D. s. DORM HAS RETURNED.

HIS BROTHER IN SAN

MOUNTAINS - He SAW THE
MARDI GRAS.

D. S. Dorm, the attorney who was for
merly the legal adviser of the Pacific
Bank, and who disappeared before the
opening of the Dick Mcdonald trial-at
which his testimony was wanted by the
District Attorneys again in town.
THE statement that I left the city to
avoid being a witness in the Mcdonald
case is erroneous, said Mr.. Dorm at his
Geary-street residence last night. 81 have
been away on the first vacation l have
taken for two years, and that was
settled on when my brother and
partner returned from his European
trip year ago. 1 was in town on several
occasions when the case was called, but it
was continued each time, and when
started on my vacation l understood that
it would not come to trial for several
months.
1.-THE published statement, that 1 ever
deposited a large check in the Pacific
Bank, or any number of checks aggre-
eating any large amount, is incorrect. 1t
was stated that checks bearing my name
were deposited by some one else, but
there is no evidence to show that 1 ever
signed them. AS matter of fact it is my

visors from making license rate so high
that it would be prohibitory. This
amendment was introduced at the instance
of the California Protective Association.

Senator Smith.
The amendment was defeated.
Senator Denison offered his-amendment,
previously described, relating to local OPP
ton and police and sanitary regulations.
Senator Wilmington declared that this
was most vicious amendment.
The amendment for which G. W. Baker,
the attorney for the California Protective
Association, has been lobbying is as fol-
lows:
Provided, that the provisions of this section
shall not be so construed as to empower said
Boards of Supervisors to prohibit the con-
duct of any business for which a license has
been heretofore authorized under the laws OF
this State since the adoption of the new con-
stitution of 1879 without first submitting the
question TO vote OF the people OF such county
and obtaining majority of the voters voting
upon said question in favor OF such prohtb-
itory measure.
To which Senator Denison added the
provision relating to cities and lncorpo-
rated towns. The amendment by Senator
Denison was voted down.
A multitude of minor amendments were
offered as soon as the last section of the
bill had been read.
The county government bill will be
again considered on Monday.

"Where have l been? Well, | went first
to San Luis Obispo to visit my brother, f.

tested election case OF County Surveyor

ROSEBERY TERY SICK.
Runors That He Intends to Resign Off
ciuIlu Denied.

New YORK, March "a special to the
World from London says: The London
newspapers now refer for the first time to
Lord Rosebery's condition as serious, and
say that he desires to resign.
The Morning Post says: Lord Rose
berry has been much more seriously i'll than
the public imagines. Influenza is bad
enough, but when insomnia is added it is
difficult for the patient to regain his
strength. The protraCted illness of the
Premier has given rise to rumors that his
lordship intends to resign, which, of
course, wonld mean a breakup of the Gov
eminent and Parliament.
The Chronicle says: His (Rosebery's)
terrible insomnia continues and his recov-
cry is tedious.
The Star observes that the lobby in Par
lament was the scene of intense excite
ment for some little time when the rumor
got about that Lord Rosebery intended to
resign the premiership on account of i'll
ness. Little groups quickly gathered here
and there discussing the possible results of
such step. An official contradiction was
soon forthcoming.

NASHVILLE, March 9.--Ex Congressman
W. J. Bryan of Nebraska spoke to large
and enthusiastic audience tonight on BIZ
metallism and was constantly applauded.
The position taken was that bimetallism is
a necessity and that the United States is
powerful enough and large enough to re-
sumo the free and unlimited coinage of
silver regardless of the action of other ma
tions and that in any event no change
could make affairs worse than they are
now. The policy OF the administration
and Mr.. Carlisle in reference to bond is
sues was severely criticized.
The speech was strong presentation of
the case of those favoring bimetallism.

Napa County Electric Road Scheme.

ST. HELENA, Cal, March 9.-There is an
undercurrent of interest felt here i'll regard
to the proposed electric road up through
Napa Valley to Calistoga. The County
Supervisors have been applied to by Will
liam McGeorge, who came before them to
ask for a franchise for trolley-road. The
matter was taken under Amusement, but
the franchise will not be granted until Mr..
McGeorge explains who the capitalists are
who are behind the scheme.
The fact of the franchise being asked for
has stirred up an interest among the quick
silver mining companies and capitalists,
who recognize the benefit that would
accrue to the people of this section if an
electric road could be built from Calistoga
by way of st. Helena and Napa to Tiburon
Point and ferry as an outlet. McGeorge is
expected at the next meeting of the Super
vlsors, and it will soon be known whether
he has substantial backing.
