Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, July 14-Daniel NJ.
Burns and Henry T. Gage entered Los
Angeles together this afternoon, although
the Governor of California. fearful per
haps of adverse criticism, did not accom-
pany his friend and political factotum all
the way to the Arcade depot. The Gov
ernor instead left the train at River sta
ton, after having requested a reporter for
a local paper not to publish the fact that
he had returned to the city at ALL The
Governor went to his Red Rover mine
near Acton on Wednesday and gave 1t
out at that time that he did not intend
to be back in Los Angeles before to-mor-
row.
Burns was greeted here by his stead
fast confidante of the Senatorial dead
lock at Sacramento last winter-Guy B.
Barham-no one else being at the depot
to meet him. Southern Pacific Superin-
tendent John A. Muir and the boss"
shook hands cordially as soon as the lat
ter stepped off the train.
Burns insists his visit here at this time
has no political significance. 1t Is known.
however, that the object Of the trip is to
lay out plan of campaign at Catalina
Island for the proposed extra session of
the Legislature, which is to be called
should 1t be proved beyond doubt after
thorough report from confidential
sources which have been at work on the
matter Tor weeks that the Candelarian
has sufficient votes to absolutely control
the Republican legislative caucus.
Catalina IS an ideal place for political
intriguing, being without telephones, tele-
graph wires or, railroad facilities. Burns
will leave for the island tomorrow Gov
ernor Gage will join him early next week.
The two expect to spend a fortnight at
Catalina. In an interview this afternoon
Burns said
l know nothing of an extra session of
the Legislature, nor of my alleged ap-
Rointment as United States Senator.
Those are subjects with which the Gov
ernor of California might be thoroughly
conversant. You might interview him on
these. matters"
Senator G. M. Simpson of Pasadena was
among the earliest callers on Burns. He
Is seeking to have his former law partner
appointed Superior Judge sof this County,
vice the late William Hovey Clark. Burns
promised to use his influence with Gov
ernor Gage to have Simpsons request
gratified. The promise is one of the col

HEARING OF CHATHAM
ESTATE PROCEEDINGS
Date Will Be Fixed by the San Mateo
County Superior Court on
ATCI1Gf

REDWOOD CITY, July 14.-The attor-
neys for Robert S. and Maria E. Chatham
entered a vigorous protest yesterday to
the court setting the time for hearing
on the petition for distribution of Mi
randa E. Mills, the Administrative of the
estate of Robert Mills, deceased. On July
7 the Administrative filed her final ac-
count and petition for distribution, pray
ing in the. latter for the distribution of
the estate to the rightful heirs. The
ground of objection argued yesterday to
the setting of the petition for hearing
was that there were already pending pro-
ceedings TO determine heirship, instituted
by the Chathams, and that the court had
no Jurisdiction over a petition for distri-
button until these had been determined.
The court thought the administratrix
had right TO have a time set, but init
mated that this would not prSe;cIgdes S;a ait II
should it desire to do so. The objections
were then Withdrawn and both matters matt
On that day. it is probable day will
be fixed upon which either one or the the
other of the proceedings will be finally
determined.

Present Condition.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

~ ALL HEADQUARTERS, WELL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHING
TON, July Al am told that Sec
retarv AIger has asked the Presi-
dent to make some public state
1nent with view to setting at rest the
reDorts that his resignation is desired.
Mr.. AIger told a friend to-day that the
President seemed to deprecate the at
tacks upon him, but declined to make
any public statement on the ground
that it would not be dignitied for the
President to give newspapers inter-
views. Mr.. Alger expressed his disap-
pointment over the Presidents failure
to publicly defend him, but his refusal
to do so does not seem to have changed
the Secretary's determination to either
force a direct request for his resigna-
tion or to remain in the Cabinet until
the end of the present year, when he
has indicated that he would volun-
tarily resign.
Senators and members of Congress,
who have been in the city during the
last few days, are almost unanimous in
their condemnation of the existing
state of affairs in connection with the
War Department. Naturally, they do
not care to speak publicly in condem-
nation of the President or the Secre-
tary Of War, for they are here looking
for favors, but privately they severely
criticise the Secretary for refusing TO
go when he knews that he is not want
ed. either by the President or the
country; and they criticise the Presi-
dent because he is not firm enough to
come out sQuarely and dismiss the man
they regard as responsible for many OF
the bIunders of the war, and utterly
incapable of meeting present emergen-
cies.
These public men are also convinced
of the urgent necessity for putting a
man at the head of the War Depart
1nent like Governor Roosevelt, who
would have the force and ability to pull
that department out Of the rut it is in
and to get the army in shape for a Wig
orous campaign to end the Philippine
war Governor Roosevelt is the one
man above all others, in the opinion of
a large majority Of public men with
whom I have talked, to meet the extra
ordinary condition which confronts the
country.
