The latest pension complaint made against the
President by distinguished SENATOR Is that he
has signed private relief bill passed by the Fiji
tieth Congress which Is Identical In terms and had
the same reports made upon IL Senate and Hou e.,
as one which he vetoed on the ground that the
oenenciary was undeserv1ng, when the Forty
ninth Congress passed it. But why quarrel with
him for doing this? Is he 10 be blamed Tor making
good mist Ike which he discovers he committed
year or two ago? Presidents are not proof
against errors OF judgment or memory any more
than Senators, and yet as eminent a Senator as
Mr. Hawley could say yesterday, In the course OF
debate that Charles j. Candl is assistant treasu-
rer or the Uaited states al New York-an orficer
on whom rests heavier financial responsibility
than on the Treasurer OF the UDited states him.
self-in spite OF the fact that the Senate, only a
few months ago, voted TO confirm Mr.. McCue as
Mr.. Canda's successor. Is IL any wonder, then
that the President, with Infinitely greater vari-
ETY. Of business 10 occupy his mind than any Sen
ator, should make mistake In respect to one pr1-
vate pension bill among the immense number sent
In TO hin since he entered upon his admlnistra-
ton?

SERIOUS WRECK ON THE s. P,

Associated Press Dispatch to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, March 15.-The ex-
ecutors of the will of the late William
Sharon have filed bill of revivor in
the United States Circuit Court in the
suit commenced by Sharon in 1883
against Sarah Althea Hill, now Mrs.
Terry, in which case the Court at that
time annulled the alleged marriage
between the two parties, but further
proceedings were abated by Shar-
on's death. The Court has issued a
summons requiring David S. Terry
and his wife to appear on April I'd
next and show cause why the suit
should not be revived and has also
issued an injunction restraining the
defendants from alleging the genuine
ness OF the marriage contract.

RAILROAD LANDS.
Forfeiture of Pacific Roads
Grants Suggested.

forfeiture OIL Pacific AOa0A,
Grants Suggested.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Although
the House Committee on Public
Land directed the preparation Of a
general bill forfeiting the railroad
land grants, the whole subject was
opened up fresh to-day by the action
of the subcommittee, which reported
bills for the complete forfeiture Of
the Northern and Southern Pacific
Railroads land grants, and partial
forfeiture of the grant to the Hastings
and Dakota Railroad Cou,pany.
The presentation OF these re-
ports occasioned O discussion from
which it appeared that there was a
misunderstanding on the part of the
members of the purpose of the resolu-
ton adopted at the last meeting Of
the committee. With a view of
clearing this and defining the senti-
ment Of the committee, Stone of Mis-
souri, offered the following resolution !:
Resolred, That the committee adopt
9 principle declaring a forfeiture Of
the entire grant where the roads were
not completed in the contract time.
Herman moved as an amendment
that the Northern Pacific be exempted
from operation Of the rule and argued
that the Committee should first re-
port the bills forfeiting the granted
lands opposite to the unconstructed
parts of the roads.
Thus6 the subject was carried back
to the position which it occupied be-
fore the preceding meeting, and an
attempt was made to vote on it. The
motion went over however till the
next meeting.

officer Del Wallets Experience
with Robbers.
Early yesterday morning Jo. Del
Vale, one of the bravest officers on
the force, came near losing his life at
the hands of burglars. About half
past three O'Clock Del Vale was
patrolling his beat near the Santa Fe
depot, when he heard noise like the
muffied report of revolver in the
direction OF A. r. Shafsr's saloon,
No. COS East First street. He at once
approached to ascertain the cause,
when he was confronted by three
masked men, who ordered him to
throw up his hands. Del Vale,
nothing daunted, shouted "shoot," at
the same time turning half round and
drawing his pistol. This action saved
his life, for one of the burglars fred
at him as he reached for his pistol,
the bullet striking him on the right
hip, but as he had ON q thick over
coat, it did not enter very far into the
flesh. Although wounded, Del Vale
sprang after his assailants, who were
then running away, and fred, but did
not succeed in hitting them, as it was
very dark, aud they were several
yards away. The burglars headed
for the depot and were soon lost
amongst the cars. 1t was stated yes
terday afternoon that Del Vale would
be incapacitated for several days, but
such is not the case, as he was around
the police station in the afternoon,
and said he was ready to 60 on duty
at the next watch.

Attempt to Blow Up, a Quartz
Mill at Nevada city.

Attempt to Blow UP a Quartz
Mil at Nevada city.
NEVADA, Cal, March 15.--An at
tempt was made to-day to blow up a
large quartz mill at the Providence
mine. Some person fastened four
sticks of giant powder together
by closely wrapping them, connected
the cap and fuse with powder and a
lighting fuse, and threw the package
into the water-p'pe that furnishes
the waterpower for the driving-mill
machinery. The bomb sped down
toward the mill, but became
lodged short distance from
it. The manager of the mill
noticed the water slacken and went to
the gate to learn the cause. As he
reached the gate he saw smoke COM
ing out, and he closed the gate with
great effort. Examination disclosed
the dynamite bomb above described
The edge of the gate in closing had
cut the fuse in two between the fire
and the bomb, thus thwarting the aim
of the malicious man or men who had
thrown it into the pipe, evidently in
tending to blow up the Providence
mill. It is supposed that the bomb
was thrown in by one of the discharg-
ed workmen.

GERS Van Luven and Fitch found a
man lying on the road on CONNER

He gave his name D. J. Stephen

Officer Van Luven paid the hack

absent the driver asked the Chief for
another half-dollar which was
given to him and he departed.

Mills, Internal Revenue Bill
Freely iscusscd.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Because
the statistical information expected
from the Treasury had not arrived,
the Ways and Means Committee did
not resume the consideration of the
if section Of the Mills bill, but took
up instead the internal revenue por-
ton and made some progress toward
conclusion. Mckinley offered an
amendment at the proper place to re-
peal entirely the tobacco tax, but this
was voted down.
Burrows offered a resolution to al
low California members Of Congress
to be heard upon a proposed change
in duties on lumber, but this was also
defeated.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-General
James A. Wilson to-day delivered q
two hours argument before sub
Committee OF the House Commerce
Committee on Deficits in the Inter-
state Commerce law. He began with
statement that the law was not yet
perfect. It is well known, he said,
that persons interested in large ship
ping houses have been secretly ap-
pointed agents of railroads and put
on salaries for the purpose Of securing
freight. The salary amounts to re-
bate, and is fraud and outrage upon
other shippers. Another form of
illegal discrimination is to bill
grain or produce from Chicago to
Liverpool at agreed through rates and
then stop it through its agency Of the
railroad at the port of shipment on
the flimsy pretext, and that the
vessels owner cannot be induced to
perform his part of service for that
portion of the rate which is left after
the discharge fixed by tariff of the
land lines. He said that there were
many other ingenious methods OF
evading the law, and called
attention to what he called the secret
source of disturbance to the
fair and equitable working of the int
erstate law caused by the uncontrolled
competition of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad in transit trade. He showed
how the shipping of this country is
protected in the carriage of domestic
heights, and contrasted with it the
condition of the American roads,
which are unprotected against the
Canadian competition permitted by
an article Of the present treaty with
Great Britain. Three Canadian roads,
the Canada Southern, the Grand
Trunk and the Canadian Pacific are
the principal opponents of the Amer
| ican system. These Canadian roads
| in 1887 transported 5000, 900 tons of
dead weight eastward through part OF
| the United States. The Canadian
roads are cutting into and injuring
the American roads by making
rebates, granting passes, charging
more for short than long hauls, and
entering into all kinds OF arrange
ments with the American contractors
It cannot be doubted that it would be
prudent to shut out these roads from
American trade as we now do the
Canadian business. For section 8 oi
the present law should be substituted
| Z section providing that nothing con-
tanned therein shall authorize any
\ railroad company to receive goods foI
