IAIith q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that 80 many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why 1t Is the only
remedy with millions of families, andi Is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Zig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informcd everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

NO PLANS CHOSEN.
Supervisors Still Listening While Ar
chitects Explain Elaborate PIans
for Municipal Building.

n
No decision was reached by the Super
visors last night in regard to the plans for
the new municipal building or Kearny
and Washington streets. The Committee
on Buildings reported back the plans OF
five architects without recommendation.
These plans were then reconsidered by the
board acting as a committee of the whole,
and on motion of Supervisor King the
beard adjourned till next Friday evening,
when any OF the other architects who may
desire to explain their plans will be heard.
The five architects whose plans were
chosen as the best were Messrs. Banks,
Mooser, Shea, Newsom and Smith d Free
man.
TGere were no more indications of an
agreement than on the last time the board
discussed the plans, and at the very be-
ginning a question asked OF Architect
Banks by Supervisor Hobbs indicated that
a still further delay might be desired by
the board. Mr.. Hobbs wanted to know II
Mr.. Banks would object to putting his
plans on exhibition at the pavilion in
couple of weeks?
II don't see the use of the delay" was
the answer; 1.-The citizens would not go to
see them"
"lt would be their own fault then," Mr..
Hobbs replied
Mr.. Banks expressed Willingness to ex-
hibit his plans as long as it might be
deemed necessary.
There was no discussion as to the COM
parative merits of the plans. The COM
mittee of the whole merely reported that
the five plans had been examined. The
opinion was expressed that Fridays meet
ing would bring the matter to an issue.

for commission TO go to Japan to investi-
gate the labor problem, but the commission
has not yet been appointed. Mr.. Porter's
investigation is personal and unconnected
with it. He proposes remaining in the
land of the chrysanthemum till the last OF
May. He wants to get home in time for
the st. Louis convention.
Mr.. Porter is strong believer in the
ultimate nomination of William Mckinley
for President. He says he has lately been
all through the New England States and
in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
other States of the West. The feeling, he
thinks Tom Reed has no show, nor has
Cullom. AS for Mr.. Allison, he says he is
a very good man. but, after all, the greatest
thing he has done was to pass the inter
state commerce law, and he says every
body knows what that amounts to.
on the second ballot, and that then he will
win so much enthusiasm that there will be
a general break for him.
IA birdseye view Of the Presidential out
look in New York." he said, sreveals a
lukewarm and apoplectic campaign for Mr..
Morton.
"In Pennsylvania Mr.. Quay has himself
on his hands. He can't hold his own peo-
pie from going for Mckinley. He will get
the favorite son vote; that is he will get it
as compliment the first time, and after
that he will be nowhere.
"William Penn Nixon, who as editor of
the Inter Ocean, the powerful newspaper
which has been putting forth Cullom's
claims, says it is conceded Mckinley will
go into the convention at st. Louis with
more votes than any other man, adds:
If Mckinley is not nominated on the sec
ond ballot, then 1 shall regard Mr.. Gull
IONS chances as good as those OF any
other candidate
1.-THE fact is, all over the country Mr..
McKinley's great strength is being fast
conceded. He has been the central figure
in the last three great political campaigns,
and is now the legitimate and logical can
didate.
1T is admitted that the next Presid ent
will be Republican. Mr.. Mckinley, as
the able exponent of the tariff, and as
always one Of the truest and abiest Repub-
licans, will undoubtedly, believe, be the
man who will be nominated"
Mr.. Porter says he doesn't know the
Pacific Coast because he hasn't been here
long enough. In Southern California,
however, he found an enormous number OF
Republicans who were for the Ohio states
man.
Mr.. Porter is accompanied by his wife
and children. He will probably sail in
about a week.

OCTOPUS BOUND.

The Railroad Commission Meets as
Usual, but Its Hands Are Tied by
the Railway Suit.
The Railroad Commission met yesterday
in this City, but owing to the illness OF
Commissioner Stanton no business was
transacted.
A letter was received from George w.
Reed, attorney for the Oakland, San Le-
andre and Haywards Electric Railway
Company, asking an extension OF time for
reply in the case of the company,
charged with being accountable to the
commission since it carried freight and
passengers. The case was postponed until
the next monthly meeting of the commits
sion. AS the company discontinued car
rying freight on March l. it is likely that
the complexion of the case has been
changed and the matter will be dropped.
The commission is waiting the result OF
the Southern Pacific trial in the United
States courts, and, meanwhile, it receives
no recognition as formerly from the rail
way Indeed none Of the TRANSPORTATION
lines in California are paying any atten-
ticn to the commission, now that Its
validity is under judicial consideration.

Warrant Out for the Arrest of George
l.. Montserrat, an Actor.
Sarah Montserrat swore out warrant
in Judge Lows court yesterday for the ar
rest of George L. Montserrat, her reputed
husband, on the charge of failure to pro-
vide.
She stated that while in the East her
husband deserted her, and she met Mont
serrat, who is an actor. They came to
Sacramento together, where they have
lived as man and wife for over two years.
Two chilaren have been born to them, the
youngest being only about month old.
Shortly before the birth of her last child
she sued Montserrat for alimony. but she
lost her case, as they had not been legally
married. The case attracted public atten-
tion in Sacramento, and Montserrat left
that city and came here. She followed him,
and learning that he had secured an en-
gagement at the Alcazar, she yesterday
swore out the warrant for his arrest.

What They Will Demand and

trail Committee.
THE JUNTA CREATING PEACE.
Chris Buckley and Others Talk All
Sorts of Political Wisdom and
Prophecies.

The Democratic war clouds, that are ex-
pected to break with tremendous dis
turbance at the meeting of the State
Central Committee next Saturday after
noon, thickened yesterday.
The Buckleyites have about put on the
finishing touches to their war paint, and
they have marshaIed the ablest and
bravest of their generals and orators in
preparation for the expected battle over
the question OF whether or not Gavin Nc
Nab's Rainey-Daggett organization is to
gain the prestige OF recognition by the
State Central Committee.
The Buckley general committee held a
rousing special meeting in Odd Fellows
Hall last night and adopted fierce resolu-
tlons declaring the stand of the Buckley
faction. A committee with full dis
cretionary powers was appointed to de-
fend the interests of the Buckley side at
their discretion and to any extent of their
war resources, and to concede, treat or re-
treat, as they may deem best. This was
the first heavy gun of the battle to be fired.
The Junta's anti-Buckley general COM
mittee will meet in Pioneer Hall this
evening. Resolutions will be adopted and
a committee of some sort appointed. The
chief interest concerns the display of
Rainey's strength, if any such display is
made. AS Herculean efforts are being
made to avoid row with the
RaineyDaggett forces and TO avoid
any indication that Rainey's strength is
large, it is not likely that the row that has
seemed certain will come off. Concessions
have been made to the Maxwell faction in
the Fourty-fourth to avoid striking on that
rock. Tom Maxwell held a conference
with Chairman Sullivan last night, and an
agreement about the delegates from the
Forty-fourth will likely be reached to-day.
Buckley has returned to town, and yes
terday he said in an interview that it was
all none of the State Central Committees
business, but If the committee made the
local mess its business it would have to do
something broad and fair or the people
would rise in rebellion and there would be
two delegations to the State convention.
That is the position of the Buckley
element from its top 10 its bottom. 1t is
ready with heavyweight orators, wit
nesses and affidavits to establish and de-
fend the right it claims to be 1.-The"
regular local party, but is ready and
anxious for primary OF the whole party.
Ii this is not conceded it will march
right ahead to the State convention
ignoring every thing done to stop it.
Gavin McNab and other representatives
of the Junta have ready fierce and eloquent
speeches denouneing Buckley as every
thing that is vile, and as a traitor to the
party. But then the Junta is SO largely
Rainey and Daggett that there appears no
prospect of its getting the prestige of ex-
elusive recognition from the State Central
Committee or for there being anything
else than a new deal for the local party, at
which Buckley will win possibly with the
assistance of Rainey when the time comes.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Two Charges Preferred Against Jane
Lull of Berkeley.

Two Charges Preferred Against James
Lull of Berkeley.
James Lull, man about 40 years OF age,
was arrested on Powell street Yesterday
afternoon by Detectives Gibson and Wren
and booked at the City Prison on two
charges of forgery.
When Luis father, who was wealthy
resident of Berkeley. died, he was left $500
to be paid to him in instaIlments by S. b.
Patterson, the executor of the estate. He
overdrew the amount, and the executor
refused to honor any more of his checks.
To get money Lull resorted to forging
the name of S. B. Patterson to several
checks and cashed them in various places.
On February Is forged check for $45
drawn on the Central Bank, Oakland. was
cashed by S. r. Mount of the Russ House
bar. and on Tuesday night a forged check
for similar amount was cashed by the
proprietor of che Auditorium saloon on
