ROW IN A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Judge Spencer Grabs His Hat
and Leaves.
A Question of Patronage Was At
Issue.
Rank Kxtravagance In the Employ ment
of Assembly Attaches Charged.
The End Not Yet.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. THE Republic
cans of the assembly had lively row in
caucus tonight. 1t had been intended
to hold a joint caucus OF the Republican
members OF the senate and the assem-
bly,.
At O'Clock this afternoon the Repub'
lican senators met They took MP the
question Of the proposed Investigation oil
San Francisco corruption, and attem pied
TO arrive at some understanding. Fail
ing in this, they adjourned to meet with
the Republicans Of the assembly at s
O'Clock.
The Republican assemblymen at
tempted to hold q short caucus before
the senators appeared. They entered
into discussion OF the resolution Of
Tered by Timothy Guy Phelps. chairman
of the committee on retrenchment. to
discharge Is needless attaches OF the
assembly. Brusis of Sacramento, Pow
ers OF San Francisco and other memb
of the city delegations, attacked the res
olution and urged the Republicans to

that the Democratic majority OF the las
legislature had been just as extravagant
as this, and that the Republican menu
beers were justified In standing up for
their friends.
that the members OF the retrenchmeni
committee were engaged in pothouse
politics.
This called forth angry protests from
Timothy Guy Phelps and Assembly man
Spencer. The member from Lsssen,
Piumaa and Sierra attempted to lecture
the Republicans present. He charged
that they were responsible for extrava-
gancs far beyond that of the notorious
$l5,000,000 Doodle legislature of 1889.
He said he had reputation to sustain
and that he would not lay himself liable
to charges of looting the treasury or OF
assisting others to do it. He demanded
that the Republicans adopt the Phelps
resolution, Notwithstanding that several
members in the caucus had eignifed
their willingness to stand up against any
criticism for keeping the needless nt-
tachsa on the pay roll.
Judge Spencer talked but the few
minutes allowed under the caucus rules.
and without ceremony he was shut off
from further talk. Highly indignant
at what he considered an affront, he
grabbed his hat. declaring that he
would have his usy on the floor of the
house. and there express his opinion Of
the extravaganza of his Republican col
leagues. As parting shot be declared
that, for sll he cared, the caucus might
go to -. He went the full length OF
the time-worn expression.
After the uproar had been finally
quelled ii was agreed that the Phelps
resolution should be brought to vote
and every sssembiyman be given an OPP
portunity to 60 on record for or against
the needless attaches. By the time this
result bad been arrived at only five SEN
stors g3mained in the room. Then,
owing to the lack of aquorum, 1t was
impossible to take up the question of in
vestigsting San Frsneisco's corruption,
which was the real object of the caucus.

4 Rakinx Report From tho Committee
on Pubic Institutions.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. THE assembly
this morning made the woman's suf-
irage bill the special order for Mon day
evening next.
A report from committees on public
health and quarantine and state hos
pitfalls and asylums was submitted to
the assembly. and praises the condition
Of affairs At the Berkeley institute for
che deaf, dumb and blind. and at insane
asylum at Stockton, but gives severe
eensure to situation at the home for the
adult blind in Oakland. Many OF the
inmates seen in and about the grounds,
the report sage, were wretchedly
clothed and so filthy in appearance as TO
be absolutely rspulsive.
The depravsd inmates OF the Stockton
asylum were clean compsred to some of
these. There can be no possible ex-
PLANTATION for this condition Of things
other than bad management. Discon-

spies were on the alert, and many times
they had been harahly treated for spsak-

mended that all OF the present board be

Toronto. Feb. Hilary P. Hyams
and his twin brother came here from
New Orleans nine years ago and opened
warehouse on Colborne street. Among
those employed by them was William
Wells. a young man. While making re-
pairs at the warehouse in January, 1898,
the weight which balances the hoist
became unlocked in some mysterious
manner and fell on Wells head, killing
him. Wells life wac insured for $780,"
900, payable to his sister Martha. Short
ly after coming into possession OF the
money, Martha married Harry z.
Hyams. The Hyams brothers aban-
donsd the warehouse and opened an
Office az money lenders and brokers.
Later. Mrs. Ii. ?. Hyams removed to
Montreal. and recently applications for
$780, 900 insurance on the life OF Mrs.
Hyams was made.
In each instance the applications de-
ecribed her as Mrs. Martha Wells Hy-
ans of Montreal. born March IL, 1870.
at Somsrsetshire, England. Applica-
tions with the Equitable Life Insurance
company were for $4,000; Mutual Life
OF New York. $50. 900; Sun Life, 500, 900 /;
Standard Life of Edinburg, $4,000 |;
Standard of Edinburg (sddtionaD, $75.-
600; United States Life. $40, 900; Mutual
Reserve Fund. s25. 600. and Confederate
Life, $4,000. Mrs. Hyams learned of
the amount OF insurance which had
been applied for only after half OF it had
been placed. She became alarmed and
consulted Horn & Barrett, barristers of
this city.
She refused to return to Montreal
with her husband. and insisted that
detectives should be engaged to remain
st the house of her brotherin.law, in
close view, to guard her night and day.
A detective was engaged and remained
in the house several days.
Lawyer Horn wrote to the various
companies asking for q cancellation of
all the policies, and several Of them re-
spondsd with slacrity, bat the New
York Mutual Life declined to cancel ita
policy, and writ was issued to compel
it to do so. The issuance of this writ
made public the story.

he cannot expect TO last many more years.
When the correspondent suggested that

him off the stage of action he smiled
brightly and said that it was a friendly
