OF a misdemeanor" He said this was
one of the most absurd provisions of this
absurd bill.
Senator McGowan ridiculed the license
provision of the bill. The idea, he said,
of a hunter following game TO county
line and then having to stop was absurd.
Every hunter would have to take sur
veyor along with him. The bill was an
aristocratic one, and aimed against the
resident who either does not own nor
lease land in county. He cannot invite
his friends to hunt IN his county, but the
rich fellow who does can invite as many
OF his high-toned friends as he chooses.
The Ostrom amendment was adopted
by another heavy vote.
This left the measure in rather daZed
condition-deprived of the very features
its trainers wanted retained.
Senator Goucher saw chance to kill
the bill entirely, and moved to strike out
the enacting clause. He said the bill was
full of bad features, and it could not be
patched UP before the end of the session.
Senators Seawell, Flint and VOORHEES,
pleaded hard to save the bill from such
an ignominious death. They said it con-
tanned one or two redeeming features,
such as extending the closed deer season
and protecting the new game birds which
are being introduced from abroad. They
promised to have all the bad features cut
out of the bill if the Senate would not
kill it, but refer it back to the Fish and
Game Committee instead.
Senator Goucher relented and withdrew
his motion. The bill was then referred
back to the committee.

NO SENSATION YET.
The Investigating Committee Barke
LIN the NNrOne Tree

The Investigating Committee Barked
Up the Wrong Tree.
The Hart Investigating Committee
made another attempt to explode its
bombshell yesterday, but fizzled again,
as will be seen from the detailed report of
the meeting which appears in another
column.
just what the committee expected to
bring to light by the turn the investiga-
ton has recently taken has not yet trans
pired, but the opinion that prevails
among those who profess to be posted is
that General Hart has occupied the posi-
ton of principal attorney for the estate in
the celebrated Blythe cases of san Fran
cisco, and, it is asserted, has been antici-
pating payment for his services in full
upon settlement by the estate. The prop
erty involved is worth something over
S5,000,000 and the fees of the Attorney
General, which, as the principal case has
been decided in his favor, and the others
are being compromised as rapidly as pos
sible, he will receive in few months. at
latest, will amount to something like
S4O0, 900.
Naturally, the costs accruing in the
case have been enormous, and to prose-
cute it 20 a successful termination, the
Attorney-General would have to take
lagos advice, and put money in his
purse"
After the Blythe case had been running
for some time, the firm of CARRIER, Bolt &
Bishop were called in as associates to the
General, and later w. W. Foote was also
brought into the fold.
The committee, say the alleged know
ing ones, reason in this way: II General
Hart had used the $4,000 collected upon
the compromise of the Harbor Commits
sioner cases, in prosecuting the Blythe
case to successful termination, who
would be so willing to advance him that
amount of money upon his expected fees
to arise from the Blythe case, as Career,
Bolt Il Bishop, and who could be so sure
of obtaining value received for the loan
as they, except, probably Mr.. Foote?
That is the case as put by many, and,
probably, believed by few; but every
one has concluded that the committee
have been barking up the wrong
tree.'

ENIERIC,s GAME BILL.
1t is Handled Roughly in the Senate-A
Close Chill

1t is Handled Roughly in the senate-A
Close Call.
The Emeric game bill came up for sec
ond reading in the Senate yesterday after
noon, and, as was expected, it ran against
several snags. In fact, the bill narrowly
escaped being slaughtered outright.
The bill has become known as the
''rich-man's BILL" and has been de-
nounced by hunters all over the State.
AS soon as the bill was read yesterday,
the President ruled that the amendments
offered by the Fish and Game Committee
should be acted on in their order. The
first of these was to strike out the section
which says: Every person who shall at
any time hunt, pursue, take, kill or de-
stroy any quail, bobwhite, partridge,
pheasant, grouse, wild duck or rail in
any county in this State within which he
is not bona fide resident, landowner OF
land lessee, without having first obtained
and paid for q county license therefor in
such county, in such sum as the Board oil
Supervisors shall fix, unless he shall
have been, in writing, previously invited
so TO hunt in such county by some bona
fide landowner or land lessee therein,
shall be guilty of misdemeanor."
A DISGRACE TO THE RECORDS.
Senator Burke championed the amend
ment, and declared that such provision
as it was proposed to eliminate would be
a disgrace to the statutes if placed in
them. Down in his county-Santa Cruz
there was an abundance of game and
lots of good hunting ground, he said, aud
the people there welcomed everybody
who desires to take a shoot in that vi
cinity. They didn't want anyo> " put
to the trouble of taking out a license 81
of begging some rich man for permission
to 90 on his waste land. He hoped the
amendment would be adopted, for he
knew his constituents would not thank
him if he voted tor the bill as it stood I'M
amended.
The amendment was adopted by &
heavy vote.
ANOTHER BAD FEATURE.
Senator Ostrom offered to amend fur
Their by striking out from the section the
provision that every person who shall
IN the night time kill, shoot, or shoot a
any wild duck, in, on, or over any OF tbs
waters within this State, shall be guilty

DON'T LIKE IT NOW.

The DOCTORS Bill'' as Amended Not
Wanted by Some Doctors.
The doctors bill came up for final pas
sage in the Senate at last nights session.
The bill was passed once before, but
was reconsidered and amended and re-
placed on file. The bill in its original
state provided for the appointment of a
Board of Medical Examiners, to consist
OF representatives of each school of medi-
cine, which board should have the say in
future who were entitled to practice
medicine-that is. the board was to eX-
anime oil applicants and decide upon
their qualifications. But about the time
the bill was reconsidered and what was
probably the cause of that action it be-
came apparent that under the bill some
one of the three medical schools could
get control of the board and could then
bar out applicants from the other two
schools-in other words, designate them
as "quacks."
The Senate Judiciary Committee took
the bill after its reconsideration and
amended it by providing for three sepa-
rate examining boards, one from each OF
the three schools-allopathic, homeopathic
and eclectic. They pulled its claws out.
When the bill was reached on the file
last evening, Senator Simpson, who is q
doctor and the author of the bill, asked
permission to withdraw it, and let some
other bill have its place on the file. In
other words, the bill in it's amended state
was of no use to those who were pushing
it.
Senators Earl and MCGOWAN opposed
DR.. Simpsons proposition. The present
law regulating the practice of medicine,
they argued, was crude and full of loop
holes. The Simpson bill, beside creating
examiners, had other provisions that
they considered good. The bill should
take, the place Of the law now in vogue,
they said. Mr.. MCGOWAN concluded his
argument by saying that Senator Simp-
sons position was like that OF the
man who wrestled with bear and got
him down, but he afterward had to cali
for somebody to help him let 60 of the
brute.
There was some further debate on the
matter, and on vote the Senate refused
to allow the doctor to withdraw his bill.
The bill with the amendment was ordered
to the printer.
Senator Goucher thought DR.. Simpson
should have been allowed to withdraw
the bill, and gave notice that he would to-
day move to reconsider the vote whereby
that privilege was denied.

The EneFic Game Bill Gets Some
Rough Handling.
NOT LIKELY TO BECOME A LAW.
Senator Simpson Wanted TO Withdraw The

tigation-ScaIPers' Bill, Etc.

Senator Ford's hydraulic mining bill
was read yesterday afternoon il the AS
sembly for the second time.
Assemblyman Owens of Sacramento
theoretically opposed the bill, and raised
the point of order that the bill was inn
properly on the file for the second read
ing, claiming it had never been read for
the first time since coming from the COM
mittee, although it had been read once
before being committed. The point of
order was overruled, from which decision
Mr.. Owens appealed, but his motion
failed to get a second.
Mr.. Ford's bill provides that hydraulic
mining may be carried on so long as it
does mo material injury to navagible
rivers"
DURsT's AMENDMENT.
An amendment to the bill was offered
by Mr.. burst, which reads as follows:
" 1t shall be lawful to carry on within
this State quartz. placer, drift and hy-
draulic mining; providing, however,
that hydraulic mining shall not be con
Quoted at any point where the same will
directly or indirectly occasion damage to
the navigable rivers of this State or the
tributaries thereof, or the farming lands
and cities thereon or adjoining thereto;
and provided, also. that such hydraulic
mining shall not be carried on at any
point or place by any person, company
or corporation until it shall have been
determined that mining by the hydraulic
method may be carried on at said point
or place without damage to said river and
land by the Debris Commission ap--
pointed and acting under authority of the
Congress of the United States, and per-
mission therefore given by said commits
sion as provided by Act of Congress-"
"My amendment" said Mr.. burst. sis
in the direction of harmony and justice
to all parties interested. The people of
the Sacramento Valley cannot in justice
TO themselves submit to the original
bill if it can be avoided. We want it to
be known, however, and want it placed
on the statute books, that we are not OPP
posed to quartz, drift, or even hydraulic
mining, if the same can be carried on so
as
NOT TO INJURE OUR PROPERTY.
The words material injury are very mis-
leading. Under the amendment I offer
we propose to place ourselves in the hands
of the Commissioner to be appointed I'M
der the provisions of the Caminetti bill,
which, am glad to know, has just been
signed by the President.
1.-The Sacramento River in good naviga-
BILE condition is worth to this valley $780,
000,000 annually, as much as the hydraulic
mines will yield if that industry is re-
habilitated. In the Sacramento Valley
there are S3O0,OO0,O 900 worth of assessable
property, and if the hydraulic mining is
stopped entirely and the rivers dredged,
that amount viii be greatly exceeded"
Mr.. burst was unable to finish his argu-
ment, as the hour of $3.50 o'clock was
reached, when the special order was
taken up and considered.
Further consideration of the bill will be
in order to-day, and a vote will probably
be taken on it.

The Wrong Man.

Several years ago, when land
scape painter was making n very
beautiful sunset picture, he had
one evening succeeded in fixing his
canvas where he could catch the
last fiery glow--a peculiarly gor-
geous one-to Il nicely, when a
well-dressed man came somewhat
hastily round the bend of the road
and seeing the artist, paused to in
quire if he had noticed a gentleman
attired in a suit of rough gray
tweed pass within the last half
hour.
The artist replied that since his
arrival no one had passed the spot.
Whereupon the newcomer briefly
explained that he was in quest of a
gentleman who was a lunatic, and
had, through exceeding cleverness,
given him the slip that morning.
The keeper further remarked that
his patient was to all appearances
as sane as himself. Indeed, he said
strangers had frequently held long
conversations with him without
discovering that he was suffering
from any mental affection.
Just at that moment, approaching
footsteps were heard, and the man,
lowering his voice, exclaimed:
HE is coming! | hear him, so
| will hide behind the hedge, and
you must pretend that have TAX
ell the lower road"
Scarcely had the speaker time to
get behind the hedge when man
attired in rough gray tweed, his
face wearing the wild flush of ex-
element, dashed down the road,
and drawing up sharply in front of
the painters canvas, pantingly de-
manded:
See man pass this way
lately?"
Just few minutes ago."
"A big man dressed in dark
blue?"
IL noticed that he was tall, and
wore dark clothing, certainly"
(which way did he take ?
Quick!
The artist made no reply, but
pointed with his brush towards the
lower road, and in accordance with
this direction the heated pedes-
train dashed off again.
AS soon as he had got out OF
sight and hearing the other man
crept from his hiding-place, and
said:
You did that very cleverly, sir
| must bid you good-day, and GU
across the fields to waylay him.
Then he added a sentence which
caused the artist to start with
amazement. 1t was this: "Be.

would look at my head. You see

to 30 inches, in the great plains
extending from Texas to Dakota,
where the destiny has increased
from l6 to 1871 per square mile.
These figures show that, as
might naturally be expected, in
the variety Of climatic conditions
found in the great expanse of terri
tory constituting the United States,
those most favorable to increase
the number of inhabitants are a
moderate temperature and a mod
