Assemblyman Harris bill 473 authoriz-

First-Whenever. in any county, or city and
county of this State, the average daily at

Senator Dickinson, with view to pro-
viding permanent camps of instruction
and sites for target practice for the militia,
to-day offered the following bill:
The AdjutantGeneral and two persons to be

be resident of Les Angeles and the other
resident OF San Francisco, are hereby ap-
pointed commissioners for the purpose OF

tition in crushed rock between prison aud
free labor formed the principal topic of
discussion before the Senate Committee
on State Prisons to-day.
The question was whether the product
OF the Folsom rock-crusher should be put
on the market in full competition with
that of private crushers, or should be
used only for highways outside OF cities.
1t was decided to refer to the Attorney
General whether it would be lawful to fix
two prices for the Folsom product-one
price for rock to be used in the streets of
cities and lower price for that TO be
used on country roads. Another way out
of the difficulty that was suggested was to
fix com promise price of 40 cents ton
at the crusher. The present price is 25
cents. While this is said to be satisfactory
to the competitors of the prison establish
ment. it is feared there may be opposition
to it from those interested in the i'm prove
ment OF country highways. 1t was de-
cided to recommend for passage the bill
appropriating $4,000 for 300 acres of i'm
proved land contiguous to the Folsom
prison grounds, to be used for agricultural
purposes.

and that he is specially instructed not to tur
nish to persons not so connected with the
Senate any bills or other documents in his
charge for distribution.
This was viewed as being aimed directly
against the newspaper men, but no oppor-
tunity was given them to be heard in the
matter until it had been passed, thought
less as it would appear, without dissent
ing vote.
When Senator Wilmington was asked If
his resolution was intended to apply to
newspaper correspondents he replied, in a
tone of indignant virtue: Certainly.
We propose TO stop these robberies of the
sergeant-at-arms' Office"
Subsequently Senator Bulla moved to
reconsider Withington's resolution, and
in the course of the debate which followed
Wilmington charged the Los Angeles Sem
ator with obstructing legislation by tax
ing up the time of the Senate in behalf OF
the newspaper men, and implying that he
had interested motives in so doing.
Bulla's motion to reconsider was carried,
and the Objectionable resolution was
amended so as to exclude the newspaper
correspondents from its operation.
After the adjournment of the Senate
Bulla took Withington to task for his re-
Election on Bulla's action, and quite a
heated alteration took place. The SYM
pathy of the Senate, as its action proved,
was decidedly with Bulla and the cause he
espoused
Incidentally it may be stated that 500
copies of each Senate bill are ordered
printed, and that out of this number 100
are sent to the Assembly, 200 are used to
supply, presumably, although not in real
ity, various State Offices and newspaper
| correspondents, and sixty are for distri-
button among the Senators and statutory
officers of the Senate. Not since the ses-
sion began has any correspondent had a
copy of bill placed on his desk, and wha
becomes of the additional 140 copies of
bills is mystery.
Senator Bulla stated to-day that he had
heard that one Of the attaches in the Office
OF the sergeant arms had been each
day mailing forty FIVE complete files of all
bills to some individual, for which service
he was receiving a compensation of $5 a
day. Sergeant alarms Blackburn denies
that this is 10. There may be an investi-

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Jan. 25.-At an
adjourned meeting of the Board of Su-
pervisors to-day an almost clean sweep

officials were: The county physician. su-
periptendent of the County Hospital and
Poor Farm, janitor of the Courthouse and
grounds, night watchman of the Court
house and two guards for the prisoners at
work on the Tiburon boulevard. The
board had requested the designations

forthcoming, an order was passed declar-
ing the offices vacant, and then the fol-
lowing appointments were made: County

J. Wickman; superintendent of County
Hospital and Poor Farm, James Saunders,
vice James Bradley; Courthouse janitor,
V. Guide, vice M. Hennessy; night watch

The salary of superintendent is reduced
from S100 to $685. that of janitor from 800
TO $50, that OF night watchman to $55

Peculiar Distri6Ittion of Printed BtIIs to
Be Inresti0ated.
SACRAMENTO, Call, Jan. 25.-There
were two interesting episodes in the Senate
chamber to-day. One was in reference to
the appropriation bill for the State Printer,
and the other bore on what Senator With
ington designated as ''the robbery of the
sergeant-at arms office"
1t was the hour for the consideration of
Assembly bills, and under this head the
Assembly bill, amended so as to carry
5,000 as originally asked for by State
Printer Johnson, was called up. It had
been reduced by the Assembly to $50 900.
The Senate Finance Committee had re-
stored the SIS, 600. Chairman VOORHEES, ad-
dressed the Senate in behalf of the measure,
explaining that the State Printer had ap-
peareu before the Finance Committee and
had made showing that convinced them
OF the necessity for the $4,000 appropria-
ton.
Senator Wilmington was OF the opinion
that the appropriation ought to be cut
down to the figures fixed by the Assembly.
He charged that the expense of the State
Printing Office had been greatly increased
by the cost of printing reports, argu-
ments, ETC., for the Railroad Commission
in connection with 'the fake suit brought
by the Southern Pacific Company against
the Railroad Commission" He added
that all that had been accomplished by
the expenditure of large sum of money
in this suit had been the overruling of a
demurrer. Wilmington was quite carried
away with his spasm of economy.
Vonrbaia
was absolutely necessary if the business
of the Legislature were not to be blocked,
as there was absolutely no funds at pres
ent in the hands of the State Printer,
The amount asked for, he said, would
carry the State Printing Office to the end
of June, the close of the fiscal year, ana he
concluded by remarking that he did not
think it necessary for the Senate to make
gallery play for reducing the amount, as
had beer done in the Assembly.
The amendment to the Assembly bill
fixing the appropriation at $75, 900 was
carried by vote OF 81 TO 4.
Braunhart moved as an amendment TO
the bill that the mohey appropriated
therein should be applied to printing for
the Legislature only. He explained that
he did not think it right for the LegisIa-
ture at this time to provide for deficiency
in the State Printing Office. There was
some argument, and on being put to a
vote the amendment was defeated by 6
ayes to 26 noes.
1t is a notorious fact that for som days
it has been impossible for any one, sena-
tors included. TO get copies of certain bills,
Notwithstanding that a special resolution
was passed early in the session providing
that Senators, newspaper correspondents
and others properly entitled to them
should be provided with copies of all
Senate documents. The annoyance Gre
ated by this state of affairs became
so aggravated to-day that Senator With
ington was impelled to introduce the fol-
lowing:

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 25.-When
the San Francisco delegation held its first
official meeting as a Senate committee to.
day it took up Senate bill 80, providing
for reducing streetcar fares in San Fran
cisco during certain hours of the morning
and evening to 21l cents. Senator Dick
inson opposed the motion to report it
favorably, and said that before any action
was taken the street railways to be
affected should be given hearing.
Braunhart called attention to the fact
that the bill was in the hands of the Com
mittee on Corporations, of which Dickin-
SON is member, for some time Lefore it
cisco delegation. 1t was finally decided
to report the measure fayorabIy to-mor-
row.
The author OF the bill claims there is no
reason why the measure should not pass.
He alleges it is neither unconstitutional
nor unjust, as claimed by its opponents. In
support of his measure he cites an article
in a publication known as ''City Govern
ment." Using the facts and figures con-
tanned in this article the author of the ~
cent measure said:
"It is well-known fact, and one ac-
knowledged by the street railway people,
that San Francisco residents do more
riding in proportion TO population than
any city in the world. The annual gross
receipts of the Market-street system alone
are SO. o00. COO, and though it is capitalized
for about $17 500, 900, it pays fair dividends
every year.
Il have no doubt that it can be proved
that the actual value of the plant is but q
small portion of this amount. All that
claim, under the circumstances. Is that ii
the Toronto street railway, with a less
percentage OF riding population than San
Francisco railways enjoy, can afford tc
carry passengers for from 2& to 4 cents
each, those of San Francisco should Ger.

considerably better"
