SACRAMENTO. CAL. Jan. 27.-There
was not very lively session of the Duck
worth investigation committee this after
noon. Mr.. Duckworth was still too sick
to get out and the committee went on
without him.
E. S. Gridley, journal clerk, was called
to the stand. He produced his records
showing Duckworth's original list of ap-
pointments; also letter from Duckworth
to the State Printer, in whic ch Duckworth
stated that in copying the names for the
Printer ne (Duckworth J had omitted the
name of C. H. Rodriguez, and he there
fore asked the State Printer to put the
name in the journal of the next day.
He also showed a slip of paper with the
name OF ]. L. Martin on it. This, the
witness could not explain, except that
somebody had given it to the State
Printer to add to the list. The other
names were placed in the journal.
Minute Clerk Wickham was called, but
he could not make any lucid explanation.
he did not think that Duckworth had any
right to go over and correct the minutes
him. Neither had he any right to go to
the printing Office and MAKE the correc-
ton.
Mr.. Gridley was recalled and said that
on January another list of names was
handed to him by Wickham or Duckworth,
he was not certain which one of them. He
knew that it was one of them, because he
would not have received such a list from
any one else. 1t was further correction
of the jour- nal Of January 4. The journal
was corrected so as to include this list of
names. What is known as the bond copy
of the journal included tins list of names.
They we're handed in by Duckworth on
the 9th. Speaker Coombs instructed him
(Gridley) to insert that list in the journal
as a correction.
These names had been suggested by
mem bers in the body of the house-he
did not know whom. Bond copies of the
journal are printed on bond paper, with
blank spaces for the signatures of the
clerk and the Speaker, and these are filed
with the Secretary of State. The bond
copies show that these men were ap-
pointed on January 4. whereas in fac t
they were appointed on the 9th.
North of Alameda, the next witness
prod uced list of attaches with the names
of the member who had recomme nded
them to Mr. ckworth, but at the request
OF Judson G. Brusie, counsel for the chief
clerk, the list was not read nor given to
the press, not being admitted in evidence
because OF the absence of Mr.. Duckworth,
who wished to make some corrections in
~ ffaa od, 1.
ject to the call of the chair.
Speaker Coombs denies emphatically
that he ordered the additional names

March Is, and he also intimated strongly
that an understanding has been reached
with the doubtful Senators which insures
the success of an administration tariff
bill.
The programme as arranged is that
Chairman Dingley of the Committee on
Ways and Means where the bill will origs
mate, will frame bill.
He is at it now and Senator Aldrich is
assisting him and preventing the incor-
pora ton of any clause that will meet
with objection in the upper branch OF
Congress. When the measure reaches the
Senate he is to pilot it through.
The programme, as it is arranged, calls
for the passage of a bill within sixty days,
and the schedules to be arranged so as
that the measure would be in full force
and effect with the beginning of the fiscal
year, on July 1.
The bill is to be distinctively a protec-
tion bill, incorporating, so far as it is
prectica BILE, the main features of the Nc
Kinley law, but the first requirement oil
the new measure is that it shall produce
sufficient revenue to meet the needs of the
Government.
The desire OF the administration, Mr..
Hanna said, is to get the tariff measure
into operation as soon as possible. so that
the country may experience the relief OF
its increased revenues. That, he said, is
what the country needs, and until it is
secured no substantial improvement can
be expected. He expects an era of pros.
pc rity TO Immediately follow the enact.
ment of the new tariff bill and hopes for
but little relief from the present depres-
sion be fore that time.

LONDON, ENG, Jan. ga dispatch to
the Mail from Vienna SAYS that violent
quarrel occurred between Princess Chi
may, formerly Clara Ward of Detroit, and
Janos Rigo, the Hungarian gypsy musician
for whom the Princess recently deserted
her husband. The screa ms OF the Princess
and the violent language of Rigo created
great excitement and alarm among the
guests of the hotel where the couple were
staying and complaint was made to the
landlord. The affair ended by the depart
ure of the Princess, 6ho started unat-
tended by the gypsy for Monte Carlo.
Before leaving the Princess paid her own
share of the board Que at, the hotel, but
refused to pay that unpaid by Rigo, who

being in need of money to settle his ac-
count. -i

LXMAN j. CAGES CAREER.
Was at One Time Night Watchnram at a

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 27.-Lyman ].
Gage, the foremost fnancier in the West
erD metropolis, and who is likely to sue
ceed Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle,
was born at DeRuyter, Madison County,
n. Y, June 28 1886. His parents, Eli A.
and Mary Judson Gage, were descended
from English stock, and were born in New
York State. Lyman was taken to Rome,
N. Y, when 10 years old and placed in
the Rome Academy, where he remained
four years. His term in that institution
practically constituted his entire scholas-
tic education.
His first position in business life was as
clerk in the Rome postoffice, and later he
became route agent on the Rome and
Watertown Railroad. In 1854 Mr.. Gage
obtained his first bank position. being
employed in the Oneida Central Bank, at
Rome, at salary of 500 year.
He remained there a year and half,
and in the fall of 1885 he arrived in Chi
cago. He took the first job be could get,
with lum ber-yard and planning mill firm.
He was engaged as bookkeeper, but he did
other utility work, such as loading and
unloading lumber and teaming. The ex-
treme business depression of 1858 COM
PEELED the firm to dispense with his ser
vices as bookkeeper but rather than have
no job at all Mr.. Gage worked for six
weeks as night watchman of the firms
property.
While engaged in that humble but
bread winning capacity the opportunity
Of Mr.. Cages life came to him in the
shape of an offer of position as book
keeper for the Merchants Savings, Loan
and Trust Company.
From that position, nearly two score
years ago, Mr. Cages career has been up
ward by long. steady strides until now he
occupies the highest position which can
be attained in any financial institution In
Chicago, that of president of the First Ma
tional Bank. in the spring of 1860 he had
become assistant cashier OF the Merchants
Bank; later cashier, which office he held
until 1868 when he accepted the same
position in the service OF the First Ma
tional Bauk with which he has remained
continuously. His promotion was rapid.
The old charter of the bank expired in
1882, and upon the reorganization of the
bank Mr.. Sage was elected vice-presldent
and general manager.
About the same time a. special compli-
m MT was paid to his ability as banker
by his election to the presidency of the
American Bankers Association. About
two years ago this week Mr.. Gage was
elected president of the bank on the re-
tirement of Mr.. Nicholson, although Mr..

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. Ex-Governor
Bushnell tonight admitted that it was
true that Senator Sherman had written q
letter to him in regard to his RESIGNATION
from the Senate. He said the letter was
private and as he had regarded it as con-
fidential he would still do so, though he
might ultimately give it to the public.
No one but himself had seen it. He
would say. however, what every one would
guess anyhow, that the Senator told him
that he would probably soon resign and
that he thought it would be best Tor the
party and for the State and country if
Mr.. Hanna would be appointed as his
successor.
1t is generally believed that the Gov
ernor will not comply with Senator
Sherman's request and his manner of
speaking of the advice he had received
from the Senator seemed to corroborate
this view of it.

Il CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 27.-Lyman j.
Gage, president of the First National
Bank of Chicago, received telegram this
afternoon from Major Mckinley, asking
him to come to Canton. Mr.. Gage left on
the II 30 train to- night over the Pennsyl-
vania road and will arrive in Canton at
80 tomorrow afternoon.
Major McKinIey's message is taken as
an indication that he will tender the
treasury portfolio to the Chicago banker.
CANTON, OHIO, Jan. 27.-The complex
political problem surrounding the selec-
ron of Major McKInley's Cabinet is now
believed to be practically solved, and
Lyman J. Gage OF Chicago as Secretary OF
the Treasury is regarded as the key to the
situation, and the almost certain choice of
. the President-elect. This nc oral certainty
is strengthened by the fact that the presi-
dent of the First National Bank of Chi
cago is now on his way to Canton, in re-
sponse to the telegraphed request OF the
major to visit him.
Chairman Hanna came here and was
engaged for several hours to-day in con-
sultation with Mr. Mckinley. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Hanna approved of Mr..
Gage as chief of the treasury. 1t is known
that ever since the election of Mr.. McKin-
ley powerful personal and political pres
sure has been exerted on the next Presi-
dent, especially from friends and Repub-
lican leaders in Chicago and the Middle
Western State, TO procure the appointment
OF Mr.. Gage for the treasury portfolio.
The work has been done in such a quiet
and dignifed manner that public atten-
tion has not been directed toward the
influence until recently. 1t is now be-
lieved that Mr.. Cages appointm TO the
treasury will be determined this week.
When that position is filed the other
portfolios can easily be disposed of, ex-
cept as TO that to be given to New York.
That problem remains as intricate as ever
but the impression prevails here that
General Woodford has the best cha nee of
appointment.
The President-elect does not seem to
have been influenced against General
Woodford by the mild protest which was
entered against him yesterday from East
ern visitors.
Colonel John Hay is here in the interest
of friend and does not now expect a
Cabinet position for himself.
Ex-Governor Osborn, who has been the
guest of Cornelius Bliss at Jeykill Island,
on the Georgia Coast, will remain here
until Friday and then return East.
Mr.. Hannas visit Is not taken to have
any bearing on the Ohio Senatorial situa-
tion. Cabinet and Inauguration matters
engrossed the time of his conference with
Major Mckinley.
Governor Bushnell has received letter
from Senator Sherman, stating that he
will not resign his seat in the Senate until
he is confirmed as Secre tary of State.

Yesterday morning the examination

she had known Stevens for eighteen
years, and had corresponded with him
at intervals during that time without
the knowledge of her husband. She

We're asked hen by Assistant District
Attorney Jones and denied that she had
only known Stevens for a year. She
admitted having received a, note from
Stevens yesterday after court adjourn
ed, a copy of which was read to her
and in which Stevens told her to sell
Laederich's revolver and apply the two
horses toward procuring bail for him.
Assistant District Attorney Jones in
his argument gave Mrs. Laederich a
terrible scoring, bringing up the fact
that she had the day before sent money
20 Stevens in order that "he might not
have to eat the prison food" as she
expressed it, and saying that there was
no objection on her part to her hus-
bands having to eat the prison food
when he was arrested. He also scored
her for spending the little money she
tie property remaining was about to be
sold and she might need it at any time
to buy food for her -year-old boy.
Justice Henry held Stevens to answer
and fixed his bail at $1,000.

A ADJUSTMENTS.

The Smyth and Rice Company had a
good and thoroughly well pleased
house at the Metropolitan Theater last
evening, when the latest Du Souchet
farce comedy My Friend From India"
was played. It is more than clever
troupe, it is indeed group of very
successful low comedians among whom
Frederic Bond, May Vol1es and John
F. Ward are the leaders. The play is
an extravagant thing of course, but
without the distortion that character
ICES farce comedy as a general thing.
1t is in three acts and from the begin
ming to the ned the audience was kept
in the merriest humor possible. The
mirth is indeed fun fast and furious
as the saying goes. In short II Is
about the funniest farce comedy we
have had here in years, and is the more
so that it is not marred by buffoonery.
There is one skit in it THE Mirror
Scene" that is more than funny, it is
genuine wit and rises above the COM
mon level. The scenery is very pref
ty. The play will not be given to-
night, as the company goes East this
evening, but will be played at mat
inee performance at 2 o'clock this af-
