the right to do so is brought at At
torney General STATIONS suggestion.
This law. granting the attorney gen.
eral 10 per cent. of all collections was
passed in 1888. before the state consti-
tuition was adopted. The state constl-
tuition was adopted in 1889. and pro-
vides that the attorney general shall
receive salary Of $4,000 per annum,
and that the legislature may increase
this to $4,000. This the legislature has
never done, and a nice legal question
on which attorneys do not agree is in
volved in the right of the attorney gen.

under advisement by Judge o. V. Linn,
before whom it was argued.

1t is believed that the state will not

Gist of the Decision.
The supreme court holds that If a
corporation which was doing a sue
cessful business had been able to pur-
chase Theis' stock this incOrpOra ton
would not have been thought of.
The court says: The result OF sue
cessful practice such as attempted
here will be that the minority stock
holders will always be at the mercy
of the. majority. If an enterprise fails
they bear their proportion of losses.
If. on the other hand. it succeeds. as
soon as it passes the experimental
stage and opportunity is presented to
finally reap the reward Of judicious in

words, they might be termed expert

American diplomatic and consular

replies to these inquiries would indi-
cate that no foundation whatever ex-

If any further ill-treatment or killing
of the Jews had been contemplated it
is believed that the agitation in the

Virginia Brissac. the ingenue of the

She has the signatures of Bernhard,

She was most enthusiastic in this
occupation about the time of the out
break of the Spanish war; and as she
was then attending school at her home
in San Francisco. she saw all of the
immense preparations for the cam
paign in the Philippines, which were
under way in the Golden Gate during
the spring and summer of 1893. and
became as intensely and actively pa
triotic as all of the other inhabitants
