PARTY CAUCUsEs.

The Republicans Decide Not to Put Up
y Candidate for Senator.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10.-A joint Repub-
lican caucus held tonight, with closed
doors, practically decided that nothing
should be done as to unit vote in the
matter of casting complimentary vote
for United States senator to succeed
FELTON,, unless the Populists should come
over to the Republican side. Then a
caucus would be held to consider what
should be done.
In the matter OF appointing a state
librarian to succeed Perkins, ifthe latter
is removed, Carpenter of Los Angeles
moved that a committee consisting
OF three Democrats, three Populists and
three Republicans from the two houses
be appointed to select board of FIVE
trustees, who should select librarian.
The motion was laid ON the table.
Another motion was introduced that a
conference on the matter should be held
with the Populists. Nothing definite
was arrived at and the caucus adjourned
with prospect OF another.
The Peoples party caucus tonight is
reported as having renewed their alle-
glance to Gator as the candidate of the
party for United States senator.

LESS HASTE, THE MORE SPEED,
The Legislature Settling Down
to Steady Work.
Considerable Business Disposed of at
Yesterdays Session.
Five Constitutional Amendment Bills
Introduced in the Senate Two
Of Them by Mathews
Republican Caucus.

By the Associated Pressl
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10.-There was less
haste manifested by the legislature in
carrying on it's work today than was
displayed yesterday, but considerable
business was disposed Of before adjourn
ment. The committees began organizing
today and hereafter much of the legisla-
ture's work will be mapped out in the
committee rooms.
PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
In the senate there have already been
introduced five bills proposing amend
ments to the state constitution. One by
Gesford of Napa provides that the jury
in cases OF civil action may consist OF IL
or of any less number upon which the
it must consist of IL. In civil action
three-fourths of the jury, and in crimi-
nal cases less than felony, five. .sixths,
may render verdict.
Another bill of the same general tenor
provides that three-fourths of a jury
may render verdict in either civil or
criminal trials.
An amendment proposed by Mathews
provides for the taxation of all prop
erty in the state not exempt by federal
law, the word property to include
moneys, bonds. stocks, franchises and
all other things, real or personal, cave
growing. crops, mortgages, trust deeds
and public property.
Also one providing thatno new county
shall be formed 40 as to reduce any
county to q population OF lees than
5000 or an area of less than 400 square
miles; nor shall any new county con-
tain less than 5000 people. Any county
formed shall assume it's proportion of
the existing county debt.
The amendment proposed by Ragedaie
embodies the educational qualification
voted favorably upon at the last election.
Mathews proposes an amendment
that the state board OF equalization
shall consist of one member from each
congregational district in the state.
KICK AGAINST HAYES.
In the senate today Ostrom's protest
against the nomination of Daniel Hayes
OF San Francisco as state prison director,
vice Irwin Stump, resigned, bade fair to
lead to some discussion, but when Ma
honey OF San Francisco stated that the
nominee, though engaged in mechan-
1cal Industry, was also interested in
agriculture and had farm in the state,
Ostrom's protest proved unavailing and
the appointee was confirmed.
THE CAHINETTI RESOLUTION.
Price of Butte today had the concur
rent resolution favoring Caminetti's
mining and river bill sent to the gov
ernor without enrolment, and the ex-
pense of telegraphing it to Washington
was ordered paid out of the contingent
fund of the assembly.

DEMOCRATS ENJOYING THE FUN.
A Grave Situation Copfronts the Kansas
Legislature.

A Grave Situation CoDfronts the Kansas
Legislature.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 10.-The fight for
United States senator is fairly on. A
grave situation confronts the Kansas
legislature. Amid the most intense ex-
element and the greatest uproar two
separate organizations were perfected in
the house today. The two houses both
organized at the same time and the
same place, and both held session in
the representative hall this evening.
The Democrats held aloof and enjoyed
the fun.
The house is composed of 125 MEM
bers. OF these SO, or a majority OF
one, hold certificates of election
and compose the Republican house,
claiming their organization is the only
legal one. The Populists number 81,
but claim that those members whose
seats are contested have no right to par
ticpate in the preliminary proceedings
or pass upon their own qualifications
The Repu blicanH organized with ma
jority, and will doubtless be upheld by
the courts if the matter goes 80 far. The
session is limited by the statutes to 80
days, and the Republicans say they will
hold the fort all that time, if necessary
to carry their point.
| The governor has not as vet recog-
nized either house. He received q COM
mittee from both houses, but informed
| them that he had no communication to
| transmit to the bodies which sent them
to him. He will doubtless recognize
| the Populist house, and the adjutant-
general will assist the sergeant at arms
in removing the Republicans from the
| representative hall. They say they will
not resist the militia, and will withdraw
quietly to another hall, where they will
maintain their organization. So the
| matter stands.
The Populists bave decided to Join in
no conference looking to a compromise
of the disagreement between the two
parties. Congressman Simpson this
evening, in an interview, said the Popu-
lists plans were matured and they had
arranged to put the wheels of legislation
| into immediate operation tomorrow
morning. When asked what action
the Populists would take il the fight
was taken to the supreme court
by the Republicans and decided against
| the Populists, he said: "If the SUI
preme court decides that the laws passed
by the representatives of the people in
legislature assembled illegal, euch action
will be revolutionary and the court will
lay itself liable to imprisonment. and
we will irnpeach them, too, if they take
| any such action"

choice of seven-tenths of the Democracy

telegram, dated Washington, January
10th:
To William f. Sheehan:
