The uonse.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-In the
House the bill appropriating $150, 900
for the Governments participation in
the centennial celebration Of the Ohio
Valley, passed
After passing several bills OF minor
impoftance, the House went into
coufhittec Of the whole on the tariff
bill.
Morrow, of California, concluded
his speech in opposition to the bill,
addressing himself more especially to
the free lumber clause Of the meas
ure. He states that the lab0 engaged
in the manufacture of lumber on the
Pacific Coast was exclusively we'll
paid American labor. The placing OF
lumber on the free list would ruin this
manufacture by bringing it into COM
petition with the manufacture of Brit
iBh Columbia, where labor was per-
formed by Cinnamon. He also de-
clared that the raisin industry Of Cal
ifornia would be destroyed if the duty
on raisins was reduced as proposed by
the bill, one-half cent per pound.
Passing to consideration Of the borax
interests, he referred to the rapid
growth Of the industry since the tariff
had been placed on borax in 1888.
The domestic product had increased
from $50, 900 pounds in 1888 to TO-
100000 pounds in 1887, while the
price, owing to home competition
had declined from 25 cents pound to
61a cents per pound. The pending bill
proposed to place borax on the free
list and the effect of this proposition
was that the great firm OF William T.
Coleman & Co., had been compelled
to suspend.
Hooker, OF Mississippi spoke in fav.
or of the bill, while Houk, of Tennes-
see, followed with a speech against it.
Wise, OF Virginia, also favored it, and
Kennedy, of Ohio, denounced the
Democratic party as one OF free trade
Boutelle, of Maine, then quoted
authorities in support of his declara
ton that Garfield was not member
of the Golden Club. In the same
connection he read letter from Mura
Halstead, in which that gentleman
explained how he became member
Bynum, of Indiana, cited authori
ties to show that Garfield had beer
elected member OF the Golden Clut
and had accepted membership. TIL,
committee then rose and the House
adjourned.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-The as
signees of VIM. T. Coleman & Co.
have placed their own representative
in charge OF the establishment, and
marked number OF employees for
dismissal. Only those clerks will be
retained who have charge of the
books and are necessary in making an
inventory Of the assets and Liabilities.
This labor will be concluded in about
two weeks. Three assignments were
fled in the Office Of the County Re-
rcorder to-day, the assigning companies
being the Meridian Borax Company,
Harmony Borax Company, and the
California Chemical Company, and
the assignee being A. L. Tubbs. The
property Of the companies consists Of
borate land in Inyo. and San Bernar-
nardino counties, and the assignment
is an offshoot of that made by Cole
man 4 Co. Monday.
Mr.. Coleman stated as to the rea-
son of these later assignments, that
the total amount Of borate lands
owned by the firm consists Of ten
thousand acres, the larger part in
Inyo county, but some in San Ber
nardino county. For the better man
agement Of these lands four cornpa-
MES were organized, to which the
lands were decided, the companies
being the Harmony, Meridian, Henry
Clay and Desert Borate Companies.
In addition toibese there is situated
in Alameda county manufacturing
establishment known as the Calfor-
MIA Chemical Works, where the
products of these borate fields
are worked up. These prop
critics also embrace other pos
sessions, all of which are assets
of William T. Coleman. These COM
panies, in doing business involving
large sums of money, have drawn
drafts on the firm of Vim. T. Cole.
man & Co., which have been accepted
and sold in the East. Very little in
dehtedness has been contracted by
the companies, save these accounts
and drafts, some Of which are now
about at maturity, and therefore, to
prevent complications and waste, the
companies have assigned.
my legal adviser considers that it
would be better to have different
assignee in these cases from those
acting for the firm. A. L. Tubbs has
accepted the assigneeship OF the prop
critics. They are part of the assets of
the house, and would have gone in
the assignment to Sloss & Baker, but
for the desire to avoid any conflict Of
rights and interests between the COM
panies and the other interests in

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-Ex- Gov

q Co., made an examination of the
Queen Of the Pacific this morning,
and after closely questioning the Off
GERS and crew, decided that the ves-
sci had been sunk solely by the water
which passed through the ten-inch
headlight. Governor Perkins said
the company was satisfied the dead
light was opened by some maliciously
disposed person, not with the inten-
ton Of sinking the ship, but to cause
trouble for Captain Alexander, owing
to difficulty which the Captain had
with the sailors some time ago.

JULIA ExPLosIoN--NEw THEORY.
SAN Francisco, May "a state.
ment is published here to the effect
that the official report of Inspector
Lubbock upon the recent boiler ex-
plosion on the steamer Julia, will
show that the explosion was NOT
caused by the boilers being burned
away by the use of petroleum, as has
been commonly supposed, but that
the starboard boiler contained crack
eight inches long, six inches of which
was to the depth of 3-16 Of an inch,
AS the iron boiler was but 5.16 Of an
inch in thickness, there was only 4
of an inch to withstand pressure Of
ITO pounds to the square inch. The
crack was on the inside of the boiler,
and near the top manhole, extending
along a double row Of rivets. The
theory Of machinists is that the
Skin" of the iron was broken in
calking the seam, and that the recent
hydrostatic test of pressure, applied
by the inspectors, together with the
successive expansion and contraction
Of the steam. had steadily deepened
the crack until it became too weak tc
further withstand the force exercised
upon it. An examination of the de.
feet showed that it was of long stand
ing, the crack being filed with sedi.
ment from the water. Boilermakers
and foundrymen were unanimous in
declaring the explosion must be attrib
uted to this crack, and it is said THU
fact will be fully established by (
transcript OF testimony to be for
warded to the authorities at Wash
ington.

IsrERsrArE COMMERCE LAW.

l INTERSTATE CObihiEhSft bAWs
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Senate
Committee ON Interstate Commerce
to-day ordered a favorable report
upon the amendment to the Sixteenth
Section OF the Interstate Commerce
Law, which section now provides for
summary proceedings by mandatory
or other process by the United States
Circuit courts sitting in equity, to en-
force any lawful order or require
ment OF the Commission. The
amendment continues the provisions
Of the section as they now stand to any
order or requirement of the Com
mission, not founded on controversy
requiring trial by jury, but as to mat
tets which, under the Constitution,
require trial by jury, it is proposed
that the Commission, or any person
interested, may apply in a Summary
way TO Circuit Courts sitting as courts
OF law. The amendment makes pro-
vision for speedy trial OF such cases
and provides on a hearing that the
findings OF the fact by the Commits
sion shall be prima facia evidence. 1t
also provides that the Court, by its
order, may fix the time for trial not
less than twenty nor more than forty
days from the date OF the order.
CHANGE IN SIGNAL SERVICE.
In view of the necessity of furnish
ing hight indications to the press of
the country at an earlier hour than at
present practicable, and in order to
facilitate the intention of the Chief
Signal Officer to place more promptly,
satisfactorily and clearly before the
general public, chart of the observa-
tions of the Signal Corps, it has been
decided to substitute telegraphic OBJ
servations at A. NJ. and P. NJ, stand
ard Eastern time, for the three obser-
vations now telegraphed. The third
telegraphic observation will be re-
placed by special observations sent to
this office, which will keep the Indica-
tions Officer fully advised as to
the edge of advancing cold waves,
local storms or other marked
phenomena. In addi- ]
ton, there will be mailed from the
large commercial centers to surround
ing points each day, charts which
will enable those interested, as
well as the general public, to note for
the advance of storms. |
BY this means, local meteorologists
will frequently be able to decide for
themselves more satisfactorily than
can be done by the present general
from the main Office as to
the character of weather which may
be expected in their own territory.
ADDITIONAL PENSION MONEY.
The Committee on Appropriations
to-day resolved to report bill appro
priating $3,500,000 to meet the def
in the appropriation for the
Of army pensions during the
remainder of the present fiscal year.
The appropriation is proposed to-
be made as an original item,
the committee declining to ac-
cept the recommendation of the
Commissioner OF Pensions that suf-
ficient sum to supply the deficit be
transferred to the credit OF the appro-
priation for army pensions from the
appropriation for Mexican war pen
sions, where he says it is not needed.
Postmaster-General Dickinson to-
day issued an order fixing $42.75 per
mile, per anuum, as the minimum
compensation to be allowed for the
transportation of mails on railroads,
