that the Standard oil company had been

THE PROGRAM FIXED.


An agreement in the nature OF COM
promise has at last been reached by the
two parties in the House as to the limit of
the general debate on the tariff bill At
meeting ofthe ways and means committee
this morning the following resolution was
adopted: On Tuesdays and Wednesdays
and Thursdays the House shall rise $50
O'Clock p. H. and reassemble at o'clock
p. M, the evening session to be for debate
on the tariff only. On Mondays and
Saturdays the session shall end at $50
o'clock y. m. No change shall be made
in the present ruleas to sessions on Friday
night. General debate on the tariff bill
shall continue seventeen days after today,
excluding Sundays, and also any inter
ruptions ordered by the House, all gem

thus be . seen that the minority

so far rs the length of time
TO be consumed is concerned. They
yielded 10 the majority on the question
Of night sessions, but since they were only
desired, the hope that the debate would be
thereby shortened on this point can hard
" be considered of great value. The Re
publicans were aided in their plans by Mr..
Bynum, the Democratic member OF the
committee from Indiana, who was Of the
opinion that all the time they desired
should be given them; that their object
in forcing this extension OF the de-
bate had only for its purpose
consumption OF time, and did not arise
from any extraordinary interest or atten-
tention they desired TO pay TO the question
under discussion was proved in the House
today. Mr.. Bynum and Mr. Brown, both
from Indiana, and both members OF the
ways and means committee, occupied the
early part OF the day in q discussion OF this
subject. Yet at no time during Mr.
Bynums speech were there more than
twenty or thirty Republicans in their
seats When Mr.. Brown commenced, this
number was reinforced by the Indiana
member and one or two others, but at the
time he concluded most of these had re-

THE PLOT FAILED.
AIRS. Elliott Arrested for Attempting ths
Ruin OF a Young Girl.

AIRS. Elliott Arrested tor Attempting the
Ruin OF Young Girl.
Mrs. c. J. Elliott, who for some time past
has kept disreputable GROCERY on Sixth
street, between G and n, and who has been
arrested last evening by officer Carroll on
charge of seduction. The complaint was
sworn to by girl named Lena Phillips,
and if her story is true Mrs. Elliott will
probable spend good long term in the
I State Prison. The girl, who is between IA
and 10 years Of age, says that on Thursday
last she and her mother went to Ward e.
y Brlen's employment office, on Clay street,
between Kearny and Montgomery streets,
San Francisco, seeking employment. When
they left the place there were followed BY
Mrs. Elliott, who overlooked them oppo-
ate the plaza and asked if they were look
ing for work. They replied in the affirma-
tive, and she told them she was in the in
surance business in Sacramento, and
needed someone to do her writing After
further talk they agreed to accompany her
to this city, Mrs Elliott paying their fare
She told them that she also kept an inn, so
that when they arrived here on Thursday
night they were not much surprised at the
place they were taken to.
Nothing occurred on Thursday night to
arouse their suspicious, but on Friday
they noticed Indians coming into the place
and Mrs. Elliott selling whisky to them.
On Friday night Mrs. Elliott had some In
dams in the house and made the most out
rageous proposals TO Mrs Phillips and her
yonng daughter on their behalf She also
made the same disgusting proposal to the
daughter on behalf OF Chinaman who she
said had plenty of money, and urged her
10 accept. The two women then made up
their minds to leave, but Mrs Elliott re-
fused to let them take their trunks.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Phillips and her
daughter went to the city prison and re-
ported the case. A complaint was drawn
up charging Mrs. Elliott with seduction and
was sworn 10 by the daughter. When Mrs.
Elliott was brought into the station house
last evening by officer Carroll she protested
her innocence loudly. Her voice was at
once recognized by an Indian girl about
fifteen years of age who was in one of the
cells, and who had been arrested by officers
Carroll and Rider in beastly state of in
toxication. and who said that Mrs. Elliott
sold her beer.

THE SUPERVISORS, CASE.
A Statement From the Accused Parties
CONCERNING the Salary Question.

A Statement From the Accused Parties
Concerning the Salary Question.
EDS. RECORD. UNION: Referring to the
accusation" against US, copy of which
was published in the evening Bee of Satur-
day last, we wish to say to the public that
the charges made in it are totally false
While we propose 10 submit our answer and
proof to the Court in the case we respect
fully ask the public to suspend Judgment
until the case is properly heard aud de.
termined in the Courts The charges are
without any foundation IN fact and we
think are made at this time solely for DO
litical effect and to crafty the spite of some
one who is not the ''accuser" named in the
accusation" referred to. The charges are
frivolous and untrue on their face The
Supervisors of this county do not and
never did charge or collect any fees for any
services whatever. The salaries of the Su-
pervisors is fixed by law, and since the 17lh
day of March, 1887, that salary has been
S75 per month. (See Statutes of 1885, D, I6S
and Statutes of 1887, D. 1897
The Supervisors do not and have not
since 1888 audited or had anything TO dc
with allowing or auditing their claims fol
salary. That duty is imposed by law upon
the County Auditor, who must draw his
warrant for such salary as the law pro.
Vides. Statutes and Am. to Codes of 1888
p. 1863.
The statute which fixed the salary of SUI
pervisors in this county at S75 per month
went into effect March II, 1887. We are
informed that the Auditor drew our salary
warrants at $50 per month from April, 1887
after asking and receiving legal advice, and
upon and according to the advice of his at.
torney. We have simply received the
salary which the Legislature said we are
entitled to, and which the auditing officer
of the county, acting upon competent Legal
advice rendered to US.
This is charged to be corrupt miscon.
duct in Office. 1t is evident from the ma.
ture of the charges, the standing of the
accuser," and the time and manner o.
presenting them, that the case is trumped
up for political effect, or to crafty personal
spite, and not to subserve public good.
We are conscious of having done nothing
wrong, and ask full and searching inves
tigation of all our official acts, and are MOI
fearful of the result. The object of thi:
whole vicious " accusation is too trans
parent to deceive anyone.

A QUESTION OF LAW.
Accusation Against Supervisors McMullep,
Bates and jackson.


Samuel L. Johnston on Saturday fled in
the Superior Court complaint charging
Supervisors George C. McMullen, S. ].
Jackson and George 0. Bates with NAL
feasance in Office, in having drawn salaries
at the rate of So per month instead of $50
per month, whereupon Judge W. c. Van
Fleet issued citation, directing those Su-
pervisors to appear before him on October
10th, at 10 o'clock A. NJ, and show cause
why they should not be deprived of their
offices as Supervisors and have Judgment
rendered against them in the sum Of $500
each and COSTS and TO answer the accusa-
ton filed by s. l.. Johnston.
The accusation against each is the same.
1t alleges that they were elected in Novem
Der, 1884, duly qualified in January, 1885,
and entered upon the discharge of their
duties; that their terms do not expire until
the first Monday in January; that the sal
airy of the Office of Supervisor at the time
they were elected was ever since has been,
and now is $50 per month; that they have
been guilty of charging and collecting
illegal fees in this: that since the first day
of April, 1887, they have charged and col
lecied SIS per month; that each has me-
elected to perform his duties by allowing
the others to draw $25 each per month in
excess of the amount legally due them.
Messrs. MeMullen, Bates and Jackson
claim that they have drawn only the sal
arv allowed them by law, and in drawing
SIS per month acted under the advice OF
the county's legal advisor.

He said that while the newspapers and the
advertising matter sent East had induced
many people to come to California. the ex-
cursion agents had induced the strangers to
go to Los Angeles. If it was desired to
bring them to Sacramento it would be
necessary TO have agents in the East
to arrange for excursions direct to
this city. He recommended sending
a lecturer East for the next three
months. He said that it was also proposed
