TWO NEW BILLS.
Two bills which Richard wished to
| introduce were referred to the Com
mite on Introduction of Bills. One
amended the Penal Code relating to
search warrants, and the other makes
it misdemeanor to efface trade
marks.
! Later the committee reported favor
ably on the introduction of the bills
and they were numbered 1901 and
1902. These are bills drawn in correc-
ton of two which were vetoed by the
Governor, and which the author hopes
to get through satisfactorily. On mo-
ton of Dibble, the bills were made a
special order for Monday.
| The introduction Committee also re-
ported favorably ON Browns A. c. A.
25, relative to the method of choosing
United States Senators.
YOSEMITE SETTLERS.
On motion Of Caminetti, s. ]. P. is,
announced to have been adopted by
the Senate, was taken up for imme-
diate action Camineti explained that
it called for petition to Congress con-
corning the settlers in the Yosemite
Valley who desire their property rights
established more clearly, and that the
Mariposa delegation desired to tele-
graph Congress yesterday afternoon.
The resolution, was read and adopted.
NO RECONSIDERATION
! On motion of Dibble, at Johnson's re-
quest. Johnson's notice of motion to
reconsider the vote by which A. B.
755. the pure food bill, was passed,
was laid on the table, and the bill was
thereafter unimpeded in it's course to
the Senate
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
Under this order Senate amendments
to three bills were concurred in anu
the bills sent on their way to engross-
ment, enrolment and the Governor.
They were as follows:
Johnson's A. B. 51-Authorizing the
Governor to appoint agents to collect
the war claims of California against
the Government. The Senate amend
ment reduced the commission of such
agents from Is per cent to 10 per cent

first bug in the county government
bill was killed by unanimous vote.
FOLSOM ROAD PROPOSITION.
Smith offered an amendment to Sub
division II of Section 25 striking cut
| the words land for the payment of
the interest and redemption Of bonds
issued by the county for the location,
construction and repair of roads and
highways
] The subdivision relates to the levy
ing of taxes on the property of re-
spective counties, and Smith said 1t
j would be unwise to make a law by
which municipalities might be taxed
for the construction of a road outside
their limits.
Doty explained that the clause had
been inserted for the benefit of Sacra-
mento City and County, in order that
the city might pay its quota toward
the construction of the proposed ma
cadam road between this city and Fol
som.
While the Senate understood and ap-
preciated the situation, it felt that to
pass such a law would be to jeopardize
small municipal corporations WITHIN
large counties, and in the end Smith
amendment, striking out, WAS adopted
by vote of Is to r.
Further consideration of the bill was
made a special order for Monday next,
after the reading of the journal.
| HAIL. DEWEY.
! Assembly messages were taken up
and the congratulatory cablegram 10
Admiral Dewey, consisting OF the
words, California congratulates yeu'
was adopted unanimously.
| A NEW BILL.
A resolution by Smith, suspenclne
the Constitution to allow him to IN
| troduce a bill making an appropria-
/ ton to pay the expense of the funerai
of the late State Treasurer, Levi Rack
life, was adopted and the bill, NO
721, was introduced and referred ID
the Committee on Finance.

If cramped, tired feet could be

They want comfort.
