lars here, and this is the way one of its
supposed-to-be leading journals maligns
u.s. 1t is very evident the people of Sac
ramento do not appreciate the benefits of
a Legislature, which is shown by the vote
at the last election, when they refused to
extend the session of the Legislature to
100 days"
WILL PUT UP.
Il will guarantee you, gentlemen, that
we will raise the million dollars and give
you site if you will give us the Capitol"
said Colonel Bennett of Santa Clara.
Mr.. Kennedy, of San Francisco, hold
ing a Bee In his hand, read aloud the
headings in that paper and asked if the
members wanted to meet in town where
they would be libeled and their charac-
ters biackened by one of its newspapers.
he said he would not remain one day in
Sacramento If he could help it, and
thanked God that next week would let
him out of Sacramento.
MONTERREY WANTS IT.
Mr.. Duckworth, appreciating what was
intended as joke, moved to strike ont
San Jose and insert Monterey.
"Out of order; your motion is not GER
mane," shouted Speaker Gould.
but insist that it is, Mr.. Speaker"
quickly responded Mr.. Duckworth.
'Sit down, Mr.. Duckworth !" came
rapid reply.
81 want my rights and will have them,"
said Duckworth. "This is despotism and
Czarism which is unbecoming of any
American institution. I insist that my
motion shall be put before this House."
"Sit down! Mr.. Sergeant-at-A Arms,
seat Mr.. Duckworth," said the man in
the chair, who has worn out the gavel in
endeavoring to preserve order.
Mr.. Duckworth took his seat.
I'VE want the Capital, and will give
100000 as bonus," responded Mr..
Androus of Los Angeles.
1.-The only place for the Capital is in
the beautiful county of Alameda-in the
Berkeley hills-where the beautiful
Golden Gate can be seen," said Mr. Nc
Elroy.
SHUT OFF WITHOUT WORD.
Mr.. Anderson, the only Sacramento
representative present, was on his feet
asking recognition. AS soon as he was
seen there were cries for "Question;
question, Mr.. Speaker!"
Point of order, Mr.. Speaker" said
Anderson, this is all"
He was cut short by Mr.. Gould, who
ruled his point out of order before it was
stated.
The roll was called. and when it was
concluded eleven votes were lacking to
make the requisite fifty-four. A call of
the house was ordered, and for an hour
and half everybody joked and talked
about moving the Capital. The Sergeant
at-Arms succeeded in dragging from
their beds number of the members,
while others were found at the theaters
and other places of amusement. Among
those who were arrested were Messrs.
Dodge, who was excused earlier in the
evening on account of illness, Bledsoe
and Hamilton. Enough votes were
secured and the amendment was an
nounced as having passed. During the
roll-call someone answered to the name
of Mr.. Sims, who was not present.
Major Anderson detected the situation.
and the vote credited to Mr.. Sims was
stricken from the roll.
WOULD GIVE RISE TO JOBS.
Mr.. Bledsoe voted no and was given
the privilege of explaining his vote.
There is invested in this Capitol build
ing S5,000,000," he said. SHOULD San
Jose raise S2,OO0,OO0 this State will have to
raise between $3,000O 900 and 81, ,OOO, 900
more, which means that the people of
this State will have to pay that amount
in taxes. There is too much invested
here to give this matter an instants con-
sideration. The erection of a new Cap
itol building will give rise to all sorts of
jobs and scandals"
Mr.. Dodge said he understood all the
furry was created by an article which
appeared in the Bee. He said he was not
to be moved by any newspaper article.
However unjust the newspaper attack
may be, do not believe in springing on
the people without warning a PROPOSE
ton of this kind, and therefore 1 will not
vote for the amendment" he concluded.
FEEBLE VAIL.
Assemblyman Hamilton, who was
elected to represent Placer County, but
who has taken no part whatever in the
proceedings, and who has been in the
house not over a dozen days for the
whole session, SAID he would vote for the
amendment. He said he had the "honor
to represent the little insignificant county
of Placer" If that county was ever i'm
posed upon he said it was by the people
of Sacramento. The mining element had
learned to know their enemies, and now
was his time for revenge.
Mr.. Anderson was recognized by the
Speaker, but before he could say any,
thing he was Interrupted by Barney
Conway, who calculated: mo speech
flying here, Mr.. Speaker"
Mr.. Anderson said he had no defense to
offer for anything which has appeared in
any newspaper. The people of Sacramento
should not be held responsible for what
has been published. 1t does not express
their sentiments.
Mr.. Carlson changed his vote to be with
the majority, to give the people an oppor-
tunity to say whether they want to be
taxed g, ,O00, 600 or so extra.
TREATED WITH CONTEMPT.
Mr.. Duckworth also changed his vote
to be with the majority. In the heat of
passion he said he voted no, but on mature
consideration he thought it was his duty
to vote for his neighbor county, Santa
Clara. He spoke about the protest he
offered to Speaker Gould's ruling in de-
claring his motion to substitute Monterey
out OF order. II was prompted by hon
est motives in offering the notion" he
said. "The Speaker of this house treated
me unfairly, but his actions 1 treat with
contempt"
Mr.. Mordecai gave notice that to-day he
would move for reconsideration of the
