The only persons present at the operation were Dr. Maz- toni, Dr. Lapponi, who assisted, and Dr. Pio Centra, the Pope’s personal at- lendant. At 9:30 His Holiness was car- ried on a litter to a window of his wpartments. Smiling, he said to the foctor: “Do you want to_play these iricks on me at my age?” Then he lay fown composedly on his right side.

The Car lomatic dinner arranged by Rampolla for to-morrow will not be given, the invitations having een >untermanded. It was ascertained on inquiry at the Vatican at a late hour this evening that the Pope was resting tranquilly. Dr. Lapponi left the Vatican for a short time about midnight. He then seemed very hopeful. The Pope has always concealed the existence of the tumor. After the operation, it appears, the weakness due to loss of blood became extreme and his Holiness lost con- sciousness, and muttered unintelligible Latin phrases. The Pope's extreme weakness alarmed his attendants and the prelates and all knelt, weeping ilently. Presently the Pope i Dr. Mazzoni why they wept and whether it was because he was growing worse. Dr. Mazzoni replied: ““No; they weep because they love your Holiness. Dr. Mazzoni then ordered the cham- ber cleared and cordials, broths and champagne were administered with good effect.

A FORTUNE IN SIGHT Result of a Few Hours’ Work Sent .%o San Francisco in the Shape of a Yellow Brick. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, March 1.—A remarkable strike of free-gold ore has just been made on North Cow Creek. Three pros- pectors named Dale, Moore and Silence took our over $1000 apiece in three days. The lucky gold to town on Monday, had it reduced to a brick in the sampling works here and shipped the brick to the Mint in an Francisco. The brick was valued at $3757. The strike is located a quarter of | a mile from the Afterthought smelter, across North Cow Creek, twenty-two miles northeast of Redding. The ex- tremely rich ore is contained in an eight-inch wvein and the rock is wired together with strings and sheets of gold. The discoverers came in to perfect their location, as they were afraid some one would Iearn of their good for- tune and undertake to make trouble | for them in the Recorder’s office. They estimate they have $2000 in sight in an open cut. with the prospect that the creek bed, encountering plenty of coarse gold and several handsome specimens that had evidently come from a quartz seam. The water got low and they turned their attention to discovering whence the seam gold had come. They | found a trace and followed it into the hill, making an open cut. The seam rapidly widened out to elght inches. A beautiful specimen of quartz gold worth $85 was exhibited in this city. This discovery has attracted renewed. attention to a district that has been neglected by the experienced pros- pectors.

FRIENDSHIP BETTER Republic Advised to Seek Uncle Sam’s Good Will and Not to Flirt With Germany. Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1599, by James Gordon Bennett. s PARIS, March 1.—France, or rather the French' Government, is given grave warning by Le Temps in its leader to- night. . Its text might be said to be, “Don’t try to monkey with the Anglo- Saxon peoples,” and it's object is tn‘ there is a stronger bond of agreement between Germany, England and the | United States than the ultra national- ists in France will admit. Le Temps says Lord Charles Beres- ford’s idea of a quadruple alliance ap- peals to the imagination of many in the United States, and then goes on: “Nothing is further from our thoughts than to pretend that when such con- ception has germinated in the public | ? | | | : mind it has at the same time entered international politics. What, however, must_be noted on one hand is that in! @ spite ‘of the apparent provocations the | | ble with regard to other powers, dis- plays great patience toward Germany, cértain actions in .the Bay of Manila | and in Samoa, Germany has no idea nt‘ entering into the struggle with the powerful transatlantic democracy.” Le Temps then concludes that for | | France to direct her policy with the idea of a European coalition against | two Anglo-Saxon powers would be to énter heedlessly into a most dangerous undertaking, and says France has not yet arrived at a point when she can write down voluntarily Alsace-Lorraine in the profit and loss columns by con- senting to play the game of her enemies against liberal nations, which put into | plain language seems to mean, Le Temps. counsels, rapprochement with the United States through England rather than fruitless coquetting with Germany.

M. Burns is out of the fight for the Senatorship. After weeks and weeks of boasting that the Bulla men would obey the command of Herrin and go into caucus and ultimately round up in the Burns camp, the supporters of Senator Bulla, with the single exception of Assemblyman Cosper, have rallied around the standard of General Barnes. Again to-day Burns encountered overwhelming defeat in the Republican conference. Yesterday his man Shortridge cracked the whip over the heads of independent and honorable Republicans, telling them that they were cowards who dared not abide by the will of the Mexican. To-day the con- ference was adjourned sine die. Burns rallied every man on whoese support he could count, and only twenty-nine responded to vote against the dissolution of the conference. TUnited States is so unjustly suscepti- [? and that, on the other hand, de‘spne\‘ ? ? ? { The burns managers, aided by the railroad and the machine, are working with desperation to-night in order to hold their wav- ering forces from speedy disintegration. The Burns forces may be | held together for a few days longer in order that deals concerning patronage may be made, but Burns himself is a defeated man and has lost the power to name the next United States Senator, likewise the power to defeat the election of a Senator by this Leg- islature. From every section of California messages are coming congratulating members of the Legislature on the work of to-day. and [ m CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, March 1.—Signs multiply that the deadlock is.breaking and that a Republican United States Senator will be elected at this session of the Leg- islature. Events of this eventful day afford theme for earnest conversation at the Capitol. Early this morning the im- portant news that was*known to a few insiders late last.night was whispered in the Senate and Assembly chambers. An audience larger than usual assem- bled at the Capitol at the hour for the joint convention to meet. Lieutenant Governor Neff presided on the part of the-Senate, and, in the absence of IT'S THE MEXICAN'S MOVE. 90009000000 0-0-00-0 000 e ° G ° ° ® ° ° ° ® Speaker Anderson, Assemblyman Dun- lap presided for the Assembly. The report that the Bulla men had joined the forces of General Barnes was soon verified after the call of the roll began. When Senator Bulla’s name was pro- nounced by the secretary of the Sen- ate, the Senator responded “W. H. L. Barnes” in a clear, distinct tone that was heard throughout the Assembly chamber. . The prolonged applause which followed. was manifested by the clapping of hands. The next change to the Barnes column e—s signaled when the name of Senator Gillette was called. Again the members and spec- tators applauded. When the name of Senator Taylor was called his little girl. aged 6 years, pronounced in a sweet, childish -voice, the name of “W. H. L. Barnes.” The. ap- plause and merriment which fol- lowed this vote put the convention in a happy frame of mind. Senator Flint, who had been voting for Thomas R. Bard since the begin- ning of the session, voted for Irving M. Scott. Senator Rowell, another Bard man, also voted for Mr. Scott. On the calling of the Assembly roll Mr. Belshaw was the first of the Bulla men to vote for General Barnes and the change was the signal for sincere and prolonged applause, which extended from the floor to the galleries. The subsequent changes from Bulla to Barnes were in this order: Boynton, Conrey, Melick, Miller of Los Angeles, Robinson and Valentine. Assembly- man Cosper voted for Irving M. Scott. As announced in° The Call this morn- ing Assemblyman Greenwell, who left the Grant fold a few days ago and voted for Thomas R. Bard at the in- stance of the Ventura County Republi- can Committee, returned to his former allegiance and received a round of ap- plause from the Grant men in the con- vention. 3 The transfer of ten votes from Sena- tor Bulla’s camp to the column cf Gen- eral Barnés gives the latter twenty-two votes. Two of the Barnes men were absent from the convention to-day, Speaker Anderson was confined to his room on account of sickness and As- semblyman Muenter was away attend- ing the wedding of his sister. Senator Bulla’s example in voting for General Barnes and opening the way for his supporters to transfer their strength to the cause of the general is highly commended. Senator Bulla has demonstrated to his associates and to the public that he is animated by a spirit of devotion to the Republican Party and the State. He has put aside, for the present session at least, a noble and cherished ambition to represent the State of California in the United States Senate in order to open the way for the adjustment of party differences. Hig manly and patriotie course gains for him a legion of friends. His intelli- gence and sense of right enable him to see that neither Grant nor Burns can creditably represent California in the Senate, and hence gives his own support and by example the support of his followers to a clean, honorable and able man. To-night Senator Bulla is receiving messages from the south commending him for his noble course. In this com- mendation representative Republicans from every section of the State will join. The report given.out by the Burns touts that the Bulla supporters have only been loaned to Barnes is ons of the silly falsehoods of the campaign. These men from the north and south who so gallantly sustained the cause of Senator Bulla in sixty-six ballots are in the Barnes column to stay and will give the general a support as sin- cere and enthusiastic as they gave Mr. Bulla. Assurance of this character has
