following committee on legislation was
named and instructed to exert every
possible legitimate influence upon the
next legislature for the creation of
state library commission: Frank
Dawley, Cedar Rapids; w. II. Payne,
Nevada, and Mrs. S. b. Morse, of Des
Moines. The following resolution was
adopted unanimously:
Resolved. That Il IL the sense OF the Iowa
Library association that a state library
commission should be provided by law, and
the committee on legislation is hereby in
structed to bring the matter properly to
the attention of the general assembly and
urge It's adoption.
An Overnight.
The state executive council has dis
covered that it has no means of meeting
the current expenses of running the
state house and the condition of affairs
is somewhat embarrassing, all caused
by, a legislative oversight. The legisla-
ture passed bill providing that the
executive council should have authority
to purchase supplies for the state house
for necessary repairs, conducting the
offices, etc., and stated that these bills
should be paid out of the appropriation
provided for the purpose land not 9TH
erwise." And there is where the trouble
arises, The appropriation was never
provided. Attorney-General Remley
has ransacked the code for relief, but he
has about given up, and the council has
practically decided that the only thing
to be done is to wait until the legisla-
ture meets this fall, and then lay the
matter before that body for considera-
ton.
The New Commandnnt.
Col. c. c. Horton, who has been Sc
lected by the commissioners of the
Iowa soldiers home at Marshalltown for
commandant, is So years old, and has
been citizen of Muscatne since 1s4s.
He served as a soldier in the Second
Iowa cavalry, enlisting as private in
company A, being promoted for gallant
services until he was commissioned lieu
tenant colonel, being in all the battles
In which that regiment engaged, and
In the Coldwater battle received a hip
wound which still gives him trouble.
In all his public offices he has given eff
ficient services, as representative In the
Legislature, as special land agent of the
government, and afterwards as pension
examiner, which office he filled for 10
years. The past five years he has been
one of the real estate firm of Kemble 81

Pacific Whaling Co. Has Three
Steamers I'm This Port.


Capt. o. j. Humphrey. Alaska superin-
tenden. of the Pacific Steam Whaling
Company, has arrived In this city from
San Francisco. He will remain here until
the steamers of the company, now in this
port, leave for their appointed destinations.
The steamer Alliance. which arrived We'd
nesday from San Francisco, is already
MED with passengers and freight, and
Capt. Humphrey was lamenting Yesterday
that he could not Immediately secure an
other vessel for Copper river. as he feels
assured ii could he filed without difficulty.
1T is no longer a question of getting pas
sengers." he said yesterday; 'it is a ques-
ton Of how to dispose of them.
L telegraphed today to San Francisco
for steamer, the charter price of which
a few months ago was 1850 a month But
would you think that now the owners
want Si,o00 month? That Is too much of
a good thing, and I shall have to let 1t
go"
The Pacific Steam Whaling Company has
now in this port three steamers the ALL
ancc. which will sail for the Copper river
January 2. the Wolcott. scheduled to go
on the run between Seattle and Dyea and
Skaguay. leaving here January s. and the
tug Golden Gate. which was brought here
recently from Hunters bay. Alaska. to be
refitted.
The Wolcott will have her Headquarters
at the Schwahacher dock. The plan Is TO
run her In connection with the steamer
Hueneme. which will be operated between
Seattle and Lynn canal ports as a freight
or. by Gray & Mitchell. of San Francisco
The Hueneme will carry freight, and the
Wolcott passengers The former vessel
will leave San Francisco today for Seattle
and will arrive in about four days. The
combination proposed for the two vessels
Is something of an experiment and may
not be permanent.
The steamer Valencia, recently pur-
chased on the Atlantic coast by the Pacific
Steam Whaling Company. left New York
December 20 TO come around the horn. She
will he operated. from San Franc cisco as
a tender to the company's fleet OF whalers
