Tie expedition Of the Philadelphia Academy
OF Natural Sciences has succeeded in exploding
prevailing Ideas In regard 10 the height of Mexi-
can volcanoes. Professors Heilprin and Baker
have just returned from an ascent of JapocaIe-
peu, which they found 70 be nearly 5000
feet lower than the measurements OF Humboldt.
The height, making allowances for minor bar
ometric corrections, is 14,700 feet above sea
level or approximately 5000 feet less than the
commonly accepted measurements. The peak Is,
therefore, 800 feet lower than that OF Orizaba,

The Conduct OF Canteens-RepaIrs on the
Iroquofs.
The Secretary of the Navy is instituting
inquiry into the conduct of canteens at the
various barracks, the petitioners, whose iu-
fluence has been directed against like insti-
tutions at army posts, having turned theI
attention to navy canteens. They assert
that the operators of canteens are too pros
porous, and direct the argument particularly
against the canteens at the New York and
Mare Island navy-yards. They have pre-
pared list of the canteeDs and go into de-
tails regarding the operators. The case Of
Sergeant McGuinness, who ran the canteen
at Mare Island, Is cited as supporting the
argument, alleging that after fifteen years
service In the Marine Corps and as the can
teen operator, he resigned and started a
bank, his share of the capital being $3.50, 900.
A circular has been issued from the Navy
department that naval cadets of the Engi-
neer Division who have completed the four
years course at the academy shall wear the
same uniform as prescribed for naval ca
diets, except that instead Of the gold foul
anchor in the center Of the pad of the shoul-
der knot and on the collar of the service
coat, the device of the Engineer Corps, en-
brOidered in gold. shall be worn, and the
lace on the sleeve wound with red, instead
of with black silk.
A Board of Survey has been ordered on
the 1roquoiS, at Mare Island, to determine
the amount necessary to put her in cOndi-
tlon. The work on her will be pushed, as
the Navy Department is anxious to have
the Adams return to the United States, the

General Cord on Held to Answer.

Justice Williamson this morning held
General Ii. L. Gordon to answer before the
Superior Court on charge of assault to
commit murder, with bail Fixed at S5000
In holding the defendant the Justice said:
st seems to me that this atfray was the
outgrowth of longstanding and unfortunate
circumstances. and that the injured party
was to blame for the occurrence. Had the
difficulty stopped when the combatantS
were separated, l should have had no hesi-
fancy in dismiSsing Gordon, but it appears
as very evident to me that in running down
the street after Potter, shooting second
time and swapping his pistol the defendant
had time TO reflect and consider that ne was
in no danger from an unarmed and fleeing
man. l therefore hold the defendant to
answer, under the same bond"
Mr.. Tompkins drew a new bond which
was filed later with w. ID. Tisdale and w.
i. DOugherty as suretieS in the sum Of
S2500 each. with double qualification. This
ended the preliminary examination of Cor
don for shooting Charles Potter on Santa

Efforts Of The California Delegation to
Secure The Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, April 20-PresIdent Harrison.
having given evidences Of disapproval OF the ap-
propriatlon for the San Jose public building, the
California delegation has been eXerting every In
huence to prevent veto. Messrs. Morrow and
Mckenna accompanied Congressman Cluuie TO
see the President who seemed to be doubtful OF
the propriety of approprlating 5000, 600 where
the Office rent was only $1,000 per anuum. Mr.
Cnne showed him telegram from Morris
OBtien, proprietor OF the POStotce building
saying that as the present quarters were inc0pl-
modious, the citizens were raising an amount by
private subscription to make up the differences
between $1,000 and $4,000 per annum which
last amount was needed to insure oOmmOdious
quarters. The delegation explained that The
San Jose Postoffice receipts were $4,000, and
had been steadily and rapidly increasing each
year.
Mr.. Clunie teegraphed Senator Stanford and
ID. y. Mills to use their influence. Both an
swered that they would exert every influence.
II Is believed that by this kind OF hard work tbe
PRESIDENT can be induced TO sign the bill. Mr.
Clunie has telegraphed 10 the Mayor OF San Jos Q

of this terrible disease by remedies within the

adopted by DR.. Sanford in the preparation OF his

DIR. Easton Says That IngersoII Is Mis-
taken-The Agnostics.
Rev. Easton, d. D., delivered lecture
last evening at Calvary Church on tho
Unity of Man." He thought that the
arguments advanced by science, and voiced
by Ingersoll, Professor Draper and others,
i. e., that there are ten centers of creation,
were entirely wrong. We all admit that
there is unity in the animal kingdom, and
why not SO in man? All revelation proves
that We are all of one famly-all of God.
Science, TO prove this theory, must first dis
prove all biblical truth. The agnostc
whose creed is Il don't know counts for
nothing. The unity of man teaches great
lesson. 1t teaches US that all men are
brothers, having u common origin. When
we hear of Siberian horrors we are moved
to pity. Why? Because we are united to
these people by a common bond of sympa-
thy; and let Inc say that Russia is doomed
