PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
River and HarbOr Bill Considered in
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Among the
dozen or more bills which were passed
by the Senate to-day because they were
unobjected to was one permitting the
erection in Washington of monument
in honor of Samuel Hahnemann, the
founder of the medical school of home
opathy, and appropriating S14,OOO to
Gefray the cost of the foundation. The
only restriction imposed in the bill is
that the monument is not TO be placed
in the Capitol grounds.
The consideration of the river and
harbor bill was concluded with the eX-
ception of one amendment involving the
bitterly contested question of the loca-
ton of a deep-water harbor in South
ern California The Committee on
Commerce reported an amendment to
the bill providing for a breakwater and
outer harbor at Santa Monica, while
the two Senators from California and
McLachlan, the Representative from
the Los Angeles district, opposed that
location and favored the selection of
San Pedro, having on their side of the
question the representatives from the
two boards of army engineers specially
sent out to examine the matter.
Senator White of California ad-
dressed the Senate in opposition to the
committee amendment, and had not
finished his argument when the Senate
at 5:15 p. M, adjourned until to-mor-
row.
IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May S.-After many
unsuccessful attempts members of the
House to-day voted, 130 to IS, to place
Al ifxrxx h q
ate in respect of the matter of providing
themselves with clerks the year round,
instead of for the session of Congress
only 1t was not until 1898 that tie
House went even so far as that.
To-day's action was preceded by an
animated debate of an hour or more, in
which a dozen members took part. The
resolution was warmly advocated by
Hartman and Henderson (Rep) OF
Iowa.
Before being heard the resolution was
amended so as to exclude Representa-
tives who are Chairmen or committees
having the usual clerks.
Among the bills passed during the
session were the following: To quiet
title of certain bona fide purchasers Of
public lands; to quiet titles to lands in
Aredondo grant, Columbia county,
Georgia; authorizing the construction
Of life-saving stations at Point Bonita
California, and Port Huron, Michigan;
appropriating $4,000 to enable the
President to deport about sou Indians
in Montana to the border and deliver
them to the Canadian authorities; also
twenty-four private pension bills.
At 4:20 o'clock the House took re-
cess until 8 o'clock, the evening session
to be for the consideration OF private
pension bills. AT the close of that the
House adjourned until Monday

WONDERS OF YOSEMITE.
Splendidly Portrayed by the Local
Camera Club

The second of the Camera Clubs
series of exhibitions brought out we'll
filled house at the Congregational
Church last night.
The subject was Yosemite Valley and
the big trees, the slides being the work
Of the California Camera Club of San
Francisco, which were kindly lent to
the Sacramento Club for this exhibit
tion.
E. Myron Wolfe acted as delineator
and in his usual happy manner led the
audience through this, one of the most
picturesque spots of the world.
To those who had never seen the won
ders of Yosemite these pictures were q
revelation, while to those who had
visited the grand and beautiful spots
shown on the camera they brought back
fond remembranceS.
Technically, the slides were perfect,
each being more beautiful than the pre-
ceding one. The evening effects at the
finale were especially fine.
AS an interlude, a either trio, consist
ing Of Messrs. Stever, Gates and Eizler,
gave two selections, receiving a hearty
encore.

CLAY PIGEON TOURNAMENT.
Fred Gilbert Wins the Title of Cham
piOn of America.

GUTENBERG IN. j., May Sired
Gilbert of Spirit Lake, Iowa, won the
title of champion target shot of Amer
lea at the initial clay pigeon champion
ship tournament which was concluded
here this afternoon Gilbert broke 266
out of a possible 300 flying" targets,
defeating E. D. Fulford of Utica, N. Y,
and J. A. r. Elliott of Kansas City, who
tied for second place with 26l breaks
each. Rollo Heikes of Dayton, O., fin
ished fourth with a total of 2oo broken.
The final struggle was very close,
with two events to decide the winner.
The score read: Fulford 22S, Gilbert
227, Elliott 225 and Heikes pa. The
Kansas City man had the worst luck
in the semi-final shoot, and only scored
is out of possible %. Gilbert broke
%. Heikes 81 and. Fulford 20 The score
was then: Gilbert 249, Fulford. 24S,
Heikes 245 and Elliott 243.
For the first few pairs in the deciding
event the issue was still in doubt. Eli
oft was shooting doubles in great form,
but his low score in the expert rule left
him practically out of the race. Gill
bert quickly drew away from Fulford
and Heikes, killing II pairs to
their 13, and won the championship
amidst great applause.
Captain A. w. Money, one of the pro-
moters of the tournament, made short
speech. and presented Gilbert with the
championship cup. The trophy is a
handsome silver cup valued at $500, and
will be held subject to challenge at due
| notice.
The winner is well-known live-bird
shot in the West. He won the Dupont
cup at the big shoot at Baltimore last
October.
In addition to the title and trophy,
Gilbert won about $500 at the tourna-
ment, and had the best general average
of 643 on the four days shoot. Fulford' S
average of 636 was second best, and
Elliott came next with GA. Heikes was
close on, with a general average of 600

PETITION DISMISSED.
1t Was Directed Against the State
SurveyOr-GeneraI.

Judge Catlin yesterday dismissed the
petition of Charles J. Cody for a writ of
mandate to compel State Surveyor Cen
eral Wright to receive an application
to purchase a section of land in lieu of
another section which had been lost
TO the State by reason of it's having
been returned by the United States Sur
veyorGeneral as mineral land. The
Surveyor General refused to grant the
application on the ground that the State
lad sold the basis of the lieu section
Judge Catlin holds that the State did
rot lose the basis, but had really re-
ceived the benefit of it, and has no right
to realize twice from the same land

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Royle troupe had a somewhat
better house last night at the Metro
politan Theater, when Mr.. Royle's lat
est play was presented, entitled Can
tain Impudence." 1t is claimed to be
his best work. 1t is certainly his most
romantic, but we cannot hold it to be
his best. Friends" is far and aWav
nearer to the human heart. 1t is the
essence of pure comedy. There is less
of death and threat of it in the play.
There is no inconsolable woe related
to it. 1t has just enough shadow and
cloud about it to make its joyous sun
shine the more enjoyable. But Cap
tain Impudence" is more romantic 1t
has the accompaniment of the rattle Of
arms. Men are killed, women poisoned.
and brave officers are taken out to be
shot; unrequited love buries itself in
convent life, and the shadows are SO
much more frequent than the smiles
that it must rank rather as a melo-
drama than comedy. with all due re-
spect to the author, who has entitled it
romantic comedy" But it is a strong
play one full of color and passion. 1t
is capitally played, and gives Selena
Fetter Royle opportunity to demon
strate what a charming person she is
in comedy role, as we'll as the accom-
plished artist she proved herself in
