ENACTING THE GOLD
STANDARD INTO LAW
It Is Believed That Democrats in Con-
gress viii Champion the Sill
yer Issue in Vain.

WASHINGTON, July n.-Another Con-
gressional contest over the silver issue
will be the result of the determination
Of the Republican caucus committee to
report in favor Of enacting the gold stand
ard into law. Among the few Democratic
politicians now at Washington it is de-
clared that the issue will be cheerfully
met Followers of Mr.. Bryan will be
particularly pleased TO have the issue
brought to the front again, and there is
every prospect Of a heated debate in both
houses of Congress.
Though Senator Chandler has declared
his unwillingness to support any measure
that makes the gold standard law and
takes 1t out of the power of the Demo-
cratic or Populist President to bring the
country TO a silver basis it is believed he
will have few followers among the
straight-out Republicans. Some Senators
may insist on a declaration in favor OF
the reconciliation of silver by interna-
tional agreement being Incorporated IN
any measure passed, and 1t is highly
probable that such declaration may De
put into the proposed bill, but it will have
no effect in law and will be nothing more
than an expression OF oplmon
The chances for an international agree
ment which were slim at the beginning
of the present administration, have grown
much less The enormous increase IN I tne
dences that the increase Is TO commune
have removed the strongest argument
that free silver men had that there was
not enough gold in the world 10 form the
basis of money systems.
Another severe blow to the advocates
of an international agreement is tne an

committee on Indian cur
rency has reported in favor OF the eStaD-
lishment of a gold standard In India

opinion until its official report is made,
other officers who witnessed the test
expressed the opinion that the coast
defense problem had at last been solv-
ed.
General Miles was present. There was
also a special board appointed by the
chief of engineers to determine wheth-
er the Lewis range finder is affected by
the blasts of nearby guns. A gun
was placed at a low angle and was
fired out to sea. The shell, emerging
from the rife at a velocity Of 2300 feet
a second, skinned along the surface
of the water, thrice ricochetting with
out exploding. AS the rifle was dis
charged some Of the officers almost in
voluntarily lodged, and as the shell
struck the water General Miles ex-
claimed:
why. it didn't exploded"
In ordinary warfare the shell would
be fitted with a decorating fuse, which
would have exploded it on contact with
any object but the risk of blowing up
any vessel that might happen to be in
the vicinity was considered too great,
and, instead of the decorating fuse,
plug was used. Heretofore with guns
firing explosives such as those on the
dynamite gun vessel Vesuvtus the
power has been pneumatic. This is the
principle of the SimS-Dudley powder
pneumatic guns, with which tests were
next made. Shells containing twenty
and ten pound charges of explosive gel
atine We're successfully discharged.

PUBLICATION OF TAX LISTS
SUPERVISORS MAY PATRoNIZE
EACH PAPER.
Judge Lorigan Decides They Have
the Authority to Place the
Printing With Whom
They Choose.
MAY PATRONIZE
EACH PAPER.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, July 1.-THE delinquent tax
list will be 'farmed out" among the vari-
Gus weekly papers of the county by the
Board of Supervisors. This was declared
to be legal charge against the county by
Judge Lorigan to-day and the proprietors
of some fifteen country weeklfes Will be
gamers of sums ranging from SIG to over
$50. The decision was given in suit
brought in the Superior Court by S. T.
Moore to compel County Auditor Morrison
TO pay a claim of SIG assigned to the
plaintiff by George A. Edes, proprietor Of
the Morgan Hill Sun.
For several years it has been the custom
of the Board of Supervisors to order the
publication of portions of the tax list of
various townships in papers located in the
townships, in addition to the publication
in the county official paper. Some of the
taxpayers have objected to this, and this
wear they called District Attorney Camp
bells attention to the matter This 9TH
ciaI notified the Supervisors that it could
not be made a legal charge against the
county. and warned the Auditor against
paving the claims. Moore then sued out L
writ of mandate compelling the Auditor to
paw the claims of the Morgan Hill Sun.
In his decision Judge Lorigan says:
Under the statute the Tax Collector is
charged with the duty of publishing such
entire list as the official and legal publica-
ton, but his duty to so select and pub
the Board of Supervisors from directing
such further publication as will in the
judgment of that body further the pur--
pose of giving notice to the taxpayers Of
their delinquency. A little reflection will
make it apparent that the printing of por-
tions of the delinquent list in papers pub
Iished in the various townships of the
county is in harmony with full discharge
of the duties of the Board of Supervisors,
and for the benefit of the county.
1.-The country has particular interest in
seeing that it's revenues are collected by
the taxpayers paying their portion of the
assessed taxes and as notice of delin-
quency most likely to be brought to the
attention Of the taxpayers is designed TO
accomplish that result, reasonable efforts
made in that direction by the Supervisors
are proper. 1t is obvious, that this object
is best accomplished by the publication in
those papers which are published in. the
immediate vicinity of the residence of the
taxpayers, and the location of the prop
erty upon which the taxes are delinquent.
| am of the opinion that the Board of Su-
pervisors had power to order the publica-
ton"
Great interest centered in the case. The
Board of Supervisors had placed the price
of publication of the tax list at Sc cents
per name.

DENNERY MIXES
MATTERS WITH

Dis graceful BraWl at

NO BLOOD WAS SPILLED
QUARREL OCCURRED OVER a
SALARY DEMAND.
NO BLOOD WAS SPILLED
The Enraged Secretary Gave the Elk

Slaps on the Wrist and
Friends Broke In.

In the picturesque but inelegant Ian
guage of Port Warden Kenneally, his
friend Leon Dennery, secretary to the
Board of Health, has stopped over" The
hot Dennery blood got the upper hand yes
terday, and the hero of dozen Tender
loin brawls sailed into ex-Food Inspector
A. T. Patton, struck him in the face with
a wad of paper and slapped him fierceiy
on both wrists. The affair might have
been worse. but friends intervened.
Patton went to law over his discharge
by the last Board of Health and got
verdict from the court ordering the board
TO reinstate him. The board, however,
appealed, but Patton, as matter OF best
policy, continued to report for duty in
the morning and leave his salary demand
at the end of the month.
He turned up yesterday morning and Of
fered his usual demand to Dennery. Den
merry declined to receive it. Then Patton
went to Garret McEnerney, who said he
would write a note to the secretary in eX-
planation. In the afternoon Patton again
went to Dennery and rendered his demand.
1t was again refused, and ne tossed IL on
Dennerys desk and turned to leave the
room.
The fire-eating secretary came to the
conclusion that it was time to make
known that the dignity of the push could
not be trified with, and grabbing the de-
mand he leaped al Patton and with the
folded paper slapped him heavy blow on
the left ear. Patton turned TO see what
was going on, ana saw Dennery afTdhS!IlS
his necktie for another swat. He antici-
pated it with stiff punch on the jaw.
Though Dennery's breath was coming in
short pants from his first exertion he was
by no means out, and succeeded in return
ing hard right and left on each of Pat
tons wrists. The battle was carried into
the hall. where a crowd of jeering onlook-
ers quickly gathered. No one interfered
until Dennery attempted to foul Patton
with short-arm jab on the ankle, when
friends stepped in and put stop to fur
ther damage.
The spectacle was hardly edifying from
any point of view. The angry secretary
made use of about all the billingsgate he
could muster after his late campaign with
Colonel Burns, and Patton was not Irail~
ing far behind him. Even after the two
men were separated they continued to
different directions. That the row did not
take on a more serious aspect is remark
able, as Dennery is known as a vicious
fighter under certain circumstances.
There were no arrests.

Ex-Tax Collector J. r. Johnson Of Men

terday by the Supreme Court. AS Tax
Collector of the northern county it is al
legged he collected three thousand dollars
which was not turned into the county
treasury Suit was brought by the coun-
ty to recover the amount from his bonds
men and a decision was rendered against
the official. He appealed and the Supreme
Court reversed the judgment because the
court excluded evidence of certain sums
of money that he paid into the treasury,
which were shown by the Treasurer's re-
ceipts. The reason given by the lower
that 1t would not do the defendant any
good, because the plaintiff could by
amending his complaint charge and credit
the plaintiff with all sums collected by
him and paid into the treasury and there
would still be the three thousand dollar
item unaccounted for.
The Supreme Court held that the rejec-
ton of evidence that was admittedly COM
petent could not be satisfied by any such
ground. It, therefore. granted the ap-
pellant a new trial.
