The harbor defence war ship, Monterey,
built at the yards of the Union Iron Works.
San Francisco, is to be tested this week.
II is steel vessel having effective armor
and the best modern requisites. IL is the
last of the new vessels to be tested under
q contrac, providing for horse power in
stead of speed. That was the old prin-
ciple in building our vessels, the theory
being that if the ship was designed by the
government, all il could ask the contractors
10 do was to promise . specified amount of
engine power: and whether the vessel went
little faster or slower might depend on her
displacement, her lines and so on. which
the government regulated. The new plan
takes the ground that since sreadis the real
thing desired, it is not important how much
or how little horse poweris furnished to get
that speed With. The government is ac-
cordingly accustomed t. consent to some
minor alterations, by which contractors be-
heve that they can produce more speed and
- earn more premiaaa.

The fact that the ntted States Senate
IN the next Gongre will be very closely
divided politically will make the two DEM
ocratic senators from the state of New

doubtless has much to do with the growing
opposition in Democratic circles to the
election Of Mr.. Edward Murphy, or of any
other man who can be controlled by Senator
Hill. The latter is likely to do whatever
lies in his power to cmbarrass the Cleye-

President are naturally anxious 10 sec that

Upon OUR SUGGESTION THE

Upon OUR SUGGES TON THE
" Lottery people having dropped the
"policy clause" have met our further
views and have decided to offer t'irewood
instead of Coin as prizes, and upon in
quiring around and getting prices quoted
by several dealers they settled on two as
the only ones whose rates were sufficient
ly cheap for business, calling upon the
one of those whose prices were quoted
lowest, they had about concluded ar
engagements when they discovered that
his wood was worthless as it was worm
eaten and had dry-rot, SO dropping their
negotiation they called upon the other,
HUSTACE & CO., and after apologizing
for not coming there first they inspected
their Wood and found it in frst-class
condition-sound and good-and more
than doubly worth the difference asked ;
without further argument the bargain
was closed and thus the objection to the
Lottery is now removed and every one
will be supplied with Sound Firewood

at the report. 1t amounted to full
license to any bully or thug to at
tempt to intimidate any member of
the House as long as he did not pro-
ceed to actual violence. AS the com
mittee had made this unanimous
recommendation, the House had bet
ter adopt the principle by all means.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox could not sup
port the motion. Article 81 did not
mean that a man must be knocked
down and beaten before his rights
were violated. The Marshal should
conduct himself like a gentleman,
and not like an Infatuated brute. The
House should protect its members,
and not compel them to go round
armed against any man who threat
ened them with V iolence. How long
did the Cabinet propose to keep the
Marshal there in defiance of every
demand?
Rep. Bush said the House should
protect its members against every
aggression in the shape of threats or
violence. He wished to raise his hand
in protest against a report like this.
1t would be a degradation to the
House to accept a report like this.
Rep. Ashford said when he made
the DlOU1OH lie udu UOJ Ttdu tilc MAI
shaPs affidavit. Now that he had
read it, he felt compelled to withdraw
his motion. (The speaker then read
the affidavit.) The speaker wished to
submit that if this case rested on the
affidavit of the Marshal alone, it
would show that he had violated the
members privilege. If any member,
after hearing it, could doubt that it
had been the intention to bulldoZe
and intimidate him, he wished him
joy of his intelligence. He would
move the matter be made the special
order for Tuesday, along with other
matters relating to the Marshal. He
had no personal interest in this ques-
ton, and should not vote on it. The
report was a whitewashing report,
and the Marshal would naturally
draw the inference that he could re-
peat his violence and carry it much
further.
Rep. Kamauoha moved the report
be adopted.
The report was made the special or
der for tomorrow.
Rep. Smith presented a report of
the Rice Committee, recommending
that all the bills, etc., to reduce or
abolish the duty on rice be laid on the
table.
The report was laid on the table for
consideration with the bill, and at
12:11 the House took its usual recess.
