ments to the charter OF Oakland as
agreed upon at the special election last
Saturday. By unanimous vote the reso.
luton was concurred in.
Tho question OF the Reilly funding
bill early in the morning session pro-
voked an acrimonious debate. Blsdsos
OF Humboldt began the trouble when q
message OF the senate WAS received an
nouncing the passage in that body of the
MCGOWAN substitute to the assembly
resolution against the Reilly bill.
Bledsos charged that tho MCGOWAN
resolution was q Southern Pacif c
scheme. Such . resolution, not de-.
msnding foreclosure Of the govern me n t
liens against those railroads, but prao.
tically demanding . oonfisoation of the
railroads BY the secretary OF war, was,
Biedsoe alleged, an absurdity ON ito face,
and 1t was such an absurdity that the

Blsdaos referred 10 the remarks made
BY Senator ho(4owan. on the floor OF
the senate yesterday, in which Mellow

bitter attack aptn Blsdsos. He charged
the member from Humboldt with pursu.

notoriety. He said the petty quar- rel
which the legislature had been thrown
into was Humboldt county affsir, an d
had no place in the legislature. Bulla
OF Los Angeles came to Blsdsoe's sup
port. He said that after such an ex-

Assemblyman Bledsoe should DO heard,
Furthermore, Mr.. Bulla declared he
must oppose the MCGOWAN resolution

by the government, . proposition
which the people OF California did not

on concurrent resolution without the

the adoption and the telegraphing to
Washington OF the resolution express-
Ing the sentiments OF the assembly or

Timothy Guy Phelps said BIO could
endorse every word that Bulla had
uttered.
Cutter, of Yubs, asserted that the
assem- bly, now had nothing to do with
