No absolute decision was reached, but the favorite plan is to at- tempt to displace the statehood bill with some measure which will catch the votes of many of the friends of the statehood | bill, such as the anti-trust bill to be re- ported tosmorrow from the Senate Com- | mittee on Judiciary or eight-hour bill. If this plan upon later investigation or ac- tual experiment should prove impractica- ble the consolidation compromise bill probably will be reported from the Com- ‘nittee on Territories, and an effort will | be made to pass it by continuous ses- sion, thus exhausting debate. When the steering committee adjourned the under- standing was that the proposed coup should be undertaken to-morrow or mext day. SEAWALL BOND ISSUE. Harbor Commissioners Have Impor- tant Conference With Governor. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, Feb. 16.—Harbor Commissioners Kilburn and Kirkpatrick and Secretary English of the board held a long consultation With Governor Pardee this afternoon for the purpose of agree- ing, 1t possible, upon & proposition to lssue bonds to the amount of $4,000.000 for the | purpose of completing the seawall at, San | Francisco. This matter was suggested Gov- | arnor Pardee’ inaugural address, but the | ways and meuns were left for future consid- | eration. The Commissioners told the Governor that the interest and sinking funds on the proposed bonds could be pald out of the profits of rental and other sources of income from the water front, and that there would be no drain upon the State treasury nor would any other portion of the State Lave fo a#sist in the payment of the bonds. The honds would run for forty years, and at the end of the tenth Year it is ‘to be declded which of them are to ! b2 retired. The rate of Interest is yet to be aetermined. The Governor gave his consent for the in- troduction of a bill to authorize the d bord issue, intimating that such a bill if passed would meet with his approval. Inas- much as there is a constitutional provision forbldw ditional indebtedness of more than $300,000 without referénce to the peopie it will be necessary for the bill to o | that the entire matter sball be upon by the voters of the State, being therefore a constitutional amendment.
