SACRAMENTO, April 28.-An ex.
traordinary scene of fiIiibustering
and confusion took place in the
Senate last evening. 1t grew out
of the efforts of the minority to de-
lay the eDgrussment of the Tax
Levy bill, over which. there had
been a bitter fight. The row was
begun by Hudson moving to recon.
sldsr the vote by which The Sears
amendment, cutting off tue debris
tax, was adopted. Motions to tabie e
the reconsideration we're followed
by motions to adjourn, point of Or
der and call Of the Senate.
For two hours the fillibusters
headed by Neumann, John
sou and Dickinson continued
roll calls to adjourn. Finally there
became y tie. At one roll Call the
Secretary made an error in record
ing the vote to adjourn, falling to
record Senator Pool In the mega
tive, and President pro TEN Johu.
son declared the Senate adjourned.
All the anti-slickens Senators who
had keep tally and recorded Pools
vote Immediately sprung to their
feet and challenged the roll call.
The scene then was indescribab!e.
Some Senators took their hats aud
started out In haste; others cried
to the Chair to call the Senate
to order. Epos shouted above the
ROAR that, "We will not stand this
bulido5iug." johnson rushed over
to Enos with clenched fists. utter
tig angry language. Gorman
darted in and shaking his fist In
CLOSE proximity to Johnson's face
shouted, excitedly, "Go back to
your own side. II you come over
here to get fight you can have It,"
8attei white by this time was angry
and shouted to Euos, "Stand up to
him !" Pardee pushed himself be.
tween En0s and Johns on and a
personal encounter was prevenie1,
but confusion still prevailed. The
minority then began to leave in y
body, but leading supporters OF the
Sears amendment remained and
called on their. followers to stay.
The Chairman restored order sufii-
ciently to announce the cause of
the error, and thereafter speeches
good.tempered but firm were made
BY SEARS and Neumann.
Neuuann frankly said that his
design was to fillibuster to give
members time to reflect before
voting on the engrossment, as he
WAS firm in the belief that the
amendment adopted would render
the levy unconstitutional. When
order was completely restored tao.
tics Of delay were again introduced
aud pursued for sometime, until
AnalIy, at 7:l5, the sllckens men
gave way, the bill was sent TO en-.
grossment and the Senate ad-
journed. The fraoas created great
excitement and the Golden Eagle
Hotel was thropged with mem mbers
and politicians at night discussing
the matter. Speaker Parks is un-
communicative, but affects to feel
sure that the fight of Sears will not
win In the Assembly. The opin.
ion generally prevails that II the
Senate pursues its policy the
apporti0nment will be knocked
higher than q kite. The contest In
the Senate was more bitter than
spy that ever took place In that
body before, and conservative Re.
nubllcans on all sides declare that
. big row and smashup seems to be
Inevitable,
