Eas 0 “ANYBODY, BUT NOT DAN BURNS.” BODIE, Jan. 7.—"It Is an insult to the people of California that such a notorious character as Dan Burns should presume gone home is on the probability of a Sen- atorial caucus. All this morning the Grant people were out sizing up the Strength and sounding the majority mem- bers to see whether or not a caucus would be a safe thing to monkey Wwith. The Burns people have been doing the same thing, but not as openly as have the friends of the San Diegan. ~If a cau- cus ds held the first joint ballot will take place in the Assembly chamber at pre- cisely noon Tuesday. If a caucus is not held the programme is to effect the sep- arate ballots in Senate and Assembly on Tuesday and have the first joint ballot at Wednesday noon. After the first ballot on Tuesday, Whether it be joint or otherwise, an ava- lanche of bills “will follow in both houses. Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento has a Whole deskful of them, Cobb of the San Francisco delegation has another and Radcliffe of Santa Cruz has a_half dozen ready to crowd in first on the file. Among Radcliffe’s bills is one that is of particu- lar interest to his county. It provides for the creation and main- talning of a camp ground for the State militia. at Laveaga Park, one of the most beautiful spots in the vicinity of the City of the Cross. The park is the property of the city, a legacy ?rom the late Jose Vi- cente de Laveaga, and its use as a camp ground will be freely given by the mu- nicipality. The outgoing 2 o’clock train left scarce a score of the members of either house in town, and legislative matters bid fair to be anything but swift during the next forty-eight hours. FIRST WEEK OF THE SENATORIAL FIGHT CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 7.—The forces of the vari- ous Senatorial candidates have now been in the fleld one week, yet the situation is practically the same as it was at the time of the assemblying of the Legisla- ture. Members have been pulled and hauled, cajoled, caressed and threatened and here at the end of the week the op- posing forces can count noses without marking any losses or accessions in the ranks of their followers. The Grant men lay claim to the ac- quirement of several votes, but the claim is not borne out in its essential details. The Burns forces are still claiming ev: erytning in sight, but, strange to say, they have no more votes in sight than they had when they came to Sacramento last Sunday. What they had then was less than half of the number required to elect a United States Senator and so, nat- urally enough, there is no undue hilarity in the Burns camp. Bulla and Barnes and Knight profess entire satisfaction over the result of the week's work, a fact that leads naturally to the inference that 1hef’ are easily satisfied. The Paterson, Beale and Bard booms seem to have died a natural death. The one principal fact that has been de- veloped by the first week of Senatorial skirmishing is that there is not a single candidate in the field who has the posi- tive promise of more than half as many votes as are needed to elect him. Condi- tlons are such that there will be no ma- terfal change in the situatlion between now and next Tuesday, the time fixed by law for the taking of the first ballot for Senator. A deadlock, which will last indefinitely. is likely to be the result. That the expected deadlock will not ex- tend over a greater period than one week is the expressed belief of the wiser ones among the legislators and politicians as- sembled at the capital, but political signs are more susceptible 'to misconstruction than other brands, and there is no one who dares to make a positive prediction as to when the end will come. There are to-day many outward and visible signs that the *‘sack’ of one or more of the Senatorial eandidates has ar- rived. Burns’ lieutenants, many of whom are San Francisco political bums and heelers, who are known in the metropolis as men who are constantly in need of a square meal and a decent suit of clothes, are each jingling a pocketful of double eagles and playing the bountiful host to legislators. 'he men buzz in and out of Burns’ headquarters like bees in a hive, and their presence cumbers the hotel lobbies, the sidewalks and the barrooms. It is a motley crew, but they have money and as long as they are willlng to spend it they are tolerated by needy legislators and the friends and well-wishers of some who are not needy, but greedy. Of the lot, there is not one who could influence a vote, except, perhaps, by the use of money. Bven this last contingency is extremely doubtful, for the legislator who can be bought prefers to do business with principals and nof with hired agents, who are so disreputable that they have not the confldence of their immediate asso- ciates. It is reported that the Grant ‘‘sack’ ar- rived in town to-day from the south. Ru- mor also has it that the string will be cut to-morrow or the next day, and from that time on wine will flow like water and the highest market price wil lbe paid for Senatorial votes. How much truth there is in these rumors does not appear, nor is it possible to explain how it hap- pened that they were started at the mo- ment of arrival from Los Angeles of W. H. Baker, who comes to lend ald and comfort to the Grant boomers. Baker enjoys the reputation of being one of the shrewdest politicians in the southern country, and it is certain that he is one of the select few who are charged with the conduct of Mr. Grant’s campaign. He arrives here at a critical moment, for prospective votes are scat- tered on account of the three days’ re- cess taken by the Legislature, d the time must be employed in arranging for the final struggle before the taking of the initial ballot for Senator. Tt is very evident that the Grant people have a well-marked plan of action in view. If, as seems certaln, they intend to attempt to influence the result by the use of money, either directly or indirect- Iy, the preparations that have been made could not have been better. Many of the men who are promoting the candidacy of Grant have been connected with almost every disreputable political job that has been perpetrated during the past ten years, and their knowledge of the most approved methods of salving a lacerated conscience with ready money is not to be to represent them in the United States Senate. The bigger scrub a man is the better are his chances of election now- adays, Burns' chances are good.”—HAR- VEY BOONE, ex-Chairman Mono Coun- ty Republican Central Committee. “Have a little respect for the people; if not for the people, then for the Republi- can party.

He I8 bet- alified to manipulate a racetrack job than to represent the people of this Stlz_lfe at Washington.”—DANIEL BOS- BOTH HOUSES MET ONLY TO ADJOURN CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 7.—Lieutenant Governor New looked down from his chair on empty seats this morning when he rap- ped for order in the Senate. Not a quorum of the solons was present and no business could have been done even if there had been any to do. He con- tented himself with calling for a session on Monday morning and announcing that by agreement no bilis would be intro- duced for consideration until Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, after the first bal- ot for United States Senator had been taken. The same hour has been fixed in the Assembly. Alden Anderson, Speaker pro tem., called the Assembly to order and the subsequent roll-call~ developed that a uorum was on_the floor, though, as in the case of the Senate, there was nothing for it to do but adjourn to Tuesday morning. Contrary to the prearranged plan, Speaker Wright did not announce the standing committees of the Assembly, nor will he until Tuesday, and when he does there will be numerous changes from the 1ists published In the papers of this morn- ing. The more important committees will remain as they are, though there is a powerful influence at work to force changes in some of them, particularly in the Committee on Public Buildings, upon which every one of the San Francisco delegation is and has been fighting to get a place. The changes to occur will be confined to the smaller and less important committees, and will not materially c;mnge the political aspect of any of them. Speaker Wright did not take the chair to-day, as he was scarcely fit to do busi- ness at all. The hard work and worry of the past two weeks have brought him to the verge of nervous prostration, and he left on the 2 o'clock train this afternoon for Berkeley for a couple of days of rest. When he returns he will be accompanied by Mrs. Wright, and th:f will, of course, attend the inaugural bail. The only talk that is doing here to-day among the few legislators who haven't denied. Some of the gentlemen who are promoting the candidacy of the San Diegan are wholly reputable and are above suspicion. The other class, composed of political tricksters and social outcasts, are to be accounted for only by the supposition that they are employed to do the dirty work that 1s evidently considered neces- Sary to Grant's success. ‘As might have been expected, since the announcement that Assemblyman Clough favored Burns came from the Examiner the gentleman enters denfal. ~ He is not for Dan, never has been and never will be. His first choice is Barnes, whose nomination he will second. If the devel- oping situation indicates the wisdom of electing a man from the south, he has not decided to whom his vote 'will go, but it will go to the available candidate of that section. There can be no exi- xengy which can win Clough to the Burns push. NO CAUCUS WILL BE HELM ON SENATOR CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 7.—There will be no caucus of Republican Assemblymen and Senators on the Senatorial questicn for the present. Not until after several ballots have been taken and the several candidates have made a showing of their strength will it be possible to secure the signatures neces- sary for the calling of a caucus. The touts and politicians who are hand- ling the Burns fight under the direction of the man from Mexico went abroad to- day and mingled with the Republican members of the Legislature for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether or mnot it would be feasible to hold a joint Sena- torial caucus on Monday evening or Tuesday morning. It took about two hours to ascertain that it would be im- ossible to hold any caucus prior to the fak!ng of the first ballot, and even after that it may be difficult to secure the sig- natures of every Republican member of the Senate and Assembly to a call. It is quite evident that Burns' mana- ers were desirous of forcing a caucus, gut when they found that it was impossi- ble they promptly dropped the idea and gave out the announcement that they were not in favor of anything of the kind. The managers of Senator Bulla's cam- paign absolutely declined to consider the roposition for a caucus for a moment. Bne of the prominent members of the Assembly, who is to the front in Bulla's fight, in talking about the caucus call this evening, said: “No sir; we refused to sign any call now and we do not Intend to at any time. There never will be any cau- cus action as far as the Republicans are concerned in this Senatorial fight. Even if one was secured I know of at least twenty members who would not be bound hg' its action. Under these circumstances of what value would a caucus action be? The proposition was made to us to con- sent to one being held, but we decilned absolutely to consider it for a moment.” James Brown, who is to the front in the management of the Grant campal;!n, when asked about the probability of a caucus this evening, safd: ‘‘There will never be any caucus. The Bulla peonle will never consent to it, and while Burns and his friends attempted to create the impression that they would be willing to have one held, as a matter of fact they do not." The truth of the matter is that a cau- cus at this juncture would not be produc- tive of any results that would tend to clear away the mist that at present sur- rounds the Senatorial battle. None of the leading candidates could possibly secure a vote in the caucus sufficlently decisive to Gverwhelm the opposition and to cause the Rcpublican members to accept tne caucus _action and follew it on the floor when the two houses meet in joint ses- sion to kallot. —_— BURNS HENCHMEN TRY TO MANUFACTURE BACKBONE CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 7.—Orders were sent out from the Burns headquarters to-day to various points throughout the State to all the Burns push to proceed at once to make an effort to create sentiment, or at least to make a showing, which would glve weak-kneed Assemblymen and Sena- tors who contemplated voting for Mexican Dan on Tuesday ground to stand on. These Instructions to the Burns push in the interior were to have telegrams sent from as many Assembly and Senatorial districts throughout the State as they possibly can to Sacramento at once. They are to be addressed to the Assem- blymen and Senators, and are to be requests to vote for Burns for Senator. As many signatures as possible are to be obtained to be affixed to these dispatches. As to the character of the signers, no in- structions were %!\'em The Burns people apparently realize the fact that many of their supporters, after they have cast their ballots for the man from Mexico, are going to have brought down upon their heads a veritable thun- der storm from outraged constituent Knowln% this to be the case the wily col onel and his friends are doing all they can to protect them from the violence of the storm that Is now certain to come. Colonel Burns has already selected the Senator and Assemblyman who will place him in nomination in the two houses. He Is not yet prepared to announce their names, but will do so on Monday. The name of the Senator who will place the colonel’s name. before the upper branch of the Legls ure when it is made public will greatly surprise the public, for he is now believed to be a stanch supporter of Grant. Senator Bulla had the busiest day of any Senatorial candidate. He was in his headquarters from ear morning until midnight, receiving visitors and reports from his workers. Edwin A. Meserve, chairman of the last Republican County Conventlon of Los Angeles County, and E. E. Crandall, 2 prominent business man, arrived from the south, and will be here to help Bulla until the fight is over. Mr. Meserve states that he comes to Sacra- mento to assist Senator Bulla, because under the instructions of the convention of which he was chairman he believes it his duty to do so. That convention, he claims, Instructed its legislative nominees unqualifiedly for Bulla, and there was no drawback to the resolutions. W. R. Bacon and James Meredith, two well-known Los Angeles Republicans, also arrived to-night, and are in the fight for Grant. Frank Miller of Riverside also came in to-night, and called at Senator Bulla's headquarters. Mr. Miller does not know exactly where he does stand on the Sena- torfal question, but he is inclined to favor Bulla. LOS ANGELENOS NOT PLEASED WITH GAGE CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 7.—The Los Angeles people who are here, and as to numbers they are not small, are by no means favorably impressed with the attitude Governor Gage has placed himself in in the Sena- torlal fight. The friends of Senator Bulla do not talk much, for the Governor has condescend- ed to state that he will not do anything to injure Bulla's candidacy. For this manifestation of kindly spirit toward Bul- la the friends of that gentleman are thankful. They remember that for about thirty days and thirty nights they put in thelr time persuading the voters of Los Angeles County to vote for “‘our Henry" for Governor, and now ‘“‘our Henry” has given them a strong manifestation of his gratitude by consenting to permit Bulla to remain in the fleld as a candidate and turning over to Colonel Daniel M. Burns for his personal use the ‘\uwl'r and infl ence and patronage of the State admin- i{stration with which to make his fight for the Senatorship. Of course, the Bulla men are not out in the open making any vigorou atements about the Governor’s ingratitude, but they are doing a lot of thinking. He tells them that he is not assisting Colonel Burns in his fight, and the nothing to him In reply. But at the same time, the Bulla men wonder whether or not Governor Gage, great man that he is, gives them credit for the poss ordinary common-sense. If he does, then they wonder why he attempts to deceive them with the silly misstatement that he is doing nothing to aid the Senatorial can- didacy of Colonel Burns. There is one Los Angeles man who is very bold and outspoken in his opinion of Governor Gage and the declaration made by the Governor that he would take the act of any member of the Legislature in voting for Grant as a personal affront to him. That man is T. E. Gibbon, vice president of the Terminal Railway. Mr. Gibbon stated at the Golden Eagle to-day that he had discussed the matter with a number of the members of the Legisla- ture and that they were all highly indig- nant at the dictatorial attitude the execu- tive had assumed toward the legislative branch of the State government. Mr. Gibbon stated that several members had informed him that if the Governor con- tinued in his course and attempted to interfere with the legislative arm as he had in the past they were in favor of in- stituting proceedings for impeachment. Mr. Gibbon stated that in his opinion such action would be justifiable if Gage felt it incumbent upon himself to go much further. This statement Mr. Gibbon made in the cafe of the Golden Eagle In the presence of several of the Governor's friends, and for a time it created a very warm dis- cussion. . GENERAL BARNES IS AGAIN AT THE CAPITAL CALL. HEADQUARTERS,' SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 7.—General W. H. L. Barnes, accompanied by Theodore Reich- ert and A. G. Booth, his lleutenants, ar- rived In Sacramento to-night prepared to again take up the battle for Senatorial honors. The trio repaired immediately to their headuarters in the Golden Eagle and were welcomed by the general's followers. The general's quick return caused great surprise around the hotel, as it was understood that when he left Friday night he would not return until Monday. The fact that his opponents had not left the battle-ground may have had some ef- fect in bnnglng him back so quickly. Dr. C. C. O'Donnell also arrived on the same train and registered at the Golden Eagle. Theldoctor sajd he intended re- maining here until Tuesday next and would attend the sessions of the Legisla- ture. He says, however, that the object of his visit is ‘‘professional business.” SAN DIEGO REPUBLICANS INDIGNANT AT TREACHERY SAN DIEGO, Jan. 7.—The feeling among Republicans in San Diego is at white heat against Henry T. Gage for his so- called treachery and baseness in attack- ing U. S. Grant. There are Republicans here who deliberately accuse Gage and Burns of a conspiracy dated since last October, when Burns visited Los Angeles. This feeling culminated in the circulation of the following statement to-day: “We, Republicans of San Diego County, who took an active part in the last cam- paign, deny the alleged statement of Governor Gagé to the effect that he was traded or knifed. Good, honst hard work was done for Gage, and his vote here, considered with other State candi- dates, challenges comparison with that received in Los Angeles, his own home, ‘where his plurality was far less than that of six State candidates, as well as that of Congressman, and where the plurality of Reeves for State Treasurer, the other State candidate from Southern Califor- nia, was almost double that of Gage. “Grant’s efforts here, in our judgment, gave Gage a majority which otherwise he would mnot have received, and we, as Republicans, deplore the alleged state- ment of our Governor, which, if made by him, is an unjust reflection not alone upon the political ~ integrity of Mr. Grant, but is an insult to the Republican party of this county.” This statement is signed by Major D. C. Reed, every Republican county officer, which Includes all but one in the county, city officials, members of the Republican county campaign committee and the prominent Republicans. There was also some talk of holding an indignation meet- ing to repudiate Governor Gage's utter- ances regarding Grant, but public feeling ‘was g0 intense that it was feared too rad- ical action would be taken. The county campaign committee adopted vigorous resolutions, which have been wired to Governor Gage and the press. FREE TICKETS TO THE BALL AT A MINIMUM CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 7.—If the members of the Governor's staff desire to attend the in- augural ball it will be necessary for them to pay for their tickets. They will re- ceive no complimentarie This evening, for the third time, an at- tempt was made to prevail upon the exec utive committee having in charge the ar- rangements for the inaugural ball to issue to them complimentary tickets, but for the third time the committee declined to do so. General W. T. Sheehan, who is a member of the executive committee, when the matter come up at the meeting to-night, vigorously opposed the proposi- tion. He stated that not for twenty years past at any inaugural ball had the mem- bers of the Governor's staff received free tickets. If the committee gave them this time it would be breaking down an es- tablished precedent. He contended that if the members of the Governor's staff were invited, the members of the staffs of the various major generals and briga- dier generals of the National Guard should also be extended a similar cour- tes ‘Without further debate the committee declined to accept the suggestion that the Governor' aff be invited and given com- pimentary tickets. x The meeting of the executive®ommittee of the ball committee to-night was a stormy one. The whole trouble arose over the matter of free tickets. As s usual on occasions of the kind, there are a number of people who seem to think that the courtesy of a free ticket should be extended to them, and they sent their requests in to the invitation and reception committee. Every elected State officlal is to receive a free ticket, and the recep- tion committee had arranged to give a number of tickets to employes and depu- ties in the State House. To this latter proposition vigorous ob- jection was made by members of the ex- ecutive committee. They argued that the deputies in the offices in the State House were amply able to pay for their tickets, and there existed no reason why compli- mentaries should be given to them. Finally the executive committee took up the report of the reception committee on complimentary tickets and considered each recommendation as to an allowance of free tickets se The Governor's office was allowed four free tickets. The Secretary of State's office was given five tickets and two passes. The Treasurer's office was given one ticket and three passes. The State Librarian was given one ticket and four passes. Passes and tickets for the Attorney General, State Controller, State Printer and Superin- tendent of Public Instructign were strick- en out altogether. Then allowances were made as follo Speaker of Assembly, two tickets; Si yor General, one ticket; Adjutant General, one ticket; Senator Simpson, two tickets; Chief Clerk of As- sembly, C: arms of each house and their clerks, each one ticket. The usual allowance of em- ployes’ tickets was made. The question came up of presenting a complimentary ticket to Major Frank Mec- Laughlin. _The committee voted not to allow it. Secretary Lindley of the recep- tion committee stated that, acting under instructions of the reception committee, he had already glven the major his ticket. This placed the committee in a rather embarrassing position. The major al- ready had his ticket and it had been vot- ed not to give him one. A motion was made that an invitation be sent to Seth Mann, chalr- %‘fnag‘*&te Democratic State Central Committee. The motion prevailed and in this way a compromise was made and the action of the reception committee in extending the courtesy to Major Me- hlin was approved. L e ral ball committee count on 5 le being in attendance at _the o PAoPe gt of the affair will be about $506. Already 215 tickets have been sold of ‘Sacramento ux}d seventy- five at outside points. s Is a large sale of tickets than has ever been kKnown on any previous occasion. At the last inaugural ball but 215 tickets all told were sold. Thus far seventy-five acceptances of invitations to serve on the reception com- mittee have been received from outside this city and twenty-five within the city. This makes up the reception committes of 100. i TALE OF A SENSATIONAL ROBBING EPISODE CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 7.—The house at 611 K street, which is sunposed to be the place where any money that may be used in promoting the Senatorial candidacy of U. S. Grant Is paid out to needy legislators, figures in a sensational story that is be- ing generally circulated here to-day. It is asserted that late last night two men, heavily masked. forced an entrance to the secret apartments supgnsed to be occupled by the dispenser of bribe money, and forced the occupant to surrender an amount of money flxed by rumor at $1100, as well as certain papers that are sup- osed to have a direct and criminal bear- ng on matters that vitally affect certain legislators and the men with whom they have had illicit dealings. Inquiry made at Grant's headquarters in the Golden Eagle Hotel developed the fact that Mr. Grant and his agents were aware of the existence of the tale of rob- bery, but they denied any positive knowl- edge of the facts. They also disclaimed any knowledge of any illicit use to which the house at No. 611 was being put. in the city The landlady of the house in question also denied that she was aware that any robbe had been perpetrated in her house, though she was aware that a story was_being told to that effect. The Chief of Police had not been informed of any robbery, nor has he been requested to assist in the recovery of any lost or sto- len papers. If any robbery was com- mitted the robbers may be depended upon not to tell, and it is equally certain that if the facts are as they are pictured, the person_or persons who were robbed will Beep their ‘'own counsel for reasons that are obvious. MURDER OF A NIGHT TELEGRAPH OPERATOR Slain at a Railroad Station by Rob- bers After a Desperate Struggle. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7.—H. Wur- ster, the night operator for the Phila- delphia and Reading at Bingen, a small town near Bethlehem, was murdered at an early hour this morning by robbers. ‘When the local freight reached Bingen at 3 o’clock the conductor looked in at| the window of the telegraph office.| Leaning against the wall, sitting up- right in his accustomed place, with his feet on the desk, was the body of Wur- ster. His head had been crushed and there were apparently two bullet holes in the side of his head. The body was vet warm, indicating that he had been murdered but a short time after having reported his last train at 12:45 a. m. The office floor was covered with blood, indicating that there had been a terri- ble struggle. All the drawers had been rifled and the lifeless form had been placed in the chair after the murder. There was no clew to the murderers. Wurster was 27 years of age and married. - . Tom Hall’s Wife Divorced.
