CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, March 6.—After a long contest over the apportionment bill to-day the Assembly made that measure a special order for to-morrow at 11 o'clock. At 4:30 p. m. the Republican majority cau- cused and agreed upon amendments which insure the passage of the bill so far as the Assembly is concernped, but whether the Senate will concur is another question. The Assembly will leave the Senatorial districts as fixed in the Senate bill. In the Assembly districts San Benito loses its Assemblyman and is put in the Fifty- ninth District with Monterey. El Dorado is taken from Placer, leaving an Assem- blyman to the latter county alone. Ama- dor and Calaveras are put in the Eleventh District, and Alpine, Mono and El Dorado are grouped in the Fifty-eighth District. The Assembly_took up the Apportion- ment Committee’s amendments to the Senate bill this morning, The essentlal change proposed by the committee was to strike out all of section 2. relating to As- sembly districts, and to insert instead the scheme embodied in the Assembly bill. James Grows Humorous. James of the Seventy-third District, the only Democrat in the Los Angeles delega- tion, made a himorous speech on the manner in which his district had been gerrymandered. He sald that from a compact city district it had been changed to a shoestring twenty-four miles long and about three inches wide. This had been done In order to put the Soldfers’ Home, with nearly 2000 Republican votes, in the district to overcome the Democratic majority of the Eighth Ward. He likened the shape of the district, which he showed on a map, to a monument set to com- memorate his political demise. and to a grandfather’'s clock, which Carter of the Apportionment Committee, mindful of “Alice” and the Assembly clock, had blocked out. James had offered an amendment to the Los Angeles apportionment, but it was voted down without compunction, though the Assembly enjoyed his speech. Duryea offered the amendments to the committee amendments, which were aft- erward accepted by _the caucus. Irish spoke in_favor of Duryea's amendments, saying that a Democratic district had been formed for him—a district that would make a 1200 mile ride by bug; necessary to get from one end of it to the other. On motion of Anderson the bill and its amendments were made a special order at 11_o'clock to-morrow. In caucus a motion was made to accept the Senate bill, but it was defeated, the vote being 23 ayes to 26 noes. Some harsh criticism of Senators for attempting to ignore the Assembly in the matter of As- sembly district apportionment was ex- pressed, and a motion to adopt Durvea's amendments prevailed by a vote of 30 ayes to 9 noes. To Amend University Bill. Fisk precipitated a fight to-day on Sen- ate bill 539, the act:providing for a con- tinuous appropriation for the University of California, by the Mmsertion of an item of $200,000 in the general appropriation bill blennially during the next ten vears. Fisk’s ight was not made in an unfriend- 1y spirit toward the university, but be- | cause he believed the bill was an attempt to bind future Legislatures—an impossible thing. Fisk offered an ameniment striking out the figures *“'$200000" and inserting the words “‘a sum sufficient for the support and maintenance of _he institution.” fle belleved such an amendment would make the bill less objectionable on the ground just stated and also would leave latitude for an Increase in appropriation from ses- sion to session. Foster spoke at some length against the amendment and quotel from a letter by President Benjamin Ide Wheeler to Sena- tor Lukens in which this bill was called the most important of the university bills and asserting that unless some means of permanent increase in revenue for mair- tenance be pravided it would be advisable to establish tuition fees. : Anderson also spoke_ in opposition to Fisk's amendment, bu: before a vote was reached the time for consideration of Sen- ate bills expired anl the whole matter was left over as unfinished business, fur consideration to-morrow.

The bill went to the printer with rush orders ani the contest will be renewed to-morrow. Having Fun With Brady. Brady's telephone bill (Assembly bill 319) barely falled to pass the Assembly to-night and there is a good chance for it to obtain the necessary forty-one votes on reconsideration to-morrow. The bi'! was put on final passage without debate. A call of the House was necessary and after a half hour of horse play with 1b- sentees who were brought before the bir of the Assembly the bill had 39 aves. Brady changed from aye to no to give notice of a motion to reconsider andl elghteen members followed suit for tho fun of watching the consternation depict- ed in Brady's face. e vote as finally announced—21 aves to 47 noes—is not an i{ifi“ to the Assembly’s attitude on the Ralston called up Assembly bill 873, on the third reading file, out of order this afternoon, and on his motion it was amended 'to conform to the agreement | which had been signed by the Big Basin Lumber Company.

Davis | closed the debate in a speech that made a fitting though fiery companion for Smith's effort of the morming. Then the roll call sent the bill through with plenty of votes to spare. When the bill came up in the morning Wolfe offered the first of a series of amendments he had prepared—one to re- move a clause relating to former leases. A debate followed, in which it was agreed that the bill should 'stand or fall by itself —that the discussion should be on the merits of the measure and that no amend- | ments should be offered. The way thus being opened, Wolfe spoke against the bill, attacking the amount of the rental demanded, the terms of the lease and the proposition, as he described it, to make a jease of the last of the water front that amounted to & perpetuity. Smith Defends the Bill. Devlin spoke for the bill and sald he would vote for it because the people want- ed it, and ex-Governor Budd voucheéd for it. Selvage declared himself in favor of | the measure. Cutter apposed it, saying it was_an infamous measure and that he would not vote for it were he the last man In the State. | Then Smith of Kern entered the debate like a twelve-inch rifle among a lot of rapid-firers. He generally speaks from his desk, drives a knife into what he opposes or throws i e if he favors it, and sits down. But to-dav he took his time and the center of the alsle, and when he closed there was really nothing more to Pe sald. He said in t: d of Health ab- Boards of cholera and | of ome long battic between the people and the | raflroad.

San Francisco has no monopoly of tide- water facilities. Ships do not have to tie up at the foot of Market street. They can fa across the bay, and their rafiroad can establish a ter- minus. 1 concede that if the State were in a position to fill in the China Basin it could drive a harder bargain than it could under the terms of the lease; but Is it policy to grind this down {o the last farthing? For who pays it? Come down to my office and I'll show you who pays some of 1t. In every shipping bill there is an item_ “‘State bills." "It is the same thing—the people pay it In the end The Santa Fe engineers estimate that to fill in China Basin in accordance with the terms of the-iease would cost $1,000,000. Under the system of public works, the State could not 4o it under $1,250,000. 'Now, the proposition o— turn the property in fifty State should undertake to do would be & bond issue of $1.250, per cent this would demand Interest amounting to $37,500 a year. With this would be §1000 rent, which the Santa Fe must pay, and $25,000 or one-fittieth of the principal which would go to the sinking fund, Stste Will Be Gainer. This would make the expenditure for the first year of $63,60, or, as I figure it, an aver- age of $451% a year. And if the State did the work it would have to care for it, but under the lease the State will practically re- ceive more than $i5,000 a year, no expenses for maintenance, all wharf and dockage privileges and tolls, and the property itself at the end of fifty years. And 1t is objected that it will be twenty years before the State can bulld the seawail down to the leased property and so acquire it. But that means it will be twenty vears be- fore the State can drop a rock In the China Basin, while under the lease the State will get It already flied in twenty years, or as much sooner than that as she wishes to extend the seawall. Isn't that a good business prop- osition? Wolfe interrupted to ask what would occur if the Santa Fe filled in the inside twenty-four acres and refused to bulld the seawall as required under the terms of the new lease. Smith replied: 1 cannot see how that should bother this Senate. If the Santa Fe does not bulld a seawall on the outside it will have to bulld a retaining wall on the inside line, which is ust costly and not nearly as valuable. Why ould we worry whether the Santa Fe will do the wise or the foolish thing? Then Smith turned his attention to the motives which, he said, were behind the bill, and he laid the lash of his sarcasm and his keen logic over the backs of the | gPppsition until they quivered. In part he i, I know the spirit that is put forward bedt this measure and I say lg 1s not :nl. :‘; £ood faith. It is not a question of attorney, not a question of one man or the other. It is a question of the welfare of the State. I | have told by Senators upon this floor that they would beat this lul: because it would annoy and injure an attorney against whom tiey had ili-feeling. Oh, how 1 love such patriotism, such statesmanship! To ses ] RBreat stions affecting the welfare of a gom- monwealth decided not upon their merits, not is that the Santa Fe shall pay $50,000 and re- | closed the debate with the point of order that the bill was to ratify and not to | make a lease and therefore the amend- ment was not germane. The point of grder was ruled ‘‘well taken” and the discussion proceeded. Sims and Lardner spoke for the bill, Shortridge and Wolfe spoke against it, Wolfe wasting most of his time in a vain effort to answer ‘‘the Senator from Kern.” Senator Davis’ Ringing Sp2ech. An adjournment to evening was taken and then Lukens spoke for the bill. Oneal tried to get Davis Lo agree to an amend- ment providing for the submission of the lease to the people, but Davis would say nothing until he was allowed his elosing argument, so Oneal subsided and Davis rounded off the day with a speech that | rang through the Senate chamber like a trumpet and brought a burst of applause that ‘would not stob even at the rap of ent’s gavel. Davis referred to the relations betwcen the Republican party and the corporations, saying it was the party’s policy 0 show falrness to all and fearlessness and honor in dealing with them. “The time has passed,” he declared, “when any demagogue can climb to prom- inence on an anti-rallroad cry. We would give the lease to any railroad if it kept out of politics as this rallroad has kept out of {t. They can have anything that, in fafrness, they can ask for.” He then went over the Important pro- visions of the lease, which were inserted 1o protect the State’s interest, and closed with a thrilling appeal in behalf of the commercial pm{re.!s of the city.

The County Clerk says that the affidavits which constitute the county register were used at the general election last fail and cannot be used over again, as they were marked “voted,” and after the election were filed in his office as part of the County Clerk’s records. re seems to have been no provision made In the election law to provide affidavits for the use of election boards at any save the first election after a new registra- tlon is ordered.

Discovered by the eminent Chemist, DR. SIEBOLD Endorsed by the great Medical Authority, PROF. VIRCHOW, ci Germany PLASMON is the most digestible and nutritious food known * to medical science. PLASMON is a light powder made from fresh milk, and is albumen in its purest and most natural form. PLASMON is a muscle building, nerve sustaining food, easily digested and immediately assimilated by the most delicate system. PLASMON in wasting diseases, chromic affections of the stomach, intestines and liver, diabetes, brings rapid and permanent recovery. PLLASMON is perfectly soluble and may be mixed with any other food or beverage. It is tasteless, but makes every dish palatable. : PLASMON has a higher food value than any other food; added 'to othér foods it greatly enriches their nour- ishment. PLLASMON may be used as a substitute for fresh meat and eggs. It is the cheapest form " of pure nourishment known. One teaspoonful contains all the nourishment of one-quarter pound of the best beef. ) PLASMON is recommended by the world’s greatest physi- cians for invalids and convalescents.
