LEGISTATORS OPEN IN DENONCIATION OF SECRET CAUCUS Burns and His Railroad Backer Can’t Win by : Underhand Methods. VIGOROUS ~ EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION Unmasking of the Southern Pacific Has Had the Effect of Making the Anti-Mexican Members Firmer Than ' Ever in Their Determination fo Stand CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—D. M. Burns believes that if he gets a caucus he can ceed by methods peculiar to himself and his political backer, the Southern Pacific Company, in securing for him- self the caucus nomination for United State Serator. But there will be no caucus.. The cor- poration ‘owned and * controlled . by Huntington Las shown its hand, and as result there {s an expressed deter- mination on the part of the majority of the legisiators, outside of the little handful of Burns followers, not to go into caucus now or at any. other time. This determination is based on a belief that the people of the State will be v 1, and that the legislator: be doing their full duty to them and their constituents . if they take such action as will prevent the election of Burns. Here are a few of the many expres- sions of opinion concerning the mat- t AS MBYMAN A. 8.

"H.: VALE TINE—I am opposed to any kind of a caucus and I will never become.a party to one.

BL’LLA—! From the first I have been against this | caucus proposition and I am strongly opposed to it to-day as on the first day it was broached. We have fought this battle out to its present status and I| say let us fight it out to the end and in the same manner. Under the pecu- | liar existing eonditions, I do not think | a caucus either the proper solution or an advisable move from a standpoint of good politics. I am unalterably op-| posed to it, but mark me, I do not| speak for my supporters. They have | stood by me bravely and thus far I know have been as much opposed to a caucus as I have myself, but their present feeling I do not know nor will | I seek to discover. I want them free and untrammeled by any expressed wish of mine, I do not care to nor will I, seek to know the position they will take with regard to th latest proposition. This is an expression of my own feeling and opinion and I do | not wish to have them influenced by it. F. S. STRATTON—Un- der the present condition of affairs and the situation of the various candidates not go into caucus. r-consent to go into a caucus, open. If there is a demand secret & that this deadlock be broken I am will- ing to abide by the decision of a ma- jority of the members of the Republi- can party in the State. Let a Republi- can primiary be called in every county in the State, and let the names of can- didates now before the Legisla e be submitted to the people, T will abide by the decision of the people. If the Republican party demands the break- ing of the deadlock let the party ex- press its preference from among the Senatorial candidates. As for a cau- cus, T will never consent to go into one and run the risk of being forced by it | to cast my vote in joint assembly. for | a man who is not wanted by me or by ! my constituents or a majority of the | people of the State. I will not go into | a caucus. i SENATOR C. C. SMITH—As long flfl‘ conditions remain as. they are I will | never go into a caucus. I am opposged to the proposition so long as certain | candidates are in the field, and will | continue in opposition to it as long as | they remain candidates. ¥ { ASSEMBLYMAN G. f:r CLOUGH—T | Wil not | ble committee, made up. of men from ATOR.

Green, poli- | tical manager of the-Senatorial candidacy of U. S. Grant, left Sacramento for Oak- | land this morning, accompanied by his | physician, Dr. Hatch. He is still a very man, but he was anxious to visit his | family, on acount of the delicate condition of his wife, and it was thought advisable to allow him to do so rather than run the risk -of further injury to his health by reason of constant warrying over tne con dition of Mrs. Green’s heaith. | Green's friends say “that he will return | to Sacramento on ¥Friday in order to ap- pear before the Assembly and answer to the charge of contempt for refusing to answer questions put to him by the in- vestigating committee concerning the | manner in which he spent Grant's money | to promote the election of certain mem- bers of the prekent Legislature. While this statement is apparently made in good faith, there are many heére who believe | that Green will not be seen here again during the session. He is pronounced by his physician to be a very sick man, and it & prabable that it will be found neces. | sary to send him to some heaith resort in order to secure a permanent cure. | e Administrator Bills Killed.

Scott arrived from San Francisco to-night. After he had talked over the situation with several members of the Legislature he expressed inion that the scheme for-a caucus fail. General Barnes does not care to express an opinion on the subject of a caucus. He appreciates the fact that his supporters came to his support of their own accerd, and therefore feels that he cannot sug- gest to them what course they should pursue. He is niot informed of any change of sentiment in his.camp in favor of a caucus. - For Silk Culture. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—McDonald .of ‘Alameda offered-in the Assembly -this morning a bill carrying an appropriation of $1370' 71 to pay the claim of Louise Rienzi for services rendered as instructress and ex- ert in the State Board of Silk Culture; | he ‘services mentioned were reéndered | from 1885 to 1887.

According to the in- formation an assassin was employed for that purpose and dispatched to Japan. . The assassin was in the employ of the Chinese Government. The report reached Japan and caused a great sensation. The Emperor’s palace is strongly guarded and all strangers are placed under surveil- lance. . A number of arrests of suspects have been made. ‘While the Peking Government strenuously denies all knowledge of the affair, yet according to the newspapers it is intimated that some of- ficials holding high places of trust in the government are responsible for the plot, which had its origin shortly after the close of the China- Japan war. Knowledge of the attempt on the life of the Japanese Em- peror has been in possession of both. governments for some time, but was kept secret until January 25, when it leaked out through diplomatic correspondence. Strict censorship has been placed over the press.
