threatened or existing strikes their inter
ests would be be better subserved.
lit strikes your committee" the report
continues, that if Prick acted upon the
views laid down by Andrew Carnegie in
his article on the "Results of Labor
troubles" in the Forum magazine, which
IN recent letter to the Chairman of this
committee he reaff1rmed, and had further
extended negotiations with the workmen
at Homestead, the strike might have been
avoided"
The committee delares that the employ
ment OF private armed guard at Home
stead was unnecessary. At the same
Tune 1t seems to be no excuse for strikers,
themselves responsible. "Laboring men
should learn the lesson that they cannot
better their condition by violating the
law or resisting lawful authority"
In conclusion the committee says its
investigation led it to conclude that the
fault was not wholly on one side: that the
middle ground seems to be in the direc-
ton of arbitration. Without making any
recommendations, but pleading for arbi-
tration, the committee closes its report
by saying:
10 this end we bespeak the co-opera-
tion OF all patriotic citizens, and your
committee will welcome any legislation
which will tend to secure the laboring
man every right, without depriving the
employer, for both are guaranteed by the
Constitution and the laws of this land"

well enough alone and not take up
any new-fangled hobbies imported to us
from the East by people who have not

1t is true that the Gesford bill provides

OF WINE rates out of the Napa Valley, be-
cause they take second class and the car

proposed Act to publish a commodity
rate, the only alternative would be TO re-

makes the second class rate for the same

points within the State of California, on
all commodities taking second class. as
per Western classification, the same as
the competitive rate made from points i'm

Senate to investigate and report to the

G. b., Sacramento.
Scientifically speaking, both are wrong.
Light travels from The object to the eye.
Seeing is the perception of objects by the
eye. Light travels with great velocity
about $4,000 miles per second, but its
velocity is measurable. Early inuuirers
supposed that rays OF light proceeded
from the eye to the object. The bulk of
mankind say they see" and some be-
lieve they do see; that is, that the eye.
literally speaking, sees. But if by this
they mean some action of the eye they are
in error. 1t is action of light upon the eye.
The ray of light coming to the eye can
not convey true impression of length or
bulk; but as every object-that is, what
we call visible-sends forth diverging
rays which form a cone one part of which
rests upon the pupil of the eye, the latter
receives an impression upon which,
through the brain, we form a Judgment
of the distance, the form, etc. 1t is inn
possible, however, in these limits to ex-
plain what you can only clearly under
stand by studying some good writer on
vision, optics and light.

TREASURY AFFAIRS.
Ihe New Secretary Giving Much At
tention to the Subject

The New Secretary Giving Much At
tention to the Subject.
| WASHINGTON, Feb 10.-Carlisle, within
the last few days, has given much atten-
ton and study to treasury affairs, ac-
quainting himself with the business
pending in the department, which is
likely to remain over for solution by the
next Administration. The principal of
these questions is the recent heavy
absorption of gold. He had a personal
conference with several prominent
officials in the Treasurer's office. They
admitted that all theories as to the cause
OF the outflow of gold had been dashed
TO the wall by recent events, and said
they had stopped trying to find out the
reasons, and, instead, are bending all
energies to keep intact the gold reserve
OF SlOO,0C0,0O0. Secretary Foster ex-
presses the opinion that the gold output
within the next few months will not be
SO great as it has been. Some Treasury
officials advance the opinion that as the
House refused to repeal the Sherman law,
gold Will cease to be exported, on the
theory that the gold movement to
Europe is intended mainly to influence
legislation.
GOLD SHIPMENTS
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Gold shipments
by to-morrow's steamers will aggregate
$4,000. The original estimate is reduced,
because one house preferred to ship
bonds. Orders have already been re-
ceived to consign S5,5O0,OOO in gold next
week, provided the large sterling loan.
falling due February 18th, is not renewed.
OF this amount at least S2,OOO,OOO will

A DENIAL BY SECRETARY FOSTER.
T WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-In regard to
the statement published here this after
noon, and also telegraphed to New York,
that Secretary Charles Foster is now is
suing bonds, or certificates to be converted
into bonds, in order to replenish the
stock of gold in the Treasury, under pro-
visions of Section of the RESUMPTION
Act, and that over fifty millions is to be
issued" Secretary Foster authorized an
emphatic denial of the publication.
New Mexico Admission Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-When the
New Mexico admission bill was reached
on the calendar to-day, during the morn
ing hour in the Senate, Senator Carey did
not call it up on account of the absence of
Mr.. Platt, Chairman of the Committee
on Territories, who was detained at home
by reason OF serious illness in his family.
Comment on Grcsham's appointment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lott seems to be
settled that Gresham will be Cleveland's
Secretary of State. The Democrats are
very angry, and few are heard to praise
the selection. Cleveland is again being
dubbed "Mugwump" by some of his
erstwh lille supporters,
