The Charleston at Acapulco.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-After a weeks
waiting, some tangible news was to-day
received at the navy department from
the Charleston. First came a dispatch
from Acapulco, stating that the CHILEAN
insu-gent cruiser Esmeralda had put out
of the Acapulco harbor yesterday and
had returned to 'port to-day Later
on, through the state department, a dis
patch came saying the Charleston had
arrived at Acapulco; that the Esmeralda
was still in port, but giving no news of
the Itata. What the next step is to be,
no one of the department knows or feels
free to tell. The Charleston is to take
on coal, as her supply has probably
nearly run out during the weeks chase.
Whether the Esmeralda is to have;ee the
privilege of taking coal aboard cannot be
learned here. as it is a matter entirely
within the control of the Mexican gov
eminent, but the presumption at the de-
partment is against it, as the neutrality
laws would be strained by the Mexican
government if it allowed anything
beyond water and food supplies
to be furnished the belligerents. The
theory at the navy department is that
the Charleston, whose commander Cap
tain Remey, has orders admitting large
discretionary movements, will now lie at
or near Acapulco, for a time, trusting
that the Itata, which is a slow seven
knot ship, has not yet passed down the
coast, and will try to coal in that neigh
borhood. If she is sighted, the Charles
ton will doubtless try to seize her.
She cannot do this in Mexican waters, so
that it would be necessary to head her
OFT outside OF the three mile line, or if
unsuccessful in that to follow her to
sea when she goes out. What the Eemer-
aida Will DO, meantime, is problematical.
The general impression is that the Off
GERS OF the vessel will rely more Upon
strategy than force to obtain the supplies
carried by the ltata and some of the Off
GERS believe she Is trying to lure the
Charleston away from the Itata's real
course. Recourse to force to prevent
the Charleston from capturing the Itata,
however, would, it is said, be the death
blow of the lnsurgent cause in Chill, as
the entire naval force of the United
States in the Pacific would, if necessary,
be promptly called into play to destroy
the insurgent navy. A cablegram re-
ceived at the department. from Admiral
MCCAIN, this afternoon, announced that
the Baltimore and San Francisco we're
both at Iquique, Chill, to-day. So it ap-
pears that the Baltimore has come north
and the San Francisco has been stayed
in her southern course, just at the point
where the Chilian insurgent navy is now
nearly all together assembled. This
point is almost in the extreme north of
Chill, and where the Itata would natur-
ally find her destination if she eludei
the Charleston.

THE CHARLESTON PUTS TO SEA.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-Just before 4
o'clock this afternoon the navy depart
ment received a confirmation of the pres
ident's dispatch that the Charleston
sailed southwark from Acapulco last
evening, leaving the Esmeralda in port.
There was no word of the Itata. The
presumption is that the Charleston COM
mander was satisfied that the Itata had
passed Acapulco either before his ar
rival there or while he lay in port and that
he has resumed the long chase.

Congress convened on December /, 1890,
and upon the arrival Of January !, 1891,
II ls quite proper 10 say thatno December
In the American Congress for the last
half century had been more barren Of
actual legislative results.
THE ADVOCATE herewith presents a
bare outline review Of Congressional
proceedings for portion OF the period OF
time chat embraces one-third Of thls short
session of Congress, which ends the con-
troll Of the republican party In both
branches Of the National Congress.
December 1.-Vice President Morton
took the chair aS presiding officer OF the
United States Senate, and thus our senior
Senator from Kansas, John J. ingalls,,
has not been an indispensable factor as
presiding officer Of the Senate. On De-
csmber 20, having obtained leave Of alb
bence two weeks, he has Scarcely presided
over the body during the month Of De-
Cember, 1890.
The new state Of Wyoming was pre-
gonted as the forty-third one Of the
American union by the admission OF
Francis r. Warren and Joseph M. Carey
as its first United States Senators, and
Clarence d. Clark was admitted as It's
first Representative In Congress.
Idaho's Representative, Willis Sweet,
was admitted into the House as the lrst
Representative from the forty-fOurth
state. On December 20 Idaho presented
the novelty Of credentials for three United
States Senators, ere any Senator had been
seated from this state, and they were for
William j. Mcconnell and George Il.
shoup, and for the fBrther one OF Fred
erlck T. Dubois, which, by the certificate
from the Idaho Legislature, was elected
for a term Of six years from March a,
1891. The credentials OF all these gem
tlemen are in the hands Of the Senate
committee on privileges and elections.
Oklahoma was furnished q seat In the
House Of Representatives in the person
OF David A. Harvey, formerly Of Topeka,
Kansas, lts first territorial delegate.
President HarTisOn's second annual
message was given to Congress, and one
might Judge from 1t that whatever talent
the national chief executive may possess
FOR speaking and writing, that his sense
OF feeling is not In close touch with the
people; that IN the element Of hearing he
has seemed to Ignore the admonitlon,
"He that hath ears to hear let him hear;"
that his tasting sense lies In his palat-
able (Y) statement In his defense Of the
Mckinley tariff act that tour form OF
government makes II imperative that we
save our working people from the aglta-
lions and dlstresses which scRnt work and
wages that have no margin for comfort
always begeti" and his sense Of seeing
perhaps was in the trend Of an under
standing Of the meaning Of the election
OF November 4, 1890
December 2--On motion Of Senator
Hoar, OF Massachusetts,, the Senate pro-
Ceeded TO consider House bill II, ,O45-the
Lodge bill-"to amend and supplement

and TO provide for the more efficient en-
iorcement OF such laws, and other pur-
pOses,"
The House Of Representatives consid-
sldered the international copyright bill.

Those who wish to learn all about

this evening and hear what DR.. p S.
Henson, the noted lecturer Of Chicago,
will have to say about Fools" He de-
Iivered this same lecture in Omaha re-
Gently. and the Repa5}icd8 said of it:
"a specially bright, breezy and inter
esting lecture was delivered at the First
Baptist Church, last evening, on Fools, -
by Rev. p. S. Henson, d. D., one OF the
most famous pulpit orators of Chicago,
and pastor of the First Baptist Church OF
that city. There was "a large audience
present, and probably for the first time
in the history of the structure the glass
in the windows was made to fairly rattle
with applause, as the speaker brought
down the house with happy, humorous
hits or bursts of genuine eloquence. The
lecture on the whole was one of the most
delightful ever given in this city"

Rabbi Brownies Interesting Lecture
Thereon Last Evening.
Rabbi Brownies lecture on the "Tal-
mud, its History and Ethics," was well
attended at the Sixth street NJ. E. Church
last evening. The lecturer is a learned,
broad-minded man, and is conversant
with his subject i'll the fullest sense.
Without being an orator, he is forcible
speaker. In lieu Of finished delivery he
has vigor, and III place of oratorical
charm he has earnGstnes5 and learning
The SMILES, parallels and anecdotes
with which he illustrated his theme, for
the most part, seemed strange and not
well chosen. Not that they did not serve
the purpose, but that they were not, as a
rule, elegant, and at times they appeared
to be below the level Of the dignity OF his
subject.
He was listened to attentively and held
his audience for an hour and three-quar-
tiers. Certainly his hearers gained by the
lecture great deal OF information upon
subject with which most OF them were
unfamiliar.

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.
Bogus Quarter-DolIar Pieces are Too
Numerous These Days.


Everybody has been talking for some
days past OF the unusual number of quar-
ter-dollars in circulation, and the fact has
been developed that the city is flooded
with spurious coins of that denomina-
ton.
These coins are close imitation of the
genuine, and have to be carefully in
spected in order to detect their spurious
character. There is difference notice
able in The head and neck of the figure OF
the Goddess of Liberty, those of the
counterfeit coins being more clumsy than
the genuine. They have about the same
ring and outwardly are OF good silver,
but the filling is base metal.
The bogus coins appear to be all
stamped ''I88S," and are quite bright.
BY close inspection the stars and the
figures 1888 will be found to be raised
higher from the surface than on the ordi-
nary quarter-dollar piece

A LIttle blaze Yesterday.

At noon yesterday a fire broke out in
the roof of shed in the Sacramento
Lumber Company's yard on Second

a stream of water from hose attached to
a neighboring fire-plug.
The flames were soon eXtinguished
after the fire engines arrived, and but
little damage was done. \ spark from

Influence of a Laugh.

Do you know, my dear that there is alb.
solutely nothing that will help you TO bear
the ills of life so well as a good laugh.
Laugh ali you can, and the small imps in
blue who love TO pre-empt their quarters
in a human heart will scatter away like
owls before the music of flutes. There are
few of the minor difficulties and annoy
ances that will not dissipate at the charge
of the nonsense brigade. If the clothes
line breaks, if the cat tips over the milk
and the dog elopes with the roast, if the
children fall into the mud simultaneously
with the advent of clean aprons, if the new
girl quits in the middle of house cleaning,
and though you search the earth with can
dies you can find none to take her place, if
the neigEbor in whom you have trusted
goes back on you and decides to keep
chickens, if the chariot wheels of the unin-
vited guest draw near when you are out of
provender. and the gaping of your empty
purse is like the untitled mouth of young
robin, take courage if you have enough
sunshine in your heart to keep laugh on
your lips. Before good nature half the
cares of daily living will fly away like
midges before the wind; try it.-Chicago
Herald.
