CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLING- TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.— Becretary Hay has openly stated that it would be better to leave the British treaty as it stands than to have it amend- ed. President McKinley entirely agrees ‘with him, and S8enator Davis, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, at the conference at the White House to- day was told that no amendments would be acceptable to the administration. Sen- ator Davis assured the President that he was convinced that the treaty would be m as it had left Secretary Hay's Senator Morgan also assured the Presi- dent that the treaty is in no danger. He said it was a mutter of great importance that the treaty should be ratified and provision made for beginning work on the “There is ere always a lot of mou about anything Great Britain has a thhan in,” Senator Morgan said, “but there is not sufficient reason for it this time. I see that one of the main grounds against the treaty is that in case of war ships of the enemy could go through the canal and attack the Pacific Coast. Where would our ships be all this time? Running away or ting? Why, they could pick their ground for a fight anywhere, and for that matter could stay in the canal itself and do their fighting.” Many of the lelonuu stationed in ‘Washington have called on Secretary lay and have assured him that the passage of the treaty would be most acceptaiie to_their home Governments. It is understood that President McKl: ley is so deeply lmg;:ued with the deplo: able condition of Hawail that he is co templating a special message to Congress, in which he will review the situation as it exists in the islands and will earnestiy recommend the enactment of remedial legislation.

ALL HEADQUARTERS, SAC- C RAMENTO, Feb. 9.—The Legis- lature will adjourn to-morrow at noon and leave Governor Gage alone to nurse his wrath and heal the sore spots left from the punishment administered by the lawmakers from whom he de- manded so much and received so little His carefully planned scheme to starve the members into voting for a bill clothing him with the power of a czar went wrong in the Assembly as soon as to-day’s Call,” containing the exposure of the plot, reached here. Despite the desperate efforts made by Gage to gather votes enough to make a showing, none of the Assemblymen were disposed to fall down. They were threatened and browbeaten, but all to no avail, and when the House convened P e e e s st ] + + GAGE SHOWS HIS + VINDICTIVENESS + + Withholds Senator Burnett's + Appointment From Con- 4 firmation for Refusing to + Vote for Burns. Specia] Dispatch to The Call. CALL HEADQUARTERS, BAC- RAMENTO, Feb. 9.—Governor, Gage has vented his spite on one of the Senators who was too big for him to handle and too indepen- dent to submit to his dictation. Be- cause Senator Burnett refused to vote for Daniel M. Burns for United States Senator Gage has not sent his name to the Senate for 4 confirmation as one of the Port 4 Wardens of 8an Francisco. Shortly 4 after the adjournment of the last 4 session Gage announced a number 4 of appointments, among which 4 were Senator Burnett and Assem- 4 blyman Kenneally as Port War- 4 dens. Kenneally managed to secure 4 his place by effecting a compromise 4 with Percy Henderson. Burnett, 4 however, found that he had been 4 passed a gold brick. At that time 4 he was in the camp of Colonel Burns. Gage promised him that 4 everything would be arranged to 4 his satisfaction and that as soon as 4 the Legisiature convened his name + would be submitted to the Senate 4 for confirmation. + Senator Burnett's position in the 4 late Senatorial fight is a matter of 4 recent history. As evidence that it 4 did not please Gage the fact that 4 he submitted the name of every 4 appointee announced since the last 4 sessicn but that of Burnett is taken 4 as the best proof. The Governor's 4 action in the matter is a subject of + very severe and uncomplimentary 4 comment among the Republican 4 Senators, who state that it is a dis- ¢ play of petty vindictiveness that 4 they thought was beneath a man of 4 even Gage's caliber. * G+ 4444444444444 4000 SENATE CONFIRMS MANY APPOINTMENTS Governor Gage Returns a Number of Important Bills With His Approval. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9.—In the Senate this morning Burnett for the Committee on Executive Communications and Nomi- nations reported back the list of appoint- ments sent in by the Governor yesterday, recommending that they be confirmed. There was no opposition to any of the appointments until the name of Robert C. Poppe of Sonoma County, appointed a director of the California Home for the Care and Training of Feeble-minded Chil- dren, was reached. A warm fight was started against the confirmation of this appointment. It took twenty-one votes to confirm, and after the roll had been called Poppe had but 16 votes in his favor. A call of the House was ordered. After a wait of nearly an hour the necessary 21 votes were secured and Poppe's appoint- ment confirmed. The confirmations were as follow! ‘nGre‘:zI:’ge W.

His own party was ashamed of him. and even the Democratic members made wry faces whenever his name was men- tioned. Assemblyman Belshaw blocked any possibility of “phony” legislation by in- troducing a resolution that no bills would be eonsidered after 12:30 o’clock to-day. The resolution went through with 2 rush. Before the Governor's men fully appreciated what they were up against the joint resolution to adjourn at 12 o'clock Saturday, which was to have been considered at 3 o'clock, was called up out of order and adopted.

Senator Wolf this afternoon withdrew his proposed constitutional amendment to regylate the chargss of telephone com- anies, and in doing so explained that he ad introduced it in good faith, and that the time would come when evoribody ‘would concede the necessity for such leg- islation. Senator Smith offered a concurrent resolution granting leave of absence from the State not to exceed six months of Btate Treasurer Truman Reeves. The res- olution was adopted. A message was received from the Gov- ernor announcing that ne had signed Sen- ate bill 1, repealing the wide-tire act, proved March 20, 1897; aleo Senate bill 13, repealing section 19 of article III of the State unacy Commission act.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 9.—In the Assem- bly this morning Melick moved that his notice to reconsider the bill by which the wide tire law was repealed be laid on the table. The motion was carried, being the last act, so far as the Legislature is con- cerned, in the removal of the wide tire law from the statutes. Assembly joint resolution No. 4 was ‘The resolution _instructs State’s representatives in Congress to u their best efforts to secure the appropiia- tion recommended by the California De- bris Commission for debris dams and re- straining works in the State. Senate constitutional amendment No. 3, authorizing municipal charters to be voted for at general elections and permitting their amendment by a majority instead of a three-fifths vote, was adopted. Assembly bill No. 2, authorising the Governor to withdraw State lands from gle. was taken up, and Belshaw moved at it be re-referred to the committee, which meant its death.. Dibble and John- son protested that this was not fair, and the motion was withdrawn. The measurc, after a call of the house, was passed by a vote of 42 to 29. A resolution was introduced requirin plans to be made for the improvement o the State C:gutol bullding. The Assembly refused to adopt a joint resolution nroteutlns against the gm 4 treaty with England relative to the Nica-' ragua canal, now pending before the Fed- eral Senate. Assembly joint resolution No. 1, asking Congress to call a convention for propos- ing amendments to the Federal constitu- tion, to the end that United States Benators may be elected by direct vote of the people, was adopted.

Similar measures were smothered in the Senate. Some of the lawmakers packed their grips and went away this afternoon. To- morrow Sacramento will resume its nor- mal condition. About all that remains for the Legislature to do is to close up stlop.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL HEADQUARTERS, BAC- RAMENTO, Feb. 9.—The Btate printing office is to be investigated and if the present plans are carried out the office of State Printer will be made appointive instead of elect- ive. The strike threatened by the printers during the first week of the extra session is responsible for the trouble that is about to be pre- cipitated on Printer Johnston's head. Just before the Senate adjourned this afternoon Senator Leavitt stated there were many things in the State printing office that needed investigation and requested that a committee of three hold-overs be selected to give a thorough over- hauling to the management of the institution and report at the next session. Senators Leavitt, Short- ridge and Ashe were named. It is understood In inner circles that the move means that the State printing office will be closed perma- nently within two years, except during sesstons of the Legislature, and that State work will be let out by contract to the lowest bidder. It is figured that this will result in & saving of nearly 50 per cent in the State’s printing bills. ° The idea of making the office of Btate Printer appointive is to place that official in a position where he will not dare hold up the Legisla- ture by Instigating a strike among his men. Governor Gage has a lit- tle hammer out for Mr. Johnston and is stated to be behind the pro- posed investigation.” ' - + THEt PPttt LI L Lo ‘with his approval Assembly bill 13, TO- priating M% to pay the printing ex;ggul of the extra session, and Assembiy bill 22, appropriating to pay clerks and other attaches of the Assembly.

Brown (R.) finally moved that it be re-referred to the committee on Federal relations. Assemblyman Hanley there- upon introduced a resolution that the committee be instructed to report immedi- ately. The resolution was voted down. A motion that the committee be imstructed to report in fifteen minutes was also lost, and the pro-Boer resolution was consigned to the committee, the fate of so many bills, _resolutions and constitutional amendments which have been considered to-day. ‘Knowland's Assembly joint resolution No. 5, relative to the survey of public lands in this State, was adopted. After considering a large number of resolutions relative to pay of attaches, adjournment was taken until 10:30 & m. to-morrow. B SENATOR DAVIS ON THE WORK OF THE SESSION Special Dispatch to The Call, CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 9.—Senator Davis, Ama- dor's representative in the Senate and one of the leaders of the upper house, sums up the work of the extra session as follows: The programme on the election of United States Senator was smashed to flinders and a man without a string to him from any quarter has been elected Senator. This result has infused new life into the Republican party and set the pace for the coming campaign. All of the arbitrary power of removal legislation has been betiten, forced to be withdrawn in the Assembly and smothered to death in the Senate after the lightning stroke of Senator Rowell's motion to strike out the enacting clause of the hospital bill. The flagrant abuse arising out of section 19 of the lunacy bill of 1897, making cer- tain officials practically hold for life, un- der a late decision of the Supreme Court, has been corrected by the repeal of that section and the Governor is thereby given the power In a legitimate way to correct the evils that had arisen under that sec- ion. Certain other legislation, including that for the benefit of San Francisco_harbor, was passed without objection. ‘she chiet object of the session—the election of a second United States Senator—was con- sidered on a plane so high and was so successful in the outcome that the people will cheerfully pay the $30,000 that the session has cost. The splendid record of this extra session {s a complete reversal of a]l former extra session experiences in this State. OPPOSE POOLROOMS. Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—There was & scene at the night session of the House to- night which momentarily recalled the stirring and exciting days of the Fifty- first Congress. An irate member rushed down the main aisle, brandishing his arms and shouting for recognition, while half the Democratic members were on their feet, execrating the occupant of the chair for wnat they termed his arbitrary course, and from several places in the hall came loud hisses. Last Friday nght Tajlbert (D.) of South Carolina blocked private pension legisia- tion pecause there was no quorum present and threatened to continue to do so at every subsequent Friday night session un- less a quorum were present. His warn- Inf had its effect. There was an unusu- ally large attendance when the House was cailed to order at 8 o'clock to-night. Speaker Henderson himself was in the chalr, and the galleries, usually empty at night’ sessions, were crowded in anticipa- tion ot a lively time. Talbert maintained his threat as soon as | the motion was made to go into committee | of the whole, but the roii-call showed the | presence of a score or more cf members in excess of a querum. The friends of pri- vate pension biils were jubilant. e burn (R.) of lowa was called to preside | oter the commitiee of the whole, and the | clerk read the first bill. Talbert arose | leisurely while the bill was being put through the legislative stages, the adop- tion of committee amendments, engross- | ment, third reading and final passage, and addressed the chair. He was L‘omplelelX ignored. Another bill was read, engrossed, read a third time and passed, all in the space of a minute, with Talbert still clam- oring for recognition. A third bill was passed in the same way. By this time the whole Democratic side was aroused. A dozen members were on Talbert, thoroughly angered, started down_ the main alsle. shouting: | ) “Mr. Chairman! Mr. ni as roached. He reached the area in front of the Speaker's rostrum, all the while roaring cut his denunciation of the chair- man's arbitrary course, before the chair- man condescended to recognize him. The! Democrats all about were also asserting their disapproval. The Republicans seemed to enjoy the storm which the chairman’s course had raised. Talbert rapidly cooled down after he had been recognized and explained in a brief speech that the presence of a quorum had completely vindicated his position.
