WILLIAM BURRAGE, ARTIST
Painting Yosemite and the Colorado
CanVon.

William Burrage, who ranks next to De
Neuvile OF Paris as painter of cycoramas.
has just returned TO San Francisco from Yo.
semitic Valley, where he has been engaged In
making study Of the landscape, with the vie W
10 painting his double cyclorama of the Grand
Canyon OF the Colorado and the wonderful
Yosemite.
This painting Will be. when completed the
largest in the world. measuring 500 feet in
diameter and 1900 feet in circumference. In
the center of the circle an elevated tower, 100
feet high, will be erected so that the spectator
may look down from the top in such a manner
that The perspective Will assume distance OF
1000 feet and lend wonderful charm TO The
scene OF Sentinel Rock, Ell Captain and the
The pine-spotled valley below.
This picture will occupy one side OF the can
vas, while the other will contain The immea sur
able canyon OF the Colorado with its shattered
crags and rushing, roaring torrent tearing
along IT'S ever changing bed. But the whole
picture will be one vast, silent, lIfeess canvas,
with endless territory and charming scenes
spread out upon IL with all the distance height
and color apparent in the original work of God

The drawings VIII take six months to COM
plete, and alter that about eight months TO
properly give II paint and color.
MIR. Burrage has already painted the "Siege
of Paris" Gettysburg" and the picture OF

tion at the late Mdwidter Fair

his finder performs any such wonders, as
he also repudiates the story that was
spread by Billy Goodreum to the effect that
the finder could reproduce what had passed
away-that is. for example, give an accu-
rate representation of $50 piece that was
spent yesterday.
Another sensation was created just be-
fore the steamer lsft the wharf Dy the ar.
rival of Billy Goodreum sporting a shiny
silk tile. Considering that all the others
wore caps or soft hats the contrast was
marked and reproacEful glances were cast
at Billy.
As the steamer pulled out there was a
great hustle in getting cameras out and in
readiness for use. Within five minutes
the deck of the 1t le steamer was ablaze
with the glitter of Furnished metal, and as

OAKLAND. - The fight against Assessor
Leckie Is growing In bitterness. and the Repub

LecKie and Snow.

Snow, who wants to succeed Leckle, took a
rough sho: at the hapless LecKie, and TO cap all
| the Seventh Ward Republican Association
comes out in a circular In scathlng fashion
! against the Assessor. The circular is issued as
an address TO the voters OF the Seventh Ward,
but is being scattered broadcast all over the
county. Ii reads:
The Republican Association OF the Seventh
Ward earnestly desires 90 call the attention OF
voters to the well-known fact that the character
OF delegates TO the county conventions elected at
at such conventions, aud If bad nominations are
made II IS entirely due to the apathy of voters
their Ignorance as TO whom tue delegates voted
Tor Will favor when they meet in convention, and
thus the initial step at the primaries determines
the subsequent nominations.
1t is usually considered impolitic to make ag-
gresslve and personal fight against any candidate
Tor once bus this contest is an exceptional one
and the exigencies of the case seem TO demand 4
departure from the usual rule and that the past
official record of Mr.. Robert Leckie, the present
County Assessor. and who is a candidate for re-
election, be fully shown.
We Will show from Mr.. Leckie's records that in
making his assessments of the property OF the big
corporations he has Disseminated in their favor
TO an extent that will astound every not fam
iliar with the workings of his office.
For instance, the Oakland water front property.
upon which that corporation places q value Of
S6.OOO.UOO, and which experts value at 81, ,l45,-
000 is assessed by Mr.. Leekie at $I37 1896.
The Contra Costa water Company estimates the
value of its property at about S6,00U. 900 and
demanded that the Oakland City Council establish
water rate that would give 1t fair rate of inter.
est on that sum, and on this property experts
place a valuation OF SO. 100000 but Mr.. Leckie
could only find S727 1915 TO assess.
The railroad TRACKS and everything pertaining
to the roadway are assessed by the State Board OF
Equalization, but the improvements of all kinds
and the personal property are assessed by the
County Assessor.
The personal property of the railroad company
in West Oakland yards and on the long wharf
(stee rails ties coal, lumber, etc. is by
Mr. Lecke at sos, ,0OO but careful estimate Of
that property on the first Monday OF March last
(Which any one familiar with the yard then ana
with The changes that have since been made can
closely approximately shows that its value was
then about 81 800, ,000.
The improvements on the railroad property is
valued by experts at $450.0OO, but MIR. Leckie
estimates its value at 100000.

HEYER HAS A SEIGNlORaGE BiLL.
lie Says II Has Been Approved by
Secretary Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 10 -
Mr.. BANDS coinage committee met
to day for the first time since the
silver seigniorage struggle and were
treated to a genuine surprise. Rep,
resentative Meyer, of Louisiana, was
present to urge his bill for coming
the seigniorage and for low interest
bonds and in doing so he stated au-
thoritatively that the measure had
the approval and was in part sug-
gested by Secretary Carlisle, and
in the judgment of the Secretary
would be signed by the President.
The bill, Mr.. Meyer explained,
provided for coming the seigniorage,
and so amended the resumption act
that 3 per cent bonds would in fu-
ture be issued in lieu of the Az and
per cent bonds. Mr. Meyer added:
"The bill was submitted to Secre-
tary Carlisle with the suggestion
that | did not wish to introduce it
unless there was some assurance of
its approval. Mr.. Carlisle consider
ed it several days and suggested
several changes. From these the
present bill was framed, which, in
the opinion of Carlisle, was broad
enough to meet all emergencies"
The measure was discussed by the
committee, but no conclusion was
reached upon it,

There was an old gentlemen who
passed though Mexico with a small
prairie schooner on Friday, busted
in every sense of the word. His
wagon was worn out and would
hardly hold together standing still.
His team was composed of a small
iennet and large rickety old mare.
This gentleman was bound for Quin.
cy from the Cherokee strip and his
outfit attracted good deal of atten-
ton while in Mexico. About year
ago he went West with $4,000,
some good stock and a wife, three
daughters, two sons, and had good
health himself. He is crawling
back cripple with one son, and
begging for living. His wife and
children died and he lost all his
money in land investments and
through the illness of his family.
He was as pitiable an object as we
have eseen for many a day.

SERIOUS VIEW TAKEN.
Senators Believe a Presidential Proc

garding COxey.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 19-
Inquiry concerning the proceedings
of the executive session of the Senate
yesterday develops the fact that
Senators take a more seriousview of
the prospective gathering of Coxey-
ties and others here than the first re-
port would seem to indicate. The
opinion is expressed by Senators
who participated in the executive
proceedings that in view Of these
precedents and the emergency that is
likely to arise President Cleveland
would be justified in issuing a proc
lamation warning the men now on
their way to the city in connection
with Coxey's movement that the
authorities will be prepared to require
he strictest observance of order.
The opinion is also freely express
ed in the Senate and was advanced
in executive session that Congress
can not afford and should do moth
ing looking to the sustenance of the
Coxey army while here. 1t is ex-
pected that if large body of men
should assemble as is now regarded
as probable that they will soon find
themselves more anxious to secure
food to sustain life than money to
build roads, and will be more clam
orous for an appropriation to that

A Cow ON n Church Roof.

The conquering Of the cactus in a
little Mexican town on the south
bank of the Rio Grande furnished
gentleman of Dallas, Tex, with in
spiration for the following: sin
this particular town there was
good sized church with a fiat roof.
A large number of cactus seeds had
lodged in '.he moss on the roof of
the church, and in the course of
time there was big crop of cactus
Iup there. Now it is the custom
when they want to destroy this
thing to first burn off the thorns, ,and
then the cattle will eat the plant.
The people became tired of seeing
the plants on their church, and a
mass meeting was called to devise
some means of getting rid of the
things.
"After celebrating for some time
a man was hoisted to the roof, and
after three days labor had burned
the thorns from all the stalks. A
cow was then hoisted to The roof,
| and in about a week there was moth
left on the roof but the COW, which
was lowered to the earth again. The
people were delighted with the re
suit, and now point with pride to
their church.

"don't talk to me about such non.
sense.'
''But you have received letter
from Mr.. Stoll in which he seems to
almost threaten your life?"
81 do not know anything about
it," said the Judge, in a way that
indicated that he did not care much
about the matter. The reporter go1
the idea that the letter had been re-
ceived, but the Judge hardly con-
sidered it seriously and did not in
tend to answer it, apologize or fight
He did not even seem disposed to be
mad about it. When shown the
printed reports of the letter be said
he had heard nothing of it and read
nothing about it, and had not time
to think about it.
