Opinion Of Experts on the Senatorial
Struggle.
SOME NEW MEN ENTER THE LISTS.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16-lf Senator Perkins
is not nominated on the first ballot he may
find it difficult to hold his forces together,
say some who are pledged to his support,
but W. B. Hamilton, who is managing his
fight, declares that the Senatorial hand
which he holds is a straight.
,sThere is no Joker in the deck, and so
De Young cannot get in on the draw, -
said Mr.. Hamilton tonight. eve have AZ
votes, we have made no effort to secure
other votes to-day, and I do not think
there is a single change in the situation to-
night. / doubt if there viii be any for two
or three days. 1t is true that those who
are working for Mr.. de Young are making
strong efforts to increase his strength, but
1 do not see how they can do so. I am
confident that we have them beaten and
that Senator Perkins will be renominated." ."
Auxiliary De Young quarters have been
opened on upper K street. James Cope
land of San Diego, who managed the fight
for Torrance in the last election, and who
desired to be Senator from San Diego, but
is not, arrived tonight and opened head
quarters on street. 1t is an anti-Perkins
headquarters, though it may not be openly
a De Young auxiliary. 1t is quite proba-
bic that it viii be the rallying point for a
Bowers boom, should it seem feasible to
introduce the name of the Congressman
from the Seventh District into the Sena-
torial fight It viii be the ground where
southern Legislators can meet to discuss
the State division propaganda, if they
think it is possible during the session of
the Legislature to do anything which will
advance this cause.
Meantime there seems little change in
the situation. The rumors of lavish offers
of money are growing and there is talk to-
night that certain legislators have been ap-
preached with pecuniary offers for their
votes, but none of the leaders of the fac
tions will more than hint at these things.
They viii make no definite charges.
julius Kahn, who is out for De Young,
and w B. Hamilton had an hours con-
ference in the Senate chamber to-day, in
which each assured the other that his own
faction had the better of it. 1t takes
twenty-one Senators to make a majority in
the Senate. There are twenty-five Repub-
licans in that body. If the Perkins contin-
gent could secure twenty-one there would
be no doubt of his election, but the indica-
tions are that more than four Senators will
oppose Perkins. In the lower house,

1t VIII Hardly be Possible to Block the
Funding Bill.

1t VIII Hardly be Possible to Block the
Funding Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Judge Mcguire
said tonight that if the financial question
shall again come up in the House, as it
may, there is a possibility that Reilly's
Pacific funding bill will not be given con-
sideration next week. However, this pos
sibility is considered remote. All the Cal
ifornians are preparing for the battle and
all of them will stand together to defeat
the bill. Judge Mcguire has not lost hope,
but the other California representatives
already consider that the bill will pass.
Judge Mcguire said to THE CALL cor
respondent tonight: 81 will not promise
that we will defeat the bill, but that we
will show now what an infamous measure
it is.
The debate in the House will be partici-
pated in by Judge Mcguire and Geary and
possibly Bowers, while most of the time
will be consumed by members of the Com
mittee on Pacific Railroads. Cannon of
Illinois, one of the Republican leaders, will
advocate the bill.

OPENED THE FIooDGArEs.
The Great DeIuge of Bitls That Poured
Into the 4SSenlbIU.

INTO the Assembly.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16-Another session of
the Assembly went by this morning with
out the standing committees being ap-
pointed, and it is apparent the politicians
will hold these appointments back as near
to the date of the Senatorial election as
possible.
The first business was the adoption of
the standing rules which were submitted
Yesterday. The rules went through almost
as reported BRUSHES amendment, which
was adopted yesterday, was reconsidered
and killed, leaving standing the original
rule, under which any bill may be smoth-
cred in committee and stricken from the
file in the event of a substitute measure
being reported by a committee. This
leaves to the authors of bills so killed no
way of resurrecting them.
A spirited debate arose over the report
of the Committee on Attaches recommend
ing that all committees of the Assembly
be authorized to employ one clerk each,
and that the Democratic minority and the
San Francisco delegation be also author
lied each to employ special clerk
Phelps made strong talk for retrench-
ment, uttering a loud protest against such
extravaganza; but despite his remon-
STRANGE the plan went through, and forty
three clerks each at 81 day were added to
the list of attaches.
McKelvey arose to a question of privi-
lege and offered a resolution demanding
the appointment of a special committee to
investigate the charges made yesterday by
Bledsoe, who declared on the floor of the
Assembly that he knew liquor was being
sold in the "Well in the basement of the
Assembly. McKelvey declared that such
an assertion on the floor of the Assembly
was blot on the fair name of the State
and an aspersion on the Assembly and the
custodian of the Capitol, the Secretary of
State. Bledsoe was not present to answer
him. The resolution went over one day.
The gates were thrown open in the As
sembly for the introduction of bills, and
they flowed in in a steady stream during
the entire afternoon session. No less than
243 bills were introduced before some tired
member proposed adjournment, and the
flood was cut off. Speaker Lynch adopted
the method of lottery in giving oppor-
tunity to members to present bills, the
names of all being put in a box and then
drawn from it by the clerk being called for

Colonel MARI Mcdonald OF Santa Rosa

Colonel Mark Mcdonald of Santa Rosa
arrived in town to-day. He states that his
town favors the candidacy of Perkins,
whom he pronounces a "clean man."
Colonel Mcdonald was in a reminiscent
mood, and recalled the time when he ran
for Senator and engaged both the Golden
Eagle and Capitol hotels for his headquar
ters.
II spent $43 0OO to carry San Francisco,
and l did and l didn't buy vote either.

Notwithstanding this expression the in
Inmates of Phelps say that as between
De Young and Perkins he will vote for
Perkins, although he does not warmly
favor him.
J. H. Glass of San Luis Obispo, another
of the doubtful list, said tonight to THE
CALL representative that he had been in
structed by his constituents for Perkins
and would vote for him. This is the first
expression secured from him. J. M. Bass
ford of Solano, also of the doubtful list,
prefers to remain doubtful and refused to
say for whom he would vote. He said he
was not bound by any pledges.

SURVEY OF THE GATE.
An Oversight That Mr.. Loud Is Trying
to Correct.

10 Correct.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Last session Con-
gresham Loud succeeded in having pro-
vision made in the sundry civil bill requir-
ing that part of the $4,000 appropriated
for the coast and geodetic surveys of the
Oregon and California coasts should be
used in surveying San Francisco Bay,
the Golden Gate and its approaches. This
work is now in progress and it is expected
will take about two years to finish it. The
appropriation only lasts until June 80 next,
and the Sundry civil bill reported yester-
day, while appropriating the usual amount
of $4,000 for the Oregon and California
coasts, does not make any express pro-
vision that part OF the funds shall be used
in surveying the harbor of San Francisco
and the Golden Gate. Mr.. Loud will ask
the coast and geodetic survey officers to
recommend this, and he will also do what
he can with the Appropriation Committee
to induce them to correct the oversight.

INCOME TAX LAW VOID.
That Is the Ground Taken by John G.
MO0fe'S attorneys.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The hearing of
the case of John c. Moore against Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue Miller, brought
to test the constitutionality of the income
tax law, was resumed to-day in the Dis
trict Equity Court.
Attorney Jere Wilson made the opening
argument, and Attorney-General Whitney
and Solicitor of Internal Revenue Houghe
represented the Government. AT the out
set counsel for complainant cited various
authorities to offset the Governments claim
that courts had no power to take cog
nizance of a statute that is void, and laid
down the proposition that an unconstitu-
tional act is no act at all. The income tax,
continued counsel, has been held by the
Supreme Court an excise tax, and he as
serted that as an attack on thrift and
