that he has left the city to avoid being
subpenaed as a witness in the bridge scan
dial by the Grand Jury. Of course, don't
know whether he has any connection with
the case" he explained, "but the talk is
that he could tell how certain railroad
money was distributed and who got it."
Mr.. Ryan said that the Supervisors had
been shown the designs for several covered
bridges No particular one had been
picked out though, and no building price
had been fixed. Then they had passed
their resolution, as they had received a
letter from a. n. Towne agreeing to build
the bridge before December 81, 1895, If the
money was paid. This was done.
Further than that he knew nothing, ex-
cept that the Grand Jury last year had
declared that the payment of the $4,000
was illegal. No steps were taken then to
right the matter, as the railroad company
expressed its intention to build the bridge.
The present Grand Jury is making a
more searching inquiry than its prede-
cessor. The foreman, H. NJ. La Rue, who
was recently decided to be Railroad Com
missioner, is very decided man, and he
is backed by a jury of representative bust
ness men, who are in earnest.

Another new primary election law was
introduced to-day; this one is by Spencer.
According to this act the officers of cleo

being allowed one challenge if they desire
it. Parties must pay for their own tickets
and divide the cost of the election. Those
wishing to run independently may do so
on petitions signed by per cent of the
voters of their district. All ballots of all
parties are cast in the same box. One del
egate is allowed for every 200 votes the
party cast at the preceding. The first gen.
eral primary election is to be held the sec
ond Saturday in May, 1896. The guber-
material primaries are to be held the last
Saturday in June.

stands is farce. He feels that the will of
the Assembly should be taken on the mat
ter of dropping unnecessary employees. The
report that the combined committees drew
up, he claims, was just. His idea is to
have it put before the house and voted on
as whole.
C. M. Belshaw of Contra Costa is willing
to record his convictions. He is against
the reckless and wasteful expenditure of
State funds for the fattening of the favored
few that prevails at present. He thinks
every man should be put on record and
urges that the Republican party cannot af-
ford to let the present scandal remain with
out even an attempt at publication.
Peter Bennett of Ventura thinks THE
CALL has struck the keynote that will
arouse an answering chord in the hearts of
those Republicans who are anxious for the
good of the party and honesty in admis-
tering affairs of State.
Judge Spencer also made gallant fight
in the direction of purity, but is almost
willing to admit that he has been out
generated. The outspoken support OF THE
CALL has given courage to the rank and
file of the reform movement, and the
future of the unnecessary attaches will

Colonel Benyaur's Report Is Submitted

WASHINGTON, Feb. Sin response to
Senator Whites resolution, the Secretary
of War to-day transmitted to Congress
Colonel Benyaur's report on Wilmington
harbor (San Pedro) improvements. After
giving resume of work done, the engineer
estimates that 1892, 725 will be required to
improve the harbor so as to admit ocean
going vessels. The appropriation of $51, 900
contained in the river and harbor bill of
1892 has been used in obtaining uniform
depth of sixteen feet. He urges the in
creased appropriation, so that vessels of
more than sixteen feet draught can be ac-
commodated. Senator White is endeavor-
ing to secure this increase in the sundry
civil appropriation bill, which is nearly
ready to report to the Senate.

Grand Jury, and a new effort will be made
to find Gregory.
One OF the main witnesses before the
Grand Jury to-day was District Attorney
Frank D. Ryan. Mr.. Ryan was the legal
adviser of the Supervisors at the time the
peculiar resolution was passed giving the
railroad company $4,000 for building
bridge without any specific contract.
II did not advise the Supervisors their
act was legal" he said last night. Eyes, l
understand they say that / gave them !

so. Ibid advise them that they had power
to make contract with the railroad COM
pany to build bridge, but that is-ail."

was asked.
mo-" was the response. "That is
resolution by which the Supervisors appro-
priated $15, 900 to be advanced the railroad
company on condition of their building an
overhead bridge. It provided also that an
additional $4,000 should be paid on the
completion OF the bridge, but if the bridge
were not finished by December 81, 1895,
the $4,000 given was to be returned.

The robbery of S. L. Stolen, the Treasurer
of Sonoma County, was called up by Staley
who introduced bill relieving that gem
tlemans bondsmen from responsibility for
the $777O 80 taken from him by force.
Barker of Santa Barbara introduced a
bill to solve the road question which was
being discussed by members from all parts
of the State. His bill provides that fifty
or more property-holders may call for an
election to decide whether people in GER
tain defined territory want TO form road
district. If they do five trustees are elected,
one from each of five divisions OF the dis
trict, and these men act as would the trus-
tees of a corporation. The only salaried
officer of the board is clerk, who gets $100
a year. The district may vote bonds and
make any road improvements it deems
necessary.
Another bill providing for the investlga-
ton of the various ills the State at large
seems heir to was introduced by Waymire.
These corruptions are to be investigated by
a commission of three, one of whom is to
appointed by the Governor, one by the
President of the Senate and one by the
Speaker of the Assembly. The bill pro-
vides at length for the investigation of
election frauds, and, while it embraces an
investigation of the Police Department and
other offices of the city, it does so only in a
general way. Mr.. Waymire also intro
duced a bill providing for civil service
commission for the State.

ASSEMBLY BILLS And RESOLUTIONS.
Hatfield Of Sacramento Asks for Strong
Sunday Law.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9.-An attempt is to be
made to have the next national Republi-
can convention in 1896 held in some State
west Of the Rocky Mountains. A Joint
resolution urging that such step would
be advisable was presented by Hatfield of
Sacramento He urged that the Governors
of the Pacific Coast States, Utah, Nevada,
Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, should
each appoint committee of three, and
that these committees should meet at an
early date at San Francisco or Sacramento,
and devise plans for bringing about the
holding of the convention at some con-
venient place which they should agree
upon.
After spirited debate, the bill regulat-
ing the hours of labor in logging camps
and protecting the hands was passed.
Twenty-three bills were introduced to-
day, many being of special interest to San
Francisco. One by Wilkinson of the
Thirty-first District gives the Supervisors
power to appoint 100 special policemen, to
be paid in the same way as the present
police force.
A Sunday-law bill, making it misde-
meanor to work or to employ laborers to
work on the Sabbath, was introduced IY
Hatfield of Sacramento. The bill forbids
the "hawking and sale of Sunday news
papers" and makes men who Ego a-hunt-
ing on the Christian Sabbath" guilty of a
misdemeanor. The punishment is made a
fine or imprisonment or both. 1t provides,
however, that Seventh-day Adventists,
Seventh-day Baptists and Hebrews, who
really observe Saturday as the Sabbath
and keep it holy, shall not be affected by
the act.
Brusie introduced the first bills toward
effecting the establishment of an electric.

LET THE INTEREST GO.

Probable Action as to the Debts of the
Pacific Roads.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The House Com
mittee on Rules will positively not grant
any more time for the consideration of Pa
cific roads debts legislation. Mr.. Outh-
waite SO stated to the CALL correspondent
to-day, and this agrees with what Catching
said several days ago. The matter will,
however, probably be tackled on to the sun
dry appropriation bill on the Senate side
This will be proposition authorizing the
Secretary to accept the amount of the prin-
cipal of both debts and let the interest go.
Senator Brice, who is believed to be back
of this scheme, said to the CALL CORE
spondent he favored this plan.s
