The offer a mor stitute is_another| matter. It is brit pure and simple and adds another outrag history of the scandal and blackzuard- | ism that Dan Burns has given to Cali- | fornia. | There was considerable talk to-day | Assembly should Institute a , demand the name of the that the rigid inquiry | of | fusal to join the forces of Dan Burns. | offer v | his expose than he has already done | Burns {ing Raub, assuming that vituperative DAL THE IRE HONEST MEN ub. man who attempted to bribe Assem- blyman Raub and punish the offender to the full extent of the law.

Heelers of Burns are in | unpleasant presence around the lobbies | and within the railings and all who talk | them ar ewed with disfavor. | aub was besieged by ell as by newspaper ) T all asking for the name of him who had attempted to bribe him in the interest of Dan Burns. To all Assemblyman Raub made the same re- iterated the statements he de at the caucus of Grant men and subsequently to The Call, but he positively declined to reveal the iden- tity of the man who approached him lanation of this attitude As yman Raub /s that he has the man for some time and does not wish to expose him, although the | attempt at bribery was bitterly and | emphatically resented. Raub says that | his only purpose in making the expose to his colleagues and to people of the State generally the dishonorable ‘methods that Burns is employing in his campaign. Members the Legislature have been black- intimidated and, as far as pos- ble, bribed. They have been offered place or coin, as in the instance of As- semblyman Raub, and when that failed they have been threatened with politi- cal oblivion as the penalty for their re- to show W Assemblyman Raub knows as well as others that Burns cannot win without a caucus and it is known. also that out- side influences upon which the Mexican is depending are determined that the caucus shall be held soon or not at all. This reason explains why such a daring s made to Raub, who has been Grant forces from the begin- x and gave no indication that he as wavering in his allegiance. Raub, however, will go no further in with th W unless he is forced to do so by the proper authorities. Representatives of content themselves with abus. abuse is legitimate denial. None of the Mexica touts are demanding, with any degree of emphasis, however, to have Raub name the man who sought to bribe him. The incident remains an- other scandalous episode in a disgrace- ful campaign fought by the Mexican to secure an honor that in his possession would become a reproach to the State and its people. ROUTINE WORK OF THE SENATE IS NOW DULL| CALL HEADQUARTERS, MENTO, Feb. —Under Senator Smith's | motion of yesterday the Senate has made | up another file of important measures | which will be taken up and hurried | through after the few bills remaining on | the special urgency file have been dis- posed of. | The Governor's message withdrawing certain appointments from the considera- | tion the Senate which had been re- ferred to the Committee on Executive Communications was reported back with the recommendation that it be approved. The report was adopted. The Governor notified the Senate that he had vetoed Senate bill 82, proyiding for the expending of $7500 in refitting the office of the State Treasurer. His reason for vetoing the measure was that there was no real reason for the appropriation and, besides, it was made payable out of this year's funds instead of those of 1300. Assemblyman White's bill in relation to the appraisement of the estate of de- ceased persons was passed. Dibble’s Assembly bill 2354, prohibiting the defacing or desecration of the flag and providing a punishment for any such defacement, was passed to third readin, Chynoweth's Assembly bill 399, amer 1n§ the act governing the organization and management of county fire insurance companies 80 as to enlarge its powers; | was killed by the smkxng out of the en- acting clause on motion o: Shortridge. i The Committee on Mileage and Attaches recommended that $142 50 be allowed for | the expenses of the junket to Highland | Asylum in San Bernardino County and $72'85 be allowed for the junket to Napa | Asylum. The allowances were passed. | Then Senator Luchsinger offered a res- | olution allowing five members of the Com- | mittee on Finance and five from the Com- mitteé on Prisons and Prison Bulldings to visit San Quentin Prison. There was | considerable opposition on the ground of uselessness and expense, but the resolu- | tion was finally adopted. i Senator Braunhaft's pooi-selling bill, which, like Banquo’s ghost, will not down, | came up again to-day. There was no con- | sideration of the original, because Braun- | hart had a substitute and this was intro- | duced and ordered to print Fendlng ac- tion. The substitute is practically Sena- | tor Dickinson’s bill to restrict pool-sell- ing, with some of the best features of the old’ bill added. The substitute prohibits | pool-selling on’ any contest except in the | frack. inclosure or fair grounds where the | contest is held. Also that any person who | ellows_or glves authority to any one to | make books or who votes for any ordi- - nance which allows such pool-selling shall | " be guilty of a felony | THE SENATE PASSES THE COYOTE BILL CALL HEADQVARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 24.—The redeeming feature | of the evening’s session of the Senate was | the consideration of Senator Laird’s bill | for the payment of the bounty on coyote | scalps, It was in fact the evening session | all by itseif, for there was but little else than scalp bounties treated of in the m'a-l | SACRA- | { | $3000 a year to $3500., The bill was referred | San Francisco Judges an tory that marked the flight of the evening hours, With the ears of the scavenger of the plains for a subject the Senators waxed eloguent over the obligation of the State to pay when it had contracted a debt, and t wa argued that the bounty was a legitimate debt and It should be settled to the tune of $287,000. Senator Smith spoke in favor of the bill and so did Shortridge and Bettman and Simpson and Curtin. Senator Morehouse objected to paying under the appropriation system provided for in the bill, and Senator Gil- lette backed him up. Bulla took the other side principally on the matter of pro- cedure, for the bill requires that each claimant shall prove his claim in court before he is pald. Senator Doty was outspoken enough to say he thought the bill was in_the inter- ests of speculators who had bought up the claims and hoped to realize on them. He pointed to that section of the bili which allowed the Attorney General to transfer the suits to Sacramento for trial for support of his theory that the poor man was not the myn being looked out for. Benator Dickinsbn spoke along the same lines. Senator Laird, who introduced the bill and was responsible for all the trouble, closed the debate on the line of “the State must pay )ts debts,” and then the bill went to a vote. The result was 19 to 12, and a call of the House was demanded and ordered. The necessary two votes were secured by the sergeant-at-arms, and then Morehouse changed his vote from no to aye. The ballot was an- nounced as being 22 to 11, and then More- house gave notice that to-morrow he would move for a reconsideration. WILD COURSE OF SENATE BILL 56 CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 24—Senate bill 56, intro- duced by Senator Curtin of Tuolumne | County, has run like a rolling stone through both houses of the Legislature, gathering moss in the way of amendments m its erratic courke. And It has not yet found rest. The bill, as originally submitted, in- creased the salary of the Judges of the Superior Court of Tuolumne County from to the Judiclary Committee, where an amendment was offered to add the Supe- rior ‘Jtdges of San Francisco County to those Increased, and providing a raise for them from $4000. to” $6000; but the amend- ment was lost. - The bill was reported ‘back to the Sen- ate as introduced, with the recommenda- tion that it pass. - On secend: .reading Stratton . moved to amend bx adding the increasing thefn to . _The amendment was car- ried and the bill went to the printer to have the amendment added. The amendment was printed and the bill came back for third reading, when Cutter moved to amend by striking out the in- creased pay for the San Francisco Judges and lenvlng them at their former $4000. This amendment was carried by a vote | reversing the former action of the Senate, And again the measure went to the print- 2 thie time to be pruned down. Again the bill came back for third read- | ing, and again there was an amendment | awaiting it. Stratton wanted to amend | by striking out the $4000 for the San Fran- | | than ciseo Judges and inserting $5200 instead, but the amendment was lost, and as orig- Inally introduced the bill was passed. Then the vagrant measure wandered over to the Assembly and at once began to aclgjux;ul‘uite more amendments. T was amended by the insertion of $5000 for San Francisco Judges, and to them were added Siskiyou from $3500 to $4000, Shasta from $3000 to $2500 and Con- tra Costa with another raise, but Contra Costa was taken out again. In this shape glgrehlfl ;s):issedl (dheb A's{sembly and once raggled back to its o home, the Senate. -flmnal But the Senate would not stand for the amendments the Assembly had tacked on. Senator Laird, who had voted against the San Francisco raise, said Shasta and Siskiyou did not ‘want a raise, and he be- lieved they had been put in there so he Would vote for the amended bill. He voted no’’ anyway. All the Assembly amend- ments were voted down, and now ‘a con- ference committee, composed of Senators Cutter, Davis and Sims, has been ap- pointed to confer with a similar commit- (()iej;!;%n;‘ the A!rslen;‘hly in order to settle st how much the al v oV bikl]r'll}} ] already overworked this explains why the session of the [fi:!fl;!l‘a(ura s expected to last well into SHALL TEE PEOPLE YOTE FOR SENATOR ? CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 24.—The resolution by Cam- inetti of Amador asking that the States of the Unlon be memorialized to ask Con- gress for a constitutional amendment that will permit the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the peo- ple was this morning the subject of as Interesting a debate as has been heard in the Assembly during this present session. In defense of the resolution were lined up Caminetti, Mead and Valentine of Los Angeles. Opposed to It were Grove L. Johnson, Judge Dibble of San Francisco, Belshaw of Contra Costa and Melick of Los Angeles. Mr. Caminetti explained the course of procedure that would be followed should his resolution be adopted. He said it was the law of the land that if two-thirds of the States should call upon Congress for such enactment as he proposed Congress would be obliged to gake action. When the required number of States call upon Congress it ceases:to be an appeal and becomes a mandate. The Senate, he said. was of course opposed to such an amend ment, but it was the opinion ‘in Con- gress that the country’s constitution should be o changed. 3 In_speaking to the resolution Johnson of Sacramento said he for one did not care to go on record as saying that the men who go into poiitical conventions were of higher order and greater honor the men who make up the State Legislatures. “California,” said he, “has been represented in the Senate by good men and it is not true that a poor man can no longer be elected.

ELEPHANT: "WELL, I'M THE ONLY ONE LEFT FOR THE CARTOONIST.” EWW0+WI JOHNSON AND HEARST GET COMPLIMENTARIES CALL HEADQUARTERS, SAC- RAMENTO, Feb. 2. — Grovel Johnson gave way to smiles of the beamiest kind to-day when four- teen complimentary votes were piled up for him on the first joint Senatorial ballot. Those voting for Johnson were: Senators Cutter and Leavitt and Assemblymen De Lancie, Dibble, Henry, Knights, Knowland, La Baree, Lardner, Merrill, Miller of San Francisco, Raub, Robinson, Valentine. There was, but one thing to mar the Johnson gladness. It was that Willie Hearst of New York, at whom Mr. Johnson has snarled many threats of death and bod- ily 'harm, was the unanimous chofce of the Democratic minor- ity and polled just twice as many votes as did_Grovel. The two honoraries were dis- posed of on the first ballot; on the second the voting settled down into its old groove and brought no change. 'Thessecond ballot resulted as fol- ows: BARNES 4+ 0404 0404040404 040+040+0 404040 8COTT DE VRIES (D.) ROSENFELD ( WHITE (D.) . PHELAN (D.)

He sald that he had come here to Sacramen- to pledged to elect a southern man Sena- tor if it could be done and if he could not win himself. he wanted to throw his strength to Thomas R. Bard, who was a fit man for the position and very popular south of the Tehachapi. He was careful to explain that he did not care to influ- ence the course of his adherents after e had cast loose from them, but that if they had no other leanings it would be leasing to him if they would drop in be- Elnd the Venturan, Senator Bulla, however, had a string on bis proposition. He did not want to give in unless he could get a half dozen or so of the crowd just now voting for Ulysses S. Grant. Come what may, Grant is the last man that Bulla wants to elect. Even if he retires from the Senatorial race he will still be a conspicuous figure GREAT EVENTS ARE POSTPONED T0 NEXT WEEK Once More Interested the Future. THE MEXICAN WILL BEAR WATCHING. The People Are Too Near a Victory Over Corruption, Intimi- dation and Coercion to Now Be Tricked Into a Defeat by Burns and the Railroad. CALL HEADQUARTERS, ‘SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 24.—Opinion that impor- tant events will occur next week Iis gaining strength to-night. The candi- dates for Senators themselves expect thdat something will happen. The call for a conference of Republicans next Monday at 4 p. m. elicits some com- ment, although the conditions proposed are such as will prohibit discussion on the merits of aspirants. The Grant men are very shy of the scheme, fear- ing that there is a Mexican in the wood- pile. The promoters of the conference aver that the suggestion did not ema- nate from the Burns camp, but was pro- moted by a desire to do something to bring about an agreement among Re- publicans. If the exchange of views leads to the conclusion that Grant and Burns should retire from the field for the good of the Republican party, a B e e e e o e ot ol e o e e e e e e el el e e e el ] B e e S S S R o R R R I has been elected to the Senate, and Steph- en M. White is a poor man.” The resolution, he declared, amounted to the calling of a convention to amend the constitution framed by Thomas Jefferson and his great confreres. In these trou- blous times it would be & grave error to call such a convention. Those who tried to control a Legisla- ture in the election of a United States Senator would use the same methods in lrylng to influence a convention. The remedy for the evil of corruption was to prohibit the use of money in the pri- maries, the convention and the campaign. The whole harm was done before the Leg- islature met, and not afterward, and the bill the speaker had introduced prohibit- In* the use of money in Senatorial cam- paigns would remedy the evil. Belshaw said that in nominating con- ventions combinations are possible that could not exist in a Legislature, and that they could be so manipulated that a nom- inee could be foisted wupon the people whom the people dld not want, but for whom they would have to vote or desert their party. Mead ( 2 of Los Angeles said that he was in favor of the resolution for the reason that when a_Legislature was be nominated in a Senatorial year auestinn was not so much upon the can- idates’ capacity for law-making as upon whom _they would vote to make Senator. In this way, he said, the Legislature became a machine for the making of a Senator, to which the manufacturing of laws was a secondary proposition. Valentine (%) of Los Angsles strongly backed the stand taken bxd ead. He de- nied that the people wouid be compelled to swallow the ndidate nominated convention. Under the present system of elections the people, by petition, could rocure their own candidate. To-day Cal- fornia_stood disgraced before the people | of the United States. The people of the State of California wanted to vote directly for Senator, and, the Legislature of the State was com- posed of men who were presumed to regresent the people. he é;eople of the United States were entitled to vote on the proposition as to whether or not the election of a United States Senator should be left to them, There was a deadlock to-day in Califor- nia over the election of a Senator, this would be impossible if the people were allowed to make the cholce. The resolution was finally so amended that at the convention which it called for only the one proposed amendment can be considered, and the door not thrown apen to a wholesale breaking up of the con- stitution. To-morrow it will come up for final action. e RS BULLA WOULD THROW STRENGTH TO BARD CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 24.—A bunch of Grant votes may be all that prevents Thomas R. Bard of Ventura falling heir to the eleven ad- herents who have stood by Robert N. Bulla to this time when they realize that no quip nor crank of fate can bring their man to victory. This much ‘was. decided to-night at a to the | in | and | { in the situation and will use his energies in the San Diegan’s defeat. He knows that there are men among Grant’s follow- ers who are practically pledged to Bard, and that if Bard gets them Grant's chances of election will be even more re- mote than now. If he cannot start Grant’s forces breaking for Bard he will stay In the fight to keeg Grant out. To the plan broached by Bulla to-night all of his followers practically agreed. They are willing to swing to the new Richmond in the fleld if they can get company for thefr trip over, and they are looking for it in the Grant camp, and a prominent figure in the scheme sald to- night that he did not think they would have much trouble in doing it judging from the way some of the Grant people are talking. “Ever since Greenwell of Ventura went over the other day there has been a feeling of unrest in one section of the Grant layout,” he sald, “and I think there will be somethln%dolng over there before many days. Dan Burns is all that is hold- ing that crowd together. They cannot agree to go in a bunch to any one and they do not want to take a chance on Burns picking up any of the stragglers. Bulla will try and show them the way to g0 and from ‘what a number of them have said to me lately I think our little exodus is not far off.” WAREHOUSE PATRONIZERS WILL NOW BE PROTECTED CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 24.—By permission of four- fifths of the members on tfie floor to-day Carglill of ‘San Juan introduced a bill in the Assembly which is designed to pro- tect persons who have otcasion to pat- ronize warehouses and storehouses. It provides that any firm or corpor: tion who conducts a warehouse or store- Louse shall file with the County Clerk of the county in which the business is_con- ducted a bond to the peoplé of thé State of California, with two sureties. In_all cities or cities and countles of the first class the hond shall be in the sum_ of 000; in cities of the second class, $25.- in citles of the third and fourth classes, $10,000; in cities of the fifth and other classes, $5000. The bonds shall be approved by a Judge of the Superior Court, and should any patron of such warehouse suffer damage or loss. by the misappropriation of goods or other such loss he may sue in his own name upon the bond. . The Lill was referred to the Committée on Commerce and Navigation. New Notaries. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 2.—Governor Gage to-day made the following appointments of no- Taries public: Albert Grutcher, Los An eles; D. C. McGarvin, Los Angeles; C. - Smith, Vaita, Merced County; C. Jacks, Monterey; H. S. Peabody, Santa Ana; Peter W. Beamer, 3 Diego County: G. A._ Whitehurst, San Jose; and James W. Walker, Kirkwood, Tehama County. —_——————— The Grip Cure That Does Cure. Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets the ca that_prod La 2 fl: gen bas . B Qon euch tablets 66, - e recommendation to that effect may be presented. Senator Bulla was asked this even- ing if there was any truth in the re- port circulated to-day that there was an effort to bring about a consolida- tion of the Grant forces with his own. He replied that he had not been ad- vised of such a movement. - The Bulla men held a caucus or conference to- night. The only absentee was Assem- blyman Belshaw and he sent word that he would abide by the decision of his fellow supporters of the Los Angeles Senator. After considerable talk, the conference appointed Senator Gillette and Assemblyman Valentine as a com- mittee to confer with candidates for the Senate with a_ view of effecting some sort of an agreement whereby a Senator acceptable to the people may be chosen. It is the opinion of Sena- tor Bulla that important changes will occur about the middle of next week. Thomas R. Bard of Ventura left here for San Francisco this afternoon, but will return next Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Bard is in the hands of his friends, 80 to speak, and they have doubtless advised him that Sacramento will be a dull place from Baturday afternoon un- til Monday morning. The votes for Johnson on the first bal- lot in joint convention were cast by Scnators Cutter and Leavitt and As- gemblymen De Lancie, Dibble, Henry, Knights, Knowland, La Baree, Lardner, Merrill, Miller of San Francisco, Raub, Robinson and Valentine. Phil Crimmins arrived from San Francisco this evening to look after some matters of legislation in which he is interested. He was asked late to- night if he had paid a visit to Colonel Burns this evening, and replied that he had not. He did not express any cpin- ion as to the outcome of the Senatorial struggle, but indicated that he was sat- isfled’ with the action of his friends in supporting Colonel Burns. The promise of an appointive office to Raub in case he would enter a caucus raises a deal of conjecture as to the extent of patronage promises in the in- terest of Burns. No doubt many prom- ises are out respecting legisiative meas- ures. In this connection the testimony of Lamberson, which was not fully con- sidered by the members of the Legis- lature in the rush of exciting events, is doubly interesting now. Lamberson, in talking with a Burns man, was told that unless members of the Legislature lined up for Burns they would not get their bills considered. It is ob- served now that Dibble is getting in po- sition to grasp legislation in the sembly, and as he is known to be one of the ‘ablest and most audacious of Burns’ supporters every move that he makes ought to be closely studied. The representatives of the people in the Legislature have practically won this fight against Burns, -the machine and Ones Are Referred to, the raflroad and should not be tricked out of the victory in the closing hours of the session. The signs of a secret caucus are growing smaller by degrees and the deadlock is as firm as ever. During the past forty-efght hours strong efforts have been made on the quiet to effect a reconciliation of the Grant and Bulla forees, with the purpose of swinging.the Bulla men into the Grant camp. Strong appeals have been made to:sectional pride in order to attain the coalition. The feeling at one time between these factions was very bitter, but it-has been to some degree allayed recently, but whether it can be subdued to, the extent of bringing about a solid front of the southern men is not clear. It is claimed here' that the influence of Senator Per- kins has been invoked to help an ad- Jjustment of affairs on the lines pro- posed. No doubt the administration has ex- pressed to Senator Perkins a desire for the election of a Republican United States Senator from California. The result can be speedily attained when Burns and Grant retire from the field. The sentiment against either boss or boodle rule is stronger to-day than it was at the beginning of the session. A box of salve for wounded feelings was opened at the joint convention to- day. There was a little arrangement made by Republicans who sympathize with Grove L. Johnson to give him some complimentary votes for the office of United States Senator. The affair was arranged by Senator Cufter and Assemblymen Dibble and Valentine. A small detachment was drawn from each of the leading Senatorial camps to make up fourteen votes. Three votes were drawn from Barnes, four -from Bulla, three from Burns and four from Grant. The Democrats, hearing of the movement, fancied that it would be in | accord with the eternal fitness of things to seize the opportunity to indorse Wil- liam R. Hearst, and accordingly they gave him twenty-eight votes “right off the reel.” The convention hastened to call for another ballot in order to bring the “scattered forces back to their re- spective stations. Hearst got twice as many votes as Johnson, but Johnson made up in applause what'he lacked in votes. It is suggested now that Wright, Jilson and Simpson should each be vin- dicated by a complimentary vote. The vindication though brief is cheap, and should be passed around to Los.An- geles, Alameda and Siskiyou. The talk is heard along the Senato- rial line that there will be *‘something doing next week.” Tt is certain that a vigorous effort will be put forward to induce the legislators from Southern California to rally round the standard of Thomas R. Bard of Ventura. Irving M. Scott is still in the fleld with two votes, and stands ready to welcome ac- cessions when the inevitable break comes. The supporters of General Barhes are firm and confident. They cite the fact that the General has not lost a man since the fight opened and has achieved a gain of four, a larger gain than any other candidate can show. Burns has not vet lost a man, but has gained only three votes since the first ballot was taken. The prolongation of the contest until the pay of legislators stops is now fore- shadowed. The honest men realize that there will be danger to the cause of clean politics and able representation in | the Senate when that time comes. Tt {s suggested that the stanch and true men of the Legislature who are fighting a gallant battle for the people and the fair name of the State shonld be urged to remain here to the finish and resist the election of any unworthy man. Pro- vision will be made for the touts to re- main here, but if members of the Leg- {slature who have business affairs at home requiring attention should leave from time to time during the closing days of the session the number of votes necessary for a choice will daily dimin- jgsh. Mazuma might then appear in per- =on and a discreditable finish follow the long fight. Sol Cahen, department commander of the Grarnd Army of the Republic, and Colonel J. H. Simpson of the depart- ment staff paid ‘a visit to General RBarnes this evening. They came to Sacramento to attend a campfire of the veterans. NOT GREEN, BUT A DOCTOR’S CERTIFICATE CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 24—Milton Jay Green is “{mproving daily and will be able to be in Sacramento within a week if no setback occurs.” This by the word of Dr. S. E. Kelley of Oakland, where Mr. Green is just now engaged in improving. His appearance at the bar of the As- sembly was the special order for 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, but instead of Green came the following letter; To the Honorable Assembly of the State of California: 1 have advised Mr. Green that it would be unwise for him to go to Sacramento in his present condition of health. He is improving daily ‘and saining. 1n strength. I feel confident he will be able to be present in Sacramento within a_week it mno backset occurs. L. E.
