Presumed it was that TO which objection was

embrace great deal too much.
DR.. ODonnens public morgue petition was
introduced III the Legislature yesterday. 1t Is Il
ponderous document, containing l2OOO names
Clerk Ryan Will unquestionably have urgent
business outside the Assembly If that document
ever comes up for reading.
Mr. Loud of san Francisco, yesterday intro
| duced in the Assembly bill 10 amend the
| Constitution SO that the Legislature may SIT
| one hundred days instead of sixty. There Is
widespread feeling among legislators that the
present constitutional limit is serious blunder
| When the bill to discourage gaming was intro
| duced in the Assembly, yesterday, member III
| one of the back seats suggested that it be re
| ferred TO the Committee on Game.
| Assemblyman COleman's concurrent resolu-
| ton introduced yesterday, provides that Con-
| gress shall give to the Central Pacific Railroad
| Company other lands in lieu OF those which
| embrace the pineTies about the shores of Lake
| Tahoe and that the latter be set apart as a
public park. Action of this kind IS deemed
| necessary in order TO protect from destruction
the grand forests that now form such superb
| setting for the gem OF the Sierra"
| The Senate Committee on Education was in
| conference all last evening with State Superln-
| ing matters in relation to legislation on the
| crssed was the matter of purchasing copy
rights plates, etc, and the legal significance OF
the Perry Act amending the Constitution, which
r ads that the State Board of Education mag
| have the printing done at the state printing OF
| fee Professor Allen and some of the commit
| tee are of the opinion that under the amend
mcnt the Board has the right to have the print
| ing done wherever they may deem it advisable
| OF course in the interest OF economy only.
| Senator Perry states that the original bill mas
| been looked up, and it reads that the Board
snail have the printing done at the State printing
| Office, but that the engrossed bill reads " may
| have" etc. He thinks that the Legislature can
| correct the matter, however so as TO make II
mandatory on the Board to have the printing
| done at the State Office. Professor Nelckel
is of the opinion that the Board cannot, without
| express direction of the Legislature, have the
| printing done outside of the state office. The
| committee took no definite action last evening
but postponed further consideration OF the mat.
ter until next week.
