Evening session.
IMMIGRATION.

Ats o'clock the house vent into com
mlttee OF the whole for the consideration
of bills on the general file, Mr.. Johnston
in the chair.
MIR, Roberts bill making the territorial
secretary immigration commissioner for
Wyoming was first assaulted. The intro.
Queer made a neat speech insupport of his
measure, dwelling on benefits to be derived
from advertising the resources and advan-
tages of the commonwealth. The amount
appropriated for the purpose was small,
being 81, 800 for the ensuing two years,
but sufficient for an experiment. All To-
~calities of the territory would be equally
assisted or benefited by the operation of
the proposed law.
Mr.. Sutherland endorsed the measure
but thought the appropriation insignif-
icant.
Mr.. Summers suggested that S., 900 be
applied in carrying out the provisions of
the act. This would be a mere bagatelle
in view of recent events in the a~ppropria-
ton line.
Mr.. Hooper spoke for his constituency.

before the house Immediately after the
midday recess. Mr.. Lafrentz requested a
call of the house. His motion was sec
seconded by the requisite number and the
doors were locked and the sergeant-at-
arms dispatched after the absentecs. Mr..
Van Devanter was the first culprit ar
raigned before the bar of the house. On
motion he was excused. Soon after
Pistols arrived having in custody
Messrs. Weaver, Kuykeudall and Grant.
Explanations were in order. The latter
was lame and had waited for a horse car.
The gentleman from Carbon had been de-
laYed by important business. Mr..
Viewers frankness paralyzed the war
horses. He was late for the very excel
lent reason that he had not arrived sooner
MIR. Summers moved to excuse Mr..
Weaver because he was honest. Carried.
The other prisoners were finally released.
The executive officer of the body then
started on a still hunt for Mr.. Blyden-
burgh. For an hour and twenty minutes
the house waited for the debater from
Carbon county, when the gentleman was
excused and the regular order of business
taken up.
A SUBSTITUTE.
Consideration of the gambling bill was
resumed. Mr.. Van Devanter offered a
up1pnnrnrs opnn,l,o 7 -
ity a substitute, taking the place of all
that part Of the original bill following the
enacting clause. The measure had been
carefully prepared and is a model anti
gambling bill. Participation in a rattle of
any sort is punishable by a fine of not
more than 500 or less than $40. Con
victed patrons of lotteries or gift enter
prises will pay from $40 to $500 for the
luxury, while advertisers of the lotteries
are also liable to punishment. The own
ers of buildings or structures of any char
acter are amenable to the law if gambling
is carried on about their premises. Adults
who entice minors to game may be both
fined and imprisoned. Horse, foot and
boat races are forbidden under formidable
penalties. Confidence men, if found
guilty of trapping the uninitiated, will be
imprisoned not less than two nor more
than fourteen years. The owners or
lessees Of rooms where pools are sold,
books made or money wagered in any
manner are misdemenants. The term
gambler Is clearly defneda and a ''sportive'
person may be fined and imprisoned. The
keeper of card, billiard or pool tables or ten
pin alleys where money is wagered on the
result of games will be interested in the
bill. Notes, contracts, or other evidences
OF Indebtedness changing hands on the
result of a wager, are declared void.
Gamblers who are unfortunate enough to
lose may recover the wasted shekels in an
action at law. Landlords may at once
terminate a lease upon the discovery that
their tenants violate any provisions OF the
act. A gambler is a competent witness
in a gambling case and may be compelled
to testify, but the evidence adduced can
not be used against deponent. A gam
bier within the meaning of the proposed
law Is not a competent juror in a case I'M
der this act within a year after violating
the statute. The operative gaming law
is repealed, but existing licences shall re-
main valid until the expiration of the
time for which they were issued. Follow

people from the possibility of being robbed
by INSCRIPTIONS officials. 1t would be
within his province to carefully examine
the books and accounts of each territorial
and county officer when he SO elected, and
at least twice annually, at irregular periods
and without previous notice. The bill was
consigned to the grave by an amendment
fixing the examiners salary at 81, 600
and appropriating $1,000 for a yearly
contingent fund. The councilman de-
cided that another $40, 1000 could not be
spared from the territorial treasury lust
now.
ARBOR DAY
Mr.. Bliss measure authorizing the gov
ernor to designate Arbor day, was recon-
mended for passage by the committee of
the whole council. Arbor day is intended
to encourage the planting of trees in the
territory, and will be designated by Off
clal proclamation each spring. The Holt
day will be observed by the schools. Ac-
cording to its provisions the corporate
authorities of the cities and villages of
Wyoming shall cause shade trees to be
planted along the streets, provided there
is sufficient water to irrigate the same.
For this purpose a tax of not less than 81
nor more than IS shall be levied upon
each lot adjacent to which the trees are
planted. Premiums will also be given to
tree planters under certain prescribed con-
ditions.
At 3 o'clock the council took an hours
recess for the benefit of committeeman.
At the expiration of that time a number
of standing committees submitted reports
on pending measures. During the day a
number of bills were read a second time
and ordered engrossed. Mr.. Loucks'
banking bill will probably come up for
consideration to-day.

Interstate Commerce Inve.tlgation.

New YORK, June 14.-At the Inter
state Commerce Commission investiga.
ton, Pool Commissioner Fink resumed
the witness stand, and the question Of
ocean rates in reference to the export
of grain was taken up. Witness said
these rates vary nearly every minute.
Jno A. Wilson, freight traffic agent Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, was the next
witness. He said his company delivers
grain from cars into the holds Of vessels.
By shipping directly into vessels his COM
pany saved 60 cents per hundred. He ad-
mitted that during the decentralization
of rates, the Pennsylvania Railroad al
lowed the Inman Steamship Line
so per cent of the through
rates. Wilson said that within the
past seventy-two hours he had received
information that the through rates from
Chicago by way OF Boston were less than
the export rates from Boston. He adj
mitted that his company charged more
for carrying the same commodity to New
York than it did for shipment to Liver
pool.
Mr.. MacVeagh then laid before the
Commission his side of the case. They
had to compete with all the routes over
which the Commission had no control.
He wished proportionate rate for ex-
port fixed. Adjourned.

THERE has been great deal of nom
sense talked about a collapse in real estate
sales in this section OF late. There has
been no such collapse, and there will be
none. A little cessation of activity in mid
summer is to be expected; but as, even
in our worst straits, we sell at least five
times as much property as they manage
to dispose OF in the city and county of
San Francisco, we can endure the sad
reverse. Much has been said about the
high price of Los Angeles realty, and this
has generally been said by fools. There
is plenty of real estate in this county that
will sell for from ten to fifty times what it
is bringing now, and that within period
OF five years. Those who like to bet on a
dead-sure thing can stake every dollar
in their garments and throw their boots
in, on the proposition that the biggest
movement in the settlement ever known
will be recorded in this county this COM
ing fall, winter and spring.

had assessed it. 1t was presentation
Of these facts before the State Board Of
Equalization which induced that body to
lower our assessment ten per cent. in
very shame, against the protest OF Mr..
County Assessor Mason, who was pres
ent at Sacramento and resisted the re-
duction.
These are facts in which the taxpayers
OF Los Angeles city and county take
keen interest. They will not soon forget
their obligations to the Republican party.
We are now paying half a million dollars
into the State Treasury at Sacramento,
not dollar Of which comes back to us,
all owing to the superserviceable zeal OF
this Republican county official to enrich
his constituents. All the same San Fran
cisco, which has three or four hundred
streets, saw her real estate assessed at
$50 100000, notwithstanding the fact
that four of her principal thoroughfares,
Van Ness avenue, Market, Battery and
sansome streets, would OF themselves
sell for much more than the assessment
Of the whole. The property on Market
street alone, in San Francisco, would
bring in $2OO,Ooo,OOO at judicial sale.
How the people of the Bay City laugh
at the box in which stupid, cranky or
worse, Republican county official has got
the people of Los Angeles. As for the
victimized taxpayers here they laugh on
the wrong side of their faces, and no
antics OF the Times can convert their
sand into sugar.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-06-15

In IS one of the standing tests OF the
Republican party that Democrats are abb
normally imbued with the office-seeking
mania. Noaccusation was ever more abso-
lutely without warrant. For twenty-four
years the Democratic party marshaled
its hosts and acquitted itself of the fan
fare Of political battle, Indifferent to the
loaves and fishes OF office, paying its own
expenses with lavish hand and esteem
ing it privilege to stand in with purse
and voice for the idea with which it was
affiliated. Mr.. Cleveland has steadily
grown in popularity on this Coast not
withstanding the fact that he practically
ignored, in his appointments to office,
the men who rule the councils Of the
party in the Golden State. He had no
more enthusiastic supporters at st. Louis
than these gentlemen. If ever there
was party whose affairs are admins
tered utterly without regard to office it is
the Democratic party. A thoughtful
contemporary INDUCES in the following
pertinent reflections and comparisons in
this connection;
Not single Federal officer-holder was
a delegate at st. Louis the first time in
the history Of the country that such
thing could be said OF convention of
the dominant party. Only thirty Demo.
cratic Congressman and Senators left
their work in Washington to attend,
while eighty Republican Congressman
and twenty-five Republican Senators
have asked for pairs to enable them to be
present at Chicago. There will be twice
as many ofiice-holders in the Republican
Convention as there were at st. Louis.
When the latter Convention is compared
with former Republican Conventions, it
assumes the aspect of the most remark
able body ever assembled in the United
States. Usually the membership OF
Republican National Conventions was
from one-third to one-half Federal Office
holders.
