place Laugenour had announced the vote
Reid wanted second expression on tn e
amendment but was ruled out of order
by the chair, who ordered the clerk to
proceed with the reading of the next Sec
ton of the bill.
II appeal from the decision of the
chair, shouted Reid.
A laundering vote upheld the chair.
Reid still objected, and Laugenour or
dered him to take his seat. Instead of
doing so Reid yelled at the top of his voice
that he protested against having things
railroaded through in the way they were
being done.
He called upon Speaker Lynch to go
back to the chair, and made personal at
tack upon Speaker pro tenn. Laugenour,
who, finding that his orders had no
effect in quieting the noisy noun
tain member, called on the sergeant
alarms to make the member keep still.
This had no effect and Reid was put
under arrest, Sergeant-at-Arms Lamphrey
marching him before the bar of the house.
There was no noise then.
AT this junCture a Democratic member,
thinking that Reid had been sufficiently
under the arrest be dropped, and the men,
Der was allowed to take his seat. He was
quite orderly the rest of the evening.
Finally all the valuable Senate amend
ments were adopted.
Further amendments were shut off by
moving the previous question. This was
carried.

Dodge OF Alameda made a vigorous pro-
test against Boothby's bill to allow six
round boxing contests with five ounce
gloves. The Alamedan wanted to intro
duce an amendment to make it man.
slaughter if a man were killed in such a
contest.
Boothby made speech for his bill. De-
vine OF San Francisco seconded his efforts.
Bledsoe denounced the bill as Ubiquitous,
and said it was an insult to the House to
introduce such measure.
What do you know about boxing con-
tests, anyhow" asked O'Day of San Fran
cisco, whS favored the measure.
81 know men have been killed in the
prizering," was the answer.
Boothby here challenged any one to
name an instance where man had been
killed in a contest carried on under condi-
tions such as were provided in the bill. He
then argued the value of the measure and
the uselessness of Dodge's amendment,
which would only delay the bills passage
Dodge's amendment was voted down
The passage of the bill was then put to the
House. Only thirty-fve votes could be
rallied in its favor and it was defeated.
Dwyer gave notice that he would move
to reconsi der, and, as forty-nine men have
promised to vote for the bill, it is probable
that it will eventually be passed
No opposition was made to the general
appropriation bill to-day. It was passed
this morning without comment by vote
of 81 to .. The two voting in the negative
were Barker of Santa Barbara and Jones of
San Joaquin, both of whom took this
means OF expressing their disapproval of
the amounts allowed.
Bledsoe of Humboldt wanted to amend
the bill appropriating $4,000 to establish a
system of ventilation for the Capitol by
reducing the sum to $4,000. This was lost.
After lively skirmish the bill was finally
refused passage, only 81 votes being cast in
the affirmative.
