habit of making extravagant demands on |
the state treasury. He insisted, notwith-
standing Senator Voorhees, denial, that
the farmers of the state do contribute to
the state treasury through heavy freight
rates, etc. He did not want to be under
stood to be lacking in patriotism or state
pride, but for his part he believed that
Vice President-e1ect Hobart would be
more honored by the volunteer associa-
tons of his fel1ow-citizens than by the
paid troops of the state. He held that
our republican institutions make incon-
sistent an escort of the militia, and make
an escort of the people the only proper
thing.
| Senator Kuh1 took much the same
ground as Senator Parry, and opposed the
bill further on the ground of the discrim-
ination and favoritism which would be
shown in selecting the troops. He had a
little company at Lambertville, for in
stance, which would like to go along, but
it would not be represented. Nobody
man elected to the Vice Presidency, but
he would go as citizen and pay his own
expenses if he wanted to go.
Senator Skirm took the floor to correct
some statements of Senator Kuhl. There
was to be no favoritism. 1t was impossi
BILE to send the whole national guard, and
of course some choice would be neces-
sary, but the selection would be on the
ground of convenience of location.
1t required II votes to carry the bill,
and when the vote was called it showed as
follows:
Ayes-Francis, H. w. johnson, Reed,
Skirm, Stanger, Stokes, Voorhees,, Vree-
land, Williams-o.
Nays-Barber, Gould, Kuhl, Miller,
Parry, Ross.
Absent-Daly, Engle, Herbert, Hof-
man, w. M. Johnson, Ketcham-6.
The Senate adjourned to last evening.
The House passed the bill forbidding
the feeding to cows of house or hotel gar
bage, or impure, sour, fermented or pu-
triied substances.
A resolution by Mr.. Wildes was adopt
ed, providing that when the House adj
journed it be to meet on Saturday, and
that when it then adjourn, it be to meet
on Tuesday morning, in order to give the
members an opportunity to observe Wash
ington's birthday. Mr.. Derousse suggest
ed that the House meet Monday evening
and hold a meeting in honor of Washing
ton, but the suggestion was not agreed to.
Adjourned until this morning.

SENsATIoNALIsM is not confined to the
press by any means. but it frequently
creeps into the pulpit, the last place where
it should ever gain foothold. The latest
utterances that have created a stir are
those of the Rev. James M. Buckley, who
has declared his belief that the Bible is not
infallible, a statement that will be hailed
with delight by may who grasp at any
slight pretext to bolster them in a desire
to show that the Bible is not worthy of
belief Robert Ingersoll, the great in
fdel, will probably smile with satisfaction
at the aid given him in several of his posi-
tons, by the statement of DIR. Buckley.
The latter is great student and is un-
doubleday prepared to offer argument in
favor of the stand he has taken. Perhaps
the first passage he will attempt to show
the fallibility of will be that which saws
Train up child in the way he shall go,
and when he is old he will not depart
from 1t" as he might be living exempli-
fication of that instance, for no man ever
received better training Sin the way he
should go" especially upon the point OF
revering the Bible than did DIR. Buckley.
In the last issue of the Christian Advo-
cate, of which DR.. Buckley is the editor,
he says he has only reiterated what emf
nent divines have said before that the
Englfsh version is not infallible How
this helps the matter is not easy to discern
as the English version is what is relied
upon by those seeking light and to attack
it at this time is very poor occupation for
any one, especially minister of the gos-
pei and one who has sought to gain the
highest seat in the councils of his church.

AN EFFORT is being made to reform the
fee system so far as it refers to Justices of
the Peace in criminal cases. At present
when man goes before justice to enter
complaint the fees are charged to the
county. 1t is now proposed that the COM
plainant must pay the costs. This is a
just measure 1t is very easy for any one
to vent his grievances in a minor court,
with the knowledge that the proceeding
does not entail any expense upon him.
Of course it is discretionary with the JUS
tice whether he will take any notice of
the matter, but the average justice always
with sure fees before his gaze, manages to
see some good reason for issuing a war
rant. Justices are compelled to make re-
turns of all complaints, and those who
have served on grand juries can bear wit
ness to the effect that majority of the
cases brought to the attention of that body
are trivial and expensive. change in
the system of imposing and collecting fees
in criminal cases would have a beneficial
effect, as the discretionary power" of
justices would undoubtedly be often ex-
ercised if the pay was not sure to come
from the county treasury.

DR.. Rottanzi spoke in favor of municipal
ownership and his own resolution and
charged that the Alameda investment OF
the Spring Valley Water Company was
not made because water was needed from
that county, but to prevent other compa-
nies from competing. He quoted figures
from previous reports and said: Ihe
skill of the water company's eminent en-
gineer in building dams is not so great as
his skill in engineering high rates through
the Board of Supervisors"
The doctor said the average reduction
of ra es in his amendment was 17.46 per
cent, IL per cent on meter rates, % per cent
on shipping and far more on hydrants,
for the purpose of lowering insurance
rates and encouraging the placing of more
hydrants.
The following two sections in Dr.. Rot
tanzi's amend ment are wholly new, max
ing it poss BILE to fine the officers of the
water company for shutting off water
ar arbitrarily:
ton supplying wafer can arbitrarily shut
of water when any person. company or cor
porasion should demonstrate about over
charges; but when any person, firm or cor
poratio snould demand Investigations of
such overcharges, thereby placing the amount
OF such charges in es crow, they shall con-
tlnue TO be supplied with water until such
charges are thoroughly investigated and set
tied.
Sec. II. Any person, company or corpora
ton violating the provisions of any section of
this order shall be deemed guilty of Iuisde-
meanor and punishable either by fine OF
not less than 500 nor more than $500 or by
lmprisonmen Mt in the County Jail for not less
than thirty or more than ninety days, or by
both such fine and Imprisonment
Supervisor Smith moved that the clerk
of the board be instructed to furnish a
copy OF DR.. Rottansi's order to every
mem ber of the board, after which the

day to day being also embraced in the
motion.
Attorney Kellogg OF the water CON-
pany stated that the company did not
want the rates fixed hurriedly, as he
anted time to show the fallacies of the
boards position. He held that the pro-
posed action would reduce the company's
dividends to less than per cent.
DR.. Clinton replica that the com mittee's
report was based on facts brought out by
the investigation, and he thought they
were fair.
Supervisor Smith thought the commit
tees rate would not benefit the poor peo-
pie. out the landlords OF the City only
Engineer Schussler asked permission to
speak. He said: IL wish to correct some
OF Dr. Cinton's errors. l forgive DR..
Rottanz for he knows no better"

mistakes. II nave made any they have
not been willful.
Mr.. Schussier then said that the figures
of DR.. Clinton would re iuce the COM
nany's interest to ABOUT per cent, while
DR.. Rottanzi's would bring it to per
cent Dr.. Rottanzi insisted that his rate
wonld not reduce the income to 3 per
cent if the basis of $4,000, ,OOD capitaliza-
ton, instead of a watered stock basis OF
$12. 100000, be figure upon by the board.

ROBBED BY A PICKPOCKET.
Her Purse Taken While Leaving tho

Ferry-Boat on Her Way to
San Rafael.
Mrs. Eleanor Martin, the well-known
society leader. had her pocket picked by
an enterprising thief Tuesday morning
while on the way to the Hotel Rafael at
San Rafael.
Mrs. Martin went over on the II o'clock
boat that carried the bulk of those bound
TO Schuezan Park to attend the retail gro-
GERS picnic, and it was while leaving the
steamer that the iight-fingered gentry
successfully piled their trade andrelieved
Mrs Martin of her valuables.
There was big crowd en- the steamer,
and when the gangplank was let down
several hundred people made a rush for
the wharf to secure good seats in the train.
Mrs. Martin was jostled number Of
times but thought nothing of it rtil she
reached her seat in the cars, when she
looked for her pocket.book and found it
missing.
On reaching San Rafael Mrs. Martin
telephoned to Chief of Police Lees, and
the Chief promised to make determined
effort to locate the pickpocket and recover
the valuables stolen.
So far as Mrs. Martin can rem member
there was about $40 In money in the purse.

silver.
In addition Mrs. Martin lost a number
of valuable trinkets and some papers that
she is 10th to part with. 1t is these docu-
ments that the lady is most anxious to re-
cover, her great wealth making the none
tary loss small matter to her.
Mrs. Martin is the mother of ]. Downey
Harvey, the well-known man about town,
and her sister was the late Mrs. Peter

The Supervisors met as committee OF
the whole last night to consider the aues-
ton of fixing water rates for the year. The
body did not convene until after O'Clock.
though there was considerable caucusing
in advance. When Mayor Phelan called
the com mittee to order the following were
present: Haskins, Delaney, Dodge Lack
man, Rottanzi, Morton, Britt, Smith and
Clinton.
Mayor Phelan stated that the Supreme
Court had decided that the Mayor had no
right to participate in the fixing OF rates,
and he would not violate the law. He
said the fixing of water rates was the most
important function the board could eIer-
else.
The committee elected Supervisor Dodge
chairman for the evening and Mayor
Phelan took a seat in the audience as a
spectator. DR.. Clinton then read the re-
port of the water committee, which was
in part IS follows:
SAN FRANCISCO. May 90 1897.
To the Honorable Beard OF Supervisors OF the
City and County Of San Francisco
The extended investigation made this year
into the subject of water rates by the board
has convinced your committee that early steps
should be taken by this City TO acquire muni-
cipal ownership OF its own water supply and
works.
The annual attempts, whether real or merely
specious, to obtain by investigation the data
upon which to fix rates that shall be just and
lair, both to the water company and TO the
consumers, are painfully demoralizing in their
effect upon the community.
These annually recurring investigations by
the Board OF Supervisors are popularity be-
lieved to be schools for perjury, in which men
who, during the rest of the year. are regarded
as honorable business and profess onal men
appear before the public in the role OF fradu-
lent concealers of facts, special pleaders and
falsifers.
And when the investigations are completed
and the rates for the year are fixed, the belief
becomes deeply impressed on the public mind
that g ''solid seven'' or a "solid nine" have
once more been bribed to violate their ante
election pledges and to betray their constit-
uents. The moral effect of all this upon The
community is necessarily pernicious.
But there Is no possible way of avoiding ii
except by the City's construction or acquisi-
lion OF It's own water works.
No investigation is needed to convince he
great majority of the rate-payers OF San Fran
cisco that they are paying excessive rates for
water.
There is no satisfactory reason why this City

were referred to appropriate committees.
These resolutions were adopted:
Resolred, That we are believers in the theory
advanced by Rev. Father Mclaughlin and
Rev. Father Phillips Conway that the A. o. H.
Board of Erin has no use for member born of
Chinese father vice versa. as in Ireland
mixed or hy brids were not known in con-
Quoting the affairs OF the A. o. H., nor
were they ever admitted to membership;
Resolred, That the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans Board OF Erin recognizes the fact tina t
as American citizens, while we owe our allie
glance TO America, still we cannot help think
ing reverently of the land of our birth.
Resotued, That in view of the stirring events
of 1898, at the centennial next year, at q
time 10 be decided on, the A. o. H. Board of
Erin give literary entertainment, the pro-
gramme of which is to oe of an Irish national
character.

Australia and hope the utmost confidence

port and urged the importance OF taking
early steps to obtain city control. He
held that delay might result in combina-
tions to put up the price of the works. He
held that the fixing of water rates was the
crucial test of the honesty of the board.
Supervisor Smith opposed the resoiu-
ton and report of the com mittee, holding
that an injustice was done to business
houses and an opportunity left for the
company to raise rates in business centers
to recoup themselves for their losses on
household reductions. He held, alsc,
that there was no provision for meter
rates.
DR.. Rottanzi offered an amendment to
the order provided by the committee.
The amendment cut down the sum pro-
vided for Lydrants from $189 600 to $780,
600. DR.. RottanzIs resolution provides
the following rates for buildings occupied
