AN ADVERSE REPORT
Objections Urged Against Revlvlng the High.

Objections Urged Against Reviving the High.
est Military Title
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The letter of
chairman of the senate committee on mill
tary affairs, disappearing the bill to revive
the rank of flieutenant-generalo of the army,
was made public today. The bill was
known as intended to confer the rank on
Gen. Miles, now commanding the army,
though bis name is not mentioned in the
correspondence. Accompanying the letter
are extracts from the military records of
Scott, Grant, Sheridan, Sherman and
Schofeld, who became elieutenant-generals {;
also of Generals Miles, Ruger and Merritt,
who under the bill would be eligible to the
grade of lieutenant-general. The secre-
tary after acknowledging the receipt of the
bill, says that in no instance has an officer
attained this rank until he has successfully
commanded the whole or separate divi-
sion of the army in battle or in active cam
paign.
"The grade has been revived always with
the object of comforting complimentary
rank upon generals who had rendered em-
inent and distinguished services or those
most distinguished for courage, skill and
ability in war. Five besides Washington
we're thus honored, of whom four had re-
ceived the thanks of congress by name for
most distinguished military service, while
the fifth had commanded a separate army
during the late war, had attained the
highest regular grade thirty years before
his promotion, had held the chief com.
mand of the whole regular army for seven
years and had successfully discharged
most delicate and responsible civil duties"

ment was borrowing money to pay our

preparations and be content with caring
for the public service as II existed and not
enter upon any new expenditures while
this borrowing was going on.
Mr.. Sayers democrat of Texas). ex.
chairman of the appropriations committee,
replied at some length to Mr.. Cannon. In
a general way he endorsed the items of
the bill, but he declared it was a false pre-
tense on it's face. 1t purported to be bill
providing for the sundry civil expenses for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897.
whereas it was admitted that in all con-
tract work the appropriations did not ex-
tend beyond March 3. 1897. He re-
ferred TO the adroitpess with which
appropriations aggregating million dol
lars had been inserted in the deficiency
bill which properly belonged to this bill.
BY putting them on the deficiency bill
they were charged to the last congress.
He compared the appropriations made by
Democratic committees and those made
with Mr.. Cannon at the head of the COM
mittee on appropriations. and said the
latter was perhaps trying to make record
for a presidential campaign. After some
further remarks the bill was read for
amendment under the five minute rule.

MIR. Mccormick, Republican, New York,

The committee rose after completing
fifteen pages. of the bill, and at 5 ;O5 the
house adjourned.

STATE NOTES

The students of the University of Cali

a team of athletes east this spring to COM
pete with the big eastern colleges in their
games. The students are promised finan-
cial aid, and entertainments of various
kinds will be given in order to raise funds.
A Stockton farmer named A. Pipper and
his family OF four were thrown out of a
wagon last night and all but one seriously
injured. One, a child year old, struck on

his horses and they ran away.
The supreme court has rendered de-
cision in street assessment case of great
importance to contractors. The gist of the
opinion is that if a property owner agrees
to pay his assessment for street improve
ments and the assessment subsequently be
declared invalid on account of irregulari-
ties, the property owner is still liable on
the original agreement.
Constable Will Wolbert of Martinez last
night shot and killed an unknown negro,
who was attempting to escape from the

stop. but the man paid no attention, and
Wolbert fired, the bullet passing through

when ordered to stop made a motion as if
reaching for pistol, and not having
searched him he did not know whether tho
negro was armed or not.
