FOR A THIRD HOUSE,
LEAGUE PROPOSES OPEN
SESSIONS.
These For Discussion of Pending Legis'
lation and other Matters -A
Meeting.

There was an unusually large
attendance for the American Lea
que regular meeting of last even
ing. After the routine of business
had been disposed of remarks were
made by several members invited
to speak, and the good of the
country" comment brought about
a general discussion. The League
is much pleased over the progress
that it is reported Mr.. Hatch is
making at Washington and sends
him a message of congratulation
and assurance of support.
One of the members suggested
that the League have third
house" during the legislative ses
sion. This idea was approved at
once with earnestness, and plans of
procedure were outlined. 1t is
proposed to take up measures as
they are presented to the Legislature
and give the same discussion. This
will be in open meeting. 1t was
proposed to have all meetings open
hereafter. This was objected to,
but it was agreed that it
might be we'll to have three
open meetings, then a closed
session for transaction of
business, The idea of number of
members is that there should be re-
moved all flavor of secrecy from the
League as an organization.
Reports last night are that nearly
all members of the League were in
employment and that the finances
Of the organization were being got
ten into good shape.

A MAD MUSICIAN HERE.
CRAZY ON THE SUBJECT OF A NEW
METHOD or PLAYING.


J. A. Legal, American, aged
about 80. was arrested at $50 this
morning and is held for investiga-
ton. At the time, he was raving
insane. The man is a piano tuner
of San Francisco and arrived by
the Alameda. He was stopping at
the Fort street house. DR.. Emer-
son made an examination this
morning and reported that the in
sanity is only temporary.
Passengers by the Alameda say
Legal acted queer on the voyage
down. He was rational nearly all
the time, but had spells during
which he would become greatly ex,
cited. On one occasion especially
his fellow passengers grew alarmed
at his queer actions, and there was
talk of putting him under restraint.
He is cigarette fend,
His mania is peculiar one. He
has some vague plans of a piano to
be played by electricity, the modns
oberandf being similar to the work.
ing of type writing machine.
When his mind turns to this pro-
jected invention, he becomes great
ly excited and loses his head.
