FULLER'S FRIENDS.
Senator Bdmunds' Course Said TO Have
Hurt His Party In Illinois.

IlLIL J1lB EdTby III llllIlOlb.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Senators Cullom
and Farwell are both back from Chicago.
Both deny emphatically the reports that
they have abandoned the cause of Melville
w. Fuller Both express qualification at
the fact that the judiciary committee has
at last reported his nomination to the sem
ate, although both think that the committee
ought TO have reported in favor Of its con-
hrmation. They pronounce the so-called
charges against Judge Fuller rs fimsy fab
rications and say that they are so regard ed
IN Chicago. They both speak of the high
esteem in which Judge Fuller is held in
Chicago and of the impatience With which
citizens Of both parties view the unneces-
sary delay in the consideration of the case
BAD FOR THE PARTY.
They admit, privately, that the course
pursued by Senator Edmunds and his re-
publican colleagues on the judiciary com
mittee has hurt the republican party in
Chicago. They express the hope that there
may be no more delay in tho matter, but
that the nomination being now before the
senate, may be promptly taken up and CON
firmed. They will, undoubtedly, do what
they can to have this action taken next
week. There is possibility OF some sharp
talk over the dealings of the Judiciary COM
mittee with the nomination, when il Ia
brought up In executive session. There are
other republicans in the senate who agree
with the Illinois senator's, that Senator
Edmunds has made a serious mistake in
this matter.

The Senate's Quarantine Bill Favor
ably Reported to the House


ably Reported to the House.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Representative
Crisp, from the committee on commerce,
to-day reported favorably to the house the
senate bill intended to perfect the quaran-
tine service Of tho United States. The bill
provides punishment for any person tres
passing upon any grounds belonging to any
quarantine reservation and upon any
master, pilot, or owner of vessel entering
any port of the United States in violation
of the law aiming to prevent the introduce
ton of contagious or infectious diseases into
the United States.
THE PROPOSED STATIONS.
The bill also establishes quarantine sta
tions as follows: At the mouth of Della
ware bay, near Cape Charles; at the en-
trance Of Chesapeake bay; on the Georgia
coast; at Key West; in San Diego harbor;
in San Francisco harbor, and at or near
Port Townsend. Puget sound 1t appro-
PIRATES s542, 900 for the construction and
maintenance OF tine above-named stations.
An appropriation of Sl5 900 is made for the
maintenance of the gulf quarantine sta
ton formerly Ship island, for the fiscal
year 1889.
ELEVENTH HOUR WORK.
The committee in its report says IL can-
not too earnestly urge upon congress the
necessity Of making ample provision for
this important service. Heretofore it has
been the custom to wait until All epidemic
had become fragrant and then to make an
appropriation in spasmodic haste TO be ex-
pended by the President in preventing its
spread at an enormous cost, when judicous
and timely expenditure Of a small sum
would have prevented the original intro
duction.
NEEDED AT ONCE.
1t matters not, the report says what shall
be the future policy OF congress in reference
10 the management OF the quarantine SER
vice The real question now is: Shall we
establish and maintain the facilities needed
in this servicei The committee Is Of tho
opinion that the stations herein provided
for are Of vital and pressing Importance. Il,
therefore. recommends che passage Of tho
bill.

San Francisco, February THE
Chamber OF Commerce recently ap-
pointed committee to con ider the
subject OF the tariff as affecting the
sugar interests on the Pacific coast
The committee has prepared two re-
ports which will be submitted to the
chamber OF commerce tomorrow.
The majority report advocates that the
present tariff be maintained and has a
strong protection plank in the resolu
tions which will be presented. The
minority report proposes that the
duty on raw sugar be partially
or entirely taken off and com
pensating bounty be paid for domestic
sugar claiming that this will afford
protection to producers in California
aud elsewhere in the United States.
Raw sugar declined in price to-day to
So cents a pound, and the cause. of
the reduction is said to be that sur

will probably be sent to New York in

A prominent sugar dealer said to-
day "Tne Hawaiian cropis estimated
to he at least 125 900 tons, while the
importatons from other sources will
amount to IS, 1000 tons, making the
total 100 900 tons. The consumpt on
of the Whole Pacific coast is but TO-
900 tons, while 25 600 tons OF refined
sugars are shipped annually to points
as far east as the Missouri river. This
leaves surplus OF so ,000 tons for the
year, all of which no doubt will be
shipped around the Horn to New

MORROW,s TRIAL.
NOrthey Refuses TO Furnish Amy
Evidence.

SANTA Rosa, February 1.-When
the Morrow trial was resumed this
morning, Judge Rutledge made an
order placing the defendant in the
custody of the Sheriff. The remainder
Of the morning session was occupied
in statements of the case by counsel
on both sides.
During the afternoon q number of
witnesses were examined, but the tes-
timony adduced did not differ materi-
ally from that of the former trial.
Somewhat of scene was caused
when Northey refused to be sworn.
He based his refusal on the ground
that he had been tried and convicted
of the offense.
The court held the ground INSULT
cient, and gave Northey into the GUS
tody OF the Sheriff. Considerable
comment and criticism has been
caused from the fact that the jury,
after being empanelled last night, was
not given in charge OF the Sheriff.

Clifford Urges the Claims Of

WASHINGTON, February 1.-Dele-

mitting North and South Dakota as
separate States. Clifford read state
ments rendering to substantiate the
fact that the proposed States possess in
an eminent degree the conditions
requisite to entitle them to admission
to the United States. All persons
will agree, he said, that the treat
ment received by the Territory from
the hands of Congress regarding this
matter of statehood is without
parellel in the country's history, in
it's neglect and injustice. He held
that an excellent reason for the divis-

was that the functions Of Government

RAILROAD TELEGRAPHING..
Huntington and Green Speak
About the Anderson Bill.

New York, February 1.-THE law
allowed the Pacific railroad companies
to make contracts with the telegraph
companies, and of course they did it.
That is all l know about it," was the
answer G. P. Huntington gave to-day,
when the Anderson bill was brought
to his attention.
DR.. Norvin Green, president OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company
said: The bill affects us very little
because we have our own wires.
The Anderson bill under
takes to pass upon the judicial
question whether the railroads
had the right to make a contract with
the Telegraph Companies. The
Court has already decided that they
had such right. The question is a
mstter of much more importance to
the railroad companies than to us. We
have our lines there and the only
damage it would do us would be to
put us to the expense Of a few more
offices on the line of the route, but as
we should get all the receipts instead
of giving the railroad one half, as now
our increased expense would be more
than met by the increased revenue"

THE WELLINGTON DISASTER.
Plausible Theory as to How -
Originated.

VICTORIA, B. c., February 1.-The
theory about the cause OF the Yelling
ton explosion is that it was prima-
rily caused by blown out shot in
Robinson's place, the last white man
taken out. There is every evidence
that this is correct, for his powder-can
lies in line with the shot exploded and
that of his next neighbor also while
a dozen others have been found with
powder along the line travelled by the
explosion. The tlmbers are also
blown from this quarter. The jury
is at present inquiring into the matter
and the miners hold mass meeting
Tonight. No coal has been mined
since the accident occurred, and the
loss to the colliery owners will be
serious.
