A few days ago Mrs. Parlin flled a suit for dicorce in Los Angeles, alleging extreme cruelty, and naming Mrs. Ma- cadam as co-respondent. The suit has created great excitement here owing to the prominence of the peo- ple involved in the case. About four years ago the husband of Mrs. Macadam, who is much older than she, went to Alaska, leaving his wife here. Parlin is an old man, while Mrs. Macadam is quite young. Mrs. Macadam's husband is.now in Wash- ington State and she left here about a week ago ostensibly on a visit to her mother in Canada.

The Senate notification was or dered In a resolution offered by Valentine of Los Angeles, and besides the formal announcement carried a list of the officers and attaches of the convening body. Valentine's resolution named the officers already on the payroli, and read as fol- lows: Resolved, That the following named persons be and they are hereby elected as the officers of this extraordinary ses- sion of the Legislature of the State of California: Speaker, Alden Anderson; Speaker pro tem, F.

It was hotly argued and was finally withdrawn. Valentine’s reso- lution then went through with only a few Democratic votes agalnst it. The vote stood 61 to 16. Assemblyman Wade offered a resolution calling upon the chair to appoint a com- mittee to inform the Governor that the Assembly had convened, and ask if he had any communications to make. Speaker Anderson named Wade, Belshaw and Meade, and later Meade, acting as chairman, reported that his Excellency had a message to read to both houses and desired that they meet in joint con- vention to hear him. Dibble offered the necessary resolution and at 4:30 the ex- ecutive was given his opportunity. A committee of five, consisting of Raub, Belshaw, White, Merritt and Kenneally, was appointed by the chalir to report upon the attfiches and officers of the Assembly and make recommendations as to a ‘re- duction of the force. At 4:30 the commit- tee reported progress, and upon motion of Johnson was given more time for its investigations. Upon the request of Belshaw, Assemi- blyman Howard Wri#ht was granted a week's leave of absence, and the same courtesy was extenided to Caminett! upon request of Raub. | Adjournment was taken to 11 o'clock to- morrow morning. BURNS MEN FOILED IN THE ASSEMBLY They Fail in Their Attempt to Bring on a Senatorial Ballot To-Day. CALL HEADQUARTERS, BACRA- MENTO, Jan. 20.—This afternoon Assem- blyman H. C. Dibble of San Francisco and Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson of Sac- ramento were forced upon the floor of the Assembly and compelled to renounce in the name of their Mexican master the job they had hatched up to bring on the Sen- atorial balloting to-morrow by preventing the reorganization of the Legislature. One of Burns' greatest hopes of victory was in beginning the vote for Senator before those who are opposed to him had had time to organize their forces and decide upon their procedure. That hope lost its identity to-day in the first victory of the antl-Burns element and It was lost only after the hardest sort of a fight on both sides of the Senatorial deadline. | As it is, the Assembly is not reorgan- | 1zed; it is merely convened under the same | order of things established at its opening and not extraordinary session, but the danger of that condition was ellminated by the castiron promises forced from the Mexican's lieutenants after a battle royal in open session. Early this morning there was a little meeting of the leaders of the different fac- tions. Dibble was called in, as was John- son, and it was clearly demonstrated to. them that they did not have a dead man’s chance to put through the job they had up their sleeves. Under pressure, they finally agreed to take the floor as soon the Assembly should be convened an make open and unqualified agreement not to propose a ballot for Senator until a week from to-morrow. Relying upon this agreement, Valentine, when the opportunity offered, handed up a resolution instrueting the clerk to notify the Senate that the Assembly was In ses- sion pursuant to the call of the Governor. Dibble rose apparently to keep his agree- ment, and argued for the adoption of Val- entine’s resolution. It very shortly de- veloped, however, that Dibble was giving his agreement the overlook; he argued for the resolution all right, for it did not pro- ROCKEFELLER MAY BE S Spanish Officer Claims to Have Seen Him. .

He is a native of New York. a regular army officer and a veteran of the war of the rebellion. Although to-day's dispatch gives ground for hope that he is still alive, the officlals here are not en- tirely satisfled on that point. @+ 0o e edeie@ vide for reorganization, but he made no mention of the Senatorial proposition. Raub of Yuba was ready for some such play, and promptly .offered a substitute for Valentine's resolution, which provided for reorganization, and made several changes in the list of attaches. Dibble raised the point of order that Raub's substitute made appointments tc offices aiready filled, and could not be considered for that reason. Brown of San Mateo® spoke to the point of order and contended that reorganization was re- quired by law, as the present session was not a continuation of the last one, but distinctly a session by itself. Dibble in- terrupted him frequently and finally got the'floor to explain more fully his point. He cited the fact that upon three pre- vious, occasions the Assembly had gone into extra session without reorganization, and declared he could see no reason for departing from timeworn precedent. Eventually he submitted the question to Speaker Anderson, who announced that although he was convinced that Dibble's position was correct he did not care to de- cide the question, and would rule the point not well taken in order that it might be decided by the members themselves. Dib- ble objected, and while he was teiling why Johnson went over to Raub's desk and attempted to talk him into withdraw- ing his resolution. The Burns push knew that their one chance lay in the sustain- ing of Dibble’'s point of order. The votes against them were easily two to one, and they did not want to take the chance of a roll call. Raub refused to withdraw unless Dib- ble and Johnson made good the agree- ment of the morning. In this he was backed by Brown and a number of qthers of the opposition. Johnson finally called Dibble into the parley, and after an- other Ineffectual assault they gave in and Johnson went back to his seat. He said that in his opinion no ballot for Senator could be taken legally until the second week anyway. He also sald that, wheth- er the Assembly was reorganized or not, the members and attaches would get their pay. Then he srald he hoped Raub would withdraw his substitute, and made way for Dibble. Dibble said it was all a case of forget- fulness on his part. He had iIntended to say just what Johnson had sald, and he would go even farther than he had, and on behalf of the Burns forces agree that there should be no ballot demanded until Tuesday of next week. Upon this Raub withdrew his substitute, and Valentine's original resolution was adopted. ANTI-BURNS SENATORS WIN IN THE CAUCUS Reorganization Plan Goes Through With but Little Effort. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 20.—Several hard blows were delivered at Dan Burns to-day dur- ing a caucus of the Republican members of the Senate. The anti-Burns Senators stood out for a reorganization of the Sen- ate and won with hardly an effort. The Burns people made a play to create a big block of patronage, and falled to carry their scheme through. The Burns men wanted an early vote on the Senatorship. The caucus declded not to take a ballot untfl Tuesday of next week. It was expected that the colonel's forces would make a hard fight against reorgani- zation, as they had openly avowed that they were opposed to the plan. They based great hope on the llkellhood of rush- ing a vote on the Senatorship. Reorgan- ization meant a delay of a week at least, and with it, it appears Mr. Burns’ chances g0 a-glimmering. When the caucus was called to order Senator Davis offered resolutions provid- ing for the complete reorganization of the Senate. Much to the surprise of the anti- Burns Senators, the Mexican's men sur- rendered, and did not as much as voice a protest agalnst the move. This was taken as an Indication that they appre- clated the strength of the force against them and the uselesshess of making a fight. That they were still In the schem- ing business, however, developed a little | later when Senator Leavitt presented a | resolution providing for the appointment of enough clerks to make every Burns tout and heeler happy. It was calculated as a very shrewd plan to assist In buying missing since A is a mystery to The | & COMES TO ENLIST AID FOR BATTLING BOERS Maud Gonne, th @ e “Irish Joan o Arc,” Urges Irishmen to Strike "a Blow at England. 29.—Miss Maud * arrived amer La Gonne future NEW YORK, Jan. Gonne, the “Irish Joan of Arc to-day on the French line st Normandie from Havre. Miss could say but little about her movements In this country, beyond the fact that she would stay a month and. then hurry back to Ireland, as her m::.; was fully engaged there. She will ad- dress several meetings in the interest of he Bo X h “L'pon the arrival of La Normandie g the pler Miss Gonne was escorted to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. “The object of my visit here,” sald Miss Gonne, “is to arouse sentiment here in favor of the Boers. I have been In F‘ranc‘eA Germany and Holland, and there have heard expressions of surprise that Amer- ica was not foremost in championing the Boers. They are struggling for liberty: they are fighting as you did for 1ndepen§1- ence. I believe that the sentiment in fa- vor of the Boers is growing and I shall do all in my power to fan the flame. “Another reason that I am here s to cement the unity of sentiment between the Irish in America and the Irish in Ire- land. That sentiment is so strong now in Dubiin that they don't dare to march the troops down the main streets for fear of having them hissed and assaulted. The present time is the best that Ireland has ever bad to strike a blow for freedo; “In Ireland to-day there are only 6000 soldiers, where formerly there were 20,000, One reason that Ireland is not in a good osition to strike a blow is because she | gsd stridtly followed Parnell's teachings | that liberty could be secured by parlia-| mentary motions. It was said that we | could have freedom by asking and hold- | P et e e St et i e s ate with the patronage that Senator Leav- itt was very generously trying to provide for the faithful. Mis scheme was so trans- parent that a blind Senator could have seen through it and the opposition crushed it with neatness and dispatch. The patronage proposition created the ohly argument during the caucus. On all other matters the Burns people showed no disposition to fight, but when there was a chance to get both fists into the public treasury they declared themselves. At first they tried bulldozing tactics, which proved to be of no avail. Then they began to plead and finally almost begged to be shown some consideration. The only concession that was made to them was the consent to refer the subject to a committee, after it had been decided that the clerkships s*ould be limited to the number actually necessary to handle the business of the Senate. Senators Da- visy Cutter and Leavitt were appointed on the committes. On the basis finally set- tled upon there will be no fat jobs, and $6 a day will be the amount of patronage at the disposal of each of the Republican Senators. The anti-Burns Senators were right on their mettle throughout the caucus, and not satisfled with upsetting the colonel's plans they added a little force to their position by deciding not to take a %ote on the Senatorship until Tuesday of next weelk. GAGE’S REMOVAL SCHEME PLAIN AS DAYLIGHT SACRAMENTO, Jan. 29.—Gage’'s propo- sition embodied in his message to the Leg- islature wherein he seeks power to re- move appoinged officers is clearly under- stood in the Senate and Assembly. It is a rank scheme to place patronage in the hands of the executive to be used to sus- tain Burns. As the scheme has been ven- tilated there is no danger of its success. Many Senators will jump on the measure immediately on its introduction in case the Governor can find any one with the audacity to introduce it. ANTI-BURNS MEETING AT SANTA BARBARA SBANTA BARBARA, Jan. 20.—The meet- ing held at Armory Hall in this city to- night was attended principally by the leading business men, most of whom were leading Republicans, yet there were a few Democrats In attendance. The speakers were all opposed to the call for an extra session and 6 expressed them- selves as being bitterly opposed to the election of Dan Burns for Senator.
