SPECIAL SESSION
PROCEEDS SLOWLY
NEW BILLS 0UTNUMBER
THOSE PASSED
Legislators Debate Merits Of Assem-
bly, Constitutional Amendment
No. 2 Until Midnight Win
out Taking Action
BY Associated Press.


SACRAMENTO, June 6.-Interest in
legislative proceedings Is centered to-
night on the fate of assembly constitu-
tional amendment No, 2 which has en-
countered additional opposition since
last evening and which was considered
at length in a meeting of the committee
held tonight.
Until adjournment this afternoon the
members of the assembly expected a
report from the committee on consti-
tutional amendments, but the measure
at q late hour tonight was still the sub
ject of a spirited debate in which Abe
Ruef opposed the objections of Matt l.
Sullivan, representing the Mission
Property owners association.
Mr.. Ruef i'm the course of his argu-
ment tonight consented to several
amendments suggested by objections
made. The discussion related largely
to the methods whereby the supervis-
ors are to take possession of property
required for the widening of streets.
Session Proves Interesting
The audience was not so large as the
one in attendance last night but the
session which continued until nearly
midnight engaged the close attention
of senator's, assemblymen and other
interested San Franciscans.
To some extent the division of opin-
ion on this bill and the importance
with which 1t has been endowed by
continued support and objection has
postponed and delayed consideration of
other affairs.
Neither house of the legislature was
able today to devote any extended per-
iod to routine business and the number
of bills finally passed was greatly out
numbered by the new measures intro
duced by permission.
Such committees as were able to de-
vote a reasonable time to consideration
of measures referred to them made
progress and among the bills ready for
report today are the constitutional
amendment providing for 10O-year
bonds in San Francisco and San Jose
and several appropriation measures.

noon session of the assembly lasted less
than an hour and adjournment was
taken shortly after o'clock until 1890
tomorrow morning.
The petition of the mission property
owners requesting the defeat of consti-
tutional amendment No. was read and
filed and several bills were advanced to
the last reading file.
The assembly finally passed the
measure authorizing the justices of
peace to extend the time to issue execu-
tons not to exceed ten days.
The assembly passed the constitu-
tional amendment relative to contracts
for payment of taxes on assessments on
money loaned or on mortgage. 1t does
not repeal the mortgage tax, as ex-
planned by Treadwell, but expressly
regulates every agreement between
borrower and lender whereby the bor-
rover agrees to pay the mortgage.

Program Cannot Be Changed

Under the rules agreed upon a change
in program cannot be affected at Rio
Janeiro by the vote Of two thirds of
the countries represented, and conse-
quently there will doubtless be strong
effort to make changes in case the
countries which are dissatisfied parti-
cipate.
Many South American diplomats be-
lieve the Drago doctrine should not be
submitted to The Hague for consider
alton, but should be adopted by the
powers on this continent without re-
gard to what European countries may
have to say about it, Several of the
powers in the western part of South
America are said to be in sympathy
with Argentina's position on the Drago
doctrine and interesting developments
are expected.
Several other sections of the pro-
gram are also unsatisfactory to a num-
ber of the powers who will participate
in the deliberations. The arbitration
section does not please Bolivia and sew
eral of it's neighbors, who wanted the
section made so broad that it would
also cover the disputes in the past as
well as those which may arise here
after.
Colombia and several of the other
western republics also desire the con-
sideration of questions relating to
commerce passing over boundaries and
the regulation of navigation on the
streams flowing through two or more
countries, but these subjects were not
passed upon by the program commit
tee and can be discussed at Rio Janeiro
only by consent of tWo-thirds of the
powers represented.

Think Force Unnecessary

"A resolution recommending that
the second peace conference of
The Hague be requested to consider
the extent to which the use of force for
the collection of public debts is ad-
missible."
This statement of the subject was
very distasteful to Argentina and sew
eral other powers. 1t practically adj
mitted that force Is justifiable in some
cases and provoked a great deal of
comment. The result was the restate-
ment Of the subject in the following
compromise terms:
"A resolution recommending that the
second peace conference at The Hague
be required to consider whether, and
If at all, to what extent the use of force
for the collection of public debts is ad-
missible.'
This statement does not grant that
the use of force is ever justified, but is
not a clear statement of the subject
covered by the Drago doctrine, in the
opinion of a number of the countries
which are to participate in the con-
gress.
Mr.. Drago, who is named by Argen-
tina as one of it's delegates to the Rio
Janelro congress, is reported to have
announced that he does not care to at
tend and participate in the discussion
of the program as agreed upon.
