The Sabba,h Convention.

WASHINGTON, December IA busi-
ress meeting of the National Sabbath Cor
vention was held this morning. 1t was
announced that the Senate Com .nittee on
Labor would give a hearing tomorrow
morning to those interested in the Sab
bath reform movement, and Com
mittee was appointed to represent the
Convention before that Committee.
Officers of the Union were elected as
follows: Colonel Elliott F. Shepard, of
New York, President; Rev. DR.. d. P.
Lord, OF Illinois, Recording Secretary
Rev. j. H. Knowles, of New Jersey,
General Secretary, in charge of the pub.
lication department. A constitution was
adopted declaring that the basis of the
Union was "The divine authority and
universal and perpetual obligation of the
Sabbath" The obligation OF the Union
is declared to be the preservation of the
American Sabbath as day of rest and
worship.
In the afternoon the question OF
changes in the Blair Sunday Rest bill
was discussed. AS finally adopted, the
words "show exhibition" were added to
the list of prohibited Sunday amuse.
ments, and the words "open to the pub.
lie or of public character" were substi.
tuted for the words, "to the disturbance
of Others" the more readily to secure
conviction under the proposed law. Sew.
eral other changes were made in the
bill. In the evening the Commissioner
OF Labor, Carroll D. Wright, spoke upon

the River and Harbor bill, and it was re.
| ferred to the Committee of the Whole.
The Senate amendment to the De-
partment q Agriculture bill were noncon
Cured in.
O'Neall, of Indiana, submitted the re.
port of the Committee on Elections in
the California contested election case oi
Sullivan against FELTON,. The report,
which finds in favor of Sullivan, together
with the view of the minority confirming
Felton's title to the seat, were placed on
the calendar. The House then went
into Committee of the Whole on the Di.
rect Tax bill.
A long debate ensued, during which
many amendments were offered and re-
jected.
Elliot, of South Carolina, offered an
amendment making it the duty of the
Secretary Of the Treasury to pay such
person as ehall apply therefor and fur
nish satisfactory evidence that such ap.
plicant was at the time of sale men
toned, the legal owner, or is the heir-at-
law or devisee of the legal owner of suclI
lands as were sold in certain parishes in
South Carolina under acts of Congress,
the value of said lands in a manner
which is set forth in the amendment at
length. In all cases where persons while
serving in the army or navy or marine
corps purchased any of said lands, and
the lands afterwards reverted to the
United States, it shall be the duty of the
Secretary Of the Treasury to pay to such
persons as shall in each case apply
therefor or to their heirs-at-law, devisees
or grantees, in good faith, the purchase
value in consideration of whatever sum
was so paid to the United States in such
case. In order to carry out the pro.
visions of the amendment, $3.50, 600 is
appropriated. The amendment was
adopted.
Oates, of Alabama, offered an amend
ment providing for refunding the cotton
tax. Rejected.
The question then come up on the
proposed by the Judiciary
Committee, striking out the provision in
the Senate bill declaring that no part OF
the money appropriated by the bill
should be paid to any attorney or agent
under any contract for services now ex-
sting or heretofore made between a rep
of any State and any attorney
Or agent. The amendment was dis |
agreed to.

last year there has been a material in
crease in vessels in the ccastwise trade.
There is little reason to hope, he says,
for any considerable increase in foreig;
going tonnage, while the laws remain as
at present. Vessels built in the United
States last year amount to 21S, COG tons,
this amount representing 1887 tons
more than the tonnage constructed the
previous year. Thirty-eight per cent. of
the tonnage was built on the Atlantic
sea- board, 10 per cent. on the Pacific
coast, 46 per cent. on the Northern Lakes,
six per cent on the western rivers. The
iron and steel vessels built amounted to
36,719 tons. AS to the establishment of

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA presents a most
attractive appearance at the present
time. Her aspect must be very delight
full to the newcomers who have but
recently arrived from the blizzards of the
East and the snow-drifts of the West.
Wherever the natural grasses have been
allowed to exist, as on the Coyotes and
Alamitos ranches, they are now Elk
inches high. The sheep and cattle that
roam over these great plains literally
revel in the lush grasses that look like
Eastern meadows and pasture lands in
May or June. Where cultivation has
taken the place of simple nature, and
alfalfa has replaced the natural grasses,
this fodder is now in bloom and being
cut for the seventh or eight time this
season. At Downey, near Norwalk, all
about Anaheim and in the Santa Ana
Valley one may see many farmers cut
ting their hay. Where there are not
meadows, but where the land is used for
barley or other grain, the farmers are now
busy plowing and seeding. There is a
vast area being seeded this year,
and the harvest of next summer
will be one of great results.
In other places the pruners are busy
trimming the vines, and many vineyards
which have been neglected for the past
ten years, are being trimmed this sea-
son. In all lines there is renewed in
terest in the produce of the ground,
which is good earnest of prosperity in
the near future. Then the oranges are
just beginning to be ripe. In some
cases the most highly colored specimens 8
are being shipped to the cities for
the holiday market. No other
part of. the American Union
can boast such interesting scenes
as these. Ours is land where winter is
unknown. Like perpetual spring are
these December days, and all the occu-
pations Of the farmer are those of spring
rather than winter days.

THE position Of the Democratic in Con.

consistent on the matter of admitting the
Territories to Statehood. The only
opposition expressed to such admission
has been to the programme of cutting the
Territory of Dakota into two States.
There is no good reason for any change
in this attitude, Dakota should
be freely admitted as one State, but
should be refused admission as two.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 12.-Anent
the resignation of United States District
Attorney Emery B. Sellers, which was
not publicly known here until this
morning, there is considerable political
gossip touching the causes for the sud-
denness and secrecy observed by Sellers
in the matter. The chief reason is
attributed to Sellers dissatisfaction with
the case made before the Federal grand
jury against Colonel Dudley. It is said
he was averse to entering upon
the prosecution of case of such import.
ance, with what seemed to him an insus-
ficiency of evidence. In this connection
It Is also asserted that certain prominent
Democrats who publicly claimed to DOS.
sess specific and damaging evidence
touching the alleged Dudley letter, have
either failed or refused to produce
said evidence. 1t is even stated
that Sellers does not know and cannot as
certain the name of the Republican
County Chairman from whom the Demo-
Gratis claimed in the public prints they
had obtained the now famous "blocks Of
five" letter. As this information is of
vital importance to successful prosecu-
lion of the case, Sellers friends privately
declare he resigned with q view Of wash

fled that there was an understanding be-

count for Mayor, and that election
officers of both political complex

gain thus far in the count is 239 votes.
About II 900 votes thus far have been
counted. O'Donnell holds no hope of be.

THAT is good proposition to create as
permanent thing the Office of Lieuten-
ant. General of the Army. As it is now,
the senior Major-General can hardly be
said to outrank the other officers of the
same grade. and yet he is in reality a
grade at least over them all. Give
the actual head of the Army distinct
grade, with proper enhancement of
salary BETTING his position, and it will
be better for all concerned.
