PLATT FOR SENATOR.
The New York Republican win Succeed
Hin III He Desires.

ALBANY, Dec, 2S.-The state legislature
of 1897 will be called together on Wednes-
day OF next week under more peculiar
circumstances as regards political CON
struction than any of its predecessors. The
Republicans in the two houses number
three To every Democrat and this alone is
a feature that has never been witnessed in
the political history Of the state. All Of
the Democratic senators come from below
the Harlem, and none Of tho upper coun-
ties have n representative in that party's
ranks Eleven of the fifty senators have
served in previous senates, and all have
served one year Of their term. In the as
scmbly there are iifty-oue now members
Fi the thirty-flvo minority members
twenty-five are members of Iammany
Next to the question of a charter for the
greater New York comes the serious ques-
ton of what amendments shall be made
TO the existing excise measure, known as
the liquor tax laws, and the disposition
and temper Of those Interested in it would
indicate a bitter fight over every PROPOSE
tion.
Tho election of n United States senator
to succeed Senator David B. Hill is rated
only third in Importance, because the issue
is practically settled, two-thirds at least
of the majority having pledged themselves
in writing TO accept Thomas b. Platt if
he shall desire it. The election takes place
in January, and, while there are several
candidates mentioned upon each side the
friction, unless 1t be in the Democratic
caucus, viii be but Of minor Importance
Tho candidacy OF Mr. Joseph B Choate is
being vigorously pushed, but it is not be-
Heved that even his most earnest friends
expect to any more than by that means
show their dislike to tho candidacy of Mr.
Platt. 1t is estimated that Mr.. Choate
will receive perhaps eleven of the ljO votes

SUED MACDoNoUGH's ESTATE.

An oakland SaIoon-Keeper Claims He
Has Been Damaged $4,000 Worth.
Anton Clecak, an Oakland saloon and
restaurant keeper, has sued John G. Ogar,
administrator of the estate of Joseph Mac
donough, for $24. 900 damages for alleged
breach of contract.
Clecak is the man from whom, on Feb
ruary II, 1896. the Oakland City Council
took away the license for running saloon
at 4S1 Fourteenth street, in the basemen
of the Macdonough Theater building, in
the CITY of churches. 1t was proved to
the satisfaction of the Council that Clecak
was keeping a disorderly house and SELL
ing liquor after midnight. which is con-
trary to municipal ordinance of the city
of Oakland.
The plaintiff claims that the action of
the Council was based on the accusations
of two men employed by Ogar at $50 each
to swear falsely against him, and so, by
having his license revoked, secure possess
sion of the premises, on which he has
lease until March, 1897.
Therefore Clecak prays for damages at
the rate of $500 per month. the value of
the lease, from February II, 1896, to the
time of the expiration; for $4,000, the value
of the fixtures of the saloon, which are
said to have become valueless to him, and
for $4,000 damage caused by the discon-
tinuance of his busi-Iess, total of S24 900.

FIFTH STREET HORROR,
Suits Resultant Upon It Being
Filed With the County
Clerk.
Widows of Patrick J. McKeown and
Dennis Griffin Ask for $4,000
Damages.

The first of a series of damage suits that
will no doubt be brought against Simon
Kelley, the owner of the building at %
Fifth street which five weeks ago col
lapsed and killed number of people, was
filed in the County Clerks office yester-
day.
Mrs. Kate McKeown. administrative of
the estate of Patrick J. McKeown, propri-
etor of the lodging-house in the iIl-fated
building and one of the victims of the hol-
ocaust, has sued Kelley for $4,000. This sum
is claimed TO be due because of the destruc-
tion of the business of the hotel and of its
furniture, which was valued at $4,000.
Kelley is alleged to have been responsible
for the collapse of the edifice because of
negligence and criminal carelessness.
To-day another suit against Kelley, as
proprietor, and Adam Miller, E. Kalla-
frath, L. B. Sibley and Patrick Gleason,
contractors. who conducted the work on
the wrecked ediiice, will be filed. II was
brought by Margaret Griffin and Eileen
Griffin by her guardian ad litem, Margaret
Griffin. The former is the widow of Den
mis- Griffin, laborer, whose life was crushed
out by the falling timbers. Eileen Griffin
is MS child, aged IA months.
The Griffins demand damages of SIS. 600
for being deprived of the support, main
tenance, protection, education, comfort

father. 1t is stated that the deceased was
90 years of age and during his lifetime
earned So per day.
The allegations of the com plant are that
the accident which caused Grifin's death
was due to the carelessness and negligence
of the defendants in having insufficiently
and improperly braced and supported the
building which fell. 1t is also said that
Griffin had no knowledge of the unsafe
condition of the building, but that the de-
PENDANTS had.
IL is further alleged that the building at
% Fifth street was within the fire limits OF
the City and that the repairs in progress
at the time of the accident were being
made in direct opposition to the provisions
of section of order 1927 of the general
orders of the Board of Supervisors, in that
the contractors failed to secure the per-
mission of the board before beginning
operations.
Henley & Costello and Edward J. Ban
ming are attorneys for the Griffins.

THE RECEPTION FOR STATE OFFICERs.


The action Of the Commercial Club
Of Topeka in offering to give to the
newly. rejected State officers the same
public reception and treatment given
their predecessors is, of course, rather
unexpected, but 1t indicates q disposi-
tion to treat the newly-elected officers
fairly. The ADVOCATE is not particu-
larly enthusiastic over inaugural balls
and that sort of thing, but if by meet
ing together Topeks's citizens can be.
come better acquainted with Mr.. Leedy
and his colleagues, we are satisfied that
much Of their prejudice against them
will disappear.
Kansas Populists are as rule farm
ers. This class Of citizens are unQues-
tlonsbly the most industrious, law
abiding and patriotic body of people
in the country. They are largely prop
erty owners, and for that reason are
interested deeply In good government.
The idea that the representatives of
these men are going to Willfully partlci-
pate in public acts or In the passage of
legislation which will justly mark
Kansas as q black spot on the map is
decidedly ridiculous and absolutely
preposterous. The injury to the State
Of which SO much is being heard is not
caused by the real disposition of POpu-
lists, but by what designing politicians
and newspaper demagogues make that
disposition appear to be. The mem
bers Of the Commercial Club will no
doubt take this view of the case, if
after acquaintance they judge the new
officers and Legislators fairly,

DEVELOPING CHINA.

A Chicago dispatch announces q
scheme to enlist English and Ameri-
can capital In the internal commercial
development of China. It stated that
nearly i million dollars capital has al
ready been subscribed, and plans are
now being matured for the formation
in Chicago within two weeks of a gi-
gsntiC commercial company which is
intended to be the rival of the Ameri-
can Trading Company, and eventually
to gain control of American trade In
China.
And the further information is given
that
Greater than the plans for the trading COM
pany, however, is scheme for developing
many miles of steam and street railways in
China, lighting its chief cities with electric
1ty, dredging It's hsrbors and engaging in
public Improvements that win mean profits
TO the syndicate Of millions Of dollars. Two
Englishmen are directing the formation Of
the syndicate from opposite sides Of the globe.
One Of them is now in Chicago concluding the
deal, and the other is in China, where per-
sonal acquaintance with Ii Hung Chang and
the Tsung Ii Ysmen will be the basis, it is
expected, Of the power Of the corporation.
The latter is Louis Spitzel, who, since the
Worlds Fair, has resided in Shanghai He is
the head Of the firm of Louis Spitzsl & Co.,
which prints on its letter-head that it is CAPT
talized for S1OOOOO,OOO, and has headquarters in

THROUGH UNION ALONE CAN BIMETAI-
LISTS SUCCEED,

In view OF facts to which attention
Is called In our article on the "Bugle
Call Of the Gold Party" 1t becomes o
patriotic duty Of timetallistS to unite
and organize themselves into not three
but ONE body. Nothing short Of this

strength. Division Is weakness. If
gold standard people can sunder party
ties, why can not we do the same
thing, when the public interests require
