SENATOR BULLA'S FRIENDS
ARE MUCH ENCOURAGED

p CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
AIENTQ. Jan. 4-The friends Of Senator
Bulla felt very much encouraged yester-
day over. the general outlook and the
prospects for their candidate Early in
the day the Bulla quarters were visited
by z representative Of Colonel Burns and
his politicians, touts and gamblers, and
assured him that, despite anything that
might appear in the newspapers, there
was no desire on their part to discredit
the Senatorial canvass of Senator Bulla.
A short time thereafter representa-
tive from the Grant headquarters came
on similar mission and even went fur
Their in his effort 10 assure the Bulla men
that Mr.. Grants friends were not re-
sponsib!e for the attempt made in certain
quarters to show that Bulla was in the
senatorial race as stalking horse for
Burns
This condescension shown to Bula and
mis- friends by both Burns and Grant was
unlocked for and created considerable
surprise. 1t shows that while neither
Grant nor Burns may look upon Bulla
as a winner in the race, at the same time
neither of them has any desire to IN
necessarily antaSoniZe either Senator
Bulla himself or his following.
This afternoon after both houses had
adjourned the supporters of Bulla from
Los Angeles County held caucus in one
OF the smaller rooms at the State House
Every member OF the delegation was
absent for the reason that he is quite
III. The Senator was unable 10 be pres
6nt at the inaugural ceremonies.
An informal discussion Of Senator Bull
Ia 5 prospects was INDUCED in and the
Unanimous feeling of all seven OF the
members was that at no stage since the
contest opened was the outlook brighter
for the Los Angeles County man.
Tie different members reported on each
individual member Of the Legislature
whom they had canvassed, and after the
poll was completed and the figures
summed up 1t was found that if verbal
assurances and statements amounted to
anything Senator BulIa would have on
the first ballot sixteen votes and on the
second twenty-three. 1t was decided in
the future that the delegation would
meet twice every day once in the morn
ing and once in the. afternoon, until the
close Of the contest. The object OF this
Is 70 confer with each other as to posi-
BILE aCCeSsiOns that can or might be made
10 the Bulla forces and as to the most
wise and polite methods TO adopt to
bring them about.
Before adjournment ii was unanimously
agreed 10 remain firm and true to Bulla
10 the end and to consider or discuss no
Compromise or other candidate
The number of callers at Bullas head
quarters to-day was larger than at any
time since they have been opened. Every
body wanted to see the Senator and talk
with him. Among others number of
the Democratic members of the Assembly
called. Most of them had never met the
candidate and they called for the pur-
pose Of getting acquainted with him.

AGREED TO BE GOOD.
Rare Document Is Produced in the
Lee Divorce Case.

Rebecca Lee, who lives at 1016 Market
street. as plaintiff in an action for divorce
recently instituted against her husband,
J. ". Lee, had her innings before Judge
Hunt yesterday. Mrs. Lee alleges that
for some time past her husband has been
in the habit Of treating her in an inhu-
man manner, and for these reasons she
asks that the marital knot be severed
and that she be given all the community
property in which her husband is inter-
ested, together with suitable alimony.
Lee denied her allegations OF cruelty and
simply states that at the time he was
forced to slap his wife because she would
remain away from home all day and on
her return refuse TO tell him where she
had been.
tify in her own behalf, and she set forth
many specific acts of cruelty of which
she was the victim. In support of her
contention that she had been abused she
produced a document showing that at
one time her husband had seen himself
as others saw him, repented in conse-
quence and bound himself TO be good In
an odd document, of which the following
is a copy:
) W Lee party of the first part, and Re
becca Lee, party Of the second part, husoahd
I, John W. Lee, do solemnly promise to keep
sacred and inviolate the following articles
F'irst-To love, cherish, protect and provide

Second-Never by word. deed or act on my
part 10 insult or abuse her.
Third--To provide for her good, comfort
able home, support and shelter her TO the best
OF my ability.
Fourth-To share equally all my income with
her.
Fifth-That we shall always live together as
husband and wife by ourselves, my two daugh-
ters known as Nellie Lee and Clara Lee, 10
i've separately and apart from US, and that
they shall in no way interfere between US IN
the future.
Sixth-To all Of which articles above men

After Mrs. Lee had left the stand ]. P.
McKenna was called and testified that on
at least one occasion he had held Lee in his
brawny arms to prevent him from beat
Ing his wife. He recited other incidents
of cructy on the part Of Lee and then re-
tired. To-day Lee will have a chance tc
disprove the allegations of his wife, If
he can, and for that purpose has sum

tug came alongside, the Spartan's anchor
was tripped and another start made for
San Francisco.
When the tug and her tow were we'll
out into the Straits of Fuca the fatality
occurred. Second Mate John Wielan and
some of the crew were on the forecastle
head making fast the port anchor. By
some mischance Wielan lost his footing
and fell overheard. 1t was a beautiful
moonlight night at the time and the sea
was as smooth as glass. The men could
see the mate drifting astern and the cry
of man overheard" was raised. The tug
was taking the Spartan through the wa
ter at the rate of eight knots an hour
and the sailors tried in vain TO throw the
towing line off. They could do nothing
with the steel haWser. however. Then
they got axes and tried to cut the rope,
but failed again. Lights were flashed at
the tug, horns footed, danger signals CIV
en-, but the captain Of the steamer neither
heard nor saw any of them, or II he did
paid no attention, and so the man strug-
CLING in the water was left to his fate.
The Spartan was lowed TO sea and cast
off. The tug returned to Port Townsend
with those aboard still in ignorance Of
what had happened Wielan was well
known on the coast. as he had been in
the Puget Sound trade for years
The ship Wachusett arrived from the
Sound yesterday after q long and tenn
pestuous voyage. To add to the horrors
of the trip she sprang leak, and for ten
days the men were at the pumps more
or less all the time. 1t was on Christmas
eve. when the ship was sixteen miles
southwest of Flattery, that the first gale
came up It blew with hurricane force
from the southeast, and on Christ
mas day the Wachusett sprang a
leak and soon the water was making

Christmas fare, the crew battled with
the storm and labored at the pumps. The
next day the gale died down a little, but
1t soon sprang up again, and for ten days
it was continual fight for life. The ship

Vessels arriving one after the other
with tales of storm and disaster nave
raised fears for the safety of the steam
schooners Ruth, Coquille River, Grace
Dollar and Fulton. They are all long
overdue but probably were driven north
by the southeaster. The Ruth and Bonita
left Coos Bay in company and the Bonita
got in last Tuesday after a seventy-slX-
hour tussle with the storm. The Ruth
had the schooner Luella IN tow, ana the
chances are that both Of them are move

Fulton left here for Coos Bay on Decem-

Grace Dollar may have been hove to all
through the storm the chances are that
the Fulton has been driven past her des-
tination and will have to fight her way
back.
Little Royal Mateo Beeman, the boy
whose mother braved the terrors Of
norther in order to bring him from the
Farallones to a doctor, died last Tuesday.
1t will be remembered that the boat in
which the mother and her companions at

swamped and all of them would have
been drowned had not the pilot boat

tain Jordan not only picked them up but
brought the party to the city. The best
medical care could do little Royal no
good, so he passed away in his mothers
arms
Vessels for the spring rush to the Klon-

and freights are likely to advance in con-
sequence. Parties are now negotiating
