San Francisco. Dee. 1.-Inited States
Senator Perkins left for Washington this
evening, to be present at the opening Of

comes up. His interests will be in the
hands of his friends. and al present there
seems little doubt that he will be elected.
He has more than enough votes to elect
him. and in the absence of Il formid lble

over. Samuel Shortridge mas three votes
pledged and his name will be presented,
but he is unlikely to gather strength.
