The Contest for Porter Ashe’s Seat in the Senate to Be Transferred Shortly to the State Capitol. The Dennery-Ashe election contest In- volving the right of Porter Ashe to & seat in the State Senate is running its course rapidly before Justices Kerrigan and Three witnesses were ex- 1f of Mr. Ashe, the testimony amined vesterday on bet ard it 1s expected that will be in to-day. The witnesses yester- day were Sylvester M. Sullivan, Gaston Ashe and Charles W. Freese, a personal friend of the Ashe boys They repeated the stories as to the conduct of Dennery’'s followers through- out election day—of the prizefighters and negroes who went about Intimidating voters and of, the passive stand taken by the police. Gaston Ashe told of Sergeant Shea belng within fifteen feet of one man who was knocked down and declining to make an arrest on the plea that he did not see the assault. He also declined to remove a man who was creating a d turbance in a booth and who was working for Dennery. He testified to having met Bergeant Martin just after Porter Ashe had spoken harshly of the police at a meeting in Met- Martin complained that Ashe had given him an unmerited roast. The latter retorted that Martin was seen in Dennery’s company the previous night. Martin acknowledged he had treated Den nery to a glass of beer and volunteered,to buy wine for Ashe. The offer was de- clined. According to Gaston Ashe a de: sperate crowd gathered in the booth at bacific and Taylor streets. They were not resi- dents of the neighborhood. They = were continually asking the taily' clerk why he did not put down more votes for Den- nery. This he could not do, owing to the watchfulness of Gaston' Ashe. The . lat- ter, who was a champion boxer, and is big and rugged, testified that he did not fear arm, but he took the precaution to keep a table between himself and the roughs, so that he could have plenty of elbow toom. He did not talk back or re- sent anything that was said to him, as he thought “they. might wipe up thé floor with me, and I wanted to remain and protect my brother’s interests.” The witness said they did not make a saloon fight. He naively said that any workers who wanted money were sent to the other candidate’s camp.

Soon | after he came ashore from the Gaelic he was taken to the Pali to see one of the most striking pieces of nature’s | handiwork and the no less striking con- quest of man over nature's difficulties, the Pali road. He was entertained at luncheon by Special Agent and Mrs. | Sewall at the American legation. There ;was an impromptu public reception at | the Young Men’s Christian Association rooms and later at the Officers’ Club |and, a popular demonstration at the wharf. Hundreds gathered at the whart to | see the naval hero. 'He arrived there in company with Mr. Sewall not ten | minutes before the steamer sailed.

The officers f the Mariposa do not be- lieve the cablegram from Sydney, N. 8. | W., which says that Mataafa has been | elected King of Samoa. | “The steamer Janiuni, which carried the | news to New Zealand, left Apla the day | before we did,” said Captatn Hayward | “On her way to Auckland she reach New Zealand the time the cable- gram was sent.

Consideration of 1901 Celebration Postponed Until Saturday, When Definite Plans Will Be Adopted. { \ | | | At a special meeting of the Board of Su- ervisors held last night to consider the proposition of holding an exposition in this city in 1901, it was the unanimous sentiment of the members that the pro- ject was In every way worthy of their support. The committee of fifteen ap- pointed by Mayor Phelan to take the af- fair in hand was present, and through Charles Bundschu, Richard P. Doolan, A. S. Baldwin, President A. A. Watkins of the Board of Trade, S. H. Friedlander nd General Warfield, as spokesmen, quested the board to pass resolutions ask ing the Legislature for the power to ap- propriate $1,000,000 for exposition purposes, the committee then to request the Legis- lature for a special State appropriation o $250,000, and a further national Congres slonal appropriation of $500,000. A letter was read from J. B. Reinstein, chairman of the committee, in which he made a strong plea for the moral and physical support of the Supervisors. While the latter were inclined to lend their aid they were in doubt as to what plan would be the more feasible, a tax levy covering | a period of three vears or an issue of | bonds for the required amount. In either | case it would be necessarry to have an enabling act passed by the Legislature giving them authority in the premises. On motion of Supervisor Perrault the rooms of the b were placed at the | disposal of the mmittee on plans for | the exposition, which will meet on Sat- | urday at 3 p. m., when the matter will be | further discussed and a definite plan of ction decided on. It was stated that a subcommittee - of three, consisting of W. H. Mills, Charles Bundschu and A. A. Watkins, had com- | municated with the various commercial, industrial, banking and other organiza- tions of this city, rmuesunf each of them to appoint a committee of three, which will be added to the original committee of fitteen, and will raise the number of tne latter to 150 members. This general com- mittee will meet the Mayor, Auditor and the Board of Supervisors on Saturday, when the best plan to insure the success of the exposition will be adopted. . e Cut by an Angered Husband.
