This Week Will See the Close of
the Legislature
Los ANGELES RAILROAD BILL
Spreckels Has All He Wants for the
Valley Line
j. A. Drlffl Of Pomona to be Appointed
Adiutant 0encral-That Biggy Scandal
Being Investigated

Sacramento, March 13.-The Senate
amended the bill allowing Los Angeles to
bond, so it will only apply to counties hav-
ing over 100, 900 inhabitants and less than
200 900. The Constitution provides that
counties can only be classed for certain
specific purposes. Bonding for railroads
is not one of these, therefore the designa-
ton of Los Angeles by classes was con-
sidered as manifestly unconstitutional,
and by changing the phraseology, as out
lined, that obstacle was overcome, and
the bill will probably pass tomorrow
safely through the Senate.
Spreckels has received all he wanted at
San Francisco and if the Governor signs
the bill the Valley road will have ample
terminal facilities.
General j. A. Dritfill of Pomona will be
appointed Adjutant General tomorrow or
Friday. He is a native OF New York, has
has been in the National Guard of this
state tor the past seven years. He is now
Inspector General and by his energy has
built up very good company at Pomona.
He has been indorsed by the entire
National Guard, by General Allen and a
prominent citizens for the place. He a, :
ant Adjutant General, but found curiously
enough that his pull was stronger than he
thought it was, and consequently had got
ten more than he asked. The Legislature
has resolved to adjourn on Saturday even
ing.
Senator Simpson, chairman of investi-
eating committee of the senate, expects to
be able to report on the Biggy scandal to-
morrow. Biggy obtained an indefinite
leave of absence today owing to the sud
den death of his sister. This is the
second death he has had in his family in
two weeks. The matter will probably

, NATURAL CHILDREN
The Morality Of San Francisco as Compared
to Paris

Inc morality OF San Francisco as compared
to Paris
San Francisco, March 13.-Chief Of
Police Crowley vigorously denies the as
serton of Max O'Rell that the illegiti-
mate children born in Paris annually were
not more than one-third the number Of
natural children born every year in San
Francisco. Chief Crowley says this city
is not half SO immoral on the lines sug-
gested as any of the large manufacturing
cities of the United States, England or
the continent, where young girls and
women are thrown in daily contact with
irresponsible males of their own age
The Chief does not know where M. Bouet
obtained his data. but pronounces the
conclusions false, whatever the source of
his so-called statistics.
''1f we who have lived here all our lives
and have had to do with crime and the
elements of immortality" said Crowley,
cannot form any accurate estimate on
this question of illegitlmacy, how could a
stranger and foreigner acquire such datar
This alleged French humorist is fakir
of the rankest kind. 1t is an insult to
compare San Francisco to Paris, where
the marriage laws are looked upon almost
in the light OF q useless incum brance.
If o Rell were here he would get what he
promises would be the treatment of Mark
Twain were the latter in Paris-his nose
would be pulled"

A Blaze In New York

New York, March 13.-The large
factory building at 80 and So South Fifth
avenue burned today, causing loss OF
s1OO, 900. The top floor was used as a
laboratory and workshop by Nicola Tesla,
the electrician, whose loss is $40, 900. The
destruction of Teslas workshop comes
just when it is whispered in the scien-
eve of one of the greatest discoveries
connected with the problem of improv-
ing the electric light. 1t is feared that
the disaster may result in the physical
collapse of the great inventor. He has
long been in state bordering on exhaus-
tion through overwork. Mr.. Tesla is the
controlling electrical engineer of the Mic
aragua Canal Power Company and of
many other important concerns.

Those Shots From Spanish Guns
Fired at the Alliance
QUESTION OF JURISDICTION
Was the Mail Steamer in Cuban Waters
When Shot at?
The Retident Minister Of Spain at Washington
TeIcgraphs for a Statement From the
Ounboat Officers

Washington. March l3.-Scnor Muraga,
the Spanish Minister, visited the State
Department today, for the purpose OF
stating the position OF Spain. from the in
formation now at hand, on the firing of
the Spanish gunboat OH the American
mail steamer Alliancia.
The Minister telegraphed for full par
ticulars to the Governor-G General of Cnba,
and in reply received dispatch that the
cruiser which presumably figured in the
affair has not yet returned, having pro-
longed her watch along the Cuban coast.
The Governor-General had no particulars
OF the incident. Uuder the circum stances,
Senor Muraga feels that only one side of
the story has been told. But should it
appear that there has been an offense or
lndiscretion on the part OF the Spani IN
warship, the Minister says that Spain will
speedily make every apology consistent
with the friendship she bears to the
United States.
Taking the version of the affair as given
by Captain Crossman of the Alliancia
Minister Muraga says it is apparent the
American ship was i'll the jurisdictional
waters of Cuba and not on the high seas.
1t is evident, the Minister says, from the
firing Of the blank, that she might be
board.
The letter of Captain Crossman was re-
ceived at the State Department in the
afternoon mail. Secretary Uhl after look
ing over the letter carefully wrote Captain
Crossman asking for more particulars
bearing upon the incident. Until these
are furnished it is not probable the COM
plant will be formally brought to the
Spanish government. The point upon
which the United States Government re-
quires further information is the fact that
the location OF the Allianicia when she
was first signalled by the Spanish cruiser
and it is possible the whole case may turn
on this point.
According to Captain Crossman's own
story he had been in the habit of taking
his ship on cruise that brought it within
a mile OF Cape May, the eastern extremity
of the island OF Cuba. He is re-
ported to have said on this occasion
that hearing at Colon that there was
trouble he kept off the land so that he
trouble occurred. From this statement
it appe ars that the captain knew that
Spanish cruisers we're patrolling the coast
III search Of fillibusters and that a
rebellion was in progress, but it is
not clear that he was outside the
Spanish marine Jurisdiction, considering
the fact that there are outlying keys or
islands belonging to the same nation. In
order that these may be regarded in es-
tablishing the marine jurisdiction is
shown bv the act of our own Government
in laying out the sixty mile exclusive line
around the Pribyloff islands last year.
There is another, but minor point upon
which further information will be de-
manded, and that is whether the ships
officers can be sure that the shots fired by
the Spanish vessel were directed at the
Alliancia or across her bows.
