the gentleman from Ohio. The charge
on the part of a member of congress
(who frequently did not weigh his
words) of maladministration against an
executive officer, was not sufficient to
authorize the house to order an investi-
cation. 1t must be specific charge,
for which the representative has made
himself responsible. He must state
such facts and circumstances as would
satisfy the house that investigation
ought to be made.
Houk, of Tennessee, offered an amend

During a. colloquy between Cannon

VICTORIA, B. c., July 15.-The state
ment that two Canadian vessels which
recently sailed out of Maple bay were
armed with guns and would resist the
American revenue cutters, is without
foundation. The steam schooner Mis-
chief, belonging at Seattle, was char
tered to take supplies to the sealers and
bring down their catch. Messrs. Hall
q Marvin, who own seven out of thirty
vessels running out of Victoria, say the
reports were sent to prejudice the
foreign Office at London against the
cause of the sealers.
1--WE are neither poachers nor
pirates," they stated. "We clear at
the customs houses and the officials
know our destination. If the bust
ness is illegal they should refuse
to give US proper passes. In case the
question is decided against the sealers
we will quit the business, but to do so
now would be to admit the right of the
United States to the course it has
adopted"
The following vessels are in Esqui-
mault harbor: The second-class cruiser
Champion, 280 men; third-class cruiser
Espiegle, 130 men, and the gunboats
Daphne and Nymph, with complement
of 140 men each.
Captain st. Clair, OF the Champion,
the senior ranking officer in the absence
Of Admiral Potham, was seen, and in
reply to question said: "The
reason of gathering here in such
force is to welcome Admiral
Potham, who succeeds Admiral Heneage
in command OF the fleet. can assure
you, on my honor, thatwe have received
no orders regarding Bering sea. AS
senior officer of the squadron, have
opened every message cabled from Lon
don by the admiralty, most of them re-
lating to the stations of the vessels dur
ing the next year. The Espiegle will
probably 60 to Honolulu, the Champion
to Callao; the Nymph or Daphne may go
to Bering sea, but only for a cruise, as
was done last year."

hundred Mexicans who, armed, masked

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
California Exhibits Wanted at Eastern
State Fairs.

State Fairs.
SAN Francisco, July 15.-At the meet
ing of the state board of trade today,
letters were received from representa-
tives of the state fairs OF West Virginia
and Indiana, proposing that California
products be exhibited at their fairs. A
special committee was appointed to en-
deavor to obtain proper transportation
facilities for the proposed exhibits.
W. H. Mills told of his observations
regarding the worlds fair at Chicago.
He considered that the nation made a
mistake in putting the cost of ten
million-dollar exhibition on one million
people. Chicago is now depending on
the receipts from the fair to reimburse
the subscribers. Dividing the place OF
exhibition at Chicago, he also considered
was mistake. 1t would be good idea,
he thought, to have an exhibition in
San Francisco at the same time, and
hold out inducements for visitors to Chi
cagO to come here

The Squadron of Evolution.
The squadron of evolution, which
sailed from Rio de Janeiro ten days ago,
has not been heard from since at the
navy department, although Admiral
Walker was expected to stop at Per-
nambuco, 1,500 miles from Rio. No
anxiety, however, is felt for the safety
of the squadron.
Did Not Take the Kings Palace.
Rear-Admiral Belknap, commanding
the naval forces on the Asiatic station,
has informed the navy department that
there is no truth in the report that he
took possession of the kings palace at
Seoul during the recent trouble in
Corea, and that all he did on the occa-
sion in question was to station troops in
the United States legation building for
the protection of American subjects and
property. They were subsequently
withdrawn as affairs resumed their
usual state.
The Understandings Case.
The house committee on elections to-
day heard arguments by Judge John
Mcclure, of Arkansas, Clayton's repre-
sentative upon the Breckenridge election
case. Judge Mcclure began his argu-
ment by attacking Breckenridge in reply
to certain statements made by that gem
tleman as exhibited in the record. He
charged that Breckenridge had sought to
incite his partisans to treat him (Mc-
Clure) as they had treated Clayton. He
resented the effort which, he said, had
been made to make the people of Arkan-
sas responsible for the series of crimes,
which, he sought to show, were part of
a general plan carried out by politicians
and ballot-box suffers and stealers with
the deliberate purpose to reverse the
will of the people at the polls.

One Thousand Dollars Raised by the
Ladies Of Emmanuel Church.
The ladies of Emmanuel church held
their jubilee in DR.. Heisler's English
Lutheran church, on Monday night.
There was very large number present,
representing nearly all the lady mem
bership OF the church, and consider
able sprinkling of gentlemen. 1t soon
appeared that the so-called "ladies' ju-
bilee" was to subserve the double pur-
pose of celebrating their pastors (Dr.
w. J. Chichester's birthday and to hand
in their free offerings to the fund they
had pledged themselves to raise
for the furnishing of their new
church edifce. They had pledged them
selves to raise $4,000, to cover the ex-

president of the Ladies' Aid society,
opened the "jubilee" in few happy re-
marks, and Mrs. ]. J. Ayers read gen.
the society from it's organization,
in November, 1888. The report stated
that the ladies had already secured $500
tOWdIoo bliC ouLl, dIlu suggested CIldC
the Young Mems Christian association
might be induced to get upa musicale or
other entertainment for the benefit of
the fund. 1t was also hinted that a
committee of ladies should canvass prop
erty holders in the neighborhood Of the
new church for financial assistance, on
the ground that the edifce would be an
architectural ornament to that part of
the city and render property in the vi
cinity more desirable for residences.
Whilst the baskets were being passed
around to receive the free offerings of
the ladies, Miss Kimball sang a solo,
and Mrs. Minor read some original and
meritorious verses adapted to the occa-
sion. When the offerings were
counted, it was found that .$946 had
been handed in. This sum was raised to
an even thousand by spontaneous con-
tributions from the audience, so that
the ladies have now on hand about
81, 300. The assemblage then adjourned
to the church parlors, where fine col
lation was spread, and social time was
had for the rest OF the evening. A fea-
ture of the "spread" was huge birth
day frosted cake, surrounded by lighted
candles to the number of years the pas
tor had attained. Everybody was wei.
satisfied with the pleasant way in which
the evening had been spent, and with
the very successful outcome of it's finan-
cial feature.
