PACIFIC ROADS.
The House Committee Begins COnsid era
tiOn of the Senate Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The House
committee on Pacific railroads entered
upon formal consideration of the Senate
bill providing for the settlement of the
Government indebtedness of the Union
and Central Pacific roads. The first five
sections, covering the case of the Union
Pacific Company, were approved with a
few changes, the most important of
which is reducing from per cent to / y
per cent the interest to be paid by the
company upon the bonds falling due
during 1.-The next five years. This is a
partial concession to the wishes of the
company, which desired low rates of in
tefest for the first ten years. Provision
is made, however, for capitalizing the
difference between the l. 4 per cent rate
and full per cent for five years, so that
the effect of the change is to reduce the
amount of payments for the time, but
make the final payments heavy enough
to cover the differences. The committee
also struck out of the fourth section the
clause relating to the Government guar
antee of the bonds.

REMARKABLE BALL-PLAYING.
Oakland Downs stockton in an Inter
esting Contest.

SAN Francisco, April 1O.--There was
a remarkable exhibition of ball at the
Haight-street grounds this afternoon.
The Oaklands defeated the Stocktons by
score of % to 2l, after Stockton had
twice won the game. There were few
brilliant plays, a great many glowing
errors, some hard hitting and poor pitch
inga Unfolding. 1t was anybody's
game up to the last innings. Oakland
stafted up with a rush, and it looked
like sure thing for the men from across
the bay, but Stockton braced up and OBJ
taihed the lead. Then the Stockton
meh played a little worse than their op-
po6ents and allowed Oakland to pass
thSm, and with eight runs in the eighth
innings Oakland won the game. In the
Sigh innings, after nine hits had been
m8de off Cahill, Chase was put in to
pitch for Stockton, and finished the
game. Cobb was batted out of the box,

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.-There was
considerable excitement along the water
front last evening when the new cruiser
Charleston came down from Mare Island
navy yard. She was seen from the
barge Office at Meiggs's wharf by the
inspectors who were waiting for the
China steamer Oceanic, and Deputy
Surveyors of Port Varney, Gaskell, and
several other customs officers put out for
her in small boat, with the revenue
marine flag flying at the stern. Although
the cruiser is not yet open to the public,
the party being in the service of the Gov
ernment, were welcomed on board. The
Charleston came to anchor about
O'Clock, in line with the revenue cutter
Richard Rush and the United
States coast survey steamer Hasler.
She was saluted by all the shipping
and ferryboats in the harbor, and just
as she dropped her anchor the various
church bells in the city tolled out the
Angelus; Oakland steamers sounded
their whistles and went little out OF
their course to get closer view of the
cruiser; men cheered and ladies waved
their handkerchiefs. The Charleston IS
band responded with the "Star Spangled
Banner" Everything on board was as
neat as could be desired. Her main
battery of six guns frowned on the bay,
and two small machine guns were swung
in military masts aloft. At sunset the
colors were lowered to the music OF
Columbia" and the guns and arma-
ment were covered for the night. The
Charleston went to sea this morning
about O'Clock. She will make 81 x
hours run and return this evening.

Oceanic, arriving today from China and
Japan, brings the following news from

Annual returns of trade have been
published, and show an increase of five
million yens.

another robbery on the Forest Hill road
today. On Monday the stage was stood
up by two masked highwaymen, and to-

by lone highwayman about one and a
half miles from Auburn. He passed
over $5, and the robber said he knew
Burke had more. The robber jumped
into the wagon to look for more money,
and Burke jumped on the tongue of the
wagon in doing SO he loosed the brake
and the team started. The robber
ordered him to stop, but he said he

CHICAGO STRIKERS.
The Carpenters Feeling Confident of An
Early victory.


CHICAGO, April 1O.-The carpenters
strike is still on, and the men are conf
dent. The owners of large buildings
nearly completed are growing impatient
and threaten to put the contracts into
new hands. On the strength of this
there was movement among some
of the members of the Master
Carpenters Association, to dis
solve that body and allow its in
dividual members to make what terms
they see fit. Influential members of the
association, however, are opposed to this
action.
One hundred cigar-rollers at the
Columbia factory today joined the
strikers who went out yesterday.
At lengthy meeting tonight, the
Master Carpenters Association de-
cided to continue in their refusal to
recognize the strikers union, but per-
mission was given the members, as in
dividuals, to employ men at such wages
as they choose to pay.

RANDALL SINKING.
The Great Statesman's Death Moment
arily Expected.


WASHINGTON, April 10.-Randall con-
tinues to grow weaker, and the end is in
sight; but no one can tell how much
longer he may be able to continue to
struggle for life. Any hour may witness
his last moments, or his life may be
prolonged several days. He retains
strength enough to move about in bed,
but his life is now hardly more than mere
existence. Opiates are given him to
make him easier. Most of the time
he is only semi-conscious. He has not
for two weeks been without fever. He
takes nourishment well. At 2 O'Clock
there is no change worthy of note in his
condition.
This evening Randall's strength suf-
fered another depletion, and he is
weaker than in the morning. At mid
night, however, he is resting easily.
