bell, Harp, Mead, Ostrom, Ragsdale and
Voorliies.

1421 were each read the second and third
times and passed.
two days' recess.

viding that the Senate stand adjourned on
the following: day, out of respect to the
memory of the late General W. T. Sher
man, that being the date of his obsequies,
and that thero be no session of the Senate
on Monday, that being a legal holiday.
Adopted.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS.
Mr. Heacock offered a joint resolution
| requesting Congress to increase the pay
of the Census Enumerators. Referred to
the Federal Relations Committee.
Mr. McComas offered a joint resolution
asking Congress to adopt a uniform sys
tem of national circulating medium.
Same reference.
Mr. Heacock, from the Committee on
Claims, reported back the bill to allow
the claim of A. B. Dibble for legal
services, recommending its passage as
amended.
THK JORDAN CLAIM.
When S. B. 04, making an appropria
tion to pay the claim of Dennis Jordan
for work done on the Folsom State
Prison, amounting to £7!),000, came up,
Mr. Heacock ottered a substitute therefor,
providing that Jordan be permitted to sue
the state for the amount of his claim. Ho
spoke in support of the substitutes and
against the Legislature allowing the
nlftirn,
Mr, ("roucher advocated the payment of
the claim, and declared it to lie a shame
! and disgrace that tho State had so long j
evaded the payment of a just and honest i
j debt.
The substitute was lost—ayes 8. no. s 23. i
Mr. Heacock again spoke against the.|
original bill, and in doing so reviewed
the history <>f the claim, as revealed by I
the journals of past Legislatures. The j
State Board of Kxaminers, Ik; claimed,
had not had sufficient time in which to ]
inquire into the merits of tho claim, and
their recommendation was no argument!
in its favor.
Mr. Ostrom also spoke against the bill,
and Mr. Campbell of Solano favored it.
The lattor said that if the State owed any
thing U> Mr. Jordan it was bettor able to
pay it than ho was able to loso it. The
architect of the prison demanded un
reasonable things of Jordan — even im
possible tilings — and the architect
dismissed bim because ho could not ac
complish them.
Mr. Goucher said if (here were any of
his constituents who would disapprove of
his advocacy of the allowance of this
claim, be would be proud of the fact that
he did riot represent such people. He be
lieved, the State to be in nonorbound to
pay Mr. Jordan for the work ho had
done, and money expended for its benefit.
Daring lii.s argument Mr. Goucher \\-.:»
asked by Mr. Ostrom certain questions
regarding the history of the case, and re
plied: "Tho Awts are aO set forth in the
appendixes to the journals of the Legis
lature, and —although the gentleman is a
Democrat—l am credibly informed that
he can read." [Laughter.]
Tlie roll was called, and by a vote of 22
ayes bo 9 noes, the bill was ordered to en
grossment and a third reading.
TO VISIT SAN" QUKNTIN.
Mr. Preston (the Chairman) asked per
mission lor the Prison Committee to visit
San Qucutin.
Mr. jieacock hoped the rule limiting
the number to three members would be
adhered to.
Mr. Preston said that three other mem
ber:; of the committee wore very desirous
<•!' visiting San Qaentin, and as he wished
them all to go, he (Preston) would pay
bis own expenses, if there was any seri
ous objection to their going.
Tho request of the committee was lost
—ayes '■£>, noes 2—it requiring a twy
thirds vote of the Senato to change the
rule.
Mr. Heacofk then moved that three
members of the committee be permitted
to visit San Quentiu. Carried.
Mr. Mahonoy offered a resolution grant
ing permission to Messrs. McGowan,
Broderick and W. H. Williams, of the
Committee on Commerce and Naviga
tion, to visit tho San Francisco water
irons,. Adopted.
A MAMMOTH KILL.
Mr. Campbell of Solano at this point
struggled through the center aisle to his
seat under a load of manuscript, which lie
laid upon the Secretary's desk with the
remark that he desired to introduce a bill.
It proved to be an embodiment of the
amendments to the County Government
Act
Mr. Harp introduced a bill instructing
the Clerk of the Supreme Court to pre
pare a new list of all the attorneys in the
Slate who are eligible to practice before
that tribunal.
At 5:; jO the Senate took a recess until
7:' Mp. m.
Evening Session.
Tho Senate met at 7:"0 o'clock r. >r.,
Lieuteiiant>-Governor Keddick in the
chair.
Mr. Goucner called up his motion to
amend RuLs 7, so as not to conflict with
tho new joint rule governing the consid
eration of bills that have passed either
branch of the Legislature.
Mr. Hcacock moved, to refer Mr. Gou
elier's motion to Die Committee on Rules.
Carried.
The committee at once returned its re
port, recommending that the amendment
be adopted. So ordered.
The special order was the consideration
of the advOTße report of the Committee
on Kules, relative to the limitation of de
bat >-s to live minutes.
Mr. Heacock moved to amend by pro
viding that the limitation should not ap
l!v to any debate on the apportionment
biU,
Mr. Goucher said there were other im
portant matters to be discussed, notably
the county division bills, and thought
thi'.t the limitation might ■work an injury
tv this time. Important matters should
have full and free discussion, and he
thought it would be wise not to take any
action on the matter at this time.
Mr. Mi'ijowan also spoke against the
proposed amendment, which he regarded
in tne ii;;!it of a gag-law and the abridg
ment of free speech. 11 was too danger
ous an experiment, impolitic and un-
American.
Mr. Seacock said that, notwithstand
ing the remarks of the Senator from
Fresno asd liumboldt, he believed the
rule a good < :ie. It would be better to
shorten tin hours of labor than to waste
the time at the Senate In useless debate.
>':-. Preston favored the proposed
amendment. Unless such a rule were
adopted the Senate would not be able to
dispose ol'iinuiyof the bills on its lilr-. Be
believed that tbe majority of the Senators
eouMjpreseial their views on any bill in
live mmnftfw
Mr. Carpenter was opposed to the pro
i limitation, as it practically shut off
•. He hoped the committee report
would !*•.■> adopted.
Mr. Seacock's amendment exempt
ing the ::;i£X>rtionment bills was lost—
ayes ill. do* a i 7.
Mr. I'oL.oug then moved, to amend tlie
original imposition by providing that
by the consent of* majority of the Senate
a Senator may be allowed to extend his
remarks beyond live minutes.
Mr. Mead thought a half hour would be
short enough tir.it to allow for speeches.
Mr. Goucher held that no five-minute
rule should be adopted until within a few
days of adjournment, when it would be
proper.
Mr. DoLcnig's amendment was lost—
ayes IS, noes !■;.
Tho report of the committee (adversely
to the proposed limitation) was then
ftnbpted ayes 18, noes 12.
MINERS' MEMORIAL.
Mr. Voorlues asked consent to take up
S. J. K. 17. relative to tiio mining indus
try. [The resolution memorializes Con
gress to pass a law auUioiiKbig tho Secre
tary of >\";ir to appoint a Board of Engin
eers to invtstigaie the mir.ing districts of
the State, MM nomrnission to have the
power, after such invf^t igation, to grant
the privilege of working such mines as,
in their judgment, can be operated with
out injury to other interests: said com
mission to have the further power of de
vising and executing plans whereby min
ing, in all its brandies, may be carried on
without injury to agricultural lands and
the navigable streams of tho State. To
this end Congress is asked to appropriate
§1,000,GU0.]
Mr. Ostroru opposed the resolution,
claiming that it placed in the hands of a
lev.' engineers a power that would be
above that wielded by the St;ue.
Mr. Dray also spoke against the resolu
tion. He said it empowered three or live
engineers to come out here and sru aside
the judgments Of the State and Federal
Courts, which had already decided which
mines could operate and which could not.
He wanted to have the resolution laid
over until some more, equitable agree
ment could be arrived at.
Mr. Sprague spoke in advocacy of the
resolution. He held that its scope bad
been misconstrued. The proposed com
mission could take no action that would
interfere with the rights of any estab
lished industry. The resolution merely
provided that the engineers might be
empowered to ascertain, if possible, some
means by which the ancient and honor
able industry of mining might be pur
sued without injury to any other interest.
He hoped the resolution would be
adopted.
Mr. Preston and Mr. Mead supported
the resolution, and Mr. Goucher spoke
against it; and finally Mr. Preston
moved to amend by striking out the
clause giving the commission power to
grant the working of such hydraulic
mines as in their judgment could be
operated without injury toother interests.
The amendment was adopted and the
resolution then passed unanimously.
CONGRESSIONAL APPORTION MKNT.
Mr. Voorliies moved to take m> out of
order the substitute for S. B. 888, dividing
the Stale into Congressional Districts.
Mr. Goocber said he would object to
granting that request unless the Republi
can majority would agree not to pass the
bill to engrossment at this time. Tho
Democratic minority wished to oiler some
amendments and desired to have them go
on record.
Mr. Heacock assured the gentleman
that the Republican majority had node-
I sire to tako any action tins time that
! would operate to shut off any opportunity
i for the Democrats to offer" sucn aincud
! mentsas they might wish.
Mr. Goucher was not quite satisfied
with the guarantee, and insisted that the
i author of tho bill (Mr. Voorhies) should
consent to his proposition.
Mr. Voorhies seemed inclined to do so,
but he and Mr. Goucher could not under
stand one another, and the latter con
tinued to hold the floor for the purpose ol
i delaying or preventing action on the bill.
Mr. Mead (a Democrat) made an effort
to impress upon Mr. Goucher the fact
that there was really no necessity for a
misunderstanding, but he would not bo
so convinced, and continued to alter
nately read and discuss the bill.
Finally, at 10 o'clock, it was agreed thai
I the caucus amendments should be eon
; sidered, the bill ordered reprinted, but
| not engrossed ; and that the Democrats
j should have two days alter Tuesday next
in which to propose and discuss their
amendments.
'Several amendments agreed to iv cau
cus (already published) were then read
and adopted, and tho bill ordered re
printed and made the special order for
r Thursday next at 7:.">t> p. ji.
