The passage of the anti-reyolution bill
by the Reichstag seems now to be assured,
the negotiations between the Government
and the leaders OF. the Center party, es-
peclally Lleber and Groeber, having at
length resulted in an agreement that some
amendments shall be incorporated in the
Dill III order to enable the members of the
Center party to claim that their votes are
given for the measure for the sake of
religion and morality. The majority of
the Catholic press, however, regard the
action OF the Centrists in agreeing to sup
port the bill as desertion of party prin-
clples and declare that it will be con-
demned by the majority of the Catholics
OF Germany. BY winning over the fol-
lowers of Lieber and Groeber, who numb Der
between thirty and forty, the Government
is sure to secure 240 votes for the measure
and this will give them a safe majority

GOVERNOR BUDD NAMES HIM AS A
MEMBER OF THE HARBQR
COMMISSIONERS.
TAXES OFFICE NEXT MONTH.
REASONS GIVEN FOR THE SELECTION
OF A Man FROM THE
INTERIOR.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. Ex-Governor Budd
has at length announced his intention of
appointing his private secretary, E. L.
Colnon, formerly editor of the Stockton
Mail, to fill the vacancy in the Board of
Harbor Commissioners, which occurs on
the 18th of next month.
This will be a grievous disappointment
to numerous San ,Franciscans, some of
whom had hoped to be able to fill the posi-
ton themselves, while others were urging
the appointment of friends. II am going
to appoint Mr.. Colnon to the position"
said the Governor, because | know of no
one among the entire number of appli-
cants whom | would trust more implicitly
to carry out my ideas in regard to the re-
forms which |. consider necessary on the
water front. The applicants from San
Francisco are men of undoubted ability
and integrity, but I have not the intimate
acquaintance with them that / have with
Mr. Colnon."
The Governor said he understood some
objection would be raised to the appoint
ment because Mr.. Colnon was from the
interior. He. thought this would not be
well founded. while San Francisco owns
the water 'front.'" he said, 'yet that water
front belongs TO the State and is supported
entirely by the incoming and outgoing
commerce. Large sums of State money
are being expended annually along the
docks, and the State at large has interests
to be guarded as well as the metropolis"
Mr.. Budd expiated upon Mr.. Colnons
business ability and pointed to the crisis
in the affairs of the ferry depot to show
how necessary the presence of a thorough
business man would be. There is to be
another vacancy in about two years, when
Mr.. Chadbourne retires. To this position
he intends appointing San Franciscan.
Zone reason for my appointing Mr..
Colnon to the position to be made vacant
by Mr.. Bassett's retirement" he con-
Guided, "is the contention that has been
aroused over it. There was so much pull
ing and hauling that l could not learn
which was the best man, and wanted to
make no mistake. I owed all of them for
political favors to be sure, but was in
debted to Mr.. Colnon too. During the next

absolutely False.
SAN JOSE, Feb. 16.--Sheriff Lyndon,
Supervisor Selby and other county officials
to-day denounced the story published in
San Francisco paper, to the effect that an
attempt had been made to enter the county
treasury vault here as a sensational fake
entirely without any foundation in fact.
A small hole was discovered in hollow
tile under the floor of a. closet at some dis
lance from the vault Friday evening, but
it was Immediately traced TO the opera
tons of the architect of the building and
plumber who were making some investiga-
tons at the defects in the tile flooring.
From the first there was not the slightest
suspicion or ground for the report that the
hole in question was the work of burglars.
1t was made by the plumber over four
months ago.
1t is also absurd in the extreme to sup
pose that burglars would have attempted
to gain access to the vault in any such
manner. 1t would only have admitted
them to the main hall of the building, and
it would still have been necessary to pene-
trate the wall of the vault consisting of
over twenty inches of solid brick cement,
iron and steel. Viewed in every possible
light the story was entirely without foun-
dation.

TACOMA CITY FATHERS EXCITED
The Extension OF City Streets Caused the
Trouble,

TACOMA, Feb. 16-An exciting scene was
witnessed during to-day's City Council
meeting, when City Attorney Wickersham
denounced the action OF six members in
protesting against the passage of Senator
Taylor's measure to extend the streets to
deep water. The six members, he said,
were acting most unfairly with him and
against the interests of the city. Council
man Glen intensified the interest by stating
that he had not signed the protest, at least
not knowingly, whereupon Mr.. Wicker
sham exclaimed that Glen's statement
proved that forgery had been added to the
other crimes committed in connection with
the opposition to Taylor's bill. Glen later
claimed to have misunderstood what he
was asked to sign. The Council, by a vote
of 10 to 5, Endorsed Wickersham's efforts at
Olympia; the five members who signed the
protest voting not to indorse.

one. At Red Hugh bridge Sullivan was
two lengths ahead of Harding. He slowly
