The Investigation.

The Senate opened with a full ait
tendance, with the exception of Chap
man, who is sick, and who, it is feared,
may not be able to resume his duties
during the session.
Three bills were passed, among them
being the Assembly bill of Leavitt,
making an appropriation for the sup
port of the State Printing Office, which
the Assembly cut down to $50, 900 and
the Senate raised to $4,000, the orig
inal amount asked for, and it will now
go back to the Assembly, to let it
concur in the amendment or not, as it
sees best
A number of bills We're introduced,
running the number up to 523 that
have been introduced so far. Among
them was one by Doty,, for the con-
struction of a State road with macad-
am from Folsom to Sacramento, the
State to appropriate $4,000 and the
residents of Folsom and the adjacent
portions of the county to contribute
the rest. The road is intended as an
object lesson to the rest of the State
as to the advantage of constructing
good and durable roads, and also to
demonstrate the superiority of such
rock as the Folsom quarry furnishes.
Being at the farther end, close to the
quarry, it can be constructed very
cheaply, and may serve as an incentive
TO much good road building in other
counties.
Senator Morehouse has prepared a
bin to utilize the former Home of the
Feeble Minded at Santa Clara, which
has been for some time vacant, by con-
verting it into reformatory for girls.
There is a general feeling that the girls
heretofore sent to the Whittier School
should be separated from the boys and
it was proposed to send them to the
Preston School, but they are not want
ed there either, and as the home at
Santa Clara is vacant it is now pro-
posed to establish them there, to be
under the management and control of
the Preston School, thus practically do
ing with one set of officers and attend
ants what would take two if it We're
made a separate institution. The in
habitants of Santa Clara unanimously
offer to furnish gas, electric light and
water free If the bill becomes a law.

ers and Defensas recommended that A.

IN THE ASSEMBLY.
The First Day in Which No Bills Were
introduced.

| No leaves of absence were asked yes
| terday excepting for Chief Clerk Duck
worth, the unaccust toned sunshine con-
ducing to a full and prompt attendance.
SPECIAL ORDERS.
| No fewer than nine numbers appeared
on the special file and that work was
| attacked at once.
s. j. r. >, which ernbodies the report
of the recent Fruit Growers Convention
| on the tariff for the fruit industry, was
| read in all its glowing rhetoric and was
adopted without debate.
A. ]. R. 4, by Canavan, relating to the
| establishment of a republican form of
| government in the Hawaiian Islands,
| was adopted also without debate.
A. J. r. II, regarding the recognition

A SALMON STRUGGLE.
A. B. 4o1, amending Sections 632 and
634 of the Penal Code relating to the
| taking of fish in California, had been
postponed for consideration and amend
ment until yesterday morning. The de-
bate was long and wordy, bringing out
the conflict of interests among the sever
al part of the State on the questions of
fish and game. Concerning salmon
and no other fish, was under considera-
tion-the bill as introduced provides as
follows:
Section 534. Every person who, dur
ing the 10th day of September and the
10th day of October, of each year, takes,
catches, buys, or sells, or exposes for
sale, or has in his possession, any fresh
salmon; every person who, between the
do, 0<a+y, 10, e
November, each year, takes or catches
any salmon above tide water is deem
ed guilty of misdemeanOr.
Shanahan moved to strike out the
words Every person who, between the
10Th day of October and the 10th day of
November, of each year, takes or
catches any salmon above tide water"
Shanahan spoke ito his amendment.
He claimed that an unjust and improper
discrimination is made in the bill be-
tween the lower and the upper parts of
the river; that the bill was in the in
terest of the Chinese and foreign fish
cries at the mouth of the river to the de-
triment of the fishermen of the northern
valley counties. He criticised the Fish
Commission, whence the bill originated,
as also being unjust in their discrimina-
tion. AS much mischief 50 he claimed.
was done below Sacranento-which is
made the limit of tide water-as above.
Strain, as Chairman of the committee,
opposed the amendment and believed a
bin made by the Fish Commission after
careful study of the whole matter and
in the interest of the hatcheries should
have the support of the Assembly
Emmons spoke against the amend
ment with conciseness and force:
gave a full account of the needs
and benefits of the hatcheries at Battle
Greek, which is the pride of the United
States, and defended the necessity of
taking special care of the salmon at
the time of spawning.
Belshaw spoke against the amend
ment and read from the report of the
Fish Commission as to the reasons for
establishing the season.

ent.
Wilmington said in reference to the
debate on his resolution of the day be-
fore, that he wished to say in relation
to his remark concerning the Senator
from Los Angeles that it had been mis-
construed by the latter as he had not
intended to cast any reflection upon
him. He felt impelled, however, to
offer the fullest apology for his re-
mark and testify his high appreciation
of the Senator.
Bulla said that he felt he had been
too haSty in what he said in answer to
the Senator's S remark and sorry that ha
had misconstrued it. No one felt a
more profound respect than he for the
ability and care with which the Senator
from San Diego had conducted the
business committed to his charge He
felt that the Senate was indebted 10
him very largely as he had shown HIM
self SO conversant with all the busi-
ness before it

RUSsIA'S SUPERSTITION.

The attitude and desires of Russia
touching Cretan troubles have not been
understood by the world outside of
diplomatic circles. if, indeed. they were
even by diplomats c0mprehended. So

Russia has been for the integrity of
the Turkish empire and against the au
tonomy of Crete. Every public expres-
sion from St Petersburg has been So

PETER, THE PLUTOCRAT.

PETER, whose plutocratic preaching
landed him in the United States senate.
from which he returns a rich man, he
and all his boys and girls, for whom
ne procured good, fat federal jobs for
six years, has fallen back on his old
time fault-fnding platform. Every
thing is going wrong, in his estimation,
probably because the Pop party did
not send him and his family back to
Washington for six years more. The
Lawrence Journal observes that PETER
Is fraud, a nice, respectable, decent
old fraud, but a fraud all the same,
who got a place and $4,000 for de-
nouncing plutocrats for not dividing UP
with the poor, but who, now being rich
himself, couldn't be persuaded to di-
vide so much as nickel with anybody.
The Journal says that she is not fraud
because he refuses TO divide, for he
would be fool if he did, but be-
cause he advocates one thing and does
another" PETER has had his chance
and his day, and they were greater
than his deservings. No amount of
whining will ever return him to the
United States senate. There are a thou
sand men in Kansas more deserving Of
the place. His successor is an out-and-
out Democrat, of the real old southern
stamp, a man who has less sympathy
for the doctrines of the Pop party than
has the average Republican, but a man
smart enough to play the Pop party
and its politicians for all they were
worth and for the best thing they had
on the platter. PETER fiocked with his
own whiskers while in the United
States senate, but his successor will
herd with the men who have always
hated Kansas and all that the state for
thirty years meant PETER is like his
party in that he depends upon his
mouth, and his mouth has failed him. as

NJ. NJ. MURDOCH. Editor
a GREAT BIG CLUB.

Leedy's administration has got
cinch on the railroads. Leedy vetoed
the Harris bill, which seems to have
been a very fair and conservative meas
ure, one which the railroads would have
endeavored to strictly obey. But the
public was uunable to figure out the
why of the veto. Leedy said it was
because the bill was not what the peo-
pie demanded. The session was too
nearly ended to think of attempting TO
compile and pass another measure. Ii
now turns out that even If it had,
Leedy would have vetoed it also for
the reason that the passage of any law
would have left Governor Leedy and
his crowd without any club to hold over
the railroads. AS it is he can bring the
whole system of the state to time on
any proposition. He can call an extra
session AS the railroads are the biggest
taxpayers in the state they dread an
extra session as much as the average
taxpayer. even though they were guar
enteed that no railway legislation would
be attempted. AS the case now stands
Leedy holds the club and the railroads
hold the special cars which they would
rather turn over to the service OF
Leedy's friends than have Leedy recon-
vene that legislature. Leedy has just
finished one junketing trip TO the gulf
coast which he could not have taken
at the expense of the railroads had the
maximum bill become a law. But that
trip is only the beginning. The railway
assessors are going to have an annual
tour in which a lot of prominent Pops
of Leedy'S administration are going to
participate. There is nothing too good
for the servants of the Pop party who
make their points by denouncing pluto
Gratis. The proposed junketing trip will
last through April and May, and there
will be no danger of call for an extra
session in the meantime. The state Of
ficers and their wives and several other
invited female guests will roll around
the country eating terrapin from Flori-
da, steaks from Chicago, and truff1es
from France with delicious strawberries
from Texas as a dessert. Mrs. Harvey,
the wife Of the lieutenant governor.
bride Of two or three months, is to have
charge of the social end Of the tour.
The last Trip is to include visit to Den
yer and Pixies Peak. Ostensibly they
will be assessing railway property, but
in fact they will be enjoying that which
the railways were forced TO appropriate
under the threat Of Leedy's extra SEES
sion club.

THAT GREAT SEWER.

But for its latitude, Chicago would
be, with its vast population, one of the
most unhealthy cities in the world. 1t
was built in swamp, out Of which it
was raised by jack screws after it had
obtained the proportions of a city. The
sluggish river which bisects it has been
its only salvation, sanitarily, and its
principal advantage as a commercial
center. But for that sluggish river,
which for miles on both sides is con-
tinuous quay, Chicago would never
have been a Milwaukee even. The lake
did the rest. Many other towns have
had the same lake; none of them that
Chicago bayou, which is dignified by
the name of river. AS a sewer, 1t is
failing in capacity. The result is ty-
phoid and other low feyers. To turn
this river and run it the other way and
down into the head of the Illinois river,
filth and all. is the one great ambition
if. indeed, it is not the sole salvation of
that overgrown city. Congress has been
LIE ic NOSt-
ing many millions of dollars. Nobody
seems to know, in fact, there are those
who say they do know, that the turning
OF this sewer-river backwards through
a canal is impracticable. When finish
ed, the canal is to be twenty-eight miles
long, and so designed as to allow the
waters Of Lake Michigan TO flow
it at the rate of 10000 cubic
feet a second. This velocity Of current
is expected to dilute the sewage so thor
oughly as to purify the canal stream
before it shall reach the cities on the
banks Of the Illinois river. The width
Of the alluvial bottom of the canal will
be 202 feet, and much of the excavation
must be through solid rock. OF this,
there is estimated to be 100000 cubic
yards; of wet soil, 100000 cubic yards,
and of alluvial and hard soil, %, 600. 900
cubic yards-a grand total of 100000
cubic yards for removal.
