old miner, rugged, homely, deep-fur-

handsome patrician features OF Billy
Bailey, his junior partner.
"Findin', Billy, means quittin'. It's
an end to the wants an priyations I've

somehow, I've come to like these still

Billy laughed gloatingly in anticipa-
ton. Then once more he fixed his eyes
with glittering intensity on the yei-
low heap which meant for him all that
life can mean to a selfish, love-lack
nature

Billy made no answer. He had long
since become resigned to the diversity
OF their tastes, and tonight he was IN
no mood for argument. He got out
some materials, and began to repair
rent in his coat. Tom rose presently,
and dumped the nuggets into gunny-
sack. Then he arranged his blankets
for the night.
"Put it away safely, Billy" he said,
jocularly, "we're already on the edge
of civilization, an must learn to be
pertickler."
''1'll look after it. never fear," said
the other, shortly; "good night"
Billy finished his task, but his mind
was still busy with thoughts of the
future. He rose and stepped out into

EX-SENATOR WHITE ON
POLITICAL CONDITIONS

LOS ANGELES, March 1s.-Ex-Senator
Stephen NJ. White, guest Of the Mer-
chants and Manufa cturers' Association,
in an address to business men, advised
them to take more interest in politics, and
said that it was necessary from a personal
as well as patriotic standpoint. Continu-
ing, Mr.. White said:
''I have always thought IL I lived in a
California community from which a good,
intelligent, active man had been sent to
Congress. / would rather vote for his re-
election than for any new man, no mat
ter what was his politics.
He spoke of the necessity of placing in
the Senate men who have at heart the
good of the people they represent, and
keeping them there long enough that they
may learn how Senatorial business is
done to accomplish the best results.
Look at the situation in California,
he said. THE chances are that we will
not have Senator to succeed myself.
can say 1 would rather have Perkins
alone than Perkins with some one who
might be elected. l am convinced that
the people favor the election of Senators
by popular vote, and | believe this senti-
ment is growing in Congress. This may
in time remedy some of the difficulties we
are now experiencing. To-day California
stands with less chance of influencing
Congress, with less weight in national af-
fairs than ever before. I do not say this
in any spirit Of reflection on the present
delegation but from the fact that new
men are to take the places of those who
have learned their business"

THE PARIS COMMUNE.
Socialists Celebrate Its Twenty
Eighth Anniversary in an APP
pronriata Manner

The twenty-eighth anniversary of the
Paris Commune of 1871 was appropriately
celebrated by the Socialist Labor party
in Union-square Hall last night NJ. w.
Wilkens acted as chairman of the even
ing, and made an Introductory speech in
which he said: 1.-THE cause of the COM
munists was the same as that of the So
cialists of to-day, but now it is a politi-
cal fight of labor against capital" He
then introduced G. B. Benham as the
speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Benham in few words painted a
picture OF the cruelty which was inflicted
on the working classes by the capitalists
who were in control of the French Ma
tonal Assembly, and drew from it the
following lesson for the working classes
THE intellectual leaders of the French
ingmen' International, an organization
which afterward spread throughout the
world, reaching as far as the Pacific
Coast. 1t was a secret organization, and
son may be learned in regard to the nihi-
lists, fighting against oppression in Rus
STA, and the Fenians in Ireland: it was
also the downfall of the Paris Commune
The working classes have since fought in
the open by political action. They are
grow are weaving a fabric out of which
two garments will be made-one a Shroud
for the capitalist system, and the other

erS of the world
Aside from the speeches an excellent
literary and musical programme was rem
dered. The ''Marseillaise" was sung by the
Mannerchoir; solos were rendered by
Miss Martha Aspden, and George Aspden
were delivered by members of the Social
list Labor party.

guage. G. M. Lewis, the conductor, at
tempted to eject him, but met with resist

clutched him by. the throat, ensued.
Policeman G. l.. Naylor witnessed the af-
fair and at once undertook to separate
the pair. He was successful in handcuff-
ing the burly offender and took him to
the corner of Mission and Third streets
to await the arrival of the patrol wagon.
While the officer was engaged in turning
in the call Aitkenson grasped the oppor-
tunity, and striking his captor with the
cuffs made a dash for liberty. He was
promptly knocked out by a well-directed
blow from the officers fists, and did not
regain consciousness until he was near
the Central station.

blow he received. His wound was dressed
at the Receiving Hospital. Two charges

SEEING HIS FRIENDS
TOM WAUcUM ARRESTED AND
LODGED IN THE TANKS.
Was Discharged From the Palace Ho-
tel and His Suddenly Acquired
Wealth Arouses Suspicion.

Tom Waucum, formerly a bellboy in the
Palace Hotel, was arrested last evening
by Policeman Baxter. and now occupies
a berth in the tanks pending an inves-
tigation of his conduct during the past
week. He was removed from Stockton and
Market streets by the policeman, and
without an opportunity to notify friends
of his Incarceration he was lodged among
other men who are under suspicion of
having committed crime.
Waucum was a victim of his own lack
of wisdom. Earlier in the evening he
flashed a wallet containing a large num-
Der of greenbacks among his friends and
enemies, and the latter having heard that
he was discharged from the Palace for
stealing, informed on him.
Since his discharge from the hotel he
has been on his ''uppers.' Out of kind
ness to him members of the Comic Club
at $50 Market street permitted him to
sleep there. He abused their kindness by
inviting a number of boon companions to
the place, and between them they con-
sumed all the liquor in the club Last
night he repaired his breach of hospitality
by paying the club for the liquids i'm
bibed by himself and companions. A few
hours later he was placed in custody and
will remain secluded until the police in

resolution it should be done without
injecting the Senatorial question into
that of adjournment.
Wolfe explained in answer to the
criticisms on his substitute that he in
troduced it at the order of no man.
He did it, he said, because he believed
the Republicans should use every eff
fort to elect a Senator. He said it was
not long since Burns was recognized as
the head of the Republican party in
this State, and he would still be the
leader had it not been for the press.
Wolfe then referred to his attitude re-
garding the other candidates, and he
begged that the followers of Burns
would not be charged with being driven
because of their loyalty to the man of
their choice.
He said he knew his substitute would
be beaten because the Senator from
Amador had the solid Democratic vote
of the Senate at his back. He said in
conclusion that he would withdraw
the substitute, and when he did SO the
Senatorial contest was over for him.
Boyce wanted a question Of personal
privilege to say he had never looked
upon Burns as the head of the Repub-
lican party in California and he was al
| lowed to speak, despite several points
of order raised to stop him. Boyce said
Burns had never been the leader and
had he been so he would have been Sen
ator to-day. He was deposed by his
own acts and methods.
Then Dickinson moved for a call of
the roll and the Assembly resolution
was adopted by this vote:
Ayes: Ashe, Bettman, Boyce, Braun
