ary In the law of the current year.
An appeal was made to the house in
behalf of economy and retrenchment
and was defeated. To-day they re-
newed the struggle. Their defeat was
emphasized by the fact that parlia-
mentary wrangle Of over two hours
was required to demonstrate that
their amendment was in order, and
that having won the first half of their
victory in the decision of the chair,
the house by vote of 81 to Is re-
fused to adopt the amendment. In
pursuance Of their policy Of retrench-
ment, however, Mr.. Cannon raised
point OF order against two provisions
which changed existing law and they
went out Of the bill The progress
was very slow, only two of the sixty

posed of.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The house is
pushing ahead the appropriation bills
with all possible speed with view TO
an early final adjournment. Already
five of the thirteen general applopria
tiOn bills have been sent to the senate;
the army, military academy, urgent
deficiency, diplomatic and consular,
and agricultural. The District Of Co
lumbia bill has in 1t several disputed
items, but will. it is believed, cause
little trouble when It is again brought
into the house. The Indian bill is now
under consideration and the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial. the next
in order, is on the calendar. The naval
and postofficc bills will be brought in
this week. When these are disposed
Of but three will remain-the sundry
civil, general deficiency and fortifica-
tlons. The house leaders are still
hopeful that some way can be found to
secure action OH the tariff bill in the
senate, but beyond that there appears
to be little chance for general legis-
lation except. perhaps. a bankruptcy.
and, possibly. a Pacific railroad bill.
Consequently they are hurrying along
tho appropriation bills and shaping
things for un early adjournment. Mr..
Cannon, chairman Of the appropriation
committee. stated to an Associated
Press reporter that sine die adjourn
ment should be reached by the middle
Of May.

A GUARD TROPHY.
Colonel Henry G.. Shaw Wants the Con-
ditions of the Centennial Match
Cup Restored.

Henry G.. Shaw OF Stoc kton sent COM
munication to the Board of Supervisors
yesterday calling attention to the fact that
the Centennial trophy, a cup for which
the Supervisors appropriated $500 in 1876,
is still in existence, and that the condi-
tions under which it was presented to
the National Guard are not being COM
piled with. He recites the history of the
trophy. which was to be competed for on
the rifle range by the different regiments
of the guard for 100 years, or until 1875,
when 1t was to become the property of the
regiment winning it in that year. In the
interim the regiment winning the trophy
at each annual shoot was to hold it until
the next contest came off. Mr.. Shaw, who
was once a colonel in the guard, states
that the conditions have been so changed
that the regiment winning it two con-
secutive years shall own it absolutely,
instead" says Colonel Shaw, "of allow
ing it to stand as q great challenge trophy
to be honorably striyen for annually dur
ing the second centennial of the United
States. Such unauthorized action had the
effect of depriving the trophy OF its his
toric associations and of its power to in
spire the youth OF the City to engage in a
noble contest"
He protests against the changed condi-
tions being allowed to stand, and SAYS that
if the cup is not restored to its original
status it should be presented to the Golden
Gate Park Museum.

Oakland Exhibitors Fare Well Against

O y


eOS Broadway, Jan. 10.
One of the most interesting coops in the
Tabernacle show IS the one that contains
the Kansas freak. The freak IS a fowl
that has face like a monkey and the ex-
hibit is labeled monkey faced chicken"
The chicken has no beak, but a mouth
very similar to that of monkey, and in
side are few teeth. 1t has a fiat nose
with nostrils and the facial appearance of
the head is that of very small ape. In
side the mouth are few teeth and it
partly chews what it eats.
The monkey-faced chicken is the prop
erty of w. H. Shear and is Is months
old. Mr.. Shear says it is genuine Kan
sas freak and, although it does not belong
to any GLASS and can not be awarded pre-
MUM, it is an object of much interest.

children and hundreds of boys and girls
took advantage of the opportunity to lea m
lesson that can never be taught in a pub
lie school.
Among the most successful exhibitors is
ex-Mayor Charles D. Pierce of Oakland
who las completely captured the buff
Leghorn class. Mr.. Pierce is one of the
most enthusiastic amateur chicken raisers
in the county. He has entered nearly fifty
birds and with such good result that the
first, second and third premiums for buff
Leghorn pullets are his, so is the first
premium for buff Leghorn cockerils and
the first and second premiums for buff
Leghorn hens.
Mr.. Pierce IS so accustomed to receive
premiums for his Leghorns that he has
specially printed placards for ornament.

school children was the incubator section.
Several chicks were due to arrive this
afternoon and punctual to time the little
fluffy birds crashed through their shells
and welcomed the many visitors. The
show will be open till next Wednesday
night, including tomorrow.
