D. w. Owen on the stand Owen testi-
fled that Woodwork. the plaintiff, had
read to him an affidavit made by Mar
shall, in which it was alleged that a
committee of four, Owen, Marshall and
two others, had formed a compact by
which the political influence of the
American Protective association was to
be sold out to John d. Spreckels for
0,000. Incidentally Huddleson was to
be made governor of this state. Wood
worth told him that he wanted a loan Of
$4,000 on some mining property, and
that Huddleson had promised to get It
for him from John d. Spreckels. Wit
ness said that he told Woodworth and
Ross that he himself could, negotiate
the loan if they would leave it in mis-
hands. This they agreed to do, and
Owen went to Huddleson. with whom he
was really acting in concert. Later
Owen saw Woodwork and told him tha
Spreckels had stated that all he wanted
before giving up the money was an op-
portunfty to examine NIarshall's affi-
davit and the other papers to see that
he was getting what he was paying for
At this point the case was continued.
Woodwork charged Huddleson with
having stated publicly that he. Wood
worth, had attempted to blackmail John
d. Spreckels, using the A. P. A. to ac-
compiish his purpose.
One of the incidents OF the case was
the beating by Spreckels of Marshal
when the latter called at his office.

SACRAMENTO. Jan. 21.-Chlef Clerk
Duckworth's resignation, which was de
manded yesterday by the Republican
caucus, has not materialized. Duck
worth continues to officiate as chief
clerk of the assembly as if nothing had
happened Various rumOrs are afloat
as to what he intends to do about It.
but the prevailing opinion outside the
council of the G. o. p. is that the clerks
threat to expose numerous disreputable
proceedings on the part of various men,
bers has weakened their desire to have
him step down. He went before the
Democratic caucus and endeavored TO
excite sympathy there. but met with
poor success. The Democrats and Pop
uists were not disposed to render him
assistance in his fight with his own par
ty. Assemblyman Keegan of Santa
Rosa frankly Informed Duckworth that
they did not care a blank for the quarrel.
nor would Democrats form any alliance
with him. He must stand or fall on his
own merits.
1t is reported that the patronage dis
penser will resign tomorrow, but few
persons believe 1t.
Several assemblymen have disclosed 10
The Herald some of the most disgrace
full facts connected with the temporary
organization ever known in a legis
lative body. Persons not here at all
were named as appointees to certain
positions, and they subsequently drew
their fat fees by power of attorney sent
to some friend who represented them
just long enough to get the money. In
one instance woman was the ap-
pointee, and the man who signed he-
rame to the warrant for her pay di
not even know her full name, but the
money was paid
Tonight the consensus of opinion is
that Duckworth is an elephant on the
hands of the party, which the managers
wish to get rid of, but are afraid to
force out of his fat position. The out
come will probably be a whitewashing.
The tax reform meeting tonight was
largely attended by various classes of
citizens. There were speeches and dis
cussions on the constitutional amend
ment for local option, nearly all pres

Business Depression Caused by the Late
Financial Discussion.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Jan. 21.-Andrew
Carnegie is the guest Of Johnstown this
evening, and his reception on the arrival
of the special train from Pittsburg was
cordial and a hearty tribute of honor
by a grateful people. The reception was
prompted by the fact that Mr.. Carnegie
rebuilt the public library here after the
flood and was the largest Individual
contributor to the relief fund.
AT s o'clock Mr.. Carnegie, as the guest
of the board of trade, was greeted by
an immense audience at the opera
house. Mayor Wagner and Hon. John
M. Rose. president of the board of trade,
delivered addresses of welcome.
In the course of Mr.. Carnegie's ad-
dress in response, he spoke of the bust
ness depression of the past three years,
which he attributed to the general agi-
.tation against the gold standard.
