ESPECIAL TO THE sESTrNEL.l
CARSON, New, Jan. 21.-The frat rail-
road regulation bill OF the session made Its
appearance in the Senate this afternoon.
II was introduced by westerield, and il
in the hands OF the State Printer.
The most exciting proposition considered
to-day was the following concurrent reso-
luton: "In view Of the fact that the
Legislature Of California is now in session
and about to elect a United States Senator,
the people OF the State of Nevada, repre-
sented by its Senate and Assembly, now
assembled. appeal to the Legislature Of
California to select a man for United
States Senator, who will stand side by side
with our Senators and Representatives in
congress In protecting the silver Interest
OF Nevada. The Governor il hereby au.
thorized to telegraph the above resolu-
ton to the Legislature Of California i'm
mediately." 1t was acted upon fret in
the Senate, and immediately was trans
mitted to the House. Foley was it's author.
1t passed the Assembly, but not without a
debate, i'll which Marden and Allen con-
tended that it was an impertinence for our
people to NEEDLE with the affairs OF a sister
State. Pike, on the other hand made a
silver speech, and thought the gravity of
the matter involved justified the passage
of the resolution. Governor Adams tele-
graphed the appeal TO Sacramento. In the
same connection it may be mentioned that
the Assembly adopted y resolution to-day
requesting Senator Jones to telegraph his
views on the silver question to the Silver
Convention to be held at Carson Jan. 81.
