WANTS TO BE STATE CAPITAL. CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRAMENTO, Jen, 28.—Senator Louis Oneal surprised the members of the upper house this morning by | introducing & constitutional amendment chang- | ing the e capital to San Jose. A similar attempt was made in 1894. At that time a local newspaper angered the leg- islators by fts criticismes, and in retaliation a constitutional amendment was introduced to change the seat uf government to Saun Joss. This amendment was tested in the Supreme | Court and that tribunal declared it unconstitu- tional. “We have no feeling in the matter. We think that ms & geographical proposition a more central portion of the State should be Oneal to-day. '“We think San Jose has all the requirments. Positively, 1 did not intruduce this measure With the idea of casting reflec tion upon the city of Sacramento. ““The citizens of San Jose are ready to do- nate more than ten acres of ground and $1 000,000 for bulldings. There are bills in t! present Legislature to improve the State Capi- 1ol and to erect & building for the State Li- brary. We can save the State all this e: penditure by removing the capital to the Gar- den City. “We have followed the suggestion as laid down by the Bupreme Court in the decislon in the case of Livermore vs Waite, That is, we are not making the amendment operative im- Miediately, but in 1907, and we attach no conditions."” SAN JOSE, Jan. The report from Sacra- mento to-day that Su Senator Oneal had in- troduced & constitutional amendment for the removal of the State capital from Sacramento o San Jose was joyously recelved here. In the last few years San Jose's position in the State has been practically changed by the construction of the coast line of railway, is within easier access to-day to the people ot 1os Angeles and San Diego, the southern centers of population, becauso of the railway. The big population of San Francisco and Ala- meda County is near. and the business men of the bay cities could come to San Jose, transact their business at the capital and return in a few hours. As the capital I now located i means at least a full day spent on the trip he o of San Jose will take up the mmatier and Urse the Santa O egation to do ail in Its power to secure the capital. The hext meeting of the Chamber of Commerce wil consider the question and see just what can bs done in the rems of the capital. It is that the legislators from the southern cisco and Ala- meda will favor the hemoval of the capital, LIt after investigation there appears to be eny chance of San Jose getting the capital irers will be no lack of funds to carry on & fight, A number of prominent citizens would bs willlng to contribute to such a fund to sernd a lobby to Sacramento to work In the in- terests of San Jose.

The explosives are strung from windows and balconfes and the racket will continue until 6 o'clock. During the day ladies will visit each other. The streets will be thronged with gorgeously arrayed females and children and the sight will be a pleasing one. The festival of Chinese New Year will end to-morrow night for most of the Chinese, but for the wealthy it will con- tinue fifteen days. At the end of that | time old clothes will be donned, business resumed and the highbinders pick up their hatchets and renew their old strife.

Send Joint Note Favoring Prompt Declaration of Peace. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The Italian and British Embassadors and the ¢ man Charge d'Affaires, at joint confer- ence to-day, agreed to cable to their gov- ernments urging a prompt acceptance of Bowen's last proposition to enable the lifting of the Venezuelan blockade at once. In this cablegram, which sent al ncon, it was suggested that the consider- ation of the details be postponed until after the signing of the preliminary pro- tocol. Signor Mayor des Planches, the [talian Embassador, as the ranking representa- tive of the allles, called on Bowen this atterncon and informed him of the dis- patch of the joint cablegram to the pow- ers and expressed the hope that it would expedite the arrival of the final answer. Partial confirmation has been obtalin hes that Belgium ration of the s. Bowen declines to dis- cvss the detafls of his plan, however, un- til the blockade has been raised. Late this afternoon he gave out a brief state— ment of the diplomatic debt of Venezuela and the methods for its future adjustment. In round numbers this debt amounted cn December 31, 191, to more than $4,- 000,000 and consisted of claims which had previously been adjusted. Since that | dateOwing to the almost constant state of revolution which has prevailed in Ven- €zuela, no payments have been made on the debt. Bowen's plan provides that 13 per cent of the customs receipts of all th Venezuelan ports shall g0 toward the pay- ment of this debt. This arrangement, is stated, will interfere in no wise with the plan of Bowen, submitted to the pow ers, for the settlement of the unajudicat claims. For the payment of the latter 3 per cent of the customs duties of the two ports of Porto Cabello and La Guaira has teen offered in pledge by Bowen. From the highest authority it learned to-day that the publication b the London Foreign Office of the that Great Bri and sought the was brought fact Venezuela representations from the German Foreign Office. It is said that Germany had threatened to publish the diplomatic exchanges be- tween the German and British Foreign Offices unless Great Britain immediately should bear the responsibility for the al- liance. This threat was induced by the anti-German feeling aroused in the Unit- ed States by events in Venezuelan waters. ONE STUMBLING BLOCK. Allies Still Insist Upon Preferential Treatment. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The British and TItallan Embassadors and Count Quadt, the German Charge, called on Mr. Bowen, the Venezuelan represent: tive, looking to the raising of the block- ade and a settlement of the claims against Venezuela, late to-night. The conference was by appointment and at the request of the representatives of the powers, It is believed that the purpose ‘was to present claims of the allies to preferential treatment in payments over those nations which have not exerted physical pressure on Venezuela. After the ‘conference it was made known that no agreement had been reached for the raising of the blockhde and that further word must be awaited from Europe before this stage of the ne- gotiations were passed.

DARING HOLD-UP BY TWO DESPERATE THUGS William Thompson Receives Blow on the Face While His Compan- ion’s Pockets Are Rifled. A daring hold-up was enacted by two men outside “the Fearless saloon,” on the corner of Jessle and Third streets, at 1 o'clock this morning. The victim was John Brady an employe of the Pacific Coast Ofl Company. He was standing talking ‘to & companion named Willlam Thompson, who came recently to the city from Terre Haute, Ind., when two men approached them, one striking Thompson on the face, while the other man held Brady's right arm and rifled his trousers pockets. The thief succeeded in obtain- ing $20. and then the two men decamped down Jessie street and disappeared. Several people were witnesses to the brazen robbery, but the whole thing was done so quickly and the thieves were so alert that they easily baffled those who followed them. Police Officers J. J.

The Coroner has concluded his official investigation into her sad and untimely death and the body is now in the hands of her many and sorrowing friends. Inquests were held this evening in the cases of the murderer and his victim, but no new lights were thrown on the terrible tragedy. The only point brought out was he testimony of Dr. Sartori, who per- rmed the autopsy on the body of Bra- fled to finding three distinct n the body of the mur- d any of them was sufficient to have caused death. Miss Carrie Lerrara, the Portuguese girl, who was the only eyewitness of the murder of Miss Nugent, was unable to appear at the inquest. She is suffering from nervous prostration and the physi- cian attending her says that she will be confined to her bed for some time. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict accordance with the facts in both cases Much credit is due to Supervisor Lin- scott, who Is well known as a very cool and deliberate man. Linscott entered the :gent home accompanied by Officers sette, Valencia and Carr, to arrest ady and when the murderer was lo- cated Linscott iInterviewed him through a partition that separated them. He or- dered Brady, under penaity of fire from the ., to give himself up Upon the murderer's refusal to do so inscott directed the men to direct their > toward the room. They fired and one of, the bullets passed through Brady's body, compelling him to leave his resort d enter the room with Linscott, Ras- tte and Valencia.
