The Chinese cook Of the wrecked bark

picked up and taken to San Francisco by
the steamship Walla Waila last week.
has been prohibited a legal landing by
the Federal authorities. for the reason
that he has not his certificate. When
the unfortunate Mongolian was taken OF
the dismantled wreck all he possessed
was the shirt and trousers covering his
body, his bag containing other clothing
and the certificate having been left
aboard.
When the crew OF the barkentine were
taken aboard the Walla Walla the cap
tain of the latter neglected to ask the
Chinaman for his certificate; but the GUS

A BILL FOR THE
PARIS COMMISSION

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 16.-The initial meeting of
the Ways and Means Committee of the
Assembly was held this afternoon, and
the first bill to be recommended for pas
sage by the committee was one intro
duced by Chairman Valentine a week ago.
The bill provides for an appropriation of
$780, to be used in defraying the ex-
pense of collecting, preparing, forward
ing, maintaining and returning an exhibit
of the products of this State at the Paris
Exposition in 1900.
Chairman Valentine explained the bill
in it's entirety, and after some discussion
it was decided to amend it and recon-
mend it's adoption.
In the event the bill is successful Gov
ernor Gage will, within ten days after its
passage, appoint three commissioners.
one from the northern part of the State,
one from the central portion and one
from the south. The chief executive must
under the enactment appoint the mem
berS of the commission from the two
leading political parties of the State, and
1t will be known as The California Paris
Exposition Commission"
The commissioners so chosen must be
experienced in exposition work and will
receive as compensation the sum of $4,000
and their actual travelling expenses.

route may be the shortest line to the
treasury, but 1t is not the safest for the
originally, allowed for printing school
books. When 1t was allowed the idea
prevailed that the revolving, fund would
fund by the sale of books.
Senator Simpson gave notice late this
afternoon that he would call up the
measure the first thing tomorrow morn
ing after the reading of the journal
In the Senate this afternoon party linen
was washed and Shakespeare was quot
ed The quoting was done, by Senator
against such advice as ungracious pastors
give, and had application to the advice
given by the last Legislature in regard to
the employment of attaches: The wash
ing was done by Senator'S Doty, Braun
hart, Cutter, Smith and Simpson. Cutter
told of the Democratic Legislature that
eight-day clock. Each side accused the
other of extravaganza in the matter of
employing attaches.
The direct assertion was made by
Senator Smith that the minority Senators
of this Senate stood ready to join in any
scheme to enlarge the list of attaches,
provided the Republicans would "divvy''
on the patronage. Senators Doty. Sims,
La Rue and Braunhart denied that they
had asked for patronage. Doty intimated
that Sacramento did not want any
pie of merriment. Senator Smith an
nounced distinctly that the Republicans
did not propose to divide the patronage,
but did expect to amend the Belshaw
act so that the Legislature could employ
a sufficient number of clerks and other
attaches to transact the business of the
session.
The proposition to suspend the consti-
tuition and consider at once a bill to
amend the Belshaw law obtained twenty
nine affirmative votes Several Demo-
Gratis voted with the majority. The bill
was then taken up and passed by a vote
of % ayes to Il noes. When the Assembly
passes the bill the way will be open to
hire more help
During the discussion sharp and pointed
reference 1fnd was MADE 70 h senators who had

that Senator Cutter was one that derived
favors of this kind for his relatives. but

T0UTS PUT UP
A BOLD FRONT

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 16.-The touts of Burns are
''chortling in their joy tonight. They
put 1t UP that the disclosures concerning
the scandalous use of money to promote
the Grant campaign will so shock the
public that Grant will be compelled to
retire from the field Before the investi-
cation instituted to-day is finished the
colonel may be out of the race. The
methods employed by the agents of Burns
to Coerce and corral members of the Leg
islature are as disgraceful as the means
used by Grants agents to secure votes
On the witness stand some interesting
stories may be told of the methods en-
ployed to persuade members to vote for
the colonel
1t will be in order to ask Assemblyman
Clarke of Santa Clara If he was not
warned that failure to line up for Burns
would leave him without hope of getting
a single measure of legislation passed.
Assemblyman knights of Sacramento
tempt to compel him to desert the stand
ard of General Burns and march under
the Mexican flag. The men behind Burns,
who like to style themselves the "organ-
iZation," have done some raw and repul-
sive work to persuade members of the
Legislature to espouSe the cause of Her
rims candidate for the United States Sem
ate.
The members Of the Legislature are not
bound to believe that Burns is a politi-
cal saint because the Grant men have
been caught boodling. Speaker Howard

A GAME OF TlT-F0R-TAT
IN THE SENATE

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 16.-The great Importance
of the contest for United States Senator
did not prevent the Senate from holding
two sessions to-day. Senator Boggs was
granted leave of absence for three days
on account of sickness. Senator Stratton
presented petition with 1000 signatures.
The petitioners dwell in Alameda and
Oakland. They want the towns of that
locality consolidated after the fashion of
the city and county of San Francisco.
Senator Mutt introduced a little appro-
priation bill calling for $4,000 for the
Normal School buildings at San Diego.
Senator Simpson had evidently paid a
introduced a measure providing for the
immediate transfer of $4,000 from the
general fund to the State school book
fund. He desired a suspension of the
rules and a suspension of the constitu-
tional provision in order that the bill
should be considered and passed at once.
No one seemed to understand why such
extreme haste should be made, and few
were familiar with previous legislation
on the same subject. Two years ago the
Legislature allowed in the general appro-
priation bill $4,000 for material, supplies
and labor to print schoolbooks, and Gov
striking out the item. This time, perhaps,
1t was thought best to try the question
before Governor Gage on another ground
and thus secure the money by transfer.
There is practically no difference between
a transfer of the money from the general
fund and the direct appropriation of the
amount from the treasury. The transfer
