I will have, however, no further an- nouncements to make of my candidacy than I have given to you.” Senator White's failure to stand as a candidate will come out as a wet | blanket to Democratic hopes and aspi- rations in Southern California.

The Senator takes a most hopeful view of the outlook for his party’s suc- cess in the elections of 1898 through- | out the country, and more particularly in California. In discussing this fea- ture he said: “My honest judgment, formed as a result of association with leaders from | all parts of the country and hearing | reports from every section of the coun- | fore; the principl that the sentiment in favor of try, bimetallism and the restoration of sil- | | ver to its old position & a money has not taken any backward steps since the Chicago convention of 96. On the othef hand, my opinion is that our par- t which onal platform were em- bedied in our na of eighteen months since are stronger in | than | the minds of the people to-d they ever were. In my position as chairman of the Democratic Congres- sional Committee I have opportunities | of obtaining a great deal of information meet all arguments of those favoring | the treaty. He is at the same time able as a parliamentarian to meet our friends, the enemy. i of course, discussed n, and what trans- of discussion of the “The treaty in executive red in the way subject never reached the people. was a matter of great regret to us who were of the opposition. We made an earnest endeavor to have the doors opened during its discussion, but we did not succeed. There existed really no reason why they should not be opened, and there were many reasons why they should. The people of the country, taken as a whole, really know nothing about this matter. I have found that wherever it is discussed and they become fully posted as to the facts they are opposed to it. I should have liked very much to have had the arguments aga and for annexation made during the executive sessions of the Senate gone before the people of the United State During the dis- cussion with closed doors nothing of a sensational nature transpired, and if there had been it would have leaked out almost as soon as it was uttered or developed fin the executive session. Executive sessions of the Senate are now executive only in name. i This | on this subject, and I, therefore, speak with more or less authority. “The views of Senator James XK. Jones, chairman of the National Com- mittee, so far as they advocate the union of all the silver forces in the coming Congressional and State cam- | paigns, are generally indorsed by the | Democratic party everywhere. gold people will not derive any satisfac- tion from the proceedings of the pres- ent Congress, for, although there is a solid Republican majority in the House of Representatives, that body cannot agree upon any affirmative financial legislation. “Here in California, I think, the pros- pects for thesuccessofthe Demccratic part be brighter. We are this State and by majority shall return to Washington in about ten days, and shall not be in Cal- ifcrnia again until after the adjourn- ment of Congress. In about eight days I shall leave for the north, and after a day or two with my friends there I shall go on to Washington by the northern route without again return- going to carry an overwhelming | ing to Southern California.” “If the treaty should come up for ap- | proval during my absence it would make no difference, as I have two votes in favor of the treaty paired with me. “‘As soon as the treaty is defeated, 1 am inclined to think an endeavor will be made to annex Hawaii by joint reso- lution. Should a measure be intro- du. 1 feel confident that it would be defeated. It would be open to discus- sion, and it would give us an oppor- tunity which we have not had yet to educate the country on the subject. There would be an open debate, and the | whole matter would be presented with | the invincible arguments we have against the proposition, to annex these | islands. The result of this debate, I am certain, would be the defeat of the joint resolution. ““With regard to the disastrous catas- trophe to the Maine in Havana harbor the other day, I see no reason to change the views I expressed at Chicago. There s no cause as yet for any war with pain, and I do not think there will be any. The affair looks to me at this distance as though it was purely an accident, and 1 do not see how it can be regarded in any other light until we are | in possession of evidence to the con- trary. That can be given us only by the naval board of inquiry. There is no reason for any war scare, and there will be no conflict at arms between the United States and Spain.” The Senator gave an exhibition Qf} true Senatorial courtesy in what he said of Marcus A. Hanna of Ohio. He was questioned as to the possibility of Mr. Hanna losing his seat in the Sen- ate, and he said: “I feel very delicate about speaking for publication in re- gard to a matter of this kind. Up to this time there is nothing before the United States Senate upon which to base any question as to the legality of Mr. Hanna's election by the Ohjo Legis- lature. If there were it would not be good form for me to express any opin- jon as to the case or what I thought about it. I would be called upon to sit | The Senator is literally buried be- neath an avalanche of business, and his friends call upon him in legions. THOUSANDS AT THE CITRUS FATR CLOVERDALE, Feb. 21..—The Citrus Fair is still a great drawing card, every incoming train bringing visitors by the score from all points within a radius of 100 miles. There is nothing so fascinat- ing to look upon as an orange tree laden with its golden fruit, ‘and when the rich- Iy colored products of the orange and lemon trees are heaped together in great pyramids, constructed into buildings, fountains and designs of every conceiv- able shape that art can devise, sur- rounded by elaborate and artistic decora- tions, tropical and wild owers and other fruits, they prove an irresistible attrac- tion. In addition there is a local pride in this semi-tropical belt which has caused local fairs to become popular. Providence seems to smile upon Clover- dale. Yesterday being the Sabbath the fair was closed, so when the flood gates of heaven opened early in the morning to pour forth needed rain it acted as no detriment to the fair. This morning the clouds had rolled away, delightful warm spring day followed and to-night the pavillon was thronged. This afternoon the Healdsburg Glee Club of twenty male voices supplied en- tertainment at the pavilion. Flags floated at half-mast to-day all over the city in token of the mourning over the dead marines of the Maine. The programme of the Cloverdale band to-night included many patriotic airs, which were received with the wildest applause by the large au- dience, which showed intense anti-Span- ish feeling. “The Star Spangled Banner” ‘was encored ofte: £ Go to O'Brien & Sons for modern style, high-grade surreys, phaetons and buggies at low prices.

HOME RULE FOR [RELAND Local Government Bill Passes Its First Reading. Meets No Opposition in the British House of Commons. Hailed as a Great Improvement Over the Measure of 1892. Bpectal Dispatch to Thé Call. LONDON, Feb. 21.—The House of Commons was crowded to-day when the Chief Secretary of Ireland, Gerald Balfour, introduced the Irish local gov- In so doing Mr. Balfour said he thought it possible the new or- der of things would at first seem a fail- ure,- but he believed it would work through failure to success, which would be the beginning of better and brighter days for Ireland. The Government, Mr. Balfour contin- ued, proposed that the local adminis- tration be distributed between county | councils, urban and rural district coun- cils and boards of election, the election of which would be by parliamentary franchise, with the addition of peers and women. The qualifications and disqualifications for election of the councilors would be the same as in England, except that ministersofreligion would be disqualified from sitting in the county or district council, the Gov- ernment acting therein in accordance with precedents. ;! For the sake of convenience, Mr. Bal- four further explained, the boundaries of the existing unions and also of the counties would be modified and the county councils would take over the du- ties of grand juries, but only in fiscal matters, and would not include crimi- nal jurisdiction or questions of compen- sation for maliclous injuries. (Irish ohs.) The elections for county and district councils would be triennial, and all would retire together. The coun- ty councils would be the sole rate-col- lecting authority, and would control the expenditures. They would alsc be re- sponsible for dealings with exceptional distress, and would decide when the re- quests of boards of guardians for out- door relief should be granted. Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Limerick, Londonderry and Waterford would be constituted in- dependent ccunty councils. The coun- ty would be responsible for half the ex- tra expenditures. Mr. Balfour also pointed out that the bill provided that the occupler was lia- ble to both the county, cess and poor rate, whether in a town or rural dis- trict, which would involve a readjust- ment of rents, an equal sum to be granted from the imperial exchequer as an agricultural grant. Mr. Balfour said he thought the bill was based upon broad, democratic lines. John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ire- land in the late Liberal administration, welcomed the bill'as being “a genuine democratic effort.” Timothy Healy, Irish Nationalist, praised the bill, and Michael Davitt, Irish Nationalist, threatened opposition to that part of the bill promising relief to the landlords in the shape of an ag- ricultural grant. The bill eventually passed its first reading. N0 MORE GAMBLING [N YOLO Immediate Effect the Expose in The Call. of The County Officials Will Drive Out the “Sure- Thing” Men.

Of course when the games stop it takes money out of my pocket, but I can get along without it if I am com- pelled to.” “How do the games put money in your pocket?” he was asked. “Well, it is like this,” Mr. Morris re- plied. “Rider and Daroux give me 10 per cent of every dollar I send to play on the races. It makes no difference whether th: persons sending. it win or lose. I get my 10 per cent just the same, and of course I would like to see the games go on.” s “Then you did have some interest in the protection of the gamblers?” “Yes, I have always been a gambling man myself and have always looked out for their interests when I could. 1 am making about $100 every month and I would naturally feel like doing what I could for them. What money I make is legitimate.” Deputy Sheriff Brown was then seen and made the following statement: “In the first place, I believe this is a trick to injure me in my political am- bitions, and I believe some one is be- ing well paid for it. I was seen with Morris in Washington and afterwards in Sacramento, but I never made a de- mand on any one for a cent and every word of Castleman’s story so far as I am concerned is a lie. The time when Castleman says he saw me with Morris was when we happened to be together in Washington and not a word was said by us in the way of demand- ing money.” “Did you ever demand money from George Vice?” “1 did not.” “Did you ever demand money from George Green?” “1 did not.” “Was there any arrangement or un- red into between in his denial of every charge involving him. “Some days ago,” said he, “a young | man came to me in Woodland and said | he wanted to open 2 poolroom in Wash- ington, and that he wanted to know | how much it was going to cost him for | protection.

I feel quite certain, however, that at the next meeting of the board an ordinance will be passed which will enable the law officers of Yolo County to close the When asked if he had read the state- ment in The Call concerning the prac- tices of bribery, Mr. Hopkins said: “Yes, I have read them, and while I am not surprised at the publication, I must say that the Sheriff of Yolo County and his deputy, Mr. Brown, have been unjustly censured. I know very well that there have been many rumors afloat involving us all over there. In speaking for myself I can say that I worried at first over these reports, but of late I have pald little attention to them. If Mr. Morris ever received any money for me I can only say that he did so without my au- thority or consent. I do not believe that he ever did. Mr. Morris is my friend politically and that is probably the reason why our names have been associated together.” “Did Mr. Morris ever act for you on any matter pertaining to the pool- room and gambling house in Washing- ton?” “Not with my consent.” “pDid you ever talk to Mr. Morris about such matters?” “We never exchanged a word.” “When was your attention first called to the situation of affairs in Washing- ton 22y “A long time ago. I tried to convict some faro players over there, but they demanded a jury and were: acquitted. By the way, one of Mr. Castleman’s brothers was on this same jury. and, if I remember rightly, he had a cousin or two. This man Castleman subse- quently swore to a warrant, and I told him I could not make the ordinance stick, but for him not to dismiss the case and I would secure the passage of a new one. He went, notwithstand- ing my suggestion, and had the case dismissed.” “Why was this amended ordinance not passed?” “It was my own fault. I had some other matters to attend to .and neg- lected it. I will see to it, however, when the board meets next month; and, as I said before, I am quite certain that a new ordinance will be passed ‘which will be legal and one which can- not be avoided on constitutional grounds.” Abe Morris, who was present while Most Complexion Powders have a vulgar glare, but Pozzox1’s is a beaatifier, whose effects are lasting. talk I have ever had with any one.” The Sheriff denied that he had been paid $40 on one occasion in the pool- room at Washington, and further stat- ed that he did not know half of the people mentioned. The two Supervisors being out of the city, Mr. Snyder was telephoned to from Woodland, the first question be- in| “Have you read Castleman’s state- ment in to-day’'s Call?” “I have,” he replied. “Do you wish to say anything in con- nection with it?” “I will say nothing, unless it is in the presence of my attorneys.” That being the case, The Call cor- respondent came to Sacramento, and later saw Mr. Snyder in the office of his attorneys, Bruner & Brothers. Speaking through them, Mr. Snyder simply said: “I deny everything that has said.” ‘When asked if there was anything more he wished to say, his attorneys instructed him to say no more. Mr. Snyder did say, however, that Mr. Cas- tleman was not responsible for what he was reported as having said. “He is wrong in the upper story and his friends have known it for a long time,” he declared. The expose in The Call was the chief topic of discussion all day in Wood- land, Washington and Sacramento. The Bee to-night published a greater por- tion of the article, but made no com- ment.
