the salaries of the twelve Superior Judges
of the city will be raised from $1,000 to
$1,000 per year. 1t was by a narrow
margin, however, that a clause was
added to the Curtin bill, which was under
discussion on second reading, making this
increase. The vote was 10 to IA.
Senator Curtin had a bill increasing the
salary of the Superior Judge of Tuolumne
County TO $500 per annum.
An amendment was proposed to increase
the salary of the San Francisco Judges TO
$1,000, and upon this amendment the fight
was made
The San Francisco Senatorial delegation
IS seldom united on any proposition, but
upon this it stood as a unit Democratic
and Republican Senators WED with each
other in securing votes for the amend
ment
Senator Davis of Amador County and
Senator Simpson of Los Angeles were the
only two interior Senators who talked in
favor Of the amendment.
Senators Wolfe. Braunhart, Bettman
and Stratton, who offered the amendment,
all spoke in favor Of it, on the plea that
$1,000 was not too large a salary for man
competent to serve on the Superior bench
of San Francisco, but, on the other hand,
it was only fair and equitable compensa-
ton for the service rendered by an honest
man acting in the high capacity he did.
Senator Bulla opposed the amendment
of Senator StTatton, and when the vote
was taken it carried, receiving Is ayes to
"A noes.

by an almost unanimous vote. adopted
the following joint resolution, which is
of particular interest to alrreaders who
have friends or relatives in the First
Regiment of California Volunteers:
Whereas, The First Regiment Of Cali
fornia Infantry of United States Volun-
teers. were the first troops to leave the
United States for a foreign port during
the war with Spain, having left San Fran
cisco on May %, 1898, and have been con-
tinuahy in service away from home longer
than any other volunteer regiment; and
whereas, many of the men who Volun-
teered are detained in the service in q
tropical climate, with danger to their
health, and at a great sacrifice to their
personal interests; and whereas the said
First Regiment Of California Volunteers
have conducted themselves during the
late war in manner highly creditable to
their patriotism and bravery; therefore

GRANT MEN WILL
WORK TOGETHER
Steering Committee Will
Hold the Legislators on
Vital Votes.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 81. - The twenty-one
legislators who are voting for U. S.
Grant in the Assembly on every Joint
ballot are not satisfied with the results
they effect when questions have come
up which do not and have not directly
involved the Senatorial problem. While
they have all stood as a solid phalanx
on the proposition of voting for Mr..
Grant on every joint ballot. still on
other questions not involving directly
the Senatorial question they have new
er at any time voted as a unit.
The object of the meeting tonight
was to bring about a better organiza-
ton SO that on an important matter
indirectly having some bearing upon
the Senatorial question, they will be
able to cast twenty-one votes for or
against it, as it may affect their inter.
eSts. ~~,} ,;ss'@.s rf,N
This is the kind of an; organization
that. was perfected, and an agreement
was further made that Assemblymar
Radcliff should act as the head of a
steering committee of five which was
elected and agreed upon at the meet
ing. The members Of the committee
are Radcliff of Santa Cruz, chairman;
Crowder of San Diego, secretary; Nc
ttura and Chynoweth of Orange.
The claim has, been made that some
members of the Assembly have been
told that if they desired to-. get any
legislation of their own through at this
session the wise thing to do would be
for them not to vote for Grant. But
the Grant men have stood firm. de-
spite any and all of these threats.
What they have done now places them
in a position where they win be able
to retaliate if any of the Burns leaders
attempt to enforce their threats to
defeat the legislation in which any of
the Grant supporters are interested.
Grant has tWenty-one votes in the As
sembly and Burns has only nineteen.
so it will be seen that the Grant men
are able to defeat just as many bills
with their Assembly votes as Colonel
Burns is with his.
y What brought the Grant people UP to
this action was the manner in which
they lost the contest over the Speaker
ship. Assemblyman BelShaw was elect
ed in caucus when the end of the roll
call was reached, and the result turned
over to Chairman Dibble to announce.
But he failed to announce the result
for several minutes, so the Grant men
claim, until change of one vote was
effected, which made the result a tie
vote and a second ballot defeated Bel
shaw.
The Grant men felt very sore. They
admitted in their caucus tonight that
Judge Dibble, for the Burns contingent,
had outgeneraled them, but they do
not propose to have it done again.
They propose to work under the direc-
ton of steering committee and vote
together at all times.
In the Senate there are only seven
Grant men, and thew are generally to-
gether on matters that involve the Sen
atorial contest in any way. Senators
Smith and Cutter generally outline the
course for them to pursue.

CHURCH TAX AMENDMENT
PASSES THE ASSEMBL Y

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 31.-Constitutional amend
ment No. 6, introduced by Mcdonald of
Alameda County, passed the Assembly
to-day after it had prec1pitated a good
bit of windjamming, and IL 1t shall go
through the Senate with as much noise
and little trouble and the people agree
the churches of California of whatever
sect will be no longer required to pay
taxes upon their immediate property.
McDonaldS amendment has pursued
windy course despite the fact that the
Assembly was generally favorably incln-
ed toward it. Mr.. Johnson led in the
spellbinding this morning when the
measure came up on the special order,
and he was followed by Mcdonald. Mr..
Dibble also spoke, and only FeliZ of Mon
terey talked against it. He said that to
exempt the churches from taxation would
be to again wed church and state. Mr..
FeIiz spoke at some length and eloquently.
Assemblyman O'Brien of San Francisco
settled the question consistently by ar
guing that the only course for the AS
sembly to take was to pass the amend
ment as the people of the State would
have to vote on it before it could
become a law. When it came to a roll
call there were only a few scattering
minority votes against it. The debate on
the proposition occupied the greater part
of the morning, and when the joint ballot
was over the patronage caucus was an
nounced and adjournment taken 10 the
usual hour tomorrow.
