operations of the department.
VALLEJO. Cal, Jan. 19.-The force IN the
steam engineering department. at Mare
island was largely increased this morning,
and there is a desire to accomplish as
much work IS possible IN the snoftess
time. The Adams, Ranger and Nipsic are
asked for by the department Inc Moni-
can is ready and can leave the YARD AT any
time. The men working at night have re.
ceivedsno orders to cease their labors. Naval
officials refuse TO discuss matters concern
ing what is likely TO be done. The Charles
ton is expected here, and she Will go IN
the dock at once. Her hull will be cleaned
and every attention paid TO her machln-
cry. A large increase is expected IN the
yards and docks force, so as TO get ner OUT
of the dock as soon as possible. The bal-
timore is in the stream, and full force OF
workmen are on board. Inside of month
the yard can be cleared OF vessels should
occasion require it. Orders concern
ing the repairs to the Nipsic are
considered surprising in view of the fact
that she was to have done duty at the new
navy yard at Port Orchard. The general
belief exists that the government intends
that there shall be no delay to any vessel
at the yard, and from night until morning
work is being prosecuted vigorously. The
rumor gained circulation today that the
crew of the Albatross is likely to be trans
ferred to the monitor Comanche. Although
many believed the statement at first it was
found to have no foundation whatever.
SAN Diego, Jan. 19.-Just before noon
final orders were given by Captain Remy
to proceed with the Charleston to San
Francisco. 1t was expected that the ves-
sci would leave the harbor about 4 o'clock
this afternoon.

perienced in some time. A New Orleans

eminent observer says the thermometer
registered 10 below and the weather was
the worst ever recorded in the history of
Texas. The losses on ranches from stock
frozen to death will reach enormous fig
ures.

Kyle thinks war with Chile would be q
disgrace; that the idea of going to war
with so small country is criminally re-
dicuIous.
PETER said:

from 9 mistaken sense OF honor. lot Of our

At enormous expense, the death Of many Of our

The New Rules of the House.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 19.-It is known
that there will be only a few changes IN
the rules of the Fiftieth congress. The
modified Holman rule of the Forty-eighth
congress, under which legislation was per-
mitted on appropriation bills when ger
name and in the line of retrenchment of
expenditures. will be re-adopted. A rule
will also be added limiting to one hour the
call of states on Mondays for the intro
duction of bills, the object being to pre-
vent flibustering on suspension days, by
wasting time in the introduction and
reading Of long bills. 1t is also likely,
although this is not yet absolutely decided
upon, that rule will be framed to prevent
prolonged filibustering by enabling the
House to vote any measures it desires to
close debate. This rule will probably give
the rules committee authority to bring in
a special order, fixing the time at which
debate on any specific measure shall cease,
approval of the order by the House, of
course being necessary
