The Republican senators are said to
be quite well united in support Of the
arbitration treaty with its proposed
amendments and Senator Sherman is
endeavoring to get vote on it. II
is not difficult to suppose that the
Republican senators would prefer to
have the treaty disposed Of at this
session than to go over to interfere,
perhaps, with such important legisla-
ton as the tariff bill. II the measure
is delayed it will be because Of the
opposition Of the free silver Democrats
and administration haters. Thus far
the attitude OF the Republican senators
has been most commeudable. They
insisted upon careful consideration OF
the matter and the safeguarding Of the

SANTA ANA

SANTA ANA. July 1S.-(Regular Cor
respondence) The strong opposition to the
course pursued by the library board in
selecting q librarian has taken definite
form in a petition requesting Trustees
Keech. Galloway and French to resign
their offices. The petition first appeared
last night in charge of a prominent citi-
zen, and is being extensively signed by
taxpayers and citizens of influence. The
prayer of the petitioners. which is ad-
dressed to the three trustees mentioned,
is unequivocal. 1t reads as follows:
I'VE your petitioners, respectfully ask
you to resign as public servants in the
capacity of library trustees of the Santa
Ana library for the reason that you do
not represent the wishes of the voters,
taxpayers and citizens of said city in the
discharge of your duties"
Although the ballot which decided the
contest for Guardianship was secret, it is
generally understood that Trustees Keech,
Galloway and French cast the three votes
which turned Mrs. Kernodle down, and
those who are circulating the petition con-
fiiertiy assert that they have made no
mistake Doubtless the board, for obvious
reasons, intended the ballot to remain one
of the mysteries of their proceedings, for
even the two members who are supposed
to have cast their votes for Mrs. kernodle
are las silent as the moon" when cues
toned on this point. In an interview last
night one of the two admitted that the
record of the ballot was sworn secret,
but he afterward declared that he did not
know how the vote was composed. The
board held a star-chamber session. at
which the matter was practically settled
before the regular meeting.
Trustee Keech does not attempt to con-
ceal his own position, for he is outspoken
and quotes Vanderbilt fluently when re-
ferring to the petitioners who asked for
Mrs. Remedies reappointment 1t is said
the old soldiers are after the trustees with
a sharp stick, and it is possible that they
are to some extent responsible for this last
petition, although it is being signed by
all classes of citizens without regard to
their affiliations. The interest of the vet
Grams in the controversy is aroused
through fraternal sympathy, Mrs ker-
noble being the widow of an old soldier
and a member of the w. R. G..
A large party of Santa Anans, who at
tended the Christian Endeavor convention,
returned yesterday by steamer, disempark-
ing at Newport.
