MISSISSIPPI SENATORIAL RACE
WILLIAMS WITHDRAWAL WILL.
LIKELY AID M'LAuRIN.
Deadlock ana the First Ballot
VIII Decide.
lsnecial To The Post. 5


Jackson, Miss, July 9.-After an inter-
val of about month the Senatorial fight
in Mississippi has resumed its old aspect,
and II will now be a straight race between
McLaurin and Allen to the end. The with
drawal of John Sharp Williams from the
contest, removes all possibility OF dead
lock. and the first ballot that will be taken
by the Joint Legislative caucus will de-
eide the question of who will represent
Mississippi for the long term. Opinions
differ as TO the effect Williams withdraw
al will have upon the situation. Tho be-
lief is very generally entertained however
that the cause of Governor McLaurin has
been strengthened by the action OF MIR.
Williams. The latter would have I'M
doubtedly carried Lauderdale county, and
he also would have carried the whole of
the Fifth congressional district. Now
that he Is out of the race the most OF
his strength will go to the governor, and
while Mr.. Allen has some warm friends
in this county who are strong in the
determination TO carry Lauderdale county
for him, and stronger in their belief that
they will 10 so. 1t is the consensus of
opinion that the governor will win out"
In the primary to be held on the 1lth,
when the people will be given an OPP
portunity of expressing by direct vote
their choice for the senate. The sena-
torial race Is exciting a great deal OF
interest in this section, and the progress
of the fight for the toga will be watched
closely from now on.

ALTGELD'S PLAN.
Trying to Force Harrison to Show
His Hand.

Especial TO The Post.)
Chicago, July 9.-EX- Governor Altgeld,
who for many months has sought to com
pei Mayor Harrison to commit himself in
exact terms on the silver question, has ar
ranged for mass meeting to be held July
20, under the direction of the American
Bimetallic union and blmetallic clubs Of
the Ohio valley, and has asked that Mayor
Harrison be scheduled for five-minute
speech
He hopes, he says that the Chicago eX
ecutive will at this meeting commit him
self one way or the other. The Audi
forum has been engaged by the ex-goSer-
nor's friends, and prominent silver men
representing all parts OF the country will
be invited to deliver fve-minute speeches
Among the speakers announced are
Judge james P, Tarvin of Covington, KY;
John j. Lentz of Ohio, NJ. c. WetmDre Of
ST. Louis, John r. Mclean of Cincinnati,
George Fred Williams Of Massachusetts.
General Z. B. Finley Of Ohio, ex-Gover-
nor Altgeld and Colonel william Jennings
Bryan.
1t is believed by what are known as
the Harrison Gahan democrats, repre-
senting the party triumphant in this State.
that II is Altgeld's scheme 10 force Mayor
/ Harrison to show his hand, and thereby
to commit himself in monosylables TO the
necessity of the democratic party making
the free and unlimited coinage OF silver
at the ratio OF 16 to / the chief Issue in
the next national campaign.
Asked II he would accept the invitation
to address the Auditorium meeting, Mayor
Harrison said:
II have not received an invitation as
yet, and will cross no bridges until
reach them"
The Auditorium meeting, and. in fact,
the arrangements for all the preliminary
bimetallic meetings which have been
planned, are being managed by the mem
bers Of Ex-Governor Altged's campaign
committee of last spring.

Q-Street Planning Mill Burned and
Two Dwellings Damaged.

There We're two fires in the early
morning yesterday. The first occurred
about half-past 3 o'clock and partially
burned a small cottage in the alley
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth,
O and P streets, occupied by G. G.
Fisher, a railroad employe. The first
alarm was turned in by Special Officer
Carroll at Twelfth and o streets.
Mr. Fisher was alone in the house.

out of the city. The fire had gained
good Roadway before he awoke, and
he was able to escape only by means
of a ladder which was raised to a Win
dow.
Engine No. IS crew were early on
the ground and did excellent execution,
as also did the chemical engine. The
barn of NJ. A. Burke, adjoining Fisher
house, was badly damaged, as also
was the residence on the corner OF the
alley Probably $1,000 will cover the
total loss
The other fire occurred about
O'Clock, and resulted in a much heavier
loss. 1t destroyed the large Sacra-
mento Planning Mill on Q street, from
Front to Second The fire is thought
to have started in the engine-room just
before the engineer was due to start

was a terribly hot fire, owing to the
quantity of pitch pine lumber in the
mill and the coating of pine dust tha1

to work at the hydrant just across the
street, and the heat was so great that
boards had to be placed against the
engine to protect the paint. Engineer

mer Decree.

Over year ago Superior Judge
Johnson, in the case of the California
State Agricultural Society against S.
B. Smith and others, issued decree
ordering the sale of certain real estate
and improvements at Agricultural
Park in this city.
On April 10th last E. A. Burr made
application for an order recalling the
order of sale, and for modification OF
the decree and order of sale to the end
that the property should not be sold
unless the proceeds of such sale should
be invested in suitable grounds and for
the erection of appropriate buildings
in this city or county for the use OF
the State Agricultural Society, for the
reason that all or a portion of the real
estate and Improvements held by the
society had been acquired in trust for
use of the society.
Judge Johnson yesterday issued the
modifying decree as prayed for in the
application.

combination Of fine fielders and hard
hitters, and is especially strong in it's
battery, Bevel and Hanson. The Colusa
boys have won thirteen out of their last
fifteen games, and have defeated the
Phoenix and Mason Laundry clubs Of
this city.
They are eager to defeat the Athletics
to-day, for then they have defeated all
of Sacramentos crack amateur teams
The Athletics are not saying much, but
one of them remarked yesterday: 1--WE
will either have pocketful of money
OF walk home tomorrow
The Athletics have defeated the Grid
leyites twice, and Gridley has put it
on" Colusa twice, so the Athletics are
figuring on winning out. Frank New
bert and Mott will be in the points for
the Athletics.
George Baldy) Treichler and Sid
Root are recent acquisitions to the
Athletic Club. The manager states
that his team has been SO uniformly
successful this season that he is ex-
periencing great difficulty in getting
out town games
1.-The Athletics of this city will play
any amateur baseball club in Northern
California for fun, money or marbles,
at any time says Captain Newbert.
Through a misapprehension it was
published during the week that the Co
lusa boys walloped the Athletics on
their last trip up the river AS mat
ter of fact, the Athletics have never
played in Colusa, to-day's game being
their first appearance in that town.
Frank Newbert, pitcher for the Ath-
letics, has record to be proud of this
season. He has won all the games in
which he pitched, seven in all, and no
club has made over seven hits off his
delivery. George Newbert has a bat
ting record of over 900 for fourteen
games.
The same old story comes from Co
lusa that the game was won, put the
crowd were too much for us, and they
won out in the last inning. This time
it comes from the Mason Laundry
team. which was defeated by a score of
to 3 in last Sundays game.
The Masons and the Folsom team
will contest for supremacy this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock. The game will be
on Ryan's diamond
The Phoenix men are to make one
of the longest trips made by any anna
teur team in the State when they go
to play the Bella Vista team. If we
are not mistaken, this game will be
played to-day in Redding.
Word has been received that the
Phoenix Club and the B. & F's have
consolidated, and it is the intention OF
the managers and players to make
this, one of the strongest teams in the
State. 1t will still be known as the
Phoenix as heretofore. Following IS
the lineup:
Cowden. catcher; Fitzgerald, pitcher;
Waterman, first base; Ridley cap

stop; Treichler, third base; Butler, left
