The Senate.

WASHINGTON, December l3.-In the
Senate at the conclusion of Dawes
speech Morrill, moved the reference of
his resolution to the Committee on FL
nance.
Mr.. Beck opposed such reference,
and suggested that the Senators on both
sides should urge on their friends in the
House to pass some tariff measure so as
to bring the question before the Senate
in some practical manner and thus open
the doors fairly to debate.
Morrill, said he would be the last man
to cut off the Senator from Kentucky
FROM an opportunity of making speech
on the tariff. He, therefore, would not
press the motion to refer.
The resolution was then laid over, and
Senator Hoar moved to take up the bill
repeating the Tenure of Office act, Sen.
ator Platt protesting that special order
as to open executive sessions OF the Sen.
ale should take precedencs of any other
matter.
Pending the consideration of Hoar's
bill message from the House was pre-
sented on the subject of the death of
Representative, Dowdney, of New York.
A resolution was adopted for the ap-
pointment of committee to attend the
funeral. Senators Miller, :Rrnsom and

AT late hour tonight the dying

unfortunate man was farm hand,
recently from the country, and was
merely spectator at the scene OF the
trouble.
Yesterday afternoon number OF the
Car strikers held an open meeting at the
corner of Arrel and Mason streets. They
formed into a procession and marchen

and when the first car made its appear
anoe it was met by showers OF stones
from the boys. As other cars ap-
preached they met the same treatment
the strikers, however, taking no part IN
the assault. The boys obtained laths
with which they demolished the VIM
dows of the cars. The procession then
turned its attention to the other tied-up
line on Geary street, and here the cars
met with similar treatment. Ihe rolice
officers, when attempting to make ar
rests were, in some cases, badly bruised.
Twelve or fifteen persons were injured
during the disturbances, but none seri-

artist, and Neptune Blood, both testi-
fled that they saw Lady Colin Campbell
in London Sunday, August l3, 1883,
the day on which the defense allegs she
was at Purflot Hotel with the Duke of
Marlborough. Neptune Blood testified
that he had since beginning of the trial
examined the door of the dining-room in
Cadogan Place, through the keyhole of
which the man servant O'Neill testified
he once saw the plaintiff and the Duke
Of Marlborough in criminal intercourse
The witness stated there were flaps over

Blood, Lady Collins mother, testified
that the engagement between her daugh-

without her knowledge. She de-
MED that she pressed the mar
risge. She declared it untrue that Lord
Colin ever told her anything about his
health, except he said he had an opera

given her daughter in marriage to man
in such q loathsome condition as Lord
Colin was if she had known it.
The witness swore that Lady Colin
was in her (witness) house ON Sunday,
August l3. 1883. On cross-exanination
Mrs. Blood said she was anxieus to break
off the morriage between the defendant
and her daughter, because the Campbell
family treated her daughter SO badly,
and added sit was a wretchedly bad
marriage" The witness said she saw no
reason why her daughter should not as
sociate with Duke Marlborough, who
the witness declared was no worse than
many others who got off more lightly
Russell, the counsel for the plaintiff,
promised to conclude the case tor Lady
Colin ON Wednesday. The Judge said
he would hear respondents until mid

GOOD CIR EDIT.
United states Anxious to Loan to
Ring Kalakua.

SAN Francisco, December l3-The
Calls Washington special says; The
members of the California delegation are
considering what can be done to pre-
vent King Kalakua from negotiating a
loan of 50 900, 900 abroad, and it is be-
lieved the subject has already received
some consideration by the Secretary of
State. While powerless to prevent the
Hawaiian government from borrowing
money from whoever will lend, the
United States would not allow any for
eign power TO seize the islands or as
sume protectorate over them to satisfy
the claims of foreign creditors. The
members of the delegation think that
the only way the difficulty can be met is
by arousing such public sentiment
through the press as will notify foreign
capitalists that they cannot expect their
claims to be forced by the government of
which they are citizens without provok'
ing the peremptory opposition of the
United States.

CALIFORNIA WINES.
A Growing Demand for Them In
the East.

tAC
NEW YORK, December l3.-The Times
in an editorial on California products
says: As crops increase the producers
in California are learning new ways of
selling them. Owners of several vine
yards recently established agencies in
Eastern cities for the sale of their wines.
By escaping the Pacific Coast middle
men they nave been able to raise the
price which they had received by nearly
one hundred per cent. The adoption of
this system by all California producers
who make large quantities of wine
would work to their advantage and
to the advantage of Eastern consumers.
Many persons in the East who would
like to serve themselves and encourage
California producers by buying Califor-
MIA wines are restrained because they are
unable to procure wines under condi.
tions that insure their purity. If such
persons could trade directly with East.
ern agents of we'll known vineyards, the
consumption of pure California wines,
as substitute for the adulterated wines
of France, would be greatly increased.
California wines are counterfeited In the
the East, as recent condem-
nation of 5000 gallons of counterfeit
product by the officers of the Health
department in this city, clearly shows.
The greatest market for California wines
and raisins will be found in the Eastern
seaboard States. Notorious adultera-
tions of French wines has prepared this
market for the California product 1t
has created demand for purity in
wines, and this is demand which Cali.
fornia can supply. Now the California
producer should strive to perfect plan
by which he can put his goods into this
market under conditions that will con-
vince the consumer that he enjoys all
the advan tages which he would have II
he should buy at the vineyards.

OF mankind during the past sixty years
and comes to the conclusion that its
boasted progress is of doubtful credit to
the world in general and to England in
particular. A cynical vein of denuncia-
