inasmuch as Los Angeles had appeared
before the board with raise OF 30 per
cent, San Francisco should do as much.
1t had increased its roll about per cent,
and if his motion was carried he thought
1t would equalize matters between the two
counties.
Chesebrough remarked that the roll OF
Los Angeles County had been increased
because its Assessor had promised the
board to do so last year. He thought the
raise was pretty big, and did not think it
fair to allow Los Angeles to set the pace
for San Francisco.
There was no second to Arnold's mo-
ton, and Beamer moved to raise San
Francisco 20 per cent. This was seconded
by MoreAeuse and the motion was carried.
Ayes-Arnold, Beamer Morehouse.
Noes -Chesebrough, Colgan.
Beamer then moved to raise Alameda
County 10 per cent, but there was no sec
ond, and Arnold moved TO raise it per
cent, saying that this, he thought, would
bring it on a par with Los Angeles. More
house seconded the motion and it was car
RED Arnold. Beamer and Morehouse
voted aye Colgan voted no, and CHEESE
brough refused to vote.
Arnold moved to decrease Monterey 5
per cent. Colgan raised the point that 5
per cent amounted to so little that it was
scarcely worth the time and trouble of
figuring the rolls. Morehouse seconded
Arnold's motion.
Ayes-Arnold, Beamer, Morehouse, Col
gan.
Noes-Chesebrough
Beamer next moved to raise Sacramento
10 per cent. Morehouse said that Sacra-
mento's total was $50, 600 900. OF this
about So, 100000 was for business property
along and K streets. With the excep-
tion of the business property Sacramento
was well assessed and he thought it would
be hard to raise the whole county 10 per
cent in order to get the business property
up to nearer its true value. As there was
no second 10 Beamer's motion Arnold
moved to raise Sacramento per cent. This
was seconded by Morehouse.
Ayes-Arnold, Beamer, Chesebrough,
Morehouse.
Noes-Colgan.
By the same vote San Bernardino
County was raised per cent.
Chesebrough then successively moved
to raise Butte and Solano counties, but
COulO get no SECONDS. he tnen moved to
raise Santa Clara 10 per cent, which was
amended by Arnold to per cent and the
amendment carried, Arnold, Beamer and
Morehouse voting aye and Chesebrough
and ColgaE voting no.
San Diego County was decreased per
cent by unanimous vote of the board.
A motion to reconsider Alameda was
carried, but resulted IN no change of the
raise of 5 per cent.
A motion to reconsider San Diego was
carried, and on final action its assessment
was reduced 10 per cent, Morehouse, COL
gan and Arnold voting aye and Beamer
and Chesebrough no.
Chese brough moved to increase San
Mateo 1G per cent. The county had been
cited before the board, and there was no
second to the motion.
The board adjourned to give the secre-
tary time to figure up the rate of the tax
levy, and half all hour later this was an
nounced as 42.9. Without increases by
the board the levy would have been cents
higher than this.
The boards action has increased the
total assessed property of the State $74,-

man fleet in the harbor was covered with
bunting and each vessel flew the Russian
flag from the maintop in honor OF the
Gar.
The stay of their majesties here was a
short one. The Polar Star, the Russian
imperial yacht, was in the harbor await
ing their coming. and at z O'Clock this
evening their majestes and their suites
went on board of her and she shortly after
started for Denmark.
Prince Henry and Princess Irene went

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Sept. 8.-Returns
received at Republ lean headquarters from
Washington, Woodruff, Carroll, Lonoke,
Crawford Jackson, Pulaski, Ouachita, Sc
bastian, White and Desha counties show a
net Republican gain of 4201 over the vote
of two years ago. These figures in main
tanned throughout the State will increase
the Republican vote over 1894 by 10000
and place the entire vote for the Republi
can ticket at $4,000. an increase OF % per
cent.
Returns from Prairie, Drew, Ashley,
Washington, Crawford, Greene, Desha,
Independence, Cleveland Ouachita, Brad
lev, Jackson and Johnson received at
Democratic headquarters show loss TO
the Democracy of 1885.
On this basis this will give Jones plu-
rality of $1,000 estimating that 100000
votes we're cast. Chairman Cooper of the
Republican State Committee made the
following statement for the press tonight:
..Tne election law plainly directs that
the judges of election shall not all be OF
the same political party, and when the
against the earnest protest of Republi-
cans, appointed Democratic election
judges exclusively in over twenty coun-
ties of this State in violation of the law, 1t
was perfectly well understood that fraud
was intended. 1 do no: hesitate to say
that the appointment of these Democratic
judges and the refusal to appoint one Re-
publican cost the Republican ticket thou
sands of votes and added to the Demo
cratic votes.
"Clark admits that in number of coun-
ties nun ber of Democratic committees
appointed none but Democratic judges,
and he is at loss to know why they did
n hnun nf
Phillips. That will be the question asked
Dy every honest man. Notwithstanding
all these frauds he estimated the vote of
Remmsel, the Republican candid ate for
Governor, has increased so per cent over
his vote in 1894. The silver question
has not increased the Democratic vote or
decreased the Republican vote in this
State"
