STEWART INTERVIEWED.

San Francisco Examiner, Jan 3D.
United States Senator William u. Stew.
art Of Nevada, who was reelected at
Carson last Tuesday, arrived at the Pal
ace yesterday. Tomorrow he leaves for
Washington. Last night he was a guest
oil dinner ct the residence of William Z.
Herrin, chief counsel Of the Southern
Pacific Company.
Senator Stewart is 90 bitter against
Congressman Newlands Of Nevada for
trying to secure the Senatorsbip that he
refused to speak to NewlAnds at the
Palace yesterday afternoon.
"Not . dollar Of Southern Pacific
money was used in my 6ght," yelled
Stewart in the Palace court yesterday

elected me were pledged to vote for me
when they were nominated. They were

The scalp Law seems 10 be on cur stat
ute books for the benefit OF scalp I'M
porters and sheep men only. IL should
be repesled, and we would heartily n
dorse some method that would prevent
the importation Of scslps from Dsieabor-
ing States, and provide for the besring OF
the bounty burdens by sheep men. who
seem to be the principal persons bene-
fted by the law. The Elko Independent
says:
The bill to repeal the sct providing Tor
the destruction Of n~oxious animals, com
monty called the scalp law. viii doubt
less meet with . good deal OF opposition.
A great deal can be said for and against
this law. 1t has been tbe means OF pro-
tectins the iocks and herds Of the State
from the ravages of the coyote and moan
tain lion. but ID is questionable whether
the benefits derived from its ~encrosch-
mens has equaled the cost il has been TO
the taxpayers oil the STATE. In LAo
county alone there has been over 500
paid ont Of the treasury the last year for
scalps Of n~oxious animals, mostly coy
otes. At 80 cents apiece that would
mean that over ten thousand coyotes
were killed in this county alone lass year.
But notwithstanding this the coyote
family seems to be on the increase and .
heavier draft on the treasury will be
made this year. As 8 protection to she
iocks aud herds Of the State. the Law
may be . blessing. bot as q drag upon
the pockets Of the taxpayers ii is . pro-
nounced success.
If the Law 10 not repealed q legisla-
tore should devise some way 10 prevent
the importation Of scslps from Utah,
Idaho, California and Oregon. If this
we're done, the drains upon the county
treasures would be greatly lessened.

amendment giving the President discre-
~tionary power 70 enlist but 60 per cent
Of the 100, 900 men called for as . maxi
mum. Uudoubte dly the passage of this
measure, which is in no sense popular
with the people, was due TO the pressure
Of friends Of the volunteers TO get them
out Of service. Without . large regular
army the volunteers would be kept in
the field for two years. With ii they
can be promptly released. This has
