TIE SIXTEENTH SESSION.

The session which will close to-
morrow has been one with which the
taxpayers of the State can find but
lit5le fault.
1t has always been customary for
the public and TIE press to raise a
howl for several weeks after Lsgis>
lature session adjourns, bur in this
instance the session has been free
from scandals ard the bills which
have been passed have been sub
lected to the closest scrutiny and
are III the int, rests of the public.
The pledges of retrenchment
given last Fail by the Silver party
have been kept; obnoxious laws have
been repealed and the taxpayers have
received proper consideration.
Some good laws have been defeat
ed, but this is common thing in all
legislatures and next session, after
some of the old fogies are veeded
out Of the Senate, the State will re-
ceive the benefits of broader and
more progressive class of legislation.
All in all the Silver party has reason
to be proud of its representatives.
The Ormsby delegation have
worked hard for the interests of the
county aud succeeded in preventing
legislation mimical to its interests
and helped enact laws beneficial to
the county. Il is but just to Sena-
tor Hickey, the Republican follower
70 say that he acted in full harmony
with the Silver delegation IN the
House and was splendid fighter in
the Senate in all matters connected
with Ormsby interests

intentions than helping it.

YANKEE WINDMILLS.
Ingenuity Displacing the Old
Dutch Mill in Europe,

Professor Robert II. Thurston, the d.
rector of Sibley College. Cornell University,
has an article on Modern Uses Of the
Windmill" in the current number OF the
Engineering Magazine, in which he says:
American wndmills, like almost every
other product OF American ingenuity and
skill, constitute type. quite different from
the older forms original in Europe and the
East The latter all belong to the same spe-
cies, consisting usually If four arms set at
angles of 90degrees. with sails covering buta
small fraction of the circle described in
their revolution. The American mills con-
sst OF numerous radial arms, and have sails
set so closely together that. practically, the
whole circle Is covered These sails are
commonly wooden Stats or blades, tapering
from end to end, and so set that they may
intercept the whole current of air passing
inside the outer circle described by their
tips. They are so inclined as to de-
fleet the air. as it passes among
them. and absorb considerable portion
Of its energy. Thus is formed screw"
somewhat resem bling that of a steam YES
sell but having a much larger number Of
blades. 1t is capable OF giving vastly more
power, and has a much higher efficiency
than the old mill; though for stated power
much smaller aud lighter. and more "busi-
ness like" in appearance. Naturally this
improved construction, for which credit is
due 10 the American mechanic, is dispacing
its older rival, even in the home of the
latter, and the american" mill Is now to
be seen all over the wOrld-England, Ger
many, France, Holland and their colonies
on the opposite side of the globe, having
all taken ii up. as they have so many other
OF the fruits of the genius OF the Yankee"
inventor, and with results most satisfactory
to themselves no less than to the inventor.

May Rival Mark Twain's Beef Claim.

The suit of Nathaniel Mckay of this city
and executor of the estate of Donald Me-
Kay against the Government for eOmpensa-
tiOn for the construction of the Cheese
box monitors Squaado and Nauset and the
side-wheel steamer AshGelot promises to
rival Mark Twain's long drawn out beef
claim. Naval Constructor Philip HIGH
born and Chief Engineer Harrie Webster of
the navy have just been appointed to assist
tile Department of Justice in the prepara-
tiOn OF the defense of one of the claims for
1884 COO in the case Of the Nauset.
The claims. amounting to about 81, 000. 600,
are for the additional cost in building the
vessels named by reason of changes and al
terations ordered by the Government after
the vessels were we'll under wav, and also
for the delays in the prosecution of the
work caused by such changes and altera-
tons in the plans and specifications. After
eontestlng the claims in both houses of
Congress for many years bill was passed
nearly three years ago. authorizing the
claimants TO appear before the Court of
Claims, which received Jurisdiction to hear,
determine and give judgment In the case.
In the case so far considered it is found that
the claimants are entitled TO at least por-
ton of the amounts when they demand.
In the case Of one of the vessels the claim
amounted to Sl44.000, and the amount al
lowed was S115.o00 The suit has really
been before Congress twenty-five years.

STAMBOUL'S RECORD.
Investigation Establishes the
Stockton Time.
The Crackers Unable to Verify Their
Assertions of Fraud kearney'
Hearsay Testimony.
Special to THE MoRSINa CALL

STOCKTON. Feb. 10.-CaptaIn Y. T. Smith
and Jesse ID. Carr of the Pacific Coast
Board of Appeals of the National Trotting
Association commenced an investigation
into the Stockton records to-day and will
finish tomorrow.
The proceedings were sensational in the
introduction of letter purporting to have
been written by H. NJ McHugb. secretary
of the Lodi track, to James Cross, executor
of the Hobart estate, when he was in New
York, just before the sale of the Hobart sta
Bile at auction. In the letter the statement
was made that certain persons. one of whom
was judge IN the race. had said that
Stamboul did not make 2:07lR and that the
trial was Irregular. The writer said that
If something was not done to satisfy these
persons between the dates, December and
Decembe. Is, they would send affidayits
East and have them published through the
press OF the country. He said he was act
ing as correspondent for the parties and
could be addressed at Lodi.
Mr.. Cross testified that he believed tile
letter was an attempt at blackmail.
Sam Gamble added that the attack on
Stambou's record affected the sale 100000.
Kearney. who made the charges and was
one OF the JuuRes, IeluSeu 10 testify at UTSt,
but when threatened with expulsion gave
his story, claiming on hearsay that the
record was not better than 2:16. He said
he saw a timers watch only at the half
mile. and that the time then was :05A. but
Frank Coney, timer, swOre the half mile
was made in :02A and the mile in 2:0715.
Several witnesses swore that a man
standing where Kearney was could not see
The timer. Two men who timed the mile
while standing near the stand swore ii was
2:07H. Two witnesses swore that Kearney
said that there was a sack" in the thing
and he wanted mis- portion. A number of
witnesses swore that the proceedings were
regular in every respect, and no claim OF
fraud or irregulsrity was made.
Secretary Larus swore that Kearney
authorized him TO sign the record for him,
and was corroborated by another witness
who heard the talk. kearney denied it.
McHugh left for Lodi before testifying.
He said he was sick. lie must be here In
the morning or he will be expelled.
The correctness Of the time has been con-
clusively established by Covey and Thomp-
son, the timers, and two others who held
watches. Grant Campbell, who was in the
timers stand but was not an official timer,
has been subpenaed. but is not here yet.
Kearney says Campbell made the time rs.

young Yankee corporal walked right into
our post, sat down on a log as unconcerned
as you please, and asked Us If we knew how
TO play draw poker. Did we? We rather
thought we did. Had we any greenbacks
