MENTO, Jan. pa communication
from the San Francisco Board of Super
visors was presented by Senator Hall
to the Senate this morning asking that
a statute be enacted to enable each
county in the State, if the Supervisors
so desire, by a special tax levy, to con-
tinue for three years, to raise money
to provide for an exhibition of its pro-
ducts to be a part of the exposition to
be held in San Francisco in 1901 to COM
memorate the thirtieth anniversary of
the admission of California into the
Union.
1t is designed to have an exhibit of
the products and industries of the
State, the United States and other
countries, more particularly the Ha-
waiian Islands and the Philippine
group. The petition sets forth the fact
that San Francisco will raise $3.50 900
by taxation for the exposition. The
communication went to print.

A Big Delegation Of Prominent Business Men From
This City to 90 to the Capital Tonight to
Assist in the Capture Of Votes

During the past week leading citizens
have been solicited to take prominent
part in movement here to promote
the Senatorial aspirations of Irving NJ
Scott. The men who are foremost in
the movement have been working
quietly but effectively, and have gained
the support of many leading men in
commercial and professional circles.
While the utmost care was taken to
keep the plans secret until the organi-
zation to support Mr.. Scott was thor
oughly effected. The Call has secured in
formation that large committee has
been appointed to proceed TO Sacra-
mento and open headquarters for Scott

Since the beginning of the contest in
the Legislature Senator Davis of ANA

Joaquin have been voting for Scott.
one of the finest flights of oratory
heard at the Capitol during this session
was that of Senator Davis in placing
the name of Irving NJ. Scott before the
joint Assembly. 1t appears now that

WHAT BECAME OF
JILSON'S MONEY?
A Slight Discrepancy That Makes
Things Unpleasant fer the
Man From SiSkiyOu.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan 23.-Jilson of Siskiyou is
finding that the way of the transgressor
is hard He filed a sworn statement of
his election expenses as the law directs
and in this statement set forth that he
expended during the campaign the sum
of $94 60. He swears that he paid the
Yreka Journal $13, the Daily Reporter
$40, the Etna Advance s., the Dunsmuir
News So and the Crescent City News
$5. He expended $19 for sundries. The
cording to the sworn statement filed
in the office of the Secretary of State,
in travelling expenses incurred by him
self in Journeys to Montague, Yreka
and the fort.
Dan T. Cole of San Francisco went
on the witness stand to-day and testi-
fed that he gave Jilson $400 and held
out $10O for himself. This testimony
caused some surprise as to the division
of the money. If the figures had been
reversed, giving $100 to the Assembly
man and $400 to Cole, the division would
not have excited special wonder.
What did Jilson do with the $400?
The expenses accounted for only
figure up $94 60 Here is the sum OF
$305 40 that ought to be returned to
Grant 1t is to be hoped, for the honor
of Siskiyou County, that Jilson will not
be as tardy in settling UP as was
Wright of Alameda.
Perhaps Jilson figured that the speech
seeonding the nomination of Grant
would be worth S305 40, but that speech
was never delivered in joint convention.

EARL POULETT PASSES
AWAY IN LONDON
An Organ Grinder Will Claim the
Succession to His Title
and Estates

LONDON, Jan. 23.-William Henry,
Earl Poulett, died in this city yesterday
in his seventy second year. 1t is prob
able that the succession to the title and
estates will be disputed.
The deceased Earl was thrice mar
ried. According to gossip he made a
wager. when a harum -scarum youth
and travelling about, that he would
marry the first woman he met on land
ing in England. Accordingly at Port
Sea, in 1S49. he married Miss Elizabeth
Virginia Newman, daughter of land
port pilot Within a few months she
gave birth to a son, whose paternity
her husband denied. The couple from
that time lived apart. the wife dying in
August, 1871. The child, who now calls
himself Viscount Hinton and claims the
succession. has long been living on the
streets of London as an organ grinder
and his pretensions were always sternly
repudiated by the deceased Earl.
About six weeks after the death of
his wife Lord Poulett married Miss
Emma Sophia Johnson, who died in
1876 without issue surviving. In 1879
he married Miss Rosa de Melville,
daughter of Alfred Hugh de Melville,
and their son is generally recognized as
the rightful heir.
The long standing quarrel between
the late Earl Poulett and the organ
grinding Viscount has furnished the
material for many London sensation
Only a month ago the claimant to the
succession issued an appeal to- the pub
lie to take a philanthropic interest in
the condition of the poor, among whom
he lived and earned his living.

SCISSOR of a record that includes arrest
on charges of embezzlement, conviction
of fraud and the betrayal of the most
sacred trust 1t was notable array,
to be sure. and 1t taxed the ingenuity
of the brainy Cosper to find suitable
expressions to indicate to all the gen
uineness of his servility.
It may be as we'll to state at this

is the same person who was, few days
ago. charged with soliciting, through an
agent, a $4,000 bribe from U. S. Grants
political manager on the pretense that
he had already been offered $4,000 to
vote for Burns. The charge still stands
as it was made, save for Cosper's de-
NAL of it's truth. The man who, 1t Is
said. acted as Cospor's agent in the
transaction has been subpenaed to ap-
pear as witness before the investi-
eating committee, but he has refused
to obey the order and no steps have
been taken to punish him for his dis
obedience. The man of whom the bribe

no steps have been taken to secure his

touts are claiming Cosper for their very
own and do not forget to count his
name when reckoning up the "colonels'

for Senator.
The testimony of the witnesses named
NAV be summed up in very few
words. Herrin, though favorable to
Colonel Burns, knew that the Southern
dollar to promote his Senatorial candi-
dacy. Mclaughlin knew Burns to be
an honorable gentleman and the proper
man for Senator, but was positive that
the State Central Committee was doing
nothing to assist him to the United
States Senate nor was the State pa
tronage being used as lever to hoist
reluctant legislators into line to vote
for him. Gunst had heard that Burns
contributed literally to the Republican
campaign fund and was certain he
would honor the American Congress by
his presence in it. Burns, with becom-
ing modesty, acknowledged his own
honesty and high purpose, not forget

mittee to-day resolved itself into a
committee for the protection of Dan
Burns.
The deliberations of the body were a
spectacle worth going some distance to
see for it is not every day that the or
binary citizen is afforded the oppor-
tunity of witnessing a legislator In the
very act of bowling at the feet of his
lords and masters. It is no more than
fair to the majority of the members of the
committee to say that they took no more
active part in the proceedings than was
necessary for them to insure for them
selves near at hand view Of the self
abasement with which Chairman Cos
per and Mr.. Mellick acknowledged the
presence of their masters.
The kowtows and the genufections
were induced by the presence on the
witness stand of such high personages
as William f. Herrin, who had the
pleasure some weeks ago of announcing,
on behalf of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, the Senatorial candidacy of Col

TERRIBLE SNOW STORM.

We are just beginning to work our
selves out of the drifts. The storm let up
early Tuesday, the stars came out,
and now the sun is shining brightly and
the populace is shovelling through the
high banks.
Its the worst on record. Nobody can
look out of his own window at home and
conceive how terrible the blizzard has
been. City streets could not be travelled.
Thesnow is from three to four feet deep
on the level. Where it has drifted it goes
up to six and eight feet. Fences are bur-
led beneath the banks. Men living a
half mile from the centre of the town
were more than an hour battling through
the banks. Up to ten o'clock there was
not horse seen upon the streets. Sleighs
could not be pulled.
Several stores out on the outskirts
which supply many people in the
suburbs are almost bare. oil, bread,
butter, eggs and milk cannot be had and
famine almost stared people in the face.
There has not been wagon or horse in
from the country. 1t may be couple of
days before any communication with the
country is open.
The weight of the snow carried away
the awning in front of Crosta's grocery
store. down last night adding trouble to
the grocer.
Large gangs of men were out this
morning after work They found it.
People gave up all sorts of money to be
dug out.
Walks down town were pretty we'll
cleaned off by noon.
Both the West Jersey and the Bridge
