Withdraws from the Race.
Stephen NJ. White Now Practically
Has Walk Over.
"Our steve" States His Position In

Refuted.

BY the Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1.-The following
letter was made public tonight:
Hon. III. F. EMERIc: Since reaching
Sacramento and surveying the field, l
have become satisfied that my further
candidacy for senator might result in
injury to the Democratic party of the
country. The fact thst our party has
not clear majority in the legislature
complicates the senatorial election to
that extent, in my opinion, that my
continuance as candidate might
possibly result in the election
TO the United States senate OF
some one who is not in accord with
the political principles to which you
and l are devoted; and in the present
condition of the parties in the senate,
such result might prove national
disaster. l thank you and others of my
friends for the cordial and effective sup
port you have given me, and beg leave
to withdraw my name from further con-
sideration in connection with the sena-
torship. Your friend,
a w. W. FooTE.

BLAINE MUCH BETTER,
The Sick Man Has OutIived the {
Year.

The Sick Man Has Outlived the Old
Year.
WASHINGTON, Jan. /. Blaine is much
better. DR.. Johnston said this morning
that the fact that Blaine lived the old
year out and witnessed the corning of
the new surprised many who had means
of knowing just how i'll he has been,
and who also know hoT sick he is today.
Sick as Blaine is, he exhibits mu ch of
the wonderful will power and nerve
that carried him through more than
one crisis. In these latter days he ex-
hibits less dependency over his physi-
cal condition than characterized him
when he was much stronger than today.
There have been times when he dis
cussed plans for the future. especially
those OF literary nature. 1t il under
stood that in case he should not be able
to carry out certain of his literary plans
he has arranged to have the papers re-
lating to public matters, in his posses.
sion, edited and published at the proper
time.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-2 AS G. H. Mr..
Blaine's apartments are in darkness aud
all is quiet in the neighborhood of the
house.

MIR. WHITES POSITION.

Slanders and Arguments Against His
Candidacy Refuted.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-Stephen M.
White has written an eight-column let
ter to the Morning Call, explaining his
position on the senatorial question, and
refuting the charges that have been
made against him. In answer to the
charge that he is railroad attorney,
Mr.. White says: II am not an attorney
of the Southern Pacific or any other
railroad corporation. On the contrary
the only railroad litigation nov pending
wherein am interested are suits in
which represent parties adverse to the
corporation. These suits were in
stituted in 1883 and / filed an answer in
1889. The assertion that I am a rail-
road attorney probably arose from the
fact that during small portion Of the
period covered by the existence of the
firm of Bics nell & White, that co part
nership transacted some legal bus
mess for the Southern Pacific company.
We dissolved moIe than four years ago,
and my partner took that business with
him at my request. With the excep-
tion of a few suits which were attended
to before the dissolution of the firm
never have had any transaction either
with the Southern Pacific company, nor
with any of its stockholders or collat-
eral corporations, nor have ] any busi-
ness or other connection with these in
stitutions."
Speaking of the charge that he op-
posed that part of the resolution at the
Fresno convention favoring the abolition
of the railroad commission, Mr.. White
says: 81 did go thinking was acting
for the best interests of the people,"
Mr.. White argues at length in defense
of his action that It ia impossible for
any legislature, in the limited
session of go days, to at
tend to the regulation of railroad
matters, and if the people will, they can
elect capable railroad commissioners to
look after their interests. Mr.. White
says: 81 am willing to record myself
as declaring that if it be true we cannot
regulate these corporations by means
of a commission, there is but
one way to deal with them,
and that is we must run
them ourselves. do not mean that we
shall confscate the property if we cam
not settle the matter through the pres
ent channels, but we must provide for
transportation which will not absorb
the profits of agriculture and the results
of the efforts of toll"
Mr.. White refers to his record during
the campaigns, and his career in the
state legislature, on railroad questions,
and says: GAS far as national affairs are
concerned, if am chosen, will en-
deavor to see that the railroad main
tains it's contract with the government. :"
Referring to the statement published
that if elected United States senator he
would favor the southern part of Cali
fornia to the detriment of other sec
tions, Mr.. White says: 81 be-
lieve that an officer chosen by
whole state is in duty bound to be
fair and impartial in conferring such
favors as he may have to give and in the
discharge of his obligations. My aim
will be to attend to the interests of the
commonwealth from San Diego to Del

PANIc-sTKIcKEN SPORTS.
To Escape Arrest They Jumped from a
Third-storY WindoW.


Third-story window.
Norwich, Ct., Jan. 1.-While cock
fight was in progress last night in a
third-story room of the Miantonomah
hotel, a squad OF police surrounded the
house and demanded admittance to the
room. Then ensued panic and fight
on the part OF 100 men to escape.
Without q moments hesitation the
whole company plunged through door
st ti1s rear OF the room and amid sounds
of crashing panes OF glass and splintered
sashes, dived headlong. three stories, to
the grou nd. Some fell on the tops of
carriages and three or four on the backs
of frightened horses. Most of the men
escaped serious injury and fled down
the country roads and across the snowy
fields, but some lay helpless on the
ground. One. Edward Walsh, struck
projecting ledge and his ekull was
crushed in from above the temple to the
lower jawbone. He died instantly.
Another man had an arm broken and
four others are nursing broken legs.
The police arrested seven men, including
the cripples, but most of them were re.
leased on bonds.

HALLWAY STATISTICS.
enormous Earnings of the Principal
American Roads.

Enormous Earnings of the Principal
American Roads.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The prelimi-
nary report on the income and expendi-
ture of railways for the year ended June
30, 1892, compiled by the statistician to
the interstate commerce commission,
will be made public soon. The gross
earnings of 12S.349 90 miles of railway
are shown to have been $951, ,O25, ,159,
from which the gross earnings OF the
entire railway system is estimated to
have been 81 ,222. I'll sos, an increase of
$l26 ,960,3 over the earnings of the
prevlous year, or an increase of $8OS
per mile.
The operating expenses for the year
were s6l4,722, ,0S2, an increase of $82,-
S34, ,lS9, which leaves an increase in net
earnings OF $44, ,l16,114, or $2472 per
mile. The actual increase in revenues
from the passenger service was $751;
500,03S, or $247 per mile, as against an
increase in revenues from freight SER
vice OF s91, ,506,671, or $349 per mile of
line.
The railways which show the largest
increase in gross earnings per mile are
the lines connecting the wheat-growipg
territory with the seaboard, and in the
southern states bordering on the Gulf
OF Mexico. 1t ia significant, however,
to notice on the railways there was an
increase in operating expenses nearly
equal to the increase in gross receipts.
The report shows aggregate gross
earnings of So roads OF 1874, AIS, ,S3I, be-
ing an average income of $12,Sl4, III, an
average gross revenue per mile for all
the roads of $S840. A classification Of
the 81 roads in question shows that
eight receive each an income in excess
OF $40, 900 per mile, while the income for
each OF the remainder is less than $744S
per mile.
The density of passenger and freight
traffic is also given for roads whose gross
revenues exceed $3,G00,000, from which
it appears that in some pats of the
country there has been healthy ex-
pansion of trade during the last two
years, while in other parts the increase
in traffic in 1892 does little more than
balance the loss of traffic in 1891.

A FERRY BOAT FIRE.
The Steamer TiburOn Burned to the
Waters Edge.

The Steamer Tiburon Burned to the
Waters Edge.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-The ferry
boat Tiburon, one of the largest on San
Francisco bay, was totally destroyed by
fire this afternoon. The loss is $140,-
600, insurance $4,000. The Tiburon
connected with the trains of the San
Francisco and North Pacific, at Tiburon,
on the Marin county shore, and had ar
rived from Tiburon at IL 40 p. m, with
large number of passengers. At
O'Clock fire was discovered. The flames
spread go rapidly that nothing could be
done to save the boat as she lay tied to
the wharf. 1t is supposed the fire etart-
ed in the boats kitchen, as there was
hot fire in the range. The boat would
have left at l 80 O'Clock for Tiburon with
anosher large load of passengers, and
had the fire broken out few minutes
sooner or later than it did, frightful
catastrophe would have been the result.
Later-The damage to the ferry boat
is now estimated at 0,c00.; fully COW
cred by insurance.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-The old year
was closed last night by a unique and
terrible tragedy by which Sidney Nc
Coy. young lawyer, aged 80, lost his
life, and Miss Grace King, aged 10, is in
a precarious condition. A party of
friends, numbering about 30, assembled
last night at McCoy's, ON Guerrero
street, to watch the old year out and
the new year in. The feature of the
entertainment was the production of a
short play written by Mccoy and per-
formed by amateurs. The plot of the
play was the betrayal of band of
Russian Nihilists by one of their
number. The Nihilists discover the
traitoress, a young woman, and con-
denim her to death. They decide by lot
who shall perform the execution, and
the duty fell to the character portrayed
by Mccoy. Miss King played the part
of the traitoress. She ia given the
choice of being killed or stabbing her.
self, and chooses the latter alternative.
Mccoy handed her stout dagger which
had been in the family for years. In
the play the girl, instead of killing her
self, was to stab her executioner, and as
she received the knife, Miss King leaned
forward to touch Mccoy on the breast
with the knife. at the same instant
Mccoy started toward the girl, who
stumbled, and falling forward with the
dagger in her hand drove it through Nc
Coy's heart. Mccoy showed wonderful
vitality and presence OF mind. He
walked into the next room and asked
for doctor, and then fell dead.
The girl knew there had been an acci-
dent of some kind, but did not know
Mccoy was killed. She was taken
home and afterwards, on the advice of
friends, gave herself up to the police
She was taken to the city prison at
O'Clock in the morning, and when she
entered the prison tainted, and has
since remained unconscious. This
morning McCoy's two brothers. secured
her release by giving $1eseee bond for
her appearance. The girl was then
taken home and ia in critical condi-
tion.
The accident is explained by the fact
that recently Miss King suffered from a
aprained ankle. She had been using
crutches to walk with, but had laid
them aside to participate in the play.
AS she made the motion to stab Mccoy,
she rested her weight on her weak foot.
