why we did not build them wider. I
answer that fifteen feet on each side
is far enough to move the hay dropped
in the center. and a wider barn would
be harder to ventilate. Our hay doors

fourteen feet high. and hung at the

PhilanthrOpist Licl's Gift to His State
Unveiled at San

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 2s.-The James
Lick monument was unveiled to-day with
appropriate ceremonies. When the late
James Lick died he left an estate of sew
eral million dollars which,, by his wife, was
to be extended in various public improve
ments and institutions. Among the insti-
tutions bearing his name are the great OBJ
servatory on Mt. Hamilton, the Lick free
baths and the Lick school of mechanical
arts, which is soon to be opened, the acad-
envy of sciences building and the Pioneer
building, that is soon to be opened. One
hundred thousand dollars was set aside for
a descriptive of California, to be
erected in front of the City Hall. This
monument has just been completed and was
unveiled this morning. The ceremonies were
held in Odd Fellows Hall. President Refs,
OF the Society of California Pioneers, intro
duced Irving NJ. Scott as chairman. E. p.
Mastick gave a history of the Lick trust.
Frank Happersburger, the designer and
builder of the monument, gave a short
well, orator of the Pioneer Society, deliv-
cred an grafton; Mr.. Washington Aver re-
cited a poem; George 5. Schoenwald, presi-
dent of the James Lick Trust. formally
presented the monument to the city au-
thorities, and Mayor Ebert made the ad-
dress of acceptance. The children or the
public schools sang patriotic songs and
bands played national airs.

Mr.. COMING.
He WIZ Seek an American Divorce
from the "Jersey Lily"

NEW YORK, Nov. GA suite of rooms
was engaged at the F~ifth-avenue Hotel yes
terday for Mr.. Edward r.. Langtry, due
to arrive here within the next few days
from North Wales. Mr.. Langtry is the
husband of the Jersey Lily at present
on tour in this country. 1t is said that he
comes to America with a view to divorce
proceedings. 1t is many years now since
the separation, by mutual consent, took
place, and since then Mr.. Langtry has led
! lonely life in the least frequented and
R5St Srreary part of the Island of Angle
iea. at the extreme end of North Wales.
The nearest town to the Langtry hermi-
tage is Holyhead, where the American,
English and Scotch mails are shipped to
Kingstown, ireland. Mr.. Lsngtry resides
in a small and humble cottage with a valet
whom he calls Friday" after the faithful
attendant of Robinson Crusoe. His daily
occupations are sailing. fishing and shoot
ing. and these outdoor sports he invaria-
bly, enters upon alone and unattended. For
four years he was captain OF the lifeb0at
he lost on the night of OF the great Welsh
coast storm, owing to a quarrel with the
second officer. When not out of doors with
gun or rod he does some newspaper work
erary effort was a Christmas story for
Dublin Sport. Mr.. Langtry sees his wife
very rarely. 1t is common property that
bhe lily has offered TO supply her hus-
band with certain Information that would
facilitate divorce proceedings, but SO far
he has declined. Now, however, he has
decided to seek freedora on this side of the
Atlantic. No sensational disclosures need,
however. be looked forward to, as the
charge to be relied on is one of simple de-
sertfon. Mr.. Langtry is a tall, thick-set
man OF fifty. He has a brisk manner and
a somewhat agriculturally provincial APP
pearance. He Invariably refers to to his
wife as ''she' or 'her."

Senator Jones Says the Free-Trade

to Put RepubIicahs ON Record.
HON. HOKE SMITHS REPORT
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT INDIANS,
PENSIONS AND OTHER MATTERS.
Rumor that the ~BlueHelds Incident IL
Settled md that Minister Costing
May BE Recalled.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Ex-senator Jones,
OF Arkansas, a member OF the finance COM
mittee. said to-day that he had no doubt
there would be an earnest effort on the
part of the Democratic members of the
finance committee to get the Senate to con-
slider the supplementary tariff bills con-
corning sugar, coal and iron at the forth
coming session. He said that he, for one,
should advocate that the bills as reported
by the finance committee should be taken
up and passed il possible. 1t was suggested
20 the Senator that he had been repre-
scented as having taken a different position
and TO have agreed in a conference held
In New York with Senator German and
others to allow these bills to die a natural
death without any effort TO revive them.
81 ave heard" he said, that a confer
ence was reported TO have been held, but
If there was such a conference and such
q conclusion was reached I was not in it,
Continuing. Mr.. Jones said that he did
not see how the Democratic Senators could
under all the circumstances afford not to
at least make the effort to pass these bills.
''Of course" he said. IF there is a majority
IN the Senate against US. We shall not be
able to get them through; but that is one
of the things that remain to see. If
certain DeInOCTdDC SendlOfS WHO are sup
posed to be against the bills prove upon
the test TO be really opposed to them, we
shall not be able to get favorable action
in case the Republicans should be solid
against further tariff action by the present
Congress. / think the Republicans ought
to be put on record on the sugar bill. They
have twitted the Democrats mercilessly on
the charge Of selling out to the Sugar
Trust. Many people believe that there is a
larger element on the Republican side
friendly to a duty on refined sugar than
on the Democratic side, and We now have
a chance at least to see how this is. AS
is generally known. the sugar bin as re-
ported to the Senate by the finance commit
tee is not the bill as IL came from the
House. 1t provides for an ad valorem duty
only differs from the present law in that
It strikes out the differential in favor OF
refined sugars. 1T cannot be pleaded that
the passage of such a bill will imperil the
revenues. and there can be no legitimate
excuse for opposing 1t except a desire TO
protect and defend the trust. L want to
see il the Republican Senators will put
themselves in that attitude after the
charges that nave been made against the
Democrats in tina connection. For this
reason. as well as others. I think the pop
gun bills will be pressed in the Senate
during the short session. and / hope we
may have the test of a vote on them"

Nicaragua Canal Bills.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The action Of
quito territory has aroused some inquiry
relative to the status of the Nicaragua ca
nal bill In Congress, and as to the pros
poets to it's favorable consideration during
the approaching session. Bills were intro
duced during the last session, both in the
Senate and House, and were quite similar
In essential features, both providing for an
issue of $40, 600, 900 worth of bonds, the pay
ment of which is to be assured by the
government. Both bills have been reported
from committee, each to its respective
house. and each by it's author. but neither
hands of the Senate or the House. None
Of the especial champions of the bills is at
present in the city, but it is generally I'M
derstood that there will be an effort to Sc
cure consideration during this session. The
friends of the measure appreciate that there
houses, but they think that some of the
opposition which developed a few years
since will not appear when the bills shall
again be brought to the attention OF Con-
gress. General Catchings was to-day asked
what he thought of the prospect of the
bills. He said: THE House has not yet
had opportunity to materially consider this
cana question and has not made up its
mind on it,. 1t is too big a problem for a
session as short as that which Is approach
ing, consequently / do not believe that we
shall solve the canal problem this winter"
Senator Morgan, in his report, quotes fig
ures giving $S7, 799, SO as the outside cost of
the canal, and he says that the promoters
Of the enterprise have expended S,099,97 OF
their own money upon it.
