The interviews which take place at Dibble’s law office | in the Mills'.buildine relate to the sub- jects which the proclamation shall em- brace. When a member from Shasta Tuolumne or Santa rbara indicates the mesz e of legislation that is con- sidered most urgent by his constituents, Dibble signifi that the urgent subject may be embodied in the proc- lamation for an extra session, provided that no objection shall be interposed by the county to the election Legislators who do not fall in line re- t that the proclamation will em subjects of vital impor- . to their constituents.

No doubt all the information obtained has been conveyed to the Mexican. The conference at Crimmins’ saloon yester- day had reference, presumably, to the necessity of rounding up the members of the San Francisco Republican dele- gation in the Legislature. As two of the San Francisco Democrats in the legis- Jative body receive orders from Rainey, the presence of the last-named boss at the conference is accounted for. In a ce age comprehends that he would be placed in a sorry plight before the peo- ple of the State if members called to- gether in extra session should wrangle and create another deadlock over the Senatorship. A on of two weeks would cost a good, round sum of money. A prolonged session would empty the t and arouse the wrath of tax- payers.

There is no doubt that Mr. Rainey is using all his political skill and wisdom to gain a strong hold in the convention with the aid of the Examiner and de- mand more than a little recognition. With the Examiner at his back he thinks he can whip the McDonaldites into line and scare them into giving him a good part of the nominations.

Workmen are now employed on the fresh-water basin and main causeway. This driveway will be 300 feet wide, and when completed will be accessible from one of the most beautiful entrances to any navy vard in the world. The [resh- water basin, with its 5000 feet of space, will be retained by concrete wallz on either side. The work is to be done this year. The great portion of the dredsing of the basin has been completed, and the gravel pumped to the lowlands, now fiiled to the levees, and along which maple trees have been planted.
