CONFERENCE OF CLERGY.
Action Taken TO Raise a Conttn-
gent Fund For the Bishop.

The meeting of the clergy and laity
of the district of Sacramento, as the
new diocese is now called, which con-
vened at ST. Paurs yesterday was
most remarkable gathering of the
working force of churchmen and Wo-
men ever assembled in the diocese.
Thirteen parishes were represented.
as follows:
Petaluma, Rev. John Partridge; San
ta Rosa, Rev. Cope; Napa, Rev. Ben
ham; Benicia, Rev. Waterman; Marys-
vile, Rev. Stoy; Grass Valley, Rev.
Marsden; Sacramento, Rev. c. L. Mel;
Reno, Rev Unsworth; WadsWorth,
Rev. Bellam; Benicia, Rev. Clark; Sac
ramento, Rev. George; Eureka, Rev.
Leacock; Yreka, Rev. Sinclair. In ad-
dition to this there were several lay
delegates.
After the opening prayer, the Rev.
John Partridge, President of the stand
ing committee, introduced Bishop Mich
OILS, who made a. strong plea on behalf
OF his friend Rev. William III. More
land, rector of st. Luke's Church, San
Francisco, and urged the necessity of
providing contingent fund, to better
enable Mr. Moreland to meet those ap-
peals of a personal nature which fall
to the lot Of every Bishop, and without
which he (Moreland) felt that he would
be seriously hampered in his work.
The Bishop spoke Of the bright pros
poets of the district of Sacramento,
and strongly urged hearty cooperation
on the part of clergy and laity.
Shortly after Bishop Nichols was
obliged to withdraw in order to take
the train for San Francisco to preside
at a banquet given by the clergy and
laity of that city to those who had been
present at the last session of the gen.
eral convention held in Washington,
D. c.
The Rev. Mr.. Waterman opposed any
effort toward raising contingent fund
for Bishop -elect Moreland, but his OBJ
jections were fully answered, not only
by the clergy and laity, but by two
ladies, Mesdames A. T.. Smith and c..
n. Post, whose speeches produced an
excellent effect.
After more or less spirited debate.
pledges toward the fund were called
for, and $685. subscribed
It was decided to place the raising
of thes balance needed-$415-in the
hands of Mrs. A. L. Smith, the General
Secretaryfof the Women's Auxiliary in
the district, and it is safe to say that
this sum will shortly be subscribed.

There is going to be swell time in
Olivia tomorrow night. Gov. Dave
Clough and his staff, in blue uniforms,
brass buttons and gold fringe hanging
from various portions of their cloth
ing, together with whole lot of SOL
der boys, are to open the armory at
that place, the proceeds of this cele
brated "push" gathering to be devot-
ed to fitting up the armory according
to the fastidious tastes of the Olivia
soldiers. Sam Miller. the gallant and
suave captain of Company H, or the
Olivia company, is to be the big mo-
gul of the occasion-next to Gov.
Clough-and when Sam starts out to
take charge of anything, clam bake
or full dress party, county seat re-
movals barred, it is bound to be sue
cess. His soldier costume is recent
importation, his sword has been pol
ished for the occasion, and his boot S
have been polished SO that the Gov
ernor will be able to use them for a
looking glass. The refreshment dis
pensaries of Olivia have been granted
special privilege to keep open all
night and two hotels will cater to the
hungry crowd.s Oliyia has not yet
seen anything like this swell affair,
and we are certain that it will go down
into history as the SWEETEST social
event ever given in this section Of the
State.

NOT ROOM ENOUGH.

The GAZETTE has all along doubted
whetheri.th was enough room in

chairman of the board of supervisors
in and for the borough of Vail. Its
suspicious are confirmed by the Hon.

tice. Just what the SANDER is that the
Hon. Paul claims to have been
charged up to him by the two mem-
bers The GAZETTE does not know. But
it is more than probable, and the
probabilities are based on word over
the grapevine telegraph. that the
Hon. Paul has been talking too much
before the board and has been brag-
ging about his carrying capacities. To
a man of the Hon. Pauls kind such
imputation would certainly be SANDER

political principles he espouses he
should be given all the latitude he
wants, and if there is any longitude

The county board Of audit did a
very appropriate thing at its regular
meeting last week, when it, by vote
of two to three, decided to allow the
county funds to be deposited in the
banks of this county alone. There are
enough banks in the county to care fol-
all the funds, and the county banks
by virtue of paying taxes in the coun
ty, are entitled to all of the surplus
funds.L gone good move yet to be made
by the commissioners is to require al
of the banks to furnish bond with ar
indemnity company as surety. Wher
this is done there will be less chance
for the county to lose deposits.

of the board should not expect to
check the gentleman in this ambition
pertaining to language and eloquence.
AS to his carrying capacities, the two
members in question have undoubted-
ly been Kidding" the honorable
chairman of the borough of Vail. They
know, too we'll, that their worthy
chairman's capacity in this direction is
far beyond that of any other resident
of that borougb-in fact. of Redwood

in going before their worthy colleague
and humbIy impiore his pardon. Vive

The Times libel case drags YEARLY

evidence to show that The Times was

upon the Trust company. As an adj

the biggest cards that The Times will
ever be guilty of having. AS an at
tack upon corporation, failing to

The latest advices from Cuba and
Madrid indicate that Spain has prac-
tically decided to surrender the Island
to the patriots fighting for independ
ence, and that all that Spain will ask
for is monetary consideration, prob
ably $2OO,OOO,OOO. While the patriots
could undoubtedly win out in the end,
it is probably better that they accept
some such proposition as this, with
the United States backing it up, than
to cause any further bloodshed and
loss of property in that unhappy and
now almost desolate Island.

sition for over II years, and the peo-

four lectures on international law,

as the leading authorities on foreign
relations. Yet Senator Davis does not
appear to be friendly with Gov.

to "turn him down" on the University
board-a power which he has exer-
cised.
