Special to THE HERALD.

Special to THE HERALD.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 90. 3.-The proposed
investigation OF the corruption said to
exist in Sau Francisco and the remedy
for which is now the subject OF agitation
in the Bay city. took up considersb le
time in the senate and assembly today.
The matter will come up in regular
order tomorrow.
Bulla, Of Los Angeles, led the fight
against the proposition of forming an
assembly committee. but the chances
favor the appointment OF special
committee. In this connection the
best legal talent side with Bulls and q
substitute is now under discussion
which may result in the passage OF q
special act providing for the appoint
ment by the governor ola special CON-
mission vested with iull power to make
a searching investigation in all cities
where it may be alleged that fraud ex'
ists.
In New York state the statutes pro-
vide for the appointment by the lsgisla'
ture of committees Of investigation,
such as the Lsxow, with the same
power as court. aud a subp coca issued
from such body is binding in its force.
~ But this stats has no such statute
and the proposed asse nbly committee
will, it ia predicted, fail in its missi on
in consequence. To meet the demand
of the hour in San Francisco may as
sumo the shape outlined above.
THE FUNDING BILL.
The Reilly funding bill was bone
of contention today, and again Los An
gelss came to the front in opposition
to Bledsoe's resolution. Bulla's
amendment was lost and tomorrow the
matter will come up to be fought over
once more. The Los Angeles delegation
are in favor of amending the Bledsoe
resolution by striking out that part
which calls for tho forfeiture Of the
roads to the government; they support
the theory that the mortgage should be
foreclosed in exactly the manner that
ordinary mortgages are settled. and that
the owners OF the property may have
the right to redeem their property after
the claim OF the government has been
satisfied in full.
Senator Androus is improving and
will be able to be out in few days.

pArrrp CLEVELAND ON THE BACK
Cyngratulatory kilograms on His Mes
sage Given Publicity.

Washington, Feb. 3.-UpOn inquiry of
Private Secretary Thurber at the White
house it is learned that the president
has received a very large number Of tel
egrams and letters from prominent cit
liens chambers Of commerce and other
trade organizations in all parts of the
country heartily indOrsing the recon-
mendations contained in his recent mes
sage to congress and recognizing the
necessity for immediate action for the
preservation Of the national credit and
public faith.
In a series of resolutions adopted on
the 31st ult.. the committee on trade of
the Norfolk and Portsmouth Wa) cot
ton exchange says: I'm the opinion of
our merchants il is eminently desirable,
in the close relations we bear towards
foreign countries. that our standard of
value should be the same as other ma
lions Of the first class both for the ex-
tension of commodities and for obtain
ing credit from older nations on easy
terms when desired, and we heartily
indOrse the plans of the president con-
tained in his message, and express the
earnest hope that congress will reduce
them to legal shape at the earliest pos
sibe moment"
From Louisville, Ky. comes a not less
emphatic expression voiced through a
public meeting held by the board of
trade of that city. 1t was resolved
with an abiding faith in the ability of
the government to meet all demands
upon it, we call upon our representa-
tives in congress to sustain the presi-
dent in his efforts to re-establish the
public credit, to restore confidence to
commercial circles and to fix our cur
rency on a stable foundation; that how
ever varied the forms of our currency,
there can be but one standard of value,
and that. by common consent of ma
tons. is gold; that so years after the
close of the war the government should
begin the redemption of its promises to
pay, commonly called greenbacks, is
sued to carry on that war; that the pre-
vailing paralysis of trade is due not to
lack of currency, but to a lack of con-
hdence, and that confidence can not be
restored until it is formally declared by
congress; that our willingness to meet
all obligations is as great as our ability
and this is inexhaustible."
The Milwaukee Chamber of Com

merce urges the immediate adoption Of
a law substantially embodying the rec
concentrations made by the president
in his special message"
Boards of trade and chambers of
commerce i'm Baltimore, Cleveland, Bos-
ton and many other cities of the union
join in substantially the same senti-
ments. A veteran member of the Union
League Club Of New York feels no hes
itatiOn in asserting that he voices the
sentiments of that organization when
he says the presidents message is
strongly and heartily approved.
A Michigan state senator says: The
public faith and honor must be main
tanned. Permit me to congratulate you
upon your recent message to congress-
These are the words of a prominent
New Yorker: IF congress fails to act.
| can see nothing but financial chaos in
the near future, followed by suffering
and disaster at home and shame and
dishonor abroad"
From one of Chicagos most influen-
tial citizens came these words: Il con-
graduate you on your message. You
have cleared the issue and indicated the
only right direction to pursue"
Letters and kilograms of this sort
have been received at the house literally
by the hundreds and they seem to indi-
cate the feeling of the popular pulse in
every section of the land. one of Mis-
souri's most highly honored citizens tel
egraphed as follows Hearty congrat-
ulatiOns upon your able, timely mes
sage. The St Louis Merchants Ex-
change has most justly endorsed and
memorialized congress to enact its rec
concentrations into law"

Napa, Cal. Feb 9.--An awful tragedy
occurred here this morning in the home
Of Peter Miternich. Mrs. Miternich,
while insane, undertook to kill her four
children and succeeded in doing them
all serious injury. Her mania was
religious one and she had the delusiOn
that she had greatly sinned against
God and as a punishment for her sin,
her children were to be sold into SlaV-
cry and she threatened to kill the child
rem to avoid this. Her husband went
away to his work this morning leav-
ing all at home in apparent quiet. but
within half an hour, his wife had taken
an ak and with it fearfully cut and beat
every one of the children. The children
are aged s. and 3 years and one II
months old. They were all struck on
the head, inficting ugly gashes and
awful bruises. They will probably re-
cover. She would have killed all but
the neighbOrs heard the screams and
came to the rescue. The woman was
committed to the asylum.
