SANTA ROSA LOTTERIES.
CHECKING THE SCHEMES OF MER-
CHANTS TO OBTAIN BUSI-
NESS.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ORDERS
THE POLICE TO ENFORCE
THE LAW.

SANTA ROSA, March 23.-District At
torney SeawelI brought the lottery and
rafting business, which has been thriving
here to considerable extent lately, to an
abrupt end to-day.
Some of the clothing merchants have
been selling envelopes containing tickets
which gave the purchaser a chance in the
semi-weekly drawing for suit of clothes,
coat and vest and pair of trousers. Many
suits have been raffled off this way, and
other merchants and tailors were in dam
ger of having serious inroads made in
their business.
So one merchant complained to the Dis
trict Attorney, who, after looking up the
law, advised the police to arrest every per-
son selling tickets or in any way promot-
ing lottery or rattle. This brought this
mode OF business to a very sudden ter
mination. The same methods have been
carried on extensively in other parts of
the county,

THREE RECEIVERS RESIGN.
JOHN MCNULTA REMAINS II
CHARGE OF THE WHISKY
TRUSTS AFFAIRS.
OF THE DEAL BY RIGHT OF
WITHDRAWAL.

CHICAGO, March 23.-The three re-
ceivers of the whisky trust presented their
designations to Federal Judge Grosscup
to-day.
There was nothing in the proceedings to
indicate any disagreement among the re-
ceivers. Receivers Lawrence and Mitchell
gave as reasons for resigning that their
other business required all their time
Mr. Mitchell suggested that two receivers
were enough. General John McNulta was
continued by Judge Grosscup as the sole
receiver.
The Judge said: ''Tlfese designations
were rendered because it was thought the
business of the receivership had reached
such stage that one man could conduct
it without any difficulty. There has been
no trouble between this court and the re-
| ceivers."
| The question of the compensation of the
| two retiring receivers will be considered
| by the Judge on his return from Califor-
MIA, where he is going on a brief vacation.
| General McNulta has in reality had con-
troll since the receivers had charge. Judge
| Grosscup appointed him as the court
! direct representative and receiver-in-chief.
| Lawrence was named as the representative
of the Greenhut management and Mitchell
as the representative of the stockholders.
In financial circles it was the general be-
lief that, despite assertions to the con-
| trary, the designations were the result of a
merry war between the three men. 1t
was asserted that to-day's court proceed
| ings were arranged solely for the purpose
of letting Receiver Lawrence down easy
and his resignation was not wholly vol
| untary. 1t was common talk on the Stock
Exchange that Lawrence had been accused
by the reorganization people of working in
| the interest of the Greenhut crowd. To-
days affair was generally considered a
| proof of the supremacy of the reorganiza-
ton committee and pronounced defeat
| for Greenhut.

SHpshod Work in the Legislature UiIl
XIII Several Measures.
SACRAMENTO, March Ex-Governor
Budd has discovered that in both the SEN
and and the Assembly during the confu-
sion incident to the last days of the session
many bills were rushed through without
careful preparation and proper attention
having been paid to titles. Hence, he will
be obliged to pocket several bills. They
violate section 81 of article " of the State
constitution, which reads as follows:
No bill making an appropriation of money,
except the general appropriation BILL shall
contain more than one item of appropriation.
and that for one single and certain purpose,
to be therein expressed.
Among the misfit titles is that of Assem-
bly, bill 1877, appropriating money for build
ings and Improvements for the Southern
California State Asylum for Insane and
Inebriates. The bill contains five distinct
and separate appropriations for build
ings, one for furniture, one for sewerage,
etc. Under the constitution the Governor
will be obliged to pocket this bill. There
are severa, other bills in the same condi-
ton. The bill appropriating money for a
Normal School in San Diego carries an APP
preparation, but there is no appropriation
expressed in the title.

"Why, see here, Mayor, a man told me
you had given enough of the air of San
Francisco to stop the bra kes, interposed
| the Governor, laughingly. 81 have not
given anything, either, because was short
on the financial question, but maybe we'll
get a present of block of stock
j. d. Spreckels explained that an agree
ment had been perfected VIII ereby all the
stock will be held by the trustees of the
road.
"But that is only for the space of ten
years, and want that arrangement to last
for all time" continued the Mayor. 81
am not here to oppose the Central Pacific
nor to specially favor the San Joaquin
but it is matter of fact that the people OF
this city and State have suffered terribly
from the monopoly of the Southern Pa
cific. 1t has ruled US with hand
OF iron, and propose, as matter of fair
ness and justice to the community at
large, to have clause inserted that will
entirely do away with any chance of that
this enterprise"
sit never WILL" tersely interiected Mr..
Spreckels. "You certainly cannot think
that would devote the amount of time
and money which l have done to the for
ward1ng of any scheme for the benefit of
that corporation? L promise that this
road shall be conducted in the interests of
the people of the State"
The Governor then questioned each
member of the Board of Harbor Commits
sioners individually as to his opinion of
the lease, and each one stated that he
had not a single objection to offer, and
was willing to sign the lease then and
there. Cole added that it was grand
thing; competing road had always been
needed.
THAT is all want to know" said Gov
ernor Budd.
Attorney Preston stated that he wished
to call the Governors attention to the fact
that the word competing" had no legal
meaning and would only result in endless
litigation if any contest of the lease should
occur. There was clause in the docu-
ment stating that the lease shall not be
assigned, which will fully satisfy all the
op1ecllouS Wnlch might De entertained by
Mayor sutro.
81 am fully satisfied" said Governor
Budd, in conclusion, that these gentle
men are acting in good faith, and have not
tied up their capital for ten years with any
Interior purpose. Tonight 1 shall study
this lease. l have no desire to lease these
terminal facilities to any other company
than the San Joaquin Valley Railroad,
and 1 do not want to sign any lease that
can be construed to give this property to
any other line. The articles shall be
thoroughly gone over and what necessary
amendments l deem proper will be pre-
pared by the end of next week, when / will
hold a conference in San Francisco with
the parties interested and with the Board
of Harbor Commissioners. 3"

NO MONEY FOR LUxURIES.
The Board of Eranttners Regalatis,g
State Institutions Expenses.

The Board of Examiners Regulating
State Institutions Expenses.
SACRAMENTO, March %. ALI the
various State institutions will receive an
official notice Monday from the State
Board of Examiners that from this time
forward all bills for luxuries-such as
crabs, frozen oysters, French peas, turkey,
chicken, quail, shrimps. broilers, olives
and other sundries-will not be paid for
out of the States exehequer, and that the
board had passed the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the supplies and provisions
furnished by the State to the officers and en-
ployes OF State institutions are the supplies
and provisions purchased on contract for the
inmates of such institutions, and no bills for
any other supplies and provisions will be al
lowed by this bill. The contingent funds of
State institutions cannot be used for the pur-
chase of supplies and provisions for the
use OF officers, employees or inmates of such in
situations. All bills must be marked showing
what items have been purchased on contract
and what not on contract, and explanations
should be made on all bills that on their face
do not clearly show for what purpose they were
incurred.
The Board of Examiners fail to discover
any law that compels the State to paw the
of any institution, and deem a salary of
$500 per annum, with the perquisites of
house rent, servants and supplies thrown
n, is simply sufficient remuneration.
This resolution will result in considerable
isaving to the State.
During the month OF January the official
in charge of one institution presented a
bill of $166 in excessof what was allowed.
This amount was for luxuries of this
nature that he had purchased for his per-
sonal table to enable him to feast his
friends and the trustees of that institution
when they appeared to make official ex-
aminations.
The bill allowing the Board of Exami-
ners to cut down appropriation bills is
found to be void, owing to the fact that it
does not specify that power in the title.
The Governor says that items can be cut
down, but not appropriations.

provides that the s250,00O appropriated
shall be used in the erection of a building

Regents, and fails to provide for the pur-
chase of such site This fact did not escape
the Governors notice and he claims that it
will be advantageous for the State as the

funds of the university.

an act to amend section 1416 of the Civil

ARMOUR WILL SHIP FRUIT,
The PORK-PACKER INTENDS TO
TRANSPORT CALIFORNIA
PRODUCTS.
He MAKES ARRANGEMENTS WITH
THE S. P. FOR SPECIAL CAR
LOAD LOTS.

CHICAGO, March 23.-P. D. Armour 81
Co. contemplate a considerable expansion
OF the fruit transportation trade between
California and Eastern points, in which
they have been to some extent engaged
for the last few years. They have made an
arrangement with the Southern Pacific by
which about 400 or 500 cars will ultimately
be brought into use for this purpose. The
cars will combine all the latest improve
ments that are necessary for the double
purpose of meeting the needs of orange
and lemon transportation in winter and
the deciduous fruit trade in summer.
During recent visit to California NJ. B.
Robbins, travelling agent for Armour & Co.,
became aware of the growing possibilities
of the deciduous fruit trade in that State
and the consequent need of transportation
facilities. At this time there is an excep-
tionally lively trade in California owing
to the failure of crops in Florida. The ex-
pediency of adapting the new line of
transportation to both branches of the
fruit trade was therefore apparent.
The consumption east of the Rocky
Mountains is growing yearly, but one of
the great drawbacks has been lack of
transportation facilities-not in the num-
Der of cars, but in the character of their
construction and adaptability to the uses
to which they are put. Fruit is better
packed on the Pacific Coast than anywhere
else in this country, special pains being
taken to please the eye, and with the new
cars some marvellous things in this line
may be looked for.
The first contract for the construction
of the number OF cars required is in course
of fulfIlment.

FOUR PEOPLE ARE DEAD.

OTHERS ARE STILL MISSING
The Blaze Started About Midnight
and Made Quick Work Of the
Building.

DENVER, March 23-The st. James
Hotel at Curtis and Sixteenth streets, one
of the finest in the city, is burning. The
fire broke out in the basement shortly be-
fore midnight, and soon after the floor OF
the rotunda collapsed, letting the flames
and smoke into the office and corridors
The firemen seem to have the fire under
control, although it is burning stubbornly
The loss has already reached SAC, 900, and
unless the fire is soon extinguished will
greatly exceed that amount.
The fire started in a room used to store
old::::baggage, directly under the central
rotunda of the house. While the fire was
at its height the floor sank without warn
ing, throwing several men into the pit OF
dense smoke below, al least two of whom
are dead.
After the flames had been extinguished
there the body of Captain Harold w.
Hartweu of hose was found frightfully
burned.
One other body, too badly burned to be
identified, was also found. Three other
IN were dragged out unconscious and
are at the hospital, where they may die.
1t is suspected that there are still other
bodies in the debris.
At LIS A. NJ. two more bodies have been
found, in addition to that of Captain Hart
well. Neither has yet been identified.
1t is thought that two or three more
bodies are still in the ruins.
At 1: AS A. NJ. four bodies had been taken
out as follows:
Harold W. Hartweli, captain of Hose 3.
Richard cambridge, pipeman.
Steven Marshall, pipeman, and one IN
known.
There is one other body in the ruins,
probably another pipeman.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., March 23.-Al
though there has been no new develop
ment to-day in the strained industrial situa-
tlon between the mill operatives at Olney-
vile and their employers the public fear OF
general strike has not lessened
The business men of the district have
not yet taken formal action, yet they have
discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of doing some
thing to prevent the repetition of the great
strike or 1888. The storekeepers have not
yet recovered from the effects of that strike
and they declare if the threatened strike
occurs they must abandon business, as
they would be unable to trust strikers for
supplies.
The striking operatives of the Atlantic
Mills are to hold meeting tomorrow to
discuss the troubles, and in few days a
mass-meeting of all the operatives in the
Pawtucket Valley will be held. At the
latter meeting committee will be APP
pointed to ask the agents of the mills for
restoration of the wage list in force be-
fore the Is cent reduction that precipitated

GRUMBIING At LEGIsLAroRs.
Failure of Representatives at Sacramento
to Secure Library La,U.

Fdtture of Representatives at Sdcrdne sstO
to Secure library La,c.
SANTA ROSA, March 23.-Consider-
able dissatisfaction is expressed here over
the neglect of the Sonoma County legis-
lators to effect the passage of a number of
bills wanted by the people at the recent
session of the Legislature. One of the
bills, which seemed to have the indorse-
ment of many and which was allowed to
die on the file, was one in regard to giving
the Santa Rosa Library Trustees authority
to fix the tax levy for the support of the
Public Library. As it is, the Council fixes
the rate and that body has refused to make
levy which the Trustees would consider
reasonable. In explanation of the defeat
of the bill to-day President Davis of the
Library Board said he understood that
County Superintendent Davis and others
had succeeded in persuading the Sonoma
County Senator that the people were OPP
posed to the bill.
The Council has made tax rate so low
that no new books can be bought for
year.
