He explained that the object of the

Endorse Warren.


The new members of the city council
held a caucus on Thursday afternoon at
the residence of Councilman COPY,
when a slate was made, only to be shat
tered a few hours later. Only one por-
ton of the frame-up was carried out
after the council had met and organized
by electing Councilman King mayor.
This was the election of A. McGettigan
as city clerk to succeed j. j. Ryan. At
the caucus in the afternoon j. f. War
rem received four votes for chief of po-
lice. and Geo. ID. Schofeld was the eau
Gus nominee for city attorney.
When the news spread that Warren
was to be chief of police, it is said that
most of the saloon men began to ''get
busy" They met hurriedly and pro-
tested against Warren's appointment,
and it is further stated that their Wig
orous protest was the direct means of
calling the deal off, temporarily at
least. Another report has it that GER
tain councilman went back on his
pledge to support certain candidate
for city clerk, and this is pointed out
by few to be the cause of the dead
lock over chief of police, if such it may
be called.
When the new council met Thursday
evening Councilman Brannen immedi-
ately took the leading role, and briefly
and without any ceremony the office
of city clerk was declared vacant, and
A. McGettigan was nominated for the
place and elected by unanimous vote.
Then there was a momentary lull and
Councilman COPY relieved the pres
sure by moving an adjournment until
next Monday night.

next Monday night.
And so the question remains "Who
shall be chief of police 2" Chief Wal
lingford still holds down the position
and it was reported yesterday by some
of the wise ones that it would be the
| logical thing, in view of the mix-up
| that has arisen to reappoint Walling
| ford to the Office. On the other hand,
| it is stated, that Councilman Brannen,
who is already looked upon in some
quarters as an astute politician, has a
| scheme on, in which it is designed that
no appointment of chief Of police shall
be made. but another patrolman will be
appointed and Councilman Brannen, as
chairman Of the police committee,
would be the de facto chief of police.
The chief objection to Joe Warren's
appointment is alleged to be because
his brother Sol is interested in the sa-
loon business with H. c. Wilkinson,
and it is figured that the drag for
that particular place would be heavy If
Joe Warren were to receive the APP
pointment. A scarcely tenable hypo-
thesis.
On the other hand it is claimed that
Councilman Brannen is a sort of ''foxy
grandpa" and if it be that he has a
plan up his sleeve to be the de facto
chief of police, his place of business
would become the headquarters for
municipal politics and politicians. In
either case it would seem to be one of
saloons.
A well known business man suggests
hereafter, that the city elect chief OF
police and empower him to appoint
seven city fathers.
Referring to the late city council. it
is now stated that their acts will be in
vesti2ated by the grand jury that will
meet on Monday next. There seems to
be good ground for the statement, for
at least one of the prospective men,
bers has already been digging up evil
dence of alleged ''malfeasance and mis-.
feance" in Office on the part of some
of the members of the former council,
whose names may be only guessed at.
There may be some sensational devel-
opments concerning the ways of the
third council, before the grand jury
closes its labOrs.
Councilman COPY has announced
emphatically that the fire department
must be kept out of politics. SIT seems
to me-" said the councilman, that a
good fire department is even more
necessary than police department.
And most people will agree that he is
right.
The erstwhile Booster, now the
knocker of it's dead comrades in arms,
says: "The cleaning out of the city
treasury has been thorough. There is
nothing left to be done" Just, so much
to regret of the Booster, which because
it did not participate in promised $500
raid on the same treasury, forthwith
began to attack it's friends. The true
inwardness of the IDEAL" by which the
'kitchen cabinet" in DR.. Hills store,
very near the back door, Matched the
plan commended so heartily by their
then Booster, whereby the councilmen
were to continue in office until Novem-
Der next, is an interesting one, and the |
inside facts' are no longer confined to
the members of the late kitchen cabi-
net. 1t will probably be told to the
grand jury by one who was there.

CHINA GIVES sFoRMAL=NoTlcE
DENoUNClNG THE EXISTING
EXCLUSION TREATY.
CONVENTION ENDS ON DEC. n NEXT
STATE DEPARTMENT HAS MADE
STRONG EFFORTS 70 KEEP
-- -- AGREEMENTz TzALlVE.-z--z

Washington, March 24.-The state
department has received formal notice
from the Chinese government de.
nouncing the Chinese exclusion treaty,
so this convention will expire Dec. 27
next unless replaced by another treaty
by that date. Under its terms six
months before the expiration Of a Pc
riod of ten years from Dec. q, 1894.
if either power be dissatisfied with the
treaty, 1t is required to denounce It..
This is the action which China has
taken in spite of the strongest efforts
to the contrary on the part OF the state
department Had the notice not been
served the treaty would have contin-
ued in force for another term of ten
years from Dec. q, 1904. The depart
ment pointed ont to the Pelling au-
thorities, through Mr.. Conger, that 1t
was very probable that SO far from
bettering the conditions relating to
the admission of Chinese into the
United States the new treaty would
probably have the opposite effect.
Should the new treaty fail of approval
In the senate the Chinese would thus
be exposed, in the absence Of the shell
tering treaty, to the full rigor of the
Geary and Heinz law and the exclu-
sion would be much more complete
than at present. However, the treaty
having been denounced, there is moth
ing for the state department to do
now but to proceed with the formula
tion of a new treaty, which already has
been initiated in a way, although with
little hope of senatorial approval
