All who VISIT San Diego must perceive
ut once the Importance of the harbor Of
San Diego as the terminus of a trans
continental railroad from the Missis-
sippi by the route of the Gila. San
Diego. all things considered, has the
best harbor on the coast, having a uni
form climate, perfect anchorage and Sc
curity from winds in any direction. On
the whole coast of California, over 700
miles, there are but two natural land
locked harbors, San Francisco and San
Diego. The latter, although not as large,
Is more easy of access and safer for
shipping than San Francisco. There Is
less rain, fog or thick haze and more

HOMES FOR VETERANS.
If All Are To Be Provided For Congress
Must Take Action.

Washington, December s.-The report of
Gen. W. P Franklin, president of the board
of managers of the National soldiers
Homes, was laid by the Speaker today be-
fore the House. 1t shows that the twenty
five state homes are gradually becoming
source of pride to their states. and they are
economically humaneIy conducted. There
has been a gradual decrease in the COST Oh
maintaining state homes and all branches OF
the National homes The increase in the
number OF admissions to the homes con-
tinues, and it is only minimized by prudent
management
The average number of members OF state
homes this year is 7755; the average number
of kept one year in national and state homes
was 25,2O9; whole number cared for during
present year in the national and state homes
was 4O,O30. The report shows that If 1t be
the intention of Congress to furnish home
to all disabled volunteer soldiers and sailors
not otherwise provided for, some additional
provisions should be made.

QUALITY OF CORN POOR.
Yield Largest on Record. But Much Not
Marketable.

Springfield, Mass, December S.-The 1895
crop of corn now practically secured is
placed at 2, 1863, O00, 900 bushels, according to
the December report of the New England
Homestead. The authority named says there
is the greatest. disappointment in the quality
of the product. Complaint OF failure to ripen
and properly dry out, is very general. In
some districts the quality is SO poor that loss
from heading has followed efforts to crib.
While the crop is the largest ever grown, the
amount of merchantable corn is probably
less than was produced last year. The aver
age rate of the yield is 27.9 bushels of shelled
corn from an acre.
Testimony points to an increase of area
sown to winter wheat, according to the ex-
haustiye returns. A good many farmers
seeded wheat when it became apparent that
prices would rule higher. The condition
this extra seeding is relatively less favor
able, and due chiefly to defective seed beds
and haste in getting the seed into the
ground.

New York Herald Has Absolute Author

New York, Decsnnar 8.-A Washing
ton special to tho Herald says, The
rosit.=e statement In the Herald fort
night ago that President-elect Mckinley
wonld call an extra session of Congress
Immediately after his inaus urstion is
confirmed by nj absolutely authoritative
statement.
The call for the extra session will
probably he issued within day or two
after the inauguration, and it is Mr.. Nc
Kinley's present intention to have Con-
gress convene on Monday, March 10. The
President elect takes the ground tnat the
massage of revenue bill to increase the
receipts of the government is absolutely
necessary if his administration is not to
be forced to issue bonds before he has
been in office year.
1t has already developed that not all
the Republicans are disposed to give the
extra session proposition their hearty
support. Speaker Reed is opposed to an
extra session. He is not inclined to de-
spair of the passage of the Dingley bill
during the winter session, and he be-
lieves the prospects Of its passage are
fully as good as the prospects of tariff
bill in the extra session.
There is also disposition among some
of the Repub lican Senators from the New
England States to receive the extra
SESSION idea coldly, though their hearty
support will he absolutely essential to
the passage of any kind of tariff bill.

Washington, December S.-Although
the Republican Senatorial cauous was
called to meet at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, it was half an hour later before
quorum CT Republicans ARR we'd. Messrs.
Dubois, Pettigrew, Mantle and Cannon,
the four of thu five boiling Senators now
in the CITY. did not attend but held
conference in the com mittes room OF Mr..
Dubois. There was no discrimination IN
the matter Of notification in connection
with the caucus. The only ex-Republican
to whom notice. was not sent, was
Senator Stewart of Nevada.
senator Dubois this morning through
a note addressed to Senator Sherman,
chairman Of the caucus, resigned the
secretary ship of the caucus, and his MEM
bership on the steering committee. This
may be an indication of the proposed
policy OF tins silver men to refrain from
hereafter affil.ating with their old time
colleagues.
Senator Wilson of Washington, was

Senators Shoup of Idaho, and Hans
brough, Of North Dakota, for the
vacancy on the steering committee. The
q, estion WAS settled satisfactorily 10y
putting both men on the committee. The
Chi # topic for discussion was the Dlngley
bill with the result that the matter was
referred without action to the steering
committee. That committee will con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of taking mp the
Dingley bill and the possibility of pass
ing it if wisdom suggests That such effort
should be made.
Tue consensus of opinion gathered from
the short speeches made was that 1T
would not be wise to take up the bill.
Republicans who attended the caucus say
they are firm in the conviction that the
Dingley bill is now without hope Of
passage.
Senator Wolcott of Colorado introduced
a resolution which was unanimously
adopted, authorizing the chairman OF the
caucus to appoint a special committee OF
Eve Senators whose duty it shall be to
devise such legislation for action by this
session of Congress as will secure an In
ternational monetary conference with the
leading commercial nations OF the world.
Senator Wolo0tt made short speech
favoring the resolution.
The debate on the DinRley bill was
participated in By upwards OF dozen
Senators. Messrs Hale and FRYE of

the measure and push 1t, while Messrs.
