and used threatening language to-

resolution to exclude Kearney from
the assembly chamber, and from the
galleries, lobbies, halls, committee
rooms, &C., under control OF
the assembly The resolution was
referred to special committee,
who, after hearing evidence, decided
to report that Kearney had been
guilty of an attempt to intimidate
Adams. There was lively passage
over another matter. A few days ago
Kingman, member from San Fran
cisco, telegraphed to Kearney: 1--WE

the sandlots. There is more need of
erecting a gallows In Sacramento.

hemp.h

discussion ensued, during which

board of supervisors at special meet
ing yesterday rescinded the resolution
passed at the last meeting, endorsing
the action of the board of health In
condemuing Chinatown. The resolu.
ton of endorsement to the committee
on health and police is to inquire into
the best method OF carrying out the
measure, aud the resembling of the
resolution was based on the ground
that no report has been received from
the committee.

that it was unnecessary. Referred to

Kalloch, who told them that while
their grievances were real aud their
talk, for the most part, sensible, yet
