SUPERIOR JUDGES SALARIES
MAY YET BE INCREASED

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO. Feb 15.-Assemblyman Cami-
netti of Amador called up Senate bill Sc
in the Assembly this afternoon on mo-
ton to reconsider. of which he gave no
tice Yesterday. when the measure failed
of passage. The bill provides for an in
crease of $1,000 per annum to the salaries
of the Superior Judges of San francisco,
Tuolumne and Shasta counties.
There was considerable opposition to the
reconsideration and most of it was voiced
by Belshaw of Contra Costa, who, while
he would favor the increased stipend in
the cases of Tuolumne and Shasta coun-
ties. would oppose the San Francisco
clause.
Dibble roasted his fellow members for
what he termed their provincial proclivf-
ties and their inclination to kick at any
measure beneficial to San Francisco.
He explained that he wanted the Dill
reconsidered so that he could withdraw
the San Francisco amendment, if it could
not pass, and leave Shasta and Tuolumne
to 60 it alone and unhampered.
The vote was reconsidered and the Dill
was passed on the file till tomorrow.
Senate bill 571, a special urgency meas
ure to appropriate $4,000 for the contin-
gent expenses of the Senate, was brought
in from the upper house and passed un-
der a suspension of the rules.

forces are on the verge of dissolution
and cannot hold together for more than
three or four days. The real facts of
the situation are that the Grant men
are more determined than ever before
to stand by the San Diego candidate as
long as Burns is in the field. They
advance the idea now that they are in
position to render the State of Cali
fornia lasting service by defeating
Burns for the Senatorship. By pursu-
ing this course they count on receiving
the eternal gratitude of the people of
this State.
The railroad organs are now busily
engaged in obtaining expressions from
people throughout the State to the eff
feet that the deadlock ought to be
broken. Everybody is in favor of break
ing the deadlock. Why do not the
railroad journals, that are so free
to give advice to the members of the
Legislature, come out and tell the peo-
pie the name of the candidate who is
responsible for the deadlock? Burns is
the only aspirant for the Senatorship
who has not openly avCwed readiness
to retire from the field in order that an
acceptable candidate may be elected
Grant has distinctly expressed a will
ingness to stand aside provided Burns
would agree to get out of the way
General Barnes and Senator Bulla have
declared their readiness to yield for the
sake of harmony in the party. Burns
is the only obstinate man in the lot
The party is nothing to him. 1t can go
to hades for all he cares. He is here

vindicated by election to the office of

journ Immediately after the first and

BY common consent the supporters Of
all the candidates readily agreed to
await the outcome of the minority con-
ference.
Last week Colonel Burns designated
Thursday of this week as the day when
all the touts should be gathered on the
scene of action to witness the advance
of the Burns column. Since then the
event has been postponed until Friday.
Stephen NJ White, whose term Of six
years in the United States Senate ex-

the monotony of the day.
Lieutenant Potter of the signal
corps arrived from Iloilo yester-
day evening with dispatches from
Brigadier General M. D. Miller
to Major General Otis, com
manding the United States forces
in the Philippine Islands. On
Sunday afternoon General Miller
ordered a reconnaissance in

ground that his presence here might
be construed as an expression of a de-
sire for reelection.
Governor Gage and Judge Carpenter
went down to Benicia and there met
Senator White. They returned on the
eastbound overland, which arrived
here at 10 o'clock tonight. The SEN
ator continued his Eastern journey.
General Barnes left the. Senatorial
arena for a flying trip to Dixon this
afternoon. At that place this evening
he delivered a lecture in favor of terri
torial expansion, the first of the Dixon
High School course. The next lecture
of the course will be given by Professor
Jordan, who will talk against the ad-
ministrations policy Of expansion. The
general returned here tonight, arriv-
ing on the Oregon express.
Reports received late tonight from
the various Senatorial camps do not
foreshadow any changes in the ballot
ing tomorrow. The touts keep up a
show of confidence, but have again
postponed the date for Burns parade of
his reserve forces. Early this evening
Friday of this week was named as the
time for important developments. Late
tonight the prediction was uttered that
Colonel Burns commission as United
States Senator would be issued about
Wednesday of next week On empty
assurances of this fiimsy and shadowy
nature the touts are expected to get
outside and whisper to the members of
the Legislature that it is all settled.
Hints are thrown out that the Grant

the Hotchkiss and Gatling guns,
and drove the enemy through

MANILA, Feb. Is, l1:45
A. M.-Four companies
Of the California VOIun-
teers which had been
clearing the country in
the vicinity Of Pateros,
ten miles southeast of
Manila, and which had
been recalled, were fol-
lowed by the enemy to-
day as they retired.
On reaching San Pedro
Macate The Americans
made a stand near the
churchyard, and the
rebels were driven back.
The CaIifOrnians again
advanced and are now
occupying the same
ridge, commanding the
valley Of the river,
which they held yester-
day.
Every one was on the
qui ViVe last night. SeV-
eral shots were fired
from the fleet into the
Paranaque district, and
sedrChIights were
sweeping the coast
north and south Of the
city.
In a house close TO
Colonel FunstOn's head
quarters, in BinondO
Church, $50 Filipinos
were arrested at a meet
ing. They had no arms,
but had 200 uniforms.
In accordance with the policy
of General Otis not to extend his
lines about Manila any farther at
present, the line front already
being nearly twenty-five miles
long, portions of the California
and Washington regiments, the
Fourth Cavalry, and Lieutenant
Hawthorne's mountain battery,
which were about to make a con-
certed attack on the insurgents
below Pateros, had been ordered
to Withdraw last night to their
former positions along the river.
A thousand or twelve hundred
insurgents were reported to be
massing in the vicinity, some
coming from the north. The
rebels had hoisted white flags at
Pateros some days ago, and they
secretly assembled under the
shelter of.these white flags yester-
day and fred upon the American
outposts.
Colonel James F. Smith, with
Companies L, D and M of the
California Volunteers, proceeded
to clean out the enemy along his
front.
The rebels opposed him from
the brush and several skirmishes
occurred, during which six Cali
fornians were wounded before
the rebels were driven out. The

OTHER CANDIDATES FOR
THE PLACE DISTANCED
The Latest Candidate Has Been
in the Department Many Years
And Has Worked Up

Lieut.. James T. Johnson is said to be
the next chief of the Worcester police
department, according to good author
ity, and yesterday a rumor which
seemed to come from a reliable source,
had it that he was the man.
The petition which was circulated for
the retention Of Col. James NJ. Dren-
nan among Worcester's business men,
yesterday, got many names, which his
friends say will carry considerable
weight with Mayor Rufus B. Dodge,
Jr., when he looks it over.
Chief Drennans friends are working
hard fer him, and are beginning to
wager money that he will have his
position next year. On the other
hand, the statement which gained
much ground yesterday had it that
Lieut.. johnson was the man, and last
night half the patrolmen seemed to
think that he would be the chief
Some time ago, when the talk of a
change in the office started, it was said
that Lieut.. Johnson could have the po-
sition if he wanted it, but at that time,
and even since then, it is known that
he has not put in any work to get
it,
Mayor Dodge is still as mum as the
oyster on the matter and smiles wher
questioned about it. He will announc,
the appointment at the banquet which
the Outgoing city government will have
Saturday evening, and not till then, HI
says.
Lieut.. Johnson has been member o
the department for more than tel
years, starting in as a patrolman anC
gradually ascending the ladder, He wa
appointed a sergeant while yet a young
officer, and when the department wal
reorganjzed under Mayor A. B. r

feel that he can handle the position
should he get it, and, while he doe
not say anything on the subject him

brought to the notice of the United
States government sharp and prompt
action will be taken, not only to pre-
vent the violation of the neutrality
laws, but also to save the raiders
themselves from such consequences OF
their actions as befell the Fenian raid
ers of 1866.
The talk of a Fenian raid is we'll cal
culated to cause alarm on the Cana
dian side of the border, as the people
of that section were greatly agitated
during the former Fenian excitement
Although an actual movement occur
red at that time, the chief of trouble
occurred over alarming reports of in
vasion which never took place.
Something of a panic took possession
of the Canadians on the border, and
many buried their household silver and
valuables on the smallest islands, fear
ing that the Fenians were about to loot
the towns.
On the American side the excitement
was intensified by local Fenian organ
izations that drilled in apparent antic-
ipation of movement, although these
proved to be purely local bodies, more
or less sympathetic with the movement
but wholly without systematic connec-
ton with the head of the organiza-
ton

Preparations had been made at the
Moody household for an early service
to precede the removal Of Mr.. Moodys
body to the church, where 1t was to lay
in state for several hours before the
public funeral.

relatives, Rev DIR. Schoffeld read Sc
lections from the scriptures, and Rev
Mr.. Torrey offered prayer
Rev. DR.. Schofield and Rev. Mr.. Tor
rey led the procession, which started fol-

G. Needham of Philadelphia. The pro-
cession passed slowly along the road
and on arriving at the Congregational
church the body was taken to a place
prepared for it in front of the pulpit.
Mrs. Moody's expressed desire haC
been that the services should be as
simple as the methods of life of the
evangelist always had been.
At about 2.15 the family and relative!

FUNERAL WAS SIMPLE
No Display at the Burial of the
Great EvanueIisE

New York, Dec. 26.-Memorial serv-
ices for Dwight L. Moody, the evangel-
list, were held this afternoo1 in Cal
vary Baptist church, on West 57th
street, simultaneously with the flu
neral services at Mortified The au-
ditorium of the church, which seats
about 5000 persons, was filled. The
services were of an undenominational
character and ministers of all denomi-
nations were present.
The services opened with the render
ing of Chopin's funeral march. The
Rev. e. r. Morse, assistant pastor of
the church, conducted the ceremonies.
In his remarks Mr.. Morse said that
Mr.. Moody did not read the New Tesla
ment in the original Greek or the Old
Testament in Hebrew, but he was an
assiduous student of the English Bible.
He said it was hardly exaggeration to
say that Mr. Moody was more familiar
with the English scriptures than any
one else in this country
The Rev. DR.. r. S. Macarthur, in his
address, recalled peculiar coincidence
dating back to last summer, when he
had written M. Moody asking him to
preach in a tent at night at the Cal
vary church Mr. Moody replied that
he was not feeling we'll, but concluded:
81 shall be with you, though, and we
shall have a great service in Calvary
church"
Dr. Macarthur said: Moody has now
taken his place among the immortals.
Mr.. Moody's evangelism marks an era
in the history of evangelization in Eng
land and America. Without the
LEARNING OF THE SCHOOLS,
he was still an educated man in his
sphere. Mr.. Moody was a willing stu
dent in the school of Christ, which,
after all, is the noblest of all schools.
Mr.. Moody gave dignity to the work
OF the laity He was ordained of
comforter of saints. We had in
Moody a Christ churchman irrespective
of narrow ecclesiastical lines. The lai-
ty should take Mr.. Moody's work as
lesson and grid themselves for the work
of saving men,"
Dr. MacArthur's address was follow
ed by the singing of one of Moody's
favorite gospel hymns, Some day the
silver chord will break and then DR..
Yarnell of the west side branch of the
Y. M. c. A., read a telegram which
was to be sent to Mortified.

work, referring to the visit of the pres

Washington, Dec. 26.-The alleged
attempts in different parts of the coun-
try to organize Fenians for a raid into
Canada have not as yet been drawn
to the attention of the state depart
Iaent Nothing is known upon the
subject beyond the matters set out in
the newspaper publications. The Off
Gals do not give the smallest credence
to the stories, and are of the opinion
that the purpose in setting them afoit
is to brighten the Canadians into keep
ing their soldiers at home and failing
to answer the appeal of England for
volunteers for the African campaign.
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambas-
ssldor, is too well experienced in Amer
lean methods to make this matter the
basis of official presentation at this
stage, and it is said at the state de-
pa1 tment that he has not even found it
Necessary to demonstrate against the
alleged violation of neutrality involved
in the recruiting of soldiers for the Boer
army within the limits of the United
States.
1t is suggested that the explanation
Tor this altitude is preference on the
Part of the Britishg,to deal. with such
persons as may enlist here fof the Boer
army after they leave the boundaries
of the United States. 1t is not doubt
ed that all such movements that really
promises to amount to anything. are be-
ing carefully watched with view to
CATCHING THE VOLUNTEERS
at some convenient point by a fleet
cruiser.

movement of the kind alleged to ex-
list, is actually discovered and
