THE ASSEMBLY MEETS,
BUT GREEN Is ABSENT

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 23.-Milton Jay Green, po-
litical mismanager to U. S. Grant Jr., still
suffers from feet frappe.
Not he but another certificate answered
to his name this afternoon when he was
called TO the bar of the Assembly to say
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt.
But the thaw has set in and by We'd
nesday Mr.. Green's physician thinks the
Green feet will be running all over every
where. But the thaw has set in. The
same certificate brought the glad td-
ings that the fever that has surged IN
the Green head has bumped up against
the chill in the other extremity and the
one is neutraliZng the other. By We'd
nesday, saith the leech, the process Will
doubtless be complete and Milton Ieet
well on the run.
Mr.. Johnson who made the same mo-
ton on Monday, moved again to-day that
two days more be given Tor the radiator
and compress of Japanese stoves to get in
their work.
Outside of the non-appearance of Mr..
Green, nothing broke the monotony of the
day in the Assembly, unless perhaps
when the following rhetorical pyrotech-
MICS went off from the desk of Assembly
man Caminetu of Amador:

s-t,ar Ir- aradt

The display was enjoyed by every one
save Judge Clough, who got up to say
that he begged permission to suggest to
the State OF California that it do not try
to run the whole Congress of the United
States. MIR. Caminetus resolution was
consigned to the Committee on Federal
