seemed inspired with brutality. He took
no stock In the assertion that Whitaker

other outrages similar to this.

wAsHIsoros. April 1s.-Ths House
Committee on Commerce have agreed to
recommend the passage Of . bill OF
much interest to yachtsmsn in San Fran
cisco and elsewhere, which provides for
large reductions in the present charges
for licensing and inspecting small sail.
ina vessels used exclusively for purposes
of pleasure. It extends the privilege OF
license 10 yachts Of less than twenty
tons burden. and provides that all
charges for license and inspection
fees for any pleasure vessel or
yssht shall not exceed five dollars.
and for admeasursmsnt shall not exceed
tan cents Der ton. The COMMITTEES in
the accompanying report says: "As this
class OF boats are very numerous, and
some quite small, your committee see
no reason Why the charges fIsd In TIL.
bill should not be ample, and oil that
they should pay, believing that the In.
creased number Of yachts under it,
operation will yield to the government
lust a much revenue a the present
law, and relieve them from what now
appears to be excessive charges"

Not only have the Mechanics Union
and railroad come to an understanding,
but the very best feeling sxists between
the two organizations. They probably
feel about like two p~rize-fghters who
have had Q bout or two in whish neither
was worsted, but in which each felt the
others power. Now Tom Clarke has
come mp and applied for admission into
the Union. That settles Tom. II he is
blackballed (ot which there is little
danger, he will still have the right to
run his engine by virtue Of his having
applied for membership. Had he done
so before all would have been we'll. But
hs chose to apply at Carson and there
his application Was rejected and that
upset all. The applications Of the en-
R~insers for membership in the Union Is
all that Ia needed. When the Society Of
Locomotive Engineers has been estab.
lisbed in Carson these men can then
ioin there and all will be well. Every
body in connection with the affair Is to
be congratulated.
