LEGrsLArIyE NOTES.

The Judiciary Committee of the Senate has
made g report on the resolution introduced
about ten days ago by Senator Dray, which will
set at rest the talk about further legislation be-
ing needed in regard to the site for the United
States Government building in this city. The
resolution was as follows:
Res0lUed, That the Committee on Judiciary Of
the Senate is requested to examine and report
whether any further legislation is necessary on
the part of the State of California TO the United
States Government in the matter of Postoffice
and other public building sites necessary for
the use of said Government, and if they find
that more legislation is necessary to report q
bill for that purpose.
The committee says: 1--WE have had the same
under consideration, and respectfully report
that we have examined the subject IN said reso-
luton contained, and on said examination find
that no furtherlegislation is necessary thereon
The Committee on City and County Govern
ment yesterday reported fayOrabiy a substitute
for S B. 48i. introduced by Senator Bowers.
This bill proposed to change the boundaries of
of the corporation, as that village wants to set
up for itself. And there is much feeling in San
Diego and on the beach regarding it. Senator
Bowers, upon consultation with the Judiciary
Committee, has found out that there is no law
allowing a city to exclude any part of its terri
tory. and the Constitution expressly prohibits a
special law for this purpose. There are many
cities in California thas comprise the original
pueblo and there is now no way to cut off the
country from the city. The city of San Diego is
compelled 20 collect city taxes nearly twenty
twenty miles along the coast The substitute
provides method that leaves the whole matter
OF changing the boundaries of city to the voters

An effort was made in the Senate yesterday
evening to hold night session, but failed by a
vote of is to l6 1t was noticed that mostly
those who voted for holding the evening session
were the ones who usually favored adjourn
ments at any time, and who do very little when
they are present. The matter was made plain
when it was discovered that about half of the
Senators had received complimentary tickets to
Modjeska's performance at the Metropolitan,
and those who had been sighted were attempt
ing to make the favored ones remain at the
Capitol.

testimony, but the committee had good time
and the taxpayers will foot the bill.
The Assembly Commlttee on fuDuc morals
held meeting last evening and considered the
bill for suppression of pool rooms. L. J. Clunie
appeared as counsel against the bill and intro
duced several witnesses to show that breeding
blood horses depended on lacing, and racing on
betting and that without these stimulants this
important industry would decline. Ira P. Ran
kim of san Francisco. President of the Society
for Suppression of Vice, took issue with this
proposition. but said that il such were the re-

should not be permitted to outweigh the moral
interest of the community. The committee con-
cluded its hearing.
