heSOiVeQ, py the Assembly,, the SeIl
ate concurring, that the time for adj
journment sine die by this Legislature
be extended until Sunday, March 19,
1S99 at IL o'clock a. m.
This precipitated discussion and OPP
position, and several claimed it to be
a move to reopen the Senatorial ques-
tion.
Dibble protested that he had no such
intention and would promise that no
such effort should be made. Dibble was
finally taken at his word, the resolu-
ton was adopted and at once transmit
ted to the Senate, where. after stormy
season, it was Also adopted.
THE EXPOSITION BILL.
The bill which at first appropriated
$500 GOO for a Pacific Ocean and Inter
national Exposition, and was amended
in the Senate to carry am appropria-
tion of only $250,O0O, came up the first
thing last evening for concurrence in
the Senate amendment.
There was a little opposition, some
few remarks from Dunlap of San Joa-
quin and Feliz of Monterey to the eff
feet that some of the members had
voted for the bill on supposition that
the Senate would kill it, and only out
of compliment to the author, Cobb.
Also, they argued that one swallow does
not make a. summer, nor one rainstorm
a crop, therefore, there was no telling
what might happen, despite the recent
glorious rain, and California had bet
ter not spend the money.
But this only delayed things a little
while. Dibble, Caninetti, Cobb and
Works spoke in favor of the measure
and members We're only waiting an op-
portunity to vote for it. Even Judge
Clough, who sets his face against such
modern trumrery as worlds fairs. de-
clared he would give the "San Fran
cisco boys" one vote and his aye was
louder than ever
The amendments were concurred in
and the bin sent at once to enrolment
