erly Souvenir issued to-day contains a
large number Of new pictures, including
the presentation of medals to .he Cali
fornia volunteers and illustrations of the
arrival of all troops in San Francisco UP
to the present time. 1t is a notable fact
that the Wasp is the only weekly paper
that has published a special edition IL
Illustrative of the scenes attendant upon
the return of the volunteers. 1t must be
conceded that the Souvenir is the hand
soonest and most artistically finished pub
lication ever issued in California That
the public appreciates this fact is proven
by the orders that are coming in from all

possible to supply the unprecedented de-
mand. More than one-half of the latest
edition has already been spoken for, so
that all wishing TO secure a pictorial
history of what may be regarded as one
of the most memorable events in the an
nuls of California, and indeed of the
United States, would do well to send in

DIBBLE MAKES DENIAL.
He Also Makes Admissions When
His Memory Is Refreshed.

Judge Dibble was seen at his home
last night and at first denied any
knowledge of Smith or any traffic in
notary appointments.
It's an infamous lie. sir! An in
famous liel" was all the Assemblyman
could say when he caught his breath
Don't know Smith. Who is this
Smith, anyhow"
Finally he called to mind that he had
applied to the Governor to give an
appointment to Matthew Harris, a
G. A. r. veteran, but insisted that
there was no money consideration
Then he remembered that he had
spoken to Gage about renewing the
commission of Henry Droger
But there was no money about this"
said Dibble. "Droger was an old clerk
of mine and l favored him for old
times sake. Let me think. Oh, yes, l
think l do remember this man Jack
Williams. Young Bishop spoke to me
about him. but 1 do not recollect that
1 did anything for him. My whole
fight on the notary business was for

that he gave me no part of the $3.50 he
received from King. He asked me dur
ing the session of the Legislature to
assist him in getting King reappointed,
but, as 1 have already told you, Harris
was my man.
Il met Smith here in the city week
or ten days ago and asked him how he
was progressing with the King appoint
ment. He told me that everything was
coming along all right. That is all
know about it and If Smith was at
tempting to get any money from King

acknowledge allegiance to Dan Burns.
Birds of a Feather.
Assemblyman DiDble swears by the
man from Mexico. Smith made him
self offensive at Sacramento lobbying
for Burns, and never made pretext of
earning by legitimate labor one cent. of
the Sc per diem he was drawing from
the State Treasury as assistant clerk
of the Assembly. The clerkship with
out work was Smiths compensation for
buttonholing for Burns Dibble's pay

among other things, the, promise that
he could name two of the notaries public
who would be appointed by the Gov
Z ernor for San Francisco.
This little chunk Of patronage might
have been used by Dibble to reward his
followers or help pave his way back
into office at the next election. Dibble
did not put it to- any such use.
The natural propensity of the average
Burns tooter to gather in all the Doodle
in sight the genuine, good hard stuff
made the idea of giving the plums
away, to gain future political
prestige, simply ridiculous. To
Dibble's lights, according to the
statements of Smith, the jobs
were as so much merchandise; he con-
sidered them of certain commercial
value, and as such offered at least one
of them fer sale. The price fixed was
$500
Kings Petition Ignored by Gage.
A righteous howl made directly to the
Governor by James L. King, whom
Smith had selected as the victim,
spoiled the. trade, but the transaction
had reached the point where Smith act
ually received from King $3.50.
Kings petition for reappointment was
one of the most formidable documents
that was ever sent from San Francisco
to the Chief Executive of the State. The
managers of all the insurance compa-
MES, the representatives of every bank
ing institution in the city, besides many
others of the greatest prominence and
standing in commercial circles, in
dorsed the well-known notary's petit
ton. The document was looked upon as
a matter of form only, and as compli-
ment to the Governor. No one ques-
toned but that the appointment would
follow in few days The petition was
filed during the latter part of the ses-
sion Of the Legislature and it was
hung up for three months No ac-
acknowledgement Of it was received by
King, and the signatures of men repre-
senting the business interests of big
city were treated with contemptuous
silence This is the only blame that is
attached to the Governor in this latest
lee scandal involving State officials
The Weapons of Extortion.
1t appears almost incredible that
petition of the magnitude and impor-
tance of Kings should receive no at

transaction. At Kings request the
friend counted the currency. There
was just an even $500 in the roll.

visited Bromwell at his home in Mill
Valley This was about three weeks
ago. Bromwell was informed of what
arrangements had been made with
Smith and advised King not to pay
cent for his commission. but to seek
personal interview at once with the
Governor, who was then in Sacramento
arranging for the opening of the State
Fair. King followed the advice. The
Governor expressed astonishment at
the situation and promised that Kings
case would be attended to at once.
Since then he has received his COM
mission. He was given the appoint
ment held by ex- Registrar P. F. Walsh
who was named by Governor Budd to
succeed King, but who was removed by
Governor Gage to make room for the
latter.

but would be turned down for King,
if the latter would come up with as
large sum, is a matter of conjecture.
When interviewed yesterday after
noon, Mr.. King said:
"It is true thkt H T. Smith came to
me with the statement that he could
secure my reappointment through

semblyman $500. The excuse was that

have been expecting Smith to call for
the balance of the money, but he has
not put in an appearance.
"Since made the agreement with
Smith have had that money on my
person day and night expecting that
either one of them might meet me and
hand me the commission, and wanted
to be ready for them"
One of the reasons that Smith has
not called to collect the remaining nine
banknotes, which he claimed would
have to be paid to Dibble, is that he has
been sick in bed. Smith is an insurance
agent. The directory gives his address

ceived seems little short Of an outrage.
While it was perfectly reasonable,
and not at all beyond a legitimate
course, for the Governor to promise Il
legislator a certain amount of political
patronage, the manner in which he ig-
nored the King petition for nearly
three months made it possible for Dib-
BILE to attempt to barter State office
and convert the Governors favors
into weapons for extortion.

Sequently grew uneasy when he re-
ceived no reply to his petition to Gov

he spoke of the matter to his friend L.

politician. Bromwell told him that he
had no influence with the executive,
but that he had friend who was as

RACED FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

The barkentine s. N. Castle and
the bark s. G. Allen from San
Francisco to Honolulu had some
thing of a race.
The Planter sailed from the
Golden Gate on the same day as
the Allen and her commander,
Captain Mcneil, had wagered
Captain Hubbard of the Castle a
new suit of clothes that he would
bring his vessel into this port be
fore either the Castle or the Allen.
The 8. N. Castle left the Coast
in the afternoon of Tuesday, Aug.
g, while the s. @. Allen sailed
about 8 o'clock in the morning of
Thursday the 10th and she aver
aged almost 200 miles a day to
this port, making the run in 10
days, her log showing the great
est run for one day to be 3l5
miles. Both boats have beaten
the sanguine Planter, however,
and are satisfied.
Captain Geo. II. johnson com
mands the Allen and reports a
most favorable passage with de-
lightful weather all the way.
Captain l.. II. Hubbard of the
s. N. Castle has made his one
hundred-snd ninth trip to Homo
lulu, and enjoys the reputation of
having made more stops at this
port than any other captain in the
trade. These 100 trips have been
made in 80 years, 30 that the cap
tain has averaged over three trips
a year. The Castle made the last
run here from San Francisco in
l41 days, being beaten by the
Allen by a day and half.
