Perkins of California Defends
the Late Senator.
Representative Geary's State
ments Are Contradicted.
AGAINST FREE WOOL.
Senator Sherman Made a Vig0r-
GUS Speech Against It.

WASHINGTON, June 14-Mr. Perkins
of California, at the opening of the
senate yesterday, briefly defended the
memory of the late Leland Stanford
from the charge made by Represents
tive Geary, few days ago, that he
had founded the Stanford university
out of spirit of revenge and resent
ment because he had not been elected
a trustee of the university of CaIifor-
mia. When he was governor of Cali
fornia he (Mr. Perkins) had appointed
Mr.. Stanford a regent of the universe
ty, but, at the request Of the latter
the legislature did not confirm the
nomination. Governor Stoneman
also would have made Mr. Stanford
regent, but the honor was declined
The tariff de bate was then resumed,
the pending question being Mr.
Pefer's amendment to restore so per
cent of the duty on raw woods. Mr..
Sherman was recognized and made
vigorous speech against free wool and
Messrs- Dubois and Hansbrough fol-
lowed.
Mr.. Dubois followed Mr.. Sherman.
When he finished Mr.. Stewart of Ne
vada took the floor and made an
argument against free wool. Mr..
Hansbrough of North Dakota fol-
lowed, and he was succeeded by Mr..
ShOup, of Idaho, who also opposed
free wool as disastrous to one of the
chief industries of his state.
Mr.. Mitchell of Oregon also opposed
free wool. Mr.. Frye declared Aus
tralia could produce enough wool TO
supply the entire consumption of the
United States.
When this discussion ended, at $50,
Mr. Quay took his manuscript from
his desk and began the eighth INSTALL
ment of his famous speech began just
two months ago. After Mr.. Quay had
spoken twenty minutes the senate ad-

The Veteran Congressman siokles.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Congressman
Daniel E Sickles is as erect, despite his
so odd years of life and his crutches, as
he was when but lad of 90. He re-
ceives his visitors with manner that is
q mixture of bluff cordiality and the
courtesy of the old school. His hand
grasp is hearty, and one who is admit
ted at 80 Fifth avenue, New York, espe-
cially if he be veteran or a veteran 8
friend, is made to feel that the house
and it's belongings are as much his as
the generals during the visit. The
house is large, old fashioned and built
of red brick. Its doorway possesses an
amplitude that suggests true hospital
ity. 1t is a corner house, and ON the
side there is a little yard, almost the
only one in that part of the city. The
rooms on the ground floor are literally
crowded with pictures and relics and
statuettes and bric-a- brac.
1T is great comfort to me- - he said
the other day, ito meet the boys who
fought for the Union, especially if they
tell me they fought in my command.
They like to talk to me of their trials
and struggles and successes since the
war, and from the large number of well
to do men I have met who were pri-
Yates between 1860 and 1865 i have
concluded that those who fought in the
ranks had at least their share Of the
ability that was found in the Federal
army. Hardly week of my life passes
that am not accosted ON the street by
some man who tells me he fought under
me as private, and in almost all cases
be has the bearing and wears the clothes
of prosperity. 1t is true that we who
went TO the war lost several years prog
ress in the arts of peace, but the severe
discipline that we passed through more
than made up, think, for the time we
lost. N.

ARMAMENT OF THE COASTS.
The skill and industry Of our ordnance

overcome the mechanical obstacles which
heretofore delayed the armament of our
coasts aud thi- great national undertaking
upon which we have entered may now pro-
cerd as rapidly as congress shall determ-
inc. With supply OF finished guns of
large cnlibre already on hand to which ad-
ditions should now rapidly follow, the
wisdom OF providing Carriages aud imple-
ment> for their mount cannot be too
strongly urged.
The total eurollmenr of the militia of the
several states Is III, ,153 officers and enlist
ed men, an increase of 5,3i3 over the num-
L.
The reports OF militia inspection by reg
ular army officers show marked increase

a continuance OF the policy of affordiug
every practical encouragement possible to
this important auxiliary of our military
establishment.
