CONGRESSIONAL ABSENTEES.
Congress has done nothing since the
holiday recess, on account of the lack of
a quorum. While the country waits for
it's chief legislative body to provide some
plan by which the present depression in
business may be relieved, that body can
not hold enough Of its members together
to transact ordinary routine business.
Congressional absenteeism Is becoming
so much a matter of course that 1t is
hardly noticed. Sometime ago when the
presence of a quorum was absolutely re-
quired for the passage of an important
measure, the ~sergeant-at arms was d.
rected to scour the capital and by some
means raise a quorum. At last the afore-
| said sergeant discovered a whole batch
Of the missing Solons together-watch,
ing the races at the Bennings track. The
variety Of their excuses when brought
before the bar of the house would have
done credit to q M~unchausen.
This matter appears in holder relief
just now, on account of the urgent ne
cessity for some legislative act that will
relieve the people from the fear, the IN
easiness, the panic Of the past six months.
At a time when the situation excites
the deep thought and apprehension of
the wisest in the land, the members of
congress, the peoples paid servants, can
not spare enough of their valuable time
even to attend its sessions.
On Saturday the house adopted a res
olution ~instructing the sergeant-at arms
to arrest members without leave. In &C.
cordance with this resolution the speaker
issued warrants for the arrest Of the fol-
lowing members: Democrats-Messrs.
Allen, Barnes, Boatner, Brown, Bum, of
North Carolina Cadmus, Cobb, Cooper,
Cornish, Davey, Fielder, Fithian, Gels
sanhainer, Lockwood, Magner, McLau-
rim, Sickles, S%tockdale, Strait, Talbert'
Turpin, Woodward, of North Carolina.
Republicans-Messrs. Belden, Bingham,
Broderick, Childs, Gardner, Grout, Hell
ner, Lefevre, Loudenslager, Randall,
Ray, Scranton, Sherman, Weaver, White,
Woomer, and the Silverite Mr.. New
lands, Of Nevada.
The names of Messrs. Woodward and
Bum, of North Carolina, will be noted
in the list. Whether they have a rea-
sonable excuse or not, remains to be
seen.
The names of those absent without
leave should be published to the world,
so that the American people may black
their unfaithful servants and keep a
record of the men who have violated the
first principles Of public service.

WILL CHASE PAPER.
A Society Club to Practice Hurdle
jumping.

Hurdle-jumping is an exotic as far as San
Francisco is concerned. 1t has to be cultivated
fenderly on tan bark, but a club has just been
formed that may before long transplant it into
the open air, and make it flourish as II it were
an Indigenous production.
1his club is known as the San Francisco
riding Club. II will hold it's meetings every
Monday and Thursday afternoons, in the
armory on Pacific avenue, near Polk street,
which has been bedded with clay and tan
park. A preliminary meeting was held on
Monday afternoon, more, however that
the members might inspect the scene of their
future feats than tor the exhibition of much
horsemanship. The meeting on Thursday. how
ever, Will probably witness a good deal of
hurdle jumping, and some OF the society bellies
may BE- seen IN the saddle
The original promoters OF the club are Major
RathbOne. Henry j. Croeker and James Brett
Stokes. A number Of society people have
joined it in order to qualify themselves for
'cross-country riding. A steeplechase has not
YET been proposed, there are ofoxes in he COW
ertS OF San Mateo County. but the compare
lively mild and gentle sport of paper-chasing
will be INDUCED in by the members of the club,
as soon as they feel themselves capable OF bray
ing the snares and pitfalls of 'cross-country
ride.

The California Wine makers Corporation has
Issued circulars TO the wine trade giving a not-
ication that the winemakers of the State have
transferred and sold 10 that corporation all of
their '93 and '94 wines. Portion of ine wines

SPRECKELS OUT.
Resigns From the Vice
Presidency
OF the California Jockey Ciub-Three
FaYOriteS Managed to Finish
First-Quirt in Front.

An incident that created considerable stir In
turf circles yesterday was the resignation of
Adolph Spreckels from the Office of vice-presI-
dent of the California Jockey Club and the
election of Colonel Dan Burns 10 take his
place. The principal cause of Mr.. Spreckpls'
resignation is what he considers The unjust
treatment OF his horse Cadmus by the club
Handicapped. Cadmus was entered in the Cen
eral Arthur Cigar handicap which was run on
Saturday last, and for which he was asked to
carry 120 pounds against Senator Irby with
lib pounds, Charmion los, Lovdal 100, Gilead
ia and Polaski 81. Considering the very bad
condition OF the track. the weight was consid-
cred excessive and he was scratched.
On November "a he met both Lovdal and
Senator Irby in mile and sixteenth handi-
cap, on good track and finished third con-
ceding each nine pounds. Cadmus had been
very good performer, but many have always
held that handicappers held him in too high
esteem.
Undoubtedly his best performance was at the
State Fair at Sacramento on S ptember last,
when lie picked up 1913 pounds ana ran a mile

one second slow at the least.

from two open gas jets Mrs. Stevens was upon
the bed, but life was extinct, and all that could
be done was TO notify the Coroner.

anything concerning the dead woman. She
was a roomer In the house when Mrs. Dietrich
bought the good will of the place several days
