Amendments of the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Senate to-
day proceeded TO consideration of the Sem
ate bill to amend the interstate commerce
law, SO as TO act upon the two House
amendments on which the conference COM
mittee had been unable to agree.
Mr. Sherman favored concurrence in the
House amendments. One Of them, he said,
gave to the state courts jurisdiction lin
certain cases) of questions arising under the
act He was not prepared to give any
OPINION upon that amendment exec 1t to ex-
press general belief that state courts may
properly be entrusted lin questions of a
local character) with the enforcement of
the national law
THE OTHER PROPOSITION.
As to the other House amendment it sim
ply made it unlawful for any common car
rier to transport any refined oils, ETC., for
any shipper, o1 ming, leasing, or controlling
cars, tank or cylinder, except on condition
that the railroad company shall charge the
same rate (per Car loadl for transportatio
as it charges for oil transported in barrels.
So simple proposition De had supposed
would have been acceded to without ques-
ton.
REAGAN ADVOCATES BOTH.
Mr.. Reagan also advocated both House
amendments, and they were opposed by
The debate soon took the form Of a col
lcquy between Messrs. Cullom, Gray, But
Ter, Dawes, Harris and Hiscock, all the
other gentlemen seeking an explanation
from Mr. Cullom as to the effect of the
various provisions of the bill and of the
amendments proposed.

session for bridge bills; but did not persist

business being done unless tn re was
quorum present. And 80 it was arranged
| that instead of night session. the Senate
would meet at IL O'clock tomorrow morn
ing, and that after routine morning business
one hour would be given to bridge bills,
and that then the interstate commerce bi
would be resumed. An inquiry was made
by MIR, Riddleberger as to where unani-
nous consent for an executive session
would come in under that arrangement,
and was told by the presiding Off 3er that
no such unanimous CO sent had been given.
He as assured, however, by Mr. E lmunds,
| that ii he made that motion about o'clock
tomorrow, he (Mr. Edmunds) would vote
for it.

THE APOLOGY OF THE TIMES.
LONDON, Fe %, A. M.-The Times to-
day, in its leading editorial quotes in full
the apology rendered by Attorney General
Webster before the Parnell commission for
the publication of the forged letters and
continues: I'VE desire to indorse
as appropriate every word of
the foregoing statement. 1t is our wish, as
it is our duty, to do so. Moreover Mr..
Parnell having in the witness box stated
that the letters are forge les, we accepC in
every respect the truth If that statement.
In these circumstances we deem it right to
express our regret, most fully and sincerelg,
at having bean induced to publish the
letters as Mr. Parnelrs, or to use them in
evidence against HIM. This expression
of regret includes also the letters falsely
attributed to Messrs. r AN, Davtt and
O'Kelly. II is scarcely fitting now to eater
into the circumstances under which we re-
ceived and published them. We are bou d,
however, to point out that Pigott was not
the person with whom we communicated,
moreover, must add that we
firmly believed that tho letters
were genuine until the discl Mres made
by Pigott on cross-examination. 1t must be
evident to all reasonable persons that il
Nbh pa aNJ NAlottNl, OLS IGHtco wac NlSbAAAi-
lied by, and not a party TO it. Errors Of
Judgment may have been committed and
for them the penalty must loo paid. 1t must
be clearly understood that what we have
done is altogether upon our own motion
and our own responsibility and in the pub
lie interest alone tbs withdrawal, of
course, refers exclusively to the letters OBJ
tanned from Pigott."
ALEXANDER SULLIvAN's VIEWS.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-In conve sation to-
day with an Associated Press reporter,
Alexander Sullivan, speaking of tho dis
covery of Pigott as the forger OF the Parnell
case, said: II have but little to add to the
version given IN your report this morning.
In the main 1t was correct. The errors are
merely as to details. The package which
Father Dorney carried was not addressed
or delivered to Mr.. Parnell, but to
Mr.. Labouchere. Father Dorneys travel
lag companion was Father Edward j.
Dunno of this city, not Father Herbert
Dunno. The credit for the discovery is due
exclusively to Patrick Egan. No other
man living not member of the Times CON
spiracy could have exposed the crime and
unveiled the criminal And few other men
would have the keenuess, persistence and
ability to do that good work If the material
had been Mt their command"

A Lively Kick From the Fishermen On

A Lively Kick From the Fishermen On
the Sacramento.
The Benicia New Era of last Saturday
contains the following "a delegation of
fishermen from this city went up to Sacra-
mento on Wednesday last TO consult with
our representatives in regard to the fish
laws. The Committee on Fish and Game
have before them large number OF bills
affecting the fishing industry, one of which
is intended TO lengthen the close season.
The fishermen do not object to the extern
sion OF the close season, bat are, on the con-
trary, in favor of such measure, and claim
that as they are interested to the extent
that their daily bread is dependent on their
vocation they should be consulted in re.
gard to the matter. The law as it now
stands makes the close season from Sep
tember lst to October LIST, and the contem-
plated change is from August 10Th 10 Octo-
Der lst, an extension of fifteen days The
fishermen, who, we have no doubt, are
honest in the matter desire that the season
be from September 18th to November 1st

proposed by bill now in the Assembly

A Republican May Succeed Kenna in the
United States Senate.

WASHINGTON, February 14th.-R Reports from
West Virginia indicate that a Republican will
be sent to the Senate TO succeed Eenna. 1t is
pretty certain that Kenna will hold out to the
end as the Democratic caucus nominee, having
got the domination by a two-thirds vote in eau
Gus, and that if he is not elected no Democrat
Will be. When the term of the Legislature ex-
pires there will probably be a vacancy in the
Senate. Golf is almost certain to have the oath
OF office administered to him, and will claim to
be the legally elected Governor OF West Vir-
ginia. The Democratic candidate for Governor
viii probably do the same thing, and the State
will have dual Government. Then, if a va
cancy in the Senate exists after the adjourn
ment OF the Legislature, each Governor will
until an election is had. Two sets of creden-
tails would then be presented to the Senate, and
the Republican would undoubtedly be admitted
TO the seat. But one man is standing inthe way
of Kenna's election now, and he may prove
enough to deprive the party of a seat in the

rHE EpIDEMIc INCREASES.

There is no abatement in the epidemic
of crime in this city. Men aIe nightly
stood up upon the streets and robbed,
houses burglarized and the business streets
made night highways for the tramping of
garroters, loafers, thieves and the hangers
on of cens of infamy. Even in broad day
light woman has been seized and robbed
upon principal street of the city.
The 1ooseness of the administration of
the law, the open consent to its violation in
some directions is invitation to the criminal
classes to come in and make the season
carnival of crime. The Hli-night rum
mills and the gambling dens as agencies

draw the outlaws of society to the city as
certainly as "molasses draws flies" The

A CALIFoRNIA SENSATION.
fpetaluma Courier. ]


Unsupported thatthe sales OF the ''California
Remedy" joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, have
grown within few months till they are now
really sensational. The way the fame of this
production has spread is simply marvellous.
Six months ago it was unknown. To-day it
is all over the country. 1t is authoritatiyely
stated that they have been actually giving it
away in San Francisco to people afflicted with
dyspepsia, sick headaches, indigestion and
liver troubles, mott TO be paid for unless it
cured. such practical tests are so startlingly
convincing as to be almost sensational. 1t is
stated that two OF the active principles OF the
new remedy belong to the vegetable kingdom
OF California and are SO well known to us all
under common names that it would surprise
us If told them. But we are not surprised at
anything Californian, and this recent discov-
cry of the new medicinal virtues of its yegeta-
BILE kingdom is but another instance OF the
astonishing possibilities of a soil and climate
like ours
