Mr.. HARMsON made admirable ap-

nothing else that viii reflect credit upon

many things which reflect discredit upon
himself although be may not have been
personally responsible for them. He
must have been influenced TO sign the
sherman Silver Purchase law and the
Mckinley law; 70 urge the Force bill
and approve the Dependent Pension law
He must have been persuaded to send
out that hasty war message against
Chilli, to chase the 'Esmeralda," to re-
tain Pat Egan, TO approve that
villainous steal OF Hawaii. These are
the great mistakes, only, there were in
Vulnerable smaller ones which assisted in
making a more miserable record than any
administration has made since the vul-
gal and scandalous period Of Grant The

not preserve cordial relations with
an ADLER man than he is, consequently

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
The Senate Special Committee Report
Against Them.

The Senate Special Committee Reports
Against Them.
Senator MCGOWAN, Chairman of the
special committee appointed under con-
current resolution to investigate the acts
OF the State Board of Railroad Commits
sioners, handed in the committees re-
port to the Senate yesterday afternoon.
The report is against the Commission
ers and recommends their removal.
Alter referring to its issuance of sub
penas and the appearance of the Com
missioners in response the report goes
on and says that each of the Commission
ers testified fully in his behalf before the
committee, and now the latter finds as
follows:
THAT James W. Rea is and was incom-
petent to discharge the duties of the office
of State Railroad Commissioner, and
that he is now and was guilty of derelic-
ton of duty as such Commissioner, and
we further find that the evidence fully
sustains the allegations of said resolution
that said James w. Rea was and is guilty
of dereliction of duty as such Commits
sioner as defined by the Constitution.
Because of misconception and mis-
understanding of the duties of said office
and want of knowledge upon the business
to be regulated by said commission, the
said j. NJ. Litchfield was and is incompe-
tent, although he has no doubt been de-
sirous of doing his duty in said Office, and
that the charge of said resolution as to the
incompetency of said ]. NJ. Litchfield is
fully sustained by the evidence herein.
THAT William Beckman made an
honest effort to acquaint himself with the
duties of said Office and that he was actu-
ated by good intentions, but because of
his failure to make any effort to investi-
gate the general rates of freights and
fares of transportation companies in the
State; that he made no attempt to compel
transportation companies to adopt and
keep a set of accounts in accordance with
the power given said Commissioner by
the Constitution, and that said Beckman
declared in the thirteenth annual report
of such Commission, that his duties as
such Commissioner were solely of a Judi
cial nature, which declaration we hold to
be at variance with the Constitution, we
further find that the charge of incompe-
tency in said resolution against said Will
lam Beckman is fully sustained by the
evidence herein. From the foregoing the
committee finds as conclusion that said
James w. Rea, J. NJ. Litchfield and Will
lam Beckman, Commissioners as afore-
said, and each of them should be removed
from the office of Commissioners as afore-
said"
I The report was drawn up by Chairman
MCGOWAN, and concurred in by Senators
Seawell, Ostrom and Earl. Senators
Seymour and Mahoney dissent.
Senator Goucher, the remaining mem
Der of the committee, refused to sign the
report, not having heard the evidence.

emily Bill No. 81 have been introduced
by some of your honorable members
looking to such repeal. In this connec-
ton, desire to.say that as consider the
5O-cent limit still binding upon me,
most earnestly recommend that you con-
slider the amount that will necessarily be
pald out in pursuance of the provisions
OF this law, if permitted to stand, as a
part OF the necessary expenses of the State,
and that the amount above named be
considered In excess of the appropria-
tons which you are called upon to make.
am convinced that the State has paid
and will continue to pay for scalps taken
without this State. If bounty is to be
paid, it should be largely reduced in
amount and greater safeguards thrown
| around the proofs required as a guard
| against the possibility of fraud. The
Board of Examiners is helpless. If a
| claim presented is correct in form, it
must be allowed, for all evidence is de-
stroyed before the claim is presented to
the board.
PUBLIC BUILDING.
Senate Bill Nos has already passed the
Senate and is now before the Assembly.
This bill authorizes the appropriation of
$500. 200 for the erection of public build
ing in San Francisco for the accommoda-
ton of the various State officers and en-
ployes located in that city. The idea of
concentrating these officers in some one
building is certainly worthy of favorable
consideration. First, on account of the
convenience to the people of the State, as
it is almost irnDOSsihla for auuOpa NOT
very familiar with San Francisco to ex-
pect to find all of them in much short of a
weeks time. Again, the rent for this
purpose is simply enormous, as it
amounts to over s., 900 per month. If the
State is to pay S24, 600 year for rent it
becomes a grave question whether it is
an economical proposition or not, espe-
| cially as it is presumed that all State Off
GERS should be at the State Capitol, where
abundant room could easily be supplied.
But as matter of convenience and econ
omy there should be some relief in
some direction. 1t has occurred to me
that with a moderate appropriation
good and sufficient accommodations could
be provided in the new building now
being erected by the State Board of
I1drDOr OOnllnlSSlOnerS. Inc location is
central, convenient and eminently proper.
One hundred thousand dollars ought to
be sufficient to provide accommodations
for every purpose, with the possible ex-
ception of that of the Supreme Court of
the State, the location of which ought
probably to remain nearer the new City
Hall. / ask your very careful consider
alton to this DronositiOu
SIN view of the fact that at least SILL
100000 will be required for the mainte-
nance of the various State offices and in
situations during the next two years, and
that at least $500, 600 will be required to
put the several uncompleted public insti-
tutions in condition for successful opera
ton, and especially in view OF the enor-
nous amount of appropriations asked
for, do most earnestly urge that appro-
priations for the absolute necessities of
the State should be first considered and
allowed before those of general charac-
ter,v

was going to look after the restraining
works after the appropriation had been
capitalization the miners had worked
out their mines and HE'D themselves to
Europe or the East to spend their money?
The lmpounded debris would hang over
the valleys, a perpetual menace to them,
ready at any moment to break its letters
and bury the beautiful homes beneath
1t. This would not only mean destruo-
ton to the valleys, he argued, but to San
Francisco harbor as well, and he ex-
horted the members from the bay coun-
Ties to vote against the measure. In con-
ciuslon he protested against State money
being used to assist mining. If the min
ers wanted to work, he said, they should
look after the debris themselves.
DELAY DIsAPPRovED.
Senator Burke.suggested that action on
the bill be deferred so that more thor
ough understanding of its merits might
be had. His suggestion was not ap-
proved however.
Senator Orr expressed the fear that
Congress might not make an appropria-
ton. and then the State would be sup
porting high-salaried Commissioner
and retinue of assistants, with nothing
for them to do.
MIR. Ford eased the Ventura states
mans mind on this score by calling at
tentlon to the provision in his bill which
expressly sets forth that the Commas
sioner shall receive no compensation
whatever, except when engaged in the
actual discharge of his duties. If Con-
gress made no appropriation under the
Caminetti bill then the Commissioner
would have no duties TO perform, hence
no salary. The bill was intended solely
to render assistance to the Government
in carrying out the provisions of the
Caminetti bill. The latter contemplated
the formation of a State commission to
look after certain details, and by the State
showing an interest at this time would
encourage the Government to go further
than it might under reverse circum-
stances. The Government, like individ-
uals, believed in helping those who help
themselves.
The Sierra Senator closed his remarks
with reply to Senator Ostrom's objec-
tons. He warmed up to his subject as
he progressed and treated the Senate to
one of the most eloquent speeches of the
session.
The roll was called and thirty Sena-
tors voted for the bill. Five voted against
