Sacrame ento Angry at the
Promoters of the
Measure.
But Oakland Is Apparently Too
Late to Secure the
Transfer.
S nator Stratton Says Assembly an
Wright Shou d Have Got to
Work Earlier.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 21.-While
Sacramento is indignant and in some
dread an Oakland in state of exultant
hope over the proposition to remove the
State Fair from the Capital City, there is,
accorning to the view of Senator Stratton,
as little prospect of the State Fair going
to Oakland at this time as there is OF the
Capitol building itself being. moved to the
Venice of the Pacific.
The idea was one that originated on the
spur of the moment. Had 1t been promuI-
gated during the early portion of the ses-
sion of the Legislature there would have
been good chance of victory for Oakland,
for Alameda County has contingent in
both houses that has made N most enyia BILE
record for energy and intelligence. The
matter being agitated, however, at this
late stage of the session, when business is
more or less behind and when everything
possible is being done to bring about an
adjournment as soon after the 4th of
March as possible, has little hopes of sue
cess.
No bill that is introduced at this time
has much prospect OF passing both houses.
And this would hold good particularly in
reference to any measure that is likely to
arouse antagonism and resulting heated
and prolonged debate.
Asse m blyman Wright introduced the
bill providing for the transfer of the State
Fair from Sacramento to Oakland yester-
day, and the promoters of the project ap-
preached Senator Stratton OF Alameda at
the same time and requested him to intro
duce similar bill in the Senate. This
Senator Stratton declined 10 do, giving as
reason for his rather unexpected conduct
the opinion he entertained that the bill
stood no chance of success. Speaking to a
the matter be said:
at may seem strange to my friends and
constituents that l have refused to father
this bill, but l must say in all candor that
L do not think it has any chance of being
passed coming at this period. Had it been
suggested at q seasonabe time / should
have been only too glad to have intro
duced it and to have put forth my best
efforts TO secure its passage. / heartily
| indorse the proposition and believe II
would be a good ing for the State al
large and certainly for Oakland. But q
measure introduced al this time is almost
certain to be swamped under ordinary
circumstances. and when there is opposed
10 it a strong element such as that COM
posed of Sacramento. all the northern
and even some of the southern counties,
it can readily be seen what little prospect
there is of its ever being permitted to see
daylight again after being introduced.
my action In declining to introduce a
bill of this kind will not prevent me, how
ever from giving the strongest support to
the measure submitted to the House by
Assemblyman Wright, should that
measure ever reach the Senate"

ut had been my intention to make no
announcement in regard TO the action 1
would take in regard to filling the pros
pective vacancy in the Ohio representa-
ton in the United States Senate until the
vacancy actually existed. But on account
of the manifest interest of the people and
their desire to know what will be done,

LEE THREATENS TO RESIGN
Weary of Battling for American Prisoners
Without the Backing of the
Administration,

KEY WEST, FLA, Feb. 21.-Rumors
have prevailed all day here that some
thing stirring occurred in Havana yester-
day though it cannot be confirmed as yet
in any way. The story is that General
Lee is weary OF his work, and is ready and
anxious to resign if the administration
will not back him up in his latest case
that of freeing all American political
suspects in rank Spanish dungeons, or at
least securing them speedy civil trial,
such as they are EMIT ed to.
The case of DIR. Ruiz, it is claimed,
brought this up. General Lee investi-
gated the so-called suicide report and dis
credits it. He cabled his suspicious to
Secretary Olney and was told to investi-
gate. This he did, and then demanded of
the Spaniards that the body be disinterred
and post morte m held. This was re-
fused. Olney upheld Lee, and finally it
was conceded by the Spaniards. The post
mortem was held yesterday. While it re.
vealed no actual traces of foul play, vet
Lee decided that his information was such
as almost to prove it. 1t is reported that
he and the Spanish officials had sharp
words on the subject.
General Lee then, it is said. cabled Sec
retary Olney that the administration
must uphold him in his demand for the
instant release of all Americans unjustly
imprisoned as political suspects, or that
they be given speedy civil trials, the de-
mand to be enforced with the presence of
American warships. If not, then he would
resign.

CANTON, OHIO Feb. Ex-Governor W.
o. Bradley OF Kentucky and Bishop
Walden OF Cincinnati were the only call
ers upon the President-elect to-day. Gov
ernor Bradley arrived early, and took
dinner with the President-eiect. He left
Tor Cleveland in the afternoon to have a
talk wit Mark Hanna, and was accom-
panied oy Colonel Myron T. Herrick.
Mr.. Hanna is expected here on Tuesday,
and there will be several other prominent
visitors IN Canton this week. Colonel J. ].
McCook OF New York will probably be
one of them, and If he comes he is likely
To be Offered Cabinet position.
His appointment has not yet been de-
cided upon. but the chances are that he
will be the New York man in Major Nc
Kinley's Cabinet. The belief here tonight
is that he will be given an opportunity to
accept the portfolio of the Interior De-
partment.
James A. Gary of Baltimore will proba-
bly, be Postmaster for there is no
disposition to shift Ex-Governor Long of
Massachusetts from the Navy Depart
ment. AS a result of this arrangement
Judge McKenna of California will be the
Attorney-General.
Major Mckinley did not attend church
to-day and was not feeling quite as well as
usual, though it must not be supposed
that he is in danger of relapse. Captain
II. o. Heistand, Major McKinley's private
secretary, who has been confined to his
bed by the grip for several days. is much
improved in health and expects to resume
his duties by the middle of the week.

ONLY NINE MORE
DAYS FOR WORK
The Fifty-Fourth Congress
Nearing the End of
Ii Session.
Appropriation Bills Will Occupy
the Remaining Time of
the Senate.
The House to Shut Down on Further
Expenditures and Clear Up
Necessary Business

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 21.-Only
nine more working days remain for the
Fifty-fourth Congress, and the considera-
tlon of appropriation bills will compel the
Senate to make up for the time lost in
futile attempt 10 ratify the arbitration
treaty, which now appears TO have been
shelved. The pending sundry civil and
the naval bills will probably cause some
debate. The President has SO far ap-
proved the legislative, the consular and
diplomatic, the Military Academy ana the
pension bills. The army bill is in confer
ence, and the agricultural bill was agreed
to In conference yesterday. The Indian
bill Is now in the Senate, and will proba-
ply not be passed before tomorrow night.
The District OF Colum bia bill is on the cal
endar, and will be called up as soon as the
Indian bill is out of the way. This bill
may lead to prCtracted debate owing TO
fight between contending electric-light
companies.
The Appropriations Committee of the
Senate Is still considering be postotfice.
the sundry civil and the Notifications lis,
all OF which will be reached in two or three
days. OF the remaining appropriation
measures the naval bill and the general
deficiency bill are still in the House.
The bankruptcy bill still maintains its
way as the unfinished business and will
only afford an opportunity for a few
speeches should time permit. There is no
hope OF action. Mr.. Sherman has said
that he will not again call up the arbitra-
ton treaty and no more time will be con-
sumed in the consideration of that con-
vention al this session.
The House will also occupy the re-
malnder Of its time in a clearing up OF
necessary business. Three hours DEBATE
on the Pacific railroads paragraph OF the
general deficiency bill will be taken on
Monday in committee of the whole, and
then probably another day will be spent
in going over the measure in open house.
The passage OF bills under suspension OF
the rules comes in order during the clos
ing days of the session, but the House
leaders seem determined to sit down on
all m easures asking for further appropria-
llOnS of mOney.

GENE RAIL HARRISON
IS AGAIN 4 FATHER
Arrival of a Bouncing Baby Girl
Glatdens the Home of the
Ex-PFesident
Chi dish Prattle Will Now Br ighten
the Happy Delaware.Street
Mansion.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. 2L-Gen-
eral Benjamin Harrison is the father OF a
little girl. which arrived at the Delaware
street mansion at o'clock this morning.
DR.. Henry Jameson oficiated at the event
and under his care Mrs. Harrison and the
daughter are progressing finely.
Indianapolis has been on the qui vive for
this announcement for a month PAST, and
almost daily there have been rumors TO the
effect that the child had arrived. Dr.
Jameson was called last night, and with
Mrs. Barmutn, the same nurse who at
tended BABY McKee," was in attendance
until morning. Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Harri-
sons sister, was also present, having come
from New York some days ago.
The little girl is a finely formed child
and weighs SA pounds. Preparations for
the arrival have been going on at the Har-
rison home for months, and the array of
baby clothes that has been made is suffi-
cient to satisfy the fastidious tastes of even
an ex-President's daughter
Most of the fine EN- broideries that the
little one will wear were stitched by Mrs.
Harrison's own hands. The wardrobe is
nearly all in pure white. although faint
shade of blue appears in the ribbons and
in the fittings of the cradle.
General Harrison did not sleep during
the night and asked thai his daughter be
brought tn him shortly after her arrival.
He seemed to be delighted, and il there
was in his mind any disappointment that
it was not boy he gave no indication of
it. This morning was the first Sunday
since his return from his summer sojourn
in the mountains that General Harrison
has not occupied the family pew in the
First Presbyterian Church. The an
nouncement OF the arrival had reached the
church, however, and Mrs. Harrison has
been the recipient of shower of flowers
and little notes of congratulation during
the daY.

direction of the activity of those who were

Inspector of ST. LOUIS Detectives Warned
of His Approaching End BY an
UHeurfh VISITOR

ST. LOUIS, NO., Feb. 21-Inspector
William II. Williams of the city detective
department is a gentleman above re-
proach and his word has never been
doubted. This evening he hand ed note
to Chief of Detectives Desmond which
astonished that veteran. The note stated
that last night while he (Wiliams) was
asleep in his room on the third floor of the
Four Courts he was visited by ghost,
which awakened him and stated that he
had but short time to live. The spook
advised him TO prepare for death. The
visitor vanished through closed door.
Williams spent to-day in arranging his
worldly affairs. He has made his will,
arranged for pallbearers and written fare
we'll letters. Corro5orative of Williams
story is the testimony OF John Stevens.
janitor of the building, who says he en-
countered the ghostly visitor as it passed
through the hail. There is no questioning
the belief of the Inspector in The reality
of the visitor and the warning, and there
is no disposition among his associates to
ridi cule him.

Bushnell said to the Uniled Assoc ated
Pre,ses correspondent tonight that he
would be candidate for the nomination
OF Governor before the Republican State
convention this year an for that alone.
he would not be candidate for election
to the Senate by the Legislature now;
probably never would be. The Governor
said he had not reached the determination
to appoint Mr.. Hanna sud emily. 1t had
been in his mind for several weeks, but
1t was his idea that he ought not to pub
llciy announce his intention until the va
cancy actua. lv existed.
Governor Bushnell secuted the idea
that he had been induced to appoint
Chairman Hanna by the fact that George
u. Cox OF Cincinnati had declared for
him. Governor Bushnell said he consid-
cred what the distinguished sci vices of
Mr. Hanna to the party were, and the
standing of Senator Sherman in the party
the latter having asked that Hanna be
appointed 10 succeed him, made it in
cumbent upon him to bestow this honor
