for several years. 1t has been decided that the

The committee expects 10 be gone about five
weeks. For wears there has been a demand for
a deep-water harbor on the southern coast of
California. but there has been a very aggravst-

The engineers have made several surveys. but
have always reported in favor of San Pedro
There has, however. always been a strong
sentiment In favor of the other port. and this
sentiment found champions in the persons of
Senators FRYE. Dolph and Jones of Nevada
There was likewise very heavy pressure

the part of baslress men Of the state. The COM

THE LAST BILL SIGNED.
1t is Sa.a to Have Been Mrs. McCawIey's
Pension Bill.

Pension Bin.
Numerous stories have been written relative
to the last official act of President Harrison,
but the exact facts have not been made known.
although more or less paihos has been thrown
into the incidents related. There were two
bills passed by both houses OF the last Congress
that failed TO become laws by reason of the
lack of time TO enroll them. These were bills
TO place Maj. Gen. George S. Greene on the
retired list and TO authorize Commander Den
mis- W. Muilan, U. S. N, to accept medal pre-
sented to him by the Chilean government. The
last bill signed by the President was that grant
ing a pension of $50 month to
Elisa Alden McCawley. widow of
Charles Grymes McCawley. late ccmmandant
of the United States marine corps. The House
OF Representatives was already in the Senate
chamber when the bill with its companion came
over and was placed before the secretary OF the
Senate. Believing it was simply impossible to
enroll 1t then at that hour. the secretary handed
them to the enrolling clerk. remarking that it
would have to be laid aside as lost. Tie clerk.
-ar. b. 5. Platt. glanced at them. and saw that
oGe granted a pension to woman. and WAS
short in it's wording. Hurrying to his room. he
sent messenger asking the President if he
would wait five minutes he would have pen
sion bill tor HIM TO sign. The President replied
that he would wait. and Mr.. Platt dictated
the text of the bill to rapid penman. It was
not beautifully written. but il was got out in
shape sufficiently good 10 muster. and Mr.. Platt
rushed into the Senate chamber and secured the
signatures of the Speaker, Vice President Nor
ton, and Secretary McCook. BY this time the
chamber WAS SO crowded that he could not get
out, and. handing the bill over the heads OF the
crowd. Mr.. Piatt asked that il be taken TO the
Presidents room. Mr.. P!att subsequently
reached tie room himself in time 10 see the
President sign the bill and lay down his pen.
1t was the last official of the retiring execu-
tive
