A number came, but the Council stood by

A number came, but the Council stood by
its action and denied their protests.
When the time came to pay the taxes
several taxpayers rendered the Collector
cash for the amount Of tax, less the raise of
20 percent, and demanded a receipt inIfull,
which was refused by Tax Collector
Thompson.
The citizens formed an association, and
decided to make test case. Louis Phil
lips, one of the wealthiest citizens, began
an Injunction suit to enjoin the city from
collecting the raise in the assessment.
Judge Wade granted temporary iDjunc-
ton, and to-day the case is on trial to make
the injunction permanent. Citizens testi-
fed that they had had no notice to appear
before the Board of Equalization. Others
said they had notice, but at the time cited
to appear there was no quorum, and that
the members that were present said the
Council would grant no relief, as the city
needed the money.
All the testimony introduced went to
show that the raise was premeditated,
and that the Council did not intend to
grant relief TO the protestants when called
before the Board.
If the injunction is granted, it will place
the city in an embarrassing position, as it
will have a deficit for the present fiscal
year of nearly 100000.

culated in Santa Rosa and elsewhere that
General Vallejo is dying is premature. Gen.

tirely out of danger, owing to his extreme

MORMON ARGUMENTS.
Why They Object to the Proposed Idaho
Constitution.

Constitution.
WASHINGTON, January 14th.-The Senate
Committee on Territories this afternoon
listened to the statements of the representa-
tives of the Mormon Church, declarative of
the teachings of that Church, in support of
their Argument that the constitution adopt
ed by the people of Idaho for new State
should not be accepted by Congress.
Bishop Bulge, President of the Mormon
Church in Idaho, said he always had been
taught to obey the laws of the land, and in
ferty-two years experience with the Nor
mons, he never knew any teaching to the
contrary. The Mormons, be said, were
taught to believe in the Divine inspiration
of the Constitution of the United States,
and thus believing he said, the Mormons
had higher reverence for it than other
citizens.
The practice of polygamy is decreasing.
On the subject of blood atonement, Bulge
said there was no such principle held or
taught by the Mormon Church.
Delegate Caine presented declaration OF
officials of the Church sent out from Salt
Lake City December 70, 1899. of the teach
ings and doctrines of the Church.
Governor Sharp, of Idaho, said the ex-
penses OF the State Government for Idaho
will necessitate an increase in the tax rate
from four mills to i've and three-quarter
mills.
Ex-Governor Stevenson said if the Nor,
mon Church does not teach publicly or pri.
vately the obligations of plural marriages

the Church authorities at Salt Lake, will

Los ANGELES FINANCE.
The City Fathers Appear to Have Made
a Grand Mistake

Los ANGELES, January 14th-After the
City Council fixed the tax levy for city ex-
penses last spring, they found they had
made a misealculation, and that the
amount levied would not be sufficient by
fifty thousand or more dollars. They ac-
cordingly made raise of 20 per cent. on
the assessment of all property in the busi-
ness center of the city.
There was unanimous objection to this
by the owners of the property. and the
Council sat ss a Board of Equalization, and
cifed the pro.es;ants 10 appear and show
cause why the raise should not be made

The Charge Against Young Dennis Nc
Carthy Dismissed.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 14,h.-The
charge of manslaughter against young
Dennis Mccarthy was dismissed this morn
ing on Judge Rixs order. A week or two
ago a yonng lad named Smith, with sey-
eral others, among them Mccarthy, were
playing ball at Seventh and Harrison
streets. Smith was catcher and Mccarthy
was batter. The former stood too close to
the bat, and when Mccarthy went to hit
the ball he struck Smith blow on the
head, which caused his death.
His Honor said there was no criminal
Carelessness apparent, as the Coroner's in
quest showed that the blow had been acci-
.dentally struck. He therefore ordered the

WANT MORE TARIFF.
Appeals of Manufacturers to the Ways
and Means Committee.


WASHINGTON, January 14th.-Before the
Ways and Means Committee to-day James
Campbell, representing the window glass
manufacturers, asked for the restoration of
the tariff of 1888
Britton Richardson, New Jersey silk
manufacturer, wanted a duty of 80 per
cent. instead of 20 per cent. imposed upon
silk hat trimmings. He complained of the
recent decision of the Supreme Court, de-
claring silk ribbons used exclusively for
hat trimming dutiable at 20 per cent.
State Senator Griggs, of New Jersey, said
the silk trade regarded this decision as the
most serious assault ever sustained by it.
Chairman Mckinley said he would call
the attention of the committee TO the mat
ter, and if consent was secured would take
up this proposition Immediately as a
separate question.
W. +. Wakeman, representing the Cattle
Growers Association, asked a duty of II
cents per pound on manufactured hides,
whether picked or unpickled. There were
many sections of the West were hides were
frequently burned for fuel, the price being
too low to warrant their shipment.

THE BALTIMORE.
Her Builders Earn Premium on Power
of ss30O OO0


WASHINGTON, January 14th-The Star
tonight says: Word was received by the
Navy Department this morning that the
Trial Board on the new cruiser Baltimore,
which sailed yesterday from Philadelphia
70 Norfolk, to be completed by the Govern
ment, has finished its report on the last
trial, which took place about two months
ago. and would have final meeting to-day
for the purpose Of signing the report and
forwarding it to the Secretary.
1t is generally believed at the Department
that the report will show that the vessel on
the last trial made an average performance,
and is entitled to $4,000 premium on her
power DEVELOPMENT. From this figure will
come about SIS, 600 for penalties on the non
completion and the trial expenses, thus
leaving the net premium about $4,000,
1t is said general understanding is, that
the contractors have come out about even
on the actual construction of the vessel, in
which case their profits are represented by
the sum the vessel earned by her surplus

A brilliant Affair.

WASHINGTON, January 14th.-The first
OF the evening state receptions Of President
Harrison's Administration was quite a
brilliant affair. 1t was given in honor of
the diplomatic corps, whose members at
tended more generally than usual This
fact is in part attributable to the presence
of the delegetes to the Pan-American Con.
ference, many of whom had never wit
messed an event of the kind in this country.
Among those present were members OF
the Cabinet, nearly all the Justices OF the
Supreme Court, many Senators and Repre-
sentatives and large number of other
officials. The President was assisted in re-
ceivirg the guests by Mrs. Harrison, Mrs
Morton and nearly all the Cabinet house
holis.

THOSE NEW RULES.
Objectionable to Some Republicans and
all the Democrats


WASHINGTON, January 14th-It begins to
look now as though the new House rules,
understood to have been prepared in COM
mittee, will have to be materially modified
even before they viii prove acceptable TO a
large number of members on the Republi-
can side. several of whom have expressed
a decided disinclination to become parties
to any plan having the faintest semblance
10 an attempt to muzzle the minority or
put stop to the obstruction tactics.
These members say that the time may
possibly come when they will find them
selves in the minority, and that they do
not therefore, desire to become parties 10
any such precedent as is proposed by the
new code. Considering the fact that but
few votes either way are sufficient to form
the balance of power in the House, the seri-
business of this disaffection can be readily
appreciated.

Los ANGELES STREETS.
Her New Charter Is Not Exactly What
She Wanted.

Her New Charter Is Not Exactly What
She Wanted.
Les ANGELES, January 14th.-There is
hardly a city of any size in the State of
California but has trouble over street work,
owing to the fact of the State law govern
ing such Improvements. This city has
been in a questionable situation for some
time from the fact of the conflict of the
Vrooman Act with the new city charter.
During the late flood private bridges and
driveways over the cutters throughout the
city turned the course of the water from
the cutters to the center of the street, wash
ing the latter badly and causing many
thousand dollars of damages.
The Street Superintendent issued an
order that all bridges must be taken up.
The property owners did not comply, con-
sequently the street force are driving about
the city tearing up all private driveways
over cutters. Yesterday the City Council
passed resolution asking the Street Su-
perintendent to desist The latter was
seen to-day and says he will not comply, as
the State Law fixes his duties and makes
him the sole judge of what distractions to
the street.
Considerable feeling is aroused, and what
action the Council will take remains to be
seen.
