THE FORCES AT WORK.
A Committee of Attorneys Will
Demand a Full inVeSti-
cation.
BIGGY'S ATTORNEY IS READY.
Governor Budd and the Sacram nto
Grand Jury Also Desire the
Inquiry.

SACRAMENTO, March 13.-Three attorneys,
w. W. Foote, Joseph Nougues and ]. j..
Dwyer, will demand tomorrow morning
of the committee appointed to investigate
the charge made by Senator Buggy against
Senator Dunn, that the entire Senate be
investigated.
The Senators have in a vague way talked
of a combine. Now they will be asked to
tell what they know.
The question of adjournment probably
stands between the desire of attorneys and
complete investigation, since the Senate
this afternoon concurred in the Assembly
resolution to adjourn on Saturday next.
This afternoon the proposition was
brought up in the Senate to adjourn on
Saturday next, concurring in the Assembly
resolution.
Senator Dunn declared that the Senate
ought not to concur in the Assembly reso-
luton to adjourn. A grave charge had
been made against him and he desired that
an investigation should be had before ad-
journment.
Senator Bert thereupon moved that the
proposition to adjourn be discussed at a
later date in order to give Senator Dunn
the opportunity asked for.
Senator MCGOWAN asked Senator Simp-
son, the chairman of the investigating
committee, when he would be ready to
report, and the reply was that the COM
mittee, under the resolution, would in
quire into no other matter than the charge
brought by Senator Buggy, and would,
therefore, be able to report by Saturday.
Bert withdrew his amendment and the
Senate agreed with the Assembly to ad-
journ on Saturday.
The Senate investigating committee had
a brief session this morning. Buggy de-
clared that Dunn was the man to whom he
referred in his sensational speech yester-
day.
Senator Dunn said he was ready to pro-
coed with the investigation. He was asked
If he desired an attorney and replied that
he did not think he wanted one. Senator
Buggy declared that he would be repre-
sented by an attorney. This attorney is w.
w. Foote.
The committee adjourned to meet at 80
o'clock tomorrow morning, when w. w.
Foote says he will be prepared to go on
with the case, though Senator Buggy will
not be present.
Senator Buggy received the announce
ment that his sister was dead, and he de-
parted for the city yesterday. This is his
second bereavement within the last ten
days, as he lost his wife but few days
ago.
Last night Senator Buggy called upon
Governor Budd. The Governor told him
to tell the whole truth and to have the
fullest investigation.
II want this matter thoroughly ventil-
ated. If there is any corrupt Senator he
should be investigated" said Governor
Budd tonight. ~ have told the Attorney
General that it is his duty to prosecute and
he will do So"
This is not the only phase of the matter.
H. NJ. La Rue, foreman of the Grand Jury
of Sacramento County, has signiied his
intention to investigate, and when the
Grand Jury sits again on Monday next he
will bring the subject before that body.
Some interesting results are promised
when Attorney Foote tomorrow morning
asks for full investigation of the Senate
Attorney Foote says he wants an open in
vestigation and will oppose any secret
session.
