Holmes and others were in the city yester-
terday, acting as committee for the De
partment of California, Grand Army of the
Republic, TO urge upon the Legislature the
ACCESSIBILITY of appopriating $4,000 to aid
in paying the expenses of holding the Ma
tional Encampment of the Grand Army in
San Francisco next year The committee
worked so promptly that Governor Stone
man, who readily saw the advantage rs
well as honor the State would derive from
the Encampment being held in California,
sent special message TO each house OF the
Legislature recommending action in the
premises. In the House a bill was intro
duced and read for the first time early in
the morning session. The Senate was
busy with another matter, which could not
we'll be interrupted The committee, how
ever, remained until opportunity arrived,
and the bill was read first time in the
Senate late in the afternoon. 1t will prob
ably be taken up again to-day in both
houses. The railroad companies have OK
pressed q willingness 10 do all they can in
the matter of furnishing transportation at
low rates, and ii is understood that first
class tickets will be issued for the same
pnce as during the Knight Templars' visit
to the coast-S75-goodfo for ninety days; and
an effort will be made to run second-class
cars on the same train, in which the " old
vets = can make themselves comfortable at
lower figures. The general public will be
allowed to travel at these rates as well as
the delegates, and it is believed that 10000
or 10000 people will take advantage of the
opportunity, many coming to stay
