The Governor Refuses Approval
Of Assembly Bill rs.
Old Battle Over Insurance Matters
Again On in the Senate.
New Order Of Business Adopted by the Senate
Sacramento and Folsom Road
Bill Passed

In the Senate yesterday morning,
Doty's bill, providing that crushed rock
shall be furnished from the State plant
at Folsom for the purpose of macada-
MIXING the highway between Sacra-
mento and Folsom was passed, though
not without considerable opposition
In the afternoon the Assembly con-
current resolution providing for the alb
rogation of joint rules 40, 4S and ~,
which have throughout the last month
caused a sea of trouble between the
two houses, and fixing the date of ad-
journment sine die at noon on Satur-
day, March 10Th, was adopted without
argument, and the Senate breathed
free for the first time in many days.
The abrogation of the rules created
the necessity for a new order Of bust
ness, and at the evening session con-
siderable oratory was expended before
an agreement was arrived at. In the
end, however, a satisfactory conclu-
sion was agreed to, and being at length
free. giant strides were taken into the
bills carrying claims and appropria-
tons.
Among the bills passed was one ap-
propriating $40, 600 for improving the
harbor at San Diego, and another ap-
propriating $4,000 to pay the claims of
w. w. Foote and Robert Y. Hayne for
attorneys fees in case in which the

SOME PROGRESS.
Before the Assembly committee of in
vestigation of the bribery charges yes
terday, sev eraI more Assemblymen who
had voted for A. B. 273 We're examined
as to their votes. All testified with
alacrity and unanimity that they had
voted for the bill on it's merits and
without being approached by anyone
with offers Of money or other consider
alton of value.
Superintendent Jaynes was before the
committee and testified that he had ex-
amined carefully all kilograms sent to
or by Senator VOORHEES, during this ses-
sion, and not one had any bearing, di-
rectly or indirectly, on this bill. Mr..
Jaynes holds himself at the disposal
of the committee to produce any speci-
fed dispatches, but the Western Union
Company declines, through its mana
ger, to turn over the private messages
of it's clients, en- masse, for the inspec-
ton of anyone.
G.. w. Baker, an Oakland attorney,
whose name has been mentioned in con-
nection with the corruptionist tele-
grams which We're to astound the Leg
islature, is expected at the Capitol to-
day and Will be before the committee at
1870 p. m.
IT IS \ LAW.
Up to the time of adjournment of the
two houses last evening, no word had
been received from the Governor an

regard to the bill yesterday afternoon

Special Correspondence of the Globe.

Special Correspondence Of the Globe
CINCINNATI, Dec. 16.-Besides the
gold to be found in Alaska there are
other things of absorbing interest in
that territory. Plenty of them There
is the native Alaskan, who has been
sadly neglected by those who have witt
ter concerning the Northwest region.
An authority on the subject is The Rev.
Edward Marsden, who has lived in
Alaska since 1882, and has made a close
study of native manners and customs.
Mr. Marsden was born in British Col
umbia on May 10, 1916, and has pledged
himself to work as long as he lives for
the betterment of the natives of Alas
ka Here is his interesting account IF
his experiences among them, written
especially for this paper:
Alaska is inhabited principa ly by six
native tribes, such as the Eskimo, with
in and a little below the Arctic circle
the TiDneh or Athabaskan, in the Yu
kon region, the Aleutian, in the south
western. and the Thlingit, Hydah and
Tsimpshean, in the southeastern
parts. These speak as many diff
ferent languages. The first two would
be included in the Eskimo fami Y, while
the rest would come under the term of
Indians From time immemorial they
have always lived in the sections
have named, and when and how they
came to these sections L cannot say, ex-
cept from the theories of our own his
torians and scientists.
The native Alaskans, especially those
OF the southern part, are a hardy, self
reliant, industrious and bold race. They
have great powers of physical indur-
ance, and delight in athletics and mu-
sic.
Before this present century, when the
Russians came among them, they were
a very fierce people and frequently col
lided with the cars soldiers The well
organized governme hts ard the systems
of customs and religious beliefs that
they had made it difficult for foreign
ers to deal with them. But today
things are different. There are no more
we'll organized governments among the
Alaskans. What customs and beliefs
