OF discussion in the Senate to-day. More
than ninety such errors were stated by
Hale to have been discovered by him in
the naval appropriation bill alone.
Mcpherson offered resolution, which
was referred to the Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor, directing the Commits
sioner of Labor to make report at the
opening of the Fifty-third Congress COM
pretending the facts as to the total cost in
sproducing various iron and steel products,
such as bar iron, steel rails, ETC., and of
leading articles of textile industry and
other articles, the cost of which may be
approximately obtained.
Chandler offered resolution (which
was referred to the Committee on Epi-
demic Diseases directing the Secretary of
the Treasury to ascertain and report at
the first session of the next Congress the
value of real and personal property be-
longing to any State or municipal gov
ernment designed or used for quarantine
purposes, and the prices at which such
property may be purchased by the United
States.
In discussing the errors in the enrolled

bills never had been so delayed as at the
last session. Two or three great appro-
priation bills were delayed in the last two
days of the session by the useless discus
sion of other matters. The result had
been that when the bills went to the
House to be enrolled there. .was not suf-
flcient time to have the work properly
done. He admitted that there had been
great carelessness. Still the fact re-
mained that if the Senate clock had shown
the standard time, the naval appropriation
bill, even in its imperfect form, would not
have been presented for the signature of
the President. 1t was lesson which ne
trusted no Senator would forget hereafter.
1t was to be regretted that so many errors
had occurred, but it was wonder there
were not still more.

Another Wonder OF the Colorado Des-
ert Described.
SAN DIEGO, March 20.-An interesting
discovery comes by the way of the min
ing town of Julian, up in the mountains.
A correspondent of its paper, the Weekly
Sentinel, tells Of a journey over the Colo
rado Desert. He had camped midway
between the Seventeen Palm Springs"
which is about twenty miles out, and the
Fish Springs, some 250 feet below the sea-
level. From there he could trace for
miles on the mountain side the line of a
former sea, the portion that was below
the water being of a dull gray. From
Fish Springs he travelled three miles to
the base of mountain and found that
instead of corroding lime, the almost
perpendicular rock was really of solid
coral formation, two hundred feet high,
following ragged lines. filling crevices
and lining cave, with a spectacle of
magniticence. The cave, fifty feet high
by twenty-six wide, of coral lining, is
hardly touched by time. In little bay,
between two jagged points of the rocks,
the beach outlines are still distinct above
the coral formation. Little coves are cut
in the rocks as evidences of shelter for
Indians, while from them run indistinct
trails upward.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Repub-

There will be no opposition to the elec-

The committees and clerks have been
changed and the Republicans say that re-
organization is complete for this session.
If the Democrats try to go further the
Republicans will quote from the RECORDS
of 1881, when the Democrats opposed anv
effort of this sort on the part of the Re-
publicans, who finally abandoned the
effort in this direction.
If this is not sufficient, another caucus
will be held, with the probability of de-
cision to filibuster, as the Democrats did
in 1881. The Republicans say they have
the power to prevent a new organization.
