AN EXTRAORDINARY REPORT.

When the California Congressional dele
CATION were inspecting the Alviso Channel
the other day Senator White made the
declaration that Congress would hardly
make an appropriation at the coming ses-
sion against the recommendation of the
engineers who had reported that the chan
mel was in good enough condition for the
amount of commerce at the time the sur
vey was made. This is tantamount to
saying that by reason of the absence of
telegraph line to the moon we receive no
news from the inhabitants of our satellite.
If Senator White was perfectly correct
in reporting this recommendation of the
engineers he has given cause for their dis
missal from the service for Incompetence.
Had they been sufficiently intelligent they
would have reported that the small amount
of traffic passing through the channel was
due TO the inadequacy of the channel for
traffic, and that the putting of it in proper
condition would develop large ira ffic and
multiply the population, industries and
prosperity of the Santa Clara Valley.
AS tits, we shall have to wait until an
appropriation is made for a new survey and
an intelligent report. 1t is hoped that
competent engineers viii be given the
task next time and that they will have the
wisdom 20 understand the far-reaching
problems involved. If so they will report
favorably on an appropriation for the
widening and deepening of the channel.
The letting in of coastwise steamers would
create such revolution in the Santa Clara
Valley as has never been seen in California.
Tortuous and shallow as the channel is at
present it has carried such weight with the
Southern Pacific Company as to have
forced grain rates from 81 80 to 81 20 ton,
and is now saving San Jose alone $1,000
year in freights.
The California members of Congress will
no doubt use all their influence to secure
the preliminary appropriation, but in view
of the very important interests at stake
they will be expected to use extraordinary
exertions.

Mr.. Spurgeon was never ordained. He began
and ended his remarkable career as a lay
preacher.
John G. Woolley is prominently mentioned
as the probable candidate of the Prohibition
party for President in 1896.
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, our ambassador at
London, has just received one of the highest
literary distinctions in being asked to deliver
the annual address before the Edinburgh Philo-
sophical Society next November. Among those
who have made the address in previous years
are the Right Hon. John Morley, late Chief
Secretary for Ireland, and the Right Hon. A. J.
Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury.
Ira D. Sankey, the evangelist singer, is at
work writing history OF the Gospel Hymns.
The Gospel Hymns have made an epoch in the
religious history of the age, and no one more
competent than Mr.. Sankey could be found to
tell the story of their origin and growth. If he
and Mr.. Moody had retained for themselves
the royalties on these hymns they would be
rich men to-day. But they have devoted their
income from these hymns 10 further evangelis-
tic work.
The gun of Daniel Boone has been taken to
Charleston W. Va, and it is said to be still
capable of good execution. Its stock and barrel
are five feet long, and 1t carries an ounce ball.
1t is hintlock, of course. This gun has been in
the family of Nathan Boone Van Bibber, back
in the wilds of Nicholas County. Matthias Hce
Van Bibber received the gun from his friend
Boone and he carried it at the battle of Point
Pleasant in IVA and throughout the war of
1872. The original powder horn and bullet
molds are with the gun. Matthias Van Bibber
left these relics to Captain c. R. Van Bibber,
who left them to his son, Nathan Boone Van
Bibber, the present owner.
Bishop John H. Vincent desires to raise
$25, 900 with which to erect building at
Chautauqua, which may be known as the Hall
of Christ. He proposes to have Its architecture,
its decorations and its uses worthy "of Him
who is the center of our civilization, the source
of the truth which, as Christian people, we
hold, and the ground of our hope for all that
is best in time and eternity" In 1t he hopes
to have an audienee-room which will seat 500
persons where the life OF Christ can be studied
a library, containing naught but lives of
Christ; and gallery for paintings and engrav-
ings of scenes In the life of Christ. He has
$4,000 already pledged.
