Special to THE MORNING CALL
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 9-The light-fngered
gentry and the women who have forgotten
what shame means are here in droves and
daily raid upon the men, and unannounced
visits at the dens where these women con-
gregate are in order. So far fifty arrests
have been made OF men and women, who
are in lieu of a worse designation called
Migrants. They have been imprisoned for
terms varying from one to three months,
and the atmosphere begins to reveal to the
senses the purifying passage of moral
thunder storm.
Appointments are being made with slow
haste. aud the men who are here to save
their coun ~ by serving themselves are be-
ginning to wonder when the lightning of
destiny will begin to play about their de-
voted heads.
THE WORLDS FAIR BILL.
NJ. NJ. Estee is booming the Worlds Fair
Bill with all the energy he possesses. He
will first introduce the act providing for
State exr enditure CT $500 900, which is en-
titled AN act appropriating money to pay
the expenses of maintaining an exhibit of
the products # California at The Worlds
COlumb an Exposition to be held in Chicago
in 1898" 1t provides that the Governor of
the S It. shall within thirty days after the
passage Of the act appoint seven Com
missJoneJs, who shall constitute "CalifOr-
,. r. md m
shall be taken as near as possible from the
two leali. parties. These are to have eX-
elusive charge and control If the eXpendl-
ture OF all moneys appropriated by the State
for the construction of buildings and main
tanning an exhibition of the products of the
Stat. They shall receive no compensation
for their services, hut shall be allowed
travelling expenses. The 100000 appropri-
ated by the act is to meet the expenses of
erecting buildings and collecting and main
tanning the exhibit.
Mr.. Estee has no doubt that this bill will
20 through, and the bill appropriating
funds for county EXHIBITS will probably fol-
low its example. Democrats and Republic
cans who were interviewed are in favor of
both bills.
SPLITTING UP COUNTIES.
There are hig delegations from San Ber-
uardino and Los Angeles counties, none of
whom are representatives to either House,
but all Of whom are opposed to division Of
the counties they now represent. One Tea-
son against tn proposed cutting up of sew
eral counties was given to THE CALL repre-
sentative Tonight. 1t was that the counties
during the trying booms had cut wide roads
and built biz the tiers and courthouse en-
larging their charms, so to speak, and when
the boom went a-Elimmering and they be-
came placid and drained they saw that it
would be Wei TO add some Of their sections
containing worthless but costly improve
ments to other counties that had no improve
ments and did not want anv.
So 1t Is said this movement has started and
II Is solemnly alleged that a caucus of the
men from san Bernardino was held last
night, at which dispatches were received
from the place concerned, saying that big
meetings had been held at which very
energetic protests had been made against
the proposed divisions Copies of these
dispatches are being displayed tonight, and
one Of them IL to the effect that there is a
sack 81 $4,000 in view for all who Will as
slSt IN creating the new county OF Pomona.
These statements all come from the same
source.
The Associated Irrigators convened this
morning and voted 10 refer all amendments
10 the Wright act to the Committee on
Legislation.

uTy was made last night and the funds
