One Side Advocating, the Other Opposing, the Right of the Gov- ernor to Fill the i Vacancy. LR Spectal Dispatch to The Call, WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—An investiga- tion of the right of former Senator Quay of Pennsylvania to a seat in the Senate by appointment of the Governor of Penn- ylvania was begun to-day by the Sen- ate Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions. The session to-day was devoted purely to a legal ment on the right of the Governor to make the appoint- ment in the circumstances which arose in e of Quay—a question which re- has been thrashed over by the Senate in cther cases. Hon. John P. Elkin, Attorney General of | Pennsylvania, sald he would address the committes on behalf of the common- | wealth of Pennsylvania. Former Senator | Bdmunds announced that he would ap- pear for those who remonstrated against the seating of Quay, and that he had as coadjutors Hampton L. Carson and George W. Pepper. W. J. Brennan, an at- to torney of Pittsburg, announced his ap- pearance for the Democratic members of the Pennsylvania Legislature, olated with and sald him James A.

He contended that the se of Quay did not fall within the authority conferred upon a Governor to fill a vacancy in the State's representa- tion in the te. neral Elkin closed the hear- with an argument in rebuttal of the ements and arguments advanced by imunds and Cars conclusion agment of the Gov ernor as to the calling of an extra ses- sion of the Legislature which had failed to elect’a Senator was final and concla- sive, and that he therefore had full authority to exercise his constitutional right to appoint, in order that the State's | representation should be complete. WILL USE FEATHER RIVER. C. F. Golden Plans for a Great Lumber Drive. | MARYSVILLE, Dec. 16.—To make | lumber drive of Feather River between the timber regions at its north fork and this city, for which the projector asks a | bonus of ¥ per thousand for 200,000 feet {18 the proposition to be considered at the next meeting of the Marysville Improv. ment Association. The bonus {8 to be patd | when the logs are landed in the boom | which it is proposed shall not be later than August 1 next. C. Golden, at resent a resident of Tehaha County and ?..rm»rly an old river driver in Lastern | lumber centers, declares the scheme to be perfectly feasible, and he is of the opinion | reaching the desired point with his saw logs. For a dlstance of nine miles above | Feather River bridge at Yuba City he | finds the stream well calculated for the construction of a boom, a sufficient placid- | ity and freedom from sand bars being the | desired features. | " If Golden's experiment should prove | successful it would mean a direct saving to the people of this community of many | thousands of dollars each vear in cost of bullding materials. As It appears that no Thoney 1s sought for the prosecution of the | experiment unless It is proven a success, | no doubt the money for the bonus will be raised, especially if backed by the indorse- | ment of the Improvement Assoclation. ———— Mass Meeting for Men.
