Matthews moved for an evening ses-
sion for the first reading of bills. Car

Afford presented two remonstrances
from citizens of Tulare county protest.
ing against the division of that county.
Bretz requested to be informed
whether the committee on judiciary in
tended to allow him counsel at the bar
of the house. Shanahan stated that no
report had been made, as a quorum was
not present at the meeting of the COM
mittee.
The judiciary committee had decided
during the afternoon by vote of to
to allow counsel for Breiz to defend the
latter at the bar of the house for time
not to exceed one hour.
Speaker Gould announced that Bretz
could not be allowed counsel outside of
the membership of the house, without
the consent of the house.
Shanahan moved the adoption of the
minority report signed by Shanahan,
Afford, Hamilton, Finlayson and Mack,
| against allowing Bretz counsel. The
| minority report was rejscted, IS to So.
A motion, by Matthews of Tehama,
| that Kerns also be allowed counsel, was
lost.
The majority report with regard to al
| lowing Bretz to be represented by coun-
sci was rejected, SO to 3S.
Barlow's resolution that the house re-
solve itself into q committee OF the
whole for the discussion of the Brett
matter, was lost.
Shanahan offered a resolution that
Bretz be forthwith expelled.
Vann offered substitute that Bretz
be acquitted
Bledsoe offered resolution that Bretz
be suspended for one week.
Anderson amended Bledsoe's substi-
tute resolution to include reprimand
from the speaker.
Shanahan then withdrew his original
resolution.
Bretz said he accepted the will of the
house with one exception; he would not
be reprimanded.
Bledsoe's resolution, suspending Bretz
for one week, with Anderson's amend
ment, including q reprimand from the
speaker, was then adopted by vote of
60 to Is.
At the conclusion of the Bretz matter
the house took a recess until evening.
During the debate the chamber was
filed with spectators, who watched the
proceedings with interest.
During the intermission in the after
noon proceedings, Speaker Gould an
nounced as a committee to investigate
the charges made by Railroad Commits
sioner Res against Assemblyman john

SERVICES AT THE CHURCH.

SERVICES AT THE CHURCH.
The funeral procession arrived at the
church at noon, and to an improvisation
on the organ made of several themes Of
hymns which Blaine loved, the distin-
guished concourse moved slowly up the
aisle. The body was deposited at the
chancel rail.
The services at the church were as
simple as at the house, consisting OF the
service for the dead, selections from the
scriptures and prayers.
Then the funeral procession reformed
and the body was conveyed to OAK Hill
cemetery and laid to rest.
AT THE CEMETERY.
At the cemetery, on the successive
terraces that border the winding path
way leading to the grave, scores of spec
tators were standing. Many pressed
forward to pluck flower from the
wreath on the column that adorned the
dead mans bier. The floral tributes
were SO numerous that five wagons were
necessary to convey them to the ceme-
terry, where they were arranged artist
ically back of the grave on u huge strip
of canvas.
CONSIGNED TO THE EAETH.
DR.. Hamlin read the simple burial
service of the Presbyterian church.
This was followed by an extemp orane-
GUS prayer, then came the benediction
and all that was mortal of James Gilles-
pie Blaine was consigned to the earth.
THE SON AT THE GRAVE OF, HIS FATHER.
The interment was over Is minutes
after the cortege entered the cemetery at
l 80 o'clock. Slowly the crowd dis
persed. The president, his cabinet,
senators, the family, all entered their
carriages and were driven away-sll
but one, James G. Blaine, who is junior
no longer, who stood beside the grave Of
his father until the masons had bricked
in the casket and the grave diggers
filled in the remaining space. When
all this was accomplished he returned
to his carriage, and the last of the group
of spectators disappeared.
A SCRAMBLE FOR MEMENToEs.
The. desire of friends who attended
the services at the church to carry away
some memento of the occasion resulted
in the complete stripping of the flowers
from the pulpit and organ rail, almost
before the cortege had fairly begun the
march to the cemetery.
THE CAUSE OF BLAINE's DEATH.
The death certificate gives the primary
cause of Blaine's death as arterio renal
flbrosis "a chronic interstitial nephritis)
and chronic catarrhal pneumonia. The
immodiate cause was.-g, ,diac degenera-
ton and dilatation, Ca mdema of the
lungs.
MIR. BLAINE's WILL.
The will OF Mr.. Blaine will be pro-
bated in Augusta, Maine. The disposi-
ton he makes of his property is charsc
teristic of the confidence he always re.
posed in his wife, and which was such
noticeable feature of his family rela-
ton. Everythingi is left unreservedly &c
Mrs. Blaine. she to be sole executrix
and not required to give any bond. The
estate will amount to about $500 900.
