NAPA ASYLUM
WANTS TOO MUCH

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 21.--A bill for the appropri-
alton of s155 900 for a dam and reservoir
for the Napa Insane Asylum was hit
with an ak by the Senate this afternoon
and it fell but little short of annihila-
ton. The Committee on Finance and
Claims had a first chance at it and cut
the figure to $75 ,000.' When the bill came
before the Senate Senator Rowelf had
another amendment to offer. He had been
on the last junket to Napa, and as was
remarked afterward by Senator Bulla, it
was one junket that had brought some
results Senator Rowen wanted to cut
the appropriation to 200. His idea and
that of the other members of the commit
tee was that 1t was only necessary to
purchase the materials and tools required
for the work and let the actual labor be
performed by the capable inmates of the
Institution.
Senator Smith was in favor of either
allowing the asylum sufficient sum or
so place the matter that the report, of
experts could be secured upon the prob
able cost of the work. La Rue, who in
troduced the bill, declared he would
sooner see the bill defeated than have the
appropriation so materially shortened.
on vote Rowells amendment was lost.
The bill was then laid over to be further
amended to provide more safeguards for
the appropriation and then the bill will
come up as amended by the committee to
appropriate SIS GOO.

SENATOR SIMPSON RISES TO QUESTION OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Englishman and want England to get the
islands. i do not think the United states
can govern its own country ana am
against annexation.
Inquiry was made by wire to ascer-
tain the residence of the particular Cox
that commended Simpson, and the fol-
lowing message from Pasadena was re-
ceived:
PASADENA, Feb. q. 1885,
Yes, John S. Cox, a real estate agent,
resides here.
Investigation therefore establishes
the fact that John s. Cox lives in Pasa-
dena, and it Is presumed that he wrote
the letter commencing Senator Simp-
son. However, The Call hastens to
apologize to the "bloomin' Britisher"
who bears the name of John II. Cox.
1t is clear that John H. Cox, the man
referred to in The Call of yesterday,
did not write the letter of commenda-
ton to Senator Simpson and the letter
which he did receive was from John
S. Cox of Pasadena. SO much for the
Cox family.
In regard to Dominguez, The Call re-
iterates the assertion that he has. since
the opening of the Legislature, written
letters to Senator Bulla wherein 10y
atty to the Senator's cause is pledged.
Simpson in his imbecile rage may roar
and use language that ought not to be
tolerated in the Senate. yet the fact re-
mains, and is capable of proof, that
Dominguez a few days ago was Bulla
man His letters to that effect can be
produced. if proof he challenged.

RULES OF THE SENATE

CALL. HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO. Feb. 21.-The expenses of the
Dennery-Ashe Senatorial contest Jared
badly before the Committee on Elections,
which has been considering the matter.
The original bill was for Sc .233 40, but this
was panned down first to something near
s27e0, and now to S1942 80. The stem
ographers have felt the heaviest cut and
the attorneys have been reduced from the
$500 asked for to the $500 allowed by the
rules Of the Senate. This includes fees of
all counsel on each side, or a total of
5000; The report was adopted.
. The Committee on Attaches and Mileage
submitted a report recommending the
payment to c. S. MCMILLAN the salary of
assistant minute clerk from February 4
to February 49, This was allowed after
some opposition from Smith. who said it
was a bill to pay an employe who had
not been regularly employed.

submitted a report providing that no Sen

Nor was this all on the matter of rules.
Stratton submitted an amendment to the

to the consideration of the files. which
provided for the recognition of the sadly
neglected third reading file. The third
reading file has been left unnoticed for
the past ten days, and the report of the
Committee on Rules providing for the
consideration of the urgency file at all
possible times placed the unfortunate
third reading file still farther away from

BILLS PASSED BY THE
SENATE YESTERDAY

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 21.-The Senate to-day
adopted Macks Assembly joint resolution
relative to the setting over and establish
ing granite posts to mark a true bound
airy line between California and Nevada.
During the day the Senate passed Senate
bills 326 and 446. The first of these, in
troduced by Stratton, amends the title to
an act entitled IAN act to provide for the
payment of interest on the outstanding
bonds of the State of California, held in
trust for the university fund and the
State school fund; to repeal an act of the
Legislature of the State of California, ap-
proved March a. 1881, entitled An act to
verSity of California, for money hereto
fore appropriated to the endowment fund
thereof, which moneys have by mistake
been withheld therefrom and appropriate
an appropriation to pay the interest on
said outstanding bonds from January to
July /, 1888 approved March 8, 1893; to
amend section 4 of the same act, and to
appropriate the sum of $l6,747 SO now in

AN ERROR OF AN
INITIAL CAUSES
MUCH CIRCULATION
Senator Simpson Wakes Wroth
and Uses Bad Language Over
a Mistake of The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 21.-"Damned Internal
liar" is what Simpson said on a ques-
ton of privilege in the Senate to-day,
referring to the author OF the state
ment published in The Call that Jonn
S. Cox was "bloomin' Britisher."
Cox commended Simpsons conduct in
changing his vote from Bulla to Burns.
The Record Union of Sacramento, in
an effort to brace up poor old Simpson,
published an extract from Cox's letter
to the Senator. A prominent citizen of
Los Angeles County, observing the
newspaper comment, informed The Call
that Cox was not a naturalized citizen
and that his home was not in Pasadena,
but in Los Angeles. Now it happens
that Los Angeles County covers con-
siderable territory and embraces large
population. 1t also happens that the
Cox family is quite numerous and act
i've in that~region of the State and that
the members have quite q liking for
real estate and insurance business.
The particular Cox which the inform
ant of The Call had in mind was John
H. Cox, a real estate dealer in Los
Angeles, who extends his operations to
Pasadena. 1t was recollected that he
opposed Hawaiian annexation and gave
as a reason that he was an Englishman.
The Call wired to Los Angeles to as
certain what Mr.. Cox had said in pub
lished interview. The reply came as
follows:
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 81, 1899.
In Record, January 20, 1898 mot in the
Express), thus: John H. Cox-I am an

corral and sent by confidential messen-
gers to the various counties. The great
est secrecy is maintained to withhold
the proceedings from the knowledge of
the people The methods adopted are
so unfair and unprincipled that the &C
ton of pliable committees has no weight
with members of the Legislature.
II was expected early in the evening
that the Barnes forces would hold a
free conference tonight, but owing to
the lateness of the legislative session
the supporters of the general did not
come together.
Washington's birthday tomorrow
will not be observed by a cessation OF
work in the Legislature. The Senate
and Assembly will meet as usual and
go ahead with the work on the files
There are no indications tonight OF
changes on the joint ballot for Senator
tomorrow. There were rumors this
afternoon that several of the Bulla fol-
lowers and some of Grants support
ers would vote tomorrow for Thomas
r. Bard. but this event is likely to be
postponed for several days. Mr.. Bard
remarked to a friend tonight that he
did not come here to prolong the con-
test.
= The situation is unchanged in this
respect. It is acknowledged by the
touts themselves that Burns cannot win
without a caucus, and it is not GER
tainty that a caucus would give him
the Senatorship. Should the Legisla-
ture adjourn without having elected a
Senator to succeed Stephen NJ. White
the act would be accepted as notice
served on the machine" and the rail-
road that the Republican party was
willing to submit the question of the
SenatOrship to the people.
