NAMING SENATORS
NOW HIS PAS TIME
Huntington Takes a Hand
in Washington and
Oregon.
Working for the Election of Men
Who Favor His Various
Plans.
Needs More Supper tiers in the Upper
House of the National Legis-
lature.

SEATTLE, WASH, Jan. "a gentle
man who is connected with the law de-
partment of the Southern Pacific recently
made the statement in Portland to resi-
dent of this State that the railroad man.
agement is just now being much engrossed
with the business of looking after the
Senatorial elections in Oregon and Wash
ington. Grover Cleveland might occa-
sionally have Congress on his hands, but
according to this authority c. P. Hunting
ton had quite as much or more to look
after in seeing United States Senator of
the right complexion elected than did the
Presidentin holding the reins over the
two Congressional teams.
For more than a week past there have
been reports to the effect that Hunting
tons agents were stationed at Olympia,
with instructions to see that no man hos
tile to the Pacific railroads funding bill
was eacted. The Legislature meets on
Monday. There are six or eight candi-
dates, but only three = Judge George
Turner of Spokane, Senator Squire and
Richard Winsor. both of Seattle-have
developed any strength. Huntington's
candidate, so the Senator makers say, is
a dark horse, and probably a Populist,
though it is possible that he has made or
may make deal with one of the avowed
candidates.
A member of Congress recently stated
in this city that for Huntington to be
able to secure the passage OF the funding
bill in the new Senate it would be neces-
sary for him to bring about the election
of Spooner of Wisconsin, railroad man
who already has the caucus nomination;
w. d. Chipley, a Florida railroad man,
AS the successor of Senator Call and GER
tainly another from either this State or
Oregon.
The Legislature stands on joint ballot
fifteen silver Republicans, fifteen Demo
Gratis, fifty-six Populists and twenty five
Republicans, with one contest between a
Populist and q straight Republican. The
Legislature which elected John l.. Wilson
Senator two years ago stood on joint ballot
seventy-eight Republicans, twenty four
Populists and ten Democrats.

PRIZES WON At
THE DOG SHOW
Blue Blooded CANNES on
Exhibition at the
Capital.
Famous BoW.Wows Pose Before
Hundreds of Interested
Spectators.
Otis Fellows Acts as JUICE and
Awards Trophies to the Deserv.
ing Candid ates.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 9.-The
bench show of the California Kennel
Association is one of the most meritorious
ever exhibited on the coast-so say the
experts and dog lovers who are thronging
the great pavilion. There have been more
CANNES exhibited at former affairs of the
kind, but never such choice and valuable
collection. This, to a great extent, is
attributed to the fact that J. Otis Fellows,
who is acting as judge in awarding the
prizes, is recognized as the highest
authority on the breeding, conformation
and individuality of dogs in the United
States, and breeders and dog fanciers
realize that their animals must possess
true merit to stand any possible chance
with the expert. In consequence, they
have presented the pick of their kennels.
There are nearly twenty st. Bernards
on exhibition, among them being J.. E..
Tade's The Cid, ]. Blain's Grand Duke, T.
II. Browns Grand Master, which has won
first prizes all over the United States, and
Miles Taylor's Roxey Savage Taylor, one
of the very best dogs in the State Among

Vienna, owned by Mazzini Brothers of
this city, is the principal attraction. She
was greatly admired by visitors through.
out the day.
The great Danes attracted great deal
of attention, and they certainly make a
fine showing The Cunningham kennels
head their show with Juanita and Ivan,
both prize-winners, and the Mount Shasta
Kennels put Orchard Trilby forward as
the best one in their lot. w. e. Lovdal
makes good showing in this department,
as does E. Enoack of this city.
The only blood hound shown is the ia.
nous Buckshot II, and he doubtless
scared all other competitors out of his
class.
In hunting dogs there are numerous en-
tries, with many notabes, such as the
pointers Juno IL and Badly, both bench
winners; the Englishs setter Countess
Noble, and Silver Plate. one of her bro.
geny. Charm, winner of the first and
special prizes at San Francisco, is also
present.

until yesterday afternoon would he place
any price on the two acres of land in
vowed, and then he olandly announced
that he wanted $4,000 or $1,000 an acre.
Considering that AZhderian's house and
outbuildings are located at the other end
OF the lot and the real market value of the
land, which at the highest is $500 an acre.
the officials were considerably more than
surprised at AZhderian's proposition.
Frank II. Ball refused to set any price
for strip off the end of his land. In this
case it is admitted that the damage will
amount to something, as the railroad will
pass Immediately in front of his house.
Finding stormy opposition also to the
plan of buying strlp along East avenue,
the officials looked over the surrounding
field with view to picking out another
route over which to build. the road and
overcome the troublesome mile. Any
way would do, but their efforts were with
out avail. No practicable line could be
found but that serious obstacles would be
encountered.
The party returned to the Hughes Hotel
at noon. They remained during the entire
afternoon and held conferences with the
obstructing property owners, who had
been requested 10 come in. This did not
prove any more successful than those OF
the forenoon. The officials also met the
committees on the Reedley route, and
conferred with committeeman from Han
ford.
The Reedley people expressed them
selves as anxious to get the competing
road through for next season. They were
not idle in right of-way matters, they ex-
planned, and hoped to be able to clear up
the difficulty between Fresno and Reedley
in the near future.
Their hope, it seems, is not based on
the most encouraging grounds, however.
Their principal trouble lies in the Mendo-
cino district, where the property-owners
are demanding heavy prices for their
lands.
A meeting of the people in San Fran
cisco who own most of the land south of
the river will be held on Thursday neqt.
All depends on the success of this meeting
in raising funds to purchase rights of way
in Fresno County. AS to the Hanford
route, no serious trouble is anticipated be-
yond the mile just south of the city, but
the mile of fancy values has nettled the
officials, and they viii not return to San
Francisco in the most happy frame OF
mind to report to the directors.

Christ shed the only light by which
socialism could ever reach the goal of
equality. If every man and woman would
join the church social evils would disap-
pear before the word of God.
He was followed by III. ]. Weeks, who
agreed with him about the Church of
Christ, but stated that his church died
with him. He said the church of to-day
was only burle>que on its founder; that
there was not preacher who would not
leave his flock were he offered better
salary elsewhere.
w. E. Shepherd, the lately defeated
candidate for Senator in this district,
spoke on "Socialism-True and False.'
He read a lengthy and carefully written
paper on the social evils of she day,
pointing out the remedies by legislative
enactments and the introduction of social
reform text books in public schools.
Mrs. A. Blair Thaw of Montecito will
speak next Saturday on "PIato's Re-
publics.'

MOB LAW At ORANGEKALE.
Japanese Coolies Hanged BY the Neck
Until Almost Dead and Then Driven
From the c0IonY

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. Sit is re-
ported that fifteen citizens of Orangevale,
situated twenty miles north of this city,
after Disgusting their identity by pulling
gunny SACKS over their heads, night be-
fore last visited the premises OF one of the
tract owners, c. G. Roof who had in his
employ six Japanese, and there captured
the outfit OF the little brown men. II is
claimed that ropes were put around the
necks of the Japanese, and that they were
suspended to an oak tree until nearly
dead.
After. being resuscitated they were
driven from the colony, with warning
that if they or any of their brethren ever
returned they would be hanged and left
for the Coroner.
1t is also claimed that when Roof came
to the rescue of his employees and began
to demonstrate rope was thrown around
his neck and he was threatened with the
same penalty that was inflicted on his
employees, but tnat Mrs. Roof became so
hysterical and his little ones so frightened
that the mob relented and allowed him
his liberty.
Over year ago a number of Chinese re-
ceived similar treatment in this locality
and they have never attempted to obtain
work in the colony since.

United States Sen ator. 1t is doubtful
whether Mitchell can hold his toga. He
has many warm friends. but the gold Re-
publicans will oppose him unless he de-
fines his position more clearly than he
has yet done He will receive no Popu-
list or Demo cratic votes.
Joseph Simon of Portland will be elected
President Of the Senate without opposi-
ton, but there is likely to be keenfg bit
for the speakership. Jonathan Bourne,
who was elected from Portland by the Sill
yer Republicans and Populists, is making
determined hight for it, but may not sue
coed. Riddle of Southern Oregon Is a
strong man and may win. He is a gold
Republican.
1t is believed that Mitchell will have as
hard fight for reelection 10 the Senate
as did Dolph two years ago.

work. Inquiry concerning him brought a

Putahve Representative of San Fran
CISCO Organization Given a
Setback

FRESNO, CAL, Jan. 9.-M. M. Barnet,
representing himself as the manager of
the San Francisco Journal of Commerce,
arrived in the city few days ago. He an
nounced that his purpose was to arouse
the interest of Fresno business men in the
Manufacturers and Producers Associa-
ton, claiming to be the founder of the
organization but not an officer at the pres
ent time.
He went around among the local mer-
chants and met with satisfactory encour-
agement. He explained that as soon as
he had gained the interest OF the business
men he would have an officer of the asso-
citation come down from San Francisco
and orEanize branch here. incidentally
Mr.. Barnet gathered data for write-up of
the county's resources in his paper.
To-day telegram was received from
Julian Sonntag, president CT the Manufac-
turers' and Producers Association, stat
ing that Mr.. Barnet was in no way rep
resen tative OF the organization.
