JAMES KANE,

''Finance Committee"
Ths report was not signed by George
VI. Fisher, the Republican member OF
the committee.
Chairman Kane moved that the report
be adopted, which would mean the fix
ing OF the rate as recc cmmended by the
committee.
Mr.. Oberly arose and objected to the
rate for school purposes being fixed at 40
cents, which he thought was too low.
He had the clerk read sections So and 81
OF the city charter, which relates to the
matter OF how money for school purposes
shall be raised, and held that it meant
that Conncil should make the rate hig i
enough to bring in the money appropli.
ated for school purposes. A tax rate OF
40 cents would bring in Sl6l ,4S5, which
less per cent. for errors and rebates
would leave deficit OF So 800.
He thought the rate should be 10 cents
az last year, which would still leAve
deficit OF Sl,l2l. The total amount ap
propriated for school purposes was SiS3,
793. 1t would require rate of nearly
46 cents to raise this amount. The rat,
for city purposes, he held, should be 81
cents, that it was misleading to place TIN
rate for school purposes at 40 cents.
Chairman X ine stated that they hat
considered the matter carefully betor
making their report.
Elk Chairman Oberly he'd that the Law
was clear on the point.
Chairman Kane held that by fixin
the rate the way they did the city woul
gain $i00 or $500. The deficit would b
made up by the takes for city purposes
Ex Chairman Oberly demanded a
eye and nav vote ON the report.
Chairman Kane said Ex-Chairma
Obery's action was intended as an a
tack on Lhe tax office.

Political Pot-Pie.

The Pie-maker fancies that the
death Of the late Alfred T. Am
brose will cause much individual
mourning in this city, as there
were quite a few persons here that
were depending on the efforts of
Mr.. Ambrose to pull them out of a
close place and put them on the
high road to success. Even
among those persons whom Mr..
Ambrose were wont to measure
arms in political combats many
words of praise and commenda-
ton were heard by the Pie maker,
of the man. HE and [ we're
always on different political sides,
factionally speaking, but, [ know
of no man, for whom [ had greater
regard than A. L. Ambrose" came
from Postmaster Stewart. 'Mr.
Ambrose and [ had never agreed
with each other in the many poll
tical harangues that we were wont
to meet at, but he was a man and
brother when the political meeting
adjourned" came from Fifth
ward politician. And as in these
two instances SO also could it be
heard where ever you went the
day after his death had been
chronicled.

It seems almost cruel to snatch
a young man so vigorous and
active as was Mr.. Ambrose away
from his works of usefulness SO
early in life, but it was He who
gave him that took him and no
mortal man should dare complain,
for He doeth all things for the
best. IL for the most part Ambrose
was on the loosing side still hewas
active and energetic and never
sulked in his tent when his party
made a nomination. Ambrose
never did things by halves,
whether it was Of a political or a
good time nature.

was on the loosing side still hewas
active and energetic and never
sulked in his tent when his party
made nomination. Ambrose
never did things by halves,
whether it was of political or
good time nature.
Returning to those who would
have just cause to mourn the
death Of Mr.. Ambrose, none will
do so more than his partner H. A.
Chadwick, with whom he has been
associated in the conduct of the
Argus, a weekly paper, as
we'll as other lucrative advertising
business. There is no DENYING
the fact that he was the financial
soul of every advertising venture
the firm went into. Whatever
money the paper got from a poll
tical stand point, it came through
the individual efforts of Ambrose.
Whatever money the concern
accumulated from advertising, it
came through the individual and
personal work of Ambrose. Being
a great secret society leader and
worker it was but natural that the
members of the organization of
which he was a member would
give him all the patronage that
they possibly could do and even
more in some instances. Mr..
Chadwick may find another to
partly fill his place, but it is not
generally believed by those who
have watched the work of the late
junior partner of the Argus, that
he will do SO at very early date.
There are others who will find
that they have lost a strong right
hand bower in the death of Am
brose and, among them, might be
named Sheriff Van De Vanter,
Billy Potts, Richie Kinnear and
others. Mr.. Ambrose was an I'M
compromising supporter for the
reelection of Sheriff Van De
Vanter and he was not leaving a
stone unturned to accomplish that
end. The Sheriff has most as
suredly lost one Of his ablest
lieutenants.
Billy Potts, who aspires to the
county clerkship, always found
Ambrose ready and willing to
make political deals for him and
smooth the troubled waters where
it was inclined to be stormy and
troublesome. He and Ambrose
have worked together in the Fifth
ward for the past eight years and
they always succeeded in getting
a delegation from their precinct
that suited their own liking. The
death of Ambrose leaves Potts in
bad shape politically, and, unless
he can find some man to fill his
place, he will see many Of his
IOndeSt hopes vanish into air
castles.
Richie Kinnear, who sat at his
bedside night in and night out,
and watched his life slowly but
surely ebb away, has also lost a
warm personal friend and admirer.
Ambrose was determined, at some
future time, to push Richie Kin
near to the front politically and
there is no doubt but that Dick
depended largely on him to do the
work. His death, therefore, was
sad blow to Kinnear's political
ambitions to say nothing of his
personal feelings. There are
others who are equally disappoint-
ed at the seemingly untimely
death of the young man, all Of
whom, as said above, mourn his
demise almost without comfort.

DREYFUS CASE
ONCE MORE
1t is Revived by the Henry
Libel Proceedings in
France.

PARIS, Dec. 3.-The hearing of the
libel suit brought by Col. Henry's wild
ow against M. Joseph Reinach, who, in
articles published in the Steele accused
Henry of being the real traitor in the
Dreyfus case and said Esterhazy was
his accomplice, opened today in the AS
size Court. The audience was small.
The arrival of Former Minister of War
Cavagnais and Generals Mercier and
Roget, who were among the witnesses,
about 500. did not lead to
any Incident worthy of note.
1t is said NJ. Reinach has summoned
Dreyfus as p witness. The trial has
been frequently postponed for various
reasons. At the outset of the hearing
today the public prosecutor submitted
that the Assize Court was not compe-
tent to try the case and asserted that
the Correctional Court was the proper
tribunal.

DECISION OF UNCLE SAM
Secretary Of State Hay Sends Copy
Of Letter to British Am
bassador.

Governor Dole yesterday received a
letter from Secretary of State Hay
enclosing copy of "a letter written by
the State Department to the British
Ambassador at Washington relating to
the claims of Cranston, the British sub
jeCt who was deported from Hawaii for
his participation in the rebellion in 95.
Secretary Hay takes the stand that
Cranston was engaged in a conspiracy
to overthrow the existing Government
of Hawaii and the Government was
fully justified in deporting him. He
characterizes Cranston's exiling as IAN
act of high-police.'
This settles once and for all a diplo-
matte matter which has caused the
Hawaiian Government much concern.
Cranston made complaint against the
steamship company which carried him
to Victoria. The steamship company
won and Cranston made a demand on
the United States through British Of
fetal sources. Governor Dole, in re-
sponse to a request from Washington,
sent all the correspondence and official
papers relating to Cranston to the au-
thorites.
Secretary Hays stand in the matter
disposes of all other cases. In brief it
means that none of the claimants
against the Hawaiian Government will
receive compensation for having par
ticipated in a revolution against the
ruling power.
In December of 1894, Cranston with
two other men named Muller and John
ton, were arrested and charged with
conspiracy against the Government.
They were placed under arrest and de-
ported from the Republic. At the same
time John E. Bush, Fred Weed and
number of others were arrested for un-
lawfully having munitions of war in
their possession.
