remains unapprsachable in her

NJ. 4. De YOUNG
WITHDRAWS.
He Is Convinced That lie Was
Never in the Fight.
1 Deal by Which He Will Try to De-
liver His Supporters 10 FELTON,
EStee Is COmplaiSaGt and Thinks he Will
Gather in Few Of the Votes.
Blanchard Remains Firm.
Epeeial TO THE MORNING CALL.

SACRAMENTO, March 17.-The vote at
noon showed De Young that his hopes of
ever filling the chair made vacant by Hearsts
death were chimeras born of his vanity.
1t is probable that he knew his weak
ness before this vote was taken and was
willing to give up the fight If certain conces-
sions were made to him.
For instance, 1t is said that he met John
d. Spreckels at the Palace Hotel Sunday
and agreed to withdraw from the fight on
condition that he be given permission to say
to whom his following should be trans
ferrcd Subsequent events prove that there
was some truth in this report.
A long conference was held between his
heutenants and Felton's this evening, and
shortly after midnight John P. Young,
who has labored industriously for his chief,
announced that NJ. Il. de Young had with
drawn and would turn his followers over to
FELTON,.
Young stated that twenty-seven members
were ready to vote for the Chronicles pro-
prietor tomorrow. but that they would, in
accordance with the agreement, add their
votes 10 Felton's fourteen.
But De Young cannot deliver the goods

be would have had but 20 will go to FELTON,.
These will probably include Dibble, who is
the ablest polite an in the Assembly, and
most of the San Francisco delegation.
The remainder will 90 to Estee. Blan-
chard holds the balance of power. but it is
more than likely that 1t will drop from his
fingers tomorrow, for eight of his twelve
supporters are ready 10 go over to Estee,
and the man from Napa believes that his
score will run up from 81 to 80.
He is very confident tonight and asked
your correspondent to say for him that
neither money nor railroad influence will be
used for him. 1t is probable that the De
Young contingent will vote for their de-
feated candidate on the first ballot, and then
divide between Estee and FELTON,.
The Blanchard men held a meeting yes
terday afternoon and decided that they
would also stay by their chief on the first
ballot. sThe Democrats caucused tonight
and decided to nominate Stephen NJ. White

tor will be elected to-day or Wednesday,
and that the Legislature will adjourn sine

a DISTRESSING CASE.
Two Sisters Committed to the Insane Asylum
at Stockton.

Two Sisters Committed to the Insane Asylum
at Stockton.
STOCKTON, March 16.-Two young women
named McDermott, one q and the other q
years of age, were committed to the asylum
yesterday under peculiarly distressing cir
cumstances. Five years ago the eldest girl
became insane through illness. The other
visited the insane patient, and on seeing her
manacled herself became instantly crazy.
Both recovered after several months treat
ment, and have been with their parents in
this city until yesterday. A week ago
the youngest woman became again mentally
weak and was treated by physicians. Last
Friday the eldest sister suddenly lost her
reason. The popularity of the cases lies in
the fact that the youngest first went insane
through seeing her sister crazy and four
years afterward the older girls insanity
suddenly returned through seeing her
younger sister crazy. The doctors think
there is great affinity between the two
girls and that to keep them separate will
help both The doctors believe that both
will be restored to health by few months
treatment
