PLUMS IN COMMITTEE.
Gentlemen Who Want and Others
Who Will Get Chairmanstips.

There Is feeling among the Perkins
men in the Assembly that Speaker Lynch
has slighsed them in the award of patron
age. This slight has not exactly taken
place, but il is anticipated. The Alameda
delegation in the Assembly had Judge
Waymire staked out for the Craftsmanship
of the Judiciary Committee. And their
programme has been turned down by
Speaker Lynch. who has promised to make
Mr.. Bulla of Los Angeles chairman Of that
important committee. Out of the incident
has grown the report that the followers of
Perkins cannot hope to find favor at the
source from which patronage flows.
The Speaker is working hard on the
committee list. The number OF standing
committees lie not sufficient to give TO each
member a chairmanship, so great roar is
sure to ascend from all who are left out in
the cold. An Assem- blyman without a
committee and having 40 power to appoint
a committee clerk must rely on his slo-
qusnce for recognition at Sacramento.
The Speaker came down to San Fran
cisco on Friday night and most of the
members of his party are ON his trail. To
catch the Speakers ear is now their wish.
1t will be too late after next Tuesday.
The programme as constituted at present
may be Charged at any hour between now
and next Tuesday, but i, is regarded as
settled that Mr.. Brusie of Sacramento will
get the chairmanship of the Ways and
Means Committee. He is young and am
bilious Ambition may take bent in the
direction of economy and result In a record
of retrenchment the like of which has
never been seen In the California Legisla-
ture. Timothy Guy Phelps of San Aateo
expected to serve the State at the head of
this committee, but he will be satisfied to
head q new special committee on retrench-
ment and reform. Mr.. Phelps new COM
mittee will have the privilege of recon-
mending retrenchments. Mr.. BRUSHES
committee will have the responsibility of
recommending appropriations.
Assembiyman Pendleton wants to be
chairman of the Committee on Corpora
tons. He cannot get definite ASSURANCE
that bis wishes will be gratiied by the
Speaker. but the activity displayed BY the
Assemblyman in pursuit of the prizs is
calculated to awaken admiration. He
knew what he wanted a month ago and
still knows It Ii be does not get il it will
not be Tor the lack of persistent effort.
The question comes uD, What will
Judge Waymire get since he didn't get
the speakership and is not likely to get
the Judiciary Committee?" This is .
very grave question, when 1t is consid-

YET MORE EXPLICIT.
Speaker Lynch Does Some Talking
After the Theater,

Speaker of The Assembly John G. Lynch,
whom the Perkins men have besn con.
fdently counting as one of their own
in the Senatorial contest, is stopping
with his friend, Frank Stone. at
the latter's residence. 2S1S Howard street.
during the adjournment of the Legislature.
He went 10 the theater last evening in
company with Mr.. Stone, who, as is known.
is manager of NJ. II. de Young's campaign
at Sacramento for the senatorship. After
the theater he was found at Mr.. Stones
residence and consented to talk still more
explicitly concerning the composition of
the Assembly committees, which is the
next feature Of interest at Sacramento
only this week.

Suit to Set Them Aside.
TACOMA, Wash, Jan. FIN answer to
inquiries from New York, Mayor Orr aud
City Attorney Wickersham to-day wired
New York bond buyers that the city will
certainly stubbornly contest the suit
brought in the Superior Court before
Judge S;allcup, to set aside 1850 $1,000
bonds paid by the city for the light and
water plant They completely deny the
report thar the city will allow judgment to
be taken by default.
Judge Dillon of New York and the
most prominent bond-buying firms in tie
country have wired that the water bonds
are valid beyond a doubt and that tue
effect of the Ssallcup suit. should it win 10
the lower court. would be to injure the
city's credit without gaining anything
in the end. Judge Dillon has held that
the innocent bondholders cannot inter-
vene in the present suit, claiming that the
Federal court will protect their claim
against the city. There is strong feeling
here in favor of having the suit with
drawn.

CHARLES S. MCKELYEY.
The position outlined by McKelyey in
his reply gives comfort to both sides IN the
Senatorial fight. Those in the De Young
faction regard it as a rebuke othe caucus,
and Teassert their claim that the caucus
cannot hold together, but will soon begin
to disintegrate. while men of the Perkins
faction cite McKelVey's answer TO prove
their assertion that they have a mum Der of
Perkins votes outside The caucus.

cred that Judge Waymire is not Only from
Alameda County, but from the city of
Alameda itself, and that to turn down an
Alameda man ih the Legislature is a CEN
sure on civilization. 1t is gossiped about
that the Judge will be chairman of the
committee on Constitutional Amendme nts.
The position has lofty name, but the
committee has no patronage. Alameda
always desires that honor and emoIuments
should go arm in arm, anc especially when
the honor is bestowed By Alameda County
and the emoluments by the State. Judge
Waymire is distin guis1ed representative

Senator Seymour gets the Craftsmanship
