VS.. F. G. Edwards and d. J. Mahony, an
action to GUST from Office as Fire Commits
sioners, was argued In Judge Skaters de-
partment yesterday.
The Judge. at conclusion of argument,
expressed his conviction that the defend

Tie SUPERVISORS have no power to bill such
vacancies, for the Governor is in office for the
purpose among other things, of making Just
such appointments. vacancy IN Office does
not properly occur at The expiration OF the term
II is merely the vacancy OF The tenancy OF Office
Continuing his remarks, the Judge stated
that his decision merely followed the we'll
known practice of the United States Senate,
which held that a vacancy of the term is
ground for an appointment The same
decisions had been made in Vermont and
even in California. and man began TO
hold office from the time of his appoint
ment.
The plaintiffs, therefore, may lawfully
assume the duties of Fire Commissioners.

was being taken to the asylum at San
Rafael by Superintendent Kane of the
Youths Directory. ran away ON Market
street yesterday mo rning and gave Officer
Boyd of the Boys and Girls Aid Society,
lively chase.
Masters had given the police an endless

him. AS his custodian had two other lads
on the way to the San Rafael Asylum
young Masters thought he would have no
difficulty in escaping, but Officer Boyd hap
pened to be on hand and tested his running

Claims of Los Angeles Men on the Semi
tOrial Struggle.
There are a number Of Colonel Mark
hams Los Angeles friends in this city for
the purpose Of aiding him in his fight. and
they are urging most strenuously that the
defeat of the former for the nomination
would materially reduce Senator Stanford's
chances for reelection. They point to the
fact that Stephen NJ. White has the in
dorsement of the south for the Senate and
that it will require all Of Markham's popu-
larity in the south to prevent the Demo
Gratis carrying number Of Assembly and
Senatorial districts which were Republican
two years ago. With any other than Mark
ham at the head of the ticket, they claim
that White would make fight that would
endanger the Republican chances of secur-
Ing majority of the Legislature, and there
are, it may be said, great many shrewd
politicians in san Francisco who take the
same view of the matter.

fued by Secretary Noble.
WASHINGTON, Jaly 2i.-Secretary Noble
to-day reversed the decision of Commits
siOner Sparks in rejecting the claim of the
Central Pacific Railroad to certain land in
Salt Lake City, Utah, and in allowing
James ?. Robson to make a homestead
entry thereon. This reversal was based on
the ground that Henry Booth, who had
made the entry and disposed of the same to
Robson, was an alien, and the Secretary
holds that an alien can acquire no right to
public land before filing his intention of be-
coming a citizen. Robson had improve
ments valued at $500 thereon.
