the water at the beginning of this eddy
is very deep 1t makes very dangerous
wind, and just opposite this wind s a
large sandbar Of dry, white sand which
extends several feet from the rivers
margin and isincreased in size year by

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2O.-CoIonel C.
F. Croker of the Southern Pacific has re-
ceived telegram from Chauncey NJ.
Depew stating that Mr.. Vanderbilt and he
were coming to California. They will be
in New Orleans on Monday and will start
Immediately for San Francisco. Colonel
Crocker has arranged to meet them at Los
Angeles. The visit of Depew and Wander
bilt to California, together with the fact
that J. B. butcher. one of the directors of
the New York Central railroad, and Daniel
Mccoy, one of the officers of that road, are
already here, has caused considerable gos--
sip as to whether or not the trip is one of
business or pleasure. The visit of Wander
bilt and Depew is regarded as tending to
confirm the stories that they intend to buy
the Central and Union Pacific roads in case
the government foreclosed. Colonel Crock
er says that so far as he knows Vanderbilt
and Depew are simply on pleasure bent
They will spend a few days in Southern
California, and will return east over the
Central and Southern Pacific roads.

yesterday afternoon the British ship Glen
morag of Glasgow went ashore at Ocean
Park. about seven miles from Ilwace on
the Washington coast. The Glenmorag
sailed from Shields, August 25, 1895, and
arrived at Callao December 9Th. She was
bound for this port. She is of 1867 tons
burden and is said 10 belong to the same
owners as the Strathblane. which went
ashore five miles below on the same beach
four years ago. She carried q crew of
twenty-six men.
The ship struck about high water in a
dense fog. The after port and starboard
boats were at once lowered. The mate,
who was in the lee boat, attempted to pull
out to sea, but was compelled to let her
drift in shore. The boat which had been
lowered on the weather side in rounding
the stern was caught by a tremendous sea
and dashed I'D under the ships counter,
crushing the occupants in a cruel manner
and smashing the boat considerably. Cap
tain Currie next set about lowering the for
ward boat and reached shore safely about
an hour later.
John Reedy and James Adams were
killed and kitchards, Buckler, Sherwood

Existing r1ail Schedules


Existing Tail Schedules
SAN Francisco, March 2O.-The execu-
tive committee of the California Press as
sociation met tonight to discuss matters of
interest 10 the newspapers of the state.
The subject for consideration was the
Loud bill, affecting the laws admitting
second-cIass matter to the mails. The fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, There is pending in congress a
bill to amend the postal laws relating to
second-class mail matter, which proposes
changes in the existing postal laws,
Resolved, by the executive committee of
the California Press association that the
senators and representatives in congress
from California are requested to use all
honorable means to prevent the passage of
any bill affecting or changing the present
laws which relate to legitimate newspaper
circulation in the mails.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the
reform suggested in the bill regarding sec
ond-class matter, which under the guise Of
newspaper and magazine literature have
copgested the mails and prostituted the
service by the carriage of trashy and often
dangerous literature and of matter in
tended merely for advertising purposes.
A committee was appointed to arrange
for the spring meeting of the association at
Sacramento at such a date as will CORE
spond with the arrival of the Nevada
Press association.

NEGOTIATING
Settlement Of the Venezuela Case VIII Be

settlement OF tne Venezueia Ease VIII BE
Slow
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-No denial is
made in official circles of the fact that
direct negotiation with Great Britain re-
specting the Venezuelan boundary dispute
has been resumed by the state department
at the point where they were left by the
exchange of the notes between Secretary
Oiney and Lord Salisbury of last July and
last November respectively.
Lord Salisbury had the last word, ac-
cording to the published correspondence,
and the sending of tho special message to
congress by President Cleveland had the
effect of delaying report to Lord Sails
bury's note, but did not relieve The depart
ment of the necessity of fulfilling the obii-
cation to reply eventually. 1t is believed
here that not only has this response been
made, but that other exchanges have toll
lowed, principally through Ambassador
Bayard at London. and that once more the
negotiations are running along in ex.
cellent temper. with fair prospects
of satisfactory termination. There is q
determined refusal here to speak of the

son to believe that Venezuela is being con-
suited at every step by our own govern
ment), but from q confederation of the
positions of Secretary Olney and Lord Sal
isbury last autumn it may fairly be sur
missed that the main effort now is to agree
upon some limitation of the extent of the
territory to be thrown into arbitration or
direct negotiation, and compromise is
looked for between the Schomberg line,
representing the extreme concessions
which Great Britain has been willing to
make heretofore, and the Essequibo, which
marked the widest claim of the Venezuelan
government to Jurisdiction. 1t may be as
sumed with reasonable certainty that once
such an agreement Is reached as to the
Limitation of the arbitration the remainder
of the task of arbitration, the title to dis
pnted tracts, or OF adjusting the matter by
direct negotiation. will not present any
particular difficulty or threaten to cause

PITTsBuRc. March 20.-In letter to
Hon. Thomas 3. Reed recently, H. d. w.
English of this city, stated that it was pro-
posed by the Republican county conven-
ton to submit the names of Mckinley and
quay to the voters of Allegheny county in
order that they might have chance to
show their preference for presidential can
dlates, and suggesting that as he had
many warm friends in this country his
name would he submitted as we'll.
This morning Mr.. English received the
following reply:
My Dear Sir:-I have not the slightest
desire to have my name submitted in the
way you suggest. While | might have
been glad of the opportunity under other
circumstances, under the present would
not. In no state where there is a candi-
date have any friends of mine interfered
with local wishes, nor will they with my
consent. am obliged to you for the per-
sonal kindness involved in your sugges-
ton and have very pleasant memories of
your previous kindness. Yours very truly,

IN THE HOUSE
Ambassador Bayari Is Censured --Boasner
Ioeoe HE -caf

Loses His Seat
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The debate on
the resolution to censure Mr.. Bayard,
which has already occupied the attention
Of the house for two days, was resumed to-
day under an agreement entered into yes
terday to take q vote at 2 o'clock today.
Mr.. Adams, Republican of Pennsylvania,
who was minister to Brazil under the Har-
rison administration. favored the resolu-
tons and said Mr.. Bayard's long service
and commanding position, as an Ameri-
can, made his offeose more fragrant and
reprehensible. To show that MIR. Bayard
fully recognized his position as the repre-.
sentative of the whole people, he read
from a speech delivered a year ago by Mr..
Bayard At wilmington, Del, in which the
ambassador said: II represent no party
as ambassador to Great Britain. but my
country and my own people,"
Mr.. Fairchild, Republican of New York,
took issue with the majority of the foreign
affairs committee as to the character of
MIR. Bayard's offense, expressing regret
that the committee had not brought in ar
ticles of impeachment instead of censure.
Mr.. Bayard's utterances, he argued, con.
stituted a criminal libel within the defini-
ton of the law, and III view of his exalted
position, high crime against his county.
Mr.. Wheeler, Democrat. of Alabama, in
opposition to the resolution, made the first
reference to the tariff today. He said this
attack on Ambassador Bayard came from
Massachusetts, a state that believed in
protection for protection's sake. Major
Mckinley had on this floor argued in favor
of high protection for iron and cotton ties
as absolutely necessary to their production
in. this country. Cotton ties had been
placed on the free list by the Wilson bill,
yet he read a telegram from Youngstown.
Ohio. chronicling the first shipment of cot.
ton ties to Bombay, India.
Mr.. Hutchinson, Democrat, of Texas,
said he would vote for the second of the
resolutions. laying down the we'll estab-
Iished general principle that our repre-
sentativee at foreign courts should abstain
from partisan speeches, but he could not
vote for the resolution that censured Mr..
bayard by name.

LONDON, March 21.-The Standard in
commenting upon the censure of the
United States ambassador by the house of
grievance was ridiculously exaggerated
and it trusts, for the sake of preserving The
friendly conduct of the Venezuelan dis
pute, Mr.. Bayard will ignore the vote, "al-
though he might naturally desire to free
himself from official control and throw
himself into the controversy at home 30 as
to wreak revenge on his opponents who
have taken ungenereus advantage of
very slight breach of decorum."
