of intelligent observation.
There was once d boy who learned
how TO describe what he saw. Every
morning be was sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
window, and then afterward to repeat
to him all the things he saw at this one

them. At first the lad could remember
but few things that his eye may have
caught III the passing glance, but in time
he could remember almost everything
in a show window by merely seeing it

NAVAL CADET APPOINTMENTS
The Pension Commissioner Also
AdmOnished.
OBJECTION OF oBsTRUcTIoNIsTs.
Senators Who Did Not Relish Having
Their Pictures Published as
Among the "Conspirators."

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The House
adopted a resolution for the investigation
of Judge Jenkins Northern Pacific order
restraining the men from striking.
Strait 3D. of South Carolina rose to a
question of privilege on the ground that
his rights were invaded by the Secretary
of the Navy in appointing and charging to
his district naval cadet from another
State.
Cummings, chairman of the Naval Com
mitiee. stated that the committee agreed
with Strait and reported bill to prevent
such mistakes in the future. Strait asked
the adoption of the following resolution
Resolved. The appointment by the
Secretary of the Navy of naval cadet for
the Fifth District of South Carolina from
the Sixth Alabama District is without
authority of law and is void"
This was adopted, and the House then
went into committee OF the whole Tor
further con sideration of the pension appro-
priation bill. Sickles 3D. of New York
took the floor and had read an extract from
Cleveland's letter of acceptance OF the
Presidential nomination, saying the debt
due the defenders of the Union should be
ungrudgingly discharged. Upon that
pledge 10 the soldiers the Democratic party
stood and won political victory. lie was
not able 10 agree with the Commissioner
OF Pensions either in the transportation
law or the manner of treating legislation
of Congress. The Commissioner charac-
terized the act of December %. 1898, In
which Congress declared a pension a
vested right" as inaccurate and inap-
propriate" That was not decorOus way
Of treating an act of Congress, and his
superior officers should return it to him
with the admonition to treat Congress
with more respect. Republican applause
a short debate followed and the House
adjourned.

Senators Discuss Pictures and the
Bland Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-In the Senate
to-day Hill presented resolution setting
forth as there is an announced deficit OF
SIS, 600, 600 for the current fiscal year, and
as the Wilson bill proposes to discard that
much of the revenue from the tariff and
meet the double deficiency by internal
direct taxation, that the Finance Commit
tee be directed to frame amendments 20 the
bill. emitting the proposed new internal
taxes, and making instead provision for
sufficient revenue by tarifing other for
eign imports, and otherwise revising the
tariff without creating deficiency.
Harris Of Tennessee moved the second
reading of the Bland seigniorage bill. In
doing so he said no one was more earnest
advocate of silver coinage than he. There
is but one question which should take
precedence aud, without breach of conf
dence, he could state the Finance Commit
tee was on the verge of reporting the
tariff bill to the Senate. He therefore OBJ
iected 10 further proceedings on the seig-
niorage bill, and under that objection it
would have to 60 to the calendar.
Berry OF Arkansas rose to a question of
personal privilege. A New York paper
had printed his picture as one OF the list
of obstructionists to the Wilson bill. He
declared he was always friend of the bill.
McLaurin of Mississippi and Faulkner
of West Virginia, whose pictures were
among the obstructionists. also denied be-
ing foes to the bill. Their explanations
were greeted with laughter and applause.
Morgan OF Alabama caused amusement
by falling into line with the other ''conspir-
ators" mentioned in the newspaper arti-

said he, sis not gully as charged but was
not nearly as bad as he, and therefore am
not guilty." Laughter.]
Call of Louisiana said the statement
m ade in the newspaper was absolutely
false as far as he was concerned. and he
believed it was as far as the other Sen
atorS were con cerned.
The main interest of the day centered
about the discussion of the disposal of the
Bland BILL Stewart gave notice that
tomorrow he would move 10 make it the
business before the Senate until disposed
of. Teller also spoke on the same sub

BENlCIA'S NEW WHARF.
The Driving of the First Pile APP.

BENIcIA. March 6. - The people of
Benicia turned out in large numbers to-

in the approaches to the public wharf,
which the Board of Trustees. in CON-
pliance with the almost unanimous wish
Of the community. are endeavoring to

AS the hammer of Layden's piledriver
tell on the first pile Judge j. w. Jones. a
forty-niner and one of Benicia's oldest
citizens. broke bottle of champagne on
the pile. and in few, well-chosen words
voiced the sentiment of the large assem-
bly, by prophesyiDg that this event would
make a new era in the prosperity of
Benieia. and the crowd cheered him to the
echo. Benicia is determined to know
whether or not she has any rights in tn g

UPHELD BY THE COURT.
The Reorganization of the Sutro
Tunnel Company.


CARSON, New. March 6.-Iu the United
States Circuit Court yesterday Judge
Hawley decided in favor of the Sutro
Tunnel Company in the case of Symmes
VS.. the Sutro Tunnel Company. Every
point was decided in favor of the tunnel
company, and every act Of Adolph Sutro
was upheld by the court. Judge Hawley
said 1.-The contention Of Joseph Addons
seems to be that if Adolph Sutro had
charge of the reorganization of the Sdtro
Tunnel Company it was all wrong, but if
some one else had charge of the reorgan-
ization it was all right; and in law he
could not be permitted to wait TO see the
effect of the venture TO jump on the
winning side
There was no fraud, and the board of
trustees were advised at all times and
Sutro's bill of 100000 was not exorbitant
as talents of a superior order were re-
quireG. All the stockholders of the CON-
! any had been fully notified of every step
of Sntro. and could have protected their
shares had they desired"
The decision involved review of 5000
pages of testimony, 800 pages of briefs and
200 If pleadings. The Judge reviewed tn e
evidence in full and quoted numerous
authorities on every point of his decision.
He commenced the reading OF the case in
July, and the delivery of the opinion occu-
pied three and half hours.
