that he was unable to mention one

People who rail at what they think
were good measures and not passed,
might perhaps modify their idea OF
them if they were told that some of
these very excellent measures were
laid aside because of flaws in the con-
struction of the bill, or faulty repeal

contained constructions so nearly
bordering on the unconstitutional,
that the wiser heads deemed it unsafe
to pass them.

instructions to the Admiral of the
Pacific Station.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I'm the execu-
ton of his policy of keeping our cruisers
in motion and away from home ports.
Secretary Herbert has instructed Ad-
niral Beardslee, commanding the Pa
citic station, to cause the ships attached
to that station now at Mare Island and
ready for service to go to sea. The exact
cruise of each vessel has not been speci-
fed, and they will probably be lett for
the determination OF the Admiral, who
has been instructed, however, to see to it
that the vessels are not for a great
length of time beyond reach of orders
from the department. Doubtless the
Monterey and Olympia will be ordered
to cruise from one to another of our own
ports, because the first named is unable
TO carry coal for an extended cruise and
the latter, just about to be commissioned,
being untried, should be near navy
yard in case any defect is developed.
Aside from these, there will be available
for cruising, in the course OF few weeks
the Philadelphia, Boston, Marion, Mo-
hican, Adams, Alert anG ThetIs. 1t is
highly probable Admiral Beardslee will
order one OF the ships, perhaps the
Philadelphia, to run over to Hawaii on a
snort cruise, but the intentions of the
Navy Department have not been dis
closed.

sEASIDE's NATURAL GAS
The Monterey ''New Era'' youches
for the Discovery
From the Monterey New Era.


From the Monterey New Era
1t was not without perfect faith in the
absolute truthfulnesS of our valued Sea-
side correspondent that we took a trim
Wednesday afternoon to that interesting
suburb. But we were anxious to see for
ourselves in order that we might be able
to give the evidence of ocular demonstra-
ton to the verify OF the reported discov-
cry OF natural gas. Our first care was to
hunt up ID. j. Houghton and with him
walked down to the lake where three
rather crude but emlnently efficient gas
ometers had been constructed by DR..
Roberts, The first of these which we
reached had capacity of about two gall
lCns-of course gas is not measured bv
the gallon, but the receptacle would hold
about that much water-a small keg,
with the bottom taken out was sunk in
the mud and water at the edge of the lake
filled with water and can OF the capac-
lty mentioned placed in it bottom up. AS
the gas rose it raised the can, displacipp
the water with which it was filled, IL
had not been emptied for an hour or
two and was probably two-thirds full of
gas. a small rubber tube inserted in
the top OF this can carried the gas into
another can beside it, where q metal
burner was attached. We removed the
plug, applied light and a bright clear
flame shot up seven inches. Lighting
watched it for fifteen minutes, and then,
as 1t continued to burn steadily with un-
diminished brilliancy, we went to inspect
larger tank, made from barrel and
sunk in fifteen inches of water several
feet out in the lake. To this was attached
a regular gaspipe and burner. While in
the act Of lighting the gas at this 'ometer,
party of Hotel del Monte attaches, who
had read the news of the discovery in the
NeiC Era, came along and were amazed at
the quantity and brilliant burning uuali-
ties OF the gas. They had been somewha
dubious OF the truth of the report, but,
needless to say, went away fully con-
vinced that Seaside has veritable bo-
nanza. The gas is bubbling up through
the water all along the edge OF the lake.
and enough could be corraled by the
crude method above mentioned to supply
every house in Seaside. That there are
vast stores of gas in that neighborhood is
certain. and Mr.. Hughton informed us
that he would sink test we'll and en-
deavor to locate the reservoir. There are
also traces of petroleum visible along the
waters edge, and if this should be found
in paying quantities, as is highly prob
able, 1t will prove far more valuable even
than the natural gas.

Mammoth brought full particulars Of a
terrible double murder liz a small town
near that place. the victims being +. NJ.
Doll and his son, who ran store there.
Mrs. Doll was not wounded, although
badly powder burned.
The family were at supper on Friday
night when knock was heard at the
door, and Mrs. Doll answered. When
she opened the door two MeXicans shot
at her, and she fell to the iloor Mr.. Doll
jumped to his feet and was shot through
the heart These ran out the back door
and was brought down as he was cross
ing the road which passes the house.
When the murderers left the room to
kill her son, Mrs. Doll. who by this time
had regained consciousness, eXtinguished
the lights and concealed herself in the
brush near the building. The Mexicans
searched an hour for her, anu were scared
off by an approaching wagon. Mrs. Doll
walked several miles TO the nearest ranch
and gave the alarm.
The throaUs OF the murdered men were
cut from ear to ear, and their bodies
hacked horribly. At least fifty cowboys
are now on the trail OF the tiends that per-
petrated the atrOcity, and will make short
work OF the men ii they catch them.

story of mysterious drowning in the

a young man named Vetterlain was fish

a German named Miller came to the

my boy is in there"
Nett5rlain inquired further and was
told by Miller that his ten-year- old boy
went fishing two weeks ago and never re-
turned. We'll get him next spring, l
suppose" said Miller. Vetterlain later
cut new hole, when he discovered the
body of the missing boy in a few feet OF
water. The neighbors of Miller are
highly indignant toward him and his
wife over their indifference in making
efforts to ascertain the whereabouts oil
their son, aud some OF them believe that
more is known by them than they ex-
press.
