Special, to The Herald.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.-The senate
today took firm stand against the ap-
pointment of any more needless at
taches. majority report of the COM
mittee recommended the appointment
Of Mrs. Mary Dennis as janitress Of the
gallery. Mrs. Dennis is colored woman
who needs job. Her appointment to
rule over the gallery gods was recon-
mended by Senator Simpson, who said
he had been prompted to it by numerous
persons, on the ground that it would be
good stroke of policy to give the col
ored people showing in the distrlbu-
tion of patronage. After sharp debate
the proposition was rejected by big ma
jority.
Friends of the Torrens land bill, intro
duced by Senator Bulla and defeated
but subsequently reconsidered, are much
elated over its passage today. Its
chances in the assembly are said to be
good.
This afternoon the committee appoint
ed to investigate the stuffed payroll of
the assembly presented a report. 1t
censures those members who succeeded
In getting the clerk to appoint their
friends. and censures Duckworth for
having conceded their requests. 1t says
Duckworth did not profit financially by
it, still his acts are reprehensible. 1t
says the excessive money paid out for
mileage was simply robbery and should
be returned to the state. The commit
tee thinks Duckworth should be pun
ished but finds no law covering the
case, and therefore leaves the matter in
the hands of the house.
The assembly payroll is slowly swell

BUTLER'S CASE
The Detectives Believe That the Murderer
Will Take a Confession

ne detectives beIieve Ihat the Murderer
Will Take a Confession
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-That Muir
derer Frank Butler, alias Richard Ashe,
has no claim to the title of Lee Weller
was shown when Edwin Elliott, an
intimate friend of Butler, entered the
city prison and said that Butler bore not
the slightest resemblance to the dead
captain. Elliott is engineer of the Aus
tralian steamer Monowai. Captain Pc
trie Of the ship Olivebank also visited
the prison this afternoon, identifying
Butler as Richard Ashe, who had ship
ped with him as an able-bodied
seaman in 1893. The Australian detec-
tives now in the city to take Butler
back for trial were jubilant today over
an alleged confession made by Butler
to Detective Conroy. This, on invest-
cation, however, proved to be nothing
more than suggestion of a possible fu-
ture confession. Butler said to Conroy
that at least two men besides himself
had intimate knowledge of Weller's
movements and mysterious death. He
said that although he was really inno-
cent, these two murderers had forced
him to accept part of the dead Weller's
belongings afterwards found among
Buffers effects. Butler told Conroy if
the police would aid him to capture the
two alleged murdo<ars of Weller, he
ButleD would turn queens evidence
against them when the case came to
trial. The police are confident that
Butler will make important disclosures
in few days, believing that he is weak
ening under confinement, when confront
ed with the weight of evidence against
him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The senate
today admitted Richard r. Kenney to
the Delaware seat vacated many
months ago by Mr.. Higgins, and which
has since then been the subject of con-
tinuous controversy. This augmented
the Democratic membership to forty,
and for the first time this session raised
the full membership to it's proper quota
of ninety. 1t effects no essential change
in party strength, the divisions being:
Republicans, including Independents,
"A; Democrats, 40; Populists, 6; total, 80.
All opposition to the seating of KEN
ney was withdrawn, Republican sena-
tors conceding that his credentials from
Governor Tunnel, certifying that the
regular legislature had chosen him in
due form, gave him prima facie right
to admission
Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Hoar expressed
this view and stated that Mr.. Kenney's
title would be attacked hereafter on the
ground that his credentials, while prima
facie correct, came from a Legislators
fraudulently elected. Mr.. Hoar made
the further statement that the Dupont
case could not be reopened, having once
been passed upon by the senate. Tha
effect of this course is to leave J. ID.

MONEY WANTED
To Entertain Delegates to the international
Postal Congress


WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN a letter
to the secretary of the treasury, which
has been transmitted to congress, Post
master General Wilson recommends an
appropriation of 100000 to cover the
expenses of the congress of nations
composing the Postal union, which will
gather in this city next May and be in
session six weeks or two months. Mr..
Wilson says that he has no way of item
izing the cost OF the congress, but thinks
that $500, 900 might cover the expenses.
He says that distinguished representa-
tives of foreign nations, including the
postmaster generals of those nations,
will be present and that he thinks it
the duty of this country to provide for
the congress in suitable style. He mem
tfons the fact that at other sessions of
the congress the delegates\have been
entertained by the rulers of the coun-
try and that nothing which could be
done for the delegates heretofore has
been left undone.
