Fighting for Change of Venue.

WOODLAND. June 16.-Attorney Cen
eral Ford has filed a second amended de-
mand for a change of venue to Sacra-
mento County of the case of Yolo County
VS. E. p. Colgan, State Controller, to re-
cover fees for collecting State taxes. The
motion for a change of venue was denied
a few days ago by Judge Gaddis upon the
ground that the pleadings were faulty.
In the affidavit of merit of Mr. Colgan
he stated that he had presented his de-
Tense to counsel and had been advised
that he had a good defense. In order to
comply with the law the affidavit should
have stated that Mr. Colgan had present
ed both sides of the case to his counsel
The second amended affidavit complies
with the law in that regard. Judge
Gaddis will rehear the motion on June Z.

VICTORY FOR RIDGWAY.
Warrant Against Reclamation Dis
trict Given Priority.

WOODLAND. June 16.-Judge Gaddis
has rendered an important decision in the
case of j. w. Browning vs.. T. O. Arens
Treasurer of Colusa County. which he
tried couple of months ago in the
Superior Court of Colusa County The
material question involved in the case has
never been decided upon by higher courts.
and Judge Gaddis has given it a great
deal of consideration.
The plaintiff petitioned the court for
a writ of mandate to compel the County
Treasurer to pay certain warrants is
sued by the Trustees of Reclamation Dis
trict No. Jos, between July %, 1895. and
February q. 1896. J. W. Ridgway inter-
vened IN the action and resisted the pay
ment of the warrants on the ground that
he was the holder of warrant for $1,000
dated January II, 1872, against said dis
trict which had been presented to the
County Treasurer and payment refused
for want of funds. Mr.. Ridgway regis
tered the warrant and Contended that he
was entitled to priority when there were
sufficient funds to pay it,
The court holds that all warrants must
be paid in the order in which they are
presented and registered when funds be-
come available. and that the intervenors
warrant has priority, and must be paid
when there is sufficient money in the fund
to pay the whole of his warrant The
petition for writ of mandate is denied

THE HAGUE, June 16.-The drafting
committee of the arbitration tribunal
scheme, which should have met day
adjourned its sittings to Monday next.
The ostensible reason for the adjourn
ment was the absence of Baron Estiur-
nelles de Constant of the French dele
cation. who drew up the minutes. 1t
is possible, however, that the delegates
had not received sufficient instructions
from their respective governments to
make further progress.
The delegates do not regret the oppOr-
tunity of a few more days time to de-
liberate. The difficulty now chiefly con-
sists in reconciling scheme Of the
other powers with the view of Ger
many, but the prospect is more hope
full.
Even if no agreement should be
reached an arbitration organization
will nevertheless be arranged and will
remain open to such of the powers as
are not able to sign now. In the mean
time every effort will be made to meet
the German views.
The naval section committee met to-
day and received the report of Count
Soltlk. A majority of the section will
favor the prohibition of explosives in
and the use of rams on Warships The
questions of limiting gun caliber, armor
plates and the form of powder remain
undecided, pending the receipt of in
structiGns from the various govern
mentS. The report will be submitted
first to the committee and then to the
conference.
LONDON, June 1.-THE correspond
ent of the Daily News at The Hague,
who asks whether the Kaiser has fOund
his road to Damascus. says: "A Cabi-
net messenger arrived here this morn
ing from Berlin with fresh instructions
to Count Munster They were of such
a nature that several delegates re-
marked that a new situation had been
created thereby and they must write
home for fresh instructions. One said ::
Arbitration is getting on swimmingly.
Possibly as the result of these instruc-
lions the German delegates have be
come more fidgety.
Twelve of the leading delegates took
luncheon with Mr.. White of the Ameri-
can delegation yesterday and discussed
the proposed central bureau of a per-
manent tribunal. Sir Julian Pauncefote
suggested that the control of the bu-
reau should be vested in the Dutch
Government, but the Americans raised
the curious objection that as Holland
is a monarchy such an arrangement
would hurt the feelings of the citizens
of free republic.
Sir Julian Pauncefote thereupon
suggested making The Hague the seat
of a permanent bureau composed of
the resident Ministers of foreign states.
Mr.. White suggested that the Dutch
Minister of Foreign Affairs should pre-
side over the bureau, and to this Sir
Julian assented.'

liant ball at Agricultural PaNll-

for the promotion of the good of their

Mrs. Genevieve Baker of San Fran
cisco were the candidates for this
honor and so many enthusiastic friends
did each have that Mrs. Gett is said

gendered but this was not true Mrs.
Baker made the best refutatiOn of this
charge when she arose at the con
clusion of the balloting. and, after
