WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. II, 1897
The following postmasters were ap-
pointed today by the president for the
state of California: S. L. Newsletter,
at Chula Vista; E. Ilsohn, at Diamond
Springs: H. S. Grinnell, at La Costa.
London Times" on WOlcOtt's Visit.
In speaking of the visit of Senator
Wolcott, the London "Times" says:
Senator Wolcott will be welcomed
here. For several reasons, Mr.. Me-
Kinley could not have chosen more
acceptable envoy. But public opinion
in England is more hostile than before
to bimetallism. Nothing can be hoped
from the visit, except as political
movement and a salve to the silverites.
The failure of his mission is certain.
No public man, whatever mis- theoreti-
cal views, would think the present an
opportune moment to moot the question
and this opinion will exist, at all events,
as long as bimetallism appears to be
dropped or revived according to the
exigeucies of American domestic
politics. -

Pacific Funding Bill Dead.

WASHINGTON, II. y. January IL
| Speaker Reed rendered his decision in
the house of representatives today
that the motion to recommit the
Pacific railroad funding bill to the
committee made by Mr.. Powers,
republi can of Vermont, on yesterday
was not in order.
Mr.. johnson said that the attack on
his character which appeared in the
Record had never been delivered on
the floor of the house by Mr.. Mcguire,
yet he had information from San Fran
cisco that the Examiner had printed
the speech, alleging that it had been
delivered on the floor. johnson said it
was true that he had been indicted in
Syracuse, N. Y, but that he had
since paid every dollar he owed
in that city. During his congressional
campaigns he had told people he was
the same Grove Johnson, who had been
indicted and he had been nominated
and reelected. He did not try to con-
ceal his youthful fault. 81 did wrong"
he said, 81 know it but 1 have made
up for it as we'll as any man could
Here Mr. Johnson's voice broke.
Mr.. johnson sat down amid applause,
and then Mr.. Mcguire arose.
He referred to Mr.. John
sons attack on Mr.. Hearst as the
most bitter and malicious assault
he had ever heard delivered against
an absent man who had no means of
answering on the floor. A motion by
Mr.. Poole, (Rep, N. " was adopted to
expunge from the record certain por-
tions of Maguire's speech, and the res
olution to strike from the record Mr..
Johnson's remarks rejecting on the
character of Mr.. Hearst, was defeated.
Brosius, called up the house bill in
creasipg the classes to which preference
shall be given in appointments in civil
service. 1t provides that these classes
shall be disabled union soldiers and !
sailors of the late war, honorably dis |
union soldiers and sailors, |
widows and orphans of union soldiers
and sailors. The bill passed. Mr..
Johnso q. Calf, then took the floor on |
question of personal privilege, made an
address IN answer to re-
marks inserted in the congressional
Record this morning by Atr. Mcguire,
Rep, Calf, under leave to print.

JeffersOnian Simplicity.

DENVER, Jan. 12.-The most simple
and unpretentious inauguration cere =
monies in the history of Colorado
marked the inaugural of Governor Alva
Adams, at noon today. Mr.. Adams
walked from his residence to the
capitol, took the oath of office before
Chief Justice Hayt, and made an
address to the assembl Legislature,
retiring directly to his Office. He
then started in Oh his gubernatorial
duties with no military, no display, no
expense, and al total cost of the cele-
bration at S3 for printing tickets of
admission to the capitol. The govern
or's inaugural demands a most rigid
economy in the conduct of state af-
fairs.

LOIE FULLER.
The next grand attraction in the the
atrical line will be Loie Fuller, who
will appear here on the 18th. She will
appear at the National and that she
will be we'll received goes without say
ing, because these people love amuse-
ment, especially when they are first
thing extraordinary and will contain
800 yards of silk. In this immense robe
of elegant material she will do her
the entire five hundred yards of silk
will appear to be in flames. But Loie
will get there and she will carry away
many Mexican ducats when she leaves,
too.
1t is wonderful what difference a
man feels about money matters in this
country. If man comes down from
the states and wants to buy something
and the price is 81. 90 he saws "Oh that's
only 80 cents anyway" and makes the
purchase. How different one feels if
he is earning his money in this country.
To one earning his money here a dollar
is dollar and he can't get into his
head that it is only fifty cents. He is
not willing tC call dollar fifty cents
and let the trade go. At some other
time L will tell you more about it.

Powder Mill EXpiNNeS.

PITTSBURG, Penna., Jan. 1Z.-At 9:15
o'clock this morning the tank house of
the Columbia Powder company, located
in Hollowa one half mile from the Ohio
river and midway between Boroughs
Shousetown & Shanopin, was accident
ally blown up. Five minutes later the
store room was also shattered by q
terrific explosion. Mr.. Stickney, the
proprietor of the works and his two
daughters are dead, while Mr.. P. Nc
Kluskey was fatally injured and Walter
Crane was seriously injured. The
nitro-glycerine magazine is now sur
rounded by an uncomfortable fire and
will doubtless explode, adding greatly
to the damage of the adjacent property.
A corrected list of the killed and in
jured places the dead at four and one

By an almost superhuman effort the
flames were controlled before the
glycerine magazine igpited and more
serious catastrophe was averted. The
cause of the explosion will probably
never be known.
