NERVOUS MARION.

NERVOUS MARION.
Assembyman Marion. who was very pale and
nervous. was next interviewed. He said: "At
Dibbles request l met him In the library this
morning TO talk about The Appropriation, County
Government and Riverside bills We adyerted
10 tlie fact that tho Senate has added about
"A quarter OF million dollars TO the ApDropria-
tlou Bill, and We tried To devise means for cut
ting il dCwn when II would be returned
10 tie House. You know that l have always
been opposed to anything that would cause us
to violate the 50-cent limit pledge. Then we
spoke about the County Government Bill and L
called his atteutiOn 10 the license clause In that
bill to which l AIN opposed. Then we turned TO
The River side BILL Which he favOrs and oppose,
aud we counted the names OF those who would
probably vote against II"
Did Dibble write The names or check them of
ON a foll-cali?"
~ don't think lie did, did not see him writing
anything"
"Was Ihe waste. basket nearly full when you
entered the roUmY'
Il did not notice It,"
"Nhy di,l you and Dibble visit FELTON, together
last uigit"'
Just TO discuss lhe situation with him"
WHAT MEMBERS THINK.
There are many members of both houses who
| believe that the conference in the library had
| the Riverside Bill Tor Its subject. Ii Is now re-
| membered that S21 800 was the amount of the
| sack which Senator Carpenter said lie had been
| informed had been raised TO help the bill along
| Tie fact that among the fragments were several
| portions Of blank checks on the Bank of Fresno
| Is another Circumstance to show that DE Young
ana FELTON, may have had nothing TO do with the
/ scandsl0us affair.
Parties coming from Riverside would have to
| pass through Fresno.
Following is the letter which De Young wrote
| to Hart:
An evening paper OF this city having published
| certain statements connecting my name with an
| alleged discovery Of irregular proceedings in the
| Senatorial cont est respectfully request you to
state in explicit terms whether there Is founda-
M H. DE YouNG.
| NEW LAWS.
| The Senate to-day. by vote OF % 10 IL, de-
feated Bruner's bill providing for the licensing
| OF gambling-hoUses
| the next election the electors shall siguify
whether an educational qualification shall be re-
| Guired OF voters.
Tie bill for the Incorporation OF the town OF
| Red Bluff was signed by tile Governor this morn
| Ing. The Governor signed Went WortlI's bill pro-
| vidng that every person who catches. kills or
| oilers Tor sale any variety of trout between No
yember and April shall be guilty Of msde-
| meanOr.
The Governor has signed The bill providing for
| the issue and sale of bonds to create fund for
| the construction aud furnishing by the State
| Board OF Harbor Commissioners OF n general
| ferry and passenger depot at San Francisco.
| Ii Is difficult at thi writing 10 determine what
| effect the days revelations viii have upon the
| Senatorial fight. Estee says lie will gain five
| votes. FELTON, declares that the manner In which
| the expose was made Will benefit him, aud
/ Blanchard Is practically out OF the race. The
| time has come for The appearance OF dark
| horse, and J0hnstOn's name is again becoming
| prominent.
! EXAMINATION OF BANK-BOOKs.
The following measure OF great Importance to
| the taxpayers OF the State and Of considerable
| Importance to the l1ibernia and other banks OF
| the State passed the House to-day:
Section l. 1t shall be the duty OF the Controller OF
