SACRAMENTO, Car, Feb. 2.— Owing to the opposition manifested and views advanced by the Ban Franeisco Butchers’ Board of Trade relative to the bills giy- ing additional power to the boards of health of counties and cities, Senator Wolfe, who introduced these measures, will withdraw them to-morrow. He said to-night: “Iintroduced the Board of Health bills at the request of Mr. McEnerney, tke at- torney for the Board of Health' of San Francisco. I did not examine closely into the bills and never renlized how far- reaching they were at the time. I was surprised on” my returning from the trip to Southern California with the commi tees of the Senate to find that the Butel ers' Board of Trade of San Francisco op- posed the measures. I read their pampi- let and quite agree with their views. I shall to-morrow ask leave of the Senate to withdraw the bills,”” CORN AND OHEMICALS. Said to Have Supplanted Barley and Malt in Beer-Making. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2.—A dispatch from Mil- waukee says: The tremendous drop in the barley mali product has stirred up the malt- sters, aud they evince a disposition taguake some interesting disclosures. ‘They freely de- clare that in many breweries a barrel of beer is being made with the use of but a hali-bushel of barley malt, while the German standard for ure beer is three bushels. The claim is as reely made -ihat corn and chemicals have practically supplanted barley in_the produc- tion of the beverage of the world. When the attention of Mr. Aug. A. Busch, vice-president of the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Association, was called to the'above article he expresed no surprise in seeing the dispatch from Milwaukee, calling attention to the tremendous drop in the barley malt product, but wondered why more had not been said in public print with reference to the matter. Con- tinuing, be said: “We do not now, nor have we ever, used corn in the prodnction of any of our beers, and we have alwavs contended that first-class beer cannot be made by using corn as a substitute for barley malt.”” SEeosL Gl s Received Uy the Pope. ROME, IraLy, Feb. 2 —The Pope to- day gave an audience to Dr. Peitri, the Minister Plenipotentiary of Venezucla to the Vatican. SACRAMENTO, CaL.,, Feb. 2.—The le islative junketers who visited State insti- tutions with Governor Budd last week have returned, and their report will be made publicin a day or two. Assembly- man Treacy, who accompanied the party as the representative of the minority, says bard things about the management of public institutions, and declares that many of them are conducted in a wasteful, extravagant and shiftless manner. He told a CarL reporter to-day how the visit bad 1mpressed him with reference to cer- tain appropriations asked for by those in- stitutions. He found that the Los Angeles Normal School wanted $5000 for lighting a room 52 by 30 feet, when the construc- tion of an additionai window would serve the purpose. The Stocktou Asylum for the Insane asks $7000 for a mansion for the Superintendent and $3000 ior turnish- ing the same. The Superintendent and his family are boarded free at the asylum, and he is allowed §$100 for rent. Mr. Treacy is therefore opposed to the appro- priation. San Diego wants $25,000 for a wharf on property the title to which 1sin litiga- tion. She also wants.a normal school, while there is a normal school in Los Angeles, 126 miles away. and to which San Diezo sends only séven pupils. She asks $30,000 for cleaning out the harbor, vet tiie United States Government is now working on a breakwater, which will ren- der cleaning out the Larbor unnecessary. The insiitution at Highlands asks $60,000 for an administration building, $30,000 for a drainage sysiem and $10,000 for'a new barn. In Mr. Treacy’s opinion an administration building is not needed, “the institution not being an international exposition.” The barn is needed, but $2000 should build it, and the drains could be arranged for $10,000. Whittier and Highlands ask for 100 additional acres of land. 1t is the im- pression that botn institutions have more Iand now than they can take care of. The committee found a peculiar con- dition of affairs at Whittier. The estab- lishment has about 300 boys, the daily maintenance of which per head amounts to 75 cents, while the care and mainten- ance of the patients in the Stockton In- sane Asylum amounts to only 35 cents per day per head. The institution has an en- gineer, a tailor, a shoemaker, a laundr: man, a baker, a carpenter, a painter, a blacksmith, a brickluyer and a br maker. ‘The attention of the committee was called to a big crack in the brick wall of one of the buildings and to a big pite of bricks made by the boys under the direc- tion of the bricklayer, and they wondered why the institution could not buid its own buildings and maintain and clothe its inmates. The land is some of the finest in the State, sixty acres, and worth $300 per acre, but the only crop is hay and oranges. The irustees are asking the State for an propriation with which to build a work- .Eop, and Mr. Treacy cannot see why the carpenter, the bricklayer, the painter, the that this sum could be saved to the State. ————— | LANGFORI’S AMENDMENT. Opposition of the Minority to Abolishing the Eailroad Commission. SACRAMENTO, Car., Feb. 2.—Fresh interest was aroused to-day in the con- stitutional amendment introduced by Senator Langford early in the session, providing for the repeal of those sections of the constitution which provide for the creation and maintenance of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners. At the time the Committee on Consti- tutional Amendments had the measure under consideration and decided to recom- mend its passage Senator Braunhart was ‘absent. It was known that he was op- posed to the abolition of the commission, and the report of the majority of the com- mittee was withheld until he had time to prepare a minority report. This he did to-day, and the majority and minority re- ports will be submitted to-morrow. The minority report takes a strong stand against the wiping out of; the Railroad Commission, and incidenthlly pays some powerful left-handed compliments to the Legislatures of the past. Its most striking portions follow : It will be well to recollect that when the section establishing the Railroad Commission was proposed for insertion in our present State constitution the expediency as well as the necessity of such a provision had been fully demonstrated at nearly every session of the Legislature, where all efforts to regulate the scale of prices for freight and passengers had either proven wholly or partially abortive. Putting aside all imputations upon the in- tegrity of the law-makers, every Legislature | has failed to regulate fares and freights by the | establishment of maximum and minimum rates.

Should this Legislature in its wis- dom see fit to recommend that the proy creating a Railroad Commission be stricken from the constitution, not only would the recent advintages 50 stubbornly fought ior and won after so many apparently iusuper- able diiliculties be entirely lost, but the resuit would be that the railroad corporations would have unrestricted license to establish such ratesas the managers of these corporations would deem proper. | The peopie are aroused to a pitch that will | Dot brook paitering with the questions that so vitally concern their very existence.
