TO ELECT A U. s. SENATOR.
California Legislature Assemblies
and Is Lectured by the
Governor.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 29--The SEN
ate and assembly Of California today per-
fected its organization to meet in extra
ordinary session. Much difference of
opinion prevailed among the members as
to the necessity of reorganizing The Re-
publican majority of the senate caucused
il was necessary to reorganize. This was
done by the reelection Of the officers
and many of the attaches of the regular
session.
The assemblymen did not caucus. Two
resolutions were introduced in this body,
one of which declared the house to be
other, a substitute. declaring that Of
flcers of the regular session to be under
its provision elected. The word elected
led to an extended debate, which resulted
in the substitute being withdrawn and
the original resolution adopted. The body
then proceeded Immediately to business
however. that the vote for United States
senator shall not be taken until the sec
ond Tuesday after reorganization, a week
from tomorrow.
BY o'clock the two houses were ready
to receive the governors message. The
governor. as a special privilege, asked to
ting Jointly, a thing unprecedented in the
history of California legislatures. The
request was granted.
The message contained some 1000 words,
treating the several purposes for which
the legislature had been called together
The most important of those was the
matter of electing United States senator
to succeed the Hon. Stephen M. White.
Those who were responsible for the fail
ure to elect at the regular session were
severely denounced and the Republican
papers, which, according to the governor.
were in a measure responsible for it. Sc
verely condemned. The Importance of
the state having a full representation
in congress at this particular time, when
the nation is expanding westward, was
treated at length. The whole proceeding
was of SO unusual a nature that it Gre
ated an interest bordering on the sensa-
tiOnal.

LONDON, JAN 20. - The Westminster

again misleading the public. The plain
truth is that we will have to make

LARGE BUILDING BURNED.
Suddenly Created Steam Blows Out
the Walls.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29-The seven-story
building on Cherry street occupied by the
Haywood Bros. & Wakefield Company as
chair factory, was destroyed by fire
today during the prevalence of a fierce
gale, which made the work of the fremen
extremely difficult.
When the fire broke out there were
about $50 men at work in the building, but
all escaped without injury. The bursting
of tank on the roof of the building
which precipitated 10000 gallons of water
upon the fire raging below generated so
much steam that the walls burst open.
Fart of the east wall fell on the Gerrish
warehouse and carried three firemen with
1t. For a time it was feared the men
were lost. but they were extricated with
out having sustained serious injury.
The loss on the building and contents.
which were completely destroyed, is es-
timated at $500 600

en- From the Position.
LONDON, Jan. 30.--A special dispatch
from Frere camp. dated Friday, Jan. 20,
$40 p. m. says:
II have just ridden in here, having left
Gen. Buffers forces in the new positions
south OF the Tugela, to which they retired
in consequence of the reverse at Spionkop.
Fighting was Desperate.
1.-THE lighting both before and after the
occupation Of the mountain was of des-
perate character. Spionkop is a precipi-
tous mountain. overlapping the whole line
OF kcpjes along the upper Tugela. On
the eastern side Of the mountain faces Mt.
Alice and Potgieters drift. standing at
right angles to the Boer central position.
The southern point descends in abrupt
steps to the lower line Of kopjes On the
western side. opposite the right outposts
of Warren's force, 1t is Unnecessarily steep
until the point where the mex joins the
kop to the main range. Then there is
gentle slope. which allows easy access to
the summit.
The Position Taken.
THE mex was strongly held by the
Beers. who also occupied a heavy spur,
parallel with the kopie, where the enemy
was concealed in no fewer than thirty
five rifle pits, and was thus enabled to
bring to bear upon the men a damaging
crossfire, the only possible point for
British attack being the southern side,
with virtually sheer precipices on the left
and right.
"A narrow footpath. admitting men in
single file only, to the summit, opens into
q perfectly nat table land, probably of
5000 square yards area, upon which the

occupy the further end of the table land
where the ridge descends to another fiat,
which was again succeeded by a round
eminence held by the Beers in great
strength.
summit n Perfect He'll.
''The ridge held by our men was faced by
a number of strong little kopjes at all
angles, whence the Beers sent a concen-
trated fire from their rifles. supported by a
Maxim ordenfeldt and big long range
gun. What with the rifles the machine
guns and the big gun, the summit was
converted into a perfect hell. The shells
exploded continually in our ranks and the
rife fire from an absolutely unseen enemy
was perfectly appalling.
"Reinforcements we're hurried up by
Gen. Warren, but they had to cross a
stretch of fiat ground which was literally
torn UP by the flying lead Of the enemy.
The unfinished trench on the summit gave
very questionable shelter, as the enemy's
machine guns were SO accurately trained
upon the place that often sixteen shells fell
in the trench In single minute.
Could Not he Held.
Mortal man could not permanently hold
such position. Our gallant fellows held
1t tenaciously for twenty-four hours and
then, taking advantage of the dark night
abandoned 1t to the enemy"
