AN INFAMOUS POLITICAL PLOT
New Scheme to Count Governor
Budd Out.
Proposition to Defraud People of
Their Votes.
Republicans Will Try to Prevent tho
Speaker of the Assembly From
Csnvassing Returns.


By THE HERALD's Leased Wire.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 4.--The execut~
i've committee OF the Republican state
central committee decided today TO ask
the legislature to pass measure, chang
ing the method OF determining by the
legislature how the vote for governor at
the recent election was cast. By this
means it ia understood that the dificuls
ties encountered by the legal committee
of the executive committee which had
only existing laws in mind, may be
avoided.
1t is stated by the promoters of this
latest plan that by introducing drafts OF
the proposed bill in each house on the
first day Of the session it will be possible
to pass it and make it law in three days.
This will bring the act before Governor
Markham for his signature. as Governor
Budd will not then be seated.
WHAT BUDD SAYS.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 4.-Governor-elect
Budd and several of the members OF the
legislature are already in the city. Sem
ator Seawsll received dispatch from
San Francisco, stating that the executive
committee of the Republican central
committee had ignored the legal COM
mittee recently appointed. and will ask
the legislature to pass bill on Monday
to prevent the speaker of the assembly
from canvassing the returns for gov
ernor.
This dispatch was shown TO Mr.. Budd
at the Suffer club, and when asked about
IL be said:
SIT is the most infamous attempt to
defraud the people of their votes that
was ever heard OF. 1t is the first time
in the history of our country that re-
troactive law has been proposed to place
in the hands Of partissns the unseating
of q man already elected. II this law
can be changed, in the future any law
can likewise be altered by any political
party for like purposes. 1t strikes at
tenn, and endangers the stability of our
government. 1t is an insult to the peo-
pie, and especially an offront to the
legislators. who will undoubtedly use
their own Judgment under their oaths
and treat the matter with the contempt
it deserves.
THAT am elected sppeara by the re-
turns in the secretary of states Office,
which have by him been certified to
Governor Markham. This ia the only
record required by law to be kept. 1
shall certainly qualify next week as
governor and assume the dutiea of the
Office"

THE ASYLUM FIRE,

Trouble With Patients.

Only One Life Lost so Far as Known.
Trouble With Patients.
ANNA, ILL.,, Jan. 4.-Ths center build
ing and south wing Of the Southern
Illinois hospital for the insane has been
burning since IL 80 O'Clock last night.
The building contained nearly 800 pa
tients. all of whom. with one exception,
it is thought, were gotten ont safely.
One patient, lady, is supposed TO have
perished in the flames. She was OBJ
served on the fourth floor OF the center
building, dressed only in her night
clothes.
None of the attendants nor patients
had time to secure their clothing and
the snow worked great hardship in
transferring the inmates to other quar-
ters. 1t ia now thought none OF those
confined in the asylum are at large
though desperate attempts at escape
were made during the progress OF the
fire, and it was with great difficulty that
the poor creatures were confined to theii
quarters. They were crowded into q
new building, already nearly full. Tit
patients will be taken care OF in the bes
possible manner under the circum
stances. The loss will exceed $500. 900

Mr.. Willard is sSGering from a slight
attack of the grippe, and that ne ex-
pected to assume the duties OF his office
in about 10 days.
THE HERALD has ascsrtsinsd that Mr..
Millard's illness is due to severe attack
Of pneumonia, and that its ravages have
completely exhausted his constitution.
Although his condition ia not critical,
vet a slight relapse may be followed by
fatal results.
Yesterday the acknowledgements
was resting easy. but the sever had not
been subdued, and the congestion OF the
left lung has not been stopped. Two
DAYS ago he had raging fever, and that
left MIN totally exhausted, so that he is
now very weak. His temperature has
at no time been less than 101. No one
ia allowed to see him, although his
many friends visit the house in great
numbers to inquire about his condition.
WHAT THE PHYSICIAN SAYS.
DR.. Davidson. the attending p MUSICIAN,
was intervie ed yesterday and acknowi-
edged that his patient was suffering
from pneumonia.
sit is impossible for a physician to
state exactly" said DR.. Davidson, "how
soon q patient will recover from an at.
tack of pneumonia. Mr.. Willard will
certainly not be able to leave his house
within 10 days. His recovery depends
entirely upon his recuperative powers
when he gets up. 1t is true that Mr..
Willard is very weak and that the fever
has not left him, but do not anticipate
any fatal results. am sure nothing so
serious has developed thus far. 1t may
be possible that Mr.. Willard may go to
Sacramento some time this month, but
no physician can tell to day how soon
o patient will recover entirely"
| Mrs. Willard, who lie in constant at
| tendance on the sick man, stated that
| her husband had made up his mind
| that he could be able to leave for Sacra-
J mento by the 18th of this month and
was sure that che would attend the in
auguration ball.
That Mr.. Willard knew some days ego
that he would be unable to assume the
presidency OF the senate for some time
is shown by the fact that Senator An
drous OF Pomona held a protracted con-
sultation with Mr.. Millard prior to his
departure for the north Senator An.
drous was told the wishes of Mr.. Mill
ard in regard to the organization of the
senate, and it is said that he was the
bearer of message from Mr.. Willard t
several of the prominent senators rela
| tive to the lieutenant-governo.' desires
in regard to the work Of the senate.
