A somewhat graphic description OF
the little impromptu excursion on tho

Grove, formerly called Riddles Woods,
shows the wonderful progress OF engi-
neering railroad skill In our vicinity.

road passed through or centered In our
CITY. Now the Delaware branch OF
the p, W. & B., now part OF the great
Pennsylvania gridlron of railroads, Is Its
principal feeder and centres In this
CITY. Next came the Wilmington and
Northern Railroad that connects VII
mington with Reading and gives our
city AN outlet by the valley OF the
i;randywine to the Pennsylvania Cen
trail at Coatesville and from thence all
over the country. Soon Afterwards the
Delaware Western Railroad, from
Wilmington to Landenbsrg was built,
and which is now . part Of the great
Baltimore and Ohio labyrinth Of rail
roads that permeates at will wherever II
pleases to extend Its lines. This lattel
gives to Wilmington one OF the highest
safest and most beautiful iron BRIDGE

BROKEN UP.
The Labor Convention in San Francisco Closed
by the Socialists.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-The convention
called by the Knights of Labor, which
opened last Monday, closed to-. night. Ses.
sions were held every night of the week ex-
cept two. The convention opened under
excellent auspices and with hopes of accom-.
plishing much toward practically solving tie
labor question of the Pacific coast, but has
accomplished nothing. Many good results
that might have been obtained favorable to
the workingmen were defeated by the nom
senslcal resolutions offered by the Socialists,
who were largely represented. The prob
lens submitted for the consideration of the
convention were the Chinese question, con-
vict labor and the cause of the present COM
mercial depression. AT the meeting a reso-
luton was adopted that the Chinese be
notified TO leave San Francisco within sixty
days. This was finally amended to read
"immediately," and tina. the owners of prop
erty occupied by the Chinese be notified that
unless they turned the Chinese out their
property would be endangered. The knights
of Labor delegation Immediately left the
hall and the same evening they informed
the convention that they could not endorse
any resolutions tending toward violence, and
gave notice of their Withdrawal. This prac-
tically ended the convention, as their exam
pie Of Withdrawing from IL was followed by
number of other organizations.

SPARKS MopIFIES HIMSELF.
Entries Not Subject to Reasonable Doubt
Will be Patented"
ISpeciaL TO Pioneer Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Commissioner
Sparks has been crowded so heavily that he
gave way a little 10 day and issued an order
modifying his famous edict of last April.
There was rumor about the department
this afternoon that the general" had de-
cided 10 issue patents for all entries filed
before he took charge of the office, which
would have relieved $4,000 settlers in the
Northwest from his clutches; but he did not
90 so far. He only threw very small tub
to the whale, and issued an announcement
that he will permit the issue of patents upon
all Centres not subject to reasonable doubt, v
namely:
First-In contests where the rights of sue
cessfu. patents have been established, which
means that persons whose claims have been
contested and who had presented evidence
to sustain their legality, will not be deprived
of the result of their contest. This refers
only to exceedingly few claims, perhaps a
dozen or more a week.
Second-He will certify patents where
eminent detectives and no fraud found.
There are how about twenty agents and
detectives examining claims, and they m an
age to get through about four week, at
which rate it will take them something like
$50 years TO complies the work Sparks has
given them.
Thrd-IIe will certify TO homestead en-
tries where residence, improvements and
cultivation have been made according to
law. In other words, he will issue patents
to those who have lived five years upon their
homestesds and have made the legal i'm
provements andJ amount. Of cultivation re-
quired; but this class Is very small, as most
homesteaders who ha been industrious
and prosperous desire TO commute their time
and get their patents without waiting the
full time of five years. In order that the
settlers in the Northeast, from Is to 90 per
cent Of whom, according to Sparks, are
swindlers, may not impose upon the inno-
cent commissioner, Mr.. Sparks requires that
all such cases as above described shall be
submitted to a board consisting of Assistant
Commissioner tockslsger, the chic: clerk
of the department, and La Barnes, the chief
law clerk. As Mr.. La Barnes Is the man
who has made all the trouble and has con.
WINGED Sparks that the people of the North
sioner will naturally be limited.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
Sherman Elected President Pro Tenn

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Senate was
called 10 order at IL M. After prayer Ed
munds nominated Senator Sherman for
President Of the Senate, In accordance wit h
the caucus decision Of Saturday. Voorhees,
moved TO substitute the name Of Harris.
Yeas and nays were then ordered upon
Voorhees, motion.
voorhees, amendment was lost by a strict
party vote, whereupon Sherman was elected
without further division.
Committees we're appointed TO notify the
President and House Of the organization of
the Senate. Then upon motion Of Edmunds,
at 1925 o'clock, the Senate took recess of
half All hour to await the organization If the
House.
The galleries of the Senate have not for
many years been SO crowded on the OPEN
ing day of the session. The walls of the
Senate chamber were draped In deep black,
out of respect to the memory of the late
Vice President. Upon request of Secretary
McCook, Mr.. Sherman was escorted to the
chair by Edmunds and Voorhees,, and the
oath of Office was administered to him by
Edmunds.
Sherman then said:
Senators-I return you my grateful thanks
for the high honor you have conferred upon
me. In common with all the people Of the
United States, feel profound sorrow for the
sudden death Of the Vice President, who,
by the Constitution, Is also declared to be
President of the Senate. A contingency has
Low arrived when IL becomes the impera-
tive duty OF the Senate TO elect President
pro TEN. In accepting the position assigned
me, feel that there are many Senators on
either side Of the House more apt In the dis
charge of the duties of this position, and
more experienced In the rules and orders of
tie Senate than myself, still accept with q
sincere desire that may be able to enforce
the rules with kindness and impsrtiality, so
as to ascertain If possible the sense of the
majority Of the Senate, and TO give the
minority its full Constitutional rights and
protection. With sincere desire for such
protection and with sincere desire for per-
forming this duty, I appeal TO each individ-
ual Senator for his courtesy and forbear-
ance.

BARREN INVESTIGATION.
A Grand Jury Smell Mouse but Fail to See
Him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The United
States Grand Jury, which for some time past
has been investigating the alleged frauds In
connection with Chinese return certificates,
made its report this evening. Over ninety
witnesses had teen examined. Among
them were the publishers, editors and re.
porters of the newspapers of this city, and a
number of custom officials. After referring
TO the cal eless manner in which the certit-
Gates were kept by the officials intrusted
with their issuance, the report says: "While
the evidence before us perhaps did not posi-
lively fssten the guilt of fraudulently issuing
certificates upon any particular person, still,
that they were so issued, the jurors have not
the shadow of doubt. IL is equally clear
that gross fraud has taken place in landing
the Chinese since the restriction act went
into effect. II would seem that the loose
practices have grown up in connection with
the landing Of Chinese under writs of habeas
corpus, and possibly frauds have been per-
petrated in connection with it," The Grand
Jurors express the OPT nion in their report
that the authorities at Washington have not
always afforded the needed facilities for car
Tying out faithfully the provisions Of the
Restriction Act. The report concludes by
saying: awe are convinced that gross irreg-
ularities and frauds have been perpetrated,
and that these could not have been done
except with the connivance or assistance of
certain officials connected with the customs
department" The whole matter is the n
left to future grand jury without any in
dictments being found.

STRUGGLED CHINAMEN.
The United States Marshal Escorts Them Back
to British Columbia.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. A Seattle, W.
T., special says: The dispute regarding the
disposition Of the twenty. five Cinnamon
struggled from British Columbia was
brought to a close yesterday by summary
action on the part of the United States au-
thorties. This case has excited wide atten-
ton. 1t will be remembered that these
Cinnamon were found some months ago on
a rock in the Straits of Fuca, where they
had been abandoned by the master Of a
schooner, who had been attempting TO SNUG
gle them into the United States. They were
brought before the United States Commits
sioner, and the Marshal was ordered TO escort
them back 10 British Columbia. The au-
thorities of that province refused to receive
them without the payment of $50 head,
the tax required by the Canadian law. The
Marshal accordingly returned with them,
aud they have since been confined in the
United States penitsntiary at McNeill's
Island. On Monday last they were brought
before the United States Court here, and
Judge Greene instructed United States Mar
shall George to escort them across the bound
airy line and leave them in British Columbia
without regard to the protest Of the British
Columbian authorities. Marshal George
accordingly took them to Semiahmoo, a
town near the boundary line, and then
escorted them across the line and two miles
into the Canadian territory. They were
turned loose there, having previously been
supplied with provisions for several days.

A RAILWAY KING DEAD.
William H. Vanderbilt Expires at His Home in
New York.

New YORK, Dec. S.-William II. Wander
bilt died this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at
his residence, FROM the effects of paralysis of
the brain.
J. Pierrepont Morgan said that Mr.. Van
derbilt's death would have little or no effect
on the market; that the West Shore nego-
tiations would 60 on as before, and that q
cablegram had been sent to London with
information of his death, which no doubt
would be received there with good deal of
regret.
Pool Commissioner Fink said that Mr..
Vanderbilt's death would have no effect on
pools as he had been out of the arrangement
for some time. No doubt the death of such
prominent man would be felt as great
loss by the mercantile world.
Henry Clews said that Mr.. Vanderbflt's
death, no doubt, would have some effect OH
the market, as it would be used by those
who always sought to make capital out of
calamity, but this would not be of serious
character, and there was nothing to fear.
