Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 3.— New
danger confronts the statehood bill In
the fight that will arise in the senate
tomorrow when It Is attempted to
carry out the program of the steering
committee and make it the unfinished
business'ln preference to the pure food
bill" whose supporters claim .has the
right of way.'
Several northwestern Republican sen
ators and most of, the Democratic sena
tors, it is sald^will stand by^the pure
food bill and vote against' displacing
it with, the statehood measure. ■ The
Republican friends of • pure food are
favorable to the statehood ;t»lll, but
insist that the other measure! must be
disposed of before statehood is made
the unfinished business. If the pure
food bill wins the contest there will be
much talking on it, thus greatly In
creasing the chance that there will not
bo time for consideration of statehood
and getting to, a 'vote on it before the
fourth of March." It statehood wins,
it will make the advocates of pure food,
who are no w" friendly to statehood, un
friendly to that measure. Thus, the
chances of tho latter seem bound to
be adversely affected in any event. /

Report to Congress

WASHINGTON, D. C.j 3.— 'lhe
oxpect-jd attack on the Pannuin. fallal
commission will begin .Immediately In
tho house of representatlvefl. Repre
sentative Mtum nf Chicago, a member
of, the committee on Interstate com
merce, has prepared a bill which ho
Is expected to Introduce tomorrow that
embodies tho views of Chairman 1 lop
burn of . the committee whlcir"vlsu«vi
I'linama In November, The : bill re
peals section seven of the Hpooimr act
ot Juha 28,' J 902, which created tho
canal commission, and provides that
the president shall have control of
operations on tho canal, employing
such agents and assistants as may be
necessary until the end of tho next
congress.
Ths Mann bill also t provides that the
president shall make an annual report
cf expenditures und work on the cunal
to congress and shall submit estimates
of the amount that can be Judiciously
expended on tho cunal for UTie • suc
ceeding fiscal ' year. The purpose . of
the bill in limiting the authority ot
the president and requiring an annual
report and estimates of expenditures is
to make' sure that the whole canal sit
uation shall be brought up for review
in the next, congress.
| The members of the house committee
on commerce who made the trip ■to
Panama in the fall ■ are practically
unanimous in the opinion that the pres
ent canal commission should be abol
ished and a more business-like way
found of supervising the construction of
the canal. If the Mann bill should pass
lt'would result in giving Chief Engineer
Wuliace control on construction for the
next two' years at least. This would
be. ;thQ- best thing that- could- happen,
according to the. view of the members

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY
IN DUNSMUIR WILL CASE

By Associated Pi-oss.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.— Hereafter
the hearing of the testimony In the
Dunsmuir. will contest before Courte
nay - Bennett, British j consul general
acting as crown commissioner, will be
in open court. This was determined at
today's session, before the hearing of
witnesses began.
. ■ J. A. IiOW, formerly manager in this
city ,of It. Dunsmulr's Sons, and who
was "one of the witnesses to the will,
was on the stand most of tho day.
His 'direct examination: was conducted
by/A. P; Luxon, who succeeded in se
curing ■ a statement from tho witness
that, at the, time ' he signed the will
us a witness he knew It was a will. At
the hearing in Victoria he testified that
he signed the document without .know
ing in tho least* what.it was.' This
change in testimony Is very important,"
as under tho California law it is
necessary to have two witnesses to a
will who know that they are acting in
that capacity. The witness was cross
examined by Sir Charles Tupper.

SENATORIAL DARK
HORSE IS FEARED
RUMORS CAUSE ASPIRANTS
PLENTY OF WORRY
PARDEE'S MESSAGE IS HEARD
Emphasizes Need of Economy, and
Discusses Taxation, Schools,
. Water, College of Agri
culture, Etc.
By a Staff Correspondent
SACRA MKNI'b, Jan. 3.— A1l Is ex
citement here over the rumor that a
"dark horse" may come forward ut the
last moment and capture the senator
ial honors, for which numerous candi
dates are now so strenuously exerting
themselves.
"Dark horses" arc dangerous' In pol
itics and nono 1 realizes that fact bolter
Ht present, than th(* two lending sena
torial aspirants, Flint and Hard.
Neither has sufficient strength to oloct,
so that tho probability of a deadlock In
the legislature Is strong. In tills event
some one of the candidates must give
way. Who.lt will be remains to be
seen. With five candidates already In
the Held, and the possibility of several
more entering the contest within the
next few days, things are beginning to
look squally all along the line. Tho
toga hangs In the balance and Indica
tions are that it will remain there for
some time to come.
This morning a report was circulated
to tho effect l,hat U. S. Grant of San
Diego will come to the capital in a few
days' with the view of launching a
campaign for senatorial honors. It Is
said the San Diego delegations in both
houses stand ready to boom his candi
dacy, If It develops that he '; has any
chnnce to win. However, i they . deny
that. they will give' him the compli
mentary vote. He must have substan
tial backing and then he may play for
San Diego's support. .'.;'
Notwithstanding that balloting will
commence, next. Tuesday on. the sena
torshlp and that the Republican politi
cal bosses from all parts- of the state
are here, there has been no evidence of
the traditional . "sack opening" • . yet.
Consequently,' there are those .who
"must -be shown" before they express
themselves on the question. •' •.-> ■
1 The law-makers it would seem from
incidents which occurred- today . need
the money. Some of . the old members
of the legislature are said .to have gone
so far as -to threaten the new 'ones
unless they would "split" .j with them!
In order to even, up , things, the assem
bly.voted to allow, the fouriDemocratic
members.' the same patronage given the
Republicans and then the grand climax
o'ame when several, of the majority
leaders wanted a share' of the spoils.
They had already placed their allow
ances' and there were others whom they
must provide for. They got .what they
wanted.i,r;Many of the hew Republican
legislators,' opposed the patronage
"graff'ln caucus but the old members
would not 'stand^for, it.. They wanted
all they could get. "
While the Democratic assemblymen
have been voted patronage, '.the minor
ity In the senate— Digs, Cutin, Sanford
and Kmmons— say they do; not'- want
any plunder. All they ask is one sten
ographer each in order to handle their
work. But to 'size- up the senatorial
situation as an uninslructed senator did
today, ; "there is nothing doing." Said
this senator: "We are waiting for
something to turn up. Wo have not
been able to find out yet, what that
man Herrln wants for the. place., 1
suppose he will spring the nume when
he gets ready." . . ,-'
It all seenls to be up 10-Jhe railroad;
which is called "the organization," und
that has not started to give orders yet.
