STATE SOIONS.
Introduce Many Resolutions and Pass q
Few of Them.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 5.-(By Associ-
| ated Presa.) The senate convened at 10
o'clock this morning and after prayer by
| Rev. c. L. Mel. Androus of Los Angeles
introduced the following joint resolu-
| tion:
Whereas, The committee on ways
and means Of the house of representa-
| tives is considering the preparation OF a
new tariff bill in which the principle of
protection to American industries is TO
be fully recognized; and.
Whereas, The fruit interests Of Cali
fornia are vitality interes ted in receiving
adequate protection from foreign COM
petitors; therefore, be it,
Resolved, BY the senate of the state
of California, the assembly therein con-
curing, that we instruct our senators
and urgently request our represent
atives in congress from this state that
they use every means in their power to
secuYe the Incorporation in the new tar
iff law of such import duties on fruits
| as shall fully and completely protect tho
fruit interests of California from foreign
compe tition, securing to California pro-
ducers the control of the home market
and a reasonable price for their pro-
ducts.
Resolved, That the secretary Of the
senate be directed to transmit to each Of
our representatives in congress and tel
egraph Immediately to each of the sem
ators from the state copy Of these reso-
lutions.
Sewall moved to make the matter spe-
cial order of business for tomorrow at
10 o'clock but Androus objected, saying
that the ways and means committee was
then in session in Washington and that
no time should be lost in getting the
message before them.
The resolution was adopted and trans
mitted to the assembly.
A message was received from the as
sembly stating that that body had or
Ganized and was ready for business.
A resolution by Mahoney that each
senator be allowed SIS for contingent ex-
penses was adopted.
Private Secretary McCabe presented
the governors annual message.
The herald., 1897-01-06

he recommended, as q fair profit, so
per cent on the cost of manufacture,
which would be 1915 per ton. The Sec
retary further advises that the con-
tractors hereafter furnish the nickel,
which now costs the government about
500 per ton, making the cost 1895 per
ton, or in round numbers, about S40O
This figure, he believes, is a fair and
equitable price to pay for the armoi
for the Wisconsin, Alabama and ILL
nois, the three new battleships last au-
thorized. The report continues that this
sum may seem very large profit, but
that some consideration must be given
to the risks taken, and that the gov
ernment demands the very best arnror
The government Is now paying $3.50
a ton for armor and with the nickel
added, 583. At the prices suggested by
Mr. Herbert $500.000 would be saved on
each battleshfp.
Unless the present law is changed
the secretary could not obtain armor
for the battleships already under con-
tract II the companies refuse to bid
within the limit congress might fix
To eliminate this difficulty Mr.. Herbert
recommends that upon fixing price
for armor congress also authorize the
secretary to erect or buy or lease an
armor plant or gun plant if necessary.
If this Is done better results, he be-
lieves, could be obtained.

GENERAL FRANCIS WALKER
Comes to the End of His Many Occnpa.
tions
\ Life of Strange Vicissitudes and Many
Successes Cut Short by a Stroke
of Apoplexy

BOSTON, Jan. 5-General Francis A.
Walker, president of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, a we'll known
politician. economist and litterateur.
was stricken with apoplexy this morning
and died soon afterward.
General Walker was born in Boston
July 2, 1910. After graduating from Am
herst in 1860 he Immediately began the
study Of law, the first of a surprising
number of occupations, In many of which
he succeeded. When the war broke out
he enlisted as major under Colonel De-
wins In the Seventeenth Massachusetts,
regiment and was rapidly promoted to
the rank Of brigadier general. He served
II the staffs of Generals Sedgwick, War
rem and Hancock. He was severely
wounded at Charlottesville ard cap
tured at Ream's station and kept for
some time In Libby prison. In 1859 he was
appointed chief Of the bureau of statis-
tics at Washington and organized and
conducted the ninth census. In 1871,
while retaining the Office of superintend-
ent of the census, Gen. Walker became
United States commissioner of Indian
affairs. He resigned the latter position
in 1873 to become professor of political
SSOhOAly AL lhC k'iClliclu SCleLtlIlC SCHOOL
at New Haven. In 1879 he organized the
tenth census without giving up his lee
lures. He resigned the superintendency
of the census in 1881 to become presi-
dent of the institute Of technology. He
also lectured a great deal.
He went to Paris in 1873 as commits.
sioner from the United States to the
International monetary conference. He
was president of the American statistical
association from 1882 and president of
the American Economic association from
1885. During the last few years General
Walker has appeared occasionally be-
fore the public In addresses and pamph-
lets on the question of bimetallism.

Resolution Passed

Special to The Herald.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 5-The legisla.
ture is down to business in earnest, and
from this time foiw aid there is likely
to be lively turning of the wheels from
the eagerness Of the assemblymen to get
the floor for the Introduction of new
bills.
This afternoon there is evident strong
disposition to try experiments in legisla-
ton despite the conservatism of many
members and hundreds of their constit-
uents. The free silver resolutions in
troduced by Assemblyman Sanford Of
Mendocino sounded like those of the re-
cent campaign. They did not meet with
the favor hoped for by the author. who
had doubtless expected their speedy
adoption. Their reference to the COM
mittee on federal relations quickly took
the question out of the assembly and
thus temporarily prevented a discussion
which might have consumed good deal
of time and wasted much valuable elo-
quence.
The action of the Republican caucus
tonight is considered equivalent to the
settlement of the senatorial contest in
favor of Perkins. Shortridge made a
determined fight. but against odds too
great for him to overcome, even with the
aid of his brother, Charles and the Call.
Senator Bulla of Los Angeles wiz nre
sent and champion bill for land title
law similar to the famous Torrens land
law. He has also prepared bills relat-
ing to the park ground recently donated
to Los Angeles city by G. j. Griffith, one
of which will empower the city to con-
vert the grounds into an elegant park
and exercise jurisdiction over it in all
necessary details.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE
A Long Document With Many Recon-
mendations of Reforms

Governor Budd's first biennial mes
sage to the legislature is remarkable for
its length. 1t fills a pamphlet of one
hundred pages ard IS devoted mainly to
an earnest plea for economy in the man
agement of state institutions. The gov
ernor congratulates the legislature on
the prosperity of the state during the
last two years and says: I'VE nave
steadily pursued the inevitable destiny
which has called us TO the proud posi-
ton of the foremost state in this peer
less union.
Tie governor then turns with regret
to the extravaganza in the management
of the states finances and says that the
opinions expressed by him at his inau-
guration on that subject have been con-
firmed by investigation. The work OF the
state board of examiners is commended
and it is due to them that during the
next two fiscal years S1o4,667.50 VIII be
saved over the estimates of two years
ago.
