Lieut.. Ralph Ingflls received word yes

ested in the movements of the Forty
fourth regiment now, for seventy men,
nearly an entire company, has enlisted
from here. Lieutenant ingalls, was to

day on his way to Kingman, where he
will open a recruiting station today.
Lieut.. Sayre is from Denver, Colo. He
belonged to Roosevelt's Rough Riders in
the Cuban campaign. After the close Of
the Spanish war he went to Paris,
France, to study art. He was busily en-
gagged in the ursuit of his studies when
he received a cablegram from Governor
Roosevelt that he had been appointed a
lieutenant In the FOrtieth United States
volunteer infantry, being recruited for
service in the Philippines. He started
for America at once and arrived in WITCH
tia yesterday. He proceeded at once to

will vote upon an amendment to the con-
stitution which proposes TO increase The
number of judges Of the supreme court
| from three to seven. The adoption OF
this amendment would do away with
the northern and southern department
courts Of appeal and place all business
embracing appeals from lower courts into
the supreme court The appellate courts
go out of existence, however, by statu-
tory limitation in 1901
It is claimed the adoption of the pro-
posed amendment would effect a saw 1g
Of SIS, 700 annually to the taxpayers IF The
state and would produce a more effective
mode of doing the legal business for the
| people of the state.
The most important saving in the ex-
penses Of the courts would be in the
employment Of help. Friends of the pro-
posed change claim that the present
force of a clerk and a deputy would be
able to do all the work of recording the
fees and looking after the cases which
come to the sprmere etaoinshrdlunpunu
come to the supreme court, which alone
would save annually $4,000
The expenses of the court of appeals,
annually. are as follows:

The total annual cost Of the proposed
new court Is, therefore. $S2, 800 The
total annual cost of the present courts
is $4,000. The new system will therefore
save the state the annual sum Of SIS, 700.
Seven judges in the supreme court
would dispose Of greater number of
cases than the present system removes
from the docket at each term of court.
Then the expense to litigants would DE
much cheaper. The court would be To-
Gated at central point, and the lawyers
who prosecute and try cases would not
be compelled to increase the expense to
their client by long trips across the state
to the various divisions of the courts of
appeals.
As measure Of economy the proposed
new plan will be presented to the people
next fall by the party speakers.

IN THE AIR.
Consolidation of Big Rail
road System a Possibility.

New York, Jan. IA Journal special
has the following: New Haven, Conn,
Jan. 2.-In railway circles, it il assert
ed that the managers for the Boston
and Albany and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroads have
come to an agreement which will ena-
BILE the latter to assume control of the
former road, if, indeed, actual consol-
idation does not take place. If the deal
goes through, it will consumnate the
biggest consolidation of New England
railway lines made this decade.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford directors are known to have
made overtures to the Boston ana AL
bany officials some time ago. Thus
far they haze received negative re-
Spouse.
The recent decline in Boston and AL
bany and the rise in New York, New
Haven and Hartford stock are under
stood to have convinced the Boston and
Albany directors that change in man
agement could be made with advant-
age. Legislators from western Massa-
chusetts are stubbornly opposed to the
consolidation.
Action by the Connecticut legislature
to amend the charter of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad, will
be necessary in case the lines unite
This will be easily secured.

LELAND STANFORD ESTATE.
It Now Amounts to Slo,ooo,ooo and
Nearly All Goes to the University.

San Francisco Jan. 2.-Now that the
courts have ordered the division of the
Leland Stanford estate, it is interest
ing to know just how great fortune
is concerned.
At the death Of Senator Stanford the
estate was estimated to be worth
SIT, 100000. Counting out the payment
of requests, the estate still exceeds
$40, 900 900. The income from Mrs
Stanford's interest and the portion left
to the university is about $1,000,000 a
year
1t was to tide over a season of finan-
cial disaster that Mrs. Stanford twice
had the court cut down her income un-
til it is now but about $1,000 per month,
and on one occasion she pledged her
jewels in order to raise funds. Except
this $1,000 per month, the entire income
of the estate is now devoted to the uni
versity.
The principal individual legatees OF
the late senator, in addition to Mrs
Stanford, were Thomas Stanford
brother of the deceased, who received
81 900, 900, and Charles Stanford, Jennie
Stanford Byington, Nora Stanford
Wells, Leland Stanford Lathrop, Maude
Stanford Kinmouth and Winfield Scott
Stanford, nieces and nephews, who re-
ceiVed 100000 each. The 81 900, 900 be-
queathed to Thomas Stanford will re-
vert to the university upon his death

IN COMMON COUNCIL.

The common council chamber was
crowded to the doors and the galleries
were filled to suffocation when Presi-
dent White called the board to order.
There was no business OF interest aside
from the election Of city officers in con-
currence with the board of aldermen.
In all of the offices where there was a
contest the party lines We're tightly
drawn.

came up in the common council. Mr..

this city for the past 30 years. had been

operative Bank, and. in the spirit of
minority representation, he presented

During the balloting several attempts
were made to postpone action until
the next meeting or effect an adjourn

call OF the chair, but it was left for
Councilman Merritt to find the open
sesame. This at last occurred to him
in the form of q motion to take a recess

a caucus in room 30, but without reach

MISS FOSTER IN TROUBLE.
One of the Claimants to Yost's Millions
is Under Arrest.

Boston, Jan. 2.-Mary Pearson .Fos-
Ter claiming to be one of the heirs to
the enormous estate of George WASH
ington Newton Yost. the noted invent
or, was arrested by the inspectors of
the bureau of criminal investigation
Friday evening. The charge was that
OF obtaining $1,000 under false pretenses
from Johl c. Fredericks. of u City

ago, represented that she had a quar-
terly income Of $500 from Ward and
Cameron, trustees Of the Yost estate at
Albany, N. r., and wanted loan, Up
on her representations and the Offering
of certain letters, the money was
loaned to her. This afternoon another

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Their Transmission to Havana Each Week
Considered Injurious to Santiago.

COHSiueIeu Injurious 10 odHudso'
Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 2s--An order
has been received from Havana which,
if enforced, will mean, in the judgment
of the commercial classes here, serious
injury to the province
This is a direction to transmit the en-
tire customs receipts each week to Ha-
vana. Compliance with such instruc-
lions would involve the abandonment of
many necessary public Improvements,
especially in the matter Of roads and
waterWorkS. Since the American oc-
cupation began, these funds have been
used for such purposes, and have been
the principal means of meeting the
necessary expenditures. The Heraldo
says that to carry out this order would
rob 10000 Cubans of employment, the
most of whom would probably take TO
the hills and become bandits, having
no other recourse.
Robert I. Mason, British consul at
Santiago, says it was Spain's practice
of monetary centralizing, which caused
most of her troubles in Cuba.
Gen. Wood, United States military
governor of the department, on being
asked to express an opinion respecting
the order, declined to be interviewed
but 1t is reported that without Offering
any criticism of the policy which die
tates the order, he has shown his an
noyance at the possibility of a step be-
ing taken backward in the good work
being done in the province. The local
taxation fund is barely sufficient to
meet the expenses Of the city. There
is nothing over for important improve
mentS, and the customs receipts are
considered by competent judges to be
absolutely necessary for the successful
management of the province. Popu-
ar excitement over the order is grow
ing among all classes. The chamber
OF commerce, the Sons of Veterans, the
supreme court and the San Carlos club
nave called meetings to take action,
ana each organization will cable to

FROM OTIS.
No News Has
Yet Come.
CAREFUL COURSE.
Gen. Miller is Not Pushing
Matters at IIoilo.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Nothing more
has been heard at the war department
from Gen. Otis at Manila.
The situation is irritating in the fact
that, according to the experience of the
last few days, 1t is not to be expected
that anything more can be heard from
Iloilo for a day or two, at least. except
in the very improbable event that the
American force has been repulsed in
their efforts to make a landing, and has
been obliged to return straight to Ma
Mia.
1t is surmised from the reports that
Gen. Miller is proceeding with more
tact and with less roughness in his
dealings with the insurgents than APP
peared from first impression of the
reports. His purpose apparently was
to avoid such formal recognition of
the insurgents as might tend to en-
barrass the United States government
hereafter but at the same time not to
deal harshly with them, if they can be
brought to see the rectitude of his de-
cisions. Therefore, the officials are
of opinion that there will be no actual
hostilities between the forces arrayed
against Gen. Otis and his own, but that
from the city without accepting or re-
jecting the American overtures until
they have heard from Aguinaldo.
Gen. Otis has taken steps to acquaint
Gen. Miller with the very latest in
structions of the president, and spe-
cial messenger is now on his way from
Manila to Iloilo. Although officials
profess the strong belief that no serious
trouble will occur, they have taken the
| TNr,Na ffn,, to
military reinforcements to Gen Otis
command in the Philippines. Orders
have been issued for the Twentieth reg
iment of infantry at Fort Leavenworth
to time its departure SO as to be in
San Francisco by the 9TH inst, in order
to embark on the military transport
being fitted out to sail for Manila on
that date, If possible. The two other
infantry regiments which are under or
ders to proceed to the Philippines, by
the Pacific route-the Third and Twen-
ty-second-will follow as soon as means
of water transportation can be Sc
cured. Three other regiments are also
under orders to proceed to Manila by
way of the Mediterranean and Suez ca
nal. These are the Fourth, Twelfth
and Fourteenth infantry. They will
make the trip on the new transports
Mobile and Mohawk, and, unless pres
ent plans miscarry, they will embark
at New York on the 18th inst.
Maj. Gen. Lawton, the hero of Ell Ca
| ney, who has been ordered to take COM
mand of the military forces in the Phil
| ippines under direction of Mai. Gen,
Otis, as military governor Of the arch
| ipelago, will accompany the expedition
| from New York after a conference here
respecting the administration of affairs
in the Philippines.

After the members of both branches

crease in the debt of SAL, 900, and ex-
pressed his belief that there could be
no reduction in the running expenses
of the city for the current year.
He recommended the adoption of a
curfew ordinance, and in this connec-
ton spoke Of the need of protecting

ticularly after dark, the inexperienced

They should be taught to remain at

night, without good reason there
for.
Many of those who cast their ballots
for the new mayor We're disappointed
that he saw fit to make no extended
reference to the present labor troubles.
He suggested no solution, and on this
point simply said:
The city is now sustaining one of the
seVerest blows in its history, in the
matter of the conflict between employ
ees and employers, and the wisest ac-
ton is necessary to preserve its honor
ana its prestige. We must so act that
be respected, and so do our part IA

HEAVY RAINS IN PARIS.
Main Sewer Bursts and Great Alarm
is Felt Throughout the City.

Paris, Jan. 2.--rhe heavy rains of the

Bievres, five miles south Of Versailles,
today causing a landslide and flooding
the new works of the Orleans Railway
terminus, The worlemen escaped, but
their carts disappeared under six feet
Of water, while the engine and founda-
lions collapsed. Much alarm is felt
throughout Paris this evening because
the disaster reveals the overflow of the
subterranean river Bievre, an affiuent
of the Seine. In the avenue de L'Opera
the water has risen to the level of the
pavement, and 1t IS feared that the
foundations of the exposition buildings
are endangered The gale has caused
much damage in Paris destroying pail
