Pilot Chnrt for July.

The pilot chart for July of the North Pa
cific ocean says that trade winds will extend
farther north than the previous year. Fog
and heavy mist WITH prevail along the
American coast. Vessels bound for the
American coast may expect heavy rain
squalls in passing through the region of the
doldrums. Typhcons may be expected in
the China sea.
An interesting feature Of the chart is a
table of ocean distances, in which it is
shown that the route to Yokohama, from
the western terminus of the proposed Mic
aragua canal is shorter by way of San
Francisco than by Honolulu.

He Was FOrty-Nincr and Brother
of Gen. Denver,

The friends of Col. A. St. Clair Denver

west. He was a forty-niner and attained
several positions of honor and distinction in
California, serving in the state senate and
as clerk of court for several years. He
had been a resident of Washington for
fourteen years past and had been engaged
in the practice of the law in the firm of

sensational than the formal confrma-

was provided for by resolution Monday
evening. there being six members from
the house and three from the senate.
The house committee consists of Rep

majority, and it is entirely within the

MORE HOPE FOR CURRENCY.
Senators Talk Favorabiy OF a
Compromise.

WAsHINGTON Jan. s. There has
been more financial talk about the SEN
ate today than at any time during the
session. 1t has been stirred up a great
deal by The recent publication in the
newspapers of various schems Of cur
rencv reform ana Tie near approach OF
a vote in the house on the pending bill.
Senators who have predicted rather
freely heretofore that there would be

do not think there Is any probability or

conditions may arise which will bring
men OF very diverse views together on

tage, purely patriotic in its nature,
might be enacted. do not think this

Most enphaucally. The condition
of affairs though may induce the senate
to do something, may induce the house
to accept something that will tide the

Senator Jones said this feeling was
shared by many other senators.

The legislature formally organized
this afternoon. and this evening the
grand inaugural bail took place at the
Hotel Locke. Fully 200 guests made a
brilliant spectacle. eniiYened by more
than usually beautiful costumes, by
scores of pretty faces and the gold
lace of the staff officers. Special
trains from the East brought a
large cOncourse, and the city is crowded.
The P0pulistS today held caucus TO
decide on a candidate for United
States senator. There were 16 present.
and the vote stood Harden s. Anderson
8, McGee 3. Buchanan l. Kelly l. The
caucus decided TO scatter its votes on
the 22d between four of their state lead
ers. The Republicans will cast every
vote for Petugrew, and could get half
dozen PoDulist votes, but are discOur-
aging the latter as being poor politics.
The lieutenant governor will announce
the senate committees Friday, and the
speaker the house committees, prOba-
bly, tomorrow. The latter had selected
Leach, of Bon Homme. as chairman of

satisfactory TO the railroads. but the

road laws objected. and Dick Oakes, OF
Hot Springs, was substituted.
Gov. Sheldon delivered his annual
message today to the legislature. He
began with discussion Of the tax O ues-
ton. He closed with the following:
Il feel that 1 have a right to congrat-
ulate you, the state and myself that you
are so largely of the true political faith.
The time was when to be a Republican
was to be a friend and supporter of
good government. Let it not be said
that that time has passed Let the du~
ties of this session of the legislature be
so faithfully performed as to give assur-
ance to the people that no mistake was
made in your selection"
