LOS ANGELES DAILY HERALD.
VOL. XXVI.
SACRAMENTO.
Hearst Regains the Seat
Stolen From Him.
JUSTICE PREVAILS AT LAST.
Senator George Hearst Sounds
Wei!—Mr. Hellmau Gets the
Los Aujreles Vote.
[Special to theHernld by the Associated Press J
Sacramento, January 14.—The joint
caucus waa called to order at 8:15 by
Senator Yell. Nobody wos admitted to
tbe Assembly chamber except Demo
cratic members of both houses. Upon
roll-call sixty-four members were pres
ent. A motion to adjourn by Rose was
lost by 46 to 18. Nominations were then
announced to be in order.
Gen. Cluuie nominated Hon. George
Hearst. In the course of his speech he
said: It was asserted by the Republican
press that if a Democratic Legislature
was elected it meant George Hearst for
Senator. He was as much before the
people for United States Senator aa
Mayor Bartlett was for Governor. The
people adopted tbe issue and gave us a
Democratic Legislature whicu to my
mind meant that Senator Hearst should
be returned to the United States Senate.
And why should this not be so? Is not
Senator Hearst a man to be proud of ?
Coming to this State iv early days
with the sturdy pioneers he has helped
to carve its destinies. He engaged in
quarlz mining, was successful, and to
day over four thousand men are iv his
employ, earning the highest wages and
are happy and contented. 1 claim,
that as a representative of the varied
interests of this State, Senatsr Hearst is
the peer of any gentleman; that he is as
close to the masses aud comes as near rep
resenting the people of this State as any
man within our borders. He is a repre
sentative Democrat. His untiring en
ergy, his devotion to the Stale, has
made hi n honored abroad and loved at
home.
His public record is in harmony with
our platform. His devotion to the
party and to the State, entitles him to
recognition at our bands. Give us
Hearst, and you will gladdent he
hearts cf every Democrat in
the State. The Democratic press of the
State endorse him, aud it seems to me
tbat wi.h such a unanimity of feeling
in his favor our plain duty is to see that
he is nominated aud eleoted to the
Senate of United States. Gentlemen, I
thank you for your attention, and will
now submit his name for your kind and
careful consideration."
Senator Goucher said: "Mr.Chairman:
I approach the discharge of my duty at
this time with extremely serious recol
lections, I distinctly remember how
resentful we were when tbe Republican
majority at tbe extra session, leaped be
yond the purpose of that session and
unseated George Hearst from his place
in tho Federal Senate. I remember the
universal indignation felt at that time
by Democratic voters. It has gone into
history that a holy thirst for mer
ited vengeance rose up in every Demo
cratic heart at that time and
grew sturdily throughout the oampaigv-
While no law compels mo to be gon.
erued in this mutter by the will of my
Democratic constituants, yet I cannot
feel that I can defy t he lofty unwritten
obligation I am under to do the will of
my people. I cannot throw aside as
worthless the fact that Mr. Hearst is
practically the unanimous choice of my
Democratic constituents. Inspired by
the feeling that it is my sacred duty to
execute the will of tbe majority of the
Democrats of my district, and convince 1
that Mr. Hearst is the choice of that
majority, I join here at tbis time, under
his banner, nnd take supreme pleasure
in seconding his nomination,"
Senator Caminetti also seconded
Hearst's nomiuation.
Sargent theu nominated Wilson,
which was seconded by Boggs. A ballot
was ordered and during its progress
Senator Hayncs, when his name was
called, arose and spoke in the highest
terms of Jackson Temple, for whom he
should vote. When Senator Roae's
name was called he voted for I. W.
HeUman, and in a few well chosen words
placed that gentleman in nomination.
A ballot was then taken and resulted
as follows:
For Hearst—Adams, Barton, Bost,
Briceland, Britt, Brooks, Callahan,
Caminetti, Clunie, Cohen, Colbert, Cope,
Dixon, Gesford, Goucher, Granger,
Gruwell, Heath, Allen Henry, J, R.
Heury, Hotchkiss, Jones, Langford,
Lawrence, Lenahan, Lewis Mahler,
Matthews from Tehama, Matthews from
San Benito, McCarthy, McLenahan,
McDudden, McDonald, Meany, Mitch
ell, Moffitt. Morgin, Morris, Murphy,
O'Grady, Pindar, Regan, Roth, Rucker,
Shin all an, Spellacy, Smith, Sullivan,
Toner, Venable, Wright, Yell, Young.
For Wilson—Boggs, Mann, Ohleyer,
Sargent, Scary.
For HeUman —Rose, Spurgeon, White
For Temple—Haynes, Henshaw, Ken
ison. Absent, Hart.
After the result bad been announced
and the cheers had died out the nomi
nation of Hearst, waa on motion of Sen
ator Boggs, made unanimous. There
npon the convention adjourned.
An informal reception was held after
the caucus in Mr. Hearst's rooms at the
Ooldea Eagle Hotel. They were soon
crowded. Senator Boggs proposed the
health of Mr. Hearst; Mr. Hearst re
plied in a brief speech saying: "Fellow-
Citizens and Democrats.—Yon bave
conferred on tne an honor that seldom
falls to the lot of man. You may notice
that I am laboring under some excite
ment, but it ia natural under tbe cir
cumstances. I only wish to aay that as
a representative of the people of thia
State, I hope to do them such service as
will make them as proud of me as 1
am of them to-night.

THE CABLE CAR OUTRAGE.
The strikers Had Nothlnsr to Do
With It
San Francwco, January 14.— J. C.
Wynegar, one of the laadtfl of the
striking carmen, was interviewed this
morning regarding last night's explo
sions, and said: "The carmen had
nothing lo do with tbe affair aud could
prove it. It ia being done by men who
sympathize with us-, and they think they
are doing us a favor, but they are
doing us a great injury. If we kuew
who they were we would be too glad to
give tbem up. It ia a cowardly busi
ness and has to be stopped." It is said
tho police have very strong evidence
against four men who have been arrest
ed on suspicion of being concerned ia
the outrages. Mrs. Hildebradt, who
was iujurtd by the Post street explosion,
is in a precarious condition. Her lower
extremities have been paralyzed, aud it
is feared tbat tbe injuries sustained may
terminate fatally. Mr. Hildobrandt,
her brother-in-law, ia also confined to
his bed. Several complaints have been
preferred against the men arrested, each
being charged with three offenses, viz.,
Placing obstructions on the railroad
track, assault to commit murder aud
using chemicals.
The Sutter-street Railroad Company
has offered one thousand dollars reward
for any information that will lead to

dollars.

THE SENATE ADOPTS THE BILL.
The Senatorial Matter Growing
Serious in Indiana—The Par
ties are 1 ied.
I fecial to the Herald bu the Associated Prest.
SENATB.
Washington, January 14.—Cullom
moved to proceed to the tbe considera
tion of the conference report on the lu
ter-State Commerce Bill. Agreed to by
37 to 12.
Before taking up the subject lugalls
offered a resolution calling upoi the Sec
retary of tbe Interior for information as
to the rejudication of private land claims
tn New Mexico, Oregon and Arizona.
Adopted.
Sabin introduced a bill to amend the
Act ef March 3d, 1875, granting to the
railroad the right of way through public
lands of the United States. Referred.
Sewell, of the conference committee,
introduced a bill making an annual ap
propriation to provide arms and equip
ments for the militia. He made a leport
reducing the appropriation from 5600,
--000 to $400,000, which waa agreed to.
The Senate then resumed tlie consid
eration of tbe Inter-State Commerce
bill, and was addressed by Hoar. At
the conclusion of Hoar's speech in the
Senate, in opposition to the lntcr-Stato
Commerce bill, Sherman took the floor
aud spoke for over au hour in opposi
tion lo tbe bill. Edmunds then spoke
in its favor.
Sherman said there was now a concur
rent .sent iment among all classes of peo
ple strongly represented in both Housea
of Congress, that there should be some
federal legislation in regard to inter
state commerce. There was such a
pressure of public opinion behind it tbat
uo conference committee could possibly
prevent its passage. He should vote to
recommend tbe bill to the same couferees
with a view to have them look over the
disputed points and see whether or not
they cau frame such provisions ua will
enable Senators ami Representatives to
vote for tbe bill froely without auy
doubt as to tbe effect of auy of iv pro
visions.
Edmunds argued in favor of tbe con
ference report. He claimed that as to
the short aud long haul section, the
conference committee had merely
changed tbe phrase ot the bill as passed
by the Senate but bad not changed its
substantial tenor or effect.
Aldricih argued against tbe fourth sec
tion of tbe bill. Ho expressed his pro
found conviction that if the fourth sec
tiou were enacted into a law it would
prove disastrous to tbe great interests of
the couutrv. He believed! it to be
reactionary iv its character and revolu
tionary of all sound principles, and its
rigid enforcement would demoralize and
cripple both internal and external com
merce.
Morrill said be had reached t!.e con
clusion tbat it was his duty to vote to
recommit the bill. He was satisfied
that the effect of thi fourth section
would be to increase tbe rates of freight
for long hauls aud, possibly, those for
short hauls also,
Cullom explained what the effect of
the provision wonlu be,
Sewcll inquired whether tbat would
coustitute au abrogation of the treaty of
Washington.
Cullum did not so understand it. His
impressioh waa that the treaty of Wash
ington had bean abrogated for some
time. If it were not an, thia was a mere
police regulation. The United States
had a right to require compliance with
it, and if a foreigu company did not
comply with it penalty would attach.
Edmunds stated that tbe 30th
article of the treaty of -Washington (which
seemed to be tho principal one iv tbis
connection) bad been terminated on the
first ot July, 1885, and was no longer in
force. There were no grouiuls whatever
for the pretense tbat, among all other
evils that would happen, any difficulty
would ariae iv regard to contravening
the existing treaty regulations with
Great Britian.
lugalls said In bad already given suf
ficient reasons why he would support
tbe bill. He would now yield to a mo
tion to recommit it.
Spooner said that if he felt in regard
to the bill us the Senator from Kansas
had expressed himself, he could not be
brought in d.feretiue to any clamor or to
auy eons.deration to support it,
Morgau in favoring the recommittal of
the bill said, if he had Ihe money of Jay
Gould, hia talents, hia erterprise, hia
ambition to absorb railroads aud to put
thtm under a single ownership, he would
uot want a better law passed than this
law in relation to pooling.
Callom rose to close the debate. He
had been listening all day to a-sail Its on
the bill, until be bad almost become
convinced that he was moat vicious
toward the railroads and tbat the bill
was intended to destroy the commerce of
tbe country aud to break down railroads,
and yet most of the as aults upon it
wore in relation to the provisions which
were in the bill aa it pissed the Senate.
The presiding officer having stated the
question to be on agreeing to the confer
ence report, Mr. Frye moved to reoom
mit the report with instructions to the
Senate conferees to insist on striking
out section 4 and substituting section 4
of tbe Senate bill; also on striking out
section 5 and substituting therefor sec
tion 19 of the Senate bill, which is the
clause authorizing the commissioners to
investigate the subject of pooling, and
report at some future day.
Mr. Eyarts said he would vote to re
commit, believing that that notion would
bring Congress and the country nearer
to a good hill than ever before.
Mr. Cullom eaid be should regard tbe
vote on the motion to recommit as a
test vote on (lie question. The vote waa
taken ou the motion to recommit and
tbe motion waa rejected: Voas 25, naya
36. A vote was then taken on the bill
and the conference report was agreed to:
Yeas 43, naya 15. Those who voted nay
were: Messrs. Aldrich, Blair, Brown,
Cameron, Chase, Cheney, Evarte, Hamp
ton, Hoar, Mitchell, of Pennsylvania,
Morrill, Mahone, Payne, PUtt, Wil
liams—ls.
The Senate then at 11:40 adjourned
till Monday.
Tne Electoral Count Bill.
Washington, January 14.—1n the
House to-day Caldwell submitted a con
ference report on the Electoral Count
bill and it was agreed to without debate
on division.
INDIANA.
The Contested Election Cases in
Ihe House.
Indianapolis, January 14.—The only
item of interest in the Legislature to-day
was developed iv the House, where two
reports in tbe Meagher contested elec
tion case were presented. It was deter
mined to devote three hours to debate,
tho time to be equally divided between
the parties, and tbat the vote should be*
taken not later than 5 o clock.
In the injunction proceedings of Smith
against Robertson, OTa tbe Lieutenant-
Gjvernorsbip, no further dilatory mo
tions were made. Attorney General
Mioheuer appeared for Robertson and
occupied tbe forenoon in an argument,
and tbe attorneys for Smith will, it is
expected, answer this afternoon. A de
cision to-night is possible but not at all
probable.
Attorneys for Smith consumed the af
ternoon iv their argumeut aud had not
concluded wheu tbe court adjourned.
The decision is expected to-morrow.
In the House at the conclusion of the
debate on the Meagher cases a vote was
taken and the seat awarded to Dickcrson
(Republican) by a strict party vote.
Meagher's seat was vacated on tbe
ground that he held tbe office of justice
of the peace and was ineligible under
the constitution. This action gives each
party 75 votes on joint ballot.
Tbe Democratic caucus held a meet
ing to-night to map out a line of policy
to be pursued in view of the unseat,ng
of Meagher by the Republican House.
It was decided to ignore the action of
tbe Honse in the matter. It ia possi
ble that the Democrats may conclude
to unseat some Senate Republicans but
no action looking to tbis end was taken.
It is almost certain that two joint con
ventions will be held and tbat two Sen
ators will be chosen.
THE FISHEUIES.
A Professor Uives Some of the In
side History.
Halifax, January 14. — To-morrow
there will be given to tbe public the
secret, according to Prof. Heury Goule
liiud, of tbe fiisberies troubles, and tbe
true basis of the award of 35,250,000,
against tbe United States. Soon after
the award was made the Professor, who
was employed by the Commission as
compiler, announced tbe discovery of
crooked statistics. Some noise was
made iv Congress and the Canadian Par
liament about tbis discovery, but inquiry
into tbe matter, he alleges, was smoth
ered. Tbe secret is in book form and
is addressed to Secretary Bayard and
the Governor General. In thia book he
claims to prove by an arithmetical pro
cess, fortified by a mathematical formula
that the major part cf the Cana
dian annual official trade tables
witn respect to trade with the
United States and Great Britain bave
been fabricated from 1867 up to 1885.
He further presents a statement that all
of the Canadian figures are interchange
able witb the fish trade figures in the
United States commerce and navigation
tables for 1873 4 aud aoine other years.
Tne Professor submits matheui.it cal
proot tbat all of the figures be intro
duces from tbe United States official
tables for the years of 1573 4, together
with all the figures be advances from the
Canadian official tables from 1867 to
1573, are not only interchangeable, but
are all equivalents of figures n the table
first published by the celebrated con
temporary to Newton, Borneiellia, of
Balein, iv 1713.
Bad for Blaisdell.
Washington, January 15.—Tho Sec
retary of tae Interior has decided to re
call tbe decision rendered some wn'ka
ago, allowing Solon G. Blaisdell to take
adjoining land to bis entry of land in
section 5, township 14, range 1, Los An
geles Land District. It was known
tbat Blaisdell had been a soldier when
this decision was rendered, and titers
fore did not need tbe land in question
under hia rights, which did not restrict
him to eighty acres of land. The cast
will probably be ended by Blaiaiiell being
deprived of his title.
Bad for Smokers.
Jersey City, January 14.—A1l the
hands, to tbe number of 3500, struck
work this morning at Lorillaid's tobacco
factory because of a proposed reduction

The remaining employes nt Lorillard's
tobacco works quit work this afternoon.
The last to go nut were the girls who
put revenue stamps on manufactured
goods. Tbe entire force of employes are
vow out and the large factories are lying
idle. Tbe strikers departed quietly and
there was no disorder.
A Virginia Hanging.

Madison was about 22 years old.
A Jury Discharged.
Wyandotte, Kin., January 14. —

A BAD SHOWING.
Carious Disbursement of
Railroad Coin.
LEGISLATION COSiTS MONEY.
Two Millions' of Dollars Given Up
Rather Than Explain Where
It Went To.
[Special io IheHtrald bylhe Associated Preesi
New York, Jannary 14.—The World
prints to-day a aworn statement from
TbeOpbilius Freucb, formerly commis
sioner and auditor of Pacific railroad
accounts, givirg payments amounting to
$2,000,000 and tbe names of the persona
to whom the payments were made by
C. P. Huntington and Leland Stanford
during the years from 1869 to 1881.
The statement occupied seven oolumns,
and in the list of names are many per
sons prominent in Washington, some of
them vow in the Senate and Honae.
From the World's statement it appears
that during Mr. Frenoh's three years of
office be rejected in the accounts of the
Pacific railroads over 82,000,000 as hav
ing been improperly disbursed. Under
the Thurxian act 25 per cent of tbe
net earnings of the subsidized rail
road have to be paid into the treasury
of the United States towards wiping out
the debt due the government. In order
to arrive at the correct amount of the net
earnings it is important to scrutinize the
items of money disbursed. Money im
properly disbursed cannot be deducted.
Mr. French found in the time he was in
office accounts to the amount of the sum
just named which tbe railroad company
would not explain. In no instance be
says was an explanation offered on the
list of accounts rejected by him. Mr.
French warned the railroad companies
that if the accounts were not explained
they would have to be rejected. In
several instances he says tbe officers of
tbe road withdrew and consulted about
explaining tbe items questioned but in
variably ihey refused to explain and
preferred to have the account rejected to
telling where the money went.
A PRIZE I'IUHT,
Two Light-weights Batter Each
Other'e Faces.
New York, January 14.—A bloody
contest, with two ounce gloves, was
fought to a finish at Long Island to
night, by the light-weights, Billy Davis,
110 pounds, aud Eugene Hornbacber,
120 pounds. Davis was the more scien
tific In the ;sixtb round he caught
Hornbacher on tbe jugular, knocking
bim down and nearly ending the fight.
Had Davis gone in oa bis point be could
have won, but he took it easy to wear
his man out. Hornbacher was a stayer.
Davis knocked bin dowu again.
In the fifteenth round Horn-
becher cut Davis' lip open, and slugging
followed for four round*. At the end
of the nineteenth round Hornbacher hit
Davis on the jaw a terrific blow, and tbe
blood gushed from bis mouth as be fell.
Davis was in bid condition for tivo
rounds, but v/tts kept up with brandy,
and managed to get in several faoers,
making a losing light in a very game
way. At the close of the twenty-ninth
round, both men were very weak and the
referee ordered another round for a deci
sion. Neither could knock the oilier
out, however, and the fight was declared
a draw in the thirtieth round.
A < I 1.1 Alt DEATH.
wiiu i a man Hot for Kissing
11 lm Sweetheart.
Louisville, January 14.—Jobn Sni
gert, a young man, & tailor, died in this
city this morning, the circumstances at
tending his death being somewhat pecu
liar. He had been visiting for a long
time a young lady named Miss Theresa
Pleffer, and was engaged to ber. The
wedding was to take place shortly.
Wednesday night he called and the
twain lovingly and happily discussed
their future. About 10 o'clock he rose
to go and was kissing his sweetheart
good night, when be experienced a
choking sensation in his throat, swooned
and fell to the floor. He was carried to
a bedroom in the house and medical aid
summoned, but after regaining con
sciousness his throat contined to swell.
He was unable to catch his breath and
was finally smothered to death.
Why Churchill Resigned.
London, January 14. — Lord Ran
dolph Churchill in a letter explaining
his resignation from the Cabinet says his
object was to secure economy, combinod
with efficiency. He will gladly cooper
ate with auy oue in the endeavor to in
duce or compel the House of Commons
to revert to the better financial princi
ples which prevailed before 1874. He
continues: "If economy is unpopular in
Downing street we musi make it popu
lar. Calamities incalculable will result
if the present system of lavish, uncon
trolled expenditure be allowed to con
