NO CONCURRENCE IN THIS.

Another reference to next weeks bal
loting for senator was made by Mr..
| Welch's resolution, which, however,
failed to receive even a second. 1t
read:
Resolved, That at p. m. on Tues
day, the 18th inst the house proceed
to vote for a United States senator as
provided by law. and that each mem
Der, as his name is called, shall arise
and in a distinct voice announce his
choice for that Office and Immediately
resume his seat.
That no person, except the members
and officers and regular reporters, be
allowed on the floor of the house while
such vote is being taken, and that no
person other than members of the leg
islature be allowed to communicate or
converse in any way with any member
mat upon the announcement of the
result, the house shall thereupon adj

IMPORTANT RAILROAD BILL.
The first bill of the session was re-
ported for passage. It. was ReQresen-
tative Jackson's house bill No. II, to
amend section A33 of the revised stat
uteS SO as to empower railroad COM
panies to purchase and acquire branch
CIR extension lines of other companies
(not parallel or competing lines, how
evC-,), and authorizing the issue of
stock at par and certificates of indelot-
edness in payment thereof. The com
mittee on railroads, to which the bill
had been referred, recommended pas
sage of the measure, and the commit
tees report was adopted without dis
sent.
Representative Jackson explained
that while in the opinion Of Attorneys
P. L. Williams and LIE Grand Young
the present law on the subject might
be deemed sufficient. it would be just
as well TO round off a rough corner. as
it wece. thereby enabling the Union
Pacific Railroad company. which had
recently increased its capital stock, to
carry out its expressed intention of alb
sorbing the Oregon Short Line.
Mr.. Harris of Weber requested that
the bill go over so that he might look
into the matter. Mr.. Jackson consent
ed and on his motion the third reading
ard passage of the bill was made the
special order for Monday at p. m.
FIVE MORE BILLS.
The following bills were introduced,
read the first and second times, and
referred:

couched in the following language:

the committees or the members of this
house when not otherwise engaged"

Representative Jackson reminded the
house that Miss Halgren. one IF the
clerks, is a capable typewriter, and
served the last senate committees most
acceptably.
Even this testimonial did not suit Mr..
Shepard, apparently, for he moved the
appointment of committee to inquire
into the qualifications of the commit

The resulting discussion covered the
same wide range, that characterized
the references TO McQuarries resolu-
ton.
The resolution by the member from
Washington county was put to a vote
and lost, 20 against and II for.

CONvICTS' SCHEMES.

SAN QUENTIN-Nine of the most
refractory convicts incarcerated in San
Quentin were foiled in a scheme to
break prison last night. Jacob Open
heimer, who nearly succeeded in kill
ing Guard James Mcdonald last May,
was the ringleader Of the plot.
He made long tubes of pieces of a
religious paper left in his cell, extended
it through the bars to gas jet and
then set fire to his bedding. Guard
J. d. Jones saw the blaze and forced
the convict to extinguish it. Today
Oppenheimer confessed it was thought
the fire would cause the guard to open
the cells when he was to be killed and
an elaborate plan of escape carried
out
The prisoners said by Oppenheimer
to have been implicated in his plot are !:
"Sir" Harry Westwood Cooper, George
W. Schlegal, Alton H. Gould, George
Bullock, Frank Hunter, William Phe-
Ian, Sing Cheong, and Ed Morrell.

CRIME OF MARRIAGE"

SAN FRANCISCO-Judge Seawell
decided that the Board of Education
was powerless to discharge a teacher
because he or she married. The case
decided was that of Mrs. Emily w.
Beanston, who was displaced because
of her marriage. Mrs. Beanston ap-
piled for writ of mandate to compel
the board to reinstate her, she holding
that the board lacked power to dismiss
a teacher simply because she married
The court today granted the writ
Judge Seawell said the contention
made by the applicant was sound one
in law. The Political Code specified a
number of offenses for which teachers
could be dismissed, but the "crime of
marriage" is not enumerated among
them. In other words, the law does
not authorize the school board to class
marriage as an offense punishable by
dismissal from the department, and the
court thereupon held that the anti-mar-
riage rule of the board, so long in
force, is null and void. 1t is hardly
likely that there will be an appeal.

LOCATING CLAIMS.

Two notices of location of placer
mining claims have been filed in the
recorders Office at the request of Geo.
B. Tolman of San Francisco. These
include 400 acres of the bed of the Sac
ramento river, compencing at the
bridge at Knights Landing and running
south $4,000 feet The notices, dated Jan
uary Is, 1899, are signed by w. H.
Wickham, Geo. B. Tolman, Chas. H.
Jackson, A. M. Brunkherst, A. d. Jack
son, G. M. Tolman, A. w. Dunlap, M. L..
Jackson, E. Dunlap and M. Wenk. The
notices state that the claims are stu
ated in the Tolman mining district,
one to be known as the Golden Sand
Placer Mining claim and the other as
the Gold Hunter Placer Mining claim

CALIFORNIA; MINING EXHIBIT.

The San Francisco Chronicle states
on the authority of A. Ekman, who
has charge of the collection of Califor-
MIA gold specimens for the Paris expo
sition, that the collection will have
a value of 100000. The first shipment
of mineral exhibits was to have been
made this week, but for reasons not
yet made public the commissioners
have decided not to send it until much
later. Every possible branch of min
ing in California will be represented.
Two of the principal features, the
Chronicle states, will be a modern
quartz mill and a model of quartz min
ing underground. There is also to be a
model of gravel mining, which will be
perfect in every detail. The Almaden
quicksilver mine in Santa Clara county
has been selected as a model for a
miniature of that variety Of mine. A
novel part of this exhibit will be a
bowl three feet in diameter which will
be fitted with quicksilver. In this
liquid will be floated sledge hammer.
Great care will be taken of the exhibit
for the reason that the specimens of
gold will be so numerous that heavy
bonds will have to be given for them.

FIGHT ON FOOTE.

SAN FRANCISCO-The trial of the
Hite divorce case, which is now 60
ing on here is growing exciting. At
torneys w. S. Church and John A.
Wall, who had been denounced by w.
w. Foote as black mailers, denounced
Foote and warned him that they would
not submit to such accusations. At
torney Charles Hanlon also became
mixed up in the row and warned Foote
that if he mixed him (Hanlon) up with
the Matchmaking lawyers, he would
never do it again.
Foote replied holly and demanded
the protection of the court, asserting
that unless it were accorded him he
would protect himself. He said that,
although he was old and lame, he was
not afraid of the whole band of oppos-
ing attorneys, and could take care of
