.Our Eteveo Has u Clear Field for the
Senstorship.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2.-The withdrawal
of ". w. Foote from the contest for
United States senator leaves a clear
field to Stephen M. White. as far as
Democratic candidates are concerned,
for those Democrats who have had sena-
torial aspirations based them upon a
possible deadlock between these two
gentlemen, and the resultant necessity
OF taking up some other person. Foote'S
friends will, it is said, throw their
strength to White, in return
for which the latter's supporters
will back Foote to succeed Senator STAN
ford when the latter's term expires,
should the state remain in the Demo
cratic column. The strengthening of
the White forces does not materially
change the aspect of affairs as regards
the different political parties. The Pop
ulists still affect to have hopes of draw
ing the Republicans over to their ban
ner, and they are alone in this view.
The Democrats profess to have no doubt
that some of the Populists OF Democratic
antecedents will return to their early
ere, d after giving complimentary bal
lot to one of their present faith.

A SENSATIONAL QUARREL.
Ed Corrigan's Racket with a Chicago
HntaI X

Ed Corrigan's Racket with a Chicago
Hotel Keeper.
CHICAGO, Jan. IA sensational quar-
rel occurred this evening at the Yelling
ton hotel, between Edward Corrigan of
the Hawthorne race track and A. S.
Gage, proprietor of the Wellington.
Recently bell boy at the Wellington
was arrested for stealing from the guests.
He admitted his guilt and declared that
betting on horse races caused his ruin.
Gage thereupon denounced horse racing
vigorously and his remarks, which were
published, had an irritating effect on
Corrigan, who frequented the Yelling
ton. This evening Corrigan had hot
words with the clerk in securing a room,
and the matter was reported to Mr.
Gage. The latter at once wrote to Cor
rigan saying il he used the language at
tributed to him he must immediately
vacate the room to which he
was assigned. Corrigan was alec invited
to apologize. The master of Hawthorne
received the note while at the telegraph
desk, Gage being within few yards.
On reading the note Corrigan became
wild with rage and called Gage a cur
and otherwise denounced MIN. A num-
ber of Cages friends, who knew Corri-
gan's reputation as fighter, were close
by and the presence also of two police
men evidently prevented trouble. After
giving full vent to his rage Corrigan left
the office and went to his room, declar-
ing he would not give it up. Later in
the evening Corrigan reappeared, de-
manded his bill and paid it. He then
had supper and sat around the hotel
Office all the evening, with the evident
intention of showing that he would not
leaving until he was ready to do 30.

Two Hundred Prominent Citizens I'm
plicated In q Plot.

plicated in Plot
MONTEREY, Mex, Jan. 2.--The Mexi-
can government has secured positive
evidence duplicating 200 prominent
Mexicans of the state of Tamaulipas
and the Texas frontier in the present
revolutionary movement. The evidence
is In the shape of secret pronuncia-
miento distributed among those believed
to be friendly to the cause, which
charges Diaz and his cabinet with exer-
cising arbitrary power for their private
benefit, after having demoralized the
nation with their system of terrorism,
subordinstion and assassination, and
that the integrity of the nation hes been
so compromised that the American con-
gress has appointed deputy with suffi-
cient funds for the purchase of Lower
California, the same as one would make
a proposition to buy a savage island
in the ocean. The audacity and cynicism
OF President Diaz has been carried to
such an extreme as to bring bout his
indefinite re election, wherefore he is
dlsowned and pronounced a traitor to
his country. His secretary of state and
governors and military authorities, who
take up arms against the movement.
will be considered traitors and punished
accordingly. The Mexican nation is de-
ciared to be in state of sic ge and the
Mexican people are summcned TO arms.
Catarina Cara is to be known as the
supreme chief of the army, though by
reason OF the government'e persecu-
tion he will not appear at the head
of the vanguard of the revolution for
some time. Upon taking possession of
the capital of the republic Cara will
call general election for a constitu.
tional convention. which will proceed to
revise the constitution of 1857, and after
the revolution has been trium phant and
new government established all tram
mels to industry and commerce will be
removed. True sovereignty will be
given to the states and independence to
municipalities. Suffrage shall be free,
and there shall be no reelection of
presidents. The pronunciamiento is
signed by Prudencio Gonzales and 1876
others.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. "a little after 8
O'Clock this afternoon Harry II. Nor
gan, of the Laclede Gaslight company,
high in society, shot and badly wound
ed his brother-in-law, A. P. Edgerton.
1t cannot now be told whether he will
live or die. The parties concerned are
among the most prominent society people
in the city. Morgan is a son OF Judge
Morgan of New York. The trouble be-
gan some time back with dissentions
between Morgan and wife, Mrs. Morgan
charging her husband with subjecting
her to indignities and cruelty. He in
turn charged her with receiving atten-
tions from other men, and said he in
tended to bring suit for divorce, threat
ening to summon as correspond
ents five of the best-known So
ciety men in the city, whose names
he mentioned at the time. A truce was
declared, however, and a separation was
determined upon, the only living child
remaining with the mother. Last No
vember Morgan kidnapped the child
and Mrs. Morgan sought legal advice.
Saturday warrant was secured for
abandonment and another for abduc-
ton. A writ of habeas corpus was also
served upon Morgan requiring him to
produce the child. Tonight Edgerton,
Mrs. Morgan's brother, and Morgan
met. Hot and angry words followed.
Morgan drew pistol and fired, with the
result already told. Mrs. Morgan will
sue for divorcesand it is expected the
sensational allegations made hv the hus-
band will cake the nature of cross bill.

Delegate Andrews Thinks Some Practical
Results VIII Be Attained.
PROVIDENCE, K. L., Jan. PRESIDENT
E. Benjamin Andrews of Brown univer-
sity arrived in Providence from the
monetary conference tonight. In an in
terview with Journal reporter he ex-
pressed himself as pleased with the re-
suit Of the conference thus far, and gave
it as his conviction that some practical
result would be reached when the confer
ence reassembled. The American del
egates, he says, were very COR
daily received and treated with
much more difference even than they
had expected. DR.. Andrews said if no
other good resulted the United States
might feel herself we'll repaid by the
understanding which Europe received
that the United States would not give
up gold and adopt silver basis. The
feature of the conference 40 far, he
thought, had been the interest Great
Britain had shown in sustaining silver
by an international agreement.

The Sad Fate of Divorced Woman in
San francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. "A two-story
building on Paloma street burned this
morning, and Mrs. Johanna Hayes, the
divorced wife of Policeman Maurice
Hayes, was burned to death. The
ground floor Of the building was occu-
pied by the stable of Mckay & Leach,
teamsters, while the rooms above were
occupied by Mrs. Murphy, with whom
Mrs. Hayes had been celebrating New
Years. Iti thought that the fire was
caused by the breaking of a lamp, as an
explosion was heard before the flames
burst from the windows. Mrs Murphy
clsmbered out of the window and held
to the sill until rescued by ladder from
below, but Mrs Hayes perished in bed.
The fire was communicated to the sta
bles, and go tons of hay and grain were
destroyed. The buildings were owned
by Miller & Lux. Loss, $1,000.

KANSAS LEGIsLATURE.
The Henatoria1 Fight Overshadows AL
Other Questions.

Other Questions.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 2.-1he intensity
OF interest in the fight for senator il
Kansas has practically overshadowed
questions Of legislation. The legisla
ture does not open until week hence,
and all matters regarding it's organiza
tion and probable action are in choatic
state. Both senatorial and legislative
questions hinge upon the organization
OF the house. The Republicans have a
bare majority of one in the house and
there seems to be every reason to believe
that they will succeed in the organiza-
tion OF that branch. That done, they
will have power to unseat enough Popu-
lists TO secure q majority on
joint ballot and elect a Re-
publican successor to Senator
Perkins. On the other hand the Pop
ulists have majority in the senate of
three and will be able to unseat the en-
tire minority, II members, = necessary.
Both parties, however, discMim any in
tention of unseating anybody. In that
event the Republicans will be able to
organize the house; the Populists will
have majority of three in the senate,
and the four straight-out Democratic
three in the house and one in the senate
will hold the balance OF power on Joint
ballot, the parties in joint session being
divided, as follows: Republicans, 73 !;
Populists, 73; Democrats, 4
Senator Perkins is candidate for re-
election by the Republicans. He has
no opposition and will, without doubt,
secure the Republican caucus nomina-
tion.
There are dozen candidates who will
go before the Populist caucus. The
leaders among them now seem to be
Judge John Martin OF Topeka and
Chairman Breidenthal OF the Populist
state central committee. Mrs. Lease ia
not seriously a candidate. She has sig
nified her acceptance of place on the
state board of charities. and that is re-
garded as disposing of her senatorial
ambition. She has naively announced,
however, that she will resign from the
board of charities if che is elected to
represent the state in the senate.
The situation, as regards the senate
rial fight, will be further complicated
tomorrow when it becomes certain that
the Republicans favor fusion with the
iPopulists. If such step should become
necessary to defeat any plan having for
its object the election of Democrat.
A dispatch from Wichita states that
such proposition was canvassed in the
soGth -est end met with favor.
