MGOWAN'S HARD FIGHT.
Killing of the Bill by Amend
ment to 1t in the
Senate.
INSERTING THE WORD MALE"
During the Debate on the
Measure.

SACRAMENTO, March 8.-The battle for
woman suffrage before the present Legisla-
ture has been fought and lost. After get
ting an enactment extending the right of
elective franchise to women safely through
the Assembly it was killed to-day by an
amendment by Gesford CD of Napa in
sorting the word male" and by thus spe-
eifying the sex of electors multiplying the
bill SO far as women voters are concerned.
When the bill came up for third read
ing MCGOWAN (R.) of Humboldt cham
pioned its passage. A large number of
women were in attendance, and standing
room in the lobby was at a premium.
After few speeches Gesford's amendment
was adopted by vote of % ayes against 10
noes.
MCGOWAN promptly moved to reconsider.
He expressed surprise at the action of the
Republicans, and urged them to return to
the path of duty. In the name of Garfield,
of Lincoln, and other great party leaders
he asked hayward Republicans to return
to the fold and obey the dictates of the
party platform. In honor and conscience
the Senators were bound to vote for the
pending bill and against the amendment.
Pedlar (R. } of Fresno spoke for the bill and
Gesford and McAllister CD of Marin
against it. Gesford called attention to the
fact that MCGOWAN, as chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, had decided the bill
to be uncon stitutional. Gesford favored
considering the matter by constitutional
amendments rather than by enactment.
Gleaves (R.) of Shasta favored passing
the bill and letting the Supreme Court set
tie its unconstitutionality
Earl (R.) of Alameda thought woman
suffrage unwise, but said he would be
bound by the dictates of his party so far
as to vote for an amendment to the consti-
tuition, but he declined to vote for an I'M
constitutional bill. To do so, he felt, he
would defeat the educational qualification
demanded oy the popular vote at the last
election.
Simpson (R.) of Pasadena, Aram (R.) of
Yolo and Wilmington (R.) of San Diego
took the ground that no unconstitutional
bill should have their vote
Martin 3D. of Placer made humorous
talk, in the course of which he said no
married man would favor suffrage for
women. He hoped the vexed question
was so dead it would never hear Gabriers
horn.
Matthews (D.) of Los Angeles made a
vigorous speech against the bill and then
MCGOWAN again took up the cudgel for the
women in an eloquent speech.
The Senate refused to reconsider the
amendment by the following vote:
Ayes-Bert, Buggy, Earl, Ford, Franck,
Heaves, Hart, Holloway, Hoyt, Mahoney, Nc
Gowan, Orr, Pedlar, Seymour, Shine, Smith

THE SENATE.
THE QUESTION OF FINAL ADJOURN
MENT CONES UP AGAIN.

SACRAMENTO, March S.-A stirring de-
bate took place in the Senate this morning
over the question of final adjournment. 1t
was finally decided to put the matter over
until Monday.
Senator Martin made his usual protest
that the sixty days contemplated by the
law had expired and that it was time to go
home. AS the matter stands a resolution
has passed the Senate to adjourn on
Thursday next. This resolution may be
reconsidered on Monday.
The Assembly has taken no action.
There is little prospect of an end of the
session before Saturday. March &c.
A wrangle followed Senator Ford's mo-
ton to call the roll backward for the plac-
ing of bills on the urgency file, and the
whole subject was laid upon the table,
The report of the conference committee
on the general appropriation bill was
passed. Senator Seawell protested against
the treatment accorded the Mendocino
insane asylum, the appropriation for
which was reduced from $180,OO0 to
$145, 900.
When The Governors message was read
advocating the consolidation of the man
agements of the various insane asylums
under single board, as provided for in
Seymour's bill, Martin made one of
his characteristic speeches. He favored an
appropriation to provide cells at the
asylums for most of the Senators and
added that "In view of the Governors
message, our Democratic Governor have a
cell by himself"
Senator Martin is excused for the rest
OF the session." declared Senator Nc
Gowan, who occupied the chair, abiding
to the Senator's announcement that the
sergeant at-arms could not keep him here.
McGowan's mutual insurance bill was
passed.

the special file providing for building
Tor The State offices in San Fran
cisco, as the Governor intimated that
he would sign one bill carrying an appro-
priation for a building in San Francisco
and the affiliated colleges had the execu-
tive favor. There will be no new building
provided for at Berkeley this session.

in logging camps was defeated was lost.

LEXOW BILL SIDETRACKED.
THE ASSEMBLY REFUSES TO Dis
CUSS IT AS URGENT.

SACRAMENTO, March st became evil
dent this morning that the Assembly was
weary of the continual taking up of its
time by those intent upon reforming San
Francisco by main strength. Judge Way
mire asked that the constitutional pro-
vision in regard to the consideration of
bills be suspended in order that his partic-
ular Lexow bill, which is buried AGA deep
on the file, might be brought to the top of
the list, and passed on this afternoon at
half-past 8.
He Immediately began to explain that
he did not expect its final passage, but
hoped to amend the bill so that it would
be satisfactory, and began reading an
elaborate essay. AS the Alameda Assem-
blyman was clearly out of order, half
dozen members were on their feet object
ing.
Later, the House, at the request of the
opponents of the bill, allowed him to take
fifteen minutes more to finish the Judges
proposition.
When Mr.. Waymire had concluded, he
moved that his bill be made the special
order for $3.50 o'clock tomorrow. This
would require a two-thirds vote of the
position could only rally thirty-five friends.
Among these there were but two San
Franciscans. These were Isaac NJ. Merrill
(R.) and Calvin Ewing (Pop.).
The vote was as follows:
Ayes-Ash, Barber, Bassford, Belshaw. Bled-
soc, Coleman, Collins, Dale, Dodge, Ewing,
Fassett, Gay, Glass, Guy, Hall, Hudson, John

NIGHT SESSION.
The ASSEMBLY BREAKS It's RECORD
IN THAT LINE.

SACRAMENTO, March 8.-For general dis
turbances to-night's session in the Assem-
bly, beat the record.
Speaker Lynch's rulings were criticized
and he grew angry. Clerk Duckworth's
motives in his manner of calling the roll
were questioned and he grew angry and
talked back. The Assemblymen did every
thing but call each other names and the
railroad was at the bottom of the whole
row.
The bill about which the trouble was
raised was that limiting stcp-over privi-
leges to what the railroad company might
see fit to give An uproar arose almost
before the clerk had ceased reading the
BILL
The railroad men were under better gen.
erals than their opponents, and before an
amendment could be offered, the previous
question that was, the third reading of the
bill was demanded. The other side de-
manded a call 9th House. A roll call was
taken on this and the motion lost.
Then a vote was taken as to the previous
question. The result was a clean-cut d.
vision of the friends and the opponents of
the Southern Pacific Company. The 1856
men voting for the previous question were
the men whose vote has gone with the
railroad on almost every issue. They
were:
Ash, Bassford, Bettman, Boothby, Brusie,
Butler, Coghlin, Collins, Cutter, Davis, Devlne,
Dewitt, Dixon, Freeman, Gay, Hatfield, Kelsey,
Kenyon, Laird, Laugenour, Lewis, Mccarthy,
McKelvey, Merrill, o'Day, Pendleton, Phelps,
Powers, Richards, Swisler, Thomas, Tibbitts,
Wilkinson
The thirty-eight men opposing the
motion have of late been voting against
the railroad, though at least one of them
has accepted favors from the road during
the last session. The men voting no were
Bachman, Barker, Belshaw, Bennett, Bled-
soc, Bulla Cargill, Coleman, Dale, Dinkelspiel.
Dodge, Dunbar. DIVER, Ewing, Fassett, Glass,
Guy, Hall, Holland, Hudson, Johnson, Jones,
Keen. Meads, Nelson, North, Osborn Price,
Reid, Robinson, Rowell, Sanford, Spencer, Sta
ley, Stansell, Wade, Waymire, Weyse.
There were seven members absent,
Messrs. Berry, Healey, Huber, Llewellyn,
Tomblin, Twigg and Wilkins.
OF these three are pronounced railroad
men and fourth is doubtful
When it was decided to read the bill a
third time, Dodge introduced an amend
ment to change the sense of the bill He
had sent his amendment forward and was
waiting to speak the question when
Laugenour began to move for the previous
question.
The House was alive in a moment.
Dodge yelled at Laugenour, go sit down.
We have had enough gag law here" as he
walked rapidly toward him. Both men
were angry and their strife increased the
clamor around them.
Dodge was prevented from saying more
by the actions of his friends, while
Laugenour's friends demanded that
Dodge's words be taken down on the
journal.
The House quoted for while, but soon
was as bad as ever. Dodge's amendment
was carried, the railroad members voting
for it.
Belshaw moved to strike out the enact
ing clause of the bill. This was lost, Gay,

Immediately due and payable upon assessment
and shall be collected by the Assessor as pro-
vided for in this chapter.
The provision sin this chapter" is new
section, entitled section 1881, which reads
as follows:
Within fifteen days after the first Monday in
August OF each year the Auditor of the county,
or city and county, must make a careful exam
ination of the assessment book or books of the

count TO the Assessor and demand from him
that the amount or amounts SO rem aiming IN
collected shall be paid into the county treas
ury within fifteen days from the date of said

The section goes on to provide remedy
if the Assessor does not comply. And this
bill passed the Assembly, and is now on
the special Assembly file of the Senate with
a favorable recommendation from the
Committee on Revenue Laws and the Com
mittee on Judiciary. 1t was read for the
first time to-day.
Sheriff Wkelan's scheme to secure the
repeal of the fee law, which Senator Fay
succeeded in having passed, has a COM
panion piece in this proposed act in the
interest OF the Assessor of the City and
County of San Francisco.
Senator Buggy discovered the situation
of affairs tonight and will make vigorous
fight against the passage OF these amended
laws, which would convert the Assessor
office into personal mint, and he will
have staunch support from Senator Fay.
The discovery is the sensation in legisla-
tive circles tonight. 1t is the talk of the
San Francisco delegation. The county
government bill comes up for final passage
tomorrow.

From the Riviera there arrive every

of them proceed to Manchester. Liverpool

their fragrance to the last, and are much
esteemed at time of year when our own

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, March 8.-The

safety are entertained, carried lumber from
Seattle, instead of Tacoma, as stated in the
dispatches. She is now out ninety-five
days on her voyage to Shanghai, which
usually is made in forty-five days at the
outside. AS the Colusa is looked on as a
seaworthy vessel shipping men here are of
the opinion that she ran into typhoon
and was wrecked. Captain Backus of the

learned on unquestioned authority from
a gentleman in this city that very i'm
portant concession from the Mexican Gov
eminent was ten days ago granted by the
Minister of Fomento to J. NJ. Wiley, a
member of the International Oil Refining

This concession permits the company to
explore and develop the oil and coal fields

ment protection in so doing.
The fact that there is oil in great quanti-
ties in certain States of Mexico has been
known for years, but this company is the
first one that has undertaken to develop
the fields
Harry J. Neale, former leading legal
light of San Diego, is the attorney and
manager of the company, with Offices in

SAN DIEGO, March s. The discovery of
an attempt to swindle hamburger here
resulted to-day in the issuance of war
rant for the arrest of J. Walmer, a real
estate dealer, on the charge of forgery.
The complaint alleges that he affixed the
name of B. Etcheverry to a deed on or
about September 10, 1894, for the purpose
of fraudulently selling the property. The
accused secured bail in $1,000 and was re-
leased from custody. Meanwhile the in
