CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-| | MENTO, Jan. 10—U. S. Grant Jr. cer-| | tainly did not seem to be at all depressed | | to-night because he received only twenty- SIX votes In the balloting to-day. He was at his headquarters all the afternoon and evening, and had the glad hand and a| cheerful smile to offer to all visitors. Mr. | Grant s not noted for extending elther’ unless there is some good and sufficient | reason for it. He was like all the rest of | the candidates as far as professions go, | for he insisted that he was more than s(z)xlusfled with the result of the first bal- | ght than ! “I feel more confident t | ever. That is all I care to say.” And then | Mr. Grant turned to one of his visitors to | renew a story he was telling. | Mr. Grant's managers do | not like to | have him talk, and he does but very little of it. But very ready to talk themselves are not at all slow | about making e , either. One thing s evident, and that is that the Grant men did not get the vote they expected to- They may be fled with the twenty-six votes they did poll, but they | thought they would have fi or six more. In several instances they receive at is known in slang parlance as a bad “‘throw down.” Take, for instance, Assemblyman Grant tha all Beecher of Shasta County. The men have been counting on him from very start and have included him in their figuring as one of their porters. They claim th edly visited their h b vote surprise | called in ir t mbly and he promptly cast his vote for Burns.

And then the colonel majestically waved the reporter away and entered Into con- ference with his close friend, Leon Den- n em nity to permit ery. Major McLaughlin, however, was in a better humor than Colonel Burns. He was not at all loath to talk and seemed to be in a happy mood. “The te Colonel Burns got to-day,” aid Major McLaughlin, * fully up fo | what we had expected for the first bailot, ‘We will gain from now on. I think that to-morrow there will be seventeen votes added to the twenty-four onel Burns | polled to-day. Grant has almost reached | the end. There may be a few additions | to his vote to-morrow.

They had another | | card up their sleeve, or rather a gold | brick, which they were holding back as | the last inducement. THey offered the brick yesterday, but it did not induce, and Radcliffe to-day got even by seconding the nomination of Grant. The Burns faction discovered that Rad- cliffe had put in something like seventeen years of his life over a printing press and that he was looking as hard as he might for the chairmanship of the Print- ing Committee. They also learned that | there were half a dozen in the Assembly | who wanted the committee as well as Radclme,hanél lshey decided to play him against the field. e was approached at the Golden Eagle office yesterday morning by a rep- Tesentative from the colonel's headquar- ters, and it was stated to him that | Speaker Wright would stand in to give Radcliffe the chairmanship if he would throw his vx(o to Burns and come out | in public and make one of those clarion | speeches for which the Santa Cruzan is | famous. At the same time he was threatened | with relegation to some minor committee | in case he declined the offer. Radcliffe | did decline, and as indignantly and with | as much force as he did the proposition | made him by McLaughlin on a previous knew Speaker Wright's affillations too | ment of B. W.

He was threat- | olution, which was referred to the Com- ened with the usual political bastinado | mittee on Federal Relations: | | { until this morning gave no more consid- | eration to printing committee or Burns' threats. This morning, _however, Wright read over his new committees | that the Senate of the United States shall | propert; Speaker | be com; and Radcliffe found that he had been cut | off the Printing Committee and made Mmercly a tnit on those of Fruit and Irri- | el S with | ject to severe public criticism and divided ation, and until he had talked peaker Wright was almost inclined to believe that Burns, after all, position to make good his boast. Although he was much disappointed he | readily accepted Wright's explanation and the matter was ended. Speaker Wright denies, though his affiliations are so well known that it is hardly necessary, that Burns or any one else was authorized by him to either make or unmake a chair- man, and he says that the latest attempt at vote-buying had nothing at the end of it more than a poorly gilded brick. THE LINE-UP _ AFTER THE VOTE WAS CAST CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 10.—Immediately after the adjournment of the Legislature the Sena- torial aspirants and thelr confidential ad- visers studled the rollcall of each House with the deepest interest. The Grant men manifested gladness. The Burns touts, despite assertions to the contrary, were depressed, but Dan did come up smiling and to outward appearances serenely con- fident. There was a rally of the touts after dinner and the rallying whispers were in the air until m!dnigilL Hustling work was done to line up the Burns men in the open. The parlors of the Golden Eagle were speclally engaged to-nl%hl to receive the touts and their friends. The colonel was there and held conferences aside with Judge Dibble, Chief Clerk Kyle, ex-Senator Brown of 21 Dorado, Geor £ A Knight and many others. In the Burns camp there were boastings that Milt Green ?lad made a bluff to Dan for a caucus and that the Mexican called him. Unkind and ungra- S| concerning iue politicfans surrounding It was said Grant got twenty-six exchange for a year's work and enditure of $100,000. Inquiry from other sources concerning the exact amount expended by the agents of Grant to corrupt the Legisiature places the amount at much less than $100,000. An old-timer who has managed affairs of this kind explained to-night that Grant's agent had not put out more than $30,000. The facts in the case may not be developed until witnesses are brought before a com- mittee on investigation. e, was In a | i | | { i | There is talk to-night that eight acces- | sions to the Burns strength will be dis- ved to-morrow on the first ballot ig ssembly. Close inside inquiry to tain where Burns’ future increase Is ) come from elicits some remarkable pre- tions. For example, Assemblyman | Raw is depended on to vote for Burns needs him most. aker Wright go when a?' was a question pro- talwart Burns man in th, He is counted for Burns, semblyman. The idea oOf vard Wright betraying the people of Alameda County, who reposed so much confidence in his judgment and Integrity, seems preposterous, but yet the touts claim him as an element of reserved strength. Where will Owen Wade of Napa go Estee?’ was another ed for Burns,” was the It was explained that ce would swing Wade into the Dan. The topic was broached to Assemblyman Wade, who at once remarked: ‘““they would bury me out of sight in Napa County if I voted for Dan Burns.” Mr. Wade, judging the people of Napa County from a knowledge of their devo- tion to the State, holds that they will not forgive or forget betrayal. The Santa Clara people, however, are said to be extremely tolerant. They for- d forget b yal in a little while, th subsides and the next batch lators from that county can mis- ent the people of Santa Clara with tmpunity. The audacity with which the touts of Burns claim every member who s not absolutely committed to the support o. Grant leads the inexperienced to believe that Burns has a good chance of winning out. The truth is that several of the men claimed for Burns intend to vote for Gen- eral Barmes in accordance with the ex- pressed wishes of the leading men of:their respective constituencies. Burns {s trying to flirt with George Knight and capture the Humboldt dele- ation, but the cold fact comes out that {night cannot transfer his strength. From a Humboldt point of view George is the ideal statesman, anu Burns could never fill his place in the minds of the men from the north. If Knight can en- dow Burns with his magnificent clarion voice and silver-lined lungs Humboldt might waver, but s such endowment cannot be made Gillette and Boynton will not be transferred to any one less gifted in oratory than the ideal orator of the northern redwoods. Senator Feeney, a San Francisco Demo- crat, who deserted his party associates and declined to cast his vote for Stephen M. White, got a tip from Sam Rainey | and voted to-day for John Rosenfeld. The dodge is transparent. Rainey has agreed to deliver to Burns the votes of two atic Senators. One is Feeney and the er is Hall. two Democrats shall swing into line vith the touts when the signal comes from Mexico. Thomas H. Williams Jr., pesident of the California Jockey Club, has a most diffi- cult task in hand. He expects to deliver to Dan Burns the vote o Muenter of San Joaquin County. How Mr. Williams proposes to effect the de- livery of the goods is not made clear. Mr. Muenter understands the temper and in- telligence of his constituents. He knows th ntiments of his friends and neigh- bors regarding the candidacy of the Mex- ican, and being a _man of character and integrity will not be easily swerved from the path of honor and principle. Dan ought not to assign any further duty to Mr. Willlams, for the latter has laid out more work for himself than ought to be committed to any man or set of men. General Barnes is delighted with the aspect of affairs. There was, it is admit- ted, a shade of disappolntment in his headquarters when the news_ came that Assemblyman Arnerich and Keisey and rortridge had joined the Burns column, The general is confident that the ballot- ing to-morrow will increase his strength. oc | Ultimately Wade of Napa, Muenter and Dunlap of San Joaquin, Wright of Ala- meda and Raw of El Dorado may join the Barnes column. When the break- away from the leaders comes General Barnes may obtain remarkable acces- | slons. _———— ROUTINE WORK IN THE LEGISLATURE More Than One Hundred and Fifty Bills Presented for Consideration. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 10.—Aside from the vote for United States Senator the most im- portant feature of the Senate proceedings to-day was the introduction of 124 bills and three constitutional amendments. Braunhart, Cutter, Dickinson and Strat- ton still had some more measures up their sleeves when BSecretary Brandon appealed to the president, saying that he and his assistants then had enough work before them to keep them busy every minute until to-morrow morning. All sorts of bills were introduced. Pro- posed primary laws were as plentiful as blackberries; amendments to the codes, political, eivil and criminal, were so nu- merous that it seems as though the easi- est way out of the tangle would be to draft a complete new set. Bills for har- bor improvements, reclamation of over- flowed lands, affecting county, town and city government; appropriations for al- most every conceivable purpose and no- body knows what all, And the members have only just com- menced. Other days are coming for the introduction of more bills, all the Sena- tors are well “heeled,” and when the list is complete it will require a continuous session of a year to act upon them all. ‘When the Senate met this morning Paul Gregg was_elected committee clerk and James V, Trice bill clerk.

Finally, after much wrangling, Langford secured the adopntion of a resolution sus- ending the rules for the day and pro- for ;the calling of the roll, each or to be allowed the privilege of in- troducing one measure on each rollcall. | Ashe had the honor of introducing the | { i | em- | ‘Assemblyman | Assembly | ‘ first Senate bill of the sesslon.

The resolution recommended that the charter become the law of the municipality according to its provisions, and without debate it was consigned to | the Committee on Municipal Corporations. | The introduction of bills was the only | business transacted by the Assembly dur- | ing the morning. The excitement natur- ally preceding the first ballot for United States Senator was noticeable from the time the first half dozen members wan- dered in and gathered to talk it all ove and until long after the time set for the opening of the session the Senatorial bee buzzed merrily anl not much else was thought or ;talked of. Speaker Wright called for order at half past 10, and after rolicall and the prayer of the chaplain called upon Valentine of Los Angeles to temporarily relieve him of his duties that he ht have time to finish his list of committees. He an- nounced them later with few changes from the list he gave to the public through the press last week. By prear- | rangement the introduction of bills had | been set for 2 o'clock in the afternoon, following the Senatorial vote, but bills came on In the regular order, and in a | little over twenty minutes fifty-two of them had been filed for their first reading. The bargain provides that | Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento got in | With twelve, the first twelve recorded. | Mr. Johnson had the honor of presen ing Assembly bill No. 1 the other day when he_ introduced the measure appro- | riating $50,000 for the needs of the State Printing Office. To-day he introduced bills 2 to 13. Cobb of San Francisco got in on the file with the charter resolution, so that if it be not| delayed in_committee it will not have to wait long before it meets any opposition that may be in store for it. Rickard of San Francisco had a long list, and Devoto of the same town sent in his’ quota. Ope of the bills introduced by Johnson is framed with the intention of assuring to the city of Sacramento water that at certain seasons may be drinkable. It appropriates $15,000 for the building of a | sewerage system at the State Prison at | | | | | of the bills directed at the { Folsom that will drain off the filth and | sewage that at present finds its way Into the waters of the American River and | eventually to the homes of Sacramentans | with all its accompanying filth and dis- ease-breeding germs. All plans, specifi- catfons and proposals are subject to the | scrutiny and decision of the State Board of Prison Directors, as are also the ex- | penditures, and the law is so carefully | written that if it shall pass the greatest | nuisance and menace that Sacramento is | uuxb}]lect to will probably be done away | with. - | The oft-recurring bill to buy a residence | in this city for the Governor has again | made its appearance and without change | in its verbal garb. It was referred to the | Committee on Public Buildings. A Dbill was also introduced providing for the payment of commissions to the State's agents, who since 1872 have been trying to collect from the Government money advanced by the State in the outfitting of volunteers on Government duty durin, the late war. It is particularly intende to remunerate Thomas Nossler and A. J. | Shanklin of Oakland, who have ‘for years, and at thelr own expense, been laboring to recover to the State the funds that belong to it. The bill passed the last Leg!sfature by a generous vote, but failed to get Governor Budd's signature. This year, however, Governor Gage especially recommended the measure in his initial message and it will probably receive bet- ter treatment. Still another bill was in- troduced creating a fund for exempt fire- men, and another amending the law pro- viding penalties and punishment for cruelty to animals; the dredging of Alviso slough came up in another, and the first | resent elec- referred to tion laws was Introduced an its regular committee. The hour of noon and beginning of the Senatorial fight put & stop to further business until 2 o'clock, when more bills were offered. Valentine of Los Angeles, however, kicked at more work without lunch, and upon motion of Dibble ad- journment was taken to 10 o'clock this morning. WILL STOP THE SALE OF PARK PROPERTY CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 10.—The last Legislature authorized the State Agricultural Society to sell the Agricultural Park In this city, various reasons making a change of loca- tion desirable. Upon the authority thus | conferred the society applied to the Su- | perior Court of this county for the ap- pointment of a commissioner to sell the property, and as such commissioner the court appointed W. E. Gerber, cashier of the rnia State Bank, whe has adver- | PASTOR FERRAND or in sections. To-day E. A. Burr, a taxpayer of this city, served upon the attorney for the State Agricultural Society and Commis- sioner Gerber a notice that on January 20 he would apply to the Superfor Court | for an order to recall the order of sale heretofore made and to have the decree | modified so that if the Agricultural Park be sold the proceeds must be re- invested in the limits of the city of Sac- | mento. Burr claims that in 1860 the Legis- | lature authorized the levy of a special tax in Sacramento for the purchase of | agricultural grounds in the limits of this tised for the sale of the park as & whole l | city, and he contends that the money to be | | derived from the sale cannot lawfully be | else- | If he | used for the purchase of grounds where than thin the eity limits. is succesful in his application the pres- | ent Legislature may be called upon to authorize the society to locate outside the city, but within the county. -~ Hugh Craig a Candidate. Hugh Cralg, president of the San Fran- clsco Chamber of Commerce, has an- nounced that he is a candidate for United | States Senator from California. Mr. | Craig s he has decided to enter the contest at the solicitation of his friends | in commercial circles throughout the | State, and in view of the bitter rivalry | between Burns and Grant, which is likely | to prove fatal to the chances of both, he is confident of securing the honor. 5 COMING BACK Returns to Refute Scur- rilous Charges. Epecial Dispatch to The Call ; LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10.—Rev. Foun- tain R. Farrand, pastor of the Howard | Presbyterian Church of San Francisco, | who has been the guest of his brother | at Boyle Heights the past few days, | returned to San Francisco to-day. ‘ Rev. Mr. Farrand had intended to go | East from here, but the publication in San Francisco of a story concerning | the alleged cause of his sudden depar- | ture from San Francisco mnteri&uy" changed his plans. While in Los An- | geles Farrand was the guest of his| brother, Rev. Edward Farrand, pastor | of the Boyle Heights Presbyterian | Church. Edward Farrand is very in-| dignant at the report of his brother's misdeeds and declares there is no foundation whatever for the story. “I buried my wife last Wednesday.” he said: ‘My brother came down on account of her death, which occurred on the preceding Monday. My brother is in good standing with his people in San Francisco. They gave him a vaca- tion of three months because he wished to visit our mother in the East. The trustees had agreed to pay him while he was away. | “The story is highly libelous. My brother could not go East and leave such a stigma against his name.” A telegram ich arrived early this morning from Charles W. Pike, a trus- tee in the church, reads: “Think it advisable to continue your Eastern journey. Nothing published in this morning’s papers. Think the mat- ter has been dropped.” Pike is one of those mentioned by the Bulletin as having demanded the resig- | nation of the pastor of Howard Church. | | WILL MUSTER OUT i EIGHTH REGIMENT Secretary Alger Accedes to the| Wishes of a Majority of the Men. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—As already stated in The Call, Senator Perkins consulted with™ Secretary Alger last week regarding the mustering out of the Eighth California Regiment. It had | been asserted that the sentiment was | almost unanimous among officers and men for retention in the service and | Senator Perkins upon learning the War Department had determined to muster | out the regiment suggested that Secre- | tary Alger communicate with General | Merriam in order to learn the wishes | of the regiment. This was done and to-day Secretary Alger received the fol- | lowing dispatch from the commanding | general of the Department of Cali- fornia: “Investigation of the Eighth Cali- fornia shows 37 officers and 214 enlisted men desire to remain in the service, while § officers and 928 enlisted men prefer immedlate discharge.” In view of this statement the Secre- tary of War informed Senator Perkins to-day that he was not disposed to re- voke the order for the mustering out | of the regimen Metropolitan Temple should be crowded to-night to welcome Father Sheehy of Limerick, Ireland. . —_—————————— Ran at Half Speed.
