SENATE DlLL NUMBER SIXTEEN
REACHES THE SENATE.

StuaIt Dill w. AVt "h
amendments proposed by Mr..
attorneys, was yesterday re-
ceivsd by the Senate and referred to
the Committee on Mines and Mining.
The members Of this committee are a.
follows. viz: Hamlin tchairmaH), Sar-
gent Chandler, Crszler, Upton and
Gold,hwaitc. No mention has been
made In Associated Press dispatches OF
the reception of the Indignant protest
telegraphed after the meeting last Sat
urday night at Piper's Opera House,
nor except by q private dispatch was
It known that the bill had passed the
House, until notice OF Its reception In
the Senate wss telegraphed yesterday.
Senator Sargent OF California, Is q
member Of the Committee on Mines
and Mining. and Is also the originator
aud introducer Of Senate Bill No. l6.
The amendments adopted In the House
have entirely changed Its nature, and
It Is altogether likely that Mr. Sargent
instead Of favoring the passage OF an
act 80 mansled, that but for Its mum.
Der on tho calendar 1t would be un-
recognizable by Its author, will prefer
Its absolats defeat. Mr.. Sargent Will
not desire a repetition OF the fierce In
vcctive hurled against him by the PEG.
pie OF this coast somo two months
since, under the Misrepresentation that
he was the author OF the Ward bill,
which 10 almost Identical with his own
bill As now amended. His friends have
been very energetic denying his au'
thorship Of that bill, and with coed
success. We expect to lind every
Senator from tho Pacific Coast com
bined to resist the passage OF this mon-
,trous attack upon all classes OF our
people. Indeed, It Is hard to under
stand how any fair minded man, who
Ia acquainted with the true Intent and
sure effect Of tho law II passed, can
bring himself to Its support. by the
time the bill has been considered. and
before It Is reported by the com mittes
to the Senate, n petition embracing
many hundred names Of our we'll
known citizens will have been received
aud the whole facts Of tho case will
DO open to tho view Of Senators.
We have strong grounds for believing
that IL will never pass the Senate.
