the clause in section (a) Except
that cities |, ?, 3, 4, county is

This original bill was Objectionable
to a majority of the senators who
passed the Chinn substitute bill,
the chief points of which were
that cities l, 2, 3, 4, 5, classes were
units in themselves and outlyiue
county precincts were made units
In themselves also that territory
already dry could be made wet,
When the Chinn substitute went

was substituted for the Chinn
substitute by vote of 20 to 81,
NJ Nj Redwire of Elliot comfy was
the leader of the ten perance forces

WHAT Is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS or THE WEEK
San francisco Looks Up.

San Francisco is gradually emerging
from its critical state. due TO losses by
earthquake and fire. Many thousands are
yet homeless, and about $4,000 are still
being fed by public bounty, but sanitary
conditions have improved, and there rs
little danger OF an epidemic. Plenty Of
good water is now al hand. Food for the
present is plentiful, but so great IS the
consumption that only about three weeks
supply IS in sight, with all that is prom
ised. The number OF killed in san Fran
cisco Is now placed at about 800, with 1000
injured. At San Jose and Santa Rosa the
deaths mum beRed about 60 each. Prepara-
tions for rebuilding are already under
way, but the work will be done according
to system, so as to insure beautiful city,
as free as possible from future danger OF
the kind There is q money stringency,
due 10 the safeguards banks have inter
posed 10 protect their depo its. The con-
tents OF most Of the vaults are intact. A
New York syndicate Will, il is stated, pro-
vide sI00,00J, 900 at liberal terms with
which TO rebuild the city. Gen. Greedy
has succeeded Gen. Funston in command
Of the army at San Francisco, under whose
protection the city still remains. The
many offers Of aid from foreign countries
have been declined, IS it is thought Amer
lea can take care Of the needy herself.
