CAME TO BLOWS.
A Little Fight in the Office of the City
Zanjero.

The usual quiet of the city zanjeros
13lIlSS in the city hall was rudely broken
yesterday morning by personal alter
cation between statesman Mike Deck
man and Statesman Biggs two of the
deputies. Both of the gentlemen named
do politics in the sixth ward and there
has been some feeling between them for
the past five or six years, growing out
of the failure of one or the other of them
to carry out some deal or combination
in which they were both Interested.
Yesterday there was not much doing out
on the bitches, ana the rival statesmen
met in the office of their chief, wheii the
question of politics came up and States
man Biggs was giving his version OF the
old matter when Deckman interrupted
him by calling him liar. lBiggs resent
ed the insult by smashing at Deckman.
when the two men clinched and fell over
a chair. Before anything further could
be done Deputy Erbst, the office deputy,
interfered and separated the combat
ants and Deckman left the office. a
broken chair was the only damage

tation lines and the shippers, for they
are dependent upon each other.
There should be no feeling of rivalry
between Los Angeles and San Francis
co, or between Los Angeles and San
Diego. There is business enough for us
all. There is no reason why Los An
geles should not be to San Francisco
what Philadelphia is to New York. We
have here the most magnificent country
in the world. There is no country more
diversified in climate ard resources, and
Southern California is pre-eminent as
the region of perpetual sunshine and
flowers.

M. White, and my Republican colleague
in the house, James McLachlan, did
their duty in fighting for the interests

Southern California wanted, and did
their best for this section. We all were

STRIFE OF The -FOUR CITIES.
What the Leading Convention Candidates
are Doing In Washington.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The four rival
cities. New York, Chicago. st. Louis
and Cincinnati, which are applicants
for the Democratic national convention.
have established their headquarters at
the Arlington, and the campaign for the
prize is being carried on with vigor.
The delegation from Cincinnati, headed
by NJ. Z. Ingalls,, was the last TO ar
rive. The boomers from the Queen
city, while not particularly enthusiastic
over their prospects, say that they in
tend to make an honest effort to secure
the convention. Governor Stone of Mis-
souri,; John II. Carroll, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
and James Campbell, reinforced the ST.
Louis delegation today and ex-Mayor
Gilroy and United States Marshal Nc
Carly came over from New York ahead
of the big Tammany delegation expect
ed tonight. The Chicago boomers have
prepared a great array Of arguments.
climatic, geographical and gastronomi-
cal, why the convention should go to
the city of the lake.
There is a disposition among outsid-
ers ito inject the financial question in
10 sight and to array the free silver
men against New York, but the men,
bers of the committee declare that this
issue is not involved. 1t seems likely,
however, that the fact that it has been
practically decided to hold the conven-
ton later than usual. in July or Aug
ust, will initiate against the chances OF
ST. Louis and Cincinnati. To night
the victory seems TO lie between New
York and Chicago. The Chicago del
egation, headed by Judge Adam a.
= Ia -
argument in behalf of the windy city
arrived during the evening. Colonel ].
r. Fellows is expected TO make the prin-
cipal speech before the committee in
behalf of the Metropolitan city and
probably viii be followed by Simeon
Ford, represent ting the hotel men, and
G. Waldo Smith, the business men. The
New Workers are counting on from Is
to is votes on the first ballot, with
cOnSi derable increase on the second,
should a second be necessary to deter
mine a choice. Ex-Governor Stone is
expected 10 make the principal speech
for st. Louis. Senator Vest also may
speak. In Cincinnati's behalf ar. z.
ingalls, and John E. FOllett are expect
ed TO argue.
The various headquarters were thron-
ged with large crowds during the even
ing and all the delegates are busy IN
pressing their claims and holding con-
ferences and mapping out the work for
tomorrow All the members Of the na-
tional committee have either arrived
themselves or are represented by proxy
The committee meets al II o'clock n
the morning and the present expecta-
ton is thar the presentation Of arEu-
ments in favor Of the respective cities
viii begin al 3 O'Clock IN the afternoon.

PENSION SPEECHES IN THE HOUSE
Besides Which. Grow Scores The Executive
Letter-WritinG Habit.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Another day
| was consumed by the house on oratOry
| upon the pension appropriation bill, in
| the course of which the policy Of the
| preSe mt administrat ton towards the Vet
Grams was scored by both Republicans
| and Democrats. and defended by two or
| three Democrats. The most notable in
Uident Of the debate was the attack
made by Mr. Grow Of Pennsylvania, up
on what he termed the extraordinary al
! tempt by the president and his clerks -
encroach upon the prerogatives OF the
I legislative branch of the government He
denounced Secretary Carlisle for send
ing a financial bill to congress, and the
action of the president in having read
the famous letter 10 Mr.. Catchings. on
the Wilson bill just before vote on the
bill, which, he said, was an attempt 10
| influence the vote. Congress should re-
sent encrOachments upon its preroga-
tives, Mr.. Grow declared.
Mr.. Walsh Dem, y. " did not think
that provision of the law a proper one
which compels widow to show that she
depends upon her daily labor for sup
port before she can secure a pension.
Mr.. Mccall CRep., TENN believed
that the pension laws We're good, but
were not enforced in the proper spirit.
Mr.. Hanley CRep., Ind spoke in favor
Of an amendment providing for the re-
dropped therefroIn.
Mr.. Hardy Rep., Ind) thought the
debt to the soldier had never been paid
and favored more liberal pensions.
Mr. Lacey (Rep., Ia.) predicted that
the 104, 900 cases of pensioners dropped
or suspended from the rolls by the pres
ent commissioner would be reviewed by
the next administration, and many Of
them restored, and asked that nothing
be done to prevent a review by one COM
missioner of his predecessors work.
Mr.. Mines Rep., Mich) wanted every
soldier who served ninety days 10 have
a pension.
Mr.. Crowther Rep., MOI advocated
the hearing of pension cases in state
rather than federal courts.
Mr.. Low (Rep., n. V and Mr.. Spald-
ing (Rep., Mich) spoke in favor of the
bill, and both believed that a pension
should be a vested right.
Mr.. Picker Rep., S. d.. chairman of
the committee on invalid pensions,
stated that the present bill did not. in the
estimation of the committee, go far
enough. The committee would draw up
and present a bill bearing on the ad-
ministration of pension laws and to
facilitate the taking of testimony.
Mr.. Grow Rep., PENN opposed the
idea of communications being sent 10
the house by the president and cabinet
officers for the purpose Of debating leg
islation, and referred to the letter sent
by the president to Catchings.
"This house." he said. should resent
any attempt by the president or his
clerks to dictate legislation to the
house."
Then, at 405 p. m, the house adjourn
ed until tomorrow.

day the speaker announced the appoint

TIDE OF GOLD MAY TURN
Governor of the Bank of England dag
noses the Coin situation.

London. Jan. 15.-At the half-yearly
meeting of the Union Bank of London
the new governor of that institution, F.
o. Schuster, said that the prevailing
impression that the large increase in
the stock OF gold in London was due
TO increased production was only par
tally true. L was from the United
States, he added, chiefly that the in
crease was received. The imports from
the United States continued Mr.. Sohus-
ter, were due to the currency troubles
and the want OF confidence arising
therefrom. But, in his opinion. the
troubles would not continue much long
er and when these difficulties wereover-
come. as he could not but hope they
would be sooner or later. the tide might
turn the current into the opposite dlrec-
ton and it might set In with great
rapidity and force.
In reply to a question on the sub
ject, Mr. SchuSter said that IL was
true that Mrs. Dangury had brought
an action to recover for the loss OF
her jewels. which were entrusted 10 the
care of the bank and which were OBJ
tanned from 1t by a forged order. Mr..
Schuscer added, however. that the
bank was resisting Mrs. Langtry's
claim The Jewels have been variously
estimated at values from SO. 900 TO $780,
