Republican Senators Practically Agree Upon
New Rule.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-At the confer
ence of Republican Senators tonight
twenty-nine members were present to con-
slider the rule to be reported by the COM
mittee to limit debate. The rule was dis
cussed thoroughly Tor two hours and half
and the report agreed upon unanimously
prevailed. The strictest secrecy is observed,
however, respecting the terms Of the rule
and various versions are current. The one
most largely accepted is that, after pFop0-
sition has been debated for three or four
days, it shall be in order for
any Senator to move that debate thereon
be limited under the rule. That motion
shall be put without debate, and if adopted
the debate shall cease at the end Of six DAYS
thereafter. 1t is understood that almost
every one present was in favor of the adop-
tion of method of limiting debate.
Chairman Patt says the rule has been re-
committed to the committee, Another Sen
ator says the rule has been, and is practi-
caly, adopted. It's recommiltal is due to a
disposition on the part Of the majority 20

the necessity shall arise for its use. The
intention Of the Republican Senators, hs
said, to consider the Election Bill is settled,
and if necessary the new rule will be aP-
piled to the Tariff Bill in order to reach L.

1t is estimated that to complete the project
of removing snags and securing channel
10 feet wide by 4 feet deep it will require
the excavation of $4,000 cubic yards of
gravel, which will cost $20,100 AS this
amount can be proftably expended during

recommended.
OAKLAND HARBoR.
For improving Oakland Harbor-During
the last year the contracts for furnishing
and laying stones on the jetties, dredging
the tidal basin and dredging the channel
between the Jettles were completed. Work
Is still progressing on the contracts for ex-
cavatng a tidal canal and dredging the
channel in front OF the city of Oakland.
The present condition Of the work is re-
ported as follows: The north jetty is 9203
feet long, and it is not expected to extend it
any further. The south jetty is 1865 feet
long and will not be extended any further.
There is a channel of IA feet at low water
between Oakland and the Bay of San
Francisco. The width of the channel in
front of the city varies from 100 to 225 feet,
and dredging is now widening it all to 225
feet. The work already done on the tidal
canal is less than One-sixth OF the whole
amount. The objects to which the next
appropriation ought to be applied are the
completion of the north jetty by finishing
the rough portion; the further widening
OF the channel In front of Oakland. the
conclusion of the dredging in the basin;
the continuation OF the canal, and the
construction of a bridge over the canal at
Park street, Alameda. The total amount
OF appropriation for this work is 81, ,2S4, 900,
OF which $751;, ,439 81 was expended during
the last year and S979, ,247 SIS since the COM
mencement OF the work. On July 1st there
was an available balance of $40, 1874 Y on
hand. 1t is estimated that Sl,24l. 600 will
be required for the completion Of the work,
and thatS500, 600 can be pr, fitably expended
during the next fiscal year. An appropria-
ton Of the latter sum is recommended.
SAN FRANCISCO BAY.
OF the survey of San Francisco Harbor,
San Pablo and Suisun bays, the Straits of
Carquinez and the mouths Of the San Joa-
Quin and Sacramento rivers, the report
says: The only operations carried on dur
ing the year were in the preparation of
maps suitable for the designation of harbOr
lines. The lines of San Francisco Harbor
and Mission Rock front were laid down and
subsequently approved by the War Depart
ment. A copy was furnished to the Board
OF State Hdrbor Commissioners. Maps of
the fronts of Port Costa, Benica and
Vallejo are nearly completed. The lines to
be recommended are determined upon and
only await the completion of the maps.
The survey made in 1SS7-S8 covered 110h
square miles of the bay, taking in the city
fronts of San Francisco, Oakland and por-
tions lying both north and south. To COM
plete the entrance Chart out to the ten
fathom buoy 100 square miles will need to
be surveyed, the estimated cost of which,
including maps, is $4,000. The balance of
funds available on July 1st was SIPS 80.
1t is recommended that $500 be appro-
priated for the next fiscal year.

Several Amendments to the Sundry Civil Bill
Agreed To.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-1n the Senate to-
day the House bill for the disposition of
the abandoned military reservation at Fort
on the calendar.

many amendments agreed TO, among them
being the following: For completing the
lighthouse on the northwest seal rock,
off Point st. George. Cal, SS7,000; for
new steam tender for service in the first
light house district, S95,000: tender for the

there.
The amendment to insert an item for
S500,OO0 for establishing in Washington q
Latin-Amerlcan memorial library, site to
be selected by the Secretary Of State and
the building TO be erected under his direc-
tion and supervision, having been reached,
plan to secure commerce with tile South
American States. 1t was nonsense to ex-
pect that glamour could be thrown over the
subject in the way of sentiment that would
bring such trade. Besides there was now
being erected a magnificent library building
at a cost of S6,000,000. and certain rooms in
that building might be dedicated to the pur-
pose indicated in the amendment.
Hawley concurred with everything Vest
said. 1t would be better to take a section
of the branch of the Congressional Library
and entitle it the Latin-American Memorial
Library. He offered an amendment to that
effect and appropriating $4,000 for the
purpose.
The amendment went over without action.
Spooner moved to increase the limit of
the cost of the public building at Milwaukee
by 100000. Agreed to.
Senate bill to further suspend for ten
years the statute in relation to the guano
islands was taken from the calendar and
passed; also Senate bill to provide for the
disposal of the Pagosa Springs military
