The legislature.

We haven't room for a review
of the work of the legislature
which closed on Thursday. But
we can say this of their work:
They have passed several bills
that were very much needed,
and have shut down on some
that were of questionable valGe,
Few of the speeches made during
the session, will go laundering
down the ages, but most of them
have been apt, and to the point.
In both houses the parliamentary
methods have been admirable,
and there has been no lack of
legislative ability in the entire
work of the session. Difficult
indeed would it have been for
the electors of New Mexico to
have chosen from their respective
districts gentlemen better quail
fed to represent them in the law
making department of our ter
ritorial government.

Canada Almost Free.

By the LIST of July there will
be no English troops within
the Canadian borders, nor on
the North American continent.
Canada will garrison her fort
resses with her own troops, and
the maple leaf will be seen on
the Canadian uniforms from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Thus almost the last link in the
chain which binds Canada as a
dependency to Great Britain has
been severed, and the military
destiny of Canada will hence
forth be in her own hands.
THE military expenditure of
Canada will of necessity be large
ly increased next year, amount
ing in the aggregate to nearly 81
per head of population. To this
burden no class of Canadians will
object, because the expenditure
will be made within their own
territory for their own protection
and under their control. The
imperial government now hands
over to the Canada m ilitary
works, docks and Notifications
representing many millions of
dollars paid by the British tax
payer"
That the Canadians will cheer
fully endure that additional tax
for any great length of time, is
very improbable, and they soon
will be looking for some way to
get rid of it. And they will nat.
urally look in this direction, first
anxiously and then longingly and
just about the time that Peary
ma lis Old Glory to the north pole,
and the stars and stripes become
visible both north and south OF
that overtaxed country, Uncle
Sam will open his great heart and
Abe Lincoln arms to our northern
neighbor; and the predictions Of
our old Fourth of July orators
about extension from ocean to
ocean, from the arctic to the gull
of Mexico" will become the sure
word of prophesy.

Popular Sheriff Of Santa
Clara County Dies in
Garden City.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 21-Sheriff Robert
j.. Langford died early this morning.
1t is believed his death was caused
by a cancer of the stomach. Langford
was a native of Iowa and "a years of
age He came to California and to
this county in 1852 with his parents
For twenty-five years he was engaged
in the cattle and butcher business, and
for a number of years conducted a
market in this city.
In 1898 he was elected Sheriff on the
Republican ticket, and two years ago,
after being refused the nomination, he
ran independently for the office and
was elected by plurality of nearly
5000. For two terms he was president
of the State Association of Sheriffs.
Langford was o member of the Elks,
Odd Fellows, Eagles, Knights of Py-
thias. American Order of Foresters and
Maccabees.
A widow and two sons, an aged
mother, two sisters and four brothers

ing Sheriff on the death of the Sheriff.
took charge of the office this morning.
All the present deputies were reap
pointed. The Coroner will be in charge
until the Supervisors fill the office by
appointment. There is a strong senti-
ment in favor of the appointment of
Arthur Langford, a son of the de-
ceased, who has been Deputy Sheriff
for the last four years.

KELLY GETS

SECURITIES
Boss Is Frightened
by Runors of

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.-Martin
Kelly is preparing for arrest which he
believes will come Tomorrow. The old
time boss arrived here this evening
and was soon informed by his friends
that it was the intention of the District
Attorney to move against him at the
earliest possible moment. Martin inn
mediately became busy searching for
bondsmen to secure his release in event
warrant was served upon him. He
found two men that said they stood
ready to qualify, and then the man
that has thrust himself into the Doodle
scandal rested easy.
AT the Sheriff's office tonight it was
announced that Martin had been need
leSsly alarmed. No warrant, said
Sheriff Reese, had been sworn out, nor
had the Grand Jury met to consider
his case. 1t may do so tomorrow,
however, he concluded, but it was
hardly probable in view Of the holiday
which all officials want to enjoy
Il heard they wanted me-" said
Kelly, so l went down to- the court
house with my bondsmen. 1t proved

ParOIed Russian Officers Violate
Pledge to Admiral McCalla.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The Navy
Department to-day received a report
from Admiral McCaIla, commandant of
the Mare Island navy yard, stating
that the three Russian officers of the
Lena who left the ship at San Fran
cisco and are now in st. Petersburg
gave him, individually and personally
their paroles not TO go beyond the linn
Its of San Francisco, except upon the
express permission of the President of
the United States, or in accordance
with any arrangement that might be
reached touching their movements be-
tween the governments of Russia and
Japan.
The Russian officers were granted
weeks leave from their ship, which
lies at Mare Island, to visit San Fran
cisco, their applications being approved
by the captain of the Lena. The naval
officials here feel that it is only fair
to this officer to say that he is greatly
distressed at their disappearance. He
supplied Admiral McCalla with such
information as he had been able to OBJ
tain touching the whereabouts of the
three officers. Therefore, no orders
have been sent to Admiral McCalla to
suspend further paroles in the case of
the Lena's officers and crew and he will
be allowed to exercise his discretion.

CZAR'S LIFE TO BE SPARED.
Assassin Says Only the Advisers of
Nicholas Are Doomed.

MOSCOW, Feb. 21.-The assassin of
Grand Duke Sergius maintains an atti-
tude of profound Indifference. When
pressed to reply to questions he de-
clared that all the efforts of the
authorities would have no result. Be-
fore his victim was laid under earth
other victims would be found.
Regarding his motives, the assassin
says he acted only in the interests of
an oppressed people. He considered
the deed was an act of duty The
Grand Dukes had for years violated
every canon of ordinary decency and
ruined the country, while exploiting
the weak will of the Emperor for their
own ends. They had made him a
tyrant so that the people execrate him.
He was aware that the Emperor was
ar innocent dupe and his party had
decided to deliver the Emperor from
the evil influences surrounding him,
in the hope that he some day would
join in the movement and become
head of1a national government based
on Western lines.
Neither the police nor the spies, the
assassin added would be able to pro-
tect those who are doomed to death.

Pardee has vetoed Senator Wolfe's pet
measure which provided for twelve
hour work days for members of the
San Francisco Fire Department Wolfe
put his best efforts in this bill, and is
keenly disappointed over the fact that
all his good intentions have gone for
naught.
The Governors explanation that
he holds the bill to be unconstitutional
and one that is of municipal concern
alone, meets the legal but not the
moral views of Wolfe He said to-
night that Notwithstanding the ulti-
mate fate of the bill, he was satisfied
1t would have a good effect in calling
to the attention of the people of the
metropolis the fact that the men that
protect their homes against fire are
compelled to be on duty twenty-four
hours a day.
Three bills received the Governors
signature. The first was Senator Lux
ems Dill relative to the amount of real
estate that may be held by corpora
tions whose object is not pecuniary
profit. The second was Senator Nell
sons bill providing for the acquisition
by the State of the old mission at So

Senator Emmons, who was operated
on to-day for appendicitis, said he was
progressing as favorably as could be

His temperature was about normal, the
nurse said, and his pulse had fallen
from 120 to 106, which the physicians
considered favorable. Speaking about
the prospects of Emmons' recovery,
Senator Mckee, who is a surgeon and
who aided at the operation, said:
Senator Emons is very low. We
found that the appendix had burst and
that considerable puSs had escaped
into the abdominal cavity. I do not
look for favorable results, but he may
live for several days. Of course a re-
covery is possible, but L do not look
for it."
