OAKLAND.-The official canvass of the
Votes cast in Alameda County is going on
slowly before the Supervisors, and last
evening SO of the 80 Irecincts had been
gone over. The interest in the count did
not bring out as large a crowd as on the
first day, but the friends of the close can
dldstes were early on hand and stayed
until the last name was called at the finish.
There were several changes In the bal
lots, as compared with the unofficial list,
during the day, but nothing worthy Of
mention occurred.
1t is just possible that before the official
count is concluded Alameda County may
add another Republican Assemblyman to
the delegation, making it solid. In the
Forty-ninth Assembly District the run be-
tween Collins (R.) and Mcdonald 3D. is
very close. The first day the count took
five votes from Mcdonald. leaving him
only six in the lead, and yesterday the re-
count further reduced this by taking five
more from him in the First Precinct of the
Third Ward. This gives Mcdonald lee
way of only one vote. and the Berkeley
precincts are YET to be counted. The vote
now stands: Melon aid S51. Collins $50.
Louis Schaffer. who was the Republican can
didate for the Shrivalty at the lale election,
was yesterday again Installed as Chief Of Po-
lice py the Police Commissioners. Chief pro
tenn. Fletcher will drop back into his old posi-
ton as police captain.

items, the expenditure of 10 cents for coffee aud
dUughnuts for the refreshment of deDonenI: that
said deponent did not receive the aforesaid coffee
and doughnutS and that said II. j. Waters can
show voucher for said exu enditure; that under
40 circumstances could said II. j. Waters have
prevailed upon deponent either by threats or
coaxiBg to receive ana deVour the said particular
refres ents, inssmuch as deponent Is a strictly
temperate person and eschews coffee Hires root
beer, Contra Costa water and other Intoxicating
