SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York, Budding Ambitions That May Be Blighted by Convention Frost. Few Places on the State Ticket, But No Dearth of Men to Fill Them. NOT UNKNOWN TO FAME. Possible Territorial Differences That ¥ Ruin the Chances of Some Promising Aspirants. The present war talk Is suggestive of the idea that if all politiclans were pa- triots the saftey of the nation might very well be left In the keeping of Call- fornians. That is to say, there are enough gentlemen who are aspirants to places within the gift of the people | of the State at the coming election to make a most formidable showing if drawn up in a body on the field of bat- tle. Ideas suggested by the present condi- tion of international affairs have very little to do, however, with the coming campalgn and the aspirations of the gentlemen who would not object to having their names appear on the State ticket. To consider the chances of the numerous aspirants partakes scmewhat of the element of chance involved in a future book on the great There are plenty of entries, but a scarcity of data for the form players. It is a question of pay your money and take your choice. The fact that the conditions are fa- vorable for a Republican walk-over de- tracts nothing from the excitement in- cident to the scramble for a place on the winning ticket. As far as the head of the ticket is concerned there is no scarcity of available timber. That a strong man will be selected there is no doubt, but there is a doubt, and a very grave one, whether the man will come from the northern or southern half of the State. Even at this early day there is being made a strong effort to har- monize these territorlai differences by some sort of compromise that will at once satisfy the meritorious claims of the Republican leaders on both sides of the Tehachapi line. It is urged not without truth, that among the leaders in the middle and northern counties, who have signified a desire to head the ticket, there are some whose services | to the party in the past give them a claim to present recognition that is too strong to be lightly ignored. On the part of southern Republicans it may be sald that the same claim is being made, an argument that is further strengthened by the assertion made by politiclans south of the line that the time has now arrived when it is their turn to name at least one of the party leaders. This, then, is the basis upon which all differences, if they can be dignified by so strohg a term, are to be adjusted. Although no actual adva ces have been made by interested parties on either side, it is generally under- stood among those who are supposed to know that the southern half of the State will be accorded the right to name the Republican candidate for United States Senator and that the north will select the nominee for Gov- ernor. This arrangement, while generally | satisfactory, will not meet with the ap- proval of William Arthur, chairman of the last Republican State convention. The fact that his home is at Pcsadena would place him at once, territorially speaking, onthelist of ineligibles. While not an active and declared candidate for the place at the head of the ticket, Arthur is still one of the southern gu- bernatorial possibilities. Should his as- pirations be made to suffer because of | any agreement such as has been out- lined he would have plenty of compan- fonship in his discomfiture, as there are others on the other side of Tehachapi who would not object to the nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket. Among these is Henry Gage, the Los Angeles attorney. If present indications are to be taken into account there is every reason to believe that Gage will not push his claim for recognition as a candidate for Governor, but ‘will take advantage of the trend of events and take his chances on being selected as the man to be voted for when the next Legislature takes up the task of elect- ing a United States Senator. In this he is receiving the support of Colonel Otis | through the medium of the Los Angeles Times. The same paper has given evi- dence of 2 budding desire to father the gubernatorial aspirations of Attorney General Fitzgerald. State Senator An- drous may be declared out of the run- ning, he being entirely and wholly sat- isfied with the position of Postmaster at Pomona, a political plum that is well within his reach. In the northern counties the crop of would-be gubernatorial candidates passes all belief. District Attorney Barnes will make a bid for the nomina- tion, and his chances of receiving it are sufficlently strong, when judged by present standards, to make him ap im« look for the Coming Campaign. portant factor in the coming race. Ex- Mayor L. R. Ellert and Attorney J. C. Campbell are also to be reckoned on as among the strong ones whose names Will be on the list of those Who will want to be at the head of the class at the next State convention. State Sen- ator Tom Flint has a strong following, and is openly using every means within his power to win the coveted place on the ticket. Alameda County as usual is in the front rank as a candidate producer, the names of Dr. Pardee and ex-Mayor Davis being already on the list of those Who want to be Chief Executive during the four years beginning January 1, 1899. As for either of the gentlemen named there is at this time no better way of designating their chances than by saying that they are standing on their records after a declaration of in- tention. Lou H. Brown, Secretary of State, is Solano County’s prize candi- date. He is active and confident, and will, no doubt, so far augment his po- litical capital as to make his nomina- tion for and election to the position he now holds almost a certainty. L. P. Colgan, State Controller, is also a gubernatorial possibility, and, like Brown, having been a worthy and eflicient officer of the State government, will probably succeed himself in his present position. General Dickinson, State Senator from Marin County, has confessed a desire to lead the party to victory at the coming election, but mod- estly hints at the possession of no more political power than the ability to de- liver the Marin County delegation at the convention. As the Sausalito states- man and soldier is too great a diplomat to show his hand so early in the game it is safe to presume that he has some- thing up his sleeve. Poor health will probably relieve these and other prospective candidates of a formidable opponent in the person of Jacob Neff. His great personal pop- ularity and devotion to party princi- ples are known from one end of the | State to the other and need no com- ment. There remains on the list still an< |other name, .that of State Senator | Morehouse, of Safita Clara County. His repeated announcement of his designs |on the gubernatorial chair have met | with such unvarying good humor on the | part of others who have aspirations in |the same direction that his many | friends have been somewhat taken | aback by the intimation that he is will- |ing to give his opponents a chance by | | withdrawing from the race before it has | bezun. This is done, however, without prejudice to his soaring ambition which now directs its flight to the nation’s fo. rum. He thinks the Senatorial toga would not be unbecoming to him, and to gain it he will enter the lists with some score or more of candidates who, unlike himself, may be unfortunate in not having the prestige due to corpora- tion affiliations. On the other side of the political fence there is no lack of public spirited gentlemen who desire to serve their | fellow citizens in the capacity of Gov- | ernor of the State. Congressman James | G. Maguire is probably the most prom- inent of these. His services to the State in the National Legislature are well known to all and need no repeti- tion. Amongthose who will undoubtedly oppose him in his desire to secure the | nomination for Governor there are those who are equally well known in recent political history. The contest i will lose none of its interest, not to say | acrimony, because of this. Lieutenant- Governor William T. Jeter will have a strong following, the manner in which he has fulfilled the duties of his pres. ent position having added much to his personal and public popularity. State Senator J. H. Seawell, the Democratic warhorse of Mendocino County, is also out for the place at the head of the ticket. He is a power in the Democratic fold, and his chances of winning the prize are not worse than those of others. H. M. La Rue, Rail- | road Commissioner from Sacramento | County, s a would-be candidate, as is Frank H. Gould, late of Stockton, now of San Francisco. Gould is at present an office-holder by favor of Governor Budd, and it may be that he will elect to so continue, the chances of his suc- cess In securing the nomination for Governor being at present extremely problematical. Mayor Phelan is a pros- pective candidate, and is considered by his opponents to be a strong factor in the impending struggle for place on the ticket. The man who will ask or receive the support of the southern Democrats is not yet sufficiently in evidence to make his identity apparent at this distance from the scene. Even should such a man come forward, it is not thought he would have a following sufficlently strong, numerically, to seriously Jeap- ardize the chances of any one of the men from the bay counties. Chairman Alford of the Democratic State Central Committee has intimated that it would be a graceful act on the part of his party to secure him the Democratic nomination for Governor, in recognition of his long and arduous labors for the cause. So far as known, the hint has borne no fruit. Outside districts in Tulare County have not yet been heard from. Among those on the Republican side of the road who have by word of mouth or through the medium of their friends or enemies declared themselves as can- didates for election to the United States Senate there appear the names of Henry Gage, Code Commissioner R. N. Buila, E. F. Preston, State Senator Morehouse, U. S. Grant Jr,, Irving M. Scott, M. H. de Young, ex-Congress- man Charles N. Felton and some others who at this time are not sufficiently prominent to warrant even a conjecture as to what figure they will cut in the coming carapaign. Gage and Morehouse have already been referred to. Grant is one of the popular men of the south land, and this, added to the pres- tige of his honorable name, makes him one of the strongest candidates in the field. This is particularly true when considered in the light of a possible agreement to select a southern man as the next Republican Senator. From a political point of view much uncertainty attaches to tha candidacy POLITICS FOR POLITICIANS of State Senator Bulla. It is generally understood that three years ago, in or- der to win the southern votes for Sen- ator Perkins, an agreement was en- tered into whereby the promise was given that the next United States Sen- ator should come from the south. The agreement is said to have been made that Bulla was to have the place when the time came. The time having now arrived Bulla’s .friends ‘are demanding a fulfillment of the agreement. His candidacy is sald to be in the hands of Collector of the Port John P. Jackson and Billy Hamilton. There is every prospect of a very pretty three-cornered race between Bulla, Gage and Grant. If there is to be a contest in the south there will also be one in the north. De Young will have the support of his own paper, the Chronicle. Scott, whose reputation as a public-spirited citizen is second to none, is well and favorably known from one end of the State to the other. Pres- ton has an unimpeachable record and is free from political leading strings, and Felton has the prestige of his rec- ord in Congress. On the other side of the fence every- thing depends upon the very uncertain event of the election of a Democratic Legislature. This grave uncertainty has had the effect of joining the hands, for a moment, of the men who have designs on the Senatorial toga. Gover- nor Budd, W. W. Foote and Senator ‘White have temporarily buried the hatchet and will work together for the good of the cause until election day. Should the unexpected happen and the Legislature prove to be Democratic, then friendship will cease and the pipe of peace be broken. If the present pro- gramme be carried out the throat cut- ting that will ensue will result in the survival of the fittest and the victor will be declared Senator. In doing this, however, the gentlemen named are counting without Tom Clunie and Judge Willlam T. Waliace. Clunie is an antagonist not to be despised, and Judge Wallace, if he decide: to try for United States Senator as against a po- sition on the Supreme Court bench, may be heard from when the lists are opened. AN OFFICIAL'S LIFE IN DANGER Japanese Labor Contract- ors Hint at a Possible Murder. Immigration Inspector Geffe- ney Warned That He Is in the Way. Has Been Too Zealous In the Dis- charge of His Duty and Must Now Go Armed. The Immigration Commissioner has Just discovered that there is no law on the statute books of the United States to punish persons who may threaten Federal officials connected with the Im- migration Bureau. As a consequence Immigration Inspector A. H. Geffeney has armed himself with a Colt’s self- cocking revolver and spends several hours each week practicing at a mark. All this flurry in the bureau is be- cause of a most bare-faced attempt on the part of Japanese coolie contractors | and importers of contract laborers from Japan to intimidate him by veiled | threats against his life. Four years ago Mr. Geffeney, at that time having | been three years in the bureau, accepted |a glass of port wine in a Japanese | house in this city whither he had gone | on business connected with his office. | The wine was one-third laudanum, and came on the steamship Peru. Fifty-one of them are people from Wakayama, 6 from Aichi, 4 from Kanagawa, 3 from Osake, 2 from Mive, 1 from Toyama, 1 from Yamanashi, 1 from Ishikawa, 1 from Chiba, etc. Most all of them people of the Wakayama Ken. It may be the kind of people who are so-called students of agriculture. If so, they will have the misfortune to be deported. ‘While making the examination on the Peru Geffeney caught Y. Islukama tear- ing a paper. He seized the paper and found that it was a labor contract sim- ilar to one published in The Call sev- eral weeks ago. Islukama placed a twenty-dollar piece on the table and said that his four companions would each add a twenty, making the sum $100, if Geffeney would allow them to land. Mr. Geffeney reported this fact to his superior officer and held the five immigrants for further investigation. Commissioner North said to a Call reporter yesterday that if the Japanese | persisted in threatening the lives of im- | migration officers Cengress would be likely to pass a law excluding the Jap- anese from the country, as well as the Chinese. Later in the -day Deputy United States Attornev Schlesinger advised Commissioner North that the attempt- ed bribery of the inspector was an of- fense against the Federal statutes, but that it was cheaper to deport the of- fender than to prosecute him. In case Islukama should appeal and should be allowed to land by a decision of the Secretary of the Treasury he could be prosecuted for the attempt at bribery. The attempt to bribe was equivalent to a confession on the part of the of- fender that he was trying to effect a landing illegally. It is probable that Commissioner North may adopt the course suggested. IS TAUGHT A SEVERE LESSON J. Kellan Sentenced Six Months in the to his client being interrogated as to the occasions on which he had been previously arrested. The attorney de- murred, and the Judge thereupon sen- tenced the defendant to six months in the County Jail. Kellan's record, according to the police, is a bad ome. About twelve years ago, while he was in Eureka, Humboldt County, where he was known as a “tinhorn” gambler, he fatally shot a sailor, and was arrested and tried for murder. He was in the Scandinavia saloon, kept by Nels Peterson, and had some trouble with Peterson. He went to a gunshop and borrowed a revolver. Returning to the saloon, he renewed the quarrel with Peterson and backed out onto the side- walk. Three or, four sailors followed him and he wheeled around and fired at them. The bullet struck one of the sailors in the abdomen, and he died in two or three days. He was convicted of murder in the second degree, and was sentenced to twenty years in the State prison. After serving five or six vears he was pardoned by the Gov- ernor. Kellan returned to Eureka, and short- ly afterward married Mrs. Smith, a widow. They came to this city, and on October 18 last, while his brother-in- law was stopping with him at 213 Welsh street, Kellan came home under the influence of liquor and began beat- ing his wife. Her screams attracted the attention of her brother, and he ran to her assistance. Kellan got hold of a monkey-wrench and struck his brother-in-law several blows on the head with it, nearly killing him. Kellan was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, and was held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Joachim- sen in $500 bonds. When the case was tried in the Superior Court on Novem- ber 10 it was dismissed, as the brother- in-law was an unwilling witness for the prosecution, and tried to assume all the blame for the assault. —_——————— A LOST LEG.

Be- sides a profound knowledge of the law he has a sedate and even judgment pe- culiarly fitting to a Supreme Court Jus- tice. is also a prospective candidate, rely- ing somewhat upon the reputed ability of his friend, General Dickinson, to de- liver the county delegation. Judge Sweeney of Shasta has announced his candidacy, as have also Judge Wil- liams of Ventura, Judge Clark of Los Angeles and Judge Torrence of San Diego. None of the present Justices are from the south, and for this reason it is believed the convention will recog- nize the claims of at least one of the Jurists from below the line. Some score or more of others have been “mentioned.” In fact, it would be {very hard to find a Superior Court Judge in the State who could not be in- | duced, with very little persuasion, to accept the nomination for one of these most coveted positions, Tirey L. Ford, the talented San Francisco lawyer, is said to stand in great favor as a prospective candidate for the position of Attorney-General. Parris of San Diego is also mentioned for the place, but there is little pros- pect that he will remain in the field if by so doing he would injure the candi- dacy of Assemblyman W. R. Guy, also of San Diego. Guy’s record in the As- sembly is without a blot, and his la- bors as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee resulted in the sav- ing of many thousands of dollars to the State. His present candidacy is a pop- ular one. Congressman De Vries wants to suc- ceed himself as Congressman from the Second District. District Attorney Frank D. Ryan is also out for the place, but his aspirations are likely to be nipped in the bud because of his alleged inability to secure the support of the Sacramento delegation. This fact will materially enhance the chances of P. A. Buell and Judge Walling, who are also seeking the nomination. If present indications count for anything A. J. Johnston will get the nomination to succeed himself as State Printer. ‘While the scramble goes on among those who are looking for a place on the State ticket there are others mnot unknown to fame who are keeping their fires lighted In anticipation of a few fat Federal plums that are to be handed out from Washington in the near future. State Senator Shine is said to be sure of succeeding Barry Baldwin as United States Marshal for the northern district of California. As to who will be the next United States District Attorney another story must be told. Frank Coombs, who was Speaker of the last Assembly, {s known to have had aspirations in that direc- tion, but it is now said that he is quite content with his recently acquired po- sition of State Librarian. Believing this to be so others who have designs on the District Attorneyship are leav- ing him out of their calculations. Eu- gene F. Bert may get the coveted posi- tion if he is able to overcome the oppo- sition that he must expect to encoun- ter from the friends of R. T. Devlin, who, very naturally, would not object to this particular Presidential favor. After all is said it cannot be denied that the game, so far as the coming campaign is concerned, is still too young to make what racecourse critics call a form forecast. There is still plenty of time for the training of dark horses, or some untried youngster may show speed that will throw some of the old campaigners far in the shade. It is well within the range of possibilities that not one of the men whose names have been mentioned as being among those who aspire to the nomination for Governor will be permitted to achieve his ambition.

Mr. Geffeney informed his visitors | that he proposed to do his duty unde- terred by threats of bodily or other in- jury. He reported the fact to Com- | missioner North, and they went to Deputy United States Attorney Schles- |inger and laid the matter before him. Mr. Schlesinger could not find any law in the Tederal statutes to cover the | case, and therefore the matter of the attempted intimidation could not be brought before the court. The next day, which was last Satur- day, 1r. Geffeney went on board the | steamship Peru, where seventy-one Japanese immigrants were awaiting | examination. While there he inter- | cepted a letter which was being smug- | gled on board by a Japanese employe | of the steamer Belgic. The letter was | in the Japanese characters and was ad- dressed to one of the immigrants on | board the Peru, by name Honda Tomo- kusu. The following is a translation of the letter: When you are examined as to landing and are answering the questions do as follows: Recently men were sent back on the ground that they wanted to learn farming and would not work.

She was despondent low-spirited, inclined to imagine all sorts of things. One thing especially scemed to be in her mind ; that was the idea that abscesses were forming in different partsof her body. The sister who tells the story kad found Ripans Tabules a specific for headache, and generally had a supply on hand. One day, more in joke than in earnest, she said to the afflicted one: “Try theses they'll cure you.” Well, she did try them, and strangely enough the Tabules did cure her. The despondency left her.
