IN CONGRESS-.
Senate Receives Many Protests
Against the Wilson Bill.
David B. Hill Confident Of Defeating
Nomination Of Mr.. Peckham.
Hawaiian Affairs Discussed in Heuse and
Senar-,ncsme Tax Sill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The petitions
against the Wilson tariff bill presented in
the Senate this morning were very numer-
Gus and were from all parts of the country.
Some that were presented by Hoar of Mas
sachusetts were characterized by him AZ
series of agony against that unsanctiied
and aboninable menace"
A bill was introduced by Hoar giving
United States district judges the right, on
petition, and after hearing, to order the
restoration to the rolls of pensioner who
has been dropped, or whose pension has
been reduced.
A resolution was offered by Stewart
(Rep.) of Nevada, declaring it the st nse oI
the Senate that the secretary of the treas.
ury has no legal authority to issue and sell
bonds as proposed. The Senate, he said,
ought at least to express its opinion on the
subject; and he gave notice that he would
ask action on his resolution tomorrow
The Hawaiian resolutions were then taken
up and Teller (Rep.) of Colorado addressed
the Senate.
He said the provisional government wal
as much government as any other. After
recognizing the provisional government Of
Hawai-, the United States government, Tel
ler argued was precluded from raising any
question as to the mode by which it was or.
ganized. Nobody in this country believed
that the Hawaiian government was about to
De interfcred with. Public opinion was ad-
verse to the destruction of that government
There had not been an American secretary
of state for 10 years who had not left some
where in the public files the desire and hope
Of his government to bring the people of
the Hawaiian Islands into closer relations
with the United States.
Teller declared himself in favor of an
nexation of the Hawaiian islands, of the
annexation of Cuba, of the annexation of
Canada. He said he expected to see in a
few years the American flag floating from
the extreme north to the line of Mexico.
lie expected to see it floating over the
islands in the great gulf and in the West
Indian seas. He expected to see Canada
come into the United States by its own con-
sent.
lie did not mean that he wanted to take
IN inch Of territory from the people who
did not come in voluntarily, and did not be-
lieve anything should be taken by conquest.
The resolution having exhausted its right to
consideration, in the morning hour, was,
under the rules, placed on the calendar,
from which it can only be taken on mo-
tion and by a majority vote. Senate ad.
journed.

and some of the cuts are of such a nature
that washout does not come altoge Their in
the nature of surprise. The fact that
the rails spread and ditched nine cars and
two engines is of course TO be regretted,
and al. the more so as the unemployed
worfing az the psrK were large sufferers
by the mishap. They have been carried

free OF charge, but when the washout
stopped traffic they were compelled to take

The immense Slandslide at Park Hill
must have displaced fully 1000 tons of
materiaI, and the waters rushing down the
bills which are comprised in Clarendon
Heights must have formed veritable
cataract where they united and poured
with ever increasing volume down Haight
street. Considering that all distractions
that impeded their course were swept away,
jt is as singular as fortunate that no niury
was done to human life.
The various cable lines having stretches
of the lines undermined is one of the

HAIGHT-STREET SLIDE.

What will go down on the pages of San
Francisco history as the "Haight-street
landslide" occurred yesterday morning
about o'clock. and is worthy of note as
the largest slide that has ever taken place
in this city.
While the residents of Haight street, be-
tween Broderick and Scott, we're peace
fully sleeping in their beds. unmindful Of
the angry elements that were raging
around them. thousands of tons of sand
from the east side of Park Hill, just west
of the corner of Waller and Broderick
streets, gave away. and propelled by a
roaring Cataract, swept down TO BrOderick
and Haight streets, and on down Haight
street to Scott. At Scott street a greater
portion of it settled burying the Haight-
street cable tracks fully seven feet be-
meath its surface. In its course 1t swept
every thing that came before it,

THE RAILROADS.

All over the Southern Pacific system the
effects of toe heavy rains are apparent.
In the Siskiyou mountain region several
small washouts are reported, but nothing
of a serious nature bad occurred up to last
evening. The streams all along the lines
are very high and threatening. On the
Central overland route heavy snowstorm
prevails all through the mountainous
country and extends to Ogden.
On the North Pacific Coast road 1000
feet of track was washed out yesterday at
Green Gulch, near Tomales, and trains
are now run only as far as Merchants.
All the telegraph lines are down. and it is
impossible to secure information as to
whether any further damage was done or
not. The usual through train was aban-
dOned last night, but it is thought all dam
age will be repaired by tomorrow.
Passengers from Mill Valley coming
into the city yesterday had TO leave the
train at the first trestle this side of that
station, go back 20 the valley station and
drive down 10 Alto. The trestle was in
such a dangerous condition that they were
afraid 10 ride across it.
The San Francisco and North Pacific
also suffered. but TO less extent. A land
slide near Petaluma delayed the Incoming
train yesterday morning for a couple of
hours. A special train brought in the pas
sengers.
No news of damage on the Southern
overland has yet been received, but the
probabilities favor bad news ali around il
the rains continue much longer.

STORM NOTES.

The City Hall roof was not proof against
the storm yesterday. 1u many places
throughout the expensive building water
was dropping constantly. and some DAM
age was done to the School Superinten-
dents Office by water pouring in through a
hole ID the roof.
The San Francisco and San Mateo Elec-
trlc Company had good deal to trouble
them yesterday morning. The crossing of
Harrison and Fourteenth streets was COW
cred entirely by a mass of water at least
two and half feet deep, and until 1880
p. NJ. the cars were not run below Mission
street. The line was operated as usual
from San Mateo County 10 Eighteenth
street. at which point transfers were maze
to ears which ran on one track down to
Mission street.
Twelve cars of the unemployed return
ing home Friday evening from their work
by the dummy line OF the Market-street
system were stalled In mid-passage. The
rain had softened up the loose bed of sand
and spread The tracks. The intrain Of
twelve cars and two engines was caught
unawares and held fast. The large crowd
OF unemployed. whom the railroad CON-
pany mad been carrying over the line free
OF cost for some weeks, had to get out and
plod their weary, wet way homeward
afoot The trains were not lifted yester-
day, and the company did not expect to
baye them running until to-day.

fast in the sand that settled around it. and
not until the morning when it was dug out
could it be moved.
At the corner of Scott and Haight streets
an early morning bakery wagon was de-
livering bread. Before the driver had
time to move it out of the way it was
caught in the sand and buried about three
feet deep. The horse was dug oct and the
wagon left to stand until 10 o'clock yester-
dav when it was released and taken away.
Yards were filed. fences buried and
doorsteps hidden beneath the sand all
along Haight from Broderick to Scott.
Notwithstanding the loud roar Of the
sand and water, as il came down the hills
to its resting places, but few of the early
morning sieepers were distur bed in their
slumbers. Not until they had risen for the
day and made an attempt to open their
front doors were they made aware of
the narrow escape from death that they
had uncOnsciously had.
All day long Yesterday the Market-street
system of railways kert force of sew
enty-five men at work, in the drenching
rain, in vain attempt to get the street
clear. Although the men worked unceas-
ingy shoveling the sand from the tracks

AT SAUSALITO.

The heavy downpour occasioned several
serious casualties at Sausalito.
The residence Of E. G. BARTLETT was
greatly damaged by a landslide, and the
occupants Of the residence of Mrs E. Mills
had to make their escape from the building
at A. NJ. owing to the same damage The
house did not altogether collapse, but one
side was torn away and the rest rendered
unsafe.
Captain Thomas. the father-in-law of
Wakefield Baker, has a pretty home on
the crest of the bluff. The house was not
damaged, but some of the bluff was washed
down, doing much harm to the Belknap
real-esrate Office and the residence Of
Jacob Stannell below. The real-estats
office was pushed almost into the adjacent
street by the force of the slide.
The roads between Sausalito and San
Rafael were practically impossible yester-
day, and washout occurred on the Mill
Valley branch, compelling passengers To
walk mile and half.
The peculiarly elevated position of the
handsome residences of Sausalito made the
occupants somewhat nervous of the effects
of the unprecedented downpour

some such catastrophe as has occurred,
Superintendent Stein of the street railway
COMPANY at O'Clock ordered gang of
men to the corner of Waller and Broderick
streets, where a dam was built across
Broderick street to turn the flow down
Waller. The dam was made three feet
high and two feet thick, and served its
purpose until O'Clock in the morning
when the bank above gave away. and the
dam was carried down the street with the
balance of the debris.
Waller street terminates at the park
road. On the left-hand side. where the
two streets join, was a sand hill towering
above the street thirty feet. The grade on
the road from Waller street to the pin
nacle of the hill is probably forty feet
On the level plain on the top OF the hill
the LITTLE streams formed a reservoir in the
sand. Gradually it grew in proportions
until when it broke il contained a
large volume Of water. AS its size in
creased the overflow which formed
the running stream down the hill
carried along more and more of the reser-
voir banks. weakening them until, unable
to longer stand the pressure OF the water.
without any warning they gave way, CIV
ing freedom down the hill TO the entire
contents of the reservoir. Down the hill
the water tore, carrying the loose sand
from the grade in Its wake. When 1t
reached Waller street the increased in
cline turned it down there. Rounding the
corner of the hill, it undermined the sand.
and with splash the whole side of the
hill fell into the uu1ckening current and
was carried down the street.
At Broderick the lower grade OF the
street carried the greater bulk TO Haight
street. while no inconsiderable amount
continued on down Waller street to De-
visaderO, thence to Haight street to join
the bulk from which it parted at BTOder-
lex. Reunited, the whole swept its way to
Scott street, where, striking the level
plain. the sand settled to a depth of seven
feet. while over the bed it formed the

1t that threatened their mains. They
placed props on the side of the hill and
under their pipes to prevent the sand from
falling on the pipes and breaking them.
All day long in the pouring rain great
crowds from all parts of the city visited
the scene Of the slide. Mayor Ebert was
one of party from the City Hall that
tramped through the mud and water over
the hill where the water cODgregated and
broke, as we'll as along the line of its
course. He expressed great surprise that
the damage was as light as it was, and
could not understand how 1t happened
that the course was confined to the street

THE STORM KING ABROAD.

five days no less than twenty-five breaks
in the city sewers have been reported
All these mishaps are, generally speak
ing, inse parable from storm such as has
visited the city. The damage to property,
however, is not particularly grievous and
part of the silver lining to the disas-
trous cloud can be anticipated great good
to the country districts, bounteous har-
vest in due time and a revival of pros
perity in which city and country will share
alike
