New YORK, August Is

New YORK, August Is, 1891.
The Protestant Episcopal Church of
this country projects cathedral that will
dwarf and outshine any such building
that we now have in this country, and
that will rival the famous structures of
! the old world. 1t is a commentary on
American life that we have never yet
builded any really vast pile for the wor-
ship of God. There are few costly and
elaborate churches in several cities, it is
true, but none that can be considered
with st. Peters or St. Paul's, except per
haps St Patrick's, on Fifth Avenue. St.
| Peters, at Rome, is 613 feet feet long,
448 feet high, was from 1850 to 1926 in
building, cost over $15,OOO,OOO, and has d
standing capacity of fully $4,000. ST.
PauPs, London, has a capacity of 26,0O0
1t is 500 feet long, 1888 feet high, was 80
years in building, and cost over $6,000,-
600. The present st. Patrick's, in New
York, is 300 feet long, $50 feet high, was
20 years in building, and is said, with all
its surroundings, to have cost 100000.
The Episcopal edifice will be known as
st. Johns. The accepted plans contem-
plate building $50 feet long, 425 feet
high, and to cost somewhere below So
100000. The architecture is exceedingly
symmetrical and beautiful, the materials
are expensive, the details to be finished
richly, and the entire work is to be done
with the celebrity of modern times-a ce-
lerity hitherto unknown to building of
this class. The cathedral will crown an
eminence near Morningside Park, at
10th street. To predict, one might say
with much reason that it will be in the
center of fashionable New Ork, perhaps |
thirty years hence. 1t will be a conspic-
uous landmark that will overshadow the
two white towers of st. Patrick's, that
now mark Fifth Avenue, and are now
in the very heart of upper tendum.
The committee on plans deliberated
long between the plans finally accepted
and those of an audacious and original
architect from Newark, NJ. The latter
has had much success with the dome
shaped structure, and he let his imagana-
tiOn out, conceiving building. the main
feature of which should be tremendous
dome soaring to the height of 600 feet,
by corner tower reaching
some metres farther heavenward This
plan narrowly missed adoption, and it
will be regretted by many persons of the
Chicago type of mind, the ideal of whose
souls is the stupendous. The better taste
of the committee prevailed, however, and
ti.oy deoidod on following the models of
centuries rather than sacrificing every
other consideration to immensity.

COAST INTERESTS.
Changes in the Postal Service San Fran
cisco Quarantine Station.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-In the case of P.
A Heaton vs. John Weir, involving land in
the San Francisco District, the decision of
the Commissioner is affirmed.
A postoffice has been established at Rose
dale, Kern County, California, with William
II. Adams as Postmaster.
The special postal service to Campbell,
Mojave County, Arizona, will be discon-
tinued after February 81, and will be in
cluded in the Kingman aud Mineral Park
route.
After February 16, the contractor for
carrying mail between the main office OF San
Francisco and Station E. will be required to
make eight round trips daily, and on Sunday
one round trip.
Uriah Bennett has been commissioned
Postmaster ut Delmar, California.
DR.. Glass, who has charge of the San
Francisco Quarantine Station, asks for an
Improvement in the fire apparatus, but it
has been decided that no improvements can
be thought of until June next, when the de-
partment will get another allowance of
funds. 1t is thought the improvements will
be made this year.
There was some little talk of reducing the
appropriation for the Santa Monica Soldiers
Home in the House to-day, but Representa-
tive Vandever, by little quiet work, sue
ceeded in having it passed without any
changes being made.
Senator Dolph was informed by the Sec
retary of the Interior to-day that the ap-
praisement of Umatilla Indian reservation
lands had been approved and transmitted to
the Commissioner of the General Land Of
fee and that sales would take place about
April 1st next.
The following order has been issued by
the War Department: By direction of the

Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill when it
reaches the Senate.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs of the
House held meeting to-day on the Cable
Bill and Morrow was first given hearing.
He spoke for nearly an hour, showing the
Importance of the bill to the whole country,
and especially its importance to the Coast.
The Pacific cable, in his judgm ent, would be
1elt more in the commercial world to-day
than was the first Atlantic cable in its day.
Inc whole country was interested in the
trade OF the Orient, and that trade was in
creaslng every day and nothing would as
sISt IN developing it more than cable. He
also touched on the Importance of building
up political relations with the Sandwich
Islands.
Morrow was followed by Dunnell of Min
nesota, who spent a half hour in speaking
Oh the enterprise IN general and favorable
way. McCreary, true to the instincts of
democracy, opposed the bill. He could not
see any objection to granting q charter and
lending it moral support (whatever that
meansl, but he was opposed to the Govern
Inent giving any money in support of the
cable. He worked himself up to white
heat and made enough noise in the small
commttee-room to fill the Representative
nall even when the Democrats are giving a
war-dance. He denounced it as an 0ld-t time
Republican scheme TO give money to certain
sections to curry favor with the people, and
at the same time rob them.
The committee will meet again on the bill
Thursday and it appears to be the feeling
to give the bill fair consideration. So far
there was nothing in the committee meeting
to show how the members stand. but it is
quite certain chat a favorable report will be
made without delay.

MEDALS AND BADGES.
A Big Parade Made by the First
Infantry.
Inc States Varied Testimonials to Its Mem
bers Presented in Formal Manner
Before Crowded Pavilion.

The First Infantry Regiment, Second
Brigade, n. G. c.. was paraded last night
for the distribution of service-medals and
also the badges earned for craftsmanship
during the year 1890. The only disappoint-
ing feature in connection with the affair was
the unavoidable absence of Colonel George
III. Knight, j. A. G., who telegraphed down
at a late hour from Sacramento that he
would be unable to be present. Colonel
John q. Dickinson was therefore thrown
into the breech and spoke the words of
presentation.
The Mechanics Pavilion, which was
placed at the disposal of the regiment. at
$3.50 o'clock was crowded, of course. with
the friends of the organization, and the lat
ter paraded about four-fifths of its numeri-
cal strength of sol enlisted men in seven
companies, not including the cadets, but
with two Of the companies of the battalion
parading each over eighty. besides which
there was full regimental band of thirty
pieces, and also drummers and buglers. SO
that the actual number in line, speaking
generally, was over 800, a strength on a
parade of battalion, which is the rare ex-
ception in this brigade ur in this State.
Line was formed in the Regimental
Armory, so that there was no delay, and
punctually at the hour set the regiment

Special 10 THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, Feb. 9.-The World says: Meis-
Ionier failed notoriously to make his mark
at pOrtraiture, but he could never be per-
!uaded that he was not quite as good as
either Cabanal or Bonnat. Soon after Mrs.
Mackay began her sittings to him she was
attacked by a dangerous Illness of many
weeks duration, and Nessonier, whose
commercial aptitude was notorious, fearing
to lose the 70000 francs agreed on, fastened
to finish the picture with the aid of model.
The result can easily be imagined, and Mrs
Mackay, who wears 81 gloves, very natur-
ally objected to being depicted with the
hands Of an Amazon, and asked him 10 make
certain changes.
Meissonier ,Jst his temper and fatty re-
fused In very uncourteous terms, alleging
that the signature of Meissonler was worth
the money. Here the matter ended, the
alleged sequel being entirely imaginary.
Messonier got his money, for which Mrs.
Mackay holds his receipt, without mo-
ment's delay, and my French readers will
be relieved to learn that the portrait still ex-
lists carefully packed away in the cellars of
John W. MRckay's Paris bankers. 1t has
not seen the daylight for some years. but it
is alleged that its tragic destruction was sim
ply canard. Three years ago Meissonier
married the model, who was the innocent
cause of the absolute want Of resemblance,

FRUIT DISEASES.
A Misunderstanding Regarding the Agri-
cultural Appropriation Bill

cultural Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--Secretary Rusk
has received a number of kilograms from
California urging certain parties for appoint
ment as Special Agent of the Agricultural
Department in the investigation of diseases
of fruit trees in California There appears
to be a misapprehension regarding the ap-
preparation for this purpose. which is con-
tanned in the Agricultural Bill as reported
to the House to-day. The following clause
is contained in the bill, and it is no change
from the bill of last year, which carried the
same appropriation and for the same pur-
pose, VIZ. Division of vegetable pathology

Gus to fruits, fruit trees, grain, cotton and
other useful plants, experiments in the

paratus required in the field and laboratory.
necessary travelling expenses, the prepara-
tion of drawings and illustrations and
for other expenses connected with The prac-
priation is $4,000, Of which so much as
may be directed by the Secretary of
Agriculture may be applied to the investiga-
tion of peach yellows, California grape rot
and the blight of cotton. pear blight, the
diseases of the orange and remedies there
for. The sum OF $4,000 of this appropriation
is to be paid in salaries, of which the chief
pathologist is to receive $1,000 and two trav-
eiiug assistants are to receive salaries OF
$140O and $1,000 respectively. A clerk is
allowed $1,000, and the balance is to be ex-
pended in apparatus, chemicals and trav-
cling expenses. These pathologists are
already in the employ of the department,
and no change in the force is contemplated.
In investigating the disease of peach yell
lows aud other ailments peculiar to Calfor-
mia trees, Secretary Rusk will probably
assign one pathologist to Southern Celifor-
MIA, and another to the central and northern
portion of the State 1t is understood that
Secretary Rusk will avail himself Of the
services Of experts in California, who are
acquainted with the diseases OF their loca
trees, and who will be of great assistance tt

DE HIRSCH TRUST FUND.
The Directors Chosen and Plan Of Action
Decided Upon

OeC1usu pom.
New YORK. Feb. 9.-The trustees of the
Baron de Hirsch fund have signed the trust
deed prepared by the Baron. and on March
1 will draw on him for $4,000 The
trustees are Mver S. Isaacs, President;
Jacob Il. Schiff, Vice Presidents. Jesse Selig-
man, Treasurer; Julius Goldman. Secre-
tary; Oscar Strauss, Henry Rc
and James H. Hoffman,, Trustees
The general agent of the fund is Adophus
5. SolOmons. There are no restrictions
in the agreement drawn up by Baron de
HiIsch which would hinder the Trustees
in expending the money given i'll the direc-
ton where it would the most good to He
brew emigrants according to their iudg-
ment. The Income Fund is about $4,000 a
month, and it will be devoted entirely to the
relief and eduCa tion of Hebrew immigrants
and ther children who come to this country.
The Trustees have established branch COM
mittees in Philadelphia, Baltimore and II
number of other places. Rooms have been
rented here and lifted up for school pur-
poses, and Hebrew children of newly
arrived immigrants are sent here TO
learn the English language and also study
subjects in the curriculum of the public
schools Of the city. The Trustees have
within the last six months found employ
ment for nearly 5000 people. The Trustees
make no gifts of money, but give it as a
loan, and the borrower gives his note, pay
able in installmeuts. Mechanics are fur
nlshed with instruction and tools, and
money IS given for support when it is needed
1t must be returned No interest is re-
CURED. The refusal on the part of the
Russian Government to accept a gift of
SIS, GOO from the Baron for the education
of Russian Hebrews was the incentive
which induced him TO give the fund for the
benefit OF those Hebrews who come to this
country.

ShOrtleSS Of Their Rati0nS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The conference
with the Indians was resumed to-day.
Commissioner Morgan said he had heard
enough of the past, and he wanted to discuss

of the whites upon the Indians lands. The
rations of coffee, he said, amounted TO about
100 grains per week to each person, and he
complained of the smallness of the bacon
rations. He said the delegation had reached
the unanimous decision that they did not
want military agents.
Big Name of Lower Brule Agency said
the whites prevented the Indians from get
ting fuel and hay. He wanted the agency
moved nearer. They needed better school
facilities. lie complained of the small size
OF the beef cattle given them
Little No Heart spoke in the same VEIN.
Commissioner Morgan asked such of the
Indians as preferred civil agents to stand
up. All did so except Major Swords, chief
OF the Indian police at Pine Ridge, who pre-
ferred military agents.
Mad Bear, from Standing Rock, said his
people insisted On more reservation schools
LII schools were located on the reservations
their influence would be felt not only by the
pupils, but by their parents as we'll.

prisonment, and it will require care to bring
the men through.
When the accident occurred some thought.
the men might possibly have got out oil
the reach of the water, although the idea
was secuted by the majority. The rescuing
party has been steadily at work ever since,
however, determined to learn the fate of the
men,. At an early hour this morning they
heard faint cry and soon could talk. with
the imprisoned men, who said: :" We're all
alive, but for Gods sake hurry"
In few moments more the rescuers MADE
a raft and pushed their way to the little
chamber at the head of the cross-headlngs,
where the men were lying in cramped
position, with the water almost up to them.
They were quickly taken out into the open
air, where dozens of their comrades hugged
them and welcomed them as the dead come
to life. Nourishment was given them ana
in few days they will be all right. They
did not suffer much from hunger, their
greatest misery being thirst and tie cramped
position in which they were forced to re-
main.
