NEW YORK, November ~.
The Times San Francisco correspond
ent has no donbt of the election of Cen
eral Miller, the Alaska fur man, to sue
coed Booth. He adds: Booths course in
the Senate has not increased his popular
ity at home. When he was elected
great things were expected Of him. There
was no question about his ability or his
brilliancy, but his Incidence stood bar
rier to his fame. Californians saw with
great disappointment that in the great
controversy in the Senate over the rail
road sinking fund bill, he allowed nearly
all the serious work to be done by Sena-
tor Thurman and others, contenting him
self with one or two speeches. To-day
Booth is regarded by the inhabitants OF
California as a man Of splendid abilities,
but without the energies to direct them
to useful purposes.
Congressman Berry, of California, be-
lieves General Miller will be the choice
for Senate, in California, but possibly
the Democrats will form combination
with disaffected Republicans and re-elect
Booth, or some other man opposed to
Miller. Berry claims that Miller's con-
nection with the fur monopoly is distaste-
full to many Republicans. The Coast
Democrats were injured rather than
aided by the Morey letter, as they re-
garded Garfeld's position on the Chinese
question as bad at any rate. Berry an
ticipates stalwarth administration, with
Grant, Conkling, Cameron and Gorham
in the fore, and Gorham controlling the
patronage of California.

said, are cigar makers and printers.

DENVER, November 20.
Lieutenant Governor Robinson dice
this morning at 7 o'clock. Whether i
was accidental or murder is not fully
settled, but a post-mortem examination
to-day will probably throw some light OF
the subject.
That the shooting of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Robinson was accidental is nov
evident from the post-mortem examina
ton, which shows that but one shot wa
fred. The ball, in its course through
! door, struck q nail, split and carried
pieces Of the nail with it, thus causing
, four wounds, supposed to have beel
caused by other shots. There had beel
7 a disagreement with the miners few
days ago, which caused the belief thu
4 the first report of a riot and assassination
to be true. 1t is known now that Their
was nothing of this nature whatever i
connection with the affair, and the miner
deeply regret the sad result Of the tel
d rible mistake of the guard. Governo
$ Robinsons remains will be in state q
Leadville tomorrow; in Denver o
Wednesday, and then taken to his fol
n mer home in Michigan.
