Sacramento People Indignant Over the Examiner’s Uncalled-for Abuss. SACRAMENTO, CaL., March 10.—Much indignation prevails among the most re- spectable citizens of S8acramento with rei- erence to the uncalled-for slurs cast upon them by the Examiner this morning, wherein the peope who applauded Sen- ators Morehouse and Boyce and the vote by which the Examiner's manager was adjudged guilty of contempt are de nounced as the “ragtag of tbe lobby and | the offscourings of all social conditions.” The extracts from the Examiner of this morning are as jollows: Women were there who would have turned the thumb on the gladiators of the Roman arena, and the ragtag of the lobby, the off- scourings of all social conditions, were leagued in evidence, tier on licr. In another part of the article the de- cent people of Sacramento who applauded Senator Morehouse’s stinging castigation of the libelous rascals are abused as fol- lows with the pen of a fishwife: To be sure he won some applause from the lobby, but there mever yet was G whipped | scoundrel who appealed to the delectable gathering who crawl about the Capitol halls who did not find a ready and sympathetic | come down here an hand. These are the terms with which the | convict-labor newspaper brands the honest men and virtuous women of Sacramento | who dared to applaud a Senator’s denun- ciation of blackmailers and thugs. Like & mad dog, foaming at the moutr, gnash- ing its teeth and snarling and snapping at every one on the road, the Examiner ran amuck in Sacramento yesterday, and was checked by running into the netof the The quaiity and quantity of the Exam- iner's unpopularity were iilustrated last night, and are being illustrated to-day by the handshakings tbat were indulged in and by thecongratuiations which are being exchanged between business men on the official condemnation of the ex-organ of Southern Pacific boodle. “Will this denunciation by the highest legislative tribunal in the State cause the Examiner to be a little less obscene, a I tle less mendacious, a little less scurrii- ous?” was the question-generally asked last night, and the reply came this morn- ing with the arrival of whose columns reeked with abuse and lies. True to its instincts of robbing 1ts news- boys, as it bas robbed and does rob its space-writers and reporters, the Examiner foresaw yesterday that there would possi- ly be a demand for copies of the sheet this morning to see what it would say about 1ts own condemnation and raised its price a cent or so on the newsboys. Millionaire Hearst needed a cent or a half cent more on the price of the hundred copies of the paper which were circulated the Examiner, | | | i | | | | in the capital to-day and he tried to take | it out of the sweat of the poor boys, who, unable to obtain any other employment, earn a precarious livelinood by selling newspapers on the streets. But the boys were spirited in their pov- erty and refused to pay the robber toll, and the result was that the Examiner re- earned much more than their usual wage by selling THE CALL. The Assembly committee resumed its inquiry this morning and rigorously ex- amined members of the Assemoiy on the lines already stated in THE CALL as to whether they knew of eny bribery or had | ever heard of any; whether they had re- | ceived any writings or telegrams with | | [ | mained in the bookstores, while the boys | | | cessity of having his case tr the time the bill came up in the Hoase’ butif he had been there he would have voted for it. Before the bill came up he had asked a liquor-dealer in San Francisco, an inti- mate friend of his, whether the liquor men wanted the bl passed, and he re- ceivea a dispatch informing him that his iriend was not inierested in the matter. Attorney Clunie, representing the Exe aminer, apologized to nearly all the wit- nesses for the insinuations contained in the libel. Thus, after Power of Placer had concluded bis testimony, Clunie said; “Mr. Power, the Examiner never intended to intimate in any manner that you had done anything improper in regard to this bill.” Assemblyman Valentine remarked that the Examiner was not giving the apology as much publicity as it had given the libel. “Why have you not apologized for the Exeaminer 1o the San Francisco delega- tion?"’ asked Mr. Valentine. Mr. Clunie declined to make any expla- nation af the implied slur on the San Francisco delegation. ‘When Assemblyman McGrath took the witness-stand he said, “Mr. Clunie used to work for me and be ought to known me.’’ “Yes,” saii Clunie with a shert, dry laugh, “I got him out. That’s all right.” After the examination of Mr. McGrath had been concluded Mr. Clunie asked, “Well, Mr. McGrath, 1f you knew of any Assemblyman being bribed you wouldn’t tell it, would you?” o, sir,” replied McGrath. Then Mr. Clunie laughed the dry laugh again. The committee finished the list of As- semblymen without having found one to corroborate the testimony of Levings that Lie had received some of his information concerning the charges of bribery from members of the Assembly. Speaker Coombs was the only witness before the Assembly who admitted that he had spoken with an Examiner reporter regarding the rumors of bribery in con- nection with Assembly bill No. 273. Levings of the Examiner came to him | on the ovening before the libel appearsd in that paper and asked him as to what parliamentary procedure sbould be ob- served in getting bill 273 back from the Governor. In response to a question by the com- mittee Mr. Coombs said that he had heard of rumors of bribery after the bill had passed, but that he had not said anything to Mr. Levings to the effect tbat such rumors existed. The committee adjourned until 2 ». a. to-morrow. gy BILL 273 VETOED. Governor Budd Points Out Alleged Defects In the Famous Measure. SACRAMENTO, Car., March 10.—Gov- ernor Budd to-day sent a message to the Assembly vetoing Assembly bill 273, out of the passage of which grew the charges by the Examiner of bribery. In his mes- sage the Governor says: Acts which provide for the dizqualification of a prejudiced or biased Judge are in opera- | tion in other States, and any proper legisla tion which will relieve = litigant irom the ne- d before & Judge who is biased or prejudiced against him, or who has a fixed opinion on the case, is desir- sble and praiseworthy. A statute having for its purpose such relief siready exists as to Justices' courts, but the fact of the limited jurisdiction of such courts and the fact that & new trial on appeal can always be had in the Superior Court makes regulations which are beneficial fn the limited territorial jurisdiction of Justices’ courts in- expedient and dangerous in Superior courts. A careful scrutiny of the terms of bill No. 73 has led me to believe that in its present torm it should not become law. While decisions are unmerous holding that | when the expression “when it appears” oceurs inalaw of this kind it is construed as requir- ing an allegation of facts, not opinons, con- clusions or hearsay, yct the provision con- tained in the bill. “that he does believe,” may modity these decisions to such an extent that such belief may be sufficient to cause the dis- qualiccation of 8 Judge, which the introducer from his statement says was not, his intention, And the words “adjoining county” should read *‘another county.” 1t is not definite enough as to the afidavit upon which it is sought to disqually the any newspaper reporter or any one else any information on which the Examiner charges were based. The object of the last question was to ascertain whether there was auy truth in the testimony of Reporter Levings to the effect that he had received some informa- tion as to bribery from members of the | Legislatore. Thus far no member has| said that he gave the reporter ar any one | else such informaticn, Should all the reference to the bill, or whether thev gave l‘ | | the Gowernor desires. It has passed the Assembly and is now in the Senate. e SP-CTATOR> APPROVED. Inspiring Scene In the Senate Chamber While Morehouse Was Speak!ng. SAN JOSE, Car, March 10.—Justice William H. Dwyer, a prominent Demo- crat of this cit, returned from Sacra- mento this morning, and gave a spirited description of the scene in the Siate Sen- ate on Tuesday morning during the pro- ceedings incident to the charges of bribery made by the San Francisco Examiner. “‘Senator Morehouse is not of my po- liticai faith,’” said Justice Dwyer, “but he is pre-eminently the maa most talked about and most admired by all the peopie about the Leuislature at this time, and the manner in which he hasconducted the investigation of charges by the Ex- aminer has won for him the indorsement of all, irrespective of political parties. **The scene in the Senate chamber yes- terday morning was inspiring. The chamber was crowded and Mcrehouse captured the almost breathless attention of the vast crowd the moment he arose to reply to the argument offered by Attorney George A. Knight in behalf of the Ex- aminer correspondents, and he held it without effort until the close of his re- marks. The crowd seemed swayed by his every word, and during his pauses not a sound could be heard except his voice. “The great crowd was with him and drank in his eloquence as if undera hyp- noticspell. The speaker was in n « man- ner personal and directed his remarks solely in defense of his aseociates and de- nunciation of their calumniators; but the personality of the man, his powerful force of expression, made him the idol of the hour, and when occasion offered the rules of the Senate or the commands of the Sergeant-at-Arms could not prevent both men and women from rising ina mass, cheering and waving hats and handkerchieis as an expression of their enthusiasm. “The proceedings are causing the most intense interest in every circle in Sacra- mento. Everybody denounces the Exam- mer and its men for their apparently un- warranted and malicious attacks, and is wholly in accord with Senator Morehouse 1n his war upon their slanderer.” IN A HEAT=D DEBATE. Assemb'ymen Grow Bitter In Dis- cussing Agricultural District Debts. SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 10.—Senate bill 90, appropriatine $75,000 to pay the debts of agricultural dis'rict associations, | was the subject of a heated debate in the Assembly this evening. The life had been taken out of it last night by the amputa- tion of the enacting clause, but it was resuscitated by a motion to reconsider, and the sticklers for economy immediate- ly set about clubbing out its brains, Shanahan led the supporters of the bill in advocating its merits, and the challenge was responded to by Valentine of Los Angeles,who read the law on the indebted- ness of agricultural association< and other corporations and the duty of the State regarding the same. The debts of the agriculturai associations were, under {he iaw, personal obligations of the directors of the varicus districis. He understood that the bill wouid fit the majority of the cases if the appropriation were cut down to about $6000. Certain parties haa be- come responsible for the debts, They were private, personal debts and were not claims avainst the State. “Tue gentleman from Shasta,” tinued Mr. Valentine, con- “‘has talked for | twenty-four hours, at a cost to th State 0f 3200 per hour, in order to save the pay- | ment of $5 salary to some poor attache, and now he is tiying to induce us to pay the debts of those directors, that we have no more obligation to pay than we have to pay the debis of the genileman from Snasta. I bope you will not commit this ereat blunder, this criminal waste of the rioney of the taxpayers in the payment of private debts.” Shanahan gozed in open-mouthed as- tonishment at the rash man from the citrus belt and rose to reply, but he was rapped down by the Speaker, on the ground that the previous question had been ordered on the motion to strike out the enacting clause. “Never mind,” he said, “I'll reply to him some other time.” Valentine_s-emed equally astonished, members answer to the same effect, and | JUdge.

Superintendent Jaynes of the Western Union Telegraph Company appeared be- fore the committee to-iay and replied that he had made diligent search for tele- grams addressed to or sent by Senator Voorheis and had been unable to find any. Assemblyman Bettman, one of the Ex- aminer’s warmest friends, swore that he had been inlormed that Georze W.

In fact it is just such a bill as soried to atso late a stage of the proceedings hat great expense to litigants and incon- venience to witaesses, courts and jurymen would result. After conferring with the futroducer of this bill and other members they concluded that a new bill could be passed, which wouid be free | from the objections to which bill 273 was open. and which would at §he samo time per- mita litigant to legally object to a prejudiced and bissed Judge. I understand thstsucha bill hes since been introduced and passed by your honorsble body and is now pending be- | Tore the Senate. also. Mr. Valentine seemed to be una- ware that he had done a thing to Mr. | Shanaban. McClellan hoped that no such iniquitous legi lation should pass. “‘Who are the presidents of these agn- | enltural di_trict associations?” demanded Keegan. “Who are they that we are asked to make this appropration? They are a lot of men we don’t know, who are coming in to ciaim this §75,000. 1f anybody has a bill against the State let him bring in his bill and ask us to pay it.”” The motion to strike out was defeated by a vole of 33 to 28, and the bill was placed at the font of the spacia Senate file The horse, when browsing, is guided entirely by the nosirils in the ch ice of proper food, and blind horses are never kuoown to make mistakes in their diet. fq A g o\ M = AP Agios Viases Quie / _”«,IE:_- 3 HERAKLIO. or CAN DIA ¥ Vicenity Comm, Munlfist\‘r’tc(’;:.au___ o, = iz = 3.

Why He Does Not Favor the Proposed Hospital - Site Enactment. Its Passage Would Cost the City of San Francisco From §50,000 to $75,000. - BACRAMENTO, Car., March 10.—“My experience as a member of the Committee on Corporations,” said "Assemblyman Leon E. Jones of Ban Francisco, ‘‘has opened my eyes to the existence of a large number.of cinch bills directed against cors porations. These bills are unjust because they demand unreasonable things and are introduced for the purpose of harassing and annoying the corporations at which they are aimed. I have always opposed and always will oppose such bills. “Tne Committee on Corporations, of which 1 am a member,” added M- Jones, the first commission that the railroad | eould not control. Smith, speaking for the bill, said that the fi_ht should be carried to a fin sh or a constitutional amendment aoolishing the commission submitted to the people. Gilleite offered an amendment reducing the claims to $6000 eac, which was lost. The bill was finally passed by a vote of 21 ayes to 14 noes, e ASSEMBLY ROUTINE. Blll for Additional Improvements at Whittler ool Is Pass=d. SACRAMENTO, Car., March 10,—The Assembly to-day adopted a resolution for the adjournment of boih houses of the Legislature at noon on March 20. T.e res- olution was immediately sent to the Sen- ate, where it was concurred in. A bill was introduced appropriating $5000, or as much o: that sum as may be necessary, to pay the expenses of th in- vestigation into the affairs of the State Printing Office. The Assembly this aiterncon passed An- drous’ Senate bill providing for additiona! improvements at the Whittier State Echool; also Assembly bilis as foll .w: Muicrevy’s, for the relief of Charles F. Wells, appropriating money therefor; North’s, es ablishing the eesof county, township an! other officers, jurors and witnesses. The county goverament bill, as amended, was sent to print. The followine Senate bills were passed in the Assembly to-night; Holloway— Providing for the fencing and improve- ment of the farm property and t king care of ihe grounds at the Caiifornia Home for Feeble-minded Children, making an ap- propriation of $3500 therefor. La Rue— Prohibiting the adulteration of wine, pro- viding the penaity thereforand apyropriat- ing $5000 for the enforcement of the act. As-embly bills were passed: Mak- ing directors of and stockholders in cor- porations liable for ihe actions of the cor- poration for more than three years; per- mitting religious, social and benevolent b i \‘-I“\VT” R ‘\ A )/ ASSEMBLYMAN 1EON E. JONES OF SAN FRANCISCO. “reported favorably upon and materially | assisted in the passage of a bill ailowing the City and County of San Francisco to levy a tax for the purpose of buildinga | new County Hospital. We are now pay- ing some attention to a bill which has passed the ‘Senate and, which is now on the Senate special file\in the Assembly. The bill was inspired by and is being pushed by Adolph Sutro. It prohibits any hospital, etc., from being erected within 3000 feet of any stream, lake or reservoir. The measure is intended to prevent the building of the new City and County Hospital in the vicinity of the Almshouse and & tract of 14nd owned by Sutro. “If the bill should pass the House and receive approval of the Governor it would nece sitate the expenditure ot from $30,- 000 to $75,000 for the purchase of a new site. The site near the Almshouse is a fine one for the hospital. The ground is high and the drainage is excellent. _ “I'have always worked industriously on all the committees of which I have had the honor to be a member and I spare no pains to familiarize myself with the de- tails and the objects of each bill that comes before us. When the Legislature shall have finished its labors and ad- journed and the smoke of pariisan issues has blown away, I am confident that the people will be thankful to the Republican majority in the Assemb!y for the good work which it has done.” IN THE UPP:ER HOUSE, Senators Agree With the Assembly Proposal to Acjourn on March 20. SACRAMENTO, Car., March 10.—As soon as the Senate received the message from the Assembly agreeing to adjourn on the 20th at noon the Assembly mes- sage was taken up and a resolution was carried without debate, 80 it is now set- tled that adjournment wiil be taken at that time. Immediately afterward the Assembly resolution suspending the joint rules— especially the twelve-day rule—was car- ried. Friction is at an end, and from this time on both houses will be busy day and night. The Serate this afternoon pascsed as amended Astembly bills providing for the burial of ex-Union soldiers and marines who mny hereaiter die in the State with- out sufficient meansto defray funeral ex- penses, reiating to th- construction of bridges across ditches and across high- wavas. The bill authorizing boards of health gf municipalities to subpena and compel the attendance of witnesses was lost, Simp- %on giving notice of a motion to recon- sider. Morehouse’s bill enabling insur- ance companies to loan money to volicy-holders on policies was also lost, Voorheis giving notice of motion to re- consider. Most of the evening in the Senate wa spent in purging the files of duplica bills. About tnirty Senate bills were ex- ponged from the files, and Assembly duplicate bills which have passed the House were put in their place. Ouly on Ei‘l was considered on final passige—that making an appropriation of $20,000 to pay the aitorney fees of Robert Y Hiyne and W. W. Foote, amounting 10 $10,000 each, for services asspecial coun- sel in the case of the Southern Pucific against the Board of Railroad Commis- sioners, During the ar ument Morehouse stated that the action was known to be useiess before the trial of the case, but he favored the pavment of the attorney fees because the services had been rendered. Braunhart denied this, stating that the i case at least demonstrated that this was associations to incorporate and hold more than wenty acres of land; eonstituting the State Board of Examiners a Stale Board of Lunacy Commission for the commitment of insane persons and for the examination of institutions for the care of the insane. The Ho: had another fight over the suifrage question. The constitutional amendment lost last night was taken up 1or reconsideration. A motion by North to lay 11 e matter on the table indefinitely was lost, a3 was a motion to makeit a special order for to-morrow. After con- siderable wrangling a motion to adjourn was put and carried, and the resolution will come up as unfinished business in the morning. ———— WOULD WORK A HARDSHIP Protest Against the Bill Extending the Power of the Board of Health. SACRAMENTO, CAvn, March 10.—Con- siderable opposition is being manifested to the passage of the Assembly bill which is intended to giva county boards of health the power to subpena witnesses and compel them to produce their books and papers for examination. It is claimed by the wholesals butchers, dairymen and stockraisers that the meas- ure will serve no good purpose for the public at large, and that it will only work severe and unjust hardsh:ps on those en- gaged in these lines of business. The views of these men, as expressed by a ivmmlnenl wholesale butcher, are as fol- ows: “We are opposed o the bill for the rea- son that it would give boards of health power to inquire into the private business affairs of those aganst whom it is evi- dently directed, through the inspectors who are appoinied by tiie boards of health, for political purposes. “I say for poiitical purposes, as no man of ability and the requisite experience, counsidering the fact that the salary isonly $75 a month, could be found to perform tne daties of the poition. “This would leave the parties engaged in these industriestat the mercy of the boards, for any inspector could subpena them to appear beiore the board and com- pel th-m to brinz books and apers. And the mere fict that any butcher’s or dairy- man’s conduct and business in San Fran- ci-co—whether he was carrying on a legiti- mate business or not—was under investi- gation would injure him to serious extent on account of the notoriety con- nected with it. “Weare in favor of the law as it stands now, for it gives the Boa d of Health or any other citizen ample power to subpena and arrest any person who has not carried on the business in accordance with the pure 0od l.ws already adopied. As the law is now they can arrest anybody and bring him before a Police Court to be tried. *‘What these boards of health want is to try these parties twice for one offense— fi's' to bring them before the Board of Healih and when in the judzment of the Board of Healtu they are guilty, it will be compe led to swear to a complaint charg- ing these men with the oifense and bring the matter up in the Police Court. “The butchers, dairymen and stock- raisers do not think it is just that they should be selected out of the many Kinds of infustries that are conducting a busi- ness in 8an Francisco aud be compelled to practicaily app:ar before two courts in- s.ead of one.” — Ex miners Approve Dibble’s Bill. SACRAMENTO, Can, March 10.—The ten aays’ limit within which the Governor conld approve of Dibbie’s bill appropriat- ing $35.000 for the support of the printing office expired to-day withnut any action having been taken by the Executive. At a meetin: of the Board of Kxaminers this ;ncr‘;noon the bill was approved by the oard. ———— ADVANCES made on furnliure and pianos, with or withous removal. J, Noonan, 1017-1028 Mission. SCOVEL QUT OF A CUBAN PRISON Released Upon the Appeal of His Father for Mercy. Zeal in Serving His Paper Is Pleaded in Eehalf of the Son. It Is Said the Young Man Will Not Accept Freedom on the Con- ditions Imposed. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 10.—The State Department has received 2 cable message from Consul-General Lee at Havana announcing that the New York corresjondent Scovel was released to-day. CHICAGO, IrL., Murch 10.—A special to the Daily News from Washinzton says The news that the Queen of Spain has o dered the release of Sylivester Scovel, cor- respondent of a New York newspaper, who isin a Cuban prison, creates much in- terest, The release was made on the petition of Scovel’s father. He requested the release *cn the ground of mercy, not of justice.” The father of the correspondent made a touching application to the Spanish Min- ister, and attributed his son’s action to his zeal to serve his newspaper and not to | a desire to aid the insurgent~’ cause. | The Spanish authoritis refused to have re release made through the ordinary lomatic way because they did not want a record made of it in the State De- rartment as a precedent. Tbhe Spanish Minister, on receipt of the letter from Scovel’s father, indorsed it and forwarded it to the Queen, who ordered his release. It is reported here to-day that Scovel will refuse to accept the release on the conditions imposed by the Spanish Gov- ernment. This information comes from the newspaper which employed the cor- respondent. If Scovel maintains this at- titnde the Spanish Minister intimates that he will take no further interest in the case. —_—— THE PHILIPPINE REVOLT. Rebels Becaming Lolder and More Vigor- owus in c'ion. MADRID, Spary, March 10. — A dis- patch from Manila, capital of the Philip- pine Islands, to the Imparcial says tha the situation there is very unsatisfactory and that it would be necessary for Spanish troops to occupy the entire island in order to comp etely crush the rebellion. The rebels are becoming bolder and more vigorous in their action, and the ap- proaching rainy season will still further hamper the operations of the troops. General Polevieja, Captain-General of the islands, will stortly return to Spain, his bealth having become impaired and bis ailments greatly ageravated by the care and worrimentof his being hampered in his operations by the Government. It is feared at Maniia that the war in the Philippine Islands is worse than in Cuba. PR Morements of the Bermuda.
