MILLS NOW A SENATOR.
OHILroN LEFT HIM THE FIELD By
wITHDRA WING

How the News Was Received IN Wash
ington-The New Victory In Texas
Consoles Him for His Defeat for the
Speeksrship-He VIII Vote on silver
and Speak on the Tariff Before In
tering the Senate.
Q. Mills is happy man tonight He did
not want to be speaker half so much as he
wanted to be senator. It had been his am
bition for years. and be was actually pre-
pairing to be candidate for the Senate last
spring, when he was persuaded by the tariff
reform leaders of the party TO become q
candidate for speaker. Now that he has
been trlumphantly elected for theunexpired
term ending In March next, and is likely TO
succeed himself, he would be able TO forget
the outcome OF the speakership fight II it
were not for the plight his party finds itself
In in the House.
A CONSOLATION.
Still, Senator Mills, who had left the caps
itol early, heard this evening how, when
Mr.. Tracey interrupted the silver debate to
read the telegram announcing Representa-
tive Mills election this afternoon, and both
sides. in fact. everybody except Representa-
tive Culberson, applauded for a full min
ute, Representative Mills was happy.
Telegram after telegram OF congratulations
came in all through the afternoon and
evening. and friend after friend. 1t was
interesting 10 see his ieutenants In the
speakership fight congratulate him on his
victory and at the same time recall how
easily they might have won victory for him
in the spsakership fight IL he had been will
ing that they should make bargains. But
they agreed with him that it is better for
him personally 20 be In the Senate.
TO SPEAK ON THE TARIFF.
He will not 20 there at once. He wants
90 make speech on the tariff first In the
House IN order to help his party out when
the tariff debate Ii resumed after the silver
discussion is over. He will vote, too, II a
vote Is had on the silver question. Some
OF his colleagues advised him to resign his
seat IN the House to morrow and go TO the
Senate as Boon as his credentials arrive, 80
as to avoid the silver vote, but he
charaoteristically put this advice aside
and ts ready to face a vote, which would
not have come up il he had been elected
speaker. For twenty years Mr.. Mills was
returned to congress practically without
opposition in his own party. so that his
practically unanimous election 30 the Senate
Including the vote OF the only republican, +,
a negro, did not surprise him.
Among the kilograms received by Repre-
sentative Mills was one from Hoke s NTH
aud others OF Atlanta rendering him q
banquet. He will decline.

MINERS PLEASED,
A Good Mineral Exhibit for the World's
Fair.

A Good Mineral Exhibit for the Worlds
Fair.
There was meeting of the Worlds Fair
commissioners yesterday of great impor-
lance to the mining interests Of the State.
The question to be decided was whether or
not California miners should be represented
at the Worlds Fair.
On the awarding of space lin the depart
ment building at Chicago 2200 square feet
was given to California for her mining ex-
hlDlt The space was considered ample
compared favorably with other mining
States.
The Commissioners of this State set
about to consider what kind of an exhibit if
any they could get before the space was
accepted. Not very encouraging reports
were received from various localities. and
there seemed to be probability of aban-
doning the idea of mining exhibit, as there
was considerable Indifference expressed,
owing to the closing down of the hydraulic
mines. kilograms passed between this
coast and Chicago in regard to the matter.
the dlrector-general desiring to know il
california was going to take the space or
not.
When the miners convention met re-
Gently in this city the subject of a mining
exhibit at Chicago was discussed. and when
1t was learned that the mining space had
not yet been accepted there was a sort of
CONSERVATION among the gold and silver
diggers. The subject did not occupy the at
tention OF the convention as body, but was
one of the leading topics of the men as ind-
viduals. When il became known that there
was great danger Of California mines hav-
ing no representation at the Column an Ex-
position, the members began to bestr them
selves, and at once besieged the officers of
the Worlds Fair Commission making offers
to exhibit, and urging that the space be &C.
cepted.
Since the miners returned to their homes
many have sent encouraging reports to the
Worlds Fair Commissioners of the pros
poets of their districts making exhibits cred
liable to the reputation of California as
mining State.
Since these encouraging reports were re-
ceived the Mining Bureau and Academy of
Sciences have both manifested an interest
in the subject of CALIFORNIA; mining exhibit
at Chicago, and each one has agreed 20 ma
terially assist the Commissioners. 1t is
probable that q portion of the best minerals
of the Mining Bureau and the Academy of
Sciences will be sent TO Chicago.
When these encouraging reports were re-
ceiyed the Worlds Fair Commissioners de-
termined to accept the space allotted TO Cali
fornia for her mining Interests. Accord
ingly they met yesterday to hear the report
OF Secretary Thompson of the condition of
affairs and accepted the space.

the directOr-general at Chicago that the
space had been accepted by the commission

the matter.

Assistant Superintendent Frank III. La NIB

yesterday, but l am thankful to say we are
getting out of our difficulties pretty well.
Our worst difficulties now are 10 the

In the bay on Wednesday night tore our
cable loose. and we have had TO work with

soon have that difficulty fixed because we
strung nine wires along the mole Oh the
fence that will help us out all right.

but the storm threw that down to-day aud
we have been left for part of the DAY with
out any communication there.
Fortunately we have our wires with the
East working all right by the southern route
and also by way of Portland. and we have
one direct wire 10 Chicago on which we
have a Wheatstone instrument, SO that we
have been able to handle all the CONNER
clal business that came along without any
great trouble.

the mountains, and | am mOmentarily ex-
pecting TO hear that communication has
been re-estabished.
at will be a somewhat longer Job to fix
up matters on the Oakland mole, but il will
soon be done. We shall not have such high
poles as in the past, so that there will be
less danger of their being blown down.
