It was as cloge to the referendum as was possible. The bill was referred to a sub-commit- Davis and Taylor. It has been-under con- sideration for some time and is being stripped by amendment of many of its principal features. The clause requiring the undivided attention of the members | of the commission was objected to. The | use excluding public officers and leg- | tors from those eligible to appoint- | ment met with no favor, the tenure of of- fice was not to the idea of the majority | of the sub-committee, and that part of the bill making the commission an ad- | visory board to the Legislature was in | peril of total elimination. | The committee is not yet through with the bill, and Senator Boyce began to think there was no chance for his scheme of reyision, so he declared he would have his bill go through with some of its good points remaining, or he wouid introduce a bill to wipe the commission out of ex- istence. He introduced a bill to-day. It 3 Code Commission. “‘is hereby repealed,” nd the fight is on. Boyce's contention s that the Code Commission, as at pres- ent created, is a useless incumbrance and an institution that falls far short of what it might accomplish. His bill aimed to make it a body In perpetual session, where people could come with their griev- ances, and when the Legislature met the commission would be able to propose something definite and not compel the leg- islators to go groping about in the dark for sixty days every second year. “I want to better that commission and make it something,” says the Senator; “but if they won't let me, they can have the other aiternative. If they don’t want to be better, let them go out of existence altogether.” SACRAMENTO COUNTY RECEIVES A SETBACK CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Fep. 18.—Sacramento was glven something in the nature of a body blow by the Senate to-day. It was during the discussion of Senator Doty’s bill provid- ing for the repayment to the county of Sacramento of money the county put into the State Fair. The present fair grounds are rapldly being surrounded by the grow- ing city of Sacramento, and it has been found necessary to sell the property. It was purchased in the first g)lncé with money raised by a tax levy in Sacramento County, and now the Sacramentans are { much more than had been sown. proposed to amend the bill S0 as to order | within any city | of | for deficiency the sale of the property, and this year gmcucally the same ,bill was introduced, ut with this additional provision—that if within a year after the sale the fair is not re-established in Sacramento County, then there is to be paid Sacramento Coun- ty the difference between the.price of the property and the debts upon it. It will sell for about $100,000, and there are debts amounting to $50,000. Senator Doty said the idea was that the county should be repald if the fair were established anywhere else, but if it were again located in Sacramento County, all would be satisfactory. He declared the measure was one for the protection of the county in case the fair were removed. But the Senate would not look at it that way. It was pointed out that the county had raised the original money, $53,000, willingly and with a view to secur- ing the advantages arising from the pres- ence of the fair, and that it had i‘eaped t was the money paid into the State Treasury for the benefit of the State. This was not what Senator Doty or his constituents wanted. Under the act of two years ago the money goes into the State Treasury, but there is nothing to prevent Sacramento from taking a try at it _anyway through the courts. But in trying to make it certain for the county, the promoters of the scheme met something which put it out of their way altogether and they objected. The amend- ment passed, however, and the bill was lald over for amendment, despite Senator Doty’s statement that they would sooner have the old law than the pending bill s with its amendment. SENATORS ANXIOUS ABOUT ADJOURNMENT CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 18.—The Senate is getting apprehensive of the day for final adjourn- ment, and a resolution to the effect that the body finally adjourn on March 4, with- out fail or postponment, has been sub- mitted by Senator Curtin, and s now in the hands of the committee on rules. A message from the Governor, breath= ing words of frugality and legislative economy, was read during the morning session and was listened to with an in- terest second only to the attentiofn paid the chaplain’s prayer. The Rev. Mr. Sturtevant has been drawn into the Sen- atorial contest so far as to pray that the vexing problem of the deadlock be speed- ily and effectually broken, and that then the man upon whom shall fall the honor of entering the halls of the United States Senate for California shall be pure and of high motives and fit for the duties and responsibilities that shall be thrust upon him, and that he shall so comport himself s to be commendable in the sight of the | L It is plain that the Rev.

The bill as| originally conceived by Assemblyman Cobb and passed by the Assembly provi ed that the act should affect only counties of over 85,000 inhabitants, and the Sen- ate struck this out so as to make it r fer to the whole State. But the Assembl would not stand the raise, and so a com- mittee of three—Senators Taylor, Leavitt and Prisk—was appointed to confer with a similar committee from the Assembly to find some way out of the difficulty. The Committee on Health and Hospit- als reported unfavorably on Hall's bill to prohibit the maintaining of a crematory limits or within two miles of the place. Maggard introduced a bill providing for the appointment of a State quarantine officer, under the direction and control ot the State Board of Health. introduced E:i bill defining what n Doty pharmacists are lowing reiular ph: duct a pharmax should be, but al- ians to own and con- without passing as a pharmaacist.

Gillette's bill for the purchase of a mile of water front on Humboldt Bay, with an appropriation of $13,000, was passed. He explalned that the water front had been cold to private parties in the early days and now the Federal Government will not Gredge the channel because it washes only private property. The channel has be- Fome shallow since the building of the breakwater out through the bar.‘and the Pederal Government stands ready to put in $15,000 In dredging it out, but it will not expend the money .until the State owns the water front. WOULD INCREASE THE BANK COMMISSION TWO MEMBERS CALL . HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 18.—Under a bill submit- ted to the Senate by Wolfe vesterday, provision is made for radical changes in the Bank Commission.

The bill appropriates $7479 04 to pay the claim- of Louis Gerlach, and was submit- ted by Senator Langford. The claim 18 in the District Fair ac- counts in the Second Agricultural Dis- trict. Gerlach was a director of the fair, | and so was Langford, and when it came time to pay up Gerlach had to draw his note for the $7000. Senator Langford was | one of the indorsers on the note. It was a bad year for district fairs, and among them all they came out over $200,000 be- hind. This amount was made the sub- ject of an appropriation oill two years ago, which passed both houses, buf was kfilPd by Governor Budd. who refused to sign it.” The bill introduced by Senator Langford is one way of escaping from the obligations of the note. hould the bill pass, the State will pay the claim, the note will be-canceled and the indors- | ers will not have to pay. Should the bill fail of pasage, however, the indorsers will have to pay up. Senator Langford sees nothing peculiar in his position. He says it is a State debt, not a personal one. BILL TO RE-ESTABLISH THE NORMAL SCHOOL CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA: MENTO, Feb. 18.—Assemblyman Law- rence Hoey of San Francisco introduced a bill to-day which is designed to re- establish the San Francisco Normal School, which was abolished some weeks ago by the Board of Education. The bill grnvlde! that the San Fran- cisco Board ef Education is authorized and directed to continue and maintain the San Francisco Normal School. It further i)rovides an appr?l‘ln!ion of $15,000 for the mprovement and further equipment of the school. The bill was referred to the Committee on Education. The second reading file consumed the entire day, in the Assembly and during the afternoon even that was read with- out a quorum to listen to it. The usual custom of adjourning on Saturday noon was ignored and a recess to 2 o'clock in the afternoon was taken instead. In the afternoon the fille was resumed, but by 3 o'clock the attendance had dwindled to the recent failure of JOURNEYS AMID ALASKA'S WILDS Lieut. Castner Reaches Dawson. FINDS ALL-AMERICAN ROUTE THE PARTY HAS A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. After the Pack Mules Are Killed and Eaten the Explorers Are Com- pelled to Live on Berries. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Feb. 18.—Lieutenant Cast- ner of the United States army has arrived in Dawson after traveling over 2400 miles on foot through the unexplored and un- known interior of Alaska. Castner and two other lieutenants started last spring from the southern coast of Alaska for the purpose of finding, if possible, an all-American trail to the interior. The party had not gone far when it was found that it would have to spearate. Castner and two soldiers, with five pack mules, started ahead, the others going back. It was weeks before Castner re- alized that all maps of the Interior of Alaska were wrong. He was hemmed in with ice and snow, and to go back was as bad as to go ahead. The provisions gave out and one by one the pack mules were killed and eaten. Finally, without shoes or moccasins, reached the Tanana River, although not recognizing it. ‘With feet tied up in canvas and living on berries the party started to raft down the river, let it lead where it would. Bad luck followed them, and their raft was destroyed, thelr guns and axes going to the bottom. A coil of rope was saved, and with this another raft was made and the journey continued. On the river was an encampment of Indians, who rescued Castner and his companions and put them on the trail to the Yukon, which they r Lieutenant Castner American trail can be southern coast to the interior, ready to lead the w: a good all- and is the route. The lieutenant and compan- ions were literally skin and bones when they reached civilization, but all have re- covered from the exposure and hardships. They were ior more than eight months alone in the solitudes of snow and ice in the interior of Alaska. The party blazed the trail they followed, so it can be retraveled and made an American highway.

We lived happily together for several years. Then he began to neglect me. I did not feel the pangs of jealousy. My nature is too proud for that. I felt that he himself crushed out the love I bore him, and he alone would some day live to regret it. When we were married we went to live in a cottage adjoining the home of his family. Things went on nicely, but after a time my husband began to neglect me. He never gave me any money and we lived very fru- gally. He never allowed me to get an inkling to his financial affairs, but I cared little for this. It was none of my business as long as he was willing to support me properly. But this he did not do. Everything we got was bought on credit and bills were con- stantly pourine in, which he showed lit- tle disposition to settle. 1 became sad- dened by this state of affairs. 1 had not | been brought up to live on others, but I said nothing until he began to make extended trips to the city. “In August of '97 my husband left Petaluma and told me he was going into the country for a hunting trip. He promised to write to me every day, but was gone fully six weeks and did not write a line. 1 went to the city and found out that he was camping with some of his friends and was accompa- nied by Juanita Coad. When he re- turned he did not come back to Peta- luma. He was a coward at heart, and probably thought that I bore him ill will. 1 did not, however; neither did I cherish any revengeful thoughts against the Coad woman. His actions simply killed my love for him, and with its dying no thoughts of jealousy kindled within me. “I had my regrets, of course, and the thoughts of teaching my boy to love a father who was not a man gave a tinge of sorrow to them. His sisters and mother, who have always shown the greatest interest in my welfare, were kind to me in my misfortune, and they did all they could to affect a reconcilia- tion between us. If Mr. Brown had a character like the rest of his family our affairs would never be aired in the courts of divorce. “When I found that he was consort- ing with the Coad woman I went to the city and visited their house on Powell street. I was admitted to the house, and on searching her room I found the picture of my husband in the pocket of her dress. On the walls of her room hung the picture of my baby boy.

After being gone nearly a year he returned and offered to give me $10 simply to be able to go on the stand and swear, in case I sued for divorce, that he had provided for me within a year. “I have sued for the divorce on the ground of infidelity, for the - reason that I want everybody to understand my reasons for asking for a separation. I am strongly opposed to divorces and would be willing to put up with almost anything but infidelity. A man who is unfaithful to his wife is indeed a low creature.
