B00th's course IN the senate mas not IN
creased his popularity at home. When he
was elected great things were expected Of
him. There was 40 question about his
ability or his b~rilliancy, but his Incidence
| stood as q barrier to his fame. Californians
saw with great disappointment that in the
great controversy in the Senate over the
railroad sinking fund bill, he allowed
nearly all the serious work to be done by
Senator Thurman and others, contenting
himself with one or two speeches. To-day
Booth is regarded by the inhabitants of
California as a man of splendid abilities,
but without the energy TO direct them to
useful purposes.
Congressman Berry, of California, be-
lieves General Miller will be the choice for
Senator in California, but possibly the
Democrats will form q combination with
disaffected Republicans and ~re-elect Booth,
or some other man opposed to Miller.
Berry claims that Miller's connection with
the Alaska fur monopoly is distasteful to
many Republicans. The Coast Democrats
were injured rather than aided by the
Morey letter. as they regarded Garfield's
position on the Chinese question as bad at
any rate. Berry anticipates q stalwart
administration, with Grant, Conkling,
Cameron and Gorham in the fore, and
Gorham controlling the patronage Of Cal
ifornia.

from the Chinese residents here of the
amount Of damage sustained by them, and

will require our Government to render full
