turning hastily to fee. he heard a
sound on the porch. He started and
his eyes became fixed upon the vision
before him. 4 figure, all in white and
motionless, stood upon the lower step.
Rev Wetherby Smiles was startled
but he was not superstitious. For
some seconds, however, he stared at
the apparition before he recognized it.
Then he stepped quickly forward and
began to make excuses in low voice.

He was tempted to lay her down upon
the porch and run. But he looked down
into the little white face, revealed by
the faint starlight The pale lids were
drawn over the great eyes which he
thought so glorious. The pouting lips
had not entirely lost their redness, but
the cheeks were without color. The
loose fitting wrapper which she had
slipped on over her night robe before
coming down evidently, like himself,
with the crocuses in mind, for a sheet
had slipped from her hand as she fell)
had fallen away at the neck, revealing
the marble-like beauty of her throat.
He looked upon her, and then did
not lay her down and flee. Instead he
stopped lower and-lifted her more
closely against his breast and carried
his burden into the house. There was
a. couch in the reception room. He laid
her down and lighted the gas. She
opened her eyes languidly and saw
him.

OREGON LEGISLATURE.
The Senate DissOIves, Practically
Concluding the EiascO.

SALEM (Or), March 2.-The Senate
tonight dissolved after passing a reso-
luton that it was manifest that the
House could not secure a constitutional
quorum. This action of the Senate prac-
tically concludes the legislative fiasco
The temporary House will meet again
to- o-morrow, but since the Senate has dis
solved no other course remains open to
them but to do likewise.
The members who were arrested yes
terday did not come in to-day, neither
did they do anything toward securing
writs of habeas corpus. They simply
disregarded the summons of Speaker
Davis. The matter was allowed to rest
as it was. They did, however, cause the
arrest of two Assistant Sergeants-at-
Arms for assault and battery. A hear
ing will be had on this charge in few
days.
Governor Lord was asked as to
whether he would appoint a successor to
Senator Mitchell. He refused to say
what his intentions in that direction

the medium. A letter was sent to him
by the Secretary of the Treasury, bear
ing the date of February 18th, instruct
ing him to call upon the Treasurer of
the Central Pacific Company and de-
mand the payment of the sum men
toned. The department at Washing
ton has not yet received detailed ad-
vices of the result of that visit, but
that there would be a cash payment.
The Central Pacific Company has
many claims for judgment affecting
every department of the Government
which it has put in as the offset of this
demand, which was expected, and SO
there must be legal proceedings to es-
tablish the validity of this claim be-
fore its final settlement.
The demand is the result of the sale
early in February of a block of twen-
ty mortgage bonds of the Central Pa
cific Company by the Government as
security for subsidy bonds and the ac-
tion was in pursuance of the Act of
1873. When sold the bonds failed to
realize to the Government the amount
in which it is indebted by the reason
of outstanding bonds by the amount
given above. To forestall possible argu-
ment that no demand was made when
the liability of the company was de-
termined, the present action was ta-
ken.
When the United States takes the
matter into court the railroad company
will. it is expected. claim it's offsets, and
likewise enter demurrer, setting
forth that under the original Acts none
of the interest is due until all is paya-
BILE. This will, it is thought give the
Government hard fight, by reason of
the wording of the original law.
When Assistant Treasurer Berry was
asked about the matter, tonight he
was inclined to deny any knowledge of
the transaction between the Govern
ment and the railroad company in
which he played an important part.
Finally, however, he said: The truth
is I made the demand under instruc-
tions and 1 did not expect to be paid
Government did not calculate more op-
timistically than l. The fact, in all
probability, is that while these claims
and counter claims are being exchang-
ed, the AttOrney-General and the Sec
retary of the Treasury do not wish in
the future, to be charged with laches.
Each side has its claims, and it was
demand, so that the Government might
not suffer in future if it be decided that
a demand were necessary

of the improved condition of the roads

The report cites in detail the opera
tions of the board, and then makes a
comparison of the two harbors for the
purposes named. At each place it says
deep water anchorage in six to eight
fathoms of water can be obtained At
either place the necessary anchorage
for convenient transfer of business
from shipping to land can be construct
ed.
In determining which harbor will be
more useful, five different conSidera-
tions were reviewed: Convenience for
construction, accessory works, ap-
proaches from the sea and from the
land, availability as harbor refuge and
capacity for extension and enlargement
as the demands of commerce may re-
quire.
After careful examination of all these
considerations the board finds that the
greatest Advantages are with San Pc
dro. While the physical advantages Of
San Pedro location leads to its selec-
ton, the report says, the advisa bility of
that choice is materially strengthened
by consideration Of extensive improve
ments of its interior harbor already
made, conditiCnally provided for or
contemplated as the object of future
appropriations. II the choice did fall
to Port Los Angeles, the present stat
ute would then authorize Improvement
at San Pedro to the amount of 1892
600, and the same statute unqualifiedly
directs the Secretary of War, at his dis
cretion, to cause surveys and estimates
to be made for future improvements at
the same location.
In concluding the report the board
says: 1T is the judgment of this board
that the best public policy in the in
terest of economy and for the attain
ment of a deep-Water harbor for COM
merce and refuge demands concentra-
tlon OF expenditures at one point with
corresponding cumulative excellence of
results, rather than dispersion and
weakening of results by divided expen-
diture and two locations This con-
clusion is strengthened by the fact that
the selection of San Pedro harbor un-
doubtedly involves materially less ulti-
mate expenditure than is certain to be
incurred by the maintenance of two
harbors. PrepOnderance of physical ad-
vantages leads to the selection of San
Pedro as in line with the requirements
of the best public policy"
The Improvement contemplated is a
stone breakwater beginning about 9. 100
feet from shore and extending in .
line 900 feet; thence In a three
degree curve about 1,S00 feet: thence
in straight line 3, 700 feet to the end.
