Christian Endeavor convention to be held
there in July, is at present in this city.
I'VE came near having the convention
two years ago." he said, ''but could not
then make satisfactory railroad rates.
Now we have fixed round-trip rate that
is the lowest that has ever been given. The
convention of 1897 goes to San Francisco
at the invitation of the State Union Of
California.
In San Francisco, as in other cities.
many leading citizens were unacquainted
with the Endeavor movement, but when
it was explained 10 them they came for
ward with a ready response to raise
$25, 600 to care properly for the convention.
"ln the East l find among business men
a growing interest in the opportunity to
visit the Pacific Coast at "a cost so nominal
as $50 from Chicago TO San Francisco and
back, and one fare for the round trip TO
Chicago. This fare is open to every body"
Mr.. Webster said the Endeavorers
should take warm clothing. as in the
month of July the mean temperature in
San Francisco is so degrees and there is
not little fog. An hour s ride, however,
takes visitors into q warmer climate.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb S-Assem-
bymen Valentine, Cutter, North, Dibble,
Malcolm, Dryden and others made
speeches this morning in favor of the
final passage of Wright's Assembly bill
120, TO levy tax of l cent on each 500 of
taxable property in this State for the pur-
pose of creating fund for additional
support, main; enauce, ETC., of the Uni
versity of California.
The work of The university was highly
praised and the institution was spoken OF
by several of the speakers as a poor man g
institution. Mahoney took exception to
this title. He was a poor man and the
son OF poor man, and he had always
felt desire to go to the university, but
he had never been able to do so because
of the lack of funds to support him while
in the institution should he go there. The
best that he had been able TO do was to
work hard in order TO be able to attend
night school.
Notwithstanding the fact that the uni
versity was practically closed to the chill
dren of the poor, because their parents are
unable 20 support them while they are ct
tending that institution, be would vote in
favor of the bill, and hoped that it would
pass.
The bill was passed without objection,
and was sent 10 the Senate.

Religious Fanatics Rout Federal Troops
and Destroy More Than Sixty
Rich Pin1fnfjons

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. S.-The Her
AIDS special cable from Buenos Ayres
says: Rio Jsneiro advices state tnat the
fanatical insurrectionlsts under Consel-
heiro have now 5000 weIl-armed men or
ganized and concentrated in Bahia.
The people in the rural towns are now
helping the fanatics with arms and money.
Where this help is not given the venge-
ance of Conselheiro's band falls upon the
settlers. In this manner more than sixty
rich plantations have already been de-
stroyed. The Government has been in
formed that several foreigners havei oined
the fanatics and are pushing forward a
more scientific military organization
among them.
Two small towns were pillaged and
burned by the fanatics yesterday. IN sew
eral skirmishes with the federal TT, ops the
latter were defeated. The fanatics have
obtained steam launches ana now patrol
the rivers and streams in the districts
where they are strongest In this way the
range of devastation committed by them
is extended, and the utmost terror pre-.
walls in that region.
The press of Rio Janeiro now demands
that the Government Immediately send
much stronger force TO Bahia to overcome
the fanatical movement.
The Society of Spiritualists of Rio ia
metro has sent a commission to Bahia to
attempt to convince the fanatics that it
will be we'll for them to submit to the
Government in temporal matters. 1t is
again charged by the press of Brazil that
the enemies of the republic are the insti-
gators of the outbreak.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT ACT.

Compensation of Officers Appears a
Knotty Problem to solre.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. s.-That
bogie bill, the county government act, oc-
cupied most of to-day's session OF the
Senate as u special order. Each session
this measure takes up from two to ten
days in each house. to the exclusion of all
other business. This bill, as submitted by
the Senate Committee on County Govern
ments, comprises $50 pages, or about
sc, 900 words, and il will take, it is e1-
pected, about week in each house TO r
consideration.
The sections fixing the salaries of the
various county officers are the STUN bling
blocks, as each mem ber has more or less
changes to make at each session and he Is
generally between two hot fires. On the
one side are the county officials with their
demands for increased compensation or
assistance, or both, and on the other are
the protes Iations of the other constituents
of the members against any such increase
and consequent addition to the burden
OF taxation.
In order to obviate this biennial tangle.
wrangle and waste OF time, Senator Smith
has introduced a constitutional amend
ment, providing as follows:
The compensation OF such officers and of
their deputies, clerks ana assistants, shall be
regulated In such manner as the Legislature
may, by uniform laws. provide.
Should this be adopted by the Legisla-
ture and approved by the voters, it is
intended to introduce bill in the next
Legislature providing that the question of
salaries for county officers shall be left to
the Supervisors of the respective counties.
1t Is argued that such salaries come out of
the county treasury and that cooseouentIy
they should be regulated by the lie ,islatIve
bodies of the coun mites. The proposed con-
stitutional amendment is generally
favored.

pardoned.
The House then proceeded to the con-

taken up.
The consideration of this bill consumed
the greater part of the afternoon, a num-
Der of amendments being adopted, among
which was one by Stratton, compelling
assessors to file a verified account, with
vouchers attached, of all disbursements
incurred In the making of maps for as

ExBookkeeper McCalvy appeared before
the Senate Finance Committee this after
noon and asked that his connection with
the coyote claims bill be investigated.

But th, Office Hill Censs.

SACRAMENTO. CAL. Feb 5.-A rather
humorous incident occurred at the meet
ing OF the Senate Finance Committee in
connection with the bill providing for the
salary of the Commissioners of Public
Works. The bill, which originally pro-
vided for a a salary OF $4,000 per annum,
was amended by the Assembly so as to
reduce the amount to $4,000. 1t next
turned up before the Senate Com mittee
on Labor and Capital. which indorsed the
proposed reduction, but recommended
that it be not made to apply to the incum-
bent. The members OF the committee
had evidently lost sight of the fact that
the office of Commissioner of Public
Works will cease to exist at the expiration
of the term of E.. E. Leake, the incum-
bent.

from the Spanish minister to the effect that
he has information that an important fill

The department has specific information of
the shipment of arms and ammunition for
what promises to be one of the most impor-
tant filibustering expeditions for several
months. A carload of arms left Jackson
vile Friday morning by the Florida East
Coast Railroad and passed near Smyrna
south bound. A second carload OF rifles and
dynamite left Jacksonville Saturday morn
ing on the regular freight train for the
probable purpose of being transferred to
some vessel on the east coast probably
the yacht Valusia, which has been engaged
to transfer these munitions from the rail-
ways to the vessel destined for Cuba. 1t IS
probable that the vessel which will receive
these arms will not come close to shore.
