BRANDY FOR GERMANY.
A NEW MARKET FOR CALIFORNIA
PRODUCTS.
The Largest Shipment of Spirits Ever
Made From tho United States
Sent Direct to the
FathsrlRnd.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-The Ger
man bark ]. @. Pfuger left here today
with the largest shipment OF brandy
ever made from any port in the United
States. The shipment consisted of 1885,
Asa gallons of California brandy in bar
rels, and estimated at the Wholesale
value of $9l,997. 1t is expected that the
retail price will be three times that
amount. The cargo also included %
barrels of selected Reisling and 200 bar
rels of red wine. As the Reisling is in
tended to compete with Hooks and other
white wines produced by the vineyards
thanking the Rhine, there is a great deal
of comment among wine men here. as
well Rs discussion and speculation. One
hundred and five barrels OF port wine
are also in the cargo to compete with
the ports of Spain and Portugal. The
brandy expectation marks the rapid
growth of the established foreign les
pecially Germany market for the Cali
fornis product. This wine shipment
marks an entry into an important f1r-
eign market. 1t is worthy OF special
mention that 400 barrels of the brandy
go to the German army for use in
hospital service, the German army hav-
ing used California brandy almost ex-
clusively for two years. In striking
contrast is the practice of the United
States army hospital service, which finds
California brandy not good enough, and

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.


Several Amend M ents to the sundry Civil
Bill Adopted.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The house
today began consideration of the bill
making appropriations for suno civil
expenses OF the government. Only three
amendments of Importance were
adopted: One sppropristing $4S. 800 for
lighting Hay lake channel, $4,000 for a
public building at Buffalo, 100000 for
repairing the postoffice at New York.
The only other amendment of i'm
portance was one made by Morse (Rep.
OF Massachusetts, to cut off the sppro.
priation for the interstate commerce
commission. The manner in which a
portion of the appropriation for counsel
fees is worded, led to spirited debate
in which Cannon of Illinois broadly
intimated that this appropriation had
been placed under the direction of the
commission instead OF the department
of justice, as heretofore, b9cause
OF the criticisms against the attorney
general that he was in sympathy with
corporations. The amendment was
finally defeatad by Hsinss OF New York,
who raised the question of no quorum.
Resolutions calling for information
from the secretary of the navy regarding
the troubles with Carnegie, Phipps q
Co. on armor plate were passed, and at
5 10 p. m. the house adjourned.

Its Abrogation VIII BE Met With splr-
tied Opposition.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Indications
point to spirited debate in the senate
over the clause in the senate tariff bill
inserted by the finance committee pro-
viding for the abrogation of the Hawa-
iian reciprocity treaty of 1875. The sub
ject is already beginning to attract
attention on both sides of thu chamber.
A number of senators on the Democrat
ic side will object to the clause, and it
is believed the Republicans are almost
solid in their opposition. Already OBJ.
lection is heard, not only because the
Termination OF the treaty would deprive
this country of valuable prerogasives in
the islands, but because the action con-
templated would be serious blow to
the sugar planters of the islands, whose
business, it is contended, is dependent
absolutely upon maintaining free COM
merclal intercourse with the United
States. The clause was inserted as a
concession to the sugar interests Of this
country, whose friends in the senate will
exerte their influence to have it re-
tanned.

BY the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The proceed
ings in the senate today were uninter-
esting. The discussion of the seignior-
age bill was taken up. Senators Stewart
and Lindsay spoke in its favor; Dolph
spoke in opposition, holding that its
passage would destroy the existing
equality between gold and silver. Stew
ART delivered silver spssoh along the
line OF his well known theories. Lind
say denied the assertions by Sherman
that the bill permitted the Issue OF
paper money without security. When
ne took his seat. Dolph and
Mills jumped up. the latter to
ask for an executive session. Dolph,
however, was recognized, and as he
was primed for a speech and had been
waiting since yesterday for an opening,
he declined to yield for motion to go
into executive session. Dolph thought
those who were urging the passage OF
the bill were doing so under false inter
pretationa. The bill was q reckless
proposition to increase the coinage of
standard silver dollars, or OF silver GER
tihcates, without an adequate provision
for their redemption, or to maintain
their equality with gold. The bill was in
direct conflict with the declaration con-
gress made when the purchasing clause
OF the Sherman law was repealed, that
1t was the policy OF the government to
maintain the parity OF gold and silver.
Dolph alluded to q work which he
wanted printed in the record. Harris
OF Tennessee objected to any book going
in the record. Dolph said the work was
only 8 newspaper clipping and Harris
objected to that. Finally Doiph got his
way and had just begun to read the clip
