Pence ana Quiet in til" suburbs Following

SuDtrv nights in the northern suburbs have
n charm OF their own. They come at the end
of those hot, hUmid days, whom the shafts Of
tho sun descend with the power of bludgeons,
telling man and beast With the coming Of
dusk the sky is ralled in dense folds OF cloud
that shut away at once the stars and the great
city until the latter seems but memory save

the suburbs from assaiug noises. Peace Is
the note of the night sky, of the dim fields OF
the blurred woodland. Trees through which
on clear nights the stars sparkle here and
there rise limiy outlined against the clOuded
heavens mu1ed and maGniled in the prevail

the malignant keen whisper Of the trolley is
toned in unison with the general peace and

THEY REGARD SCOTT
AS MOST AVAILABLE
Explanation of the Sudden Boom
to His Senatorial
Aspirations.

The announcement that Irving NJ.
Scott was to enter upon an active can
vass for the United States Senatorship
caused considerable of a stir in political
circles yesterday. 1t was the general
impression that with Mr.. Scott avowed
ly in the fight an entirely new aspect
was given to the whole situation.
What strength he will develop at
Sacramento is, of course, purely con-
lecture, and there are some who are in
clined to the belief that he will merely
complicate matters the more, instead
of presenting an easy way out of the
present dilemma. The gentlemen who
are at the head of Mr.. Scott's cam
paign have put him forward more
prominently in the hope that the con-
tending factions in the Legislature will
be able to unite on him and bring to
an end the long deadlock, which, they
believe, is working an injury to the
Republican party and the State.
Some of the best-known business men
in the city are behind the movement
and have announced their determina-
tion TO go TO Sacramento in the interest
of Mr.. Scott. Some of them went up
last evening and others expect to go
tonight. Among those who have taken
up the cause of Mr.. Scott are members
of some of the representative CONNER
cial and industrial bodies of San Fran
cisco, but they are acting as individuals
and in no way as the representatives
of their respective organizations.
Their position was accurately defined
by F. w. Dohrmann Of the Merchants
Association who speaking for himself
only, as a promoter Of Scott's candi-
dacy said yesterday: 81 have gone
into this matter, not because of any
prejudice against any of the other can
didates, but solely with view of re-
storing harmony. Mr. Scott I believe,
is a man on whom all the Republican
legislators can unite and that is why
I am willing to do what l can to pro-
mote his candidacy. / shall go to Sac
ramento either this evening or to-mor-
row night, but 1 want it understood

and A. b. c. Dehrmann They were
warmly welcomed by Senator Davis and
Assemblyman Dunlap, who were in Mr.
Scott's room when the renforcements ar
rived. The supporters of Scott outlined a
plan of campaign tonight.
In the first place. members of the Leg
islature will be invited to meet the
builder of the Oregon. 1t was remarked
as significant that Senator Davis and AS
semblyman Dunlap, who have been vot-
ing for Scott from the outset, never saw
him until tonight. It can be left to con-
lecture as to the number of men that
VIII vote for Mr. Scott after they see him
1t was said in a general way at Scott's
headquarters tonight that business men
of San Francisco advised him to plunge
into the thickest of the struggle, saw
ing, Go to Sacramento and get acquaint-
ed with the members of the Legislature.
The deadlock can be broken if an accept
able candidate shall be presented. We
will send leading men of the city to sup
port you, and business men of Stockton.
SACRAMENTO and other cities of the State
will join in urging the Legislature to ac-
cept you as the man for the United States
Senate"
When the question was asked if Mr..
Scott would stay for the finish Senator
Davis and ex-Mayor Ellert remarked that
The San Francisco call., 1899-01-25

During the course Of the Investigation i
was brought out that Speaker Wright
had asked the question if the person to
whom ne was talking had ), heard OF the the
from Grant. Both Mr.. Cutter and Mr.
Raw asked and were granted permission
to be sworn that they might give to their
denials the full weight of legal evidence:
:. The story of the two tickets. that VIII
liam F. Herrin gave to Assemblyman A.
III. Merrill at the request of d. NJ. Burns
was retold to-day, this time by Mr.. Mer-
rill himself During, the course Of his
distinctly understood that he could not
be bought for the price of two railroad
tickets, and that any one who thought he
could had better get position IN the
San Francisco newspapers with the ball
ance of the fools. AS Mr.. Merrill failed
to state what price he could be bought
satisfied to submit their case without
putting in defense.
The witness related in detail how a
friend of his wanted to go to New York
money to buy one ticket. Merrill volun-
teered to assist him, and to this end went
to Herrin and asked if he could get two
tickets for the price, of one. Herrin re-
went to Burns and that gentleman sent a
note to Herrin, which had the effect Of
causing Herrin to produce the two tick
cts without charge Mr.. Merrill failed to
say why he had applied to Herrin in the
first xinstance instead of to the general
ticket office of the company. His story
differed in some essential details from
that told by Herrin and Burns, but it was
accepted in good faith by the committee,
the members of which refrained from
cross-questioning the witness too closely.
AS the committee will in all probability
close its labors tomorrow, 1t may be
proper to point to the fact that it has sue
ceeded in lodging the necessity of making
any investigation of the charge that the
agents of Burns and the Southern Pacific
Company sought to bribe Assemblyman
Brooke to vote for Burns for Senator.
After the election a contest was filed
against the seat of Brooke in the As
sembly. Burns agents and the railroad
officials who interested themselves in the
transaction offered to cause the contest
to be withdrawn and to give Brooke q
position in the County Clerks office in
this county if Brooke would pledge him.
self to vote for Burns for Senator. The
Call exposed the whole scheme to de-
bauch Brooke, with the result that the
conspirators were forced to abandon their
plan. As an investigation of this infa-
nous plot would tend to throw discredit
on Burns and his Senatorial candidacy
the reason why the investigating COM
mittee has skipped it need not be pointed
out.
