The San Francisco call., 1898-12-29

Evidence is at hand to show that there are but two members of the Leg islature who favor the Senatorial can didacy of D. NJ Burns and are not ashamed to say so. There may be some others who intend to. cast their votes for Burns, but if so they are either ashamed to acknowledge the fact or prefer to keep still concerning their in- tentions in order to be in a position to rriafze a better bargain when the sack is produced after the Legislature has been convened.
 Two days ago The Call sent a tele- gram to each of the Republican mem bers of the Legislature, asking them if they favored the candidacy of D. M. Burns for the United States Senate, 1t being expressly stated that the query was put with no desire to learn the feel ing of legislators toward any other Sen atorial candidate.
 Forty-one replies were received, and of these but two expressed a, desire on the part of the sender to aid in sour ing the election of Colonel Burns. Both of these were from members of the San Francisco delegation. Of the remain ing thirty-nin eighteen were opposed to Burns candidacy and twenty-one were non -committal.
 A few of the telegrams sent out re- main undelivered, as the legislators to whom they were addressed. were away from home and could not be found. Many who received the telegraphic query either neglected to answer as re- quested or ignored it entirely. Enough replies were received, however 4o oy{x al of ha Of mind of the average legislator as re- gards the candidacy of Colonel Burns. His lieutenants claim that a majority of the members of the Legislature are pledged to vote for him. If this is so, then all but two are either ashamed or afraid to acknowledge that they even look upon his candidacy with favor.
 The replies received are published here in full that there may be no mis- understanding as to their purport. A perusal of them will serve as useful object lesson to those who have the in- terest and welfare of the State at heart.

SWALLOWED A TOOTHPICK. Serious Accident to Captain Curtin
 the Detective.

Captain Curtin, the well-known detec- tive, is lying i'll at his home on Turk street from the effects of an operation recently performed to remove a piece of toothpick which had lodged in his sys- tenn. About a week ago Captain Curtin enjoyed some fish balls at luncheon, and when later he was taken sick it was found that some foreign substance was creating the trouble.
 An operation was performed and it was found that a piece of toothpick was re- sponsible for the trouble. It was re- moved, and since that time the patient has been recuperating, but slowly, on account of complications following the operation
