WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The first
session of the Senate after the holidays
occupied only fourteen minutes, al
though in that brief time two open ses-
sions and one executive session were
held.
The galleries were filled with specta-
tors before the Senate convened, the
general expectation being that the
peace treaty would be presented. The
Senatorial members of the Peace Com
mission appeared on the floor and were
given a hearty greeting by their col
leagues.
In the absence of the Vice President
Frye of Maine, the president pro TEN,
called the Senate to order.
The chaplain in his invocation said:
1--WE come together under a sense of
bereavement by the absence of the
senior Senator of Vermont, whose wise
counsel and loving presence shall no
more enrich the proceedings in this
chamber. We bless Thee, o Lord, for
his noble life; for his example to all
men, and we pray that his spirit may
ever abide within these walls"
Scarcely had the clerk begun to read
the journal of the last session of the
Senate when Davis moved that the
further reading be dispensed with. The
motion prevailed.
Frye, who was in the chair, immedi-
ately recognized Major Pruden, as
sistant secretary of the President, who
presented a message from the President
of the United States. The message con-
tanned the treaty of Paris. On motion
of Davis the Senate then went into ex-
ecutive session in order that the treaty
might be referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
In few minutes the Senate recon-
vened in open session and Allison an
nOunced the death of Senator Morrill,
The usual resolutions were adopted and
as mark of further respect the SEN
ate adjourned until tomorrow.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Jan. 1.-The Re-
publican Senators and members VINO
signed the pledge not to take part IN
last nights Senatorial caucus organized
to-day to keep up the fight against SEN
ator Quay until after the Supreme
Court has disposed of the Peoples BANK
conspiracy case The meeting was at
tended by nearly all the signers ana
two others, who did not sign, but kept
away from the caucus.
General William H. Koenbe OF SOM
erset called the meeting to order anu
named Senator William Flynn or Aile-
gheny for chairman and Senator l.
Henry of Philadelphia and Representa-
tive Robert K. Young of Tioga for
secretaries. Senator Flynn said there
was no necessity for holding a Sena-
toriaI caucus last night and that SO
long as those who stayed away stoou
together there could be no election or a
United States Senator What he wanted
was more light on the pending charges
against Senator Quay, to ascertain
whether or not he was a proper person
to be elected to the United States
Senate.
A committee was appointed to take
charge of the work of organization.
The committee issued al dudI CPS III
which it states:
In our present attitude we are prompted
by what we believe to be the best inter
est of our party and State. We beleVe
that Republican Senator should and Will
be elected and that no combination or
circumstances can prevent 1t. We be.
lieve that the unquestoned sentiment OF
the Republicans of the commonwealth IS
against taking action that might result
in the election of a person as United
States Senator who is charged with crime
before his innocence is established in
court of justice, and that the failure TO
determine that question prior to this time
is due to the act of the alleged caucus
nominee in delaying trial and not to any
act of ours We feel that in justice to
the public and our own sense of self
respect and duty we are justified in re-
fusing to be committed to any PROPOSE
ton that might cast a stigma upon our
commonwealth and our own integrity as
citizens and legislators.
Feeling that we are sustained in our po-
stion by the unbiased sentiment of the
State, we deem it unwise to vote for any
person for United States Senator who is
duly charged with crime so long as these
charges remain undetermined. We can
not Justify ourselves for voting for any
person for office who is indicted for crimf-
nal offense and who simply alleges that
he is the victim of n political conspiracy
We believe that the public, as well as
ourselves, is not interested in the motives
of the person making these charges. but
rather in the truth or the falsity of these
charges. Entertaining these views, we
submit our action to the unprecedented
judgment of our fellow citizens.

Assistant Secretary Howell OF the

Chinese seeking readmission to HAWAII
and has submitted the questions IN

different periods before the annexation
of Hawaii to this country many Chinese
left Hawaii with the intention or re-

When they learned of the annexation

Tinted States laws over Hawaii many
of them FASTENED back to the islands.
Inspector Brown of the United States
Government denied them admission on
the ground that under the laws of the
United States they were not entitled TO
come back. The case was carried be-
fore Justice Judd of the Hawaiian Su-

Chinese ought to be admitted.
Brown has taken an appeal to the

Declares if the Scheme of the Attor-

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. As NJ. Aug
Justine, cashier of the bank of A p. Ho-
falling & Co., filed a communication to
the Board of Supervisors with County
Clerk Graham to-day, in which the
San Francisco law firm which has Sc
cured contracts to collect money al
legged to be due the county from the
State is excoriated in the bitterest
terms. Augustine declares that it is an
attempt to take money from the pockets
of taxpayers already overburdened,
characterizes the attorneys as "cormo-
rants, vampires" and "bloodsuckers,"
and petitions the board not to become
party to what he regards as so mere
tricious scheme.
After stating that the law firm has
secured contracts by which it will make
100000 in fees, provided all the suits
against the State are won, and that if
this county should win it's suit it would
lose $4,000 out of the $4,000 claimed on
the basis of a 40 per cent fee, Augustine
declares himself in the following force
full language:
Concerning the moral aspect of the case
can hardly trust myself to speak, nor
can 1 characterize such practice as it de-
serves. The distinguished attorneys who
conceived this scheme of enriching them
selves at the expense of the toiing masses
Of California, who are already in bad
enough straits as result of an unu-
suaily dry year, may anticipate an easy
victory, but in my opinion they underrate
the intelligence of the people of the State
who, If | mistake not, will be heard from
in no uncertain tones when they once I'M
derstand this proposed raid upon their
property through the technicalities of le-
gal practice.
You were assured that the money to ray
this judgment is already in the State
treasury, appropriated for this purpose
Had this been true, it would have been
to the interests of this county to com
mence suit to recover it; but it is not true
This money is in the pockets of the
taxpayers of the county and State, and
If paid al all we must pay it to ourselves,
vampires these bloodsuckers, literally for
the privilege of doing so.
An attorney in private practice would
be , disb9rred for or, betraying the interests
permitted to do II on a gigantic scale
without a protest? The contract was
obtained from you fraudulently and can
be set aside on that ground. and we look
to you, gentlemen, with absolute conf
dence in your integrity and good inten-
| ton, to protect your constituents against
this iniquitouS attempt upon their rights
and thereby to aid in setting the cal of
| infamy upon the men whose minds were
cunning enough to conceive this nefariouS
scheme, and whose hearts were base
enough to execute ii.
To-morrow's session of the board will
| be devoted to a consideration of the
proposition of resembling the contract
with the law firm in question. District
Attorney MCIsaac will be asked at that
time to present an opinion in the
matter.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. Al. J.
Bray, one of the best known fruit mer-
chants in this city. was charged in the
Police Court this afternoon with having
fraudently obtained a large consignment
of oranges from p. NJ. Morbis & Co. of
427 Front street San Francisco. The evil
dence went to show that Bray mad agreed
to exchange certain goods for the
oranges. He received the, latter and sold
them at a good profit The goods he was
to have sent to Morbis & Co. never
peatedly to Bray t.iey instituted a crimi-
nal action against him. This deal in it
self is not a large one, but it is said that
other fruit firms in San Francisco have
similar complaints to make against Bray
Bray's arrest to-day created great SEN
sation in commercial circles. as he was
always held to be a man of good financial
standing. He requested and was given
time to procure certain evidence from San
Francisco.
