THE COUNCIL.
A Day Spent in Canvassipg
Election Returns.
CONTEST IN THE FIRST WARD
The Southern Pacific Railroad Fran
chise Again Goes Over-C0n-
tinued to Monday.

The Council met yesterday morning,
President Humphreys in the chair and
Messrs. Teed, Moriarty, Barrett, Lowell,
Cohn, Hanley, sinsabaugh, Book, Bos-
byshell, Chandler. Hitler and Gibbs
present.
Mr.. Cohn moved that the Council pro
ceed 10 canvass the returns of the ballots
cast at the election. Carried.
Mr.. Sinsabaugh asked for information
as to whether it was proper to canvass
the returns at an adjourned meeting, and
it was decided that it was.
Judge R. Dunnigan asked permission
to make an objection to the count OF the
ballots at the precincts of the First ward,
on behalf of Mr.. Patterson, the Demo
cratic candidate for Councilman. He
said that he had been informed that a
number of votes cast for Mr.. Patterson
had not been counted on the ground that
they were not cast for him for the right
term.
Mr.. G. Wiley Wells also appeared on
behalf of Mr.. M. D. Johnson, candidate
for Treasurer, and asked that the entire
city vote he recounted.
It was suggested that it might be better
for the protestsnts to wait until the can
vass had been made, and then it might
be found that it would not be necessary
to enter protest.
Mr.. Book moved that the Council set
aside day when the whole matter
could be settled.

PAY RESTORED.
How the Ten Per Cent. Question
Was Settled.


The conference between the Santa Fe
and its California employees regarding
the ten per cent. cut has ended satisfac-
torily. The meeting was opened yester-
day morning in General Manager Nc
Cool's Office in the Phillips block with
full representation of all the branches
interested. The question of ten per
cent. reduction of wages, or a retrench-
ment of the working forces which would
mean a similar amount, was the vital
point considered, and after adjournment
for lunch and another debate in
the afternoon the following ar
rangements were made: The heads
OF the department., clerica', +,
train-dispatching, telegraph and agency
departments are to make the ten per
cent. reduction on their pay-rolls by dis.
missing such of their force as will by
their salaries equal that amount. The
wages are therefore restored to their
former basis and the boys are happy
again, A number of them will be Ger.
tainly thrown out OF employment and
those that remain will have more work to
do, but this is considered a lesser evil
than the reduction. 1t was stated at
headquarters last night that the force
will be cut down TO the required stand
ard as soon as the arrangements can be
made. but it is not likely that any re-
signatons will be demanded before the
1st of January.

declaring of the result in the First ward
for Councilmen until recount could be
had. He claimed that a number ol
ballots would be found on which Mr..
Patterson's name appeared, which votes
had not been counted.
The objection to the Second ward
count was withdrawn, it being shown
to the contestants that even if the pre-
cincts they objected to were thrown out,
there would be no difference in the
result.
On motion Of Mr.. Cohn, recount Of
the ballots in the First ward was ordered
and the balance of the afternoon was
consumed in recounting the vote for
Councilmen in the first two precincts Of
that ward. The balance of the count
will be finished this morning.
Mayor Workman appeared and asked
that the Council amend the franchise to
the San Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit
Railroad. The Chair held that as the
Mayor would not veto the ordinance il
could not be acted upon, as it was out oi
the hands OF the Council.
Adjourned until 10 O'Clock this
morning.

face of the returns and the candidates
could afterwards take the applications

A Mldshinman,s Chest.

[Lteia. f Harrison Smith, r. n, al 81. Methodist
Each chest contains all the worldly posses
svns of one officer, which, thus packed, are as
inaccessible as they well can be. Immediately
under the lid are three or four shallow trays
One of these is fitted as a washstand, with
basin, mug, soap-dish and receptacle for tooth
brushes. Another till is a sort of loose box for
everything; while a third contains miscella-
neous collection of neck ties, bandkerchiefs,
pipes, money and limited stock of jewelry.
Under these trays, and packed more or less
tidily, according to the tendencies of the ma
rine servant who Clocks after" each young
gentleman, are his uniforms, suits of plain
clothes, boots, linen and articles of haberdash-
cry. After this explanation my readers will
not find it difficult to understand why the ex-
preston, everything on top and nothing at
hand, like Nidshipman's chest is commonly
applied to any chaotic disarrangement on board
ship.
