PACIFIC COAST.
Democratic Votes Cast Out
in Montana.
REPUBLICANS FILLED WITH JOY
Complexion of the Legislature
Changed by Mere Techni-
cality-Other Topics.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN FRANCISCO, October l4.--The Eram-
iner's Helena, Mont, special SAYS: In can
wasting the vote in Silver Bow county to-
day the Board of Canvassers threw cut
precinct which gave ia Democratic ma
jority. By this action the Republicans
secure the entire Legislative delegation
in the county, numbering eleven mem
bers, giving them majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature. The returns
on their face show that the Democrats
would have had five majority on joint
ballot, with one member tie.
The grounds on which the precinct was
rejected are that there were three in
stead of five judges Of election; that the
count was conducted by the three judges
in secret, the clerks being excluded, and
that the returns showed more votes
counted than polled.
Judge DsWolfe has been appealed to
by the Democrats for writ of mandamCs
to compel the Board Of Canyassers to
count the rejected precinct.
|
He. ENA, Mont, October lathe In
dependent says: The canvassers in Sill
yer Bow county today threw out the vote
in what is known as the railroad pre-
cinct, which gave Democratic
majority of ia. This action,
if upheld by the courts, will
seat the entire Republican delegation
from that county--eleven members, over
come the Democratic majority in the
Legislature, ard give the Republicans
control of the Legislature. The Demo
cratic managers will ask for writ OF
mandamus to compel the canvassers to
count the rejected precinct. The throw
ing out of this vote, while reducing
Toole's vote for Governor, does not over
come his majority.
The members of the Democratic State
Committee feel confident an order will
be issued by the Judge, compelling the
canvassers to count the vote. The Su
preme Court several years ago decided
in @ case of the same kind, that il the
votes we're legally cast, the fact that &
less number of Judges than provided by
law presided at the election did no
vitiate the returns.

THERE bids fair to be q memorable
Issue of veracity between Col. Whaling,
Of the Beard of Education, scholar, a
gentleman and patriot, as we'll az a
good squsre-toed Democrat and white
MANN fact Col. Whaling is the Hercu-
les of the Los Angeles Democracy, hsv-
ing to uphold on his stalwart shoulders
the whole superstructure and fabric, so
to speak, of the as yet purely prospective
Democratic ascendancy hereabouts-and
one Paul Wack, who is understood to
be willing to take 500 front foot for a
school site rendered by the said Wack,
unto the City Of Los Angeles. Unto the
said Wack, thus benevolently inclined
to the city, with an oblique reference to
his own pocket, came Col. Whaling, with
an allegation that he could buy lots in
the same block for $25 a front foot
Still further in the premises came Wack
yesterday before the Council, making
affidavit essentially to his belief that
Col. Whaling was, to employ smile of
the aborigine, man of a forked tongue
and that the spirit Of truth abided not
in him. Both are gentlemen of i'm
petuous tempers and it may be safely
said that the end is not yet. That Col.
Whaling will maintain his high reputa-
ton for fearlessness and his acknowl-
edged post as the watchdog of the city
treasury, cannot be doubted. 1t is safe
to assume that the public will await de.
velopments in this momentous issue
joined with an absorbing interest.

A TEST CASE.
Complaint Against the Cotton Mo.
tor Road.

SAN FRANCISCO, October IA letter
from Gavin D. High, advance agent Of
the new California on Wheels" exhibit,
has been received by the Railroad Com
mission, and mis- plant is against the
Southern California Motor Railroad Com
pany, which he charges with extortion.
He recently jumped on the motor between
Cotton andSan Bernardino and was obliged
to pay five cents extra, or twenty cents
in all, for the privilege Of riding to the
latter city without ticket. Mr.. High
formally states that if the road is oper-
ated under the laws of the State it ought
to make an annual report. II not, it has
no right, as street car line, to charge
additional fare to passengers who travel
without u ticket.

ought to have been suffered to exist,
these lands have really never been too
high. The man who buys them the
coming fall and Water will know that
he is getting good thing-something
far preferable to three per cent. a month,
compromising monthly. If the best
lands of Los Angeles county are not
worth one third as much as those Of
Santa CLARA county we are wrong in this
postulate. But we strongly incline te
think we are right.

EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE.
Territorial Missionaries Make In
terest1ng Reports.

teresting Reports.
New YORK, October 14.-In the Pro
testant Episcopal Convention today {
missionary meeting began at noon. Rev
Daniel Leonard, Bishop Of Nevada and
Utah, spoke of the decadence of Nevada
and how the population has fallen under
10000. In Utah the Mormon question
ia far from settled. When he first wen,
there he thought he knew something
about it, but now, after years of work, he
confessed that it puzzled him.
Rev. John Mills Kendrick, missionary
to New Mexico and Arizona, occupied
the greater portion of his time in de-
scribing the physical appearance of his
diocese and the necessity for irrigation.
Many of his constituents are Mexicans
and Indians who cannot be reached
through the English language. He
thought that before money was spent in
churches and schools, new men should
be sent into this field. Five active mis-
slonsries are needed. The Indians are
but little better than pagans, and church
work should begin among them.
AT the afternoon session Rev. W. B.
Gordon, appointed as counsel to the Epis-
copal workers in Mexico, reported good
progress. "There are but two classes in
Mexico" said tie speaker, "The higher
class are infidels. The lower class are
infidels. If any man wants to see the
need of a mission let him come with me
to Mexico. If he cannot see the need of
overcoming it's superstition and the ig-
norance OF its inhabitants, he ia uncon-
vinceable."
The committee to whom was referred
the report of the Board of Managers of
Foreign and Domestic Missions, regard
ing the proposed million dollar endow.
ment fund which failed in its purpose,
suggested that the money be returned to
the subscribers. This matter was laid
over.
The Committee on Colored Evsngeliz.
alton moved that $4,000 be appropri-
ated for the committee for the ensuing
two years. Carried.
