question OF the power of a sack may come
up later; so far, Grant is the only exponent
OF that sort OF politics. Putting against
Grants money, Governor-elect Cages in
fluence for Bulla, and the frightful miX-up
with all of the northern candidates, it is
reasonable conclusion that Mr.. Bulla today
has as good if not better chance than any
of the others.
Grant passed through the city yesterday,
stopping only half an hour, proceeding on
the afternoon train to San Diego.
Much interest is still expressed around the
court house regarding the deputies to be
appointed by the various county officers
elected in November. Yesterday it was an
nounced that Public Administrator Kellogg
had appointed Leon +. Moss as his attorney,
and that they would occupy the offices in
the Bullard block, soon to be made vacant
by Walter +. Haas, who has just been elect
ed city attorney.
1t is not thought. however, that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Moss signifies much, as
it is said that Mr.. Kellogg has agreed to
divide the business of his office between
three or four other attorneys. This appoint
ment is alleged to have been made in con.
sderation of political services rendered dur
ing the recent campaign.
District Attorney Rives is also said to
have appointed five of his deputies. The
successful aspirants include three Of the
present members of the distric. attorney S
staff, Messrs. G. c. McComas, +. II. Willis
and j. +. Chambers. In addition to these,
General Johnstone Jones and c. d. Wilbur
are said to have received assurances of ap
pointment.
H. S. Clement is to be ur.ler sheriff in
the administration of Sheriff 1iammell, it is
said, an agreement to that effect having
been made in convention when Sheriff
Burr's supporters swung from him to the
successful man, and by their example car
ried enough delegates to make the nomina-
ton. The greatest mystery, however, sur.
rounds the other appointments to be made,
though it is generally conceded that A. n.
Marsh is booked for rearpontment, prob
ably for special service in and about the
district attorneys office. w. l.. Shellon.is
also believed to be on the safe side Of the
fence, but the Others who have not arranged
for employment elsewhere are still awaiting
some sign of recognition from the sheriff
elect.

Organ Exhibition

A beautiful pipe organ, manufactured by
the Murray Harris Organ company, was on
exhibition yesterday at the factory on South
Main street. The instrument was made for
the Presbyterian church of Redlands and
equals the fine work previously turned out
by the company. In tone qualities, fine
workmanship and late improvements the
instruments of home manufacture in this
city excel those of eastern manufacturers.
The exhibition was attended by a large

Hit in the Neck

Chester Franklin, boy, pleaded guilty
yesterday in Police Judge Owens court to

Wednesday Franklin and number of
Others were observing some engines in the

Special Officer Yates ordered them TO move
away. Franklin did not go as soon as the

his going away by showing him, to which
Franklin retorted with the observation that
Yntes could go to warmer place than the

Yates hit him in the back of the neck and

U. S. SUPREME COURT
California Cases Pend:ng-Enormous
Pressure of Work


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-(Special Cor
respondence to The Herald) The supreme
court Of the United States is getting through
work at a remarkable rate, but the efforts
of the litigants are keeping the docket quite
full nevertheless. When the fall session
began on October 10, there were 3l4 cases
pending, of which 2S had been argued at the
last term. Since October 10 nearly 300 more
have been filed. In the same interval the
court has disposed of 81.
Since the law was passed creating the
circuit court of appeal the business of the
supreme court has been much reduced High
water mark was reached in 1889, when there
were over 1900 cases pending. The fees
often ran to $4,000 a year, all of which
| went to the clerk, who, however, had to
pay all the office expenses from them. This
left him some $4,000 year clear. Under
he new law the total fees fell to s25,OOO
Among some Of the eases now pending in
Inc supreme court from California are: San

thereis no limit of time imposed.

Louis Vetter Named for the Honor

There is a movement on foot to make
Councilman-elect Louis Vetter, from the
Third ward, president of the council, in
place of Herman Silver of the Fourth, who
has held that position during the last two
years. When Mr.. Vetter was first spoken
of as candidate, before he was nominated,
his friends had this move in mind, and since
his election it has been made a matter Of
ardent desire on their part. Mr.. Vetter
will not say much about the matter, except
that he would, of course, consider it great
honor to be given the place, but that if it

Councilman Charles Toll was quoted yes

that there was nothing serious in the case
and that the Republican councilmen should
get along like happy family, which seems
to indicate that he is seriously opposed to
Mr.. Netters ambition.
President Silver is represented as being
Indifferent as to the outcome OF the affair,
holding that, on the whole, he felt that he
could be of more use to his constituents on
the floor than in the chair.

BRAVE MILITARY SHOW
THE NATIONAL GUARD OUT IN
REVIEW.
Inspected by Members of the Legisla-
ture-Large Attendance of Citizen
Workmanship Trophy.

In spite of the bad weather the
Regimental parade and review of the
National Guard of Hawaii at MaIil<i
Park last night was a spirited and in
teresting display of the military for
ces of the Republic The organization
turned out almost to a man. Nearly
every member of the Legislature. for
whose special benefit the review has
ordered, was present to see it and was
with the inspecting party on the field.
The pageant attracted u very gen
eral attendance of citizens. and the
grand stand was crowded, while par
ties in carriages and on horseback fill
ed the carriage field. Much enthusi-
assn was manifested by the spectators
during the evolutiohs, many of the
movements, particularly those in reg
mental front, evoking vigorous APP
plause. The Government Band came
i'm for its share of the hand clapplng
and shouts of approval. and if 1t had
been simply a spectacle and not a re-
view, Captain Berger would have been
justified in responding to the evide-r II
desire for an encore of some of the
maneuvers of his organization. The
rain did not in the least effect the dash
and spirit of the music he rendered
even if it did hatten the pitch and
tone of the drums little.
The Legislature has before it for
consideration the appropriation for
the military for the present biennial
period. Some other legislation relat-
ing to the military organization is al.
so desired. And the parade and re-
view last night was designed to give
the members Il comprehensive idea OF
the effective force and pressing needs
of the National Guard. An appropria.
ton of $4,000 is asked for the sup
port of the military pay roll for the
two years. Money to purchase much
needed new uniforms, Announcements
and other necessaries will also be ask
