Sconchin Maloney, as doorkeeper of the
gallery, in place of the man recommended
by the Alameda delegation. He declared
that Maloney had been lobbied in by the
paid tools of the Southern Pacific and
the San Francisco delegation. Dodge's mo-
ton to substitute the name OF the Alameda
man in place of Maloney prevailed.
Bledsoe then attacked the report of the
committee. He declared he was satisfied
that three-fourths of the attaches recon-
mended were unnecessary, and to test the
sense of the Assembly he moved to strike
out the name of Lee Fairchild, who
stumped the State with Estee in the recent
election, and that of man named for night
Waterman at the State Library, which is
closed and locked at 8 o'clock every night
The Assembly was against the proposed
retrenchment, however, and by vote of

Assemblyman Dodge of Alameda. at is
another move in the interest of Hunting
ton. This State will never prosper until
we get competing railroads. See the trouble
which Oakland fell into by the action of its
City Council bartering away its city front
for schoolhouse. If the Santa Fe, the
Burlington and the Union Pacific had
roads extending to San Francisco Bay it
would be different matter. If all these
roads could make common terminal at
Goat Island, the fats could then be filed in
from the island to the shore line of Oak
land, and there would then be one great
city with business houses on both sides of
the bay. As the situation now stands, I
regard the proposition as another Sodth-
ern Pacific scheme to fortify itself in an
impregnable position on the bay. of San
Francisco and to shut out lines which
years from now might seek to come to San

"The resolution which Senator Ostrom
introduced two years ago, which passed
the Senate, was killed in the Assembly"
said Senator WhitehurSt.
Senator Ostrom is one of the most hon
est men in the world. When he found out
what might be the result if Congress should
act favorably on the resolution he sought
to withdraw it from the Senate, but to
bother him little bit we would not allow
him to do SO and passed the measure in the
Senate knowing that il would be killed in
the Assembly, and had no end of fun with
Ostrom by joking him about being rail
road man. L don't see what possessed
Senator Langford to bring up the resolu-
ton at this session."

INSURANCE MATrEBS.

Commissioner Higgins Thinks the For
eign Companies Should Pay Up.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 18.-Insurance Com
missioner NJ. r. Higgins is here and OBJ
viously takes some interest in insurance
legislation. Concerning the bills recently
introduced he said to-day in an interview:
1.-THE foreign insurance companies re-
ceived last year over 100000 from Cali
fornia and the companies pay but $3.50 a
year for doing this immense business.
Some of them have not a dollar in the
United States to insure that the contracts
will be carried out. Home companies
and those that have made deposits are
thus at a great disadvantage. New York,
Massachusetts,, Illinois, Ohio and in fact
nearly every State in the Union requires it,
and why should California be the back
door for these foreign companies to enter
this country? Why not take the position
of protection to her citizens assumed by
other States"
Regarding the bill which authorizes the
Commissioner to inquire as to the cause of
fires, Mr.. Higgins sets forth that an insur-
ance company that wants to take ad-
vantage of the people find its opportunity
in disputing fire loss and making insinu-

The insurance bills introduced IN the
Assembly to-day by Mr.. Dinkelspiel OF
San Francisco will stir up some commo-
ton in circles of insurance. They are
identical with the bills introduced in the
Senate by Bert. One bill provides that the
Insurance Commissioner shall refer all ap-
plications of insurance corporations, indi-
viduals or associations to do business in
this State, together with the articles of in
corporation and all documents filed with
him, to the Attorney-Generalf for his exami-

by the commission.
Senator MCGOWAN introduced bill de-
filming the crime of embezzlement, making
the offense much more inclusive than at
present, and removing certain doubts
which appear in the present law, whereby
! offenders are enabled to escape on techni-
cality.
Senator Langford introduced bill which
defines as gubernatorial appointees the in
spector of gas meters, trustees of burying-
grounds, directors of insane and deaf and
dumb and blind asylnms, port wardens,
insurance commissioners, members of the
State Board of Health, the vaccine agent,
the Commissioner of immigration, pilot
commissioners, and one pilot for each
harbor where there are pilot commits
sioners.
Senator Arms has bill which will pro-
vide for the establishment for homes for
the inebriates under municipal control,
and which will seek to abolish the present
home in San Francisco and make its prop
erty revert to the city, which the bill says
never legally passed from the city. These
are among the reasons assigned for repeal
ing the present statute which gives quasi
public character to DR.. Potter's institu-
ton:
THE act of the Legislature entitled an
act relating to the Home of the Inebriates
of San Francisco, and to prescribe the
powers and duties of the Board of Mana
gers approved April 1, 1870, should be re-
pealed for the following reasons:
"First-That in line of section 8, the
words 'or otherwise placed in said home
empowers the Board of Managers of the
said corporation to deprive persons of their
liberty without due process of law, and
therefore is in conflict with the constitu-
ton. The words aforesaid grant special
and exclusive right of privilege to pri-
waite corporation. This is in conflict with
the constitution. A fee of SIS to $25 a
week is charged by the managers for re-
straining any person placed in the home.
"Second-Section 7of said act is void; the
Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, or q
committee of said board, did not set apart
lot to and for the corporation known as
the Home for the Care of the Inebriate ;
no such power was delegated to said board
by the act of Congress-see the Circuit
Court, the grant of Congress and ordinance
800 of said board. The lot in question was
set apart and dedicated by said board to
the inhabitants of San Francisco for use as
home for inebriates."

a great terminal for all the roads which

Isn't the State building this structure for
the Southern Pacific Company?
"My proposition changes all this. If
Congress cedes Goat Island to the State,
every road will have terminal facilities
there which desires them. The island could
be placed under the jurisdiction of the
Board of Harbor Commissioners, and they
could erect wharves and levy tolls. The
hills could be cut down and causeway 100
feet wide built to the Oakland shore. Every
road in the State which desired to come to
San Francisco could have the right of way
over this causeway, and could run its own
ferries to San Francisco, and then the

would be union depot in fact as wall as

it rids itself of corporation domination. 1t

Senator Bert was inclined to favor the
resolution if it could be assured that other
roads could have the same terminal advan-
tages as the Southern Pacific and if a
bridge be constructed from San Francisco

TtcO Craze Subjects Discussed in the
State Senate.

TtcO GTGre Subjects Discussed in the
State Senate.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1S.-The record of the
present Senate shows that it has made a
record as the most extravagant body of
legislators who ever sat in the Senate
chambers of the Capitol. Senator Nc
Allister, who will make the Governors
fight in the Legislature for an economical
session, had occasion to utter his formal
protest this morning. The occasion was
the offering of a resolution that copies of
the revised statute laws should be furnished
each member of the Committee on Judici-
airy. Senator McAllister took the position
that 1t was necessary to protect the con-
tlngent fund. On account of salaries. the
payroll would soon creep up to $1,000 day.
de declared that it was serious matter
Tor the Senate to consider. The appropria-
ton asked for was small, but it was time
to call halt. The resolution making the
appropriation was adopted.
Senator McAllister has the figures to back
up the charges OF extravaganza which he
makes against the Senate. At the end of
the tenth day of the present session there
had been employed by the Senate. bv cleo
/ ton or resolution, officers and attaches
whose salaries call for daily expenditure
OF $719. In the session of 1880 the HIGHEST
daily payroll for officers and employees was
$235, and that figure was not reached till
the middle of the session. The session of
1889 has been pronounced the one of most
eItravagant legislation. The Senate nav
roll reached its highest figure at the ninth
week OF the session, when the expenditure
was $625 day, or $94 day less than it is
now, at the end of the second week. In
1891 the highest daily payroll was s43s
which was during the tenth week of the
session, and in 1893 the highest daily paw
roll was S616, which was also during the
tenth week of the session.
The bill to create county of class
S14 of San Diego passed the Senate on
third reading to-day. The measure was
introduced by Senator Wilmington. and
has been the first bill to finally pass either
house.
Senator Mahoney introduced several

resolutions in the Senate to-day to further
the work of the committee on the inaugural
ball, of which he is the chairman, which
caused quite a spirited debate. Senator
Seymour offered a substitute that the
inaugural ball be held in the pavilion of
the State Agricultural Society, declaring
that the Senate could not spare the use of
its quarters for inaugural ball purposes.
Senator Hart declared that the adoption
of the resolution would show want of cour-
tesy to the Governor, and that Repub-
lican Legislature could not afford to be
charged with want OF courtesy to the
States highest officer. He objected to
holding the ball in the pavilion where
pumpkins were exhibited.
81 see no disrespect in holding the ball
in the pavilion where pumpkins are exhib-
tied, said Senator MCGOWAN II think it
would be Just as respectful as to hold the
ball in the Senate and Assembly chambers
where legislators are exhibited. Pumpkins
and fruit are representative products of
the great State of California; the Legisla-
lures have not always been representative
of its people. Besides, holding the inaugu-
raj ball in the pavilion would be in accord
ance with democratic simplicity"
The various resolutions about the in
augural ball were made special order for
Monday at o'clock.

the chairman of the Committee on Com
merce and Navigation, said Senator Ma
honey to-day, without giving any reason
for such sudden desire to lay down the
burdens of committee duty. This, too,
was made a special order for consideration
on Monday afternoon.
Not many bills were introduced in the
Senate to-day. Senator Langford sent up
a measure to abolish the State Viticultural
Commission, with a proviso that all the
property of the commission be turned over
to the State University and that institution
