CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- i MENTO, March 5—The passage of the | Big Basin bill, appropriating $250,000 for | the establishment of a redwood park, now seems assured so far as the Assembly is | concerned. A written agreement has been | entered into between H. L. Middletoa, | President of the Big Basin Lumber Com- | pany, and William T. Jeter. as trustee of | the "Sempervirens Ciub, which has re- moved the objections of those who are op- | posing the measure, and Ralston, the lead- er of the opposition, announced this after- noon in the Assembly that he would give the bill his support. The agreement, entered into on March | 4, gives the Sempervirens Club an option on 2500 acres of the Big Basin, with the | timber thereon, at the stipulated price of | |$250,000, the payments to be made annually in sums of 330,000, beginning January 1. 1902, and ending January 1, 1%6. The | agreement was received to-day by Andrew | P. Hill of San Jose, who has been look- | ing_out for the interests of the bill, to- | gether with a letter from Middleton, say- | ing that it had been drawn in accorda with suggestions by himself, henna and Mr. Ralston. the Assembly. It probably will be rushed to final passage and sent to the Senate | and there placed on the special urgency file. | HURLS HIS PARTNER | DOWN A MINE SHAFT Romance Beginning in Italy Ends in Attempted Murder in the the Klondike.

The bill is made a special order for | to-mororw morning, and its final passage amendments and further delay are pos-| sible.

Johnson's amendment strikes out all of this test to the clause providing for chal- lenge for any cause that would disqualify a voter at a general election. The test the amendment provides is as follows: The ballot clerk shall then ask him this question and none other: ‘Do you indorse the principles of the party which you have named, according to the most recent declaration of its principles by the highest authority in that party?” Upon an affirmative answer being given to the guestion by him, and not other- wise, he shall be furnished ome of the offi- clal ballots containing the name of the party 80 named by him, and permitted to vote there- on; and he shall not be permitted to vote any party ballot at that election. The amendment leaves out the *‘oath or affirmation” clause and makes indorse- ment of party principles the test instead of the assertion of a “bona fide present intention™ to support the nominees of the party.

He is_nearly 70 vears of age. In the early sixties Buckley was known all over the coast as the ‘Stage King.” He owned lines of stages running up and down the coast and as far east as Utah. The coming of the railways drove him from bustness and he retired with a for- tune. He invested heavily in lands and was considered a millionaire. Reverses came and he lost all.

He held that any law which tended to drive away the better class of citizens from the primaries was a bad law. Treadwell declared his belief that any test that could be estabiished by the Leg- islature would be declared unconstitu- tional by the Supreme Court. Of the two tests under consideration he favored the Johnson amendment as the less objection- able of the two evils. Johnson said that indorsement of party’ principles was much more fundamental | than a declaration of intention to support | He claimed that the committee provision was not a test at all of party affillation, and he quoted from Justice Temple's opinion in the case of Britton vs. The Election Commissioners to show that his test, making party principles fundamen- tal, was in line with the thought of the Slzlpl;'oma Court, ‘he amendment was adopted by affirmative vote. e aee LATEST FAD OF SOGIETY Military Heels. ‘Well-dressed ladles always look carefully after their footwear, for they recognize the fact that an lii- fitting shoe will spoll their appear- ance, Here s the latest style.
