The democrats made desperate efforts
to gain a majority in the Senate but
failed to accomplish their purpose. 1t Is
yet uncertain how the legislatures of New
Jersey. Indiana and California stand.
Both parties claim majorites and it may
not be known until the legislatures as
semble how they are politically divided.
But if it should prove to be the fact
which is very doubtful-that the demo-
Gratis carry all these States for Senator. the
republicans will still have a majority of
two in the Senate. The republicans will
have thirty-n senators and the demo-
Gratis thirty-seven.
OF the democratic attempt to gain con-
troll of the Senate by fraud the Philadel-
phia Press saws: 1.-The first step in the
plot was taken la Illinois in the election
of 1884. In order to obtain majority in
the legislature OF that State fraudulent
ballots were substituted for genuine ones
ocratic State senator was returned as
elected over his republican competitor.
The leader in that plot was an officer OF
the democratic county committee. For.
tunately the plot was discovered in time,
and Joe" Mackin languishes in prison,
while General Logan is returned to the
United States Senate. The senatorshp
from Ohio was another prize the conspir-
ators sought TO capture. The frauds and
forgeries perpetrated in Cincinnati and
Columbus in 1885 to secure a majority in
the legislature have been frequently
exposed. 1t was only through the vigil
lance aud decision OF the republicans that
the infamous plot failed and the re-elec,
ton of John Sherman was secured Had
fraud and forgery triumphed in these two
instances the next Senate of the United
States would be democratic.
Indiana was the next field of operation
OF the couspirators. That State is politi-
cally close. the maiorities appearing now
on one side and now on the other. Even
in the election of 1884. when the late Mr..
Hendricks was running for Vice President,
the democrats were able to carry it by only
6527 plurality. while four years before the
State had given much larger republican
plurality. But in order to make sure of a
democratic Legislature to choose demo-
cratic senator in place of Benjamin Hsrri-
son the State was cut up into legislative
districts in such manner as to make the
election of a republican Legislature appar-
entity impossible. The people, however.

majority on joint ballot. But. defeated at

endeavoring to count out legally elected
republicans and in their places to return
fraudulently elected democrats. Here are
three cases where the proof of democratic
fraud and forgery has been of the most
fragrant character. Is any further evil

PrOpagating Fish.
THE FRocEss OF GATHERING SPAwH DE-
scRIBED- LAKE HURON FOR
MATERIAL.

The season for gathering spawn at the CAL
edonia State hatchery for 1869 opened
Sept. %, saws Seth Green in the American
Angler. The salmon trout are the first spawn
ers on the grounds. 1t 10 an interesting
sight to see the great fellows handled, some
Of them weighing from fourteen to sixteen
pounds each. They enter the spawning races
at night, and il is at that time the spawn is
taken. The raceways are kept covered con-
tinuallv, and at night between and 8 O'Clock
the net, with long canvass bag, is put into
the raceway made for its reception. The
covers over the race are then raised and the
fish drawn into the net BY aeitating the water
with long poles, commencing at tine head and
working down slowly toward the net. The
frame of the net is then raised, which secures
the fish, and the net raised bodily from the
water and the frame placed over a large
wooden tank filed with water The bag of
the net is then lifted up and the fish emptied
out. The assistants then handle them as rap
idly as possible, selecting the ripe females
and throwing the unrpe ones back into the
pond again for further development. While
one ho DIS the lantern in position TO throw the
light into the pans, the others manipulate the
fish. II requires two persons to take the
spawn from the large fsh one holding the

them, great caution being exercised In ham
ding them carefully so as not to inJure them.
The spent fish are placed into hand
barrow filled with water and carried to q
separate Enclosure so as to prevent them
entering the races night after night on a
useless errand.
After the spawn has been taken, the pans
into which it has been stripped, are removed
to the hatchery and placed on the hatchery
trays made for their reception. There are
frequently more fish in the racewav than can
be taken at one time, in which event a screen
is slipped into grooves in front of the net
before it is raised. and the operation repeated
as above described until all the fish have
been handled.
During the height of the spawning season
the screen is again slid into the grooves of
the race way before daylight, aud the spawn
is taken again from the surplus fish.
We have up to October ID, succeeded in
taking 1856, 100 spawn. The salmon trout
will continue spawning through the greater
part of this month and we shall probably take
between 600, 900 and 800, 900 spawn. judging
from previous seasons
On Oct. 7, Messrs. Jonathan Mason: E. L.
Marks, Z. F Boehm and John Roberts,
assistants to the Caledonia hatchery, left for
Lake Huron for the purpose of gathering
salmon trout and whitefsh spawn, and will
probably be absent until the middle Of
November. If they are favored with fair
weather they will without doubt obtain =
large supply of spawn, the young. fry of
which will be distributed among the inland
lakes of this State during the coming season.

Poor Workmanship.

About o'clock yesterday morning ?. II,
Finnigan was among the visitors to Chris
Dryers saloon, at Second and L streets.
and was engaged in shaking dice with her.
A dispute arose over the game, and the
barkeeper, Grant Pitman. took the woman's
part. Affairs became too hot for Finnigan,
who went out, smashed pane of glass in
the door, and left. About half an hour af-
forwards he returned, and the woman, see
ing that he meant war endeavored to pre-
vent his entering. The slight resistance
she made gave Pitman time to leave by
another door. Finnigan followed him
with big pistol, and shot at him when
they were only few yards apart. Pitman
ran down Second street towards NJ and
tinnigan fired four more shots at him, but
failed to hit, and fortunately, the street
having few occupants at that early hour,
did no mischief. The shooter then went
away, reloaded his pistol and returned to a
corner opposite the saloon, and stood there,
pistol in hand, watching for the barkeeper.
Information was sent to the police office,
and officer Kent, who was just reporting
Tor duty at the morning trains. went to
hunt him up. He had left his post of OBJ
servation at that time, but the officer sub
sequently arrested him at Second and X
streets. \ charge of assault to murder has
been entered against him. He claims that
Pitman threw him down and abused him
in the saloon.

IT Cuts Both WAYS.

a Sacramento drummer paid a visit &c
the town of Tehama last week, and on his
arrival put up at the - Hotel. Shortly
afterwards he called on one of his custom
ers and solicited an order Where are
you stopping ?" was the merchants query
% AT the -" was the commercial tourists
answer. Well" replied the merchant
you can't sell any Of yonr goods here
You are putting up at boycotted house

Two ether stores were visited, with like re-
suits. The drummer became discouraged
retraced his steps to the --, paid his bill
and removed his grip-sack 10 another hotel
which was placarded all over with No
Chinese employed here" Again he saun-
tered out, and called upon the lead
ing store in the town, where he
was cordially greeted. When he asked
for an order the merchant asked
what hotel he was putting up at Think
ing he was solid this time, he replied
At little hotel up town that is labeled

"Well. you can get out of here, too. We

Metronolitan Theater.

The extravaganza, Widow O'Brien, -
was played last night to a good house. The
company comes from the Tiyoli, San
Francisco. It embraces William Court
right, an old-time and always popular min
strel performer who created the part he
has in this play years ago; d. b. Bedell, a
tenor ballad singer: Nellie Auds, soprano
r. d. Vilerga, baritone; Louie Giroux. con-
tralto Lula Ward, soprano; John Will
Jams, j. II. Mack basso, and Jas T. Kelly,
kv comedian. The latter assumes the
Character of Widow O'Brien, and proves TO
be a low comedian of much merit The
play is-with some modification OF the
lines-the same presented here some years
ago under the title " Fun on the Bristol
While it is humorous and absurd and full
of action, ii is not so complete as the origi-
nal, nor did il meet with so generous a re-
ception. The company does not embrace
the Bell Ringers, as the display of pictures
at the theater front would imply it does.
The management cannot afford to promise
that il does not perform. The same troupe,
with one or two exceptions in the cast, is
the same that played the extravaganza to
crowded houses in San Francisco for four
weeks, which may be taken as a measure of
its capacity to amuse. The people" in il
are capable, and Mr.. Kelly and Billy Court
right are inimitable low comedians. The
three ladies are handsome, musical and
viyacious, and the orchestra is good The
second and third acts are given with
scenery new here, and that very neatly
turns the stage into steamers cabin To
night the piece will be given again, and to-
morrow afternoon there will be a ST. Pat
rick Day matinee performance.

An Interesting Point.

A year or SO ago Jerome Willard was
brought here from San Francisco by the
prosecution to interpret in the case of
Mock Soon and other Cinnamon, who were
on trial in the Superior Court for riot The
Board of Supervisors refused to allow the
bills he presented for the service, one being
in the sum of $780, and the other for a
larger amount. Subsequently. however,
Ed. NJ. Martin, acting as Millard's attor-
ney, compromised with the Supervisors on
smaller sums. Willard now claims that he
only authorized Martin to collect for the
larger amount, and not for the other. in
which latter case the attorney accepted 800
for the $3.50 claimed. In consequence suit
was recently commenced by Willard in
Justice Haines' Court against the county of
Sacramento, to recover the $40, and the
matter came up for hearing yesterday,
Grove j. Johnson appearing for the plain
tiff, and District Attorney Buckley for the
defense. Plaintiff denied having given au-
thority to Martin to collect, as stated above
and claimed that to make such an author
ization legal it should have been in writ
ing, and there was no evidence that such a
document had been given. Justice Haines
took the matter under advisement, and
gave the District Attorney two days in
which to produce authorities on the sub
ject. If the point is held good, it will be
apt to revolutionize the present general
custom of making collections by clerks and
others who do not carry written authority

the sales by growers direct to dealers in the

OF our extensive fruit supply which will
lessen the number of buyers and in their

perience will verify his prediction.
