Mr. Carpenter moved that, for the pres ent week, the Senate shall adjourn at 3:30 o'clock p. m., in order to give committees an opportunity to consider bills. Carried. The first bill taken up on the special file was S. B. 197, appropriating §6,000 for the completion of the stone steps in the Capitol Park. Mr. Dray said that two years ago the bill providing for the original work was amended, against his strenuous protest, by providing that the work should be done by day labor. The Capitol Commis sioners, in their report to the Legislature, explained the difficulties they had to con tend with on this account. Men had been forced upon the State through political pressure, and some of them did not do one hour's work in eight. Party service, and not competency, had been recognized as the proper qualification for employes on the work. This was the result of the amendment made to the bill at the dicta tion of politicians. The only way in which to have public work done is by contract, and if that ordered done two years ago had been let by contract it would have been well I and cheaply done. Mr. Campbell of Solano made a speech on the bill, in which he railed against in competent management of public work generally, including that let by contract. The bill was then passed by a voto of 25 ayes to 10 noes. Recess until 1:30 p. h. Afternoon Session. On reassembling, Mr. Heacock offered a resolution authorizing the Sergeant-at- Arms to pay certain demands for supplies for the use of the Senate. Referred. Mr. Cxoucher offered a resolution appro priating 575 to pay the balance due for ex penses of the inaugural ball. Adopted. PXKST READING OF BILLS. The following bills were read the first time: s. B. 128, providing for the levy and col lection of taxes by municipal corpora tions other than those of the first, second, i third and fourth classes. S. B. 215, authorizing the purchase of he land on which the Sisson and Lake ahoe Fish Hatcheries are located. S. B. 6, relating to the reassessment of property and equalization of the same, where a former assessment is invalid. ONE HUNDRED DAYS* SESSION. The Senate took up and passed Senate Constitutional Amendment Xo. 10, pro viding that the legislative session shall last for one hundred days. It was passed by a vote of 33 ayes to 1 no. The only Senator voting in the negative was Mr. Heacock. DEPOSITS OF PUBLIC FUNDS. S. B. 41, relating to the deposit of pub lic funds. Air. DeLong, the author of the bill, ex plained its provisions. He said that in December of each year a large sum of money was withdrawn from circulation for the payment of taxes, creating a groat stringency in the money market. The bill provides for the depesit of State and county taxes in responsible banks, so that it may be lent back to the people and put into circulation. In San Francisco alone there is now locked up and kept from cir culation some $4,000,000. That which is sound business policy for individuals, he maintained, would be equally sound for communities. The bill was passed by a vote of 26 ayes to 0 noes, It reads as follows: An Act to amend Section 4161 of an Act en titled "An Act to establish a Political Code," approved March 12, 1872, relating to the deposit of public funds. The People of the State of California, repre sented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1.

It shall be theduty of said Suite Treasurer to keep on deposit to the credit of the staff, with such legal deposita ries within the State, and of each of said County Treasurers, to keep on deposit to tl;e credit of his county, with such letral deposi taries within his county, not less than 7o per cent, of tin 1 public funds coming into his pos session; and where there are two or more such legal depositaries within any county, it shall be the duty of such Treasurer to deposit such deposits, as near as may be, equally among Mirh depositaries; but in no case shall either said State or County Treasurer deposit with any one of said depositaries an amount ex ceeding 30 per cent, of the actual paid up cap ital of said depositary. The money so de posited shall be withdrawn only upon the check of the Treasurer authorized "to disburse the same, and in payment of warrants, duly issued by proper authority, and payable by naiil Treasurer; and such check shall desig nate, by number, the warrant in payment of which It is drawn, the fund on which said ■warrant is drawn, and shall be payable to the order of the person or persons named in such warrant, or to their assignee. But the said Board of Bank Commissioners may, whenever they shall think it necessary for the better se curity of said moneys, order any such Treas urer to withdraw from any depositary the whole of the money so deposited; and upon such order it shall "be the duty of such Treas urer to withdraw the whole of such deposit from such depositary, and to redejjosit the same in some other legal depositary. Whenever any person or institution, desig nated as a legal depositary, shall wish to borrow the whole or any portion of the mon eys belonging to the State or to any county, or city, or city and county, in this State, they phull apply in writing to the State Board of Examiners, if it is State moneys that they de sire to borrow; or to the Board of County Sup ervisors, if it is county moneys that they wish to borrow; or to the City Council or other governing body of any city when it is the mon eys belonging to any city; and it shall be the duty of either of these Boards or governing bodies of cities, at the next regular meeting, to order a notice to be published in at least two of the county papers, published in the count v, or city, or city and county, in which tne meet ing is held, for at least ten days, notifying par ties wishing to bid for these public funds, to present their bid or bids, at the time and place designated in the notice, and it shall be the duties of these Boards or governing bodies of cities to loan said moneys to the highest and best bidder or bidders. AU such loans to be secured with bonds of the United States, or bonds of the State of California, or any county, or city, or city and county bonds of the State of California; all such loans to be on call, at the best obtainable rate of interest, to be paid on the average monthly balances, as they may appear from the State Controller, or County Auditor's, or City, or City and County Audi tor's report.

House met at 11 a. m.; Speaker in the chair. Roll called; quorum present. Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal of yes terday approved. REPORT. By Mr. Dibble—From Committee on Ways and Means, recommending passage of resolution allowing Chairman of each committee ?i0 worth of stationery. Adopted. THE WATERMAN PRISON INVESTIGATION. By Mr. Shananan: Whereas, The Assembly has passed a reso lution calling on the Governor to make an itemized statement of the expenditures inuile by Governor Waterman out of the approoi-ia tion of $10,000 appropriated by the last Legislature for the purposes of defraying the expenses of the Investigation O f the state Prisons; and, whereas, the present Governor, by his statement just made to this House, says that he has no record or statement con cerning the exiK-nditures of the same; there fore, liesolved. That the Committee on Commis sions be and they are hereby directed to in vestigate into the matter of the expenditure of said appropriation and report to this House thereon. Mr. Shanahan—I move the adoption of the resolution. The Speaker—lt requires a two-thirds vote. Mr. Shanahan—I hardly understand the necessity of that. The Speaker—The rules lay down the duties of the Committee on Commissions, and this is devolving a new duty on them, not contemplated by the rules. Mr. Shanahan—A'll I can say is that I hope there will not be a dissenting vote in relation to the matter. There is some &t>,700 unaccounted for by any statement in either, the office of the Governor or that of the Controller, outside of the fact that the Controller is able to certify that Governor Waterman drew the money. Now it is certainly due the people that some statement or showing should be made with reference to the expenditure of that sum. It is a good round sum, and there certainly should be no objection to Governor Waterman, or other persons connected with that investigation, mak ing a fall showing as to what became of the money. The resolution was adopted unani mously. SENATE MESSAGES. S. B. 7, amending Act for the comple tion of all unfinished municipal public buildings. Municipal Corporations. S.

LEGISLATIVE XOTES. Sonator Ostrom yesterday distributed several baskets of oranges among the Senators with tho compliments of the managers of the Marysville Citrus Fair. Senator Wilson supposed that his joint resolutions concerning Government foans to farmers would be taken up by the Sen ate yesterday atternoon, wherefore he had distributed copies of the speech he in tended to deliver in tlioir support. Ho was one day ahead of time. When the bill to appropriate money to complete the stone steps in Capitol Park was reached on the Senate file yesterday, a prominent Democratic Souator was pre pared to oppose it; but after Senator Dray had explained that the failure to com plete the slops was due to a clause in serted in tho bill at the last session, de claring that the work must be done by day's labor, and that incompetent men had been forced upon the Democratic Capitol Commissioners at big wages, tho gentleman concluded to forego his speech, and tho bill wont through smoothly. The constitutional amendment oxtend ing tho legislative sessions from sixty to on<! hundred days, paused the Senate yes terday wijh but one dissenting voice that of Senator Heacock. Tho Case of "Jack" Tucker Partly Ex amined in tue Police Court. John Moore was given an opportunity in the Police Court yesterday of telling how ho lost $250 in a hokey-pokey game at Considine's saloon several evenings ago. "Jack" Tucker, the dealer of the game, who was arrested at the instance of Moore, and charged with obtaining money by fraud and trickery, announced himself us ready for examination, and wr.s repre sented by attorney Frank Easterbrook. Hiram Johnson and City Attorney Hart conducted the prosecution of the case, which consumed a part of the morn ing session and the entire afternoon. A number of witnesses were sworn, and the evidence produced went to show that on the evening of the alleged robbery, the defendant and a couple of partners in duced Moore to play at the game and kept him-putting up his coin until he had lost $250. A party named L. Parker started to in .terfere and prevent Moore from betting all of his money, when ho was ushered out of the place and offered §5 if he would not interfere with the game. It was also in evidence, that when the police entered the place, a pack of cards, supposed to be a false deck, were thrown under the table by Tucker, the dealer. The defenne objected to many of the questions asked of witnesses by the pros ecution, but all of the objections were overruled. Judge Cravens declaring that he wanted to hear all of the details in the case, so that he might become thoroughly posted. The further hearing of the case was con tinued until to-day. He Is in Custody A.jj:iin. and Mr. Har low Feols Better. Ah Ging, the Chinaman who has been the source of so much anxiety to William H. Harlow of late, is in custody once more, and Mr. Harlow breathes freer. Ging's case was called in Judge Van Fleet's Court yesterday, but as another case was on trial the matter had to be postponed until February 3d. Ging and another heathen induced Har low to cash a bogus check for them some time ago. They divided the money, and were getting out of town when Harlow discovered that he had been swindled. A hot chase ensued, resulting in the capture of Ging. The other Chinaman, howover, escaped. Ging readily gave up his share of the spoils, and Harlow had so much confidence in Ging's ability to hunt up the other half of the money that he went on the heathen's bond. Ging then disappeared, and was not found until yesterday. In order to gain his liberty again Ging must find new bondsmen who will qualify for $1,000 each, that being the amount Judge Van Fleet fixed upon yesterday. A Bt. touli Merchant's Trip to th« Postoffice, and the Kesult. California's last sensation Is beginning to take hold of St. Louis. J. V. S. Barrett, the commission merchant of 122 and 124 North Commercial Street, «v one of the first to test Joj '■ Vegetable Sarsaparilla in sick headache*. Its effect was such a grati tjlag surprise that he went over to the post office and told his friend, Thos. P. Culkin, snp't of the registry division, who was also worried with headaches. The following let ter details his friend's experience also:— . - Postoffic*. Bt. Louis, Feb. 20, 1890. J. V. S.

Taking your advice, I purchased a bottle of Joy's Vegetable SarsapariUa.

Accommodations Equal to Those En joyed in Any City In the Country. Tho equipment of the Central Street Railway with electric apparatus is almost completed, and it is now authoritatively stated that tho road will be operated by the new system some thne during the coming week. The value of this change to the city of Sacramento can hardly be estimated. It will prove a very import ant factor in tho improvement of the city and will unquestionably greatly advance the value of property, not only diroctly up the thoroughfares traversed by the cars, but upon the contiguous streets. As the people are all anxious to know what kind of servico is to be expected from the new system, a reporter of the Record-Union yesterday called upon Mr. J. H. Henry, the proprietor of the line, and asked him a number of pointed questions. Mr. Henry said, in substance: "We propose to give the people of Sac ramento first-class service in every re spect. During the summer we thall run open cars and during wet weather will use closed cars and combination care, the latter being partly open and partly closed, similar to those useu on the cable cars in San Francisco. ACCOMMODATE EVERYBODY. "We shall endeavor in this way to ac commodate all classes of people. You know that the best customers of all trans portation companies am smokers, and yet they are the most neglected, as a rule. Whore only closed cars arc used the gen tleman who wishes to enjoy his cigar while on his w:iy to his office must walk. Even where tho combination car is used its purpose is not anderstood by many ladies. Take the cable cars on Market street in San Francisco. Of course smok ing is allowed on I ho open part of tho car, but it is often tilled with ladies, who pro test if a gentleman smokes there. We shall have signs upon every open car, stating that smoking is allowed on the roar four or live scats. If a lady does not object to smoking and wishes to owupy one of those seats, she is at liberty to do so, but she will be constantly reminded by the sign that the- gentleman who is enjoying his cigar on the Bame seat has a perfect right to do so, and that his com fort, :is well as hers, h;;s boon considered by the company. On the combination curs, if smoke is offensive to ;; lady, sho h:\s only to occupy that portion of the ear where smoking is prohioited. "There will be no difficulty In tolling at a glance jast whore a>ear is going. The cara running out .1 street will cany green tint's and green lights, while those that go up M street will carry red fluffs and rid lights. Those cap be seen readily as the oar approaches and will prevent all mistakes. CATCH EARLY TRAINS. "The cars will commence running at 5 :J:0 a. it, from Oak Park, to connect with the 0:15 train, and up to 10o'clock will be iv charge of the motor man, pas sengers depositing- their fares in the cash box. After 10 o'clock a. m. all cars will also carry a conductor. Cars -will bo run so as to ineA all trains up to 12 o'clock at night. All of them will be used up to 10:30 p. m., after which time a sufficient number v.ill be kept on to accommodate travelers, theater-goers and those whose business or pleasure calls them out late at ni<jht. ••During the morning hours, up to 10 o'clock, every other car will run to Oak Park, and after thut hour every ear will m&ke the mil trip. "Jjpis will give «h-t- s clasß aoooßUßodatiena to the people re siding in the ■aixxrha of the city. "One of tho mo:,t important things nnde,r the new system will be tho fact that the cars will bo run on exact schedule time. Time-cards will bo issued, show ing the passing points, so that persons living alonjj tho lino will know to a min ute when they can exffeet a car, in eitiior direction, at any given point on the lino. Thus a poison desiring to take a certain train will know just What car to catch in ordor to be at the depot on time. "Of course all this will not work smoothly tho first few days, as new men niust bo broken in to handle the cars, but in a very short time everything will be working smoothly ami we will give a service that will bo appreciated by the people."
