siderable discussion. There is no gen.
eral disposition to defeat the bill, but
some Senators are of the opinion that
1t should be amended in several par

these changes before the vote is taken.
1t is believed the bill will pass after
day or two's talk upon it.
1t is probable that after the Alaskan
bill is disposed of some of the bills Of
less general Importance on the calen-
dar will be considered. One of these.
is the bill for the payment of the claim
of the book agents of the Southern

suited in the formation Of the New
Charter Club, in the adoption OF the
new charter for San Jose and In the
present movement to overthrow gang
rule in this fair city. He was mem
Der of the Board of Freeholders which
framed the new charter. He is a sue
cessful business man, and promises to
apply to the affairs of the public the
same energy, ability and honesty that
have characterized his private dealings.
]. F. COLOMBET, the aspirant for
the office of City Treasurer, formerly
held this office in this city for the
period of six years. He filled it to the
satisfaction Of the people at large, but
was retired to private life through the
Vaccinations of the gang" as he had
persistently refused to lend his aid to
it's schemes for plundering the city
treasury, or to even countenance any
such attempts. He is a wen-known
and prominent orchardist, owning
large property about five miles from
town. on the Almaden road. He re-
sides in this city, and is a large con-
tributor to the city treasury.
J. P. JARMAN, candidate for Coun-
Gilman at-large, was formerly Coun-
Gilman from the Fourth Ward. He
fulfilled the duties of his office to the
utable citizens, and was always OPP
posed to the gang" For this reason,
he is sure to be mark for the bosses
shafts Of abuse and vilification. He
never f1inched when the gang" or any
of it's jobs were to be exposed, and
proved himself an enemy to be
feared. He has been in business here
for about ten years or more, and has
always been identified with the most
progressive public movements. He is
a man of undoubted courage and high
principle.
W. E. CROSSMAN, the nominee for
Councilman for the First Ward, is
well-known real estate man, who is
recognized as one of the strongest OPP
ponents to gang methods He was a
candidate on the Citizens ticket for
Councilman some years ago, but was
defeated by the efforts of the gang"
He is enterprising and progressive in
his ideas, and is qualified to make
first-class city father.
ADAM RIEHL, the candidate for a
seat in the Council from the Second
Ward, is a retired merchant. He was
a member of the State Legislature,
and as such made an enviable record
for honesty and integrity. Some years

Loewenstein introduced Schwartz to

stones and pronounced them genuine.
A local capitalist, whose name Stern
refuses to divulge, advanced $4,000 on
the diamonds, and took the stones as
security. Schwartz at once left town.
A few days later the capitalist
thought that maybe all was not right

Stern then found that the jewels were

Judge Morrow of the United States
Circuit court, San Francisco, CAL, has
rendered a decision in the suit of the
government against the Coal Dealers
association of California, which de-
clares the organization to be illegal and
in conflict with the federal law of 1890,
known as the antitrust act. He finds
that the bylaws Of the trust are in
violation of the law preventing unlaw-
full combinations in restraint of trade.
and also finds that the trust interferes
with interstate and foreign COM
merce. Judge Morrow says: 1T ap-
pears to me that the constitution and
bylaws Of the Coal Dealers associa-
ton come within the prohibitions of
the antitrust act and are therefore un-
lawful In accordance with the deci-
sion the temporary Injunction will be
prepared by the United States District
attorney, and unless the case is carried
to the Supreme court the business of
buying and selling coal in this CITY will
not be interfered with by any COM
:bine. It is doubtful if the trust will
appeal, as Judge Morrow's rulings were
against it on every point, and there is
small hope OF victory to be gained by
prolonging the fight.

. Washington, March 80. The fact
that Admiral Walker cabled from New
York to the. state department announc-
ing his departure for home revives the
speculation as to the likelihood Of one
of the highest officers of the navy, ac-
tive or retired, being placed in charge
of the entire naval operations, includ-
ing the fleet under Capt. Simpson,
Commodore Schley's flying squadron
and any auxiliary lines of defense that
may be established. 1t was stated,
however. at the navy department. that
Admiral Walker home coming is be-
cause Of the conclusion of the work OF
the Nicaraguan canal commission, Of
which he is president, and that it was
not FASTENED because of the present

toned among the highest naval officers
as the one most likely to be chosen for

1t is announced that the currency
measure which has been introduced in
the Indian Legislative Council at CAL
cutta is intended to meet the extreme
pressure from which the Indian money
markets are now suffering. The plan
provides for an issue of currency notes
in India against the deposit of gold in
London to the credit of the Indian
treasury. In this way it is expected
to supply additional circulation in In
dia and at the same time obviate the
shipment of gold from England to that
country, which on several occasions
during the past year had been consid-
cred likely proceeding. 1t also facili-
tates the operations of the Indian fin
ance department in connection with it's
gold payments in London.
