that can be used to reduce this de- ficiency, but even then $27 coo must be raised, and this is more than can be legally done under the charter Never before were the school affairs In such bad condition.
 The new High School, for which s75,- 900 bonds were issued, Is still uncom- pleted. About S12,000 will be needed to finish and furnish it, and there are but a few hundred dollars in the fund. It Is proposed to obtain the necessary coin by issuing bonds.
 In spite of tl.is scarcity of funds the City Board of Education has created the position of Supervisor of Kinder gartens for Miss Belle Mackenzie at S15 Q month. The Trustees have been so ashamed of their extravaganza that they have not yet had this last action placed on the minutes of the board. There is no more need for a Supervisor of Kindergartens than there is for a corps of nurses in connection with these schools.
 Another place in which expenses should be curtailed Is City Clerk Cooks office. Two clerks could be dispensed with easily and the city would be saved $240V a year. then the collection of city taxes was transferred to the Coun- ty Tax Collectors office the people were promised a saving of a couple of clerks in the City Cl'rk's office. Up to that time the work on the assessment roll ne- cesstated the employment of couple of clerks, as there was considerable extra work, but since then no decrease has been made in the force. Instead John Varcoe has been given a soft Job. He is supposed to be revising the or dinances but in reality is nothing but a clerk of Cooks. For this he receives $100 month. Varcoe was given the position because of the work he did for the gang" during the campaign. Another clerk could be dispensed with in the office This would save the peo- pie $2400 a year and be giving the city a business administration.
 The people are realizing that under the new charter of the city they are still under gang" rule The issue of bonds about to be called for Is fair sample of the way Req and his "gang" propose to run the city. There is strong opposition to another bond issue and it may be defeated

DEFICITS IN CITY FUNDS
FRIENDS OF THE BOSS" PAID
 FOR DOING NOTHING.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, July 13.-The taxpayers of the city will be called upon to vote for an issue of bonds shortly. It Is said the amount asked for will be s40,- 900. It Is necessary to raise money to pay off the indebtedness of the city caused by the extravaganza of the last City Council-Fay, Noting, Dittus and Krieg. Before the city election the people were promised that if the so- called Peoples party elected it's ticket the city would have a business ad- ministration." With this glittering promise held out, many voted the gang" ticket, but now they find that they were bunkoed. Things are going right along in the same old rut. With the exception of Mayor Martin, none of the city officials have tried to curtail expenses. The Council has aid ed in incurring expense. Never be- fore were the city funds so low, but the officials are as lavish in their ex- penditures as in previous years.
 The present condition of the various funds will show the financial condition of the city. There will be no money available from taxes until December. The funds contain: Police fund, $92; park improvement fund, $1 10; street fund, S200; sewer fund, $92; fire depart ment fund, $25. The expenses of the Police Department amount to about s2500 month, and of the Fire Depart ment about $3300 a month, and here there can and should be no curtail- ment. The city pays out $1510 month for street lighting and nearly $700 a month for street sweeping. The mem- bers of the police and fire departments will have to shave their warrants with brokers from this time on or wait until December for their money.
 In the school department for the year ending June 30 there was a deficit of s6503 S9 The expenses contracted for the coming fiscal year will amount to SPA, 1000. This includes teachers salaries and other expenses. Receipts will amount to $82, 1000, leaving $42, GOO to be raised by city taxes. There will be a $15,000 apportionment from the State

How the Spells Will Be Di- Vided Between tbe
 Three Parties.

SACRAMENTO, July 1.-The Ma guire Populists say that they don't care the least little bit about the bolt They assert that they have the organization and that they will be able to hold the party title. They will, in all probabil- 1ty. read the middle the-road men out or the party to-day and go ahead under the unWise tutorship of the Democracy.
 The Democrats have given the Popu- lists eight places on the State ticket on condition that they give two of the nominations to the Silver Republicans. The Populists have agreed to this schene, and at o'clock this morning were fixing up their slate
 Congressman Barlow of the Sixth district has been renominated and Congressman Castle of the Seventh will De renominated. The other congress slonal places go to the Democrats McCraney of Los Angeles, a silver Re publican, will be given the nomination for clerk of the Supreme Court. and Judge Van Dyke, another silver Re publican, will be named for Justice of the Supreme Court Chairman Hutch lnson of the convention is slated for Lieutenant Governor, and in addition tt4e opuIISIS VIII nave one memDer or the Board of Equalization, one Rail- road Commissioner and the State Con- troller.
 The slate candidates for these places have not been chosen up to the present hour.
 An entire State ticket will be nomi- mated but those receiving nominations for offices not enumerated understand that they are only dummies. They will have to hand in their resignations to the chairman and secretary of the con- vention so that they can be pulled off the ticket when occasion requires.

VOLUNTEERS IN REVOLT.

CARSON, July 13.-Dissension Is rife in the ranks of the Nevada Battalion and two companies threaten to depart in the morning. The trouble arose over certain officers who were selected by the Gov ernor to receive commissions in a com pany formed to-day by the consolida tion of the Emmet Guards and Company E of Elko. Governor Sadler named w. C. Morrison of the Emmets as captain, J. E. Sanders of Company E first lieuten- ant, and George Pyne of the Emmets second lieutenant. The Emmets immedi- ately rebelled because Sullivan of their company did not receive a second lieuten- antship and the Elko boys objected be- cause Sanders of their company was not appointed captain. They finally effected an agreement by which they would ask the Governor to select either Sanders or Morrison as major of the bat talion and give Sullivan a commission in the company. It has been rumored for sev- eral days that a man named Alderman, recently from the East, leads in the fight for major and should he be appointed the two companies will refuse to be sworn into the United States service.

BELIEVED TO BE PREFERARr.E
 TO LITIGATION.
Special Dispatch to The Call

LOS ANGELES, July 13-The r,os Angeles water problem assumed a new phase to-day. The Democratic City central Committee met and adopted a set of resolutions indorsing the nrono- sition of Kessler & Co.,, who are onnlv- ing for fifty-year franchise under conditions which virtually amount to municipal ownership.
 The resolutions recite that the Ieea, committee of the Central Committee has reported that any attempt bv tho city 10 take possession of the present water system would involve the city in interminable litigation, without accom- plishing the desired result and would cause the present unbearable condition to remain during the years that such litigation would be in progress; that any attempted arbitration is sure to result In the same way if 1t does not end as desired by the water company. m an award of 900 more than the present plant is worth that there is now offered to the city by Kessler & Co. proposition. which, while it is not all that the Los Angeles city Dem ocracy has sought, is still a good proposition, is very near to municipal ownership. and promises relief from the present unbearable conditions. as well as a large financial consideration to the city In closing the resolutions indorse Kessler & Co.'S application for a franchise.
 It Is now believed that there is a probability of settling the water mat ter within ten days.
 Kessler & Go. propose for a fifty years franchise to give the city all water for municipal purposes free, clear the city title to all water rights now in contest and to give 1t 2h per cent of the gross income of the first five years and 5 per cent thereafter until tha aX1nirat tiora of tho xaI;.o
