SACRAMENTO, March 4.-The un-
| pleasantness between Senator Bulla
| and Judge Lamme over the street rail-
way bill has passed over, and everything
is pleasant and serene between the tive
gentlemen This morning the senator
addressed a note to the judge, which
the latter characteriZes as the most
manly letter he ever received, in which
the senator said he found that the facts
upon which he based his denunciatior;
of Lamme in the senate yesterday had
been incorrectly represented to him;
that he deeply regretted what he mad
said, and would do anything mutual
friends could suggest to remedy the
mistake Lamme replied, saying that
the incident was passed. and that he
left Bulla himself to decide what he
should do. The senator, with admirable
courage, arose before the adjournment
of the senate this afternoon. and said
he had been led TO denounce Judge
Lamme through mistake and took II
all back. He said he had apologized for
saying it, A short time after the judge
came over and the two chatted pleas
antly for some time. All the Los Ange-
les delegation rejoices at the happy end
of the affair
The desks of the lieutenant governor
and speaker were elaborately decorated
with portraits of Mckinley and Hobart
and the national colors flags and flow
ers. A large portrait of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Millard, recently purchased by the
senate, rested in front of the clerks
desk.
The bill making an appropriation of
$4,000 for the transmississippi eXhibi
ton passed by a small majority in the
senate.
Committees have been investigating
all day the charges of the Examiner that
bribery was used to pass bill recently,
but nothing of Importance developed.
Doty this morning wanted the Examiner
empowered to subpoena witnesses and
conduct the prosecution. Androus Of
fered as a substitute resolution refer
ring the whole matter TO the grand jury,
but Simpson opposed this. first because
Sacramento grand turies are not to be
relied upon in these cases and secondly
because he believed the senate should
do it's own investigating. After long
debate the whole matter was dropped,
and Doty's motion defeated.
A long debate occurred over the coy
ote bounty bill carrying an appropria-
ton of s275OO0 If 1t passes all the pub
lie institutions of the state will get moth
ing. as the three bills. coyote, debris and
dredger will carry sS25,000. and there
will be no money for anything else.
1t is announced that all committee
clerks. etc. will be relieved from duty
Saturday So most of the visitors from
the south will return home Sunday.
Both touses are busy passing bills.
Owing t. the caucus of the Republicans
this afternoon, the discussion of the
irrigation bills was postponed until 9
a. M tomorrow. Opposition to the new
irrigation law is growing, and 1t will not
be surprising if the Legislature adjourns
without passing any important legis-
lation on this subject.
The railroad block bill came up in the
assembly this evening, but as the hour
was late. on motion of Valentine, ii
went over until tomorrow.
