Men here on the ground who ave fa- miliar with the facts of the situation know that Mr. Grant has announced his willingness to step aside and permit the | election of ‘a Senator = provided - that 3urns shall pursue the same course. : Grant, as badly as he needs a vindi-| cation of his own course, is not so self- ish and insoient as to demand it at the s¢ of California's representation nate of the United. States. 1f Burns had any idea of loyalty to the Republican party of any sense of grati- tude for the favors bestowed upon hin- | self and Mose Gunst by a Republican | Governor he would withdraw from “‘he race and permit the election of a Sen- | ator. The plans of the raflroad corporation d the railroad press are-to be directed his week to the manufacture of public sentiment throughout the State in fa- )r of a caucus, so that Dan Burns may vindicated. " So far as returns Lave -en received, the people aré almost unanimous in proclaiming that no- Sen- ator at all would be better than Eurns @s Senatar. As soon as the Record- a lin, defined of the campaign are Huntington and Herrin a one side and the was thrown now e oD eople of California on the other. Every ballot for Sznator from this time until the close of the Senatorial contest will be studied by the voters of California to see whether | the membe s of the Legislature oad. are GENERAL W. H. L. The first ballot in joint assembly to- morrow may disciose a few changes. Senator Rowell of Fresno, who has been voting for Thomas Bard of Ven- tura, may hereafter cast a few ballots for Senator Bulla, but the change will | not signify a_determination upon the part.of the Fresno Senator to abide permanently in the Bulla camp. Sena- | torial courtesy and sympathetic rea- sons of a personal nature may impel Dr. Rowell to- this change of base. A strong effort: has been made to induce Senator Stratton to vote several times for his brother Senatdr from Los An- geles: These . vigorous efforts to rein- force Mr. Bula are désigned to coun- teract a movement from Los Angales to abandon the:cause of Bulla and enter the Grant camp. Senator .Simpson has received. more than' fifty telegrams during - the -past week in- which' the sentiment pressed that he has now is*- ex- fully dis- charged his obligations to Mr. Bulla. and. should hereafter vote for Grant. 1t is believed that Senator Simpson will, when he leav It would be no surprise if Sen- ator:-Rowell. would decide column. Bulla, join the Barnes to support General Barnes after paying. Senator Bulla: the compliment of a few Vvotes. In conversation to-day -Senator Row- ell said he did not make a secret of his inténtion "to cast some. votes for Senator Bulla. Los Angeles telegrams in great num- | bers may be expected for several davs. The Grant forces have . serit a man down_there to get Up messages to in- duce the pulla men to break to Grant, dand it is said in the Sepate chamber that Bulla has an opnosing force in. the | fleld that will urge theé Grant men. to support Bulla. The railroad lash wielded.by Hetrin is not commanding the.ready obedience which the big and little touts-in and around the Legislature expected. ‘The ediet of Humtington calling for a cau- cus or party conference of Republicans is likely to be “flatly .disobeyed and openly resented. Members of the Leg- ature who have heard from onstituents have decided to stand. by their the people in this Senatorial struggle. This evening the Grant men are mote by |'confident than ever that Burns cannot any- combine or trick. win ‘out. There is an anpréhension in the Burns camp - that -Grant has some - hidden strength which will be displayed when the break comes, et the touts pro- claim that the San Diego candidate can never succeed to the Senatorship. d The joint ballot to-8ay was devoid of significance. and the “‘colonel” It was the fiftieth ballot, could not muster more than twenty-six votes. The rail- road will allow him' this ‘week and per- | the Senate, ATORS. haps next week to make a showing of strength; hence it may be expected that Burns will redouble his energies to bring into his camp every voter that can be tricked, cajoled or coerced into the caucus scheme. The Senatorial situation is very dis- tressing to the “medicine men” in the Legislature. They know that Grant has more than a barrel of money and that Burns has a mine, and they know also that detectives are so closely watching the foremost candidates that neither dares spend a dollar to advance his cause. It is a remarkable fact that there is not amanaging agent in the field whose word would be taken on a promise to settle when the Legislature adjourns. THE SENATE NOT READY FOR NIGHT SESSIONS CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—The Senate is willing to work, but the Senators are not quite ready for night sessions. The night ses- sions were to have begun this evening, | but by vote of the Senate the report of the Committee on Rules was amended to set the first night session next Thurs- day. Then to expedite the considera- tion of important measures the motion of Senator Boyce that when a bill is with- drawn by the author he may with the consent of the Senate substitute another of his own bills on the same file, advanc- ing it to'the piace held by the bill with- drawn, was passed. This will enable members who have important measures far down on the file to bring them to con- sideration within a day. Senator Simpson has introduced a bill which contains a pill for the gas com- pany, one the people have long wished to-administer. In his bill Senator Simp- son provides that no gas company shall BARNES AND HIS require -or receive a deposit of amount for the putting in of a meter, 1 is -provided, further, however, that the company may require a deposit of 3250 from consumers living in -houses contains ing ten or fewer gas jets and $5 for houses { with_more than ten gas jets, the: deposit however, is to g0 on the gas account and the company cannot take out the meter or. shut off the gas so long as there is a balance of this deposit in the hands of the company. The anti-advertising message of - the Gavernor has been bearing' a flourishing | erop -of- bills, each including the account of some paper which printed constitu- tional- @nendrments, it now appears, for. their own amusement.’ 4 The. . only point of . interest .in the dull day was the request of Senator Short- ridge that a special committee be appoint- ed to consider the numerous claims for advertising that are coming in so blithely in_the form of bills, but Senator Short- ridge was assured there were two news- paper men on the Committee on Finance and Claims, t6 which the bills were ‘all as- signed; and that assurance made Senator Shortridge more composed. He was satis- | fled with the complexion of the commit- tee. - Senator Smith’'s bill for changing the system of registration was read the third time and was finally passed. His bill provides for doing away with the great register and substitutes for it the affida- vits of registration originally signed and sworn to by the voter. The bill provides that these shall be bound and kept in the voting booths and the voters aré to be identjfied by a.comparison of their sig- nature made in the voting booth with the signature on_their affidavit’ and sworn to before the Registrar. In the consideration of Assembly bill 42, a measure to provide vacations for fire- men, there was a disposition shown to al- low municipalities to run their own fire departments, and this was manifested in a miotion to deny the bill a second read- ing. This was lost, however, and the bill was passed to third reading. Assembly bill 308, providin culation of the books in the was finally passed and Senator Simpson ch: rom ‘‘no” to ‘‘aye” and gave notice of a motion to reconsider. ‘Assembly bill 273, providing: for the 1s-f suance of serial° bonds to'cover the cost of street work when it amounts to more 1 | i for the cir- tate Library, FULL VOTE POLLED 'BUT NO CHANGE CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—For the first time in two weeks the leaders in the Senatorial fight to-day polled their full quota of votes. Grant got 28, Burns 26. The ab- sentees were all of them Democrats, so Stephen M. White was the only sufferer. The ballot brought no change. In fact, it was a consideration secondary to that of caucus. Every one on the floor was busy denying that he would go into cau- cus or had ever thought of it. The rollcall as a result was well nigh demoralized, The vote was as follows: PHELAN ‘FARMERS IN REBELLION AGAINST SOLANO. COUNTY CALL A HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—The Committee on County Government from both the S¢nate and Assembly received a delegation of So- lano farmers in.the Semate chamber this evening. The farmers were in epen .re- bellion againgt Solano County, and they wanted to shift the county line down to the south a little .in order- to call Yolo their home. 3 - s Assemblyman Pierce of Yolo had the delegation in tow,.and he it was Who in- troduced each speaker and promptéd and uestioned him’ until- his story was un- | olded to ‘the comritteemen. mainly ‘a matter of bridges. over Putato Creek, the present boundary, are the care\ of both counties, but the farmers said they had not heén’ decently repaired in years and what had been dore to them had been tite work of the farmers themselves or of Yolo Couhty. There are about 200 people who wish ~to transfer their allegiance from Solano to Yolo, and the property to'go with them is a sitip of country from four miles to' a half mile wide, a strip equal to twenty-five miles in length and an average width of two and a les, 35,000 acres, at-an assessed wvaluation of $1,200,000. This last item ex- plains the reluctance of. Solano anli the eagerness of Yolo. here are two channels, to- Putato Creek, one they call the canal and the other the main_channel. Both of these must be kept bridged, or when the water rises in winter there is no getting out or comi; It was than 50 cents a front foot, was passed by,l A in.

After ft[n fierce had spokén a few. words of explanation he started the dele- gation, and nine of them had told their stories before they -could be stopped. The committee will hold the matter in abey- ?ncs until’ Solano County can be-heard. rom. ALAMEDA COUNTY'S OFFICIAL HELP McKeen - Wants to . Change Things by Pleading Hypnotism. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—Assemblyman McKeen admitted this afternoon at the meeting | of the Alameda County -delegation that he was in a trance when by the casting of his vote last Friday evening he cut the number of deputies asked for by J. Cal Ewing, Auditor of Alameda County, from two to one. The admission did not appear to have the desired efféct upon the delegation and apparently did not leave the majority of the members in the least doubt that that very eminent statesman was in a possible temporary or perhaps permanent hypnotic state. ‘When the delegation was called to or- der, McKeen took the floor and stated that he thought he must have been in a trltllnct;. when he voted “no” to the motion allowing Ewing a second de; Had pesninly Intention to vuteq“lat)}‘,é.”'san‘é he was of the impression that he had done so, and that he was still of that imJ)resslon and wanted to have the rec- ords examined. ~This was done and. Mo- Keen found to be recorded as . voting “no.” He then stated that the secre. tary, Assemblyman Kelly, had recorded ELEVEN STANCH it wrong, and wantgd to_Have that: gen-. tleman reprimanded. “Wheri - that was not done, he made a motion -to have the matter reeonsidered, but was informed by Chairman Stratton that:it- would. only be reconsidered by theunanimous’ vete of the aelegation. The matter. went to vote ‘and .Senators Straiton and Taylor and Assemblyman . Knowland ° voted against®it, and Auditor Ewing lost a ‘much needed addition to his .office ‘After some other busihess the cation from Mr. Ewing asking the delega- tion ‘to allow him three extra -clerks dur~ ing the time the Auditor is compelléd to figure the tax rélls.. He stated that by.the present. county government.law he’ was allowed but heretofore exceeded. $1500 . and that as uis salary was none too much it was an jnjus- tice for the ?mt‘e to compe} him to do the work out of his own pocket. ‘A motion was then ‘made to-have the entire allow- ance made the Auditor.at the last -meet- ing: reconsidéred.. so 'that -satisfactory changes could be made in helping Ewine, This was_put- to' vote, and by: Knowland voting -"“no” this was lost.. . The delegation also'todk ‘up.the matter of Sheriff Osciir Rogers, who was granted what he wished at the last rmeeting with. the exception of mileage in the perform- arice of his duties when on civil cases and a .motion was made to have the:matters appertaining to-his -office reconsidered. The delegation was more magnanimous in %ogem’ case than in that of Ewing’s, for the vote was unanimous in favor of reconsideration, and the Sheriff ‘was. al- lowed his mileage in addition to his other re%ues(s. % A d T he matter of the Justices ang - Con- stables also .came up_and the: delegation decided that those officials should be.al- lowed to resume their duties on the same. basis as before with the excéption of the townships’ which McDonaid, '}aylor and Knewland represent. These take in the outside districts. Heretofore the. Justices and Constables have been receiveing their remuneration through'fees collected by them, but now in the outside -districts these officials will receive a salary, the amount of which will be fixed at the next meeting of the delegation on Wednesday evening. / G By the opposition to reconsideration in the Ewing case Senator Leavitt appeared to become nettled, for he made a warm 8] h, in which he sald that as reconsid- eration had been voted down he would vote “‘no” om any other propositien that “Ewing | -|matteragain came up through a communi- and that the expense has | }mlsht come up for reconsideration. | other matters: of which there was some | talk of reconsideration.

LIRS aet i AN ASSEMBLY FIGHT TO RELIEVE WILSON CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—The Assembly did not convene -until ‘a- quartér before 12 this morning, and then only to be ready for the joint ballot. After that was finished recess. was taken to 2 o'clock, when the Senate ‘special file was taken up. The fight of the afternoon was on Diekinson’s Senate bill 151, which relieves ex-Insurance Commissioner J. N. E. Wil- son.and his bondsmen of liability for a shortage of $4063 82 which occurred in his office through the failure of the bank in which the office funds were deposited. The debate was hot for a time, DlEble leading for the bill, and when it came to a vote it ‘won. out by only one better than the con- stitutional majority of 41. Dibble got only 88 votes. for it 'on the first try, but he de- manded a call of the absentees and ran the number up to 40.. Then he demanded a call of the House, and Grovel Johnson of Sacramento. came -over and- so did Lundquist of San Francisco, making him orie vote to the good. known to have won there was a scramble among the noes to change their votes #and get on the right side of the proposi- tion before it was too late. They were shut off by the announcement that the bill had won by a vote of # to 15. Dickinson’s Senate bill 12, which pre- vents the maintenance against the State £ an action brought by any county or of- fcer of any county for the collection of moneys alleged to be due for the audit- ing or collection of ad valorem taxes, was also passed. Senate bill 32 by: Ashe, which is designed to.give the Bohemian Club of San Fran- cisco the legal right to purchase Meekers Grove as the site for its annual jinks, was assed without a diseenting vote. Senate i1l 65, by Sims, relating {o notaries pub- lic; was also passed. Braunhart's seawall bill, which was due for jts third reading, was put over until to-morrow. Recess was taken at 4:30 until 8 o’clock this evening, when the first of the night sessions began. ¥ This evéning's session of the Assembly was_given over wholly to a special file made . up Tor. the occasion by Assembly- man D)Eble. chairman of the Committee on- Rules.

Rickard changed his vote ar:ld gave notice of a motion: to - recon- sider. Dibble’s Assembly bill 232 created a good bit of warm discussion not upon its merits but ‘upon®its-¢onstruction.

It was granted, ment .clause was ‘stricken out of Assem. bly bill 346 by ‘the Committee on Elec- tion_Laws. Belshaw withdrew Assembly bill.541. Assembly bill 636 provided for the reorganization of present polidical parties, and. Belshaw’s bill provided for the reju- venation of defunct organizations. A modest request to pass Assembly bill 127 on the file-got Atherton of Marin in all kinds of unexpected trouble. His bill pro- vides for the purchase of acres of land to be added to the farm.at Folsom Prison, and .makes -an- appropriation -of $4500 for that’ purpose.. Valentine of Los Angeles jumped’ out of his seat and came down with both feet on Atherton’s measure. Hé said he mlsm just as well Kkill it there on’ second; reading as at any other time, and. he started out to do it. He said this was a hard vear and the tax levy. would be necessarily large in order to carry the Eeneral apé)ro riation. Mr. Atherton asked why he didn’t think of that when he_got his $150,000' Paris Exposition appro- priation through. Valentine replied that Atherton could vote against that if he “désired, and then he jumped on. Grovel Johnson.. Valentine said e had not a bill before the House that he wanted passed s0 badly that he would go out on the.floor and frade votes to get it through. It was #&-hard slap to the Sacramentan and he .did not lie quiet under it; in fact, he gave Valentine better than he sent, and for a time- pandemonium was loose in the As- sembly chamber. Valentine interrupted Johnson, and Belshaw, who has shaved off his mustache and is. no more readily recognized by the Speaker, broke in on both of them. Atherton and Henley of San Francisco added .their’ voices, and Judge Clough got' up, aimed his" finger | | ” ‘When the bill was | Johnson’s Assembly bill 12,-also an act | | help of Dr. Pierce’s Gol | Price 81 » bottie., This | threateningly at Johnson, and demanded evidently put.a quietus to a number of | that this ~“damnable confusion” be silenced. % It_was all done in good nature, but it made a racket, and as a diversion was welcomed by every one, even Judge Dib- ble, who {s. somewhat of a stickler for legislative etiquette and the dignity .of procedure. 3 The second reading file came in for its share of ‘attention, and then adjournment was taken to to-morrow morning.at 10 o'clock. e e WEEKLY REPORT OF WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE CALL HEADQUARTERS, ' SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—The Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly filed its re- port to-day for the week ending Febru= ary 11, 1899.

LAWYERS’ DAY IN _JUDICIARY -COMMITTEE CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13.—1t was lawyers’ day be~ fore the sub-committee of the Senate Ju- diciary Committee this afternoon. The committee was considering the bills 15 provide for an intermediate Court of Ap- eals between the Superior Court and the upreme Court of the State. Senators Gillette, Davis, Dickinson and Morehouse composed the committee, and, to ‘assist them in their deliberations and argue with them were Attorney: Hayne, Wright, Denson and Ta; San Francisco. There are three bills now before the Senate on this subject—one by Dickinson, one by Davis and one by Simpson. Sena- tor Simpson’s bill met with most favor, but there were points in all of them which were seen to be valuable. The hardest question was to determine the jurisdiction of each court and to draw the line between a case that should go to one and one that saould go to the other. Judge Hayne argued that, as in the Simp- son . bill, those cases inv ng questions of constitutional law or authority should g0 to the higher court. Dickinson de- clared in favor of adding actions in emi- nent domain, and there were other fea- tures in Davis’ oill which were taken into favorable consideration. The question was not closed when the committee adjourned, nor was the one in- volving or defining thé powers of the vid Supreme Court over the newest thing in the system of justice. e - A Batch of Newspaper Bills. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 13—Another bu of newspaper claims for the publication of last - election’s - proposed constitutional amendments was offered in the Assembly this afternoon and ail of them referred to the Ways and Means Committee.
