however, specify that the new serum

THE LAST BALLOT A TIE
After That an Agreement Was Made
That No Further Vote Should Be
Taken for United States
Senator.

Sacramento, March 1s.-The 1o4th bal
lot for United States senator has been
taken without choice. and the joint con-
vention adjourned after being in session
six consecutive hours, during which
time 10 ballots were taken. The pro-
ceedings were marked with much con-
fusion, the lobby invading the floor of
the assembly chamber. The sergeant
alarms was apparently unable to con-
troll the crowd. Three ballots We're
taken without result. Dibble a Burns
republican, then introduced a resolution
resolution was voted down by vote of
IS to 81. AT the end of the fourth bal
lot Dibble once more introduced his res
olution. Cutter, Grant republican, in
PRODUCED a substitute providing that
the joint convention take 10 more bal
lots and if there were no senator elected
when the 10th had been taken to ad-
journ sine die. A heated discussion en-
sued, which was concluded by Cutter
and Dibble withdrawing their resolu-
itions.
At the end of the seventh ballot STRAIT
ton, Barnes republican, moved that a
recess be taken until 7:30 o'clock this
evening Cutter offered a substitute
providing that when II more ballots had
been taken adjournment be taken sine
die. Cutters resolution was adopted by
a close vote.
The balloting continued for Il bal
lots with few changes. Grant lost a
vote and gained one, while Burns gain
ed three votes. This tied the two lead
ers, for the first time since the begin
ming of the session, Grant having been
from two to three votes in the lead all
the time. The 18th ballot under Cut
ter's resolution, the 18th of the day,
the 104th of the session, gave the fol-
lowing result: Total number of votes
cast, 120 necessary for choice, 81:
Barnes, rep. IS; Estee, rep, /; Burns,
rep. 30; Grant. rep, 30: Scott, rep.
4; Patterson rep, 4; Devries, dem, ];
Phelan, dem. 6: White, DEM, "a; Ro-
senfeldt, dem, 2.
When the result had been announced
a motion was made to reconsider the
vote by which the Cutter resolution
had been adopted. Dibble raised the
point that the joint assembly met ~
der the provisions of the United states
statutes and adjournment sine die
could not be taken by resolution. nor
while the legislature was in session.
Speaker Pro Tenn Flint, VINO was pre-
siding, ruled that We're the Legislature
in session on Monday ballot must
be taken. The motion to reconsider
was put to a vote and lost, 81 to s.
The journal for the day was then read
and Speaker Flint declared the joint
assembly adjourned.
A scene of wild confusion followed.
The democrats who had combined with
the Grant republicans to bring about
the result, raised yell of triumph,
which was not Joined in by the republi-

cans. The legislature by concurrent
resolution already adopted, adjourns at
midnight. Unless the resolution be set
aside, not other ballot for senator can
be taken, as the same vote which sup
ported the Cutter resolution would be
cast against an attempt to reconsider
the resolution.
1t was after O'Clock before the MEM
berS left the assembly chamber. During
the recess several of the republican
leaders attempted to get the republic
can members together to agree to have
the concurrent resolution, calling for
adjournment at midnight set aside.
Nothing came of it, however. Before
were in their seats once more.
Dibble, a Burns adherent. offered a
concurrent resolution extending the
time of adjournment until | O'Clock Sun
day morning. which was supported by
one of Grants lieutenants, Assembly,
man Works of San Diego. With the I'M
derstanding that the question of the
senatorship was not to be taken up, but
that the time should be devoted to the
passage of bills. the resolution was
adopted by vote of Al to 20.
After a prolonged debate the senate
adopted the resolution providing for
legislative adjournment sine die at IL
O'Clock Sunday morning, with the I'M
derstandng that no further session of
the joint assembly be held and that
there be no further balloting for United

American Girl Leases a House.

From the Chicago Cnronicle.
An energetic American woman, by
name Miss Ellen Burdlett, has just
leased the large Pompeian house in
Paris. which was built about 40 years
ago by Prince Jerome Napoleon, more
Familiarity known as ''Plon-Plon." Miss
Burdiett intends to use the expansive
dwelling as an American tea and re-
freshment room during 'the exposition of
1900 and expects to realize sufficient
money during the six months of the
fair to buy the house at its conclusion
and live in it lever afterward," as the
fairy books record happy ending. The
Pompeian house is in itself great curl
osity and stands just as it did when
"Plon-Plon' gave his attractive Italian
fetes in the large atrium furnished with
a tribune supported by eight columns
at the foot of which stand the wonder
full Pompeian vases, which gave the
house its name, filed with luxurious
tropical foliage. Miss Burdlett will
dress her maids in the costume of the
Pompeian period and doubtless her tea
room will furnish rest and entertain
ment for many weary, travel-tired

UNFIT FOR USE.
One Officer Believed Chemicals Had Been
Used in Preserving Beef.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 1S.-The
beef court of inquiry arrived at Fort
Leavenworth from Kansas City at $50
O'Clock this afternoon and resumed its
sitting at the court martiale room at
the fort at 80 O'clock Several off,
GERS of the 9Th cavalry, which returned
recently from Cuba, after having gone
through the entire campaign there were
examined as to the condition and quail
ity of meat served to men and the eff
feet it had upon their health In a
general way the witnesses state the
meat furnished from Tampa to Cuba
was good, but became tiresome to the
men. Much of the canned beef served
in Cuba up to the time of the surrender
of Santiago was UNIT for use. as was
about one-third of the refrigerated
beef later served at Camp Hamilton.
The complaints among the men We're
general and much sickness resulted.
No specific reports of the poor quality
of beef were made to high officers at
the time.
Capt. J. S. Galbraith Of the 1st Unit
ed States cavalry, located at Fort Rob
inson, Neb., believed the canned meat
had been preserved by means Of chem
icals, but could not say just what drugs
might have been so used. A long string
of witnesses We're on hand and the
probability is it will take part of Sun
uaS 10 Iully examine them.
Captain Jacob S. Galbraith of the LIST
cavalry was the first witness. He said
the health of the men was good TIL af-
ter the San Juan battle, July 10, after
which time decline was noticeable,
which was attributed to the poor quail
lty of the beef. The refrigerator beef
was received July "A and was issued
up to the time of departure from the
island. About one-third Of the refriger-
ated beef was spoiled. Some of the bad
canned beef had an odor of drugs-more
resembling that of chIoroform than
anything else.
Questioned by Major Lee, Captain
GalbraHh said the men generally left
the meat ration alone on the return
voyage to Montauk. The canned roast
beef would not keep from meal to meal,
after being opened He considered it
practical to have herded live cattle in
Cuba. He reported the complaints of
the beef at different times No rec
ord of these reports was kept by him,
however. In his opinion, canned meat is

vile for the first time since the presi-
dents visit was rife with political
gossip to-day Jekyl island, specula-
ton ran, was to be the scene of an i'm
portant political gathering, where the
future course OF the republican party
would be gone over and settled far
from the public and the press and
shielded from intrusion by strict in
forcement of no-trespassing regulations
of the rich club which controls its
destinies. The sudden appearance of
Speaker Reed at Jekyll island, the an
nouncement that President Mckinley.
Vice President Hobart. and Senator
Hanna would make their trip there on
Monday, and the visit of ex-Secretary
of State Day to Thomasville, although
merely condolences, according to those
of the gentlemen named, recalled the
important conferences in Thomasville
four years ago. Speaker Reeds pres
ence at Jekyll, both Messrs. Hanna and
Hobart said, they did not know until
they read it in the papers.
AS regards Judge Day, he is not 60
ing to Jekyll and probably will be out
of the city on the way home by the time
the president returns. There is, never
theless, possibility the Jekyll island
trip though not so intended, may have
an important political bearing. 1t may
prove to be the reconciliation of McKin-
ley and Reed. That their relations are
strained and that the development of
party policy in legislation is hindered
thereby, is a matter of common report.
John G. Moore, whose guest Reed Is.
and Cornelius N. Bliss, who asked
President Mckinley and party to visit
him, are common friends of all parties
personally and politically and through
them harmonious fellowship may again
prevail between the foremost republic
cans. If the Jekyl1 island trip has any
political outcome it will be this Should
this contamination come, it is quite
likely neither would have been privy to
its preparation, for knowledge by them
of such an Interior hope by their friends
would have prevented its consumma-
tion. This view is entirely in line with
the statements of the principal persons
who will be there for they declare abb
solutely that politics cuts no figure in
the trip.
Judge Day arrived here this after
noon. He said:
You will be safe in saying positively
neither politics nor international affairs
are in any way connected with our
visit We are only here to pay our
respects to the president and enjoy
ourselves"
Senator Hanna, when told of the re-
ports that there was to be a big po-
litical pow-wow at Jekyll island. with
Reed and others, said: at is silly
talking about political conferences on
this trip. It is for rest and nothing
else. l wish they would let up talking
about politics being in it. The vice
president had the grip and is rundown
and l mean to keep him here as long as
I can. Mr.. McKinley's nerves were
worn out with the strain. He needed
to be braced up. The trip to Jekyll ISL
and has nothing to do with politics."
