had created the impression that Presi-
dent Mckinley feared the treaty would
be defeated in the Senate, and appre-
hended an obstinate resistance on the
part Of the Philippine insurgents
against the Americans, who desire to
deprive them of independence and de-
base the Spanish Government, which
are sufficient reasons for the triumph
of the anti-annexationists in the Sen
ate. Therefore, the Premier insisted
that the convocation of the Cortes
should no longer be delayed.
The Cabinet met again this evening,
Senior Sagasta presiding. 1t appears
that the evidence before the court
martials showed that General Jaudenes
had sufficient ammunition to have en-
abled him to resist longer. The court
ordered his arrest, whereupon he sur
rendered himself, attired in civilian
dress and accompanied by his son and
several ministers of state. General Cor
rea confirmed the arrest. 1t is reported
that the court-martial will exonerate
General Toral on the ground that he
acted under superior instructions, but
that Admiral Montejo, who was de-
feated by Admiral Dewey at Cavite.
will be tried for the incompetent condi-
ton Of his fleet.
The newspapers assert also that Ad-
miral Cervera is awaiting trial, and
that therefore he will not be able to
take his seat as a Senator on the re-
assembling of the Cortes.
1t is understood that at the Cabinet
meeting this evening Senor Capedepon,
Minister Of Interior proposed that the
suspension of the constitutional guar
antees should now cease

| the idea in mind that it would retain
him in the Grant camp. The report
also sets forth that it is apparent that
Grant knew that his money was being
spent in a manner calculated to in
| fuence members of the Legislature
relative to the manner in which they
should vote for United States Senator.
The committees report deals at some
length with the transaction whereby
William F. Herrin issued two railroad
tickets from San Francisco to New
York to a friend of Assemblyman Mer-
rill at the request of Dan Burns. The
badness of the excuse given by Burns
and Herrin on the witness stand is
pointed out. as we'll as the limping ex-
planation given of the transaction by
these two justly celebrated politicians.
| One detail in particular, that of pay
ment for the tickets, is made a subject
for comment not particularly compli-
mentary to either Burns or Herrin. Still
another count is added to the indict-
ment of Herrin and the further ar
raignment of Wright. 1t is the transac-
ton whereby Wright went to Herrin
and secured mileage ticket over the
Southern Pacific Conpany's lines. The
report sets forth that Herrin testified
that Wright paid for the ticket. but the
Assembly is left to judge as to the truth
or falsity of the statement.
When the investigating committee
met to-day a dispatch from Charles G..
Lamberson was read to account for his
failure to appear before the committee
in response to the subpoena that was
served on him last Sunday. The tele-
gram stated that Lamberson would be
in Sacramento by noon TOMORROW
The committee agreed that if he did
specified he would be reported to the
Assembly as having disobeyed the
summons of the committee.
After some discussion as to the proper
course to be pursued to secure the tes-
timony Of Milton ]. Green in the mat
ter of the accusation that Assembly
man Cosper solicited through Lamber-
son $4,000 bribe from Green it was
finally decided to appoint a committee
to take Green deposition, he being con-
fined to his room at the Golden Eagle
Hotel by illness. Chairman Cosper ap-
pointed Burnett, Melick and La Baree.
Green's physician refused to allow any
one to see him this afternoon or this
evening, but agreed to permit the com
mittee to take his deposition tomorrow
morning.
Assemblyman R. C. Dale who, it was
said. declined an offer of $4,000 to vote
for R. N. Bulla as his second choice for
Senator, has not yet been found by the
sergeant-at-arms of the committee. He

After Turning the Member From Alameda Over to the Tender MeCes of the
House, the Report viii Censue in Severest Terms Grant and

Of Money

~ ALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 26.-If the recon-
mendations of the Assembly In
vestigating Committee are ac-
cepted Speaker Howard E. Wright
will be shorn of power and dismissed
from his seat in the Assembly. The
coat of whitewash that Colonel Burns
promised him will not be applied, unless
it is done by a majority vote of
Wright's fellow members.
Not only will Speaker Wright lose his
he is to be given company in his dis
grace. Milton J. Green, U. S. Grants
political manager, is on the report for
as warm a scoring as honest men can
give one whom they believe has re-
sorted to dishonest and reprehenstble
methods to influence and debauch
members of the Legislature. Mr.. Grant,
who provided the money which was
doled out by Green to prospective leg
islators in return for promises that
they would vote for Grant for Senator,
is scored in the report as a person who
has aided and abetted a practice so
repreheHs Bile that it deserves the most
severe censure at the hands of the Leg
islature and all people who have an in
terest in the fair fame of the State.
Having dealt out stern and equal jus
tice to Wright, Green and Grant, the
committee will, in its report, take up
the case of D. NJ. Burns and William
F. Herrin. The acts of this pair Of
politicians in issuing passes and rail-
road tickets to legislators will be COM
mented on so severely and so plainly'as
to leave no doubt as to the conclusion
of the committee that the issuance of
this transportation was for the pur
pose of influencing the votes of legisla-
tors in the Senatorial contest.
The committee report as it will be
presented to the Assembly tomorrow
afternoon or Saturday morning is COM
plete with the exception of such part
as will relate to the investigation of
the accusation that has been made
against Assemblyman Cosper, chair
man of the committee. Evidence bear
ing on this charge will be taken to-
morrow morning and the conclusions of
the committee regarding it will then
be added to the report as it now stands
The report as prepared recites that
Speaker Wright received the sum of
1850 from Milton J. Green, and that in
the opinion of the committee the money
The San Francisco call., 1899-01-27

was paid and received under an agree
ment. understanding or pledge that
Wright should vote for Grant for Sena-
tor. Each important detail of the evil
dence pointing to the conclusion that
Wright received the money. and that
he received it by reason of a pledge
given to vote for Grant, will be set
forth, that the Assembly may judge of
the business of the conclusions arrived
at by the committee. Having done
this. the committee will suggest that
the proper course to be pursued should
be expulsion of Wright from the As
sembly. 1t will be stated, however,
that inasmuch as Wright is the Speak
er of the Assembly and that he was
given the position by the Assembly, it
should rest with that body, and not
with the committee, to mete out such
punishment to him as may seem to fit
the crime.
In the case of Green the committee
will set forth that he has used the
money of his employer in a manner cal
culated to prevent the exercise by GER
tain members of the Legislature OF
their own viii and choice in the matter
of the election of a United States SEN
ator. Also that money so used was
given to present members of the Leg
islature at time when they were
seeking alacfioo apd +bof ;+ 49, IT,.
in return for promises given by the
members themselves to men who were
so situated as to be able to control
them, that they would, in case of their
election, vote for Grant for United
States Senator. The case of Wright
will be cited as a proof of this, and that
of Jilson of Siskiyou, who admitted
having received $4OO from Dan T. Cole.
who in turn admitted having received
it from Green to promote Grants can
didacy.
The report sets forth that while it is
probable that in a majority if not all
instances where money was paid To
legislators or TO men who expected to
become Legislators Mr.. Grant NAV have
been ignorant of the details of the ac-
tual transactions as we'll as the
pledges demanded and received, it is
still true that he provided the funds
and should therefore be held equally
guilty with Green. In one instance
cited-that of the payment to Wright of
s750-it'is known that Grant knew that
the money was for Wright, and, if no
worse, that it was given Wright with

They sent him away in the face of
the session of the court. 1t would
be a hardship to his clients to have

Mr.. Wales said that this witness

Judge Bradford stated that after

would not be proper to force the
defendants into trial under the CTR

the case at this term. If it is i'm

character of men at all times was
of more Importance than the char
