San Francisco Examiner: 1t has been
t-governor-elect to come to San
Francisco just before the Christmas of
his inauguration and take room at
one OF the hotels and see senators and
ask them as matter of courtesy what
committees they would like to have in
sneir senatorial pockets.
There has been sort OF an idea that
Spencer G. Millard of Los Angeles would
be here about this time, and nearly all
the Republican senators in the state
have bsen telegraphing to him asking
when he proposed to appear at the
Grand hotel. Mr.. Millard always regis-
tsrs at the Palace and stops at the
Grand.
So far the senstors have been unable
to obtain any replies to their kilograms.
But word comes from Los Angeles that
Mr.. Millard is anxious to come here.
Bob Northam has consented to his max.
ing the trip. but Charley Webber will
not let him come. Mr.. Millard is good
natured, whole.souled sort OF q man and
the railroad people are afraid that he
might entangle himself somehow II he
Francisco. He might get lost, as it
we're. There has been q cottage en-
gagged for Mr.. Mllard in Sacramento
and his family will spend the winter
with him at the capital.
Over In the Crocker building the com.
mittees are now being made up, and
about January 9Th the list will be pre-
sented to Mr.. Millard by jor Gillis as
a sort Of New Years gift. senator Ma
honey, VINO was a faithful member Of
the committee on corporations, is in the
line OF promotion and will probably be
chairman OF that committee this session.
Senator VOORHEES, OF Amador will be
chairman of the finance committee.
Senator Gleaves of Shasta, whose mis-
sion in life is to make the Sacramento
river navigable to steamboats, a. far as
Eisson, wants to be chairman OF the COM
mittee on river i'm improvements and dredg.

SEEKING A MAN TO BEAT PERKINS.
There is good deal OF quiet work be-
ing done on the United States senator
ship, and Senator Perkins's friends are
feeling q bit uneasy. 1t is almost
certainty that the battle for the senator.
ship will be fought out ON joint ballot.
There will not be = caucus, judging from
present indications. Huntington has
como to the conclusion that the railroad
has somewhat of . task to elect De
Young, yet while the railroad is not
willing to lot xo of him altogether, the
agents for the corporation are feeling
around for some one else to beat Perkins
with.

have tho solid support of the mining
counties should he enter the lists.
Even legislators who arc instructed for
Perkins, il is argued, would be absolved
by their constituents for having broken
their pledges If they should vote Nef
into the United States senate.
But the man who 10 creating hope in
the hearts of many Of the Republican
memb bers Of the legislature is G. H.
Phillips OF San Luis Obispo. He has
$4,00O,O00 or IS, 900, 900 and is extrava-
giant to fault, it is said. in the distri-
button OF his wealth. His close friends

Spreckels would be able to give him at
least half the legislative vote OF San
Francisco. which Mr.. de Young depends
upon as q whole.
Politicians seem to think that In Sac
Samento, this winter, there will be a
split between Burns and Spreckels. The
colonel will stand by De Young and the
commodore will fight the editor. And
then if De Young attempts to make war
on Spreckels through his organ, why
Shortridge will fight back through the
Call, if the San Jose man succeeds in
purchasing that paper with British cap.

out on the senatorial fight there will be
. merry war between the two bosses
