| SACRAMENTO, March 2-Many wrathful
women left the Capitol this afternoon.
They came dressed in their Sunday best,
only to find the gate-keepers obdurate
The resolution of Laugenour of Yolo was
being enforced, and only the wives of the
Assemblymen were allowed on the floor.
Sergeant-at-Arms Lamphrey good-na-
turedly tried to explain the rules. He had
his hands full, and many pretty pleaders
sought in vain to move him. The men re-
ceived very scant courtesy indeed, and, as
a result, the House was enabled to con-
tlnue its business uninterrupted by the
annoyances of the third house.
The improvement in the order was
marked. The effect was increased by the
fact that nearly third of the House left
on the O'Clock train for San Francisco.
! There were sixty-one members of the
Assembly present when roll was called this
morning. But the number dwindled till
there were only forty-seven when the last
roll was called. Nevertheless a large
amount of business was transacted
The bill allowing the State to purchase
| lands sold for delinquent taxes having be-
come law, two extra officials were made
necessary for the Controllers office. These
officials are to be known as revenue clerks.
The House took the bills up out of their
regular order, as they were not even on the
| files, and read them the second time. They
will be passed Monday afternoon.
The bill TO make contracts definite, and
prevent further confusion in the printing
OF the constitutional amendments by the
newspapers of the State, was reported back
! by Wade to-day. 1t bore several changes,
the chief of which was that the proposed
amendments were to be advertised in not
to exceed two newspapers in each county
and city and county. The amendments
are to be printed once week for the four
| consecutive weeks Immediately preceding
the election. The rate charged is in no
case to exceed that fixed by the Supervi-
sors of the various counties for the county
printing. The bill also provides that when
the amendments are printed in two papers
in one county these papers shall be of diff
ferent political faiths.
Bulla introduced the Joint resolution
to allow the people to vote on the question
OF the advisability of holding a convention
to make new constitution. The fact that
forty proposed amendments had been in
troduced before his committee showed, he
thought, that such action was necessary.
Wade of Napa thought there was but one
way to reach real retrenchment. That was
through changing the constitution. Way
mire, Dinkelspeil and Powers spoke in
favor OF the proposition, but as it would
require two-thirds of the members of the
House, or tifty-four votes, to obtain favor
| able action and as there was not that num-
| ber present, the resolution was laid over to
be made the special order for Monday after
noon.
1t was evident from the way in which
the remarks of the speakers were received
and the expressions of the various legisla-
tors that the Assembly warmly favored
the proposition. There will not probably
be dissenting vote.
The Committee on Asylums reported in
favor of removing the Home for the Adult
Blind now situated at Oakland to Santa
Clara, at the property formerly occupied
by the Home for Predetermined Children,
renewing their severe criticism of the
present management of the former insti-
| tuition.
Bettman's bill fixing the age of consent
at 18 was passed with only one dissenting
after several attempts to lower the age had
failed.
| The Senate resolution approving the
charter of the town of Berkeley was adopt
ed unanimously.
| A resolution by Thomas of Nevada to
authorize the employment of a second
assistant engineer at Sc day and fire.
man at So day while the Assembly was
holding its evening sessions was referred
to the Committee on Attaches.
Laugenour of Yolo called up his resolu-
ton to exclude all outsiders but the lady
visitors of the members from the floor of
the House.
Dixon of San Francisco declared that he
thought the resolution was merely intro
duced for buncombe; but it went through
| Just the same, after motion to put it on
the table had been lost.
Laugenour occupied the chair through
the entire afternoon. His rulings were
given with such fairness and precision, and
he assisted SO materially in forwarding the
work, that not only the special file but a
large portion of the urgency file was dis
| posed of.
The bill appropriating $25OOoO for the
1
erected in San Francisco was killed at its
second reading this afternoon by vote of
"a to %. An attempt will be made to resus-
citate it. This may be successful, as some
of the strongest supporters of the bill were
among the absentees.
When the bill had been read the second
time North moved to amend by making
half the appropriation available in the
forty seventh year and half in the forty
eighth. This was carried.
Reid of Trinity then asked if the Toland
Medical College was not to be brought in
with the new building. He understood
that a lot of outside colleges were to parti-
cipate in the benefits of the States expen-
diture, and he was opposed to that.
