Los Angeles Attorney to Be Put Forward for
 the Place.
May Profit by Not Having Ed itor Otis Support Before
 Nomination.
Among Those Anxious to Succeed Senator White Are R. U. BuIla,
 U. s. Grant and A. Kinney.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, March 3.-There is strong and growing disposition on the part of the Southern California Repub- licans to get behind Henry T. Gage of this city for Governor. MT. Gage has heretofore been frequently spoken of in connection with the United States Sen atorship, to succeed White, and it was supposed he would enter the fight It has. however, for some time been an open secret among MT. Cages friends that he had no disposition to strive for an office which, if secured, would take him out of California, and his friends say that he has definitely decided not to bother about the Senatorship. The same people assert that MT. Gage would not be at all averse to accepting the nomination for Governor.
 Gage is admittedly one of the strong est men in his party in this end of the State. He is a lawyer of much abil- ity. and is a man of great force of character. He possesses all the ele- ments which will enable him to make rattling campaign, including an ample private fortune. It is not believed that the relations between him and Colonel Otis of the Times. those of lawyer and client, would prove nearly so disastrous to his chances as a candidate for Gov eTnor as if he was an aspirant for the SenatOrship. In fact, Otis would prob ably decline to recede from his position in favor of Fitzgerald for Governor, even if Gage became a candidate. This will be an advantage to Gage, as 1t is conceded by all that Otis support is much more desirable after nomination than before. MT. Gage is, of course, at this time not an assured candidate, but The Call correspondent car state with a degree of certainty that he will not refuse the support now being rendered him. and that his name will be pre- sented to the next Republican State Convention for the gubernatorial nomi- nation.
 This leaves the Southern California Senatorial field to Hon. R. U. Bulla of this city and T.. $. Grant of San Diego, with a very strong impression prevail ing here that the Senatorship will go to the north. The Democrats believe that Senator Whites successor should come from the south, and since that gentleman's retirement have been east ing around for a suitable candidate. They believe they have found one in the person of Abbot Kinney, a wealthy resident of this city, who is one of the Kinney brothers who manufacture cig- arettes. MT. Kinney has always been ent is one Of Governor Budd's Yosemite commissioners. He is what is known as a reform Democrat. but it is be- lieved that he would require but little persuasion to enter the Senatorial fight. and being in it it is believed that he would loosen up sufficiently to make it very warm for his opponents

PROBABLY FATAL FALL
 DOWN A MINING SHAFT.
George Jennings of San Jose Badly Injured at the Senson Gravel
 

SAN ANDREAS. March 3.-George Jen- nings, a son of Byron Jennings of San Jose, who is operating the Senson gravel mine, half a mile west of town, was seri- ously if not fatally injured this evening. The young man was employed in the shaft, which is about seventy-five feet deep, with a stump of twenty feet, super intending the repairing of large pump. When he started to scale the ladder to go on top he evidently missed his footing, for he fell to the landing below and rolled through the manhole into the stump.
 The miners in the shaft saw him strike the landing, but were unable to rescue him until he had tumbled off into the stump, which contained fifteen feet of wa ter. His comrades quickly rushed to his assistance and saved him from drowning.
 When brought to the surface he was unconscious, and an examination of his injuries by a physician disclosed an ugly wound on the back of his head that may prove fatal

POLICE PROHIBIT
 ALL FESTIVITIES.
Russians Do Not Relish Celebrations in Honor of the Memory of a
 Great Polish Poet.

BERLIN, March 3.-A dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Warsaw says the police have prohibited all festivities in connection with the centenary of the birth of the poet Adam Mickiewicz. The prohibition has made a great sensation.
 Mickiewiecz, the Polish poet, was born in 1798, and died in 1855. In 1895 he visited the Crimea, which inspired a collection of sonnets greatly admired for excellence of rhythm and rich col bring. Three years later appeared his "Konrad Wallenrod,' a narrative poem describing the battles of Knights of the Teutonic order with the heather Lithua- nians Here, under a thin veil, he rep resented the sanguinary passage-at- arms and burning hatred that had characterized the long feuds of the Russians and Poles. The objects of the poem, though evidently many, escaped the Russian censors, and it was suf- fered to appear. With his Pan Tad uesz," usually considered his master piece, he did much to stimulate the ef- forts of the Poles to shake off their Russian conquerorS.

tiago guns, are the advanced lines Of the
American troops Last week it was the

is the infantry position. The light artif-
iery, four batteries Of four guns each, is
planted along the mountain sides In shell

them to do better work than during the
early engagements. Eight mortar guns
are back at Gen. Skaters headquarters
Inc heavy Siege guns are at Siboney
further back on the seacoast. If further

surrender, this heavy artillery can be
brought over the roads bad as they are.
The dynamite gun is on the hillside near

from chance handling. 1T fired a few shots
