But while the commanding officer pro-
poses, Chairman Cannon of the Appro-
priations Committee of the House dis
poses. and there is a strong possibility
that much of this win be cut off.
General Miles has outlined, though not
at great length, his plans for the future
defenses of San Francisco harhor, which
he calls the Gibraltar of the Pacific
Coast" This is contained in letter to
General Forsyth, commanding the De-
partment of California. General Miles
viii not discuss the matter further now,
saying the plans contemplate the. most
perfect system of defense possible for the
harbor.
The letter written soon after the recent
accident to gun emplacement, and
which dealt partly with that, speaks of
San Francisco's defenses thus: AS high
power guns are being erected at Lime
Point. on the north side of the Golden
Gate, and additional batteries of modern
grns and mortars are soon to be erected
there, il is important that there be a
strong garrison on that side of the har-
Dor, which l call the Gibraltar of the Pa
cific Coast
Il would advocate a careful examina-
ton of the grounds to be made all over
the large reservation. with view to Sc
lecting the proper site for strong artil-
lery garrison, and that plans and esti-
mates be made for the protection and
housing of the batteries hereafter to be
located there. Until the guns are perma-
nently located, details for their proper
care and preservation can be made from
Angel Island. which is easily accessible
for that purpose.
Angel Island is the right flank of the
second line OF defense, and will be the
most important artillery station in the
harbor. Its armament will be at least
eight high-power guns of a modern char
acter. The Preside is not heavy artil-
lery post, though there are two batteries
there for its protection and for manning
the batteries on the south side of the Col
den Gate. But the Preside is a grand
reservation for the Pacific Coast, and its
garrison of heavy artillery, light batter
les and battalion of cavalry, and in time
a regiment of infantry, should be avail
able for any purposes of regular troops

WORKING TO BEAT MITCHELL.
The Oregon Senatorial Election VIII
Probably Go Over.

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 15.-The fifth day of
the session Of the Legislature opened
with no quorum in the House, 30 mem
bers only answering the roll call. SOM
ers offered a resolution to the effect that
as certain members had prevented a quo
rum without giving a reason for their
absence, a committee of three be ap-
pointed to confer with absentees and as
certain the reason for their refusal to
come and constitute quorum.
The chair ruled the motion out of order
Somers then put the motion to the House
and declared it carried. He then de-
manded that the clerk put the motion
on record. Brown asked for a report
from the temporary sergeant-at-arms in
the matter of bringing in the absentees.
The sergeant-at-arms reported that he
had seen all the absentees, but three, and
had notified them to appear. Bridges
moved the report be entered. The Speak
er decided the motion was out of order
The House spent the entire afternoon
in making dilatory motions and adjourn
ed until tomorrow. Many members left
the Capital today TO spend Sunday. and
as they viii not return until Monday af-
ternoon, 1t is highly probable that the or
ganization of the House will not occur
before Tuesday, which will again delay
the vote for United States Senator one
week, or until February ID.
The Mitchell men express confidence in
their ability to keep their forces in line
until vote is taken, while the opposi-
ton is just as confident that they will
bring about the defeat of Senator Mitch
ell for reelection.

CLINTONS ARE THIRD
The Team Won Two Games
from the Dooless Club
at Woods Hall.
CHAMPION WEFERs Tc RUN
He Has Entered for the N. J. A. G.
Games-Liyely Times for Pool
players-Niantic Wheel
men Meet.

The Clinton Club scored 4 double VIC
tory last right in the games of the Jer-
sey City League which were rolled on
the Woods Hall alleys. The attendance
was large, everyone expecting a large
score. The home bowlers are strong at
home and compare well with the regu-
lar team which rolls for Doolittle. The
Clintons hit up high scores and showed
their old time form. Joe Ruddick
rolled with the team again and seemed
to give them renewed confidence. The
Dooless bowlers were confident of win
ming one game at least, but were I'M
able to carry out their purpose. The
Clintons excelled we'll the average and
sent their figure within a few pins of the
SOC mark in the first and excelled it in
the second. The Dooless bowlers barely
beat the 800 mark in the first game, but
did much better in the second, and beat
the $50 block. The betting favored on
even break. In the opening contest
Dooless was behind "a pins on the OPEN
ing frame n fell further behind in
each succeeding one until close ave the
visitors the game by 80 pins. Joe Rud-
dick rolled the splendid record of 215.
Duke put up a record of 1893. For the
other team Esher bowled 1876. Douglas
was low and kept the scores down as
he failed to make the average. He was
worse off in the second game, n his
work on the team was weak. He should
give way to one of the other members, as
he may at some time weaken the chances
considerably. The Dooless Club made a
hot fight in the second game and bowled
out the first frame with full credits. In
the second frame the team led the OPP
posing side by IS pins. This fell to 10
IN the third and it was still smaller on
the fourth, the margin being only four
pins. The teams fought as hard as ever
On the fifth and Dooless still held the
lead, but only by one pin. The Gin
tons broke away on the sixth went
to the fore the first time, leading the
home team by IA pins. The margin grew
in each succeeding frame, the difference
being 30 pins on the ninth. Clinton pound
ed the pins hard on the tenth, however,
and Dooless were unablet to pull down the
lead and the second defeat was admin:s-
tered by a gap of "A pins. Joe Rud-
dick displayed his skill with another fine
record. beating the 200 mark by IA and
averaging 2141s for the two games. Jul
again finished in the 1870 block, as did
HUMPHREYS. This victory places the Clin-
tons in a better position to fight for the
prize, and they have left the Van Ber-
gems in the rear and are in third place.

ord of q 1-5 secs, which IS a worlds rec
ord, and the 300 yards record of 30 3-5
