VAGRANT BILL SENT TO THIRD READING! foregoing CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA- 0, Feb. 4.—Senator Nutt's bill, de- ving the right of trial by jury to .vag- and others charged with petty of-| ses, came up to-day as a special order | the Senate. i in Senator Curtin claimed.that he had nD(! intended to speak upon the bill, but the | remarks which had been made upon the proposed new law forced him to oppose the proposition to deny the right of trial | by jury to any citizen of . the a | States, be his position in life howsoever | humble. | Senator Doty in speaking in opposition | to the bill stated that he had had an ex perience of his own.

They tell us that uniess the bill s ed the investment of capital in the State will be absolutely estopped. ““Yet, here a bill is proposed that takes away from a few of our citizens who are unfortunate and have neither money nor friends, the right of trial by jury. To pass this law_would put = stigma upon 1)wi State, and I am unalterably opposed to it.” In his speech Senator Doty referred to Benator Boyce of Santa Barbara. serted that he had made a campalgn in which he had claimed that any matter coming up concerning the general wel- fare of the workingmen he would favor. Yet he now came in the Senate and fa- vored the adoption of a bill which would deny to some workingmen the right of | trial by jury. Senator Boyce turned on Senator Doty and said: ‘“The gentleman comes hers and says that In my campaign 1 went through my district and patted the labor- ing man on the back.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 4—There was scarcely a quorum, on the floor of the Assembly chamber this morning when it came time to do busin, and the second reading which taken up vesterday but not completed, was made the business of the morning. Of course, the regular introduction of bills was in order, and eleven of them were introduced, but few of them were of more than passing interest. The joint ballot for Senator was the only occur- rence to break the monotony, and that Wwas as monotonous as everything else. The only unusual departure that came to re- lieve the strain was that Valentine of Los Angeles moved adjournment to Monday morning instead of Dibble of San Fran- cisc: Assemblyman Melick, chairman of the Committee on Counties and County Gov- ernment, announced that the county gov- ernment’ bill was ready for action and requested that every one' who had an amendment would submit it to the com- mittee. Dibble thought that all of the amendments should be offered in the House in the shape of one bill. Johnson disagreed with him, and sald that each amendment should be offered as a sep- arate bill, but Speaker Anderson declared his point not well taken, and Dibble made his suggestion a motion, and it was car- ried. v e Senator Taylor Hunts Bugs. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 4.—Senator Taylor of Ala- meda has been devoting his time of late to the study of entomology. Those in- troducing bills with some little bug hid- den away come before the Senate Com- mittee on Municipal Corporations, of which vlor is chairman, and the Ju- dicjary Committee, of which he is also 2 member, with fear and trembling, for the first thing the entomologist does is to issect the bill in search jof the hidden in- sect and it is invariably found. The sheep men of the south endeavored to insert one of those elusive insects in a bill intro- duced lately regarding the tax on sheep traveling from the valley to the hills or over county roads anywhere in sheep grazing localities. The tax heretofore has been 5 cents per head, but by the text of the bill the innocent word “two" is in- erted in the place of “five.” When the measure tomes before the Judiciary Com- | mittee the early part of next week it will probably be Killed, much to the disap- pointment of the sheep men. F ik Judiciary Bills Reported. CALL . HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- | MENTO, Feb. 4—The Senate Judiciary Committee this afternoon sat in judgment | on- the following bills, which it reported | favorably upon, after making slight tech- | nical amendments: Bill 352, relating to the filing of articles of incorporation with the County Clerk and Secretary of State and the issuance of certificate, and also the effect of such certificate; biil 392, amending section 487 of the Penal Code, and bill 404, amending section 422 and to re[‘vlofll section 3837, both of the Political Code. 3, ——— To Protect Public Libraries. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. {4—The State Library Committee introduced a bill In the As- | sembly yesterday which is designed to assure better protection to public libraries. It provides that any person who shall destroy or cut or deface any book, chart, work of art or any mechan- ical appliance, or any curlosity, in a library, shall be guilty of a misdémeanor if the value of the article injured or de- stroyed be not in excess of $50. When the article is in excess of that amount the charge is increased to felony. The Committee on Roads and Highways | offered a substitute bill for Melick’s biils 48, 129 and 201 relative to the width of tires on wagons. The objection made to Mr. Melick’s bills was that on mountain roads only narrow tires are safe, and this | has been remedied by a clause-a the new bill which provides that on roads of an altitude of 1000 feet or over the law shall not operate. It also extends the time be- fore the law goes into effect to 1902, and makes violation of the law a misde- meanor. ot : Senator Feeney Wants Luxuries. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACR MENTO, Feb. 4—Senator Feeney desires to have the Senate and Assembly cham- bers furnished and refitted with car- pets, draperles and desks, and for this purpose he has introduced in the Senate a bill appropriating $15,000 for the pur- pose. Senator Feeney has also introduced a bill authorizing the Secretary of State to spend $7600 in boring a well on the Cap- itol grounds and in putting up a stand- pipe to distribue the water. To Help Out Cobb. | CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 4.—Senator Langford has introduced a bill in the Senate to re- pay Frank D. Cobb $4227, which he had pald out as ‘premium: d by the Stockton District Agr 1 Society. The last Legislature made an appropria- tion to pay the premiums, but Governor Budd vetoed the bill MARIE CORELLI'S BOOK CAUSED BREACF OF PROMISE | After Reading “Murder of Delicia” Mr. Earl Broke Engagement and Had to Pay Damages.

The vote was taken to-day for no other apparent reason than that it had to be. That it was to be the same old thing was a foregone conclusion, and the one object was to get it over and catch the next train home. The vote was as follows: BARNES ..

Representative de Vries has received a license. The cases against a number of the women arrested on vagrancy charges were dismissed upon the promises that they would leave their present quarters and not return. The District Attorney says that whether he can secure a conviction or not, he will cause arrests and re-arrests, entailing on the obstinate offenders never-ending at- torney’s fees and bail money until they shall be glad to remove themselves from the forbidden district. The element that is fighting the District Attorney has threatened to fill the va- cated houses with Chineése from San Francisco. Agpllcution has been made to the Chinese Consul in San Francisco to invoke protection from Washington for the Celestials that may be imported. This is deemed necessary because Redding was one of the three towns in California that €xpelled their Chinese population about thirteen years ago. From that day to this Chinese have not found lodgment in the town. Trouble is feared should the effort to colonize the tenderloin with Celestials be persisted in. - WALCOTT THE WINNER. Knocks Out ‘Australian Jimmy” Ryan in Fourteen Rounds. CINCINNATI, Feb. 4.—The largest the boxing contest at the Stag Athletic Club arena here to-night. The main at- tralian Jimmy” Ryan and Joe Walcott, “the black demon,” at cateh weights, for a purse of $1500. Tom O'Rourke was Wal- cott’s chief adviser and second. John Mur- phy of Cincinnati was referee. Walcptt was the aggressor during the entire “contest, Ryan continually clinch- ing. The contest was tame, as Ryan lafd back for a knockout with his right. In the | fourteenth round both men rushed at each other and landed hard body blows with .the right. In the break-away Walcott landed a hard left swing on Rya | flooring him. Ryan took nine seconds of the count and upon arising rushed to a clinch. Walcott pushed him from- him and, swinging a hard left, landed on the jaw and again sent Ryan to the floor. The s chin, o A PAIR THAT PAIRED ON UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP. | courting with more or less impetuosity Marian Field for seven years, de- cided the lady was too quiet for him, and fearing, as he said, disagreement after marriage, proceeded to break the engagement. This he did in an ingenious | manner in a letter. He wrote: ‘I have | been reading a book this week, ‘dMurder | of Delicia,’ In which the heroine dies of a broken heart through her husband tir- ing of her.” Whether Miss Field knew Marie Corelli or not, she certainly did not take kindly to the faithful swain's dainty method of getting rid of her and promptly entered a suit for £300 damages. In the same letter Mr. Earl wrote: ‘“Heaven knows my punishment is quite enough,” referring to the broken engagement, but the jury disagreed with him and -added £75 to the burden he had to bear. o PENSION FOR PALMER. The Veteran Office Holder to Get Fifty Dollars a Month. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—The House Committee on Invalid Pensions to-day re- ported favorably the Senate bill pension- ing General John M. Palmer of Illinois, the amount being reduced from $100 to $50. The report says of General Palme “Nearly always an officeholder and al- ways strictly honest, 'he finds himself now, in his seventy-second vear, retired to private life without means of income broken in health, blind in one eye an rapidly losing the sight of the other.” he report then refers to Mr. Paimer's service at the head of the Senate Pension Committee, his liberal treatment of the old soldiers and yet his opposition to ‘large sentimental pensions, based on social position and political pull.” " Under_such circumstances, the report states, $50 per month is all that General Palmer himself will approve. Accom- p;n ing the report are letters and affi- ddvits showing General Palmer’s feeble condition. 2 OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Important Amendments to the River and Harbor Bill. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—Senator Per- kins to-day introduced the following amendments to the river and harbor bill: For improvement of harbor at Wilming- ton, Cal., in accordance with recommen- dations of army engineers, and appro- priating $342,000 therefor. Also authoriz- ing the Secretary of the Navy to examine and locate a proper site for a naval coal- ing and repair station in California, south of San Francisco, as recommended by the Chlef of Bureau of Yards and Docks, and appropriating $2000 to carry it into effect. Senator “Perkins also introduced an amendment to the naval appropriation bill, authorizing the Secretary of the letter from Admiral McNair, commandant of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, in- forming him that Cadet Kerrick of Cali- fornia will be retained at the academy. Pensions have been granted as follows: California: Original—Ariel Pixley, Sacra- mento, $8; Harvey Potter, Riverside, $6; Charles D. Goold, Los Angeles, $6; James R. Warren, Simi, $6. Renewal—Willlam Denno, Campbell, $8. Increase—Joseph H. Harper, San Diego, $18 to $24. Relssue— Alexander William Corbett, Coronado, $8. Oiflg“ml widow, ete.—Lucy B. Ward, Ban- ning, BISHOP SANTANDER VIGOROUSLY OBJECTS v Does Not Approve of the Plan to Es- tablish American Sisters of Charity in Cuba. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—A dispatch to the Mail and'Express from Havana says: Rev. Dr. Craft arrived here Wednesday with a letter of recommendation from the friends of Archbishop Ireland and General O'Beirne to Bishop Santander. His object was to try to make some arrangements to establish American Sisters of Charity, Jjoining the Spanish nuns. Dr. Craft took ains to inform the Spaniards of the riendship which the American Roman Catholics felt for their brethren in Cuba. To his great surprise, the Americans were badly received. The Bishop is supposed to have insuited him by almfilng improper motives for his mission. e is said to have abused his visitor in the worst pos- sible manner, and they finally separated by.mutual consent. The Bishop is believed to have been in- stigated by fear that the Americans would gain control of the church in Cuba. It is said that the American delegate will ap- peal to Rome. PURGING REDDING OF ITS TERDERLOIN District Attorney Dozier of Shasta County Institutes a Re- . form Move. REDDING, Feb. 4.—District Attorney Thomas B. Dozier has spread dismay in the tenderloin district of this town by an- nouncing his determination to clear the quarter of its denizens. The district is almost in the heart of the town, directly in the pathway of pupils going to and from the public schools. A raid was made on the district and all of the residents placed under arrest, either on charges of vagrancy or for selling liquor without a latter got to a sitting position, but the referee, seeing he was helpless, stopped the contest and awarded the decision to Walcott. NEW SPECIES OF FISHES AND REPTILES Stanford Univern’ityineceives a Valu- able Collection From South- ern Mexico. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 4.— J. O. Snyder, instructor in zoology, re- | turned from Mexico yesterday with one of | the most desirable collections @f fishes |"and reptiles that the university has ever recelved. During most of his six weeks’ tour Mr. Snyder was accompanied by Dr. | Jordan, Together they fished in a number | ‘of ‘streams which had never before been | visited by any naturalist. They were re- | warded by finding a great number of rare specimens and at least seven kinds of fish that are entirely new to science. | The new species have not yet been stud- ied. They will be classified at once. Among them is a large catfish belonging to a new type. It is a style of fish that was not supposed to exist. Another of the new types is a small minnow with a bright red belly. It was found farther | south than any minnow known. Two of the unclassified fishes belong to the sun- fish variety. . Another is similar to the goby, but is -an entirely unfamiliar type. The collection contains over 150 valu- ble specimens. The fish were caught { with a seine for the most part in the rivers that flow toward the two oceans. ‘Some were got from the lakes, notably Lake Chapala, the largest fresh water | lake in Mexico. The River Ixtla, which | is one of the streams flew to scientific collectors, furnished many of the most valuable specimens. > The chief reason that makes the fishes obtained by this tour of peculiar value to the zoologist is in the fact that South- | ern Mexico represents the curious meet- |ing place of the South American and | North American varieties. | Mr. Snyder has already gone to work to prepare and study this valuable addi- tion to the zoology museum, so that a classification can be made at once for the varieties new to science. — MANY FLYING MACHINES. !Washington' Board ‘of Ordnance Deluged With Offers.
