SEVERAL HARD FIGHTS
IN THE LOWER HOUSE

CALL HEADQUARTERS sACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 16-Discussion rather than
accomplishment characterized to-day's
proceedings in the Assembly. The morn
ing was consumed in debating Cobb's
constitutional amendment exempting
non-profit paying school property from
taxation; the afternoon to a warm and
somewhat acrimonious squabble over AS
sembly bill SOL, substitute for Ander-
sons Assembly bill rs, which was origin
ally intended to prevent the authorities
at the Folsom State Prison selling rock
crushed by the prison rock crusher to
private contractors for use on city
streets. The substitute is designed to
effect just the contrary; instead of keep
ing prison-crushed rock out of competi-
ton with the product of free labor and
private quarries, it will open the gates
to the article crushed by the convict labor
at Folsom, and throw the 600 or 800 men
employed In the Solano County and Rock
land quarries out of employment.
The bill came up as the first number on
the third reading file and was immedi-
ately attacked by Speaker Anderson, who
had called Assemblyman Wade of Napa
to the chair in order that he might head

APPROXIMATION.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 16.-The bill for the appro-
priation of 900 for the great exposf-
ton has progressed as far as the Finance
Committee OF the Senate. 1t came before
that committee this evening just after
the adjournment of the Senate.
Charles L. Patton was present to ex-
plain and to support the measure and the
committee gave the matter most careful
attention. 1t was faVorably considered,
but there was some fault found with the
language of the bill and the legal element
of the committee wanted to amend 1t so
as to, make more direct and apparent
just who was to handle. the funds of the
exposition.
The bill as drawn up was fashioned
on the lines of the measure: providing an
appropriation for the California exhibit
at the Worlds Fair at Chicago. 1t was
considered that q close adherence to that
measure would be the safest course to
appropriation. The promoters of the Pa
citic Exposition expected no trouble with
this one, There was objection, however
and the duties of the commission of fif-
teen will be even more clearly defined
than they are in the present measure and
1t will be made more evident just what
power and duties the commission will
have: 1t is only a question of amendment
and it will not delay the bill more than a
day. 1t will then be reported back to the
Senate with the favorable recommenda-
lions of the committee.
Only the bill appropriating the State
money was considered by the committee.
The one providing for county appropria-
tons was not taken up nor is it the iriten-
ton of the committee to do so until the
appropriation bill has been made ready
for passage by the Senate.
The county appropriation bill was taken
up by the Assembly Committee on NUM-
ctpal Corporations, however, this after
noon and without a dissenting vote was
reported back to the Assembly with IA
Vorable recommendation.
The members of the committee are AS
semblymen Raw, Dibble, Merrill, Barry.
Bliss, Mead and Meserye. There was com,
paratively no discussion, as those gentle
men had made up their minds that the ex-
position would be of infinite benefit to the
counties which they represent as we'll as
the immediate vicinity of San Francisco
Such was the substance of the remarks
made by them when the matter came up
for discussion.

NO CHANCE FOR THE
NICARAGUA CANAL BILL
The Belief Now Is That the Whole
Matter Will Go Over Until
Next Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Nor
gan did not allow the action of the House
in knocking out Hepburn's Nicaragua
canal amsndment to the sundry civil bill
to discourage him. He has now pro-
posed practically the same measure as an
amendment to the river and harbor bill
The prevailing belief now is that the
projecs will be carried over to the next
Congress. The House Republican leaders
are gearly all known to be very much
opposed to the canal because of the large
amcant of money 1t will take out of the
treasury, and Speaker Reed does not con-
ceI ms ms opposition His power is great
as presiding officer and chairman Of fhe
Committee on Rules. Every Since the
Foposition was advanced to tack the
anal bill to the river and harbor bill
l a the senate there has been fierce oppo-
sltion, for the reason that Senators and
Representatives who, have items in the
latter measure have been afraid it would
also fail to pass if loaded down with this
seneme. They have, it is said, per-
slstently bePeed Frye and other members
of the Senate Commerce COMMITTEES to LET
the matter drop. Upon the whole the out
look for the Nicaragua canal bill becon1-
ing a law at this session is decidedly I'M
favorable. -
