THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.

Return of the De Young EIen to the
Capital.
Special TO THE HERALD.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 20.-The concert
pitch of the senatorial battle has been
reached and high tension is now the
order Of the hour.
Tonight's train brought in tho big
seven, who are here in the interest of
the Southern Pacific Railroad company
Dan Burns, George knight. Jim Rae,
James V. Kelley. Julius Kahn and
Frank Stone. What they will scccmp-
lish time alone will determine. The
best estimate that can be made OF the
complexion of the vote on the first bal
lot is ss follows: Perkins 81. including
Bledsoe, the Independent; De Young "a.
and scattering II, which will include
votes for De Haven, Bowers, Neff. Scott,
Reddick and possibly Mile.
SEYMOUR AND LYNCH FELL DOWN.
The only item OF genuine value
which has transpired today ia the pub
lie announcement by Senator Seymour
that he will vote for Bowers. 1t is
stated, but lacks confirmation. that
Lynch and Senator Flint will follow
Seymour's lead. Assemblymsn Dale 10
in constant communication with Con-
gresham Bowers. and judging from dis.
patches which he has received today,
the pleasant relations heretofore exist
ing between the congressman and the
senator are somewhat strained, owing
to the receipt of dispatch by Bowera
from Perkins, in which the latter said
something not altogether pleasing to
the man from San Diego. Certain it ia
that Bowers, on information received
from private sources, considers that his
chance is improving. with bara poasi-
bility of winning ont.
The Perkins managers have put in
circulation the report that Dale ia se.
cretly working in De- Young's interest.
This he denies emphatically and states
publicly that under no consideration will
he vote for De Young. When he sees
that Bowers has no chance. he will vote
for Perkins, or any other representative
Republican il Perkins has no chance.
HAMILTON COUNTS Of VOTES.
Pat Ksene stated tonight that Red.
dick was in the fight to win If q dead
lock occurs. This is new dark horse
and one decidedly popular, especially
among the senators. among whom he
has many warm friends. w. B. Hamil-
ton stated to The HERALD correspondent
tonight that he had no fears of the final
outcome OF che fight. he counts on 81
Cd the fret ballot, and is assured of a
decision not later than the second bal.
lot. Pendleton of Los Angeles states
that he has never swerved from his in
tention to live up TO the pledge which
ne made when he accepted the nomlna-
tioa at the hands of his district conven-
ton, and that all statements to the con.
trary are pure fabrications. Taken all
in all the situation is without parallel In
the history of contests for senatorial
honors.
SILENT DE YOUNG.
De Young's managers still maintain
the silence and caution in the matter of
estimates and information concerning
their line of battle that has characters
ICED their fight from the first. No one
knows or will tell what they expect, or
from where they hops to get their votes.
Their workers include the best politic-
ians in the state. and from external in
dications the confidence partakes Of the
order OF the sublime. Certain it is that
Perkins can not win on the frat ballot.
