Asylum Commissioners.

Los ANGELES, November 4th.- This
morning all the Asylum Commissioners
met in the parlors of the Nadeau Hotel. to
consider the kilograms received from the
Governor since Saturday nights meeting.

ecutiye and the Commissioners, the former
asking questions the latter answering. The
Governor thought $150000 too much for
the Rhodes site, whereupon Mr.. Rhodes
modified the offer to a proposition to
sell FIVE hundred acres and eighty inches of
water for $4,000. This is fifteen acres
less than the original offer and $40 600
less with twenty inches more, including
five inches of hot water from the Gov
ernor's adjoining land.
The new offer was Immediately tele-
graphed to Waterman. No answer was re-
oeiyed TO this up to o'clock. when Com
missiuners n. P. Grant, l. n. Fisher and J
H. Carr left for their respective homes,
with the understanding that if this last offer
is rejected that Chairman Severance shall
summon the Board to select another site

deeds are to be made out.
