VALUABLE PROPERTY.
Transfer of the DumbartOn
Tract-Obiect of the beat.


SAN Francisco, March 3.-The
formal transfer OF the large Dunbar
ton tract on San Francisco Bay to the
corporation known as the River, Har-
Dor and Canal Dredging and Land
Company, has formally taken place.
The property transferre ed comprises
strip about II miles long, by from
21S to miles wide, beginning at a
point nearly opposite Alvarado and
extending south to Alviso and includ-
ing the Cape known as Dumbarton
Pt int. 1t is intersected by nine navi-
gable sloughs, at the heads of which
are established six shipping points or
landings, fully equipped with ware
houses and lumber yards. The main
channel at the point has a depth
of about SO feet at low tide,
and is about half a mile wide
affording continuous waterway to the
Golden Gate. This is the only point
on the eastern shore OF the bay, south
of Oakland, accessible to large ves-
sells. The property has total area Of
10000 acres, and the corporation has
made deposit, agreeing to pay 1919,
600 for the tract. Taken in consider
alton with the rapid construction Of
the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Valley railroad through tie San
Joaquin valley, which is declared to
be the line by which the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad will
seek entrance into this city, the pur-
chase of the Dumbarton point is cred
tied to the Santa Fe road. The San
Joaquin road is now nearly graded
from Mojave to a point near Tracy,
and its engineers are now looking for
a pass below Livermore to the bay OF
San Francisco. This would furnish
direct connection from Mojaye to the
bay of San Francisco.

THE BAR SINISTER.
1t Does Not Entail a Loss of the
Rights of Heirship.


SAN Francisco, March 3.-Judge
Cofey rendered decision to-day in
the Jessup will case in favor OF Rich
ard Page Jessup, claimant of the es-
tate of Jerome P. Jessup, who died in
this city less than two years ago, leav-
ing an estate valued at 100000. 1t
was generally understood that he died
bachelor and with no heirs save a
brother and sister. The present
claimant appeared and urged that he
was a son of the deceased, born out OF
wedlock, and that Jessup had always
recognized him as son. The Court
holds that the evidence is ample that
Jessup recognized the claimant as his
son, and that fact entities him to a
share in the estate as an heir.

HE HOUSE.
The Pc cific hallway Telegraph
Bill Passes.


G. Seymore, successor to S. O..
Moffatt. of Michigan, deceased,
appeared before the bar Of the House
and took the oath of Office.
Laird of Nebraska, from the G
mittee on Military Affairs, reported
a bill authorizing the construction of
roads from the entrance OF the Pre-
sidio at San Francisco to the National
cemetery. Calendared.
Tillman OF South Carolina, from the
Committee on Banking and Currency
reported bill authorizing the issue
OF fractional silver certificates. Re-
ferred to the Committee of the Whole.
Craine of Texas, from the Com
mittee on election of President and
Vice President, reported back his
joint resolution proposing constitu.
tional amendments, changing the
time for the commencement Of the
Presidential term and changing the
date for the annual meeting of Con-
gress. Put on the calendar.
The House then resumed as special
business the consideration of the
Pacific railroad telegraph bill and
White (of New York; took the fool
in opposition to the measure.
Symes (of Colorado) said that
the purposes of the bill were
merely to compel the subsi
died railroads to comply with the
conditions OF the provisions of the
grants creating them. The contracts
between the Union and Central Pa.
cific railroad companies, and the
Western Union Telegraph company
were void alb initio, and no lawyer in
America knew it better than the gen.
tie nan from New York, (White).
They were at the time they were
made, and still were, in direct viola
ton OF the express provisions OF the
statutes and grants creating the Pa.
cifc railroad and telegraph companies,
and were in violation of the public pol
icy and against the public law. The
contracts under consideration had been
made with the object and intention OF
defe ating every substantial require
ment of the grants. After Jay Gould and
his ring had conducted the Union Pa
cific as long as they could make any
thing out Of it, they had walked off,
leaving the company bankrupt, and
taking along with them the assets oi
the telegraph lines, with which they
levied discriminating tribute from the
people west of the Missouri river.
Dockery, of Missouri, said that
under the granting acts the Pacific
companies were required to construct,
not only railroad lines, but also tele.
graph lines. Instead Of doing so they
had assumed to divest themselves OF
their obligations by contract with
the Western Union Telegraph Com.
pany, comforting upon that company
the exclusive right-of-way along the
railroad lines. The acts of Congress
requiring that telegraph lines along
the Pacific roads should receive all
business without discrimination were
nullified by this unlawful contract
with the Western Union Company.
Dockery, after attacking Jay Gould,
said that competition was essential tc
the best interests of the whole people,
and if necessary (and he believed it tc
be necessary to the power of the gov
ernment.
At the close OF Dockery's speech
White offered his substitute, which
was rejected without division, and
the bill was passed. Yeas, 1877; nays,
4. (Bliss, Ketchem, Merriam and
White nays.) The House then ad'
journed.
