defeated
shortridge opposed the bill in the first
place because he said he thought 1t rlghC
and just that every one should know eA-
his constituents, and there was only one
way of making that sure. DAVIS was
also redhot after the bill. He brought IN

WORKING TO SAVE THE
MINERAL LAND BILL

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA-
MENTO, March 2-The evening session
of the Senate was broken in upon by an
interruption from Washington. 1t was
telegram from Marion de Vries in which
he asked the California Legislature to
take some action, and take it at once. in
order that he might get the mineral land
bill, of so much Importance TO the miners
of California, before Congress. The end
of the session was near, he wired, and
any action that was taken must be i'm
mediate to be of any effect.
Senator Davis was given the telegram
and he fixed up the following resolution:
Resolved, BY the Senate and AssemDiy
of the State Of California, jointly, that we
earnestly urge immediate Consideration Of
the mineral land bill now pending in Con-
gress, and respectfully request Hon. T.
B. Reed, Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, to recognize some member
of the California delegation to call the
same UP for consideration before the close
of the present session.
Resolved, That the secretary of the SEN
ate be instructed to transmit by telegraph
a copy of the foregoing resolution to the
at Washington, D. c.
In submitting the resolution Davis
asked e1 that a vote suspen1ding the rules rule
ed and wired back to Washington at
once. 1t looked as if this would be done,

before the Car of the House and beg him

said he thought it was no time for petty
peanut politics." and he had no answer
except to call for the roll call. Braunhart
explained that it was. to the form of the
resolution that he objected, not to the
sentiment it expressed, and so he would
vote for it anyway, which he. did. There
was not dissenting voice and the resolu-
ton went through in a moment.
The mineral land bill now before Con-
greSS is one which segregates from the
land granted 10 the Central Pacific Pail

found to contain mineral deposits and
lays them open to settlement by miners,

reasons why Burns should be consid-

why it is that all of the misdeeds that

An old confidence game was played
by a gypsy woman upon Uncle" Sam
Jenkins, an old darzy of Union City,
by which she secured s4O0. Last week
a gypsy woman went to the darky's
house, and after telling him some of his
fortune, informed him that there was
large sum of money buried near his
house, but she could not locate it IN
lets he had about 800 with which to
work the charm. The innocent old
man got the money and gave it to the
gypsy, who went through lot of iu-
carnations, and pretending to replace
the money IN the pocket-bOol1, stuck it
down into a corner of the trunk and
informed Sam that he must not touch it
in three days, at the expiration of
which time he could open it, when he
would find in the book full directions
to find the hidden riches. When Jen-
kins opened his trunk instead of find
ing his greeubacks and directions for
finding the secreted wealth he found
the book stuffed with brown paper.
The nearly crazy darhy hurried to the
officers with his tale of woe. Officers
went in pursuit of the gypsy and she
was caught at Newbern. The money
was recovered, and as the old darky
did not wish TO prosecute the woman
she was released.

nature of festival, so novel was the ex-
perience to the Chinese women, whose lives
are passed almost entirely within the walls
of their yamen. They examined her cloth
ing, and were partly pleased and partly as
tonished at it. They were shocked by her
shoes, and especially by the fact that her
feet were not confined by bindings.
Finally one of them said, through the in
