special to THE MORNING CALL

SACRAMENTO, March IA sense OF Sc
curity has settled upon the San Jose con-
tincent. They now feel confident that the
Garden City has won the capital, for they
have no lingering doubt but that the people
of the State will ratify at the polls the action
of the Legislature. They took no chances.
however, on a snap judgment being taken
on them, for they remained here all day and
all night. There was some talk of sack
being used by the Sacramentans to-day to
lift the matter from the table and kill it. but
the san Jose people we've on the alert. and
it would have been difficult to have accom-
plished anything of the kind without their
knowledge.
San Jose has extended a cordial invitation
TO all of the members of both houses to
visit that city, and an excursion train will
leave here at Il O'Clock tomorrow. Great
preparations have been made by the resi-
dents Of San Jose for the proper entertain
ment of the statesmen.
In the Senate this afternoon Hart rose 10
another question Of privilege on the re-
moysl Of the State capital. He directed his
efforts toward getting his vote changed
from ave to no. This would have killed
the amendment. VoOThies also declared
that he had been recorded as voting aye
Reddick would not permit the vote to be
changed. The Sacramento lobby that had
gathered in the chamber in the hope that
something might come of it then walked
sadly away.
During the evening another effort was
made to drag up the amendment removing
the capital TO San Jose. MOTdecai under
took it, but was fearfully showed under.
This was the last despairing attempt of
the Sacramentans to hold the State building
where it now is.
AS the hours of the long recess which was
taken by the Legislature ostensibly to al
low the county government bill to be en-
crossed wore away rumors were rife
about the Capitol Il was reported that
Immediately on reconyening the resolution
to move the capitol would be taken from the
table. 1t was certain that another effort to
reconsider would be made. The San Jose
faction have relaxed their efforts and the
last vote showed a decided gain for Sacra-
mentO.
TindaIl of Mendocino stated to a friend
late tonight that he had been offered $500
10y the Sacramento forces for his vote in
bringing up the capitol removal amendment.
The news was at once conveyed TO Barney
Murphy of San Jose, and fhe closest watch
TO be handling the coin. The Sacramento
people are desperate.
AtI:30 this morning it is definitely known
that Sacramento has a $4,000 sack in the
lobby, and that offers Of $500 were openly
made to members to stand 10 TO kill the
amendment.
The hitch is that the boOdling members
insisted upon getting money down before
they voted. This the Sacramentans would
not do.
The Assembly is now holding a recess.
and when it recouvenes Tindall has de-
Clared that he viii announce that bribe of
500 was offered him. Others are expected
10 do the same thing.
Kahn, who voted with the Sacramento
people after hearing the Doodle talk, has
declared that he will change his vote if the
matter is brought up.
2:3O A. M.-Saeramento has decided to
give up the fight, and with this understand
lug Tindall will not make the statement,
and no exposure is likely to occur.
An adjournment will likely not be had be-
fore A. NJ. on account of the county gov
ernment bill being delayed oD enrolment.
On Monday there appeared about the
Capitol a typewriter letter, signed by
George q. Stipp. in which some very un-
pleasant things were said OF Sacramento
In some Of the newspapers of the coast the
delegation Of citizens here from San Jose
was given Rs the author of the reflections
The delegation held special meeting and
passed strong resolutions denying any con-
inection whatever with the article as sent
out by Mr. Stipp. The delegation repre-
senting the city of San Jose desires it under
stood as its fixed policy to say nothing re-
fectIng on Sacramento or her people.
