Santa Cruz, Mendocino, FsvG
Amador, Placer, Siskiyou, YuO,
and Sutter counties do not greatly
vary from the unofficial figures
previously published. In some
cases the Non-Partizan majorities
are somewhat decreased from the
previous figures and in others
slightly increased, but, on the
whole, will sum up rather
less than the most favorable
estimates heretofore given. For
delegates at large there is
evidence OF considerable scratching
and it is possible that some Of the
Non-Partizan delegates at large,
who have suffered most, may be
beaten by Workingmen, but it is
impossible to yet decide. No
changes have been shown as to pre-
vious estimates on county and
joint delegates. Marin, which has
been claimed by both parties,
elects the Workingmen's candi-
date, which will give them 81 dele
gates in the Convention, with the
chance of electing some delegate 3
at large.
Opening Of che Long R"osi - Css-
wasting Election Returns.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-There
was a good attendance to-day at
the opening of Maurice Dore's auc-
ton sale Of stocks. Most of the
time was devoted to arranging the
preliminaries of business. One lot
of fifty shares of Ophir went at $50,
which was the only transaction.
To- morrow and thereafter during
the week, with the exception of the
4th and Saturday there will be both
morning and afternoon sales.
The work Of canvassing the elec-
tion returns began this morning
1t is not likely to be completed be-
fore the 4th inst, and perhaps moi
until the close of the week, owing
to the great number of names OF
the tickets.

Reform the Supervisors.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-.To-day J
Solon Pattee, a city expert, on be.
half Of the Finance Committee
swOre out a warrant for the arrest
of Richard M. Clarken, ex-Clerk o.
the City Criminal Court. For some
time past Pattee, in connection
with Clarken, has been going ovel
the latter's accounts and finds
Clarken indebted to the city in the
sum of $3.50. The examination
disclosed the fact that Clarken kept
no cash book of money received
from fines. The expert had to take
the minutes of the City Criminal
Court, Judge FerraPs, to ascertain
the amount of the fines imposed
and then refer to the com mitments
to ascertain the sentences that had
been served in prison. He was
charged with the fines imposed and
credited with the commitments.
Mr.. Ciarken says he will be able to
explain everything to the satisfac-
tlon of the community; that the dis.
crepancies arise from the multitude
| CT the cases, but that he has not
prot:ted unlawfulIy to the extent OF
a single cent, Clarken was ar
rested to-day On this charge of fell
ony in connection with tho alleged
embezzlement. Hearing that a
warrant had been issued for his ar.
rest he came to the City Hall and
waited in the office of the Captain
of the Police until the officer hav-
ing the warrant returned from q
fruitless search. Bail was fixed at
$4,000, which he furnished.
The Board of Supervisors held a
special meeting this afternoon.
The resignation of Henry Brick wes
del as a member of the Board was
received and laid over for one
week. Mr.. Brickwedel assigned as
his reason for resigning that GER
tain departments of the city gov
ernment were not conducted with
that economy which, in his judg-
ment, should be exercised and hav,
ing little inclination aud less time
to devote himself to the task OF u
fecting a reform, be thought proper
to tender his resig nation in the
hope that some citizen with time
at his disposal could be selected to
carry out much needed reforms.
