SACRAMENTO, March 20.-Geo.
E. Landes, q school teacher, has
been on trial here for over a week
for bigamy. He was charged with
marrying Mrs. Finn, widow,
about eighteen months ago. This
marriage could only be proven by
the acknowledgement of defendant
to various parties and certificate
made out by defendant with spu.
rious official certihcation. The
marriage was cOnsummated and
child born, and defendant ncknowl-
edged 1t as his lawful offspring.
ALI this he denied on the trial and
held 1t was all q case put up against
him, but the proof against him In
contradiction was heavy and leaves
no doubt in the public mind here.
About six months ago the defend
ant married in regular form Miss
Hack of this county. He then
went 10 point near Woodland to
teach school. Mrs. Finn went over
to the school house, called Landes
out aud shot at him twice or thrice
with a pistol for which she Is now
under Indictment in Yolo county.
Landes was prosecuted for bigamy
In Sacramento county. The trial
began q week ago Friday before
Superior Judge Clark, and at 4
O'Clock yesterday, after brief re-
tirement, the jury found Landes
guilty as charged.

WASHINGTON, March l9.--The
increasing probability that an ex.
ira session OF Congress will be call
ed is directing renewed attention
to the Speakership contest. The
only Eastern candidate of promi.
nence is Frank Hiscock of New
York, who will be supported by
the Republicans of his own State
aud those of Pennsylvania and
New England. The West has two
prominent candidates, viz: Kasson
Of Iowa, and Kiefer of Ohio. Bur-
rows, of Michigan, 10 also in tile
field, but has no considerable
chances. The contest is generally
believed to be between Hiscock
and Kasson, with the prospects ut
present favoripg the former. fit
is decided to call
AN EXTRA SESSION
This Spring, successor for Minis.
ter Kssson, at Vienna, will be des.
ignated forthwith, and in anticipa.
tI0n of this probability, q rumor Is
current that Minister Bingham
will be transferred to Austria, and
some Eastern man (possibly John
Russell Young) be cent to japan.
The Republican Senators have not
yet canvaased upon the subject of
moving for u change in the Senate
officers during this special session,
and several of them are inclined to
favor the retention Of the present
until the 47th Congress shall have
assembled In both branches, and
especially IL that event Is likely to
occur ct An early day. It. is urged
that IL would be rather "crOwding
the meurners' to throw
TEE DEMOCRATIC OFFICERS
And their subordinates out of en-
ployment 30 suddenly. and upon
such very short notice; and besides
these considerations, 1t will be In
the power OF the Dem ocrats to pre-
vent any change In officers, If they
solidly abstain from voting on any
resolution providing for a change,
and thus break the requisite
quorum. 1t is quite doubtful, how.
ever, whether all the Democrats

purpose, and if two Of them, or one
Democrat and Judge Davis, vote
either way the Republicans would
be successful. Whenever the
changes are made Georse G. Cor
ham will undoubtedly be re. elected
Secretary Of the Senate, and James
r. Young, of Pennsylvania, Ex-
ecutive Clerk. The office of Ser
geant-at. Arms seems, by com mon |
consent, to be practically at the
disposal Of Senator Malone, but 1t
does not appear that he has yet de. |
cided upon q candidate acceptable
to the Republicans, and this Is
probably the secret Of the delay In
the whole matter.
A TRIF TO CALIFORNIA.
Senator Don Cameron has inylt-
ed party to accompany him and
his wife to California In his special
car. General Beale and his wife
and daughter, H. M. Hutchinson,
and probably Walker Blaine, are
to he Of the party. The intention
is to start from Washington some
time next week.
The Star this evening has the
following: When President Gar
