NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OF.
Santa Clara's Grand Jury Finds Much
tn Commend.

SAN JOSE, Feb. S-.The Grand Jury ad-
Journed this afternoon, after ming
lengthy report, consisting for the most
part OF fulsome praise of the county ON
clals for what they are literally paid too
when the Grand Jury was impaneled they
were specially instructed by Judge Lori
gan that such matter as this should have
no place In the report, and that 1t was
nauseatlng TO the general public
reference Is made to the action taken In
the case OF ID. NJ. LIE onard, the wrecker OF
the Santa Clara Bank, and to the fact tha
partial report had been filed recommend
ing the dismissal of Pat Condron, the
superintendent of the Almshouse, for
gross misconduct. Various improvements
IN public buildings are also recommended,
and also that the county cease insuring
such and carry it's own risks.
The Sunday closing of places where in
tOxicating liquors are SOLD is Endorsed, and
1t is said If they were closed up a great
deal more Of the time the county govern
ment's expenses would be materially re-
duced. 1t is requested that the law
library of the county be forthwith taken
from the private building where it is now
located and be placed in the Assessors old
office. The condition of the public high
ways and roads Of the county is reported
to be most excellent, over 200 miles being
kept constantly sprinkled during the dusty
season. 1t Is suggested that when the
county owns its own water works on the
public highways. watering-trOughs should
be- erected.
In conclusion. the Alviso harbor is
touched upon. Statistics show the recess
sity of cheap transportation as means of
success to Santa Clara County producers,
and as from the mouth OF Alviso Slough
the channel is now navigable for three and
half miles by vessels of $50 tons burden.
the Board of Supervisors are requested to
inquire into the possibility of the improve
ment of the harbOr, TO enable the trans
portatiOn of the products of this county to
market by water, thereby saving annually
immense sums of money to the taxpayers.

in attendance today for the first time
since his sister was murdered. All at
tempts to secure statement from the ac-

the case When he was question ed by At

COMPROMISE ON suvpn
Administration Men Started :;
to Filibuster.
THE SECRETARY CAME DOWN
There Were Several Consultations
and the Result Was That All
Obstruction Ceased.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The deadlock on
BANDS silver seigni0rage bill was broken
after four hours continuous flibusterlng
to-day. when by vote of TIC to the
House carried BANDS motion, going into
committee of the whole for the considera-
ton of the DILL. The Eastern Democrats
and the great mass of Republicans made
determined opposition, but Bland was
victorious. On the final vote 10 Repuh,i-
cans and all the Populists voted with him
while % Democrats joined with the re-
mainder of the Republicans in refusing to
vote. 1t is thoroughly understood that
quite number of the Democrats who
voted with Bland were not in favor Of
certain sections of the BILL although thew
would not carry their opposition 10 the
extent or voting against consideration. It
is also we'll known that Secretary Carlisle
and the administration generally is on
posed to the bill in It's present form
After the consideration of tue bill began
Carlisle arrived at the Capitol and had a
conference with several leading Demo
Gratis of the House, as we'll as with those
Democrats who were managing the fill
buster, and just before adjournment
the announcement was officially made on
the floor by Tracey that no further attempt
to ilibu ster against the consideration Of
the bill would be made. This is taken 10
mean that compromise has been agreed
upon, and certain concessions will be
made. in line with the suggestions of
Carlisle. who. while represented as not
being against the coinage of the silver
seigniorage, yet insists that discretionary
power ought to be lodged with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury about issuing the
seigniorage. either in the form of certif-
Gates or coin, SO it would not be injected
in lump into the circulating medium of
the country. He maintains that it would
be as injurious to put out S55. 000, 900 sud-
denly as it would be to withdraw that
amount from the circulating medium, and
he is also opposed. it is understood, to the
second section of the bill. which makes
mandatory the coinage of the rest of the
bullion In the treasury and the redemption
of outstanding treasury notes under the
act of 1890 as fast as coinage takes place.
After the adoption of the motion to go
into committee of the whole Hatch took
the chair and Bland took the floor in ad-
vocacy of his bill. He entered at once
upon an explanation of It's provisions but
without concluding his speech yielded to
a motion for the committee to rise the ar
raDgement having been that the filibuster
was 10 cease. With this understanding,
upon BANDS motion, so much of the reso-
luton passed last night as directed the
sergeant-at-arms to arrest absentees was
revoked. and at 80 the House adjourned.

without material injury. Two men were
