It is all very beautiful, and the fragrance
of the merry war is waited over the whole

From the square the sky is being lit with
fireworks, and the music of Roncovieri's S

in the Atheneum, reaches to the
crowd outside and lends its charm. 1t has
been great day and night for Santa Rosa.
Governor Budd and staff and Mayor Sutro
attended the grand illustrated concert of
Roncovieri's band at the Athenaum to-
night with the Queen and her court, the
Governor being the escort or perhaps the
especial guest is better way to put it of
the Queen. The party filled two boxes.

such thing would have been attempted.
Now, every city in the State is vying with

Mayor Sutro is equally pleased with all

in the State tonight.
The programme for tomorrow is one OF

Governor Budd will lead the march at

the Queens court and the Governors staff.
The Governor will employ the day IN a

Healdsburg Fiesta.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, May 9.-The con-
test for the floral crown of Healdsburg's
fiesta will close tomorrow night at
o'clock. The suspense will be over then,
for nearly every Healdsburger has friend
in the contest, and is deeply interested in
the outcome.
Not such heavy vote was polled to-day,
for the different candidates friends were
busy gathering their forces together for
the closing days vote.
Miss Mary Livernash received enough to
place her once more in the front rank, and
her friends hope to have her name there at
the close, but those who favor the other
fair contestants say nay, and cast know
ing smile when interviewed. No one can
yet name the Queen. Miss Emma Meiler
has second place, Emma Widlund third,
Lena Zane fourth.

portant business meeting of the executive
committee for the Venetian Carnival was
held last evening. J. T. Sullivan acted as
general manager and Vice-President Lo-
gan presided in place of j. P. Smith, who
was in San Francisco. The main matter
before the committee was the consideration
of the report of the committee on rules,
which was adopted. 1t outlined the object
of the carnival, gave the titles of the Off
GERS and of the twenty-four committees;
also stated that the power of the associa-
ton shall be vested in the executive COM
mittee, which is composed of the officers
and the chairman of each of the several
committees.
The duties of the officers we're outlined,
and of each of the twenty-four committees.
The committee on promotion is hard at
work in extending invitations to all the
prominent men in the State. The ladies'
auxiliary committee, whose duty it is to
interest the ladies of the county of Santa
Cruz and throughout the State in the aims
and objects of this association and to lend
all aid possible to the executive committee,
with Mrs. Lucy McCann as chairman, are
very active and have secured headquarters
on the second floor of the headquarters
building, opposite the Pacific Ocean House.
The hallway and rooms in their depart
ment have been decorated in a very artistic
manner by the ladies. Yellow and white
bunting, palms, ferns and the most beauti-
full of flowers are used to good effect.
Some of the interior of the private offices
in town are being decked in the carnival
colors, and the wearing of the carnival
colors as button badge or hatband is be-
coming universal. A large yellow and
white striped flag is flying from the Liberty
pole on the lower plaza.
The general manager has been assured
by those in a position to know that a
United States man-of-war would be in the
harbor during festival week. Messrs.
Chace of the Pacific Ocean House and Sui
livan of the Sea Beach Hotel are receiving
kilograms from people from the outside
who wish to engage rooms during the fes-
tival week. The Postal Telegraph Com
pany has kindly given the use of its lines
free of charge to the president and secre-
tary of the association. The name of
Morris Newton has been placed on the
letter-heads as San Francisco CORE
spondent.
A letter of acceptance has been received
from the City Council, in which it says:
"The Council sends greetings, and wishes
ton in making this carnival the grandest
success of the age. o. J. Lincoln"
The local people are bringing quantities
of flowers to the headquarters to be used
as decorations for the windows and inte-
rior of the rooms.

MR.. WILSON GIVES 1T Up
EXPECTS NO TARIFF OR FINANCIAL
LEGISLATION THIS SESSION.
No Hope of Rope sling the Oce-Te tn Dif-
fe-sntial Oh Bugar--An Extra Sc sion
Probable.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 9.-It is
worthy of note that some of the most
distinguished Democrats doubt very much
whether there will be any financial lesis-
lation at this session. Chairman W. l..
Wilson, of West Virginia, says;
81 do not now see how IL Is possible
that any financial or tariff legislation
shall be accomplished by this Congress.
The action of the steering committee OF
the Republican Senate would seem TO
indicate that il is not possible TO repeal
the one-tenth differentii6 on sugar, which.
it is claimed, is the basis of the opposition
of the Germans 10 our tariff law, ana
which has resulted In the embargo upon
the importation into the German Empire
of American beef products. There seems
now to be no reason to believe that the
Republican senator's will cooperate TO
secure the passage of the bill which
have introduced to repeal this one-tenth
differential. That being the case. of
course, there is no possibility that any
legislation OF that sort can be adopted.
And as for the currency legislation, II
does not seem to me to be practical to
pass any law to reform the currency. In
fact. as | look al the situation. | do not
see how it. is possible to avoid an extra
session of the next Congress. | have had
no conversation with the President upon
this subject. | do not know what his
views may be. | do not assume to speak
with any authority of him. But, speaking
as | would II | were In the place of the
President. | must say that | can see no
way in which an eXtra-yession of the
F'ifty-fourth Congress can be avoided. I
certainly. If ! were the President Of the
United States, would not remain here for
nine months. and assume the RESPONSE
bility for the continued issue of bonds
in order to maintain the Government. 1t
seems 10 me that the proper Democratic
policy Is to enact some currency legisla-
tion i'm this Congress, which will relieve
the Government from its embarrassment
But II that shall prove to be impossible, It
seems to me that the only course for the
President 10 pursue is TO call the next
Congress together. and to inform them
that he has appealed I'm vain TO the Fifty
third Congress for legislation which is
necessary to save the Government from
embarrassment. and that. having failed
In that. he will ask the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress TO attempt to do the work which
the Fifty-third Congress has failed to
accomplish"
This statement Of Chairman Wilson is
of very great Importance, as indicating
what some of the gentlemen who are very
near to the President think of the situa-
ton.
