A SUDDEN STORM
Cloud Burst in the fountains Sends Down
Torrent of Water

Pasadena, Feb 23-A small cloud
burst occurred in the mou ntains north of
this city today which brought down a
flood of water in the arroyo east of town
and taxed the carrying capacity of the
cutters on Raymond and Marengo ave-
nues to their fullest capacity. The storm
came up very suddenly from over the
mountains and lasted about half an hour
but in that time great deal of water
fell. Owing to the heavy grade and deep
washes for carrying off the water no
special damage was done. In this city the
water came down in torrents for a short
The shower was evidently local being,
however, near the mountains. The grain
and deciduous fruit crops in this section
are in splendid condition and the ranchers
are counting ON good returns.

oeFeNsEs IN A DEpLoRAsLe STATE
General Miles Points Ont our Helpless
G ,udition and Suggests "A Remedy

General Miles Points Ont our Helpless
Condition and Suggests Kennedy.
Washington. Dec. 2l.-General Miles
commanding the army. has given out a
statement by request in regard to the abil-
ity of the United States to defend herself
in case OF war.
He said: IF war should break out at
the present time. all we have in the south,
or in fact, anywhere else with a few ex-
ceptions. would be a lot of obsolete guns
on rotten carriages. which would fall
over before they could be of any service.
The country is In deplorable condition
for defense. There are only three mod
ern high-power guns in position in this
country. Two of these are at the entrance
to New York harbor and the third Is at
San Francisco.
IF congress would make liberal appro-
priations, the coasts can be placed in con-
dition for defense in two years time.
The work would cost in the neig hborhood
of $S0,00o,000 1t would take about year
to manufacture the tools necessary for
the construction of guns and then another
year for the manufacture of the guns
themselves.
I'm regard to land forces, no difficulty
would be experienced in getting 100000
men in month. The small army we
have would be in the nature of a nucleus
for other troops. What we need. however.
is not men but coast Notifications After
we get the Notifications we could get
the men to operate the guns.
THE enemy could place his ships off our
coast and fire shells into our cities. This
would drive millions Of people from their
homes and cause untold distress. The
wealth Of 300 years is stored in Boston.
New York and other great cities and their
loss would be very severe.

days at the most is planned. The bill
will be laid before the democratic
members of the committee Thursday
morning and will be introduced in the
house that day with a rule to limit
debate and bringing vote not later
than Friday night. On this point the
remark is attributed to Speaker Reed:
This house is not a debating school,"
and arguments for longer debate will
meet with the response that the bills
are emergency bills which should be
passed at once II at all.
The democrats of the house will OPP
pose unanimously, as far as can be as
certained. the revenue bill which the
republicans will bring in on Thursday.
Both the silver and anti-silver demo-
Gratis assert that there is no necessity
for an increase in the revenues, as they
claim that the available cash in the
treasury over and above the gold re-
serve Is amply sufficient to meet a de-
ficiency that may occur for the next
two years, when they expect the re-
ceipts from the present tariff law to
equal or to exceed the expenditures.
UP to this point the democrats seem to
agree. AS to an authorization for coin
bonds they differ. The gold men would
be willing to vote for bonds, prefer
ably gold bonds, to fortify the reserve
but in their opinion no bond will meet
the situation. The trouble, they de-
clare, Is the existence OF greenbacks
which can be used to pump gold out Of
of the treasury and unless their redemp-
ton and retirement is provided for,
the gold purchased with bonds would
simply be to increase the interest-bear-
ing debt without moving the active
agent for saving the reserve. 1t is not
improbable that some of the demo-
Gratis will offer as a substitute a COM
prehensive plan for the retirement Of
greenbacks, including authorization for
an issue of $500, 900, 900 in bonds for that
purpose and the reduction of the tax
on national bank circulation and the in
crease of currency to be issued on ue-
posits of bonds from 80 to 100 per cent.
This latter, they say, would increase
the national banking system and pre-
vent contraction of the currency.
The silver democrats are opposed to
bonds to increase the gold reserve and
will resist the measures presented by
the republicans ON that and tariff
grounds. The silver democrats of the
house, after discussing the situation,
have about decided to offer as an
amendment or substitute for the bill
a joint resolution making 1t mandatory
on the secretary of the treasury to re-
deem greenbacks and treasury notes in
silver when the gold reserve falls be-
low a certain point.
Mr.. Bailey Of Texas will probably Of
fer the resolution.

SUPPORT OF THE PREMIER
Great Britain Backs Him as Far as iier
Contention in Venezuela Is
Concerned.

London, Dec. 2.-No excitement has
over the Venezuelan complications, al
though their effect has been felt on the
stock exchange The cabinet ministers
are all enjoying the Christmas holidays
in the country and outside OF the news
papers there is nothing to indicate that
war is apprehended.
A striking fact is that without a single
exception the whole country stands az
solidly behind the Marquis of Salisbury as
the United States is understood to stand
soldily behind President Cleveland. But 1t
should be added that it has been remarked
in some quarters that the Marquis OF
Salisbury might very well have omitted
the passage in his reply to the note Of
Secretary Olney which mas been looked
up as questioning Olnsy's Interpretation
of the principles OF the Monroe doctrine.
Public opinion here. In spite Of any state
ments to the contrary, certainly supports
the general idea of the Monroe doctrine.
1t is not the doctrine itself whicn Is re-
scented, but the claim Is made that II does
not apply to the Venezuelan dispute.
This seems to be the whole OF the Brit
ish contention. 1t is confidently expected
that an amicable arrangement will be
arrived at which will avert further finan-
cial troubles, to say nothing Of disas-
trous war between the two greatest Eng
disappearing nations OF the earth.
Fears are expressed that the war scare
will materially assist agitation for pro-
lection against American food imports.
although the Statist today gives utterance
to grave warning TO the public not to be
frightened into supporting import duties
on wheat.

oppose the Monroe Doctrine for Selfish
Reasons only.
Berlin, L &c. 31.-President Clsvsland's
message to congress on the boundary dis
pute dropped like thunderbolt upon Ger
many, and Immediately overshadowed all
questions CT domestic politics and the Ar
menian imbroglio. The almost general
condemnation of the action of President
Cleveland upon the part of the German
press is due less to love for England than
to the conviction that the interests OF
Germany are also threatened.
The latest news from America Is regard
ed as promising for the refusal of business
men to indorse Cleveland's attitude, and
all eyes are directed toward the Develop
ments of financial crisis.
Next to President Cleveland, Emperor
Williams visit to Prince Bismarck at
Freidsrlchruhe has been the topic OF the
week. His majesty's call upon the sx-
chancellor appears to have been of prime
political Importance, for the news leaked
out in the early part of the week that
the emperor sought the advice of Prince
Bismarck on the eastern and socialist
questions.
II is reported that Prince Bismarck ad-
Wsed the emperor to introduce into the
reichstag as soon as possible a new anti
socialist bill modelled on the bill Of 1878,
buy containing more stringent provisions.
In consequence of the number of recent
indiscretions in betraying military secret
orders and arrangements to socialists, an
imperial mandate has been issued to the
generals commanding the different corps
forbidding all soldiers under severe penal
ties to divulge any matters pertaining TO
army communications. They are especial
ly forbidden to furnish any information
to the newspapers.
Everybody is preparing for Christmas.
The imperial family will pass II in the
same manner as last year.

a SCENE OF UNUSUAL SADNESS
Sixteen OF the Victims OF Fridays Mine
Disaster Buried.

Sixteen OF the Victims OF Fridays Mine
Disaster Buried.
Chattanooga, Tenn. Dec 22.-The sad
dest scenes ever witnessed in this state
were enacted in the little mining city of
Dayton today. In 16 households the
cries of despairing widows and helpless
orphans, the heartbroken grief of moth
ers, relatives and friends disturbed the
peaceful quiet of the Sabbath as 16
mangled corpses, victims Of Fridays
mining disaster, Of husbands, fathers,
brothers and kinsmen, were carried to
their final resting places In the little
cemetery adjoining the town.
The work Of rescuing the six men
whose bodies are sui buried beneath
the debris of the cavern of slate and
earth was stopped last night by the ac-
emulation Of gas, but it is expected the
rescuers will be able to resume work to-
night.
The company has decided that here
after open lamps will not be allowed in
the mines and all blasts will be made by
fire boss. who will be assigned to the
men, who will work in sections.

House Rontire.

Washington, Dec. 23-It being gener-
orally understood that the ways and
means committee would not be pre-
pared to report it's bill for relief of the
treasury situation before tomorrow or
Thursday, the attendance in the house
today was comparatively small. The
speaker announced that by inadvert-
ence Saturday the name of Mr.. Tracey,
republican, of Missouri, had been omit
ted from the committee on naval at
fairs. After a little argument and OBJ
lection from Mr.. Crisp in behalf of the
minority chairman of the three election
committees in referring election con-
tests, the speaked ended the matter by
making the concession and referring
the contests one to each committee in
regular order.
Mr.. Dingley, chairman of the ways
and means committee, said the commit
tee met this morning and unanimously
decided, in view of the presidents mes
sage, it was not appropriate for the
house to adjourn until proper response
had been made. ION Thursday" he
concluded, 1--WE hope the house will
make a response to the urgent request
of the president and take some action
which will relieve the situation in which
the country finds itself" (Applause)

Formal Steps Toward Preparation of a
revenue Gil
Washington, Dec. 29.-The ways and
means committee of the house met at II
o'clock today to take formal steps to-
ward the preparation of a revenue bill.
Thirteen members were present. The
discussion did not reach the question of
the plan which would be brought in, but
was confined to the policy of having
congress remain in session, which, as
outlined by these dispatches, has al
ready been determined upon by the re
publican leaders. BY way of a reply
to President Cleveland's request that
congress should not adjourn a resolu-
ton was presented by Mr.. Payne of
New York. 1t declared it was the sense
of the committee that ii was inexpedi-
ent for the two houses to adjourn for
the holiday recess and further consid-
Grafton of the motion for holiday ad-
journment should be postponed for the
present. Mr.. Dinsley was authorized
to make the statement to the house
The committee was assured by Mr..
Dingley that a bill could be brought
before the house within a very short
time. Although this was not mentioned
in the meeting. it is understood to be
the program of the leaders to present a
bill to the full committee the day before
Christmas and perhaps bring it before
the house the same day. For this pur-
pose the republican members of the
committee will go into conference at
once. The bill will combine a tariff
advance for a revenue and bond bill
along the lines of the one introduced by
Mr.. Reed in the last congress.
Mr.. Dingley announced in the house
that the bill would be ready Thursday

1t win Depend Largely on the Turn OF
Affairs In thu House.
Washington, Dec. 22.-The course of
the senate this week will depend largely,
If not entirely, upon the turn which af-
fairs shall take in the house. In the
event the house should adjourn over the
holidays, the senate will be ready to
acquiesce, as a majority of the senators
are still unquestionably favorable to the
usual holiday recess.
The probability points strongly to the
absence of a quorum the greater part
of the week in case no recess is taken.
The calendar contains only one bill of
general Importance. Consequently there
is little prospect of actual legislation in
any event. If the house should send over
a financial or revenue bill, there would
be no possibility of receiving a report
upon it for some time, but the measure
might afford subJect-matter for infor-
NAL speeches.
