Bitter Fight A0ainstaG Btll to EstGbEish h

AetC County.
CHICAGO, ILL, Feb 26.-A Chronicle
special from Denver, Colo, says: Charges
of bribery have been made in connection
with the new county 1t is proposed to es-
tablish with the Cripple Greek mining dis
trict Tor center. The district Is extremely
wealthy, pays heavy tax and the propo-
sition is bitterly fought by the people of
Colorado Springs, the excuse being that it
will mean a high tax rate for the older
sections of Ell Paso County to have the
mining districts cut off.
The bill 10 esta blish Sylvanite County
is supported by the miners, who object to
travelling around fifty to ninety miles to
reach a county seat that bird could fly
to in twenty-five miles. bat" Master
son, famous as the cowboy Sheriff of
Dodge City in the cattle days, now charges
that attempts have been made to bribe
Legislators to defeat the bill and that as
much as $500 had been offered.
The charges threw the Senate into a
convulsion yesterday. A committee was
appointed to investigate them. Master
son will give time, figures, dates and
names, so he says.

ANGELENOS SEE
TROUBLE AHEAD
The Municipal Census Bill
Believed to Contain
a Joker"
May Place the City's Patronage
in the Hands of the
Governor.
With 100, 900 Popul alton Los Angeles
Would Come Under State
Control.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 26.-The
municipal census bill, which has Just bee n
signed by Governor Budd, providing for a
special census of California cities, con-
tains, so far as it shall become operative
in this municipality, what is believed to
be a Joker" 1t is understood that the
bill was introduced at the solicitation OF
Postmaster John K. Matthews OF this
city. Matthews has for years desired an
increased allowance for help in the mail
service of this city, rendered almost i'm
perative as a result OF extending the
boundary lines of the municipality, as
well as by the rapid increase of the popu-
lation.
General Matthews learned from the de-
partment at Washington that before an
extra allowance could be granted here it
would be necessary for the Legislature of
this State, by special enactment, to make
provision for a new census OF the City,
and if such census showed the increase
claimed by the Postmaster, the additional
allowance would be granted if otherwise,
the increase asked for would have to be
deferred until after the Government CEN
sus of 1900. General Matthews. it is said,
thereupon drafted the bill and sent it,
with his explanation. to Sacramento. The
plaE seemed so reasonable and business
like that no one questioned the propriety
of the measure and Invent through almost
unanimously.
But the bill might have been EMIT led,
IAN act to increase the appointive power
of the Governor of California" In other
words, if Los Angeles Is shown by the new
census to have q population OF 100 00n it
will be put in the same category as San
francisco and subject to the same law. In
this case the Governor will have the ap-
pointment of the Police Commission, the
Health Department officials and Others
and in large measure the control of the
municipal patronage will be placed in his
hands. Governor Budd would, of course,
place mem bers of his own party in power
and dispIace about score OF epublicans
who came into Office just few weeks ago.
