POLITICAL GUESSES.
Candidates Who Are Taking Fights
on Their Own Accounts.

VII OWh 1AAOuntS.
Everybody around town had something
TO say yesterday about Federal appoint
ments. but no.-one wished to place himself
on record in an official way.
The main talk was on The Senatorial fight.
which has simmered down to White, Cole
man and Foote.
Among prominent Democrats Steve White
seems 10 be the choice and would receive the
popular vote, but those closely connected
with the inner workings of the party say it
VIII De between Coleman and Foote, be.
tween whom it will be a hard fixht.
FOote. who has done the most work of the
TWO In the late campaign, thinks he has a
good cnance to win and is pulling the
strings accordingly.
Coleman's friends say. however. that he
is the strongest man and will be backed
from all parts OF the State
w. ID. English has no Senatorial aspira-
tons Whatever and will give his support to
Foote when the time comes.
lie does not care for any of the Federal
oihces, either, IL what his friends say is
true, put VIII lie back aud reserve his
strength for the gubernatorial fight two
years from now, In which he expects to get
the nomination.
The general opinion Is that be will, and is
the strongest candidate of the party.
In regard to other places. William Hoff
COOK Is making strong fight for the United
States District Attorneys office, and claims
that he has the backing of some of the mos /
prominent Democrats on the coast. bnt re-
fuses to give their names for the present.
Ii Is suspected that John L. Irish is the
man who Will indOrse him for the place.
and this makes his chances exceedingly
good. as Irish stands very high in the esti
nation of Mr.. Cleveland and his advisers.
For the other Offices a new man crops up
every day, and nobody seems to know what
IN fnn - ~
have; but the general opinion of the differ
ent leaders is that those making their fights
now are doing 1t on their own account, and
will have to 60 against a regular slate
which will be made gu: by Pepper, Sullivan
and others and forwarded to the President
for his approval.
William i. Coleman is mentioned for the
Office Of Collector Of the Port.

STARTED TOO SOON.
An Accident on the Castro Street Line
of Cars.


A cable-ear accident, In which Mrs.
Frank Peckham of 221 Mason street and
her infant son narrowly escaped being
killed. occurred at the corner or Market
and Fourteenth streets shortly after 8
o'clock last night.
Mrs Peckham was passenger on car 131
of the Castro-street line and when she
reached the corner of Fourteenth street sig
nailed the gripman to stop.
She carried the child in her arms and at
tempted TO alight when the gripman sud-
denly started the car.
In some way a portion Of the child's
clothing caught in the ironwork of the
dummy and the little fellow was torn from
her arms and dragged nearly thirty feet
over the pavement before the car was
stopped.
Mrs. Peekham tainted when she saw her
little sons danger and was picked up by
Policeman Eskew, who carried her to a
neighboring drugstore, while a number OF
spectators speedily extricated the child
from It's dangerous position.
Both were taken to the Receiving
Hospital, where DR.. Deane found that the
child's right foot had been badly crushed,
while Mrs. Peekham sustained some severe
bruises about the body.

| trio timepieee contend that il is unreliable
and does not work satisfactorily at all times.
The electric system will be introduced
for the first time on this coast at the UDi-
versity of California field day.. The manner
In which 1t Is worked appears to be quite
simple. A line from the starting point to
the finish stretches along the margin of the
track. 1t connects with an electric clock,
which is in position at the finish pole. When
the starter fires his pistol the string at the
starting point is broken, thereby starting
the clock. which stops the instant the win
ner breasts the tape at the finish. 1t is
extremely doubtful IL the device will be
judged successful on this coast, as the ma
lority of the athletes appear to favor the
old system Of clocking with the hand.

stable. 6o6h Nineteenth street, last night.

building and contents. The stable was
owned by James Wherland.
