Superior Judges of Santa Cruz and Del
Norte Counties, came back with the APP
proVal of the County and Township
government Committee, also Hart
Norths 6S1, concerning bridges across
naVlgable streams, with amendments.
BELSHAW'S BILL.
Belshaw has had a good deal of trou
bic with his bill, 40, providing for the
temporary and permanent organization
OF the House. Yesterday it was re-
ported back from the Judiciary and
treated to a few more amendments. By
this time it was in such a shape that the
author of it's being hardly knew it and,
by advice of the Speaker and permits
sion Of the House, he withdrew it alto
gether and later in the day started III
afresh with a brand new number on the
same old bill. But it is a very soOe
bill all the same, and will no doubt pass
with flying colors after it has run the
gauntlet of the files.
Hudsons 800, relating to school
bonds. was returned from the Judiciary
and sent to the Committee on Educa-
ton; Austin's 800, relative to the re,
cording of conveyances, was reported
faVOrably.
Sims 3SS, appropriating 100000 for
Governors residence, was not APPROX
ed by the Committee on Public Build
ings; it was referred to the Ways and
Means Committee; Wright's No. l. for
additions to the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Asylum, was approved and also sent to
Ways and Means. Dibble's 143, for
S1J0.000 for the affiliated colleges, was
also approved.
A message from the Senate announc-
ed that that body had refused to pass
A. B. %, relating to administrators.
The Committee on Attaches reported
for the adoption of Vcsburg's resolution
that all clerks, assistants and attaches
should be present and sign a roll lch
day at 9 a. m. and that those absent
without leave should receive no pay
for that day.
The consideration of this resolution
was temporarily laid over. When it
came up later North Of Yolo was in the
Speakers chair. and he was given a
very difficult quarter of an hour, as
there was most unexpected wrangle
over the matter. Price moved to amend
in such a way as to excuse all attaches
from being present at that hour on
DAYS when the Legislature stands ad-
jcurned, except those connected with
the Sergeant alarms office.
Cutter denounced the whole thing.
There had been a resolution that the
names of those attaches not present
and not performing their duties should
be found and the persons discharged.
Let the Retrenchment Committee do
their duty, he said, and not impose
upon the attaches. some of whom were
delicate women, the herculean task of
appearing at 8 a. N. to answer to their
names.
DibbIe declared he saw no great
hardship in asking well-paid employees
to appear at that hour. He, as an AS
scmblyman, was obliged to answer TO
a roll-can at $50. and he worked from
twelve to sixteen hours a day.
So il went on until Leavitt, who usu-
ally has a substitute up his sleeve, Of
fered one which skipped the whole
question and threw the responsibility
back upon the committee. 1t was as
follows:
Resolved. That the Committee on
Attaches be directed to report to this
House the names Of the attaches of
this House who have not reported for
duty and of those who are not attend
ing to their duties
Leavitts substitute was adopted.
LONG JOHN IN LUCK
Mcclellan offered a resolution setting
forth that J. Wilkins had been per-
forming certain duties very faithfully,
for which he had received no pay. and
that the Controller should be instruct
ed to draw a warrant for pay at ST
per diem from January 4th for Mr..
wilkins. The resolution was referred to
the Committee on Attaches, and Long
John viii probably get the long green
or the corresponding coin.
The bin for the aged indigents was
repoterd favorably.

dates for any legislative office from

prohibit them from making any pledges
except TO their own party conventions.
stood at the head Of the third reading
file. 1t was rather a pet measure OF
Dibble's and he did not seem to look
for much opposition. Nevertheless. he
did not get it through without a blow
struck and had to stand by the de-
