FUSION ORGANIZATION.
Republicans May Not BE Able to
Control the Senate.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-The declaration
of Senator Dubois today that the Republicans
could not organize the next senate, disclosed
purpose that has been forming for a fusion
organization of that body. 1t is the intention
TO have the three parties opposed to the
Republicans-the Democrats, the Populists
and silver Republicans--caucus separately
and appoint representatives to confer for the
purpose of fusion organization. 1t will re-
quire the support of all the factions opposed
to the Republicans to accomplish this result,
the gold Democrats well as the silver Dem
ocratS.
There is no purpose to organize to prevent a
tariff bill from being considered. The silver
Republicans would prefer that organization
be deferred until such tariff bill as the
Republicans want shall be brought before the
senate and passed 1t is intimated that silver
men will facilitate the reporting of such a
measure as the Republicans of the committee
may agree upon. 1t is possible that the silver
Republicans may not vote for a tariff
measure. but they could refrain from voting,
and that would pass the measure.

Republican votes. You have not

they do not belong to you and you will

Canovas May Be Compelled to Re
sign From Office.
NEW YORK. Feb. PA dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: Spain's
foreign minister, the Duke of Tetuan,
has cabled to the Spanish legation at
Washington the contents of a telegram
from the Marquis of Ahumada, the
acting captain general at Havana, stat
ing that an official inquiry shows no
blame attaches to the officials of the
prison, to the other prisoners or to the
authorities of Guanabacoa for the
death of DR.. Ruiz. The marquis adds
that both the Spanish and the Ameri-
can physicians have officially certified
that Ruiz's death was due to conges-
ton of the brain and there was no indi-
cation of a blow or of ill-treatment.
All the newspapers except the caut-
ious ministerial organs, are echoing
the extreme irritation of all classes
of the Spanish people, and severely
censure the government for advising
the queen to grant Sanguilly liberty.
Several papers believe the incident will
lead to the resignation of the Canovas
ministry.

ART AND SAUSAGE.
Both Stricken From the Free List
by Tariff Tinkers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Free art,
which was a prominent feature of the
Wilson tariff act, will not be perpetu-
ated in the new tariff bill The Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee have been giving consider
able attention to the subject, and to-
day they decided to take paintings and
statuary from the free list and to make
them dutiable at rs per cent ad valoreln.
The Mckinley rate was Is per cent
ad valorem. 1t was argued when the
subject was discussed during the
preparation of the Wilson act that
the admission of the works of foreign
artists free, would tend to elevate the
art standards of the United States
and the public taste.
The committee also took bologna
sausages from the free list and made
them dutiable at 25 per cent ad valOr-

and was seized because of a violation of
the custom laws which provide that no
Chinese shall import the drug. The con-
signment, it is said. was the property of
Fong, Tai & Co. To import the opium the
Chinese firm had 1t consigned to H. P.
Davidson, accountant of the Bank of Brit
ish Columbia, who transferred it to the real
importers as soon as it passed the customs
officials.
The consignments were about to be moved
from the warehouse to the Chinese store
when the government officials took posses
sion. The government officials state that the
system of acting as nominal importers to aid
Chinese firms has been practced for the
last ten years The customs officials say it
is improbable that either Davidson or Fong
Tai will be prosecuted for the infringement
of the law.

AS the parade wound past the Abbots-
ford inn yesterday. an incident occurred
that illustrated the pluck of the two
little Kissler girls, who attracted so
much attention before the queen with
their ponies. The Shetland of the small
er girl, which was driven by her sister,
who stood upright in the saddle, be-
came frightened and whirled around
suddenly. throwing the little rider. The
elder girls horse then began TO cavort
around, and the two became pretty bad
ly tangled up by reason of the several
cords by which they were attached.
Miss Anna Kissler then jumped to the
ground, etill holding her pony by the
bride. Several bystanders rushed to the
assistance of the little riders, and they
were again placed upon their horses and
started off as if nothing had happened.
The whole affair took place In an instant
and the two children were heartily
cheered as they rode away with the pa
rade.
All the offices in the city hall closed at
noon yesterday, and this will be the rule
during the remainder of the week
The decorations OF the city hall are
among the most striking on the street
and were much ADMIRED by the thou
sands of visitors.
Assistant Fire Chief Ed Smiths wagon
was one Of the most elaborately decor
ated in the parade. over 1900 carnations
were used, besides other flowers The
work was designed and executed by the
wife of Mr. Smith.
The front balconies of the city haIl
were filled yesterday afternoon by the
families and invited guests of the Off
cials This is one of the best points from
which to view the parade on the entire
line
The Byrne building, at the corner of
Third street and Broadway. was con-
spicuous by the absence of any attempt
at decoration The fact that the head
quarters of the Fiesta committee are
located in this building made the omis-
sion all the more noticeable.
Fire Chief Moore was one of the
proudest men in the yesterday. The
various companies exerted themselves
to the utmost, and the result was that
;rfc
of the most attractive in the parade.
Six Cinnamon armed with Winchester
rifles, heading thirt yor forty of their
countrymen armed with the pixies and

the parade started cars were blockaded
at many points. Forty were counted
at the Plaza and fifteen on South Spring
street between Third and Fourth.
The apparent attempt of the Chinese
dragon to reach up and gobble the queen
and her fair maids of honor being pre-
vented only by the frantic efforts of the
Celestial dragon fighters, was highly ex-
citing-to the Chinese spectators at the
tribunes.
All the caballeros doffed their SOM
breros to the queen and several of their
horses saluted her majesty
A ripple of merriment rolled over the
crowd at the tribunes when that old
Indian squaw removed her flower
bedecked bonnet and bowed to the
queen.
1t was a great day for the Chinese.
There were thousands on the streets,
and most of them followed the sacred
dragon and lion. Some of the Celestiale
from the rural districts were greatly ex-
cited.

and some of them are competing for
prizes.
Freddie Simpson, a 14-year-old boy
living near Santa Monica was knocked
down by a horse on the corner Of
Second and Spring streets during the
parade, but only slightly injured.
Hiram Adamson, a young man who
says he works on q large ranch near
Calab complained to the police yes
terday that he had been robbed of $24
including his last cent, by two men
who approached him on Third street,
near Main, and insisted that he join
them in social game of cards until the
parade came along. He accepted the
invitation, and in less than twenty min
utes, by a sleight of hand performance
his purse and money were gone.
At no similar series of games in South
ern California has better or more costly
prizes been offered than for the events
in La Fiesta carnival of sports to be held
at Athletic park today
The arrangements for the queens
comfort at Athletic park during the
carnival of sports are most generous and
outside the throne at the tribunes the
queens stand is moet costly of any
similar construction.
Nothing could be more humorous or a
greater cause of side splitting mirth
than the Gymhanka races to be given at
Athletic park today. Imagine the ludi-
crous capers one would cut In attempt

The annex overlooks the gates of the
tribunes and a view is obtained OF the
professions both as they enter and leave
the grounds.
The salutation to the queen by the
hook and ladder boys was of an elevated
character. The truck halted in front of
the throne and the fifty-foot ladder was
raised by the crank to a perpendicular.
