Sacramento fight, and there- by the danger to themselves, 1 ved by many that Sacramento has he victim of its friends, and that of the Assemblymen has been taken from it in order to raise a row. Then, in the general confusion, it may be that the whole or a good part of the ap- portionment scheme may fall through. The scheme to take an Assemblyman from Sacramento came from the apportionment committee and was dropped into Cutter's bill as a committee amendment. Had the rule regarding unlimited free conferences been adopts the bill might have been hung up between the two houses In free conference committee after free confer- ence committee, but under existing cir. cumstances that Is imvossible. The session is half over, and 8o far thers bas not been one important piece of legis- lation. Both houses have refusad to work on Saturdays, and h have end. %heir quorums until authors of important measures prefer to let them go to the foot of the file rather than stand a vote that must be practically unanimous. It has been the greatest Legislature for junkets that has been seen in a long ttme, and thn effect of it all will be to cause a rush toward the close. either house.

Rescuers. o Uy Speclal Dispatch to The Call. “BEATTLE, Feb. I0.—Eleven duck- hunters of Ballard had a narrow escape Sound this morning, when the steam launch W. F', carying the party, was run down and put in a sinking condition by the steamer Dode. The collision occurred off Lighthouse Point, beyond the entrance to Shilshole Bay, at 5 o’clock, and dark- ness added to the confusion and the diffi- culty of rescue, Two of the duck-hunters, Chris Kagelin and Dean Plant, both Ballard men, had a desperate fight for life. The nine others of the party managed to cling to .the launch until taken aboard the steamer. Kagelin and Plant, believing the launch was sinking and unable in the darkness o see the efforts made by the officers and crew of the Dode to rescue all hands, struck out for shore, about two miles diz- tant. They were in the water fully half an hour, and Kagelln, the better swim- mer, when picked up finally by small boat from the Dode, is said to have been scarcely more than a mile from shore. ‘The whole flarty was costumed for duck- hunting, in heavy duck clothing and hi rubber boots. They started in_the W. F. from Ballard at 4 o'clock. Off Lighthouse Polint they saw the lights of the approach- ing steamer. There was an interchange of signals, but, through a misunderstand- ing, the helmsman of the launch threw her directly across the bows of the Dode. The cutwater of the steamer, which was running at full speed, struck the W. just abaft the starboard bow, tearing a great hole hoth below and above the water line. The occupants of the launch were thrown into the water, and the launch itself began to fill. Ia the confusion of vells and orders on board. the Dode the unfortunate hunters did not know what to expect. Kagelin and Plant struck out for shore. The steamer quickly put about and got a line to the 'aunch. A boat was in chasing the swimmers, the whole party was got safely aboard. The simking launch was towed inshore and beached at Lighthouse Point. Other members of -he hunting party were Walter Sanborn, George Pursell. | William Jackson. Henry Anderson and | flve others, all of Ballard. . @cbeleelloiminiefdods o e slmlefufuieluleinld @ BEHIND THE BARS practice of binding the feet of children. | The “places of amusement” within the meaning of the bill are evidently Barbary | Coast joints and similar dens of. vice, but | the committee will not bother itself with | any study of conditions among the sub- | merged tenth.

The committee does not contemplate any | slumming trip on Barbary Coast for the | present, but opportunity for further mile- | age claims may vet lead it to that. The members are taking much credit to them- selves for their forbearance in going only | to San Francisco, when by the resolution they might go to any part of California, however remote and however little bear- ing ite conditions might have on the bills in question. Their self-restraint is prob- | ably due to a conviction that the Ways and Means Comiittee would not report favorably mileage claims for any other than a San Francisco trip. - ——— COMING TO ASK FOR LOWER RAILWAY RATES Nevada Legislators to Visit Southern Pacific Officials in San Fran- cisco.

SIOUX CITY, Towd, Feb. 10.—Three men belleved to have been implicated in the | United States Expresy Company’s safe, ! sald to contain $40, were arrested at that place this morning. They were | traced by their tracks in the snow. The men are John Jackson, John Stovall and Charles Hayes. All live at Manila and are well known. Thelr reputations here- tofore have not been bad. They stoutly protested their innocence. Mrs. Jackson, wife of John Jackson, was algo arrested, but at a preliminary hearing she was re- leased. The three men are in jail, having been unable to furnish bonds fixed at $12,- 000 each. None of the money been recovered. The stolen safe contained in the neigh- borhood of $40,000. Two thousand dollars was In cash and the remainder in drafts, checks and various valuables. ‘While the robbery undoubtedly was de- liberately planned, as the horse and wag- on were in waiting at a convenient spof it is not believed that the men knew they were making so rich a haul. They had no means of knowing the contents of the safe, only that it was used In carrying valuables. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul train, on which the safe was taken from Sioux City, arrived at Manila at 8:05 p. m. Saturday. The Omaha train was late and James Sturtevant of Sioux City, the ex- press messenger, @id not hurry in unload- ing the goods and packages from his car. The express safe, with other articles, was placed on a truck on the depot platform and then Sturtevant and the baggageman went to the other end of the platform to get another truckload. When Sturtevant returned he noticed that the aricles on the truck were disarranged and a glance showed that the iron box was gone. There was great excitement and no time was lost in spreading the alarm. City Marshal Ferrall hastily assembled a posse. Snow lay deep on the ground and it did not take long to discover the tracks of two persons who evldenfl?r had been carrying some heavy object directly from the truck as it stood on the depot plat- orm. They carried the safe a distance of about two blocks and then loaded it into a wagon which had been left there in waiting. The wagon was driven about a mile and a half out into the country and there the safe was forced open and the contents abstracted. The men there aban- doned the safe and went their way on a new track. It was not difficult to trace them, however, and this morning three ar- rests were made.

Drexel, the multi-millionaire of the great banking-house of Philadelphia, follow in ‘he footsteps of Wil- llam Waldorf Astor and be- come a British subject? That is the ques- tion that is buzzing about in the circle of the Four Hundred of the staid old Quaker City. Gossip says that the glamour of the court of St. James Is to the banker what the flame is to the moth, and that he is upon a throne in quest of recognition as the friend of a King and enrollment in the list of those favored of the nobility. To these reports the banker and his family have entered flerce denial. At the same time he has never denied that he took pleasure in spending a great deal of time in the capitals of Europe, especially London. Mr. and Mrs. Drexel were always in attend- ance at the receptions of Queen Victoria, They were treated with distinction by Ed- ward when he was Prince of Wales. He was several times a guest of the Drexels at_their London residence.

MADRID, Feb. 11.—The banquet given at the palace last evening by the Queen Regent in honor of Prince Charles of | Bourbon, who will wed the Princess 0‘1 the Asturias, and of his parents, the Count and Countess of Caserta, was an | extremely brilliant affair. On the right| of the Regent sat the Count of Caserta, the Infanta Maria Teresa, the Minister | of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Agullar de, Capos, the Infanta Eulalie and the Min- | ister of Marine, Vice Admiral Ramos | Izquierdo. On her left sat Prince Charles | of Bourbon, the Princess of the Astu- rias, the President of the Chamber of | Deputies and the Princess Immaculata. | The Regent's mother, Archduchess Ellza-J teth, sat opposite her, with distinguished | guests on each side. The Regent's| brother, Archduke Eugene, arrived at| ncon and will attend the court ball to- | morrow. It is estimated that some forty of the| Cabinet Ministers will be present at the wedding. It is now probable that the bride and bridegroom will not appear in | the streets, but that the function will be carried out entirely within the palace walls. Six hundred students have sent an ad- dress to the Minister of Public Instruc- tion declaring that ‘‘considéring the mar- | riage of the Princess of the Asturias| with the son of one who caused the na- | tion so many sorrows to be a national misfortune and a reason for mourning | instead of rejoicing,” ~they deemed it their duty mot to accept holidays of the event. Senor Ugarte, Minister of the Interior, sald tn the course of an interview that vesterday’'s troubles were more serious than those of the precedlnf days, be- cause political factions had joined with the students, and therefore he had re- sclved to adopt vigorous measures of re- pression. in honor Students’ Unfon last night on the occasfon of a lecture dealing with the anti-clerical play “Blectra,” the students stoned the police.

At Vallodid yesterday students stoned the convents and monasteries and it was necessary for the gendarmes to chuge them. They shattered the windows of the Jesuit College with stones and did not disperse until the rector of the university personally apvealed to them. To-day in Vallodid the Francescans who appeared in the streets were stoned.

Egan is at present undergoing a ten years' sen- tence at hard labor at Alcatraz Island California, imposed for arson in the Ph ippines. Egan was one of a party of sol- diers who were drunk and were fired upon" by a party of natives. In retaliation the soldiers set fire to a house and a_woman and child were burnea to death.

Queen Victoria was much given to receiving American families at the Windsor and Osborne House drawing- room receptions, but she never came into such intimate acquaintance with any of the republic’s men and women as has King Edward VII and his Queen, Alex- andra. The_social prestige of Mrs. Paget, who was Miss_Stevens, was admitted in the | reign of Victoria. and already the news has come that the Duchess of Maribor- ough, who was Consuelo Vanderbilt, is to be officially one of the new Queen's la- dies. Both of these women have become British subjects. Two other Americans who hold a high place in the esteem of his Majesty are Mr. and Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel of Phil- adelphia. Mr. and Mrs. Drexel spend many months every year abroad, and their children are being educated at Eng- lish schools. In taking up their abode in London Mr. and Mrs. Drexel did not dis- guise the fact that they were ambitious to get into society, and in this they had the friendship and influence of Mrs. Paget. The result has been that they have been everywhere received, and that when the period of mourning has passed from the court of St. James, Mr. and Mrs. Drexgel ‘i'fll be prominent guests at royal func- tions. sales.

Call at LONDON, Feb. 11.—The Dally Mail makes the following statement: A notice declaring Edward VII a usurper and VIM, VIGOR, VITALITY for MEN Mary IV the rightful Queen was posted on the gates of St. James Palace and at the Guild Hall on the night Queen Victo- ria died. It was not signed and no one saw it posted at elther place, but it was known to have been the work of a mem- ber of the Jacobite League. Probably no action will be taken, but the incident ex- plains why the legitimists were not al- lowed to place a wreath upon the statue of Charles I on January 30. The court circular announces King Ed- ward's decision that court presentations during the reign of Queen Victorla will hold good for the present reign. This will remove the great difficulty that would have been involved in thousands of re- newed presentations. At the opening of Parliament, which will be a great pageant, the King will wear a crimson velvet state robe with rica trimmings of ermine. Ladies have per- misslon to wear pearls and dlamonds.
