THE FIGHT OVER CURRY'S PAYROLL His Deputies Win the First Round in the Legal
 Scrimmage. Time Given to the City and County to Amend the Original
 Headings

Judges Hebbard, Belcher and Cook sat in bank yesterday to hear the injunction proceedings brought in the name of the city and county restraining Auditor Brod- erick from signing the demands of cer- tain copyists and extra register clerks employed in County Clerk Curry's office in alleged violation of law.
 A demurrer was interposed to the com plaint on the ground that the pleadings were improperly drawn, and 1t was fur ther asked that the temporary injunction issued at the time of the filing of the suit be dissolved.
 Ex-Judge Slack. T. D. Riordan and A. L. Hart appeared in support of the de- murrer, and the interests of the city and county were looked after by City and County Attorney Creswell and Deputy City and County Attorney Brobeck.
 The argument of the law points involved occupied over two hours, and at its con clusion the Judges decided to sustain the demurrer.
 The plaintiff through Deputy Brobeck, thereupon asked for time In which to amend the complaint. He was according ly granted until next Tuesday morning in which to file the amended pleadings, and in the meantime the temporary injunction originally issued will remain in force and effect

 Board.

The run for Riley races" have com- menced. Lost Girl at odds of to won a mile and a sixteenth race at Oakland yesterday ridden by young Gray, and the running of some of the horses behind her would furnish an interesting set of kinetoscope views. Thorpe's honesty can be vouched for, but he rode a supremely ridiculous race aboard the favorite, Earl Cochran, ana some morning will awaken to find him. self no longer the idol of the far west ern turf. H. Martin on Paul Fry, con- sidered the dangerous horse got into all. sorts of mix-ups during the jour- ney, getting along in time to be beaten a neck by the Sobrante mare in 1:4SA. If the race was a "shoo in" it was cleverly managed arrangement.
 The racing throughout the afternoon was replete with upsets, Merry Boy and Sweet Faverdale being the only favorites to take purses.
 The talent made Towanda mild fa- vorite for the opening seven-furlong run, but though she had the advantage of "Skeets" Martins riding, she found the distance too far. The race resulted in Charles Le Bel Octuruck, Elsmore and Duke of York finishing heads on the wire In the order named. Le Bel. the winner, ridden by Thorpe, went to the post at odds of to l.

The pair were in front from the start, but the former had a higher turn of speed and won out in the last jump. Sweet Cakes. the favorite, away none too well, fin- iShed a close third. The winner was 3 to l around post time.
 It took vigorous riding on the part of Thorpe to get Sweet Faverdale home winner of the fifth event, over one mile and a sixteenth. The mare was equal choice in the ring with Song and Dance and after the latter and Amelia Fonso . had set the pace to the bend for the wire, Thorpe began riding the brown mare and, extended to the last ounce, downed Plan less than length.

elected one of their own number to that office Numerous attempts have since been made to get the seceders back in line, but they remain firm in their position. Without at least two of their number the Republicans are powerless to elect, any one, and with the aid of the Democratic vote the faithful eleven" as they have been nicknamed may at any time elect man of their own choosing or cause deadlock until the end Of the session. With this possibility in view the Dem ocrats are using every posslo4e means to foment the discord.
 Such a situation naturally gives rise to all manner of conjectures and specu- lation, and there are many who believe that it may yet be possible for senator German to succeed himself, If he can carry the next legislative election in November, 1899. This possibility Is, however, admitted by the Democratic leaders to be a very remote one.
 Mayor Malster of Baltimore, while not an avowed candidate, it is certain that he would not be averSe to wear ing the toga, and there is much talk here tonight concerning the posslbil- ity of another coalition between the Democrats and the "Malsterites' and Faithful eleven" for the purpose or electing the leader of the anti-Organ1- zation wing of the Republican party That such a thing is possible there IS no doubt, and it is freely asserted that Senator German and his lieutenants will try their best to bring about such a result whenever it is demonstrated that a deadlock is no longer practica- ble.
 Tomorrow at noon balloting will be resumed, this time in joint session, and will be continued until a result is reached. It is generally conceded that there is no reason to expect an cleo tion this week, as Judge McComas. the leading candidate, is believed to have boiled very nearly his full strength.

Eleven Republicans, Backed by the Democrats, May Prevent a
 Decisive Ballot.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 1S.-The first ballot in the Maryland Legislature for a successor to Arthur F. German in the United States Senate was taken to- day, each branch balloting separately with the following result: McComas 34 Shaw Il, Shyrock 3, Findlay 2, Parran 6, Mulliken l, Barber 6, Urner 1, Cor man 43. Lowndes l, Page 1; total 1O9 Absent-Republicans ?, Democrats 8: necessary to choice 55
 The candidates are Judge Louis E. McComas of Washington County, Ma jor Alexander Shaw, General Thomas J. Shyrock, ex-Congressman John V. IL. Findlay all of Baltimore City; Thomas Parran, Colonel J. c. Mulliken, Isaac A. Barber and Milton G. Urner. But one ballot was taken, and this leaves the situation as much involved in uncertainty as it was before the voting began.
 The preliminary skirmishing has been attended with great bitterness and diSSenSiOn in the ranks of the Re publcanS, who have a considerab bIe majority in both houses These dis senSlons have rendered 1t impossible to bring about Republican caucus, and there seems to be little probability that this method of settling the dispute will be resorted to in the near future.
 The first break in the Republican ranks came two weeks ago. when eleven members of the House of Dele gates from Baltimore City refused to caucus on the speakership, and by ef fecting a coalition with the Democrats

The Late James l.. Clark Of Santa Rosa Was a
 Bigamist.
Deserted Wife and Son in On- tariO to Flee With Another
 Woman,
Steps Being Taken to Transfer His Property to the Rightful
 Heirs.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 1S.-Thirty years ago, when Santa Rosa was hardly dis cernible on the map, James L. Clark and his wife arrived here and settled in this city. They came from Anna pee, Ontario. As MT. Clark was sue cessful in business and led an exem- piary life, 1t was not long before the couple enjoyed the confidence and re- spect of the entire community. About two years ago Mrs. Clark died. Last Tall MT. Clark also passed away. and Tn settling up his estate it was discov- cred that the woman with whom he had lived all these years was not his legal wife.
 From Attorney W. s. Williams of Berkeley, who visited this city this afternoon, the facts in the case were learned as follows: Thirty years ago Clark was we'll known resident of Annapee. He was engaged in business in that city and had an estimable wife ana one son. He suddenly disappeared abandoning his family, and with him ne took woman who had been for some months residing at that place She became the second Mrs. Clark. No trace of the missing man was ever found, although a determined search was made Tor him for years.
 When Clark died he left considera- ble estate, which he left to his nieces, Earla Terrell, Harriett Gill and Edna Terrell of Ferndale, Humboldt County Tn some manner Clark's executors heard of the true state of affairs and an investigation was begun, with the result that Attorney Williams visited this city this afternoon and began the preliminary work of securing an order to set aside the property for the bene- lit of Clark's first wife and his son, who Is now about 35 years of age.
 The affair has caused a great deal of comment here. where MT. Clark and the woman who was supposed to be his wife were well known. About ten years ago Attorney Williams, who was formerly Mayor of Annapee and knew Clark we'll while he lived there, hap pened to meet him on the streets of this city. Recognizing him at once he questioned Clark as to his actions since leaving home, whereupon Clark broke down and cried like child.

tigrew, that the Hawaiian Govern ment would voluntarily seek the pro- lection of some other power and thus forego the great advantage those is lands now enjoy in their reciprocity ar arrangements with the United States which results in our remitting to them annually not less than $6,000, ,000?"
 To this question Senator Morgan re- piled that the reciprocity treaty had been negotiated for the purpose of giv- ing this country cheap sugar. He said it had been of greater benefit to the United States than it had been to Ha- waii, because 1t had accomplished it's purpose of making cheaper one of the great commodities and one of the ne- cessities of every household. We want, he said, not only the sugar from Ha- waii, but cheaper coffee as well, and that and many other necessary articles could be grown on those islands.
 The Senators displayed a number of large maps, from which he contended that the islands were in the roadway of commerce between our western coast and the Orient, and said that all ships, whether laden with the articles of commerce or munitions of war must necessarily pass them in going from and to this country and the Asiatic coast, and thus. he said, the nation which controls Hawaii will control the commerce of the East. In closing, he said that failure to annex the islands meant inevitable bloodshed. and the re- sponsibility for that bloodshed would rest upon the Senate of the United States for its failure to perform its duty at this critical hour in the history of the two countries.

COttOn-Mill Strik CTS Are Preparing for a
 Siege.
Non Union Men Who Are Out May Not Receive Suffi-
 cient Support.
All the Operatives in New England Watching the Outcome of
 the Struggle.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, Jan. 18.-Grim determina- tion on the part of both sides, coupled with defined issue between employer and employe, as well as practically an absence of any sign of demonstration, were the features of the second day in the great strike in the cotton industry. As yesterday. interest centered almost entirely in the strike at New Bedford. where the disturbances led to the belief that similar demonstration might be attempted to-day. Nothing of the kind occurred and the strikers strength ened their cause by making the ques- ton of fines definite issue with the millowners. It is just possible that an agreement in this question may lead to some satisfactory ending of the whole matter in that city.
 The matter of financial support to the strikers was generally discussed, not only in New Bedford, but in Biddeford Saco and Lewiston, and while the unfon strikers seem to have no anxiety re- garding the next three months, non union men who are out fear they may not receive sufficient support.
 In Fall River the superintendent of the King Mill, where there is a strike went so far as agreeing to remedy union grievances, but other than this there appears no break in the line of manufacturers during the day.
 The 100000 operatives in all six of the New England States are watching the contest in New Bedford, Saco and Biddeford very closely.
 BIDDEFORD, Me, Jan. 1S.-The strike situation here is unchanged from yesterday. The Pepperell, Laconia and York mills remain shut down, and there Is every indication of a long struggle. A committee of York operatives will call on Agent Page to-day and endeav- or to secure an adjustment of their grievances on account of the reduction.
 LEWISTON, Me, Jan. 1S.-Every- thing was quiet at the Lewiston cotton mills to-day. At the Androscoggin, the only mill where trouble exists, a crowd was gathered about the gates, but no violence was offered those who passed through into the mill. Small sections of the mill are running.
 FITCHBURG, Mass, Jan. 1S-The weavers of the Hockage Cotton Mill, who struck yesterday against a reduc- tion in wages, thereby compelling the factory to close, returned to work to- day. The weavers. who were the only operatives who opposed the cut. have decided to accept the reduction.
