CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.
The Reps. Will Meet Next Saturday

The republican congressional commit

Maybe there are not hosts of candi-
dates for the nomination. Fresno has
DR.. Rowell, who wants to air his elo-
quence in halls congressional. Ventura
has Mr.. Wilde, who is like his name in
his frantic desire to get Gen. Vandever's
place. Tulare has Oregon Sanders, who
wants the place. Oregon always wants
it. There has not been campaign in
ten years of which it might not be said,
"Where rolls the Oregon Monterey's s
''favorite son" is named Moorhouse, and
San Diego has a whole family of the like
in General Murray, Judge Luce, Judge
Puterbaugh and Mr.. Bowers. There are
nine or ten counties still to hear from
with their med. Los Angeles is like the
man that jumped out of the balloon on
the proposition. She wan is the COVER
nor; no more, no less.
1t is somewhat significant that among
all the names mentioned there is not
even an echo of Vandever.

work later. The company expects to

BERLIN, May 9.-Diplomatists believe
that Caprivi will soon resign the chan
cellorship. He is said to be disgusted
with the details of the work of the for
eign office, and not in sympathy with
the officials under him.
In the upper house of the Prussian
diet Count Pfeil, of the extreme right,
moved that the government take meas
ures to remedy the evils arising from the
large number of Jewish pupils in the
superior schools. He declared that the
existing condition constituted social
danger.
Won Gessler, minister OF public instruc-
ton, said it was impossible to exclude
the Jews from any educational estab-
lishment. Such an attempt would force
the nation into position leading to dis
ruption, instead of union. The motion
was adopted.
The emperor received the president
and vice-presidents of the reichstag The
emperor referred to the Importance of
the new military bill, the demands of
which he said were limited to urgent

More Tariff Talk.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-At the evening
session of the house the tariff debate
was continued.
Wike attacked the policy of protec-
ton.
Kerr, of Iowa, opposed bounties. In
the statement OF the bounty on sugar it
was his opinion the foreign producer
would get four-fifths of the advantage of
taking the duty off sugar. He was op-
posed to taxing one American industry
for the benefit of another.
Fithian, of Illinois, voiced like views
Morse protested against the long and
short haul clause of the law, and argued
that the remedy was to return to the
let-alone policy.
Goodnight opposed the bill
Atkinson regretted that the bill did
not repeal the tobacco tax and place
a protective duty on sugar.
Walker argued against the bill.
Foreman, of Illinois, briefly opposed
the bill, and at 10:30 the house ad
iOurned.

AFTER BOB PLATT.
They Are Trying Hard to Make Him
Wear That Collar,

The fight on r. S. Platt, the tax col
lector, is waxing hotter. The ring re-
publicans are after his scalp, and no one
seems to know just why. He did not
make his statement to the board of
supervisors yesterday as proposed, for
the reason that his men had not got
done footing up the accounts. He was
allowed another day to do the work.
Yesterday three of his bondsmen made
application before Judge Clark to be
permitted to withdraw from his bond.
They are Captain J. Frankenfi eld,
Hervey Lindley and H. G. Wilmer. 1t
is not seriously claimed that Platt is
short dollar in his accounts, and what
all this hubbub is about is something
so mysterious that it is past finding out.
What does the ring want of Platti that
he cannot dc, that so hot a fight is made
on him?

The Oil Trusts HaraSSer.

New York, May 9.-In 1886 George
Rice, an oil refner, well-known by his
long litigation against the Standard Oil
trust, purchased from T. B. Mallaby
certificate for five shares in the trust.
He asked the trust to issue for it new
certificate in his name. The trust re-
fused on the ground that he secured the
shares only to harass and annoy it, He
brought suit and some time ago the spe-
cial term of the supreme court rendered
a decision ordering the Standard Oil
trust to make the transfer as requested.
Today the general term of the supreme
court reversed this order, holding that
the transfer is at the discretion of the
trust

Fire Underwriters Combining.

New YORK, May "a gigantic local
fire insurance combination is in process
of formation in this city. There are in
the metropolis in the neighborhood OF
140 fire insurance companies carrying on
business. Several times in the last fif-
teen years combinations have been
formed to raise insurance rates and
lower brokers' commissions, but each
time there has been a collapse. For
some time there has been quiet talk
among insurance men of getting up an
other combination, but with stringent
rules which will make it impossible for
a collapse to occur. The present pro-
iected organization is the result.
