The Holiday Recess.

WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-The time of
adjournment of Congress for the holidays
will apparently depend entirely upon the
House. \ majority of the members of
the Senate would prefer to have the re-
cess begin after the close of the Webster
Stark ceremonies tomorrow, but The
word received from the House is that
such proceeding will antagonize them,
and that the House Will probably not
consent TO an adjournment until Satur-
day. In this event it is probable that the
Senate will adjourn from tomorrow
till Saturday, and that the few Senators
who are left will adjourn over until
after the holidays in accordance with

dltlonally were bound to stakes and the Il

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-An interesting
session OF the House Committee on Labor
was held to-day, Chief Arthur of the

and Chief Clark of the brotherhood of
Railroad Conductors being heard on the
question of national arbitration of strikes.
Labor Commissioner Wrights bill for
a National Commission of Arbitration
was read, but as the measure is not yet III

served their opinion on this particular
bill until later. They presently repre-
sented themselves unqualidedly i'll favor
of federal arbitration. MIR. Arthur said
his organization would not even object
to compulsory arbitration.
Mr. Clark's views were along the same
line of general approval. The Chief
agreed also that the plan of the national
incorporation of labor organizations. the
individuals TO be subject to removal Ior
violence or lawlessness, was desirable, so
long as the individuals were not made

by which he received the smuggled drug
from ship upon which they came down

OAKLAND WATER FRONT.
An Important Matter Now Before the

An Important Matter Now Before the
L. :. Supreme Court.
WAsHINGTON, Dec. I9.-One of the
most important cases OF the year was
taken up in the United States Supreme
Court to-day. 1t involves the validity of
the title OF the Southern Pacific Company
to the water front Of Oakland, Cal.
The grant was originally made in 1852
to the town of Oakland, then a mere
hamlet, of large tract of land to enable
the town (Which was incorporated in the
same Act) to create a harbor and cou-
struct wharYes.
This grant was conveyed to Horace w.
Carpenter by the Trustees of the town
on his agreement to perform certain con-
ditions required of the town by the grant
ing Act OF the Legislature. Controversies
arose between Carpenter and the au-
thorities OF Oakland after its incorpora-
ton city in 1864.
The claims were all adjusted in 1868 un-
der authority of the Legislature conferred
on the City Council and Mayor for the
purpose. From Carpenter tie title now
attacked by the State of California was
transferred to the railroad pany. The
present suit is brought to quiet title.
The State of California is represented
by Attorney General Hart, and with
him are assistant counsel 1or the city of
Oakland and also John ). Miller of Chi
cagO, who was counsel for that city in the
Lake Front case, when he took from the
Illinois Central its supposed right to sub
merged lands constituting the water
front of Chicago in Lake Michigan. on
the side of the railroad were Senator
William Stewart of Nevada, j. Hubley
Ashton of Washington, j. X. Cowan and
Hugh l.. Bond, Jr., of Baltimore, and
Harvey ID. Bum of San Francisco.
The case will be opened by Attorney
General Hart of California. who viii con-
tend that by the principles laid down in
the Chicago lake front case the state of
California had not the power to grant the
submerged lands in the Bay OF San Fran
cisco, which are the subject of contention.
The most interesting feature of the case
is the Drotessed willingness of both sides
to be governed by the law in the lake
front case, which both assert to be di-
rectly in their favor. The case will doubt
less occupy the time of the court for the
remainder of the week. The propertv
involved is said TO be valued al $50, 900. 900.
The case was brought originally in the
Supreme Court, and has not been heard
in a lower court.
