CALIFORNIA KRPL'KLICAX.
Almost An Entire Sweep of tbe
Ticket.
San Francisco. Nov. 6. Late
this afternoon the cooiplete returns
had been received fiom more than
half of Ui precincts in California
outside of han l rancisco, and lrom
about two-third.- of the precinctH
in this city. Three returns give
Mtirkham, republican, for gover
nor, more than ten thousand plur
ality over IVoud, democrat, and
also show that the republicans
have carried the entire state
ticket bv a genet ally pimilnr plur
ality. The entire republican
ticket in tins city, with the exc p
tion of one minor oflice, i-t uu
doubtei'ly elected tv pluralities
ranging from a few hundred to foar
thousand. The returns from the
precincts heard from give Sander
son, reputiiican, lor mayor, a plur
ality of twenty-five hundred over
O'lionnell, independent. There
seems to be no duiibt that the re
publicans have elected five out of
the t-ix congressmen in the state,
and the iudicat.ons are that the
entire congressional delegation
will be republican, though the con
test in the lirst district is very
close. The returns form a little
less than half the precincts in the
first district show that Barham,
republican, is leadir g by 1 1 vo'e?.
The legislature which" will elect
the U. S senator will have a large
republican majority in both
branches. The indications are
that the democrats have elected
three out of the tenty-tvo assem
blymen fn this city and that the
five senators from san Francisco
will be all republicans.

ComiMealoaer Report u
ThO
Beaded Road. j
Washington, Nov. rj. The re
port of the"ommissioner of rail
roads con tsftns full information in
regard to the condition of several
railroad cotnpanies coming under
the jurifdiciion of his oHich for the
fiscal yearnding June 30, IRttl.
As to improvements on bonded
roads the commissioner says : "1
am unable to report that many
impiovemts have recently leen
and are continually being made.
These improvements, where they
are made on bonded railroads, are
specially valuable to the govern
ment as thi y n-t only in.-rease the
earning m icity of the roads but
dd aJ;" to tbe . value of the
propVrYv." The amount received
from bonded railroads this year
was slightly below the amount
received for the proceeding year."
riiin, the commissioner 6ys, "is
not owing to decrease in business,
but to the fact that unu-ual ex
penditures hate been made by the
Union Ptcific c nnpany. in tbe
purchase of new rolling stock.
As to the present financial rela
tions between the bonded roid
and the government," the com
missioner says ''the same unfor
tunate condition of things exist
.ow that always existed since the
bonds, created in aid of their con
struction, was issued, viz: That
amounts annually received from
the roais fall largely below the
amount of interest annually accru
ing from the eubsidy railroads
debts; therefore a large sum is due
the government from these roads,
and the interest is being redu-ed,
as it as the evident expectation
of congress that they would be
rapidly increasing year by y?ar.
This incrc.se, however, is not due
to any failure ot railroad com
panies to comply with the pro
visions of the existing laws. Ike
fault rests in the laws themselves.
The per cents of net earnings e
onire I by law to be plain in dis
charging of the government obli
gations, is not great enough to
meet the interest which annually
accrues upon bonds issued to and
in aid of the construction of the
roads. The commissioner adheres
to the opinion that it will lie
necessary to extend time in w hich
the railroads may meet their obli
gstions to tbe government. He
suggests that in no event should
the government be loBer by grant
ing extension.'- The total net
liability of the Union Pacific road
to government, on June 30, 1800,
was 151,717,5(12. Liability to gov
ernment of tbe Central Pacific is
given as $53,320,765.

,r perty to one Adam Grossman.
Included in this property was the
IHillsliea l saloon, which has been -the
lone of contention between
C ayburn and Grossman ever
sine-. The former -ffe-ted a re
conciliation with bis wife. Last
Sat-.irday Grossman was instra- -mental
in having the doois of tbe
saloon closed, and today Mrs.
Clavburn, armed with an ax, ami
with her hnsvand for a body '
i'iard, armed with a Winchester,
tried to burst in tbe door of tiie
saloon, but wa forced to desiBt by
the officers, and Mrs. Clay hum n
ti'.niod tt her homi. Clayburii
ir,mlf stooil g'lard over the prem-i-es
for a time, but was ar-ested
and afterward rcleasedjon bail.
Marshal Husk then attempted
to arrest Case Baker, Clayburn'a
attorney, but Baker, with the
aa-!stanc of his son, resisted tbe
o!ii(vr, aud an encounter took
jdace, in which the marshal was
defeated, and Baker is still at
laree. What the outcome will bi
is hard to say, but it may end very
seriously.
CrossiiMn is said to be inside of
the locked up saloon on guard.
The first snow of the faeaa-n felf
