SAN Francisco. Oct. 5.--On the-next trip
of the steamer National City TO this port
from Coos bay she will probably have in
tow cne of the largest cigar-shaped RATS
that has ever come to this city. From in
formation gathered today it was learned
that the raft Is 625 fee. in length. beam As
feet. and draws IS feet of water. There
are 3,5i5 plies in the raft, aggregating
4, 100, coo feet OF lumber. The raft has al
ready been constructed and Is ready 20 be
towed here, but as the depth of water on
the bar will not permit Of the raft being
brought over, high water is waited for.
The raft was constructed by II. r. Robin
son and is the first one sent from Coos bay.
1t is consigned TO the San Francisco Bridge
Company. 1t is not likely that a second
raft of the same dimensions will be bnilt,
as there is too much difficulty in bringing
II here.

Col. Oates called up the bill repeating the
statutes requiring affirmative proof OF
LOYALTY of pensioners OF wars previous 10
the late war. and also uermittlng such
pensioners 70 secure boui<y lands earned
by service IN the Mexiotn and Indian
wars At the suggestion Of Burrows the
bill was Withdrawn.
Oates then called up the bill disqualify-
ing United States judges from sitting in
cases in which they have ever been inter
ested as counselor or by ties of consan-
guinity. and 1t was passed.
The bill permitting boiler inspection at
the place of manufacture was passed, and
also the bill including the secretary of
agriculture in the list of residential snc-
cessors.
The bill restoring the property Of the
Mormon church now in the hands of re-
ceiver. in accordance with the provisions
OF the Edmunds-Tucker act, to that church,
created some opposition, and Delegate
Rawlins explained that as poiygany was
given up the property should go back to
the original purposes for which it was
designated. The supreme court of Utah
so held, but passage of this bill was neces-
sary to permit the receiver 10 make the
restoration.
After further debate the bill was passed
and consideration of the Tucker bill
resumed, Murray taking the hoor for
completion of the speech he began vester-
day. The colored man declared no gambler
or coniuror had ever devised more plans
to defraud his victims than were con-
Quoted by the Southern Democratic poll
ticians to rob men of his race OF their

s.murderers.n .'thieves" and ..ballos box
rapersn to Southern Democratic politi-
clans. and appealed eloquentiy to North
ern Democrats. Western Populists and
patriotic Republicans everywhere to resist
passage of this nefarious bill. He an
nounced that the bill was step in the
direction of abrogation of the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and
called on the people of his race to mark
we'll every man who voted for this bill.
..Tsut even II the bill passes | cannot be-
Iieve but the good and philanthropic man
in the White Ho2se Is too humane TO
strike down the legal walls that protect
the black man."
Russell Of Georgia followed in advocacy
of the measure. In speaking of the decay

lie said the Republicans misunderstood
the situation in the South because they
knew no more about the Afro Americans
than they knew about the Kaffirs of South
Africa.
Hainer of Nebraska opposed the bill. Al
the conclusion of his speech the house
adjourned.
