cALIFoRNIANs TO CAUCUS.
The End of the Senatorial De.dIocI
Believed to BE Near.

Sacramento, Feb. 12.-The senatorial Sit
uation has changed materially and all in
dications point to an early ending OF the
deadlock. The Sacramento Record Union, -
the organ of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, which is the great power behind
the candidacy of d. NJ. Burns yesterday
declared in favor OF an open caucus.
Most OF the aspirants acquiesce with
more or less good grace, and next week a
caucus will be held, the deadlock broken,
and United States Senator favored by the
Southern Pacific viii probably be chosen.
The plan is to eliminate the lowest man at
each successive ballot in caucus until the
result is reached. 1t is believed that this
process will result in the choice of Burns.
The colonel thinks so himself.
The Record Union" article was couched
in such language al to leave no doubt that
the corporation meant business. BY an
open caucus is meant all who desire 10
be admitted, including the press While
at present II seems sure the caucus will be
| held, few hours may change the situa-
| tion altogether, as the Grant men are only
| half hearted in their consent 10 an oper
caucus and are likely 10 kick over The

DIR. ALExANDER's sEANcE.
\ Large Audience Hystifed by Hi.
Strange Performance.

The Academy of Music was crowded 70
the doors last night, the occasion being
the spiritualistic entertainment by DR..
John J. Alexander, who gave an excellent
exhibition and sent his audience away
completely mystified.
DR.. Alexander made no claim whatever
as to how he performed his manifestations
or rickery. but left the matter 10 the
judgment of his audience.
4 committee was selected from the audi
eDce to watch the operations on the stage
and was composed OF four representative
business men OF the city The cabinet used
consisted merely of curtains stretched over
a framework OF common gaspipes Dr..
Alexander was tied to chair in the eabi-
net with hands bound so tightly with
cloths that the members became swollen
and discolored Then. with the curtains
drawn and with the committee stationed on
all sides of the cabinet, bells were rung.
tamb0urines were shaken and thrown in
every direction over the stage. After this
Mr Pike, proprietor of the Bismarck Hotel,

and-a-half and Third Streets northwest.
entered the cabinet with the medium, who
was securely bound. Mr.. Pike declared
that he plainly felt hands passing over
MS DOtlN anu NHtH tHs SuI lsi4iiS we're isi-Seu
was dumfounded to see that his own coat
was on the back of the medium, who was
still fastened as at first.
One of the best manifestations of the
evening was when Powell, the assistant of
Dr. Alexander entered the cabinet and
was seated in a high-back chair. The
committee placed over him canvas sack,
which was tied at both ends. fastened with
screw eyes and buttons, and then sealed
with wax. Powell was completely en-
closed in the sack. The lights were low
cred and the cabinet closed. The four
committeeman then stationed themselves
around the cabinet. When the curtain was
raised a ghost-like figure was also in the
cabinet with Powell. The curtains were
closed and when opened another figure
was found TO be in the cabinet. After
the cabinet had been opened a third time
Powell was found to have disappeared and
/ q few moments later made his appearance
in the audience. The committee then ex~
! amined the floor, cabinet. and chair and
! reported that the wax seals remained un-
! broken Or. Alexander also performed
| slate writing and poured different kinds
( OF liquids out OF the same pitcher.
4 One Of the most surprising tricks was
the handcuffng OF DR.. Alexander by on
: officer OF the city police. After being in
/ the cabinet a few seconds DIR. Alexander
: returned the handouts locked to The nan
die OF a pitcher and TO the round Of a
/ chair All the various features were per-
formed in the light, except the disappear
Z ance of Powell and the naturalization of

DISTRICT DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Local Measures Which May BE Act.

Today is District day, but the end of the
session is so near that there seems little
use in pressing any except the most i'm

Committee has prepared is therefore, not
so large as it usually is.
Among the bills that may be called up
are the following Fl. r. 1924. to quit

Dix: II. K. $3.50 to regulate the sale of
poisons; II. r. 1863 to extend the Metro

THE WEEK IN THE HOUSE.
ProhnbId Work tn Re Considered In
the Lower Hu,Iy.

Only three weeks remaint OF the present
session and dozens of measures are crowd
ing for attention AT thejhams Of Congress.
Yet no special order for tile coming week
ID the House has been madc, except one
setting aside saturday afternoon for eu-
lugics on the late representative Stephen
4. Northway Of Ohio.
The greater part of the week will prob
ably be occupied by The appropriation bills.
Monday is District day, but there is not
very large grist on hand and some time
may remain over for other measures.
The suudry civil bill is now under dis
Cussiun tn, general debate having been
concluded and the reading of the bill being
about to b., begun. Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa
has given notice of his intention to offer
his Nicaragua Canal bill as an amend
| ment to the bill, and 1t is stated by those
in favor of it that if it be ruled out on
a point of order by the Chair. appeal
will he taken to the House.
If the decision of the Chair be over
ruled and the amendment incorporated
Mr. Cannon has threatened that he will
flibuster against the passage of the bill.
Two other appropriation bills, those for
fortiications and the army, have been re-
ported, and third, the naval, is ready
to be. Several days will be consumed in
their consideration. leaving little time for
other measures.
! If any time remain, the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds will prob
ably get it for the further consideration
of the measures blocked last Tuesday by
| flibustering. Mr. Mercer of Nebraska is
understood to have prepared an omnibus
bill carrying 100000 worth of buildings
already approved in Committee OF the
Whole, which he will ask the House to

from absent members received AT the va
rious headquarters indicate that unless the
trains are storm stayed the Monday night
meeting OF the House will be attended by
nearly every member OF the body, and 1t
is confidently asserted that an effort will
be made to reconsider the vote by which
the McCarreIl bill was last week postponed
until March p.
The QUAY managers have intimated that
they will move to reconsider the post
ponement, and the anti-Quay people say
that II the matter is not taken up by the
Ouayites 1t will be taken up by their side
when an effort will be made 10 force a
decision on the point alleged 10 have been
overlooked by the Quay people when con-
sderation of the measure was postponed.
After the vote was taken and carried by s3
to 90 the anti-QVay people reflected upon
the lack of parliamentary knowledge on
the part of their opponents. and insisted
that postponement TO fixed day made the
bill special order for that time. and that
special order could only be obtained by
two-thirds vote. The anti-Quay people
contend that no one who voted for the
postponement could be induced TO move
for It's reconsideration, but that one OF
their followers may call the matter up
with view 10 securing an indefinite post
ponement of the bill. On account of these
conflicting rumors the Legislators have
