The Routine Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The resolu-
tions offered in the senate by Chandler
directing an inquiry into the operations

favor of admission to seats of senators
appointed by the governors of Montana,
Wyoming and Washington. A minority
report adverse will be made tomorrow
by Vance.

luton annulling the provision of the last

A strange Heavenly BODY.

SAN Francisco, March 27.-11 80 a.
m.-The most peculiar phenomenon is
visible in the heavens here, a little south
of west and not far above the horizon.
1t appears like large star and occasion
ally flames out red and blue sparks. 1t

north and is slowly sinking. Efforts are
being made now to reach Lick observa-
tory and other observatories, which are
shut off from telegraphic communication
at this hour. The same phenomenon is

Too Much Grain i'm, mexico.

Cry OF MEXICO, March 27.-The re-
moval of the duties on corn which went
into effect March 10, has caused another
great rush of grain into Mexico from the
United States. There has also been a
great decrease in the price of corn in this
city and other places in Mexico to which
it is being shipped. Shippers are COM
planning of the action of the railroad
companies in maintaining high freight
rates, and the government will be ap-
piled to in the matter.

The tests this afternoon were entirely
satisfactory, many of them being made
by the guests. Writing sketches, musi-
cal notation, and stenographic charact-
ers were transmitted with equal fidelity.
The tests were made through artificial
resistances representing many hundred
miles of wire. It is expected that the
telautograph will be generally used as an
adjunct to the telephone and for busi-
ness purposes generally where private
wires are EMPLOYED.

supreme Court pecision.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The United
States supreme court has decided that
the United States could not condemn
the property of private corporations
without considering in the proceedings
the earning capacity thereof. The de-
cision grew out of proceedings to con-
denim the locks of the Monongahela
Navigation Company, in which the right
of the company to collect tolls on vessels
passing through the locks was not con-
sidered, such action being taken in obe-
dience to an act of congress in relation
to the matter.

Not Seen at Lick Observatory.
SAN JOSE, CAL, March 27.-Communi-
cation was gained by telephone between
Lick observatory and here about mid
night, but before the telescope could be
fixed on the phenomenal star it had
sunk below the horizon and no observa-
tions could be taken. In this city the
phenomen was quite perceptible, ap-
pearing as very brilliant, periodically
flashing forth red and blue light. AS it
crossed the line of the horizon it ap-
peared as double star to the naked eye.
Witnessed by Hundreds at San Diego.
SAN Diego. CAL, March 2a-The phe-
nomenon was first noticed at midnight,
slightly south of west. At a. m. it was
north of west, and moving rapidly north
and sinking toward the horizon. 1t had
the appearance of star of the first mag
nitude emitting a continual brilliant
sparkle of green, red and yellow lights.
A flash occasionally shot from the daz-
zling center. Good glasses failed to re-
veal the disk. The sky was perfectly
clear at 80 and the star had sunk so
low it was hid by the heavy fog over the
ocean. The most brilliant spectacle was
witnessed by hundreds of people.

There seems he Il difference Of opinion
among the faithful about the interview which
Mr.. Richard Croker put forth in the Sunday
papers: but 50 far as we can ascertain. there
is Il pretty general feeling on the inside that
