"a temporary Injunction restraining the
magistrates elected last November

were no vacancies in the offices when
the men were elected; also on the
ground that the cnarter was unconsti-

appointment of magistrates. Later tho
supreme court vacated this injunction,
but upheld the contention that the law
under which the defendants We're elec-

about a fierce magisterial war, as the
present incumbents claim the last de-
cision practically gives title to the Of

San Francisco, Jar. Alt is not yet
known how many persons perished in
the wreck of the steamer Walla Walla.
The most conservative statement places
the number of dead at ten and includes
thirty-nine in the list of missing. Those
believed to be dead:
Mrs. Herman kotzschmar wife Of
Lieut.. Kotzschmar.
Mrs. M. r. Reynolds, stewardess.
Mrs. II. Herrickson and three children.

picked UP at Eureka by the steam
schooner Dispatch, three survivors
t.rifted ashore near Trinidad and seven
teen others were rescued by the tug

objects to Clause in Treaty With
United States.

London, Jan. 4.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard attributes the
delay in signing the Spanish American
treaty to the fact that Spain is not dis
posed to allow Americans to acquire and
hold real property in Spain and her COLO
nies unless Spaniards are accorded the
same right in the United States. The
United States has made fresh diplomatic
representations on the subject Spain
will consult the council of state before
finally replying. Meanwhile the govern
ments seem to have agreed on the mat
ter OF extradition and consular regula-
tions, and also regarding reciprocal most
favored nation treatment OF commerce
and navigation and the treatment OF
their respective subjects in each others
territory.
