Been Agreed Upon
KNELL OF THE CIGARETTE
Anti-High Theater Hat Legislation in
the Assembly
More Juggling With the Appropriation
BilIs-..One Fair VIII Probably Come
to Southern California

Sacramento, Feb. 20.-The military bill
was agreed upon in committee this even
ing 1t provides for three brigadier gem
erals, one south of Tahachepi, but re-
quires that generals should all have served
at least two years in the National Guard.
That does not mean, however that they
should be now serving the two years, but
that they should have served it some time
in their lives. 1t is possible this provis-
ion may be amended when the bill comes
up for discussion.
The cigarette bill passed today. 1t
makes it misdcmeanor to sell or give
away cigarettes, but does not go into eff
feet for six months after the bill is signed
by the Governor. The object OF this de-
lay is to give plenty of time for tobacco
dealers to dispose of their stock in bond.
The consttutionality of the bill is dis
puted by many lawyers who say similar
measures in other states have been sue
cessfully contested. 1t is said that whole
sale dealers will combine to contest its
constitutionaity in California.
The Controllers estimates for the eX
penses OF the state for the next two fiscal
years were reduced $500, 600 by repeal of
the statute giving assistance to INDECENT
and aged paupers. Langford's bill to
make five district fairs in the state will
be considered by the Agricultural Com
mttee of the Senate tomorrow morning.
Many Senators seem TO favor it, 1t gives
one fair to Southern California.

Hit deprecated the partisanship in the
discussion of this question. The provi-
sion for the cable had been placed in the
bill in the Senate by the Joint debates OF
patriotic men, Democrats and Republ-
cans. He recalled the history of the past
projected cable companies which contem-
plated the building of a submarine cable
to Honolulu. All had failed because OF
the failure of one government or the
other to subsidize them. The people
were opposed to subsidies. The cable
would not be built by private capital; 1t
must be built, if it is built at all, by the
Government. He called attention to the
recommendation in President Cleveland
message of 1885, that there should be cable
communication between the Hawaiian
Islands and the United States, and to his
reiteration of that recommendation in
1888. Today battleships costing millions
had been authorized. To make ships
effective in case of war, cables were ncces
sary.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Hits remarks,
without action on his motion, the House
at 5 80 p. m. adjourned.

MET WITH CRUSHING DEFEAT
Enemies of the New Warships
Raked Fore and Att
SAVERS MOTION DEFEATED
An Amendment Providing for Two
Torpedo Boats Passed
The Proposed Cable to the Hawaiian Islands
Again Discussed, But No Action
Was Taken

Washington, Feb. 20.-The opponents of
the new battleships for the navy suffered
a crushing defeat today when Mr.. Sayres'
motion to strike out the authorization
for war vessels was lost, first in the com
mittee OF the whole on a vote of 43 to l4l,
and later in the House, by vote of 81 to
199 After Mr.. Sayres' motion had been
defeated, Mr.. Cannon of Illinois attempted
TO have an appropriation first OF So 0OO, 600
and later of s., 600, 900 inserted in the bill
for building the ships authorized, but
both propositions failed.
Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa succeeded in hav-
ing an amendment adopted for the
building of two torpedo boats on the Mis-
sissippi River, and Mr.. Sayers added a
provision to the item 70, srmor appropri-
alton, to the effect that no higher sums
should be paid by this Government for
armor or gun steel than was paid to tie
contracting firm for similar material fur
nished other Governments. The naval
bill as passed authorizes the construction
OF three battleships to cost, exclusive of
armament, Si 900, 900 each, and twelve
torpedo boats to cost S170, 600 each.
After the bill was passed some time was
spent in the discussion OF the Senate
amendment to the diplomatic and con-
sular bill approprating $500, 900 for laying
a submarine cable between the United
States and Hawaii, but no action was
taken upon it.
Mr.. Chandler created something OF a
sensation in the Senate late today by
outlining some important steps TO be
taken by the next Congress. including a
congressional investigation of the recent
purchase of gold by the President OF the
United States. The speech came unex-
pectedly as an incident to the debate on
the Indian appropriation bill.
During the early hours of the day the
silver bill made its exit from the Senate.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas, in charge of the
measure, announced that its friends
would make no further effort to pass it at
the present session.
The disposal OF the measure was em-
phaszed by the decisive vote of ffty-fve
to twelve on German 5 motion to take up
the Indian appropriation bill, the effect
of which was to displace the silver bill
and send it back to the calendar.
Wolcott' resolution, declaratory for sill
yer but postponing action, also went to
the calendar without final action. 1t was
discussed briefly today. Higgins opposed
it as meaningless.
Manderson proposed an amendment
urging an international bimetallic agree
ment.
The speech of Chandler significantly
urged that the time was near at hand
when the Republican party must take
affirmative action on bimetallism.
Most of the day was given to the Indian
appropriation bill, final action not being
taken.

UNRAVELING A TANGLE
The House Loses Time in Trying to Correct
Mistake

Washington, Feb. 20.--At the opening
of the session of the House, some time
was spent in unraveling a tangle pro-
duced by the passage by the House under
a misapprehension OF bill to increase
the pension OF Thomas Corrigan, late of
Company B, Eighth Illinois Infantry, to
$50 per month.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole and resumed consideration
of the naval appropriation bill. When
the paragraph providing for the author
ization of three new battle ships and
twelve torpedo boats was reached Dolliver
offered an amendment providing that two
of the torpedo boats should be built on
the Mississippi River.
Talbot in charge OF the bill, accepted
the amendment.
An amendment by Mr.. Sayres to strike
out the item for the authorization of three
battle ships at cost, exclusive of arma-
ment, OF $4,000, 900 each, was lost after
considerable debate Mr.. Sayres, in clos
ing for the opposition, frankly admitted
that he did not expect his amendment TO
carry. The Cramps were here, he said
Last Saturday Cramp had boasted that
this bill would pass. The Cramps had re-
ceived $22, 000,0 600 from the Government
and Andrew Carnegie 81, 000, 600. Millions
had gone to the Pacific Coast. These
companies we're powerful; their friends
were powerful and he did not therefore
expect to carry his amendment.
When the committee rose and reported
the bill to the House, Mr.. Sayres moved
to recommit it to the Committee on Naval
Affairs, with instructions to report it
back after striking out the provision for
three battle ships. The motion was de-
feated, 81 to 1879, and the bill was then
passed without division.
Mr.. McCreary, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs then called up
the conference report on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill. He ex-
planned that the House conferees had re-
fused to agree to the Senate amendment
appropriating $4,000 for a submarine
cable to the Hawaiian Islands, and he
would ask the House to further insist on
that disagreement.
Mr.. Hit, Republican of Illinois, moved
that the House recede from it's disagree
ment. Mr.. McCreary speaking in opposi-
ton to the motion, contended il was
against the established policy of the Gov
ernment to embark in the enterprise of
building submarine cables. He held it
should be condemned and defeated. II
entered upon, he stated, this work would
ultimately cost 81, 900, 900. No country,
nc said had caused us more excitement
and annoyance than Hawaii. He said we
had lost S,6, 900. 900 through the treaty
negotiated in 1876, permitting the free
importation OF sugar and rice
BoutclIe challenged McCreary's state
mont that We had not enough commercial
Intercourse with Honolulu to warrant a
submarine cable. More American tonnage
entered and cleared ut that port of Homo
lula tllan at any port of the civilized
wpild.
Il prefer Il submarine cable, " said Bou:
