tive Sessions.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April l3.-Platt took
the floor on his resolution relating to
open executive sessions. The question
was political one, he said. but in no
sense was it question of party politics.
1t rose above all party questions. 1t
was the most important question Of adj
ministrative reform to which the Senate
could at this time devote its attention.
Frye to-day reported favorably from
the Committee on Commerce an amend
ment intended to be proposed to the Post
office Appropriation bill. 1t increases
the appropriation for the transportation
of foreign mails from $4,000 to
81, 900, 900, and provides that this
amount shall include the cost OF railway
transit across the Isthmus of Panama.
The amendment further changes the
bill SO MS to direct the Postmaster Gen
eral to enter into contracts with Ameri-
can built and registered steamships
whenever possible, for the transporta-
ton of any part OF said foreign mails
after legal advertisement, with the low
est responsible bidder, at a rate not to
exceed fifty cents per nautical mile on
each trip each way actually travelled
between the terminal points, provided,
however, that the aggregate OF such
contracts shall not exceed 100000 of
the sum hereby appropriated.

Two reports by the minority Of the
Judiciary Committee upon the resolution
submitted to that committee inquiring as
to the power of the government to insti-
tute suit at the instance of private corpo-
rations to annul patents we're presented
to the House to-day. The first report,
which is signed by Messrs. Parker, Il. b.
Taylor, Hepburn and Caswell, after an
exhaustive review of precedents. recon-
mends the enactment of a bill comforting
the necessary power upon the Attorney
General to bring suit at the request of
the Secretary Of the Interior, in which
no issue shall be litigated that can be de-
termined in private suit. Messrs. Rarey
and J. w. Stewart unite in the second
minority report, holding that there is no
authority for a suit ia the name Of the
United States brought for the purpose of
vacating patent for an invention except
when il is based upon state of facts
which cannot be regarded by the court
and made available in an infringement
suit, and that in no case can the name
Of the government be properly lent to a
suit in the interest only of private par

SAN FRAscIsco, April lS.-Reports
received from twenty-eight chief grain
counties Of the State show that the
heavy rains Of the last four days, instead
of iniuring, have largely benefited the
crops, especially late sown grain. In
some few instances early sowD wheat
has lodged. bnt reports clearly show
that any injury done to advanced grain
will be more than eounterbalanced by
the benefit to late sown grain. Prospects
at this moment for an immense wheat
crop Of good quality were never better
in the history OF the State. Fruit and
grape prospects are equally good. the
rains having done no injury beyond re-
tardipo cultivation.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-04-14

Man is dependent upon his surroundings
for the necessities OF life. Air and water
are necessities OF life, but impure air and
impure water are most prolific sources of
disease. Food is also q necessity OF life, but
numerous diseases are traceable both TO the
lack OF necessary food, and an over fndul-
gence in special kinds of nourishment.
Besides these external sources OF disease,
there are other more subtle and internal
causes. Each individual inherits from his
parents certain physical constitution.
Each person, therefore, derives his chances
for health and disease from adouble source,
namely his Inherited constitution and his

charge Of the District Attorney for
felony with having committed forgery
A short time ago when Crooks bonds
had been fixed at fifteen thousand dol
lars by Justice Haverly, a writ of habeas
corpus was Issued on the ground Of ex-
cessive bail. Judge Hatch, Of the Su-
perior Court. reduced the bail to fifteen
thousand dollars, which was given.
Last Wednesday application was made
to set aside the bail on the grounds of
insufficisncy. Pending the decision a
telegram was received and exhibited to
Judge Hatch saying that Judge Hunt
had approved the bail ia San Francisco

sureties. Judge Hunt is now in Santa
Barbara and denies ever having seen or
approved such a bond. Crooks was
taken before Justice Hayeriy and is
