THE COYOTES BARK
Is HEARD AGAIN

CALL HEADQUARTERS sACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 16.-The bark of the
coyote is again heard in the land. The
old measure to appropriate money to pay
bounty on coyote scalps is now before the
Legislature. The talk goes that the bill
will be handled with the utmost discretion.
Senator Laird to-day introduced in the
Senate a bill to appropriate $2S7 900 to pay
the bounties. The measure provides that
payments shall be made from the treas
ury during the f1fty-firs1 and fifty-second
fiscal years, so that the entire burden of
payments will not fall in one year.
1t is provided that examination of the
claims shall be made by the State Board
of Examiners, and only such claims shall
be paid as secure the sanction of the
board.
These coyote claims, which were origi-
nally held by numerous parties, are now
in the possession of few banks. One
bank in Sacramento is said to be a large
holder, and another bank at Bakersfield
Is reported to be the holder of long list
of assigned certificates.

Senator Sig NJ. Bettman sat in a chair
with Colonel d. NJ Burns on one side and
A. Knight and General w. H. L. Barnes
were both there, pleasant and happy.
Senator Bulla came in and joined in the
spirit of the occasion.

Then there was Assemblyman Clough and
Arnerich. Hervey Lindley, John c. Lynch.
T. H. Williams and r. B. Carpenter of
the Burns camp; Captain J. H. Barbour
of the Grant support.
The first proposition that was suggeste ed
was that inasmuch as most of the Sena-
torial candidates were there present it
would be an excellent idea to at once
proceed with the contest and avoid all
future worry or expense Then the ques,,
ton arose as to the best means and
method of determining upon whose
shoulders the toga should fall.
Hervey Lindley, ever fruitful in schemes
and never a. a loss as to how to surmount
a difficulty, drew forth a diceboX and sug-
gested that the several candidates shake
1.-The bones, razzle-dazzle,' the high man
to receive the votes tomorrow of all par
ticipating
But the suggestion did not meet with
popular approval and was not adopted.
In order to clear up the entire situation
General Barnes suggested that all the
candidates retire from the race and in so
far as they could throw their votes to
him. This, the general thought, was the
key to the Senatorial deadlock and all
that 1t was necessary to do was for this
key to be turned and in his opinion a
satisfactory result would be reached.
But Colonel Burns and Mr.. Grant could
not see it that way. Senator Bulla looked
dubious when the suggestion was made
and George knight vigorously dissented
from it.
a good idea if all the Senatorial candi-
dates would go home and leave the
Legislature free to settle the Senatorial
matter without their presence. Colonel
Burns promptly agreed with Mr. Grant
and said that nothing would please him
better.
Senator Bulla stated that he regretted
to oppose the proposition, but he could
not go home. He was a member of the
State Senate and would have TO remain.
If the other candidates were to volunta-
rily retire to their homes he would have
an advantage that was hardly fair
And so it was that this idea of the
candidates going into voluntary retire
ment had to be dropped
At this juncture the uncertainty of the
electric lights of Sacramento was made
manifest, for they dipped for a moment
leaving the distinguished assemblage in
darkness.
Senator Bettman, though, was equal to
many leading lights and Israelites here
just now that they think we need no cleo
trio lights"
When the electricity again shone out
John Resented had received no vote to-
day owing to the absence of Senator Fee
ney. Bettman said he thought that Ro-
senfeld was perhaps glad of it. as he had
received a report from San Francisco to
the effect that Mr.. Rosenfeld's Senatorial
honors had been quite expensive. Every
body who had met Candidate Rosenfeid

have used the island for years as a place
of exile for natives of the island afflicted
with the dread disease, and Mr.. Sullivan
sees no reason why this State should not
at the same time rid itself of its loath-
some burden and a large expense by
sharing quarters with the kanakas.
He proposes to bring it all about with
Assembly joint resolution No. 8, which he
introduced in the Assembly to-day, and
which reads as follows:
Whereas, There has lately been annexed to
these United State large island known as
Molokai, one of the Hawaiian Islands; and
whereas, there are in this State many unfor-
tunates cursed with the dreadful disease of
leprosy; and whereas, 1t is absolutely necessary
that those afflicted should be isolated in
order that the health of the masses be not
contaminated; and whereas, the expense to our
State and to the municipalities therein in
maintenancy of separate hospitals and pest
houses therein is very great and entirely I'M
satisfactory and whereas upon the said island
of Molokai there is a leper hospital devoted en-
ttrely to the care and cure of leperS, and which
island on account of its locality and condi-
lions is peculiarly adapted for such purposes;
therefore be 1t
Resolved, BY the Assembly and Senate jointly
that we hereby recognize the great necessity
of having all those afflicted with leprosy con-
fined within and upon the said island of Molo-
kai, both because of its isolated condition and
equable climate, and also because it Will be a
great financial saving to our State and to the
municipalities therein, and be it
Resolved. That we call upon our representa-
tives in Congress to use every honorable effort
to have every leper found within this State or
hereafter to be found herein sent to the said
island of Mookai for care and treatment; and
be 1t further
Resolved, That the Governor be requested to
transmit these resolutions to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
Mr.. Sullivan's resolution was referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations
Assemblyman Mellick complied with q
request from the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce and the other general COM
mercial interests in the southern city by
introducing another joint resolution call
ing upon our representatives at Washing
ton to further all legislation favorable to
the building of the Nicaragua canal. It's
text was as fallows:
Whereas, the construction Of the Nicaragua
canal would be of immense value to the people
of the Pacific Coast. and especially to the
people OF the State of California as It would
afford great protection to this coast in time
of war, open lines of trade and COM

THE SIXTEENTH BALLOT
TAKEN WITHOUT CHANGE

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan 16-For all to-day's ballot
ing California knows as much about her
next Senator as she did on Saturday. The
sixteenth joint ballot has not changed the
situation by so much as vote and every
condition indicates a deadlock of indefinite
duration.
Interest, however, abates not one jot.
Despite that it is being drawn out to in
terminable length, with no cessation of
the strain in sight. the battle is just as
fierce and just as filthy as 1t has been at
any time since its inception.
The swift retribution that has followed
Howard Wrights willful crookedness has
made the game wary in front of the
lars or gold bricks from the carpetbag Of
the San Diegan have awaited aught 1t Is
not apparent in the voting.
The first two ballots to-day showed an
apparent loss of two votes from both
BURNS and Grant. Barnes and Bulla re-
burns "a. This fail in the figures was
caused by the absence of Assemblyman
Raw Of Ell Dorado and Assemblyman
Chvnoweth of Orange, both of them
Grant men. Raw paired with Richard of
San Francisco and Chynoweth with Mil
Ter OF San Francisco, both of whom have
been voting for Burns, and were of course
deprived of their votes to-day by the en-
forced absence of their pairs.
Toward the end OF the third ballot
Chynoweth came in and registered his
vote for Grant. permitting Miller to re-
sumo operations In behalf of the Mexican.
The totals jumped up to q and . re-
spectively, and there remained when the
session ended.
The Democratic minority, has settled
upon Stephen M. White as the continuous
recipient of its honorary vote from the
present time to the end of the fight. Abb
bott Kinney of Los Angeles was the
minority candidate on the s,, first ballot Of
strength. He was followed by Stephen
NJ. White, who got them all but one. that
of Brooke Of Sacramento, who voted per-
sstently for Marion de Vries.
A motion to adjourn was made after the
first ballot by Mcdonald of Alameda, but
the Burns gang fought 1T to finish and
won second roIlcall. There was an
other fight against a similar motion fol-
lowing the fourth, but the ayes won out
and adjournment was taken until noon
Tomorrow
The balloting resulted as follows:
For Barnes-Senators Dickinson, Luch-
singer, Morehouse, Stratton; Assembly
men Atherton, Clough. knights, Knowl-
ton, Lardner, Muenter-10.
For Bulla-Senators Currier, Simpson,

be to formulate a set of regular rules that
snail govern all of the States charitable
institutions, collect information necessary
to their operation and exercise a general
supervision calculated to effect uniform
and successful operation.
The bill was drafted by the professors
in economics at Stanford University after
careful study of the conditions now oper-
ating in CALIFORNIA; institutions, and it is
being fostered and backed by those of
San Francisco's citizens who have identi-
fed themselves largely with practical
charities.
Assemblyman Dibble to-day addressed a
letter to Hon. Charles A Murdoch at
San Francisco, expressing his willingness
to present the bill in the Assembly, and
he expects that he will have it in hand by
the early part of the coming week.

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES
HOLD A LOVE FEAST

CALL HEADQUARTERS, sACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 16.-With all the bitterness
that has been exhibited since the Sena-
torial fight commenced here in Sacra-
mento, there occurred this evening one of
the most pleasant incidents which can
possibly characterize any political con-
test. 1t was in the nature of love feast.
For an hour the leading Senatorial candi-
dates in the parlor of the Golden Eagle
Hotel sat around in a friendly circle, and
there was q feast of reason and a flow
of soul that lasted from o'clock until
the dinner hour The candidates INDUCED

less than $500 was recommended for pas
sage. Chairman Johnson's bin authoriz-
ing the Controller to transfer on his
books $40 900 from the general fund to the
State schoolbook fund was also favorably
passed on.
The committee will on Tuesday next,
give hearing to those who are in favor
of the constitutional amendment exempt
ing churches from taxation. On the fol-
lowing day the committee will take up the
constitutional amendment regarding an
appellate court, and also the bill con-
tinuing the Supreme Court commission
for two years longer. Other bills were
brought up for discussion, but at the re-
quest of their authors they were post
DOned.

At this juncture General Barnes retired
from the circle, but he first invited all of
the candidates to accept the hospitality
