ton, which was adopted:

ing liquors as a beverage in the State

A BURST OF PATRIOTISM.
On the Senate special file stood yes
terday a Senate joint resolution, No.
IA, offered by Wolfe, asking Congress
for the return of the First Regiment
California Infantry, U. S. ", to their
homes and families without delay. That
resolution stands there no longer. 1t
is laid on the table" whence it is not
likely to be called back. When it came
up in regular order Dibble rose and
said that had the resolution come up
on Saturday last he might possibly
have voted for it. but that to-day he
believed not soldier in the California
regiment would thank the Legislature
for adopting any such resolution.
Whilei Dibble was speaking a newspa-
per man came in with the news Of the
ratification of the treaty of peace, and
the attack on Manila. by the insurgents
A page was sent to- Dibble with the an
nouncement. Judge Dibble gave it to
the House, and concluded amid con-
siderable enthusiasm, saying that ne
| could assure the Government that in
place of calling home her troops Cali
fornia stood ready to furnish more. He
hoped that the resolution would be laid
over for the present.
Belshaw moved that the resolution
be laid on the table. Unanimously car
ried.
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.
Valentine arose to a question of per-
sonal privilege. The San francisco
Chronicle" of yesterday morning
claimed that Valentine was seeking the
appointment of Commissioner for the
>southern part of the State under his
bill providing for a California exhibit
at the Paris Exposition The bill calls
for a commission of three, one mem
Der each from the central, southern and
northern portions Of the State. Valen-
tine called attention to the fact thai
he had distinctly stated when the bill
was before the Assembly that he haG
so drawn it that he was personally not
eligible for such an appointment. The
explicit statement in the measure is
that the Commissioners shall be men
of experience in the promotion Of such
exhibits, while Valentine has never had
any such experience at all. Valentine
claimed that no cores ondent who was
present at that time could have failed
to understand him unless the CORE
spondent was deaf. He called for a
correction Of the assertion and said he
hoped it was an error and not an in
territorial Misrepresentation He said
he believed the reporters were mostly
truthful and intended to be so, but
sometimes they did not tell the truth
IN RE MILTON GREEN.
At the hour when Milton J. Green was
due before the bar of the House. the
usual physicians certificate was read
stating that it might retard Mr.. Green's
recovery if he appeared before the
House Upon this Works moved tc
postpone the special order in re Greer
for a half hour.
Valentine asked what was the reason
for this.
Works replied that he had been In
formed that a statement from Mr.
| Green was on the way to the Assembly
at that moment.
| The half hour was granted, but al
| the end of that time, no statement hav.
| ing arrived, Works again moved post
ponement until IL o'clock this morning
| at which time he said he confidently
expected the presence of Mr.. Green, Oh
| of statement from him which the
| Grant members hoped would satisfac-
| torily close this deplorable incident.
| Works motion was carried.
ON THE FILES.
