STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. 22.-"We shall
have coal in these bunkers by the 1st of

Alameda and San Joaquin Railroad, this
morning, at the big structure just COM

which the coal from Corral Hollow mines
is 10 be stored while awaiting shipment.
The Lunkers are ready for use now, al
though there Is little fnishing-up work
to be done. Mr.. Barber believe that house
coal will be sold to dea ers here at such a
price that thev can afford to sell it to the
con umer for $5 ton. Steam coal will be
sold much cheaper than Mount Diablo
coal, when the realative heat-giving quail
ties of the two are considered, though not
any cheaper in volume.
The company, according to the agent,
has twenty coal cars for use between here
and the mines, each provided with appa-
ratus for dumping the coal, and in addi-
ton it has eighty fat cars with four-foot
side pieces. The cars of the latter type
will be used in distributing the output of
the mines to the various towns through
out the valley, while the former cars are
for Use exclusively in handling coal be-

UNIQUE SCHEME
FOR WHEELMEH
Senator Simpson Wants to
Build an Elevated
Path.
Would Insure a Fine Road From
Los Angeles to Pretty
Pasadena
introduction of Bill t. Secure Rights
of Way for the Popular Mode
of Travelling.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. Ex-senator
Simpson OF Los Angeles has a constituent
who is wealthy and is an enthusiastic
bicyclist His name is Dobbins, he re-
sides at Pasadena, and he has unique
scheme in the interest of those who have
wheels. He wants to build an elevated
bicycle path between Pasadena and Los
Angeles, distance of eleven miles. In
order to facilitate this project Senator
Simpson introduced two bills to-day. One
of them is as follows:
The Legislature or other body to whom is
intrusted the government OF any county, city
and county, city or town, may under such
regulations, restrictions and limitations as 1t
may provide, grant franchises for the con-
struction of paths and roads, either on the
surface, elevated or depressed, on, over, across
or under the streets and public highways OF
any sucn county, city and county, city or
town, for the use of bicycles, tricycles, motor
cycles and other horseless vehicles for term
not exceeding fifty years.
The other extends the right of eminent
domain to the condemnation of land for
rights of way for bicycle paths or roads.
Syeaking of the matter to-day Senator
Simpson, who himself is fond of an oc-
casional spin on the silent steed, said:
"Locomotion by bicycle is getting to be
so general that it seems some provision
must be made for the people who resort to
it, and who are becoming more and more
numerous. We have got to look forward
to the time when we must prepare all our
public roads and streets for the use of
bicycles"
The Senate Committee on Elections de-
cided to-day to canvass the ballots in the
election contests of Welch and Tyrrell
against Hall on Thursday next at $3.50
A. NJ.
There was to have been meeting of the
Senate Committee on Constitutional
Amendments tonight to consider an
amendment extending the right OF suf-
frage TO women. There were Opposing e
delegations of women present, who were
prepared to argue the question, but owing
to the absence of a quorum, the Senate
having adjourned until Monday, the hear
ing was postponed until Monday evening,
much to the disappoin of the ladies.
A bill was introduced by Senator Braun
hart to-day repeating the right of the
Harb Dor Com missioners TO lease any por-
ton of the water front to railroad COM
panies or other private corporations for ex-
tended terms. The law was originally
amended to give the commission right
to lease to the Valley road. It's purpose
having been accomplished it is deemed
best now to restore the law to its original
condition. This proposed change will not
in any way effect tn Valley road s lease.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 22.-Senate
bill 80, providing for a reduction of street.
car fares In San Francisco to 21S cents
during certain hours of the day. has had
and is apparently destined to have hard
time of it. Already it has been the object
of attack within and without the house in
which it first saw the light of day. 1t was
introduced by Braunhart on January II
and referred to the Com mittee on Corpo-
rations. Here it remained until yester-
day, when 1t was amended and then re-
erred TO the San Francisco delegation.
Here it is to be further amended between
now and Monday, when it is expected to
be reported to the Senate.
But the most serious opposition to its
effectiveness is TO come apparently from
the corporation against which it is par
ticularly directed. Should the bill be-
come law its operation will be obstructed
by the Markets street Railway Company.
The author of the bill to-day received
the following letter from the San Fran
cisco Assertion of I'm provement Clubs:
''At our meeting held last evening the
committee to whom had been referred The
subject matter of your bill (30) reported
having interviewed H. E. Huntington,
who stated that in the event of the pass
age of such Bill the company would stop
all transfer privileges and would fight such
legislation before the proper judicial au-
thorities, the highest of which has held
against the summary interference with
the reasonable revenues of corporations"
In this communication several minor
arnenGmen were suggested and these
will be made at the meeting of the San
Francisco delegation on Morday.
General Manager Vining of the Market
street Railway Company stated in the
course of an interview had with him in
San Francisco that it would be impossible
for the company to reduce fares as pro-
fvided in this measure, as 1t cost the COM
pany more for the wages of the motormen
and conductors than 21z cents for each
passenger carried. He claimed, in fact,
that the profit of the company on each
fare was only fractional part of cent.
On the part of those who favor the bill il
is claimed, however, that the reduction
provided for will increase the traffic to
such an extent that the profits of the COM
pany will not be dim ;nisaed. If the mat
ter is taken into court, as threatened by
II. E. Huntington it may be many years
before the public enjoys the benefit of the
law, judging from the present status of
the attempt OF the Railroad Commission
to reduce grain rates per cent on the
lines of the Southern Pacific Company.

passed the City Council, shall, before it takes
effect, be presented to the Mayor for his ap-
prevail The Mayor shall return such ordi-
nance or resolu ton to the City Council within
ten days after receiving it. If he approve it
he shall sign it, aud it shall then take effect.
II he disapprove it he shall specify his objec-
tions thereto in writing. If he do not return
it with such disapproval within the time
above specified, it shall take effect as if he had
approved IL.
The Mayors veto can be overridden by
ree-fourths vote of all members of
the legislative body.
This measure was drawn by ex-Judge
Van Reynegom, aud a reason assigned for
its passage is that under the decision Of
the Supreme Court in Mcdonald VS..
Dodge and Clark VS.. Jennings, the Mayor
is powerless TO act even in so comman
thing as a job in street work before the
Board of Supervisors. This proposed act
extends the provisions of the consolidation
act so as to give the Mayor also the power
10 veto franchises, and is intended to
generally counteract The effect OF the loss
of the veto power, resulting from the adop-
ion OF the county government act.

RESTORES The vEro PoWER.
BrGunhart's Bill to Increase the Re-

BrGunhart,s Bill to Increase the Re-
sponsibtE3ty Of the Mayor.
SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 22.-What
ia designed to largely restore the veto
power of the Mayor of San Francisco, as it
stood before the passage of the county
government act, is bill introduced to-
day by Senator Braunhart.
Under the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Jacobs VS.. The Super
visors, the Mayor cannot veto a water
ordinance, and under the decision in the
case of Truman VS.. The Supervisors he
cannot veto tax levy. Il is held that he
is thus restricted because the Legislature
in passing the county government act re-
pealed that section of the consolidation
act which vested that power in the Mayor.
Braunhart has already introduced a
measure, which has been favorabIy re-
ported by the committee, giving the
Mayor power 10 veto any water ordinance,
and to-day submitted another bill on the
veto question, the salient features OF
which are here given:
Every ordinance, and every resolution of the
city Council of any municipality, providing
for any specific improvement, or the granting
of any franchise or other privilege, or affecting
real property interests, or the expenditure Of
more than 500 of the public moneys, or levy
ing tax or assessm ent, or establishing rates for
artificial, and every ordinance or resolution

measure relative to the Police Courts of
San Francisco. The other day Bert intro
duced bill on this subject, and when it
came up for second reading Braunhart Of
fered more comprehensive and reforma-
tory measure as substitute. Action on
the matter was deferred, so as to permit
the two Senators to come to some amic-
able arrangement and so save the time of
the Senate. AT their conference to-day
Bert agreed to the measure of his Demo-
cratic colleague, with the exception that
he wanted Police Judges to be elected
instead of appointed by the Mayor, as pro-
vided by Braunhart. He also insisted
that the number OF Police Courts shall
continuet to be four; Braunhart wanted to
reduce them to three. The amended bill
will be reported back on Monday.

the adoption of the report, entered into a
defense of Duckworth. He said full in
vestigation would throw the blame on to
the shoulders of others as well as Duck
worth. Duckworth was the Eve; the
House was the Adam of the occasion. He
offered the opportunity and the House
accepted it.
North offered another amendment, pro-
viding the appointment OF committee by
the chairman.
Duckworth here asked for permission to
address the House. Shanahan objected.
The chairman announced that unanimous
consent of the House was necessary.
Duckworth thereupon withdrew his
request
North's amendment was then adopted.
While reading the report for final adop-
tion Duckworth suffered slight stroke of
apoplexy and was obliged to retire from
his desk.
The report was finally adopted as
amended and the House adjourned until
Monday morning.
