Bill Passed.

Bill Passed
WASHINGTON, March 22.--The Senate
this morning took up the calendar. The
first bill reached wsssaps appropriating
$300,0J0 for public building at San Diego,
Cal Messrs Sherman and Ingalls, sug.
gested that that was large amount for a
public building in San Diego, and they were
inclined to think the amount was extrava.
CANT and not justified
A dozen senator's championed the bill for
the reasons, among others, that it was
intended to accommodate the postoffice,
custom house, land Office and internal
revenue; that San Diego is a city of 40, 900
inhabitants and rapidly growing and it il
within fifteen miles of the Mexican frontier
and may become the base of important mill
tary operations.
Tee California Senators said they had
not asked for an extravagant amount under
the supposition that it might be scaled down.
They had asked for the exact amount they
wanted and expected to get every dollar
they asked for.
They found friends for their cause in
Messrs. Spooner, Platt, Wilson of Iowa,
Morgan, Dolph, Mitchell aud Dawes.
The bill was passed.

Herbert Spencer can hardly be accused Of
being subject to the decisions and super

intellect. 1t is Herbert Spencer who
says It Mike the ordinary consciousness
the religious consciousness IS concerned
with what lies beyond the sphere Of
sense. A brute thinks only of the things
which can be touched seen, heard. tasted.

seriousness of God who lies beyond the
sphere of sense. that our faith in God is
founded-s faith which in one form or
another has characterized the greatest,
the profoundest, the most luminous
