The wUrktn.Enen LaSs Night
KeNrsey la the Ascendant.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 10lh-The
Workingmen held number of
Ward meetings last evening, at
which the proceedings were quiet,
several of the Clubs combining their
business to the election of delegates
to the County Convention. The
Ninth Ward Club took up Kear-
ney's quarrel, deposed all of its oili-
GERS and recalled all its representa-
tives from the County Committee.
Threats of violence were expressed
against member of the Club
named Woods, who took an active
part in excluding Kearney and his
cohorts from the horticultural Hall
last night. Woods prudently kept
away from the meeting of the Club.
The Scandinavian Club which, at
its last meeting, took action in fa-
vor of the County Committee side
OF the question, rescinded that ac-
ton and voted to withdraw its del
egates from the County Committee.
Kearney was present with a num-
Der who were not members of the
Club, but these latter withdrew be-
fore the vote was taken and the de-
cision may be considered that of
the Club. Kearney is bestirring
himself in all directions to recover
his lost ground and seems to be
meeting with considerable success
in his endeavors.
Mare Stealing Developed.
SAN Francisco, May 1Olh.-
Stealing has been discovered in
another branch of the city govern
ment. The Board of Education
has been looking after Mr.. Duffy,
storekeeper of the Board. and find
that he has been converting proper
ty of the Department to his own
use to considerable extent. The
amount of his pilferpg has not yet
been ascertained. An investiga-
ton is progressing informally.
The An,.Kenrney Me" Not pis.
cOuraged.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 10TH
Notwithstanding the apparent sue.
cess achieved by Kearney last
night in moulding the Ward clubs
to his wishes the County Commit
tee express confidence in their
ability to carry larger and better
portion of the party with them in
the interest of lawful organization,
leaving Kearney with what they
term the -'rabble" for his immedi-
ate following. 1t is claimed by
them that, at all Ward meet
ings, ostensibly swung in the
Kearney interest, the same lot
of faces may be recognized; that a
few hundred men, organized for the
purpose, make it their business,
when required, to attend meetings
of Ward Clubs and overawe and
out-vote the legitimate members,
but that such action cannot long be
maintained without defeating its
own objects. l.,
congregational.
WASHINGTON, May 10-SENATE.
The President pro tenn laid be-
fore the Senate II communication
from the Grand Army of the Re-
public, Inviting the Senate to at
tend the memorial services, at Ar.
lington Cemetery, on Decoration
Day. Laid on the table.
The Senate then resumed consid-
Grafton of the Indian appropria-
ton bill and amendments submit
ted by Hoar yesterday, authorizing
the President to dispense with the
expenditure of any appropriation
in the bill, providing he may deem
them unnecessary, and the consent
of the tribe shall first be obtained;
and also appropriating ten thou
sand dollars to be expended for the
benefit of tribes in such u manner
as the President may, with their
consent, approve. The bill was
laid on the table; yeas 81, nays 16.
The question was then ON the
amendment Of the Committee on
Appropriations providing that the
several appropriations made for
teachers, millers, blacksmiths, en-
gineers, and other employees on res
ervations and for various supplies
for Indians, may be diverted to
| other uses for the benefit of the In
lians, by the discretion of the Presi-
dent and with the consent of the
tribes, which was reported as q sub
stitute for the third, fourth and
fifth sections of the House bill
er of Indian Affairs to employ In
dians in farming and other civilized
avocations and pay them out of the
money appropriated for subsistence
when 1t can be spared, ETC.; also
authorizing the Secretary Of the
Interior in case of emer-
gency, requiring immediate ac-
ton, to use the funds
appropriated for other purposes.
This was agreed upon with an
amendment submitted by Hoar,
striking out the word teachers"
so that the fund appropriated for
them should not be diverted. ALI
son submitted an amendment pro.
viding that no purchase Of supplies
exceeding in the aggregate, the
value Of $500, shall be made at any
one time without advertisement ex-
cept in case of emergency when
purchases may be made in the open
market not exceeding $4,000 in
