CONGRESSIONAL,
SENATE,

SENATE.
VOORHEES, offered resolution which,
went over until tomorrow directing
the Secretary Of the Interior to with.
hold for the present his approval of
patents or certificates for lands Sc
!ected y the Northern Pacific rail-
way in lieu of others said to be lost.
The preamble to the resolution sets
forth that the rights of settlers might
be injuriously affected by such ap-
prOva'.
The Senate took up the the special
order for the day-McPherson's bill,
reported by Bayard from the COM
mittee on finance, to provide for the
issue of circulating notes to the Ma
fOnal Banking Association, and
Bayard addressed the Senate IN favor
OF the bill. He said the bill re-
ported gave entire and absolute
security to holders OF the currency.
1t went to assert. protect and con-
tinue an absolutely safe currency. 1t
was the business Of Congress to
maintain such q punctiliOus and
scrupulOus regard for the public
credit that the fact that bond is to
be paid according to its face and its
terms would never be doubted by
any man. When Congress had done
that let private speculation take up
the game Of profit and loss that was
to accrue from it. Congress should
have nothing to do with such
schemes. :: 1

tinues-CoInparative Reports.
The weather for the past week has been
decidedly too tropical and continuous upon
the upper register to be popular even with
the advocates of hot sun baths. 1t is not
usual for such high temperatures to con-
tinue to exceed three days without cool
change, but it has now been week since
the strain on the upper ends of the Their
mometer commenced, and at midnight,
with the exception of a slight overcast of
clouds. no substantial indications of break
in the "spell" was noticeable The gem
eral range of thermometer throughout the
valley was about the same on Saturday as
had been given for past few preceding days
The highest temperature recorded yester-
day at various points were as follows Sac
ramento, 1902; Rocklin, 1040; Truckee
$50; Summit, 750; Colfax, 1902; Red Bluff,
1909; Marysville, 112o; Woodland, 1902;
Cottonwood, 1922; Chico, 1100; Penryn,

with register of 116o.
A fine shower was enjoyed on the noun
tains between Cisco and Summit on Satur-
day. Last night it was very cloudy on the
upper part of the road over the hill"
Sergeant Barwick makes the following
report for this point together with COM
parison of record with former years
There has been but fourteen days this
season that the maximum thermometer re-
corded a temperature above 800, and the
people generally are growing about this
heated term; but the following tabulated
statement, that indicates the number of
days the temperature reached above 800,
and also the highest point reached during
each season, from 1877 to date, will show
that we are getting along unusually well so
far this season, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing statement of comparisons:

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Dive NuIsances.

Great complaint has been made recently
III general way of the annoyances caused
to citizens residing in the neighborhood OF
certain dives" located on some Of our
principal thoroughfarcs 1t is rumored
that q large number of citizens who are
offended by the loud noises, boisterous con-
duct and indecent icsts and songs. are
about TO petition the Board of Trustees of
the city TO pass al order that all licenses
shall tie withheld from business of this
character. There seems to be 4 palmer,
specdIer and more adequate remedy in the
law itself, and that complaint TO the CITY
or District Attorney, based upon Section
SIG of the Penal Code, would be more
efiectual IN Rbrdging these nuisances. This
SECTION reads as follows: Every person
who Keeps any disordeyly house, or any
house FOR the purposes OF designation or
prostitution, or any house Of public resort.
ny which the peace, comfort or decency of
the Immediate neighbOrhood is habituallv
disturbed, or who keeps an inn in disor-
derby manner < is guiItv of
q misdemeanor."
1t has been often decided by Courts and
Iuries that any house kept in such a man
ner as 10 annoy or scandalze the public
generally, or as a resort for thieves,
drunkards. or other idle and vi
GGlous! people, Is a public nuisance
1t is sufficient if the disorder he
frequent, and it is not necessary that all
persons residing near or passing ii are an
noyed. The acts must be such as tend to
annoy good citizens. The license in these
cases are no protection
Some doubt may exist as to whether the
Board OF Trustees could legally decline TO
issue license to conduct any business, on
the ground that such Board could not Judi
clally determine the character of the bust
ness. The best course for those citizens
who are subject to this dive nuisance is to
at once apply to the Courts for relief, and
furnish the evidence, whereupon the same
can be abated with little trouble, and should
be onreHilV
