WILSON Is THE CHOICE.
Elected to the United States Senate From
WasHinGtOMs

WdSh1hgt0ne
OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. John L. Will
son was to-day formally elected United
States Senator.
Mr.. Wilson was elected to fill the va
cancy caused by the failure of the last
Legislature to elect. He was born at Craw-
louisville, Ind, August Z, 1850. He was
graduated from Wabash College in 1874
was elected representative to the State
Legislature of Indiana, in 1880, from Mont
gomery County. He was appointed by
President Arthur receiver of public moneys
at Spokane, and served four, years; he was
elected to the Fifty-first Congress, being
the first Congressman from the State of
Washington. He was subsequently re-
elected to the Fifty-second and Fifty third
Congresses.
TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 1.-Senator and
Mrs. John L. Wilson and two dozen prom
inent citizens of Spokane were given an
informal reception tonight at the Tacoma
Hotel. Senator Wilson is very tired from
his long campaign.
He will leave Spokane Monday for Wash
ington City, and says he will take his seat
in the Senate Immediately, unless his vote
is wanted in the House to assist in passing
the Nicaragua Canal bill. He. received a
telegram to-day signed by Senators Teller,
Chandler, Platt and Dubois, asking him to
lose no time in getting to the capital.

morning adopted concurrent resolution
by Shine, providing for temporary COM
mission, to be composed of two Senators,
two Assem- blymen and two civil engineers,
one to be selected by the Senators and one
by the Assemblymen, whose duty it shall
be to devise a permanent system of high
way improvement, and to report to the
LIE gislature not later than the last Satur-
day in the present month. All of the COM
missioners and engineers are to serve with
out compensation.
Senator Langford moved suspension of
the rules in order to take up his bill re-
pealing the law which appropriates State
funds for the support OF aged indigents.
The bill had been favorably recommended
by the Judiciary Committee. But twenty
seven Senators answered the rollcall on
the motion to suspend the rules, and two
of these voted in the negative The affirm
alive vote being two less than the two
thirds votes required to suspend the rules,
Senator Langford demanded call of the
House. Senator Under was found and
brought before the bar of the Senate. but
upon motion of Senator Orr was excused
and further proceedings under the call
were dispensed with. The bill was then
made special order for Monday next.
Senator Langford read statistics showing
that the law, which was enacted in 1884
and which cost the State but $500 that
year last year cost the State over 1855, 900.
The Committee on Harbors, Rivers and
Coast Defenses was granted leave of absence
for one day to visit San Francisco. At 2:30
o'clock the Senate adjourned until o'clock
Monday afternoon.

him, however would be to subject him to
and would be unwise. In the third class
would be the constituencies scoundrel,
who would be willing to pay for the place
for what there was in it.
If there were any way to prevent cleo
ton frauds he would support it. He
would support any measure that would
show whether Mr.. Budd was elected by
the people or selected by a gang OF GRIM
inals. He thought that San Francisco
should be left to manage her own private
affairs through, and if she had any dirty
linen the State should not be asked to pay
for washing it.
Bulla of Los Angeles was anxious for
anything that would prevent election
frauds, too. He was not in favor OF the
bill as presented. The necessity that would
suggest such measure, he urged, showed
that some steps should be taken toward
making election laws that would prevent
all fraud. He thought they ought to have
voting machines. To this some member
replied that the men who would falsify
returns would invent some way to get the
best of the machine, and if need be would
steal it bodily.
Judge Davis of Tulare rather favored the
idea the bill represented but did not like
the bill. The debate made it evident that
none of those present were satisfied with
the bill. They were as divided in their
opinions as when the caucus began. 1t
was decided at last not to take any definite
action till Joint caucus could be arranged
with the Republican Senators. Chairman
Wade was instructed to fix the date for
early in the coming week.
The San Francisco delegation oppose the
bill as a unit. Chairman Powers of the
Forty-frst District thinks San Francisco
has shown in the past that she is capable
of attending to her own affairs. O'Day of
the Thirtieth District is in favor of home
rule. He wants an investigation of police
affairs if it is necessary, but thinks it is
none of the States business. Bettman of
the Fortieth District says that he will be
willing to grant whatever the represent
ative people of San Francisco ask for.
With the exception of Mayor Sutro, he
thought no representative men had asked
for this investigation. When they did he
was quite sure they would not ask the
Legislature for help. Zocchi of the Forty
fourth District is opposed to the Governor
the commission, even if one
were necessary. He thought San Fran
cisco should be allowed to attend to her
own business. Boothby of the Forty-third
District was sure that when affairs rem
dered investigation of the Police Depart
ment necessary that the citizens them
selves and the Grand Jury could do all that
was required

DISCUSSED IN CAUCUS.
The Leno1 Scheme Has Not One Friend
In the Whole House.


SACRAMENTO, Feb. IA greet flourish of
trumpets and many expressions of self
graduation heralded the introduction of
the drag-net bill which was intended to
Lexow San Francisco and investigate cleo
ton frauds. As the legislators looked at
it more closely they became convinced of
the absurdity of its propositions, and now
it stands alone with none SO poor to do it
reverence, not even Judge Waymire, who
is held responsible for some of its most
foolish provisions.
This became evident at the Republican
caucus tonight. The time set for the meet
ing was 1880 o'clock. By the clock there
was not quite caucus, but shortly after
that hour twelve men arrived together,
making all told twenty-one. This gave
eight over the required number and the
meeting went into executive session. Wade
of Napa occupied the chair. Expressions
of opinion were called for and they came
unreservedly. They were none of them
fiatterine to the men who framed the pro-
posed bill. Judge Waymire arose to assure
the caucus that he was not responsible for
the provision allowing the commissioners

ridiculed, that amount not being enough
to pay their expenses. The law seemed,
he said, to have been made for one of three
classes of people. The first was the rich
man who would feel like donating his time.
The great danger would be that this man
would not have the peculiar ability to
make his services valuable. Of the second
class was the poor able man. To send

The story is that he was going down cor
