fornia Senatorial Contest.
SACRAMENTO. Cal, March 17.-After
conference held last evening De
Young'sl friends decided to withdraw
his name i'll favor of FELTON,. The JOINT
ballot to-day resulted as follows: Estee,
As; FELTON,. So; Blanchard, 2; Johnston,
4; Perkins, /; White, q. Necessary to
choice, IS. An adjournment was then
taken till tomorrow. Itbecame known
last night that after several conferences
between FELTON, and De Young,in which
the former expressed doubt as to his
ability to carry the election and offered
to withdraw in De YOung'S favor, he was
persuaded from so doing, on the ground
that De Young had himself decided to
withdraw from the contest. The mo-
tive from the latter's decision, he stated.
was the information, which he believed
to be true, that improper offers had
been made to some of his supporters,
and the knowledge that. while it was
apparently impossible for him to secure
the support of all of FetOn's ana
Bianchard's adherents, it would be pos
sible for him to transfer a larger part of
his own following to FELTON,, whom he
favored as against the other contest
ants. 1t was, there fore, believed that
days ballot, but the result showed EStee
had gained sufficien mt supporters TO give
him IL votes, which represents
i-one-half of the total Republican
vote iii both houses and Within sixteen
OF the total vote required to elect SEN
ator. FELTON, gained %, making him
total of IS. Blanchard received Q. John
StOn 4, and Perkins l. After the con-
yention adjourned rumors of attempted
bribery were openly published. Both
San Francisco evening papers charge
that Attorney General Hart has in his
possession evidence tending to impli-
cate number Of legislators A docu-
ment torn into pieces is said to have
been found and pasted together which
contains list of those who were to re-
celve money. The memorandum was
written on MANILA pad and the i'm
preston went through on the lower
sheet. In connection with the memo
randum were found wrappers from a
Fresno bank. showing that they had
been torn from the money. Io-day's
sensation is based on the discovery of
certain pieces of papers in the waste
basket il the office OF the state libra
rian.
w. S. Leake, assistant state librarian,
is quoted as saying that at 8 O'Clock
this morning two assemblymen, who
had been supporting De Young, but
who to-day voted for FELTON,. came into
the state libsarian's private Office and
made some figures on a manila pad.
which they afterward tore up, and
which he collected and turned over to
some of the lieutenants of Estee.
From these papers the inference is
given out that they definitely disclose
that s21 600 was drawn from the Fresno
bank and the list of names of the as
semblymen against whose names the
amounts are written have received
money. Attorney General Hart ac-
knowledges that he has the papers in
his possession, but declines, for public
reasons, to make all the facts known at
this time

witness called at the second days SEES
sion of the Capt. Galley court martial.

fled as to Capt. Galley applying for sick
leave when the company was ordered
into the field, although he had not COM
planned of illness previous to that time.

space in your paper TO give what l
know to be the status of this interest

present law, that forfeits both
principal and interest, and the
only effect it has had on the
money question has been to make bank

from it. On the contrary, it makes an

Under this law, l have known farmers

they tell you, ''Why, / had to do that or
worse, and if l don't pay as agreed to

who has ever raised his voice against

COLORADO AVALANCHE.
Three Miners Lose Their Lives on
Treasury Mountain.

CRESTED BUTTE, Col, March ~
Another snow slide horror was report
ed this morning. This time it is the
Eureka mine, on Treasury mountain.
Charles Devine, j. C. McQuarry and
Joseph Mccullough, the entire force OH
the mine, were killed, and their bodies
are covered by the snow. S. c. Robin
sOn.who is having the property worked,
went up there yesterday from here and
found the living cabin locked up and in
good shape; but the men were gone, and
the suppositiOn is that they had started
to come down. 1t is a case very similar
to the Streador mine disaster. 1t is not
known when they were killed or where
to look for the bodies, and it is not at
all unlikely that their remains will STAY
under the snow until the bare ground
in the summer reveals them.
