SACRAMENTO, Feb. 7.—The Assembly | {his morning adopted the Benate Jjoint resolution introduced in the Senate by Wolfe relative to the building of a Pa- cific cable. The first section of the reso- lution reads: “Resolved, by the Senate and the As-| sembly jointly, That our Senators in Con- gress be instructed, and our Representa- | tives therein be requested and urged, to | vote for and use all honorable means to | secure the passage of a bill requiring the laying of such cable, and also requiring | that the cable be made by an American company in the United States.” The Committee on State Hospitals and Asylums reported favorably Assembly bill 19, repealing section 19 of the State lunacy An unfavorable report was made by the majority of the Committee on Federal Relations on concurrent resolution 1, which expresses sympathy for the Trans- vaal Republic and Orange Free State. The minority report recommends the adoption of the resolution Assembly bill 21, appropriating $13,000 to pay the per diem and mileage of Assem- blymen, was passed under suspension of the constitution. 1 Senate bill 4, repealing the mining law of 1897, was passed.

ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 7.—As The Call predicted, Governor Gage's as- sault on the State patronage re- ceived its first setback this after- noon when the Senate, after a pro- longed debate, refused to pass the so- called lunacy bill. The vote was 23 against the bill and only 9 for it. During | the debate Senators Wolfe and Short- ridge, who spoke for the measure, were | forced to acknowledge that the Governor wanted it passed and appealed to the Senators to vote for it as a compliment to the executive. If the bill had passed it would have given the Governor the | power to remove any employe of the | State insane asylums. The Senators who voted against it claim they did so because | the proposed law was ridiculous on its nted to give the Gover- nor to understand most emphatically that he was not to be vested with authority | in charge of the State institutions. To-day's vote is looked upon as a test of the Governor's strength in the Sen- | ate, and there is little doubt that his | other patronage propositions will meet a similar fate to that of the lunacy bill. The measure was before the Senate Com- mittee on Hospitals, Health and Quaran- tine earlier in the day. Governor Gage was present and pleaded for the extraor- dinary power which he asked. His efforts were without avail, however. In spite of his representations the committee unanimously decided to refuse him his request, and to report the Governor's fa- vorite bill back with the recommendation that it do not pass. It is said that Gover- nor Gage was very angry when informed of this action, but his anger had no ef- fect upon the committee. This afternoon the bill was unfavorably reported by Senator Rowell, chairman of the committee. It was immediately taken | up, and Senator Wolfe, to make the meas- ure a little more acceptable to the Sen- ate, offered amendments to limit the number of persons who would be placed in the Governor's power by the passage of the bill, requiring charges to be made in writing, and permitting those accused to introduce evidence in their defense. It was on these amendments the debate which followed was on, and their defeat meant the defeat of the Governor's bill. Senator Rowell spoke against the measure with a quiet force that carried p'a!sed under suspension of the constitu- tion. A resolution was introduced by Melick favoring the bill now before Congress appropriating $550,000 for making improve- ments in Yosemite Park. The following joint resolution was in- troduced by O'Brien and referred to the Committee on Federal Relations: ‘“Whereas, There has been presented to the Senate of the United States for rati- fication a convention between the United States and Great Britain relative to the construction, control and management of the proposed Nicaragua canal; and ““Whereas, The said convention does not preserve to this Government the right of absolute dominion and control which she should have and exercise over the said canal; and ‘Whereas, The United States has re- cently demonstrated to the clvilized world that she is fully capable of managing her own affairs in time of peace or war, with- out the co-operation or support of other nations; and ““Whereas, The preservation of our Government rests chiefly upon such choice of action, now, therefore, be it “Resolved, By the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate concur- ring, that our Senators in Congress be requested to oppose the ratification of gald convention presented to them, signed by the respective plenipotentiaries of* the United States and Great Britain concerning the construction of the ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; “Resolved, That his Excellency theGov- ernor be requested to submit a copy of these resolutions to our Senators in Con- gress.” Senate constitutional amendment No. 3, allowing a vote to be taken on the pro- posed municipal charters at general elec- tons and allowing such charters to be amended by a majority instead of a three- fifths vote, was passed. Merritt introduced a bill out of order providing for the removal by the Gov- ernor of officlals whose terms of office are not fixed by the constitution.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 7.— Among the many messages of congratulation wired to Mr. Bard is the following from Senator George C. Perkins: WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 1900. Hon. Thomas R. Bard, Sac- ramento: Accept my hearty congratulations upon your election as United States Sen- ator. That election has healed the breach in the Republican ranks and has rendered vic- tory in November certain. Your high character and abil- ity are guarantees of the posi- tion you will take in the United States Senate, and it will be my great pleasure to work with you for the good of our common country, and especially for the Golden State that has honored us, and which we both love so much.

He pointed out that as a matter of policy not only the amendments | but the bill itself should be voted down. The measure represented a vicious prin- ciple that could not be indorsed. The Senator’s line of argument was followed by most of those who spoke after him. Senator Sims pointed out the unreason- able features of the measure, condemning it as unconstitutional and not in keeping with the fundamental principle that no man shall be punished until he be proved guilty. propesed amendments did not cover the viciousness of the measure and stated that the present law gives the executive all the power that is necessary for the proper performance of his duties. Senator More- house also spoke against the measure, pointing out how unreasonable it was to glve the Governor the extraordinary power for which he asked. Senator Wolfe closed the debate, speaking strongly in favor of his amend- ments, but the Senate was almost to a man against them, and they were voted down. Senator Rowell then moved to kill the bill for all time by striking out the enacting clause. His motion met with general approval, and was carried by a vote of 23 to 9. ASSEMBLY TO TAKE SIMILAR ACTION SACRAMENTO, Feb. 7.—The Assembly Judiciary Committee this afternoon met to consider an Assembly companion bill to the Senate measure giving the Governor extraordinary power to remove from office, which was killed in the Senate this afternoon. As the Senators had done, they agreed that it was a vicious meas- ure and will report back recommending that it do not pass. SESSION EXPENSE BILL PASSES THE SENATE SACRAMENTO, Feb. 7.—When the Sen- ate was called to order this forenoon Sec- retary Brandon read from the desk a | telegram which had been received from Senator George C.

In view of increasing commerce with the Orient it needs its full strength in Con- gress to take advantage of present op- portunities.
