THIRD HOUSE GOSSIP,
Chips and Tips From the Political
Wheel.

Wheel.
Seymour of San Bernardino will fight
the Riverside County division bill when
it come to the Senate. San Bernardino
County will be obliged to give up less
than 600 square miles of her territory.
and in her avoved objection to the sub
division proposed there is to be found a
deeper reason than that relating to a
question of land. She will be compelled,
If the measure CARRIES, to pay into the
treasury Of the new county the snug sum
of Sl50,000. With a new Courthouse un-
der way, which it is proposed to make the
county pay for, it is no marvel that San
Bernardino refuses to give up the fertile
and productive territory that has made her
what she IS to-day.
A warm contest is now in progress
among members of the San Francisco
Assembly delegation as to the proposed
Introduction OF resolution impeaching
the Railroad Commission. The members
are about equally divided as to the pro-
priety of this action, and the faction in
favor of it are quarreling as to who shall
father the measure. 1t seems that they are
all anxious for this distinguished honor
which carries motive too well known to
need mention. The complaints against
the Commissioners during their term Of
office have generally come from the inte-
rior, and yet it remains for the San Fran
cisco delegation to initiate the agitation,
probably from the sympathy that they
entertain for the suffering country.
Fleet l.. Strother of San Francisco
came up yesterday and went at once to
/ Mr.. Whites headquarters. He says he
is looking for an appointment as Minister
to Milpitas and needs the support OF Mr..
White. Srother is Of the opinion that
White will get sixty-niHe votes.
Assemblyman q. w. Mordecai of Ma
dera will introduce a bill asking for
division of Fresno County. Grifliths and
Ash of MADEIRA are now in town in the
interest of this measure, which seems to
have found little opposition.
Perkins will not make a contest for
complimentary vote on the Senatorship.
Quinn is here for FELTON,. but as FELTON,
is not for himself, nothing startling can
be expected in this direction.
Senator Martin, representing Placer
and El Dorado, has twelve speeches in
course of preparation to be delivered dur
/ ing the present session.
Casterleue of San Jacinto will intro
duce bill calling for the formation OF a
new county out of northern San Diego
with San Jacinto as the county seat.
The Democratic party took a fortune
from Sid Lacey and fifteen years Of hard
work. In return for this unusual dona-
ton he was refused the office of Sergeant
at-Arms, the only thing he ever asked
for.
Shanahan will stand for White, though
the interior supporters of the prospective
Senator defeated him for the Speaker
ship.
Tim Sullivan of San Francisco arrived
yesterday, and is looking over the
ground.
There is no truth in the rumor that
James v. Coleman has entered the Sena-
torial fight.
Gator is losing his hold on the solid
eight, and despite their promises to fol-
low blindly, several desertions are openly
threatened.
Foote is one of Whites most active
workers, and played an important part
in bridging the Lynch gulf on Tuesday
morning.
The naming of committees will be con-
cluded tomorrow, at which time it is
probable an adjournment will be taken
until Monday, when the real work of the
session will commence.
Edmond Godchaux, representing the
Fortieth Assembly District of San Eran-
