saying he was willing to allow Mr..
Mathews to set himself right with his
constituents, but he hoped the bill
would be finally killed, as it was an
entering wedge to allow the Southern
Pacific Company to work in a local way
and effect compromises with all the
counties.

TO DIVIDE THE STATE.
A resolution regarding the division of
California bobbed up in the Assembly
during the morning session.
1t was declared out of order at the time
IL was proposed, but it will be placed be-
fore the Assembly prior to adjournment.
Mr.. Lynch of San Bernardino offered the
| resolution and said: Southern Califor-
ma has no representative on the State
Board of Equalization. This House has
refused to give us one, to which we are
entitled. The people of the north de-
sire to do all the legislation for the people
OF the south, which is far from being sat-
lsfactory to u.s." He thought California
was big enough for two States, and
offered the following:
WHEREAS, The LEGISLATURE of the State of
CaIIornia has shown Itself in favor of the di-
vision OF territory and has favored the crea-
tloh OF new government entities whenever the
shIIle nave been requested by the people and
refuses portions of the State proper repre-
sentat1on; and whereas the peopIe of the
southern part of the State have long de
Hldhued ana are now justly entitled to the
creation OF Il new State out of the southern
part OF the State of California; therefore be it
Aes0tced, by the Assembly, the Senate con-
| CURING that the consent of the State is here
Dy given TO the creation of q new State out of
that part OF the territory of the State of Cali
lornia which is embraced in the counties OF
san LUIS Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura

Los Angeles and fresno.
AN "INFERNAL RULE"
The resolution introduced in the As
sembly yesterday morning that no one
put members be permitted to occupy
seats at the desks of the members caused
peck of trouble. The resolution was in
troduced at the request of Mr. Gould. 1t
was amended by Mr.. Schlesinger so as
not to exclude members wives from sit
ting in the chamber, but not without op-
position, however. The gray-haired rep
resentative from Yolo, Mr.. Jacobs. pro-
tested. He wanted to know what use
members had for their wives in the As
sembIy chamber. He said they should
stay home and attend to their babies,
An apt reply came from the San Fran
cisco author Of the amendment to the
effect that wives were absolutely neces-
sary to protect the members from the i'm
portunities of female lobbyists.
81 move to further amend the resolu-
ton so it will not apply to persons who
have sense enough to keep their mouths
~ shouted Populist Barlow. By his
side was seated one of his friends who
was as mum as an oyster"
"Out of orderw sharply retorted
Speaker Gould.
II want to know who that gentleman
is sitting by your side, Mr. Speaker p,
followed Mr.. Barlow in the course of a
few minutes. Il want to know what
more right he has got to sit up there with
you than anybody else has to sit with a
member on the floor of this house ?'i
The gentleman referred to was Hon. C.
c. Wright, author of the famous irripa-
ton law and an eX-member of the Assem-
bly,. The Speaker was hesitating and
about to make reply when Mr.. Wright
left his seat and breathed purer air out
side the Capitol building.
A San Francisco gentleman shortly
after was on the floor importuning mem
bers in behalf of some bill. Barlow OBJ
served him. ''If we are to have such an
internal rule obtain here, l insist that it
shall be enforced" he said. And the
man from the Bay left the Assembly as
sisted by one of the Assistant Sergeant
alarms.
SENATORS ALSO FIRED"
Senators Shippee and Hart entered the
Assembly III the course of time, and were
ordered to leave by the usually sleepv
Sergeant-at-Arms. Needless to say, they
were very irate at the great discourtesy
shown them.
Ed. e. Leake, the talented editor of the
Woodland Democrat, and who has a desk
in the Assembly, was also stopped by the
Sergeant-at- Arms. Mr.. Leake protested
that he had right to enter, but he got no
further than the entrance gate. The
matter was referred to Mr.. Gould, who
gave orders for Mr.. Lealle to be permit
ted to enter. When told he could he said:
you tell the Speaker to go plumb to
-, and do not modify my language.
either ~
Mr.. Leake, who has been of great assist
ance to Speaker Gould, walked off and
never entered the chamber for the rest of
the day.
Finally the resolution was modified so
as not to exclude Senators.
Half dozen times during the day Mr..
Barlow got revenge by seeing as many
gentlemen led out Of the chamber by the
Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms.
THE POWDER BILL KILLED.
Senator Williams bill, prohibiting the
location or maintenance of powder
works within five miles of any town,
railroad or navigable stream, met a
humiliating defeat at last nights session.
Senator Burke made hot speech
against the measure, declaring that it was
outrageous and infamous. In Santa Cruz
County there was powder mandatory,
which was in nobody way, was boon to
the community and gave employment to a
large number of persons. This enter
prise would have to close down under
the provisions of the Williams bill. What
would people abroad think of California
