2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1897. any formality this morning. Directly atter the opening prayer by the chaplain North of Alameda offered a resolution exciuding all save members and attaches of the Assembly from the floor, and the rule of the House was enforced. Breiling, Fontena, Goodhue, Treacy and Burnett were appoiuted a Commiitee on Mileage. By resblution the contingent expenses were fixed at $25 per member. The Assembly considered such topics as the free coinage of silver, tion of the Nicaragua canzl, the annexas tion of the republic of Hawaii, the refund ing of the Pacific railroad debts, the tariff on fruits and many other subjects of minor importance. Assemblyman J, B. Sanford of Point Arena was the author of the free coinage of siver resolutions. They are identical with the resolutions adopted by both houses of the Legislature two years ago. They were referred to the Committes on Federal Relations. The same reference was made of Caminetti’s resolution to annex Hawaii. The canal resoiution intro- duced by Assembyman Hudson of Monte- rey was also sent to Federal Relations Commmittee. The Governor's message, accompanied by the report of the Capitol Commission- ers, was presented in due time. Such haste or commendable progress in the dispatch of busiuess was made that bly was able to take up Senate vesterda: ng Congress to protect the products of California orchards in the tariff measure now being framed in Wash- | ington received the concurrence of the | mbly without a dissenting vote.

Caminetti said he agreed entirely with the foregoing substitute, but he offered the following as a supplemental report: Mr. Speaker cord and The undersigned are in full ac- gree to the substitute reported by e, but favor the addition thereto the ¢ , That the petition te of Caltfornie for a sfore the respective committees of Rep tes are each | hereby further petit! commit the | measure nc under consideration and delay i m until such heering can be hed. y submitted, A. CAMINETT! WILLIAM MEA Caminetti made an extended speech dwelling chiefly on the siatement that | California had been deprived of the op- | portunity to present the case of the peo- | ple to the Congressional committees. He quoted from railroad statistics to show the immense and fraudulent capitaliza- tion of the Pacific roads in general and the Central Pacific in particulur. In the case of the Central Pacific he figured the false capitalization at $172,000,000, observing thal the refunding measure pending in Congress meant tbat the people of Cali- fornia would have to sustain the burden of paying interest on this stupendous sum. Caminetti referred to a divided Cali- fornia delegation in Congress, and spoke of the unfaithful conduct of one Repre- | sentative. He insisted that California | should invoke tbe sacred rightof petition- ing as a sovereign State, and asking to be heard in opposition to the funding scheme, He asserted that the State was now confronted by an extraordinary cpn- dition of aff: Reference was made to a recent decision of a Federal court, in which the power of ti.e California Rail- | road Commissioners to adjust rates had been denied. He interpreted the decision to mean that rates of freight might be made to pay interest on the false and | monstrous capitalization of §172,000,000. Assemblyman Cutter of Yuba saw no objection whatever to the adoption of Caminetti’s supplemental report. Dryden presented a substitute provid- ing for Government ownership, and the operation of the roads for the benefit of the whole people. He spoke in support of his position. Belshaw ieared that a declaration in favor of Government ownership of the roads would do the cause of the people of California, at this time, more harm than good. He undersiood that many Con- gressmen in the East were strongly op- posed to Government control and man- agement. Assemblyman Emmons.of Kern really believed the Government should take and operate the roads, but he doubted the wis- dom of expressing that conviction. There was danger in asking too much, as many people in the East were inclined to regard Californians as a race of hoodlums, Assemblyman Burnettof Kern desired to strike from the substitute all reference to the immediate collection of the debt. After farther debate Belshaw accepted the Caminett: supplement. The amend- ments offered by Dryden and Burnett C. M. Belshaw. R. N. Bulla. F. R, Stansell H. H. North, were rejected and the substitute report as agreed on in Republican caucus, includ- ing Caminetti's substitute, prevailed. The next scene of the day was the intro-" duction of bills. Howard Wright of Ala- meda got in number one, an appropria- tion for the deaf and dum asylum. Henry C. Dibble came next with seven bills. Eighty-three bills were introduced. Many large appropriations are involyved. A proposéd branch Normal School at San Diego, Cal., calls for $75,000. i e ot i PROPOSED LEGISLATION. Colonel Shaw May Be Authorized to Construct a Big Cltrus Arch at Washington. SACRAMENTO, Car., Jan. 5.—Colonel Henry G. Shaw of Stockton is here for the purpose of asking an appropration of $3000 to be expended in the construction MR. MOREHOUSE SHERIFF McKENZIE of Napa Startles Midnight Prowler-s o ~ Sl ' .m’ 2 M,f'@,. (! ) Rises to the Occasion. of a big citrus arch in Washington on the occasion of the inauguration of the Presi- dent, the arch to serve a twofold purpose —to honor the President and to advertise the resources of California. The structure will be of redwood and will be covered with oranges, lemons and raisins arranged in fanciful designs with appropriate mot- toes of a non-partisan character. The members with whom Colonel Shaw bave conversed have expressed them- selves favorably in the matter, and there is no doubt that the appropriation will be made. The colonel is a well-known news- paper writer and 15 an old_soldier, carry. ing yet as a memento of the wara minie- rifle bullet received at the battle of Chickamauga. He is not wearing it ‘next his heart and done up in a neat packet of silk and satin, but he is carrying it where be can’t lose it—in the middle of his right lung. A bill will be introduced in a few days for the appointment of an official short- hand reporter in each branch of the Leg- islature to take down the proceedings and the speeches of the members. If - this should become a law it will be necessary to proiong the session by six months, in order to allow all the orators an opportu- nity of being heard and of being written down to posterity in undecipherable hen scratches. If the speeches should be printed what a magnificent library would they not make! There is no doubt fhat in that vast collection-of volumes, which will be equal in size to the greai Alexan- drian library, now alas! lost to the world, there will be found wisdom greater than that of Solomon, eloquence zreater than that of Burke, Phillips, Fox or Damos- thenes and a knowledze of human nature and the science of government beside which that of Herbert Spencer would be only a kindergarten. 3 Mr. Demosthenes was no great shakes anyhow. He had so much wool in his chest notes that he was obliged to fill his mouth with pebbles in order to digest his articulation, just as you fill the crop of a chicken with gravel. When he became-a' member of the Athenian Legislature from Ninety-fifth Assembly District, he was known to take bribes from one party with the right hand and from the opposing party with the left. Then when the matter came to a vote, be wrapped his throat in red flannel, boughta physicisn’s certificate to the effect that he was suffering from clergyman’s sore throat, and went into the country shooting snipe. The salary for these official reporters, should the bill pass, will be $10 a day for taking aown the speeches, but when Smith of the Eighty-second accuses Jones of the Ninety-seventh of having used incendiary language on the day before, Jones will hotly call upon the reporter to furnish the transcript of the whole speech in order that be may hurl it in the teeth of Smith at a further cost to the State of 20 cents per 100 words. Senator White will ask for an appropri- ation of $5000 fo be used in preparing an exhibition of California iruit and other products at the Central American Expo- sition in Guatemala, h will open on March 15. It is net thought$hat there will be any serious opposition to the bill, as it is believed that the value of the ex- penditure will be much more than made up by the good which the advertisement will confer upon California. CAMINETTI IS WARNED. Republican Caucus Resolutions on Refunding May Do Injury to the Cause. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Jan. 5,—The fol- lowing was received by Mr. Caminetti to-night: Sax FRANCISCO, January 5, 1897. Hon. A. Caminctti, Assembly, Sacramento: Re- publican caucus resolutions on anti-funding are calculated to do the caus: greatinjury. There is no proposition involved of Govern- ment ownership. The roads, if sold at auétion, will find bidders and pass into competitive hands. Such resolutions will only repel East- ern sentiment, and, if offered in good faith snould be at once corrected. We have seht a similar telegram to Mr. Belshaw. Sepator Perkins’ friends should be warned of the dan- ger of such proceedings. JoHN T. DOYLE, - E. W. MOKINSTRY, JOHN A. STANLE’ JaMES D, PHELAN, Sub-Committee Citizen’s Committee 01 Fitty. SIR CHARLES TUPPER TALKS. His Audience at a London Dinner Said the United States Would Never Get Canada. LONDON, Exc., Jan. 5.=Sir Charles Tupper, formerly Canadian High Com- missioner to Great Britain and more re- cently Prime Minister to Canada, which office he resigned on July 8 last; Sir Rob- ert George Wyndham Herbert, who was permaneat Under Secretary of State for ‘the colonies from 1870 to- 1892, and who is now Agent-General for Tasmania, and the Hon. Duncan Gilles, Agent-General for Victoriz, were the guests of honor this evening at a banquet given at the St. George Club of this city. Major-General Sir Owen Burne presided in the absence of Lord Loch, formerly Governor of Cape Colony and her, Majes- ty’s High Commissiober to South Africa. Among those present were Sir Donaid Smith, Canadian High Commi-sioner to Great Britain; A. G. Joner, Sanford Flem- ing, Major John W. Laarie, M. P., who was at one time a cotonel in the Canadian mili- tig, and Rufus Pope, a member of the Canadian Parliament. General Burns in toasting Sir Charles Tupper made alengthy reference to his distinguished career. In replying to the toast Sir Charles said that he did not go from London to Canada for the purpose of succeeding Sir Mackenzie Bowell in the | Eremiennip, but that he was summoned | y the latter to confer with the Govern- ment on important business connected with Canada and the empire. He had been reluctantly drawn into politics when he thought he had retired from an active political life. The Libersl and Conserva- tive pariies in Canada had asked him to re-enter the arena.

Cutter. 1888, respecting the American fisheries, Sir Charles paid a high tribute to thie tact and ability of Joseph Chamberlain, now Secretary of State for the Colonies, who was one of the Treaiy Commissioners. Referring to the situation in Canada, Sir Charles said that if the Dominion were isolated it must fall into the lapof the United States. He greatly admired the United States, but was profoundly con- vinced that union with Great Britain was the only true security for real liberty to all parties. The United States, he added, desired to absorb Canada. [Cries of “*They will never getit”]. The Canadian fisheries were ti.e chief attraction for the United States and the minerals of the Dominion was another. Canada could give tte United States the finest harbors in the world, besides bring- ing that country 600 miles nearer to Great Britain. He contended that Canada’s deep-seated loyalty to Great Britain would always be an impassable barrier to absorption. Sir Charles spoke in praise of Sir Donald Smith, his successor in the Canadian com- missionership, who, he said, was highly esteemed by all partiesin Cinada. His reference to Sir Donald was greeted witi cheers, pEugEl LOOKS LIKE MADDEN. lliinois’ Speaker Elected by the Machine Which Backs the Chicago Candidate. SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Jan. 5—Edward C. Curtis of Grant Park, Kankakee County, was nominated for Speaker at a caucus to-night of the Republican mem- bers of the lower house. The majority of votes for him assures his election. He was the choice of the State machine, which is backing Alderman Madden of Chicago for United States Senator, and the result of the caucus is taken by the machine leaders and their followers in the Legislature as a forecast of the election of Madden. The lines in the Speakership fight were ciearly drawn for and against the machine. E. G. Schubert of Cook County has re- ceived the promise of the machine sup- port, but at an all-night meeting of the ieaders it was seen that his candidacy was hurting the prospects of Madden, and, after Governor-elect Tanner had arrived before daylight this morning from Chicago to straighten out the tangle, 1t was de- cided to drop the Chicago man with his consent and take up Curtis. This move was a surprise to everybody when they awoke this morning., Charles Allen of Vermillion County also withdrew in favor of Curtis. Selby became a candi- date only in name and the fight narrowed | do¥n to Curtis, W. G. Cochran, the anti- achine leader, and Colonel Charles Page B -an of Du Page County. The new choice of the machine cut into the strength of the opposition, especially ns Bryan is not egainst the machine. The Governor-elect worked hard for Curtis all duy and there is now no doubt that he will throw all the influence of S:ate patronage toward Madden. The ac- tion of the caucus to-night was unani- mous and the number of members present relieves the situation of any douol as to the selection of Curtis when the House meets. Selby, Allen and Schubert, the retiring candidates, seconded the nomina- tion of Curtis. Curtis said it was as much a surprise to him as anybody. Hede- clared that he had given no. pledges to any orgzanization and would favor none in the administration of ‘his office. gy GALLAGHER LOST BY A FLUKE. Brok> His Arm After He Had Burns at His Mercy in Their Go at Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Cix., Jan. 5.—By acci- dent, Billy Gallagher broke his right arm to-night in his fight with J. Burns before the Los Angeles Athletic Club, and had to retire. He had his opponent at his mercy and would have finished him in that round. The fight was for fifteen rounds. 1In the third Gallagher began on Burns and knocked him down with a blow on the jaw. In the fourth round Gallagher feinted with his left and scored a clean knockdown with a right swing on the jaw. Burns took his ten seconds. Gallagher again swung his right on the jaw and Burns fell toward Gallagher, who hit him with a light left as he came. Burns went down on his hands and knees. There were cries of foul from Burns’ seconds and the time-keeper counted Burns out, but the referee, after a wrangle, ordered the men together agsin. Burns by this time had recovered slightly and staggered toward Gallagher when time was called. Burns was really out in this round. In the fifth round Gallagher started in to finish his man, and hit Burns a right and left. He swung his left for the head, but missed, his wrist going hard against the back of Burps’ head, breaking the arm. Gallagher then fiddled and allowed Burns to pick up, greatly to the surprise of the spectators. Gallagher easily avoided Burns’ rushes, but did not at- tempt to land. In the next round, after some feints and rushes on the part of Burns, which Gal- lagher evaded, the referee announced that Gallagher could not go on as he had broken his arm. The fight was awarded to Burns. okt aindt WOLCOTT'S VISIT. London Not Excited, but Will Receive Him Cordially—The Silver Talk There. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 5.—The Tri- bune to-morrow will publish the follow- ing cablegram from its correspondent in London: The approaching visit of Sen- ator Wolcott to London is not discussed by the press, but bankers and practical financiers are talking about it quietly among themselves and are not inclined to dismiss it as a political maneuver. He wiil certainly be received with un- usual cordiality. Bimetallists will wel- come him and eagerly exchange views with him. The financial situation, however, is fa- vorable in one respect for promoting the objects of Senator Wolcott’s mission. The export of gold from England to Inaia which has been forecast by shrewd ob- servers for several wecks has begun. The amount of gold is not large yer, but with the continuance of ihe money stringency in India and with exchanges so high that gold can be profitably imported ia p: ment for merchandise it is probable that the movement will last for several months. I learned on excellent authority that there have been informal conierences be- tween the financial authorities of the British Government and the officers of the Bank of England and other prominent bankers, and that three concessions on the silver question have been suggested as possible in any conference with Senator Wolcott or in negotiations with the American Government.

The trade supplied by Redington & Co., Mack & Co, and Langley & Mic! els, San Francisco, for the coinage of silyer; second, the coin- age outright of §5,000,000 worth in silverin England; third, an increase of silver de- posits in the bank uff England to the ex- tent of 25 per cent of the reserve, These Uiiree concessions _have been cere tainly discussed quietly, although neither the Bank of England nor the Government is committed in any way to a formal offer 1o Senator Wolcott or to any representa- tive of the American Government. This probably represents the limit to whmlu England will go. Bimetallism is hardly within the range of possibilities. So far as England is concerned an_international conference is highly imp}'ncucable unless a definite basis of ction is proposed in the _orm of a new ratio between gold and silver. The conditions of Indian finance, however, make it possible for the sake of reopening the Indian mints and easing the situation.
