The Assembly,

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.-The Assembly
met at 10 o'clock.
The Electric Bill, which shuts out San
Francisco from using overhead wires, came
up on special order.
Brown of Calaveras offered an amend
ment to DiDble's amendment striking out
the clause which excludes San Francisco.
DIbble, in talking on the amendment, had
said that the Mayor had vetoed the
electric railroad franchise, but had failed
to state that Mayor Pond vetoed it simply
because the code did not permit the use of
electricity as motive power for street rail-
ways.
Brusie said that Dibble was marshaling
his forces in the interest of cable roads in
San francisco, and read the names of promi-
nent men in that city who favored the cleo
trio system.
Arms of San Francisco declared that Dib-
BILE miSrepreSented the desire of the city
people. They were. in tact, in favor of the
electric roads, because it was a system
which would do much toward building up
the city and suburban sections of the me-
tropols.
Bert of San Francisco read the petition
oil citizens favorable to the roads. There
were many signatures OF prominent men.
Bruner sided with Dibble. and scored
brown for undertaking to legslate for San
francisco. He said the measure did not
affect Calaveras.
freeman OF Amador said he believed that
country members were in a better position
10 legislIte upon the question than those
who were more directly interested. He un-
derstood that the people of san Francisco
wanted electric roads, so that they could
ride 10 the ocean beach for 3 cents instead
OF paying 10, as they do now.
Dennis OF San Francisco declared In favor
of cable roads, He sneered ut the siguers
of the petition. ''Who are Montague, Gar
rett Alvord and those menu" he ASKED
They are all interested in the mechanical
work of laying down electric roads,"
Robertson took the floor against Dibble's
amendment He said he might be accused
OF Inconsistency. but he would rather stand

Chicago for this city last evening" and are
expected to arrive here by Saturday noon Z.
Colonel Robinson stated last night that he
is not ready TO give all the names of his
new team. Some of the players signed may
have little trouble in getting away from
their clubs. and hence the Colonel desires to
keep quiet until his men are on their way
to Oakland. Mr.. Robinson says that there

serts that he expects his nine to beat the
other clubs Mt batting and base-running.

uniform. The other will be a uniform of
dark gray with black cap, stockings and belt.
The uniforms will be close fitting and will
be the only ones in use outside of the Chi
ca9o club. Mr.. Spalding, who is a friend
OF the Colonel, made the uniforms at his es-
Enlistment. Mr.. Robinson states that the
club VIII leave for the interior of this State
on the 9TH OF March and will travel until the
20th, and VIII open the season at Sacra-
mento on the 22d inst.
Through the kindness of the Colonel the
names OF some of the members of the new
Oakland nine are herewith given:

lantic Association has been signed as twirl-
er. He is said TO have good record and is
still fresh in the box. The second pitcher

Oaklands last year. He has no. been
signed yet, but he can't play in California

ing to give him S160 month. LOhman is

Minneapolis Club. has been signed by O'Neil

ably play first base. The Colonel is not
ready to announce the name of his second
baseman.
Ira Phillips has been signed to play the
member Of the Detroit Club and last season
played in the Northwestern League. The
Colonel believes him TO be one of the best
men he has signed. Captain O'Neil will
play third base. He played the same posi-.
ton for the Colonies last season. Joe Cam
tlllon will play left field this season. His
record with the club last season was good
one.
Danny Long has made the Colonel propo-
sltl0n to play center field, and he will be

Before the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE House
Coinage Committee gave hearing tonight
to a delegation from Philadelphia and
another from the New York Chamber of
Commerce in opposition to the pending
Free Coinage Bill.
letter was read on the subject of free
coinage from Robert Patterson of Philadel-
phia. grandson of the Mint Director
under President Jefferson and an ac-
knowledged financial authority. He took
the ground that no special harm
would result to the commercial inter
ests of the country with either gold
or silver as money basis. but with two
standards one or the other must 90 to n
premium and thus destroy the financial
equilibrium of the country.
A long letter from Abraham S. Hewitt
was read. He, though a siiver-m!ne owner
himself and smeter of silver, saw gpeat
danger from the passage of the pending
measure. He believed in silver to a certain
point. aud just so long as the danger lire is
not passed that drives gold to a premium
He expressed the fear that the line would be
passed before many years even at the pres
ent rate OF coinage.
