Special PiEpatch to The Call.
LONDON, Feb. 26.— London Is in the.
throes of the hottest campaign in its
history, the contest for seats in the
London County Council completely
throwing into the shade even the keen- j
est-fought general parliamentary elec- j
tions. For three weeks past the fight
has been ragring alike in Belgravia and
Whitechappel. Nightly there are scores
of meetings attended by Cablfiet Min
isters and "front benchers" of both i
parties. Peers and peeresses, common
ers, clergy, publicans, officers, diplo- |
mats, judges, doctors and labor agita
tors are all involved. For the 118 seats
to be filled on March 3 there are 240 .
. dates, including a few independ
ents.
National issues have been included in
the fiKht in a manner hitherto unknown
in municipal politics, until it has be
:ome a square battle between the Un- .
ionists and Liberals, under the titles
moderates" and "progressives."
Both sides have been attempting .to
draw an analogy between the opposi
tion's aims and those of Tammany
Hall, parading Tammany as an awful
example of the corruption which may :
ipected in London when the other \
a gets into power. Barrels of j
y are being spent on both sides, i
tiangs of roughs have been hired to
break up meetings and hundreds of
disreputables are being brought into
<m from elsewhere to imperson
>ters who are at present at sea or
otherwise incapacitated from voting in
person.
James Bryce, member of Parliament
for the South Division of Aberdeen,
Liberal, author of "The American Com
monwealth," etc.. and the president of.
the Board of Trade in the Rosebery
Ministry, has been in the thick of the :
fight, telling everyone what he knows
about Tammany. Referring to the
charge of Sir John Lubbock, M. P., for
London University, Liberal-Unionist,
that the extravagance of the munici
pal government of New York under
Tammany is due to commercial enter
prise and financial speculations, he j
said:
"A more strictly practical body of :
men than the boss and his henchmen :
have not existed in the world whether
for salaries or jobs."
The campaign is not lacking in amus
ing incidents. John Burns, the labor
leader, in a recent speech, referred to
the peeresses who have been canvass
ing in th^ Battersea district as "scented
.lis."
i Hi Tuesday, after a hard day's can
vass, Lady Denbigh dropped into the
London County Council tea room to get
I of tea. Mr. Burns was in an ad
joining room and Lord Denbigh, slap
ping him on the shoulder, invited him
into the tea room, to the delight of all
the councilors, and said:
"Allow me to introduce you to one \
of the 'scented Delilahs.' "
Lady Denbigh shook hands heartily '
with the discomfited Mr. Burns and
thanked him for all the nice remarks i
he had been making about her.
By the way, Mr. Burns' "scented De- .
!iiahs".include the Duchessof St. Albans,
thf* Marchioness of Londonderry, the
Marchioness of Bristol, the Countess of
Denbigh, the Countess of Jersey, Count- i
ess Waltengrave, ' Countess Cadogan,
the fountess of Onslow, the Countess
of S.rlbourne and a hoet of high-born
society dames.
The lists of candidates for seats in
the London County Council is Interest
ing and ought to make the new Council
a second guild Chamber. The candi
dates include nine Peers, four sons of
Peers, ten Barons, three privy Council
ors, eight officers and members of the
House of Commons and clergymen in
profusion, twenty "gentlemen" and a
sprinkling of doctors and lawyers.
The War Office scheme for the re
form of the British army, which was
explained in the House of Commons
on Friday by W. St. J. Broderick, Par
liamentary Secretary of the War
Office, seems to have greatly satisfied
the various factions. An essential fact
is that the scheme adds 23,000 men to
the army, the largest increase ever
proposed in Great Britain in times of
peace. It offers a certain number of
vists on a special payment of one
;:,g daily to partake in minor wars
or emergencies, enabling the War
, (ffice to dispatch 10,000 men on expedi
uithout calling upon the main
reserve. It increases the pay of all
efficients over the age of 19 by three-
The amount hitherto deducted
for rations, and promises that increas
ed effort will be made to procure
employment for reservists. Militia and
volunteer officers also become avail
able for the imperial service.
Great importance is attached to the
proposal to decentralize the war office
by conferring larger financial and initi
ative powers upon g-cneral officers,
thus obviating constant reference to
the war office. Another reform is the
resumption of big maneuvers, which
were dropped twenty-six years ago.
The whole additional coet will be 52,000
,-000 annually.
The present year promises to witness
the biggest boom In shipbuilding ever
knntvn and doubtless the ship-builders
of the T T nited States are arranging to
participate in the consequent demand
finished iron. steeL and machinery
of all descriptions. An idea of the
enormous amount of work on hand can
be formed from the fact that the Clyde
;i!one now has orders of 581,000 tons,
apart from the four big Cunard freight
boats which are said to be in nego
tiation.
Donkeys for Alaskan Trails.
PHOENIX. Feb. 26.— A carload of hur
ri'S leaves Pnoenlx to-night for service
on the Alaskan trails, and will be fol
lowed by other shipments until 600 have
«>een sent. The donkeys are from the
v erde Valley, where they are found al-
Oiost wild, and, in, almost unlimited supply.

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 26.— The morning
session of the Young Men's Christian
Association Convention began with a
paper by Grove F. Ekins of Sacra
mento, entitled, "Our Young Men of
To-Morrow Are the Boys of To-Day. "
Mr. Eklns spoke of the urgent need
of taking care of the boys before they
become tainted with sin. A paper by
W. E. Howard of Los Angeles on edu
cational work followed. It was an ad
mirable description of the work of the
Los Angeles association along this line.
"Spiritual Result in Educational
Work" "was discussed In a paper read
THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1898.
by H. J. McCoy. Mr. McCoy touched
upon many useful points, and a lively
discussion of the whole subject of the
educational work followed.
The convention then resolved itself
Into a business association. The time
of the annual convention was changed
from October to the third week in Feb

terey: Henry French, San Jose; George
Quinan. San Bernardino; George W.
Maraton, San Diego; S. E. Holdon,

The convention passed a resolution of
sympathy with those who are suffering
in Cuba at the present time, and rec
ommended that Individuals of the as
sociation co-operate for their relief as
far as possible. The committee on the
State committee's report recommended
the engaging of a State secretary and

The evening session was held in the

discussed was "An Evening With
Young Men." This was followed by on
address by Professor G. C. Baldwin of
Pomona College, which partook of the
nature of a retrospect of the history
and work of the association.
The convention virtually closed to
night as far as regulnr work is con
cerned. To-morrow the delegates still
here will attend services in the fore
noon. The convention has been one of
the best ever held by the Young Men's
Christian Association of California, and
a great deal of work of a substantial
character for the welfare of the society
was accomplished.
SUNDRY CIVIL
BILL NOT COMPLIED.
But Cannon Held the Floor With It
to the Exclusion of Other
Business.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2f>.— The House
did not complete the consideration of the
sundry civil bill to-day, but Chairman
Cannon held the floor with it until ad
journment, refusing to yield to Boutelle,
the chairman of the Naval Committee,
who was anxious to secure consideration
of the bill reported by his committee for
the relief of the victims and survivors of
the Maine disaster.
About twenty pages of the sundry civil
bill were disposed of to-day. Many ef
fort? wore made by different members to
inject river and harbor items into the bill,
three of them being successful; amend
ments appropriating $300,000 for Cleveland
harbor; >200.000 for Wilmington. Del., and
increasing the appropriation for Boston
harbor from JWO.OOO to $250,000 were
adopted. As contracts for this work
were authorized they were In order un
der the rules.
The End Is Near.
March 8 will wind up one of the great
est sales of Furniture ever heard of at
the Fattosien Company, Sixteenth and
Minion. They have been doing a rushing
business the last two months known
as the dullest months in the year;
the low cut in prices did it. People must

Special Dispatch to The Call.
SAN JOSE, Feb. 26.— The petition of
George E. Barron for a termination of
the trust created by the will of his fa
ther. Edward Barron, was denied by
Judge Hyland to-day, and there is but
little chance of a compromise of the
contest of Edward Barren's will being
effected. The decision Is as follows:
The petition of George E. Barron, filed
in this court on the Ist day of February,
1898 asking for a decree terminating the
trust bequest of $100,000 to the petitioner
herein and the creating of a new trust,
is denied for the following reasons:
All of the beneficiaries interested In
■aid fund are not before the court.
That the contingent Interest of the un
born children of George E. Barron must
he preserved until the death ot George
Barron.
All the parties in interest have not filed
their written consent.
The trust Is a valid trust. Its purpose
is not impossible.
The will of Edward Barron placed
$100,000 in a trust fund for the benefit
of George E. Barron, who was to have
the income during life, and at his death
it was to be divided among his children.
If George Barron died without any
children the money was to go to his
brother or the latter's heirs. The bal
ance of the estate, valued at $1.500,000.
with the exception of $200,000 for W. R.
Barron, another son, was given to Eva

set aside, on the ground of unsound

into. It was proposed' to terminate the
trust fund, giving George Barron $50,

interest. The other $50,000 was to ba
put into another trust fund.
