TO HOLD THEIR WARRANTS.
Deputy County Clerks Will Wait for
Their June Salaries.

At meeting of employees of the County
Clerks Office, held in Judge Wallace's
courtroom yesterday afternoon, County
CLERK Haley submitted proposal for the
hold ing back of the clerks demands for
their June salaries.
1t was represented that on July there
would be demands against the city for
something like $4,000 due to creditors
and merchants who had furnished sup
plies TO the city. There would not be suf-
ficient money in the treasury to pay this
and S135, 600 in salaries as well, and under
a recent decision of the Supreme Court the
inde btedDess of one year could not be paid
out of the revenue of another. The fiscal
year ended June 80. so that if Sl35, coo was
drawn from the treasury TO meet the de-
mands of employees, then the contractors
and merchants who had kept faith with
the city would have to lose their chance OF
being paid.
Mr. Haley told his clerks that il they
would agree TO the proposal he had ample
assurance that the warrants would be
casbed not later than July 10. There
would be ample funds by then. Mr..
Haley's assurance bad the desired effect
and the proposal was unanimously ac-
cepted.

1t was angl ers' day on Strawberry Hill,
in Golden Gate Park, yesterday, and the
placid waters of Stow Lake were we'll
whipped by the enameled silk lines of the
participants in the MidWiuter Fair fly-
casting tournament. The event was one
that had been looked forward TO with
much eagerness by the local Knights OF
the rod and reel for some weeks past, and
considerable enthusiasm was manifested
in making the necessary arrangements
for il.
1t was proposed to conduct it on the
same plan as the great tournament held
during the Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago.
La anticipation of the affair and with the
inspiring hope of winning one of the sew
eral gold medals prepared fOF the most
expert ly-casters, some OF the most proml-
nent city anglers went into active training
and sought out secluded spots where there
was a good stretch of water and spent the
f1eetng hours in swishiDg their lines at
long distances, until they were satisfied
that they would become + ecoId-breakers In
the coming tournament.
That there was considerable difference
between the distances they claimed to
have thrown their lines in their hours of
solitude and the space covered in the con-
test is no more of rensctl upon their

To make the '49 camp more attractive and

ciety OF Australia. was the next address.
Captain Evsrill spoke of the perils attend
ing exploration in Australia, but told how
the work is being pursued so that every
year the space marked on the aliases as
terra incognita grows smaller. He sketched
the history of early voyagers along the
Australian coast in the seventeenth CEN
tury, and then proceeded to discuss the
settlement of the island continent review
ing In succession the growth of its prin-
cipal cities and incidentally relating many
anecdotes of early adventures and perllS
in the interior, AS an instance of the
value OF the Australian exploration, CaD-
tain Everill said that one colony has re-
ceived over $500. 600 in rents from pasture
lands obtained as the result Of an explor-
ing expedition which cost the Government
only about $4,000.
In the absence of Captain Michael A.
Healey, commander of the United States
revenue cutter Bear. Professor Davidson
read his paper on Introduction and Ae-
climati0n of the Reindeer in Alaska"
On the Introduction of this animal. Cap
tain Healey claimed, lay the future exist
ence of the Alaskan people. The great
problems there now are the providing of
food, clothing aud transportation, and the
encroachments OF the whites with their
canneries steam whalers and sealers and
fnr-hunters. are making the speedy solu-
ton of these problems an urgent neces-
sity. The introduction of the reindeer
would solve them all. be said, for the AMI
NAL provides all three. He then pro-
ceeded to enum crate the uses, as 10 food,
clothing and in transportation. TO which
the animal is put by the Siberians and
Laplanders, and remarked that herd OF
2,OoO.000 of the deer would alone support
the 0.000 natives now in Alaska.
Following Captain Healey's paper, Pro-
fessor Edward Lee Greene OF the Unl-
versity of California read paper oil THE
Geographical Distribution of Plants on
the Pacific Coast" 1t was a scholarly
exposition of the points of difference and
similarity between the plant life of this
coast, and particularly California, and the
plant life of the East, and also OF the
world. He spoke, too. OF the location of
some of the prominent OF the peculiarly
Californian trees and plants, and OF the
copiectures of scientists as to the reason
and method of their location. The COM
parsons he made distinctly favored Cali
fornia in all but her production OF hard
wood trees.
The difference was continued during
the evening. when the following papers
were read:
"MaoriIand and tile New Zealander." by
Hugh Craig; "1he Crowning Peaks of the ST.

VICIOUS STABLEMEN.
They Fought With the Ferocity of
Wild Animals.

Two stablemen. Mathew Green and
Charles Paul, employed by Frank Van
Ness, fought desperate battle at the race
track yesterday morning and succeeded in
so battering and manning each other that
they were scarcely recognizable, when,
bleeding and torn. they were separated by
Van Ness and Policeman Rourke. They
had been at loggerheads for some time
and when they went to work yesterday
morning were feeling the worse for too
much liquor the night before. A word
and a blow and then they went at it ham
mer and tongs. When Van Ness at
tempted to stop the fight Green bit him on
the calf OF the leg and Officer Rourke had
tn rap the enraged hostler on the head
with his club to make him let go. During
the melee Paul bit off the end of Green's
nose and Green chewed off the end OF one
of the fingers of PauPs left hand. AT the
Receiving Hospital The severed nose was
restored to its position and the finger
patched up. Both men were locked up on
charges of mayhem.

THE STAGE WAS HER THEME
Enthusiasm Displayed at All the
Sessions.
HE BASE OF THE PYRAMID.
Public Institutions and Modern
Methods Discussed = Crowded
and Eager Audiences.

Golden Gate Hall resembled vast por-
there of flowers yesterday, so many were
the elegantly dressed women wearing
dainty floral bonnets who crowded every
corner.
In vain did the lady ushers try to keep
the aisles clear yesterday morning. The
growing popularity of the Woman's Con-
gress. added to the fact that Nine. Helen
Modjeska was among the speakers. caused
eager hearers TO come in their hundreds
indeed it might almost be said in their
thousands-for many late-comers had un-
willingly to be turned from the doors, see-
lug that Golden Gate Hall is not elastic in
lis proportions. At all the sessions. how
ever. the limits of the building were taxed
TO accommodate the audiences.

generous impulses and higher problems
which they teach to humanity. As for
morals, can only state that there are as
many good women on the stage as In other
stations of life.
"There is no question that almost any
character of the higher drama can be in
terpreted without detriment to the
authors object. 80 ss to appeal to the lower
instincts of the public, or to its higher in
tellect and sen timent. 1t is in this direc-
ton that / think woman'S mission on the
stage can be of great significance, both
to her art, to her public and to her own
self"
An animated discussion followed Mime.
Modieska's "Woman on the Stage" Miss
Lily a. Toomey OF San Francisco then
read an earnest. interesting paper on
Catholic Women in Philanthropy" in
which she ably depicted what they have
done for the poor and the sick for centuries.
This was the last paper read at the morn
ing session.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper occupied the chair
during the afternoon.
The first speaker was Rev. Eliza Upper
Wilkes, who addressed the audience ably
without any notes on the Dangers of In-
stitutional Life for the Young" After de-
scribing the large sums OF money annually
spent for the support of dependent chill
6ren in California, the speaker asked
whether tie best was being done for these
helpless ones, adding that she did not for
moment wish to detract from the self
devotion Of those who promote insttu-
tions.
1.-THE same care is not adapted to all
sorts of children. Physically speaking,
you cannot care properly for them. Fancy
putting twenty babies into the hands of
one or two nurses! Then again the chill
dren in our institutions are often SO PAM
pered that they cannot later take care of
themselves The grea, charge / bring
against institutions is that they enable
you and me to shiTk our responsibilities. /
would have the money that goes into in
stitutions put into fund and the children
boarded out in private families"
In the discussion that followed all the
speakers appeared 20 be of the opinion
that family life is the natural one for a
child and that the "Home" should be re-
ceiving house only.
Miss Tessa Kelso, librarian of the Free
Library. Los Angeles, read rousing
