SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1S.-There was a
sharp contest in the assembly today over
the question OF adjourning over to Mon
day morning, and for the first time dur
ing this session the programme did not
20 through. The opposition was led by
Bulla of Los Angeles who is anxious to
get down to serious business.
Tomorrow the first bill to be reported
back from the judiciary committee ia
vorably endorsed will be Bulla's delin-
ouent tax bill. In the commit
tee Bachman of Fresno, the leader
OF the minority in the assembly,
made q gallant battle for the bill
and will assist Bulla in securing its pas-
rage. 1t ia intimated that a strong OPP
position will develop in which the state
controllers Office will be largely in evil
dence az was the case two years ago
when the measure was defested through
the same influence. Lawyers in both
the senate and assembly are in favor OF
the measure, and determined effort
will be made to defeat the lobby, which
is against it to a man. Finlayson's
street law has been adopted by the sem
ate and assembly committees and in
consequence Los Angeles ia again in
evidence.
THE SENATORIAL BATTLE.
The heavy artillery in the senatorial
hattie now on, has been Withdrawn to
San Francisco.
When the Sacramento special started
for the Bay city tonight it carried
human freight that should wreck oc-
cur would break up more political com
binations than could be patched up
again in a years tins. The wherefore
OF the flight no man knoweth, unless it
is that the railroad msnipulators need
inspection, and have to go home to
undergo it. By singular chance
the friends of the De Young end
of the fight are the only ones to whom
transportation comes easy and with
plenty to spare. Block tickets are the
true business this session and trip passes
don't 90, as there may be Sacramento
edition of Lexow before the session
closes. The situation, as it stands to-.
day, ie:
THE CHIEF CANDIDATES.
De Young's managers are doing as
we'll as they can as good politicians, and
there is no question bu: what they have
in a measure blocked the Perkins game
in go far as the making OF votes goes.
The best estimate that can be made
places Perkins vote on the first ballot
at51. w. B. Hamilton still claims 55,
but cannot give names to substantiate
the claim. Just what the vote for
De Young will be no one outside
the director generals Office knows and
those on the inside refuse to furnish the
Information regarding their strength OF
plans. Perkins has been claiming that
he has Democratic votes enough to NOM
mate If he needs them, and this asser-
tion is now being used against De
Young's friends. urging that with 81
Republican majority on joint ballot it il
time for Republicans to nominate 6
United States senator without calling il
their political enemies.
In this connection Senators Sswel
and Nolan state for publication tonight
that they do not think the Democrats in
either senate or assembly will interfere
in the matter except in the event of
ong continued deadlock, when it may
be good policy for the minority to steI
in and settle the dispute.
AS was predicted. Bowers stock has
gone up. Today Assent lyman Dale oil
Kern received the following dispatch:
''Hon. B. Dale Sacramento:
IF deadlock occurs 1 shall be prouC
of the vote of my friends.
"W. W. BOWERS"
This has served to weaken Perkins, a
the claim has been made from the frs
that Bowers, under nc consideration
would allow the use of his name, an
autographed Senator Perkins 20 tina
effect.
MILLs's LITERARY BUREAU.
The literary bureau of Grandpa Mill
a. still grinding out anti-Perkins senti
ment, and every train brings carloa
OF it. Today Los Angeles county wa
heard from in De Young's interest. ]
B. Slauson, it is stated. has written t
certain members of the Les Angelo
delegation advising them that n
Young is a safe man to vote for an
II elected, will do 80 forth aud SO on
Just what the effect OF this quiet wor
which has been going on for two week
ell over tho state will be can only b
coniectured at this writing and anythin
near sure prediction as to the tina
outcome is on utter impossi billty.
Tomorrow the theater of activity wi
be in San Francisco and on Sunday her
in Sacramento. Every room in tn
hotels is spoken and period Of in
tense excite ment is in prospect, as th
interest 10 growing hourly.
