FREE He. FAD BILL.
MEASURE OF Great Tmportahce to Settlers
Upon PubIiC lands.

MEASURE of Great Importance to settlers
Upon Public Lands.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-Thc senate
has passed the measure known IA the
free homestead bill which has been I'M
der discussion since the holiday recess.
1t is a measure of far-reaching impOr-
lance. particularly to the West. and
the interest in it was shown by the fact
that q plank concerning it was a fea-
ture of the several national platforms.
The effect of the bill is to open to set
Element all public lands acquired from
Indians, free of any payment to the
government beyond the minor office
fees, and to release from payment
those who have heretofore settled on
these lands. The number Of acres in.
volved, according to an estimate made
by the commissioner Of the general
laud Office, is 33, 252, 54l, which
Would Have Yielaed the Governmen mt,
at the prices heretofore established,
$50, 343, O66. To offset this statement it
was brought out during the debate that
the lands were mainly arid and that
those who had settled upon them were
unable to make payment on account of
the scanty products of the soil. The
Western senators, in the main. favored
the bill as an extension of the general
homestead policy of the government.

VuNtiuy the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat IA It ;ndiscriminately called, is a
species OF big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not 20 much because
of the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because OF It's actual
rarity. 1t Is n stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t is not, however,
found In the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually. among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out Of ten.

CHARGED With DRUNK"
Policeman Owen E. Heffernan
to Appear Before the
Commissioners.
The Identity of the Two Toughs
Who Olubbed and Nearly Killed
Him Is Known.

Policeman Owen Z. Heffernan is not
only suffering from a broken head, but
also from the knowledge that he will have
to appear before the Police Commissioners
on a charge of drunkenness
Certain facts came to the knowledge OF
Captain Spillane yesterday regarding the
row in Bastion's saloon on Jessie and An
thony streets Sunday night which COM
PEELED him to prefer the charge against
Heffernan to Chief Lees.
There is tough gang in the neighbo r
hood of Anthony and Jessie streets, and
they were waiting for chance to 'do up"
Heffe rnan. 1t is believed that the dis
turbance was made in Bastion's saloon
purposeiy by the gang, as they had noticed
that Heffernan had been indulging in
stimulants, and when he entered, two OF
the gang, Jack Bohen and Johnny Della
ney, took his pistol and club from him
and used them upon his scalp, nearly kill
ing him.
A vigorous search has been made by the
police for Bohen and Delaney, but they
are keeping out oi the way. When ar.
rested they will be charged with an as
sault to murder. The conduct of the
saloonkeeper in not going 10 the assist
ance of the officer will also be investigated,
and it is possible that his license may be
revoked.
Captain Spillane said yesterday that he
had warned Heffernan repeatedly against
induIging in liquor, as it would get him
into trouble, but he did not appear tC
take any heed of the warnings and what
the captain expected has occurred.

Scavengers' Refuse Sends
Deathly Vapors Broad
cast.
Congested Lungs and Swelled
Heads the Re-
suit.
The Board of Health to Be Petitioned
to Abate the Death-Dealing
Nuisance.

The recently esta ablished crematory in
which the scavengers' offal is burned at
so much per cubic yard is bound to have
a cry OF opposition raised against it.
Since the big smokestack has COM
menced to emit lis volumes of white
smoke and gas from the offal consumed
in the furnace beneath doctors have
reaped a rich harvest in fees from the
people who live near il. During the first
few weeks after the crematory started
several people were taken i'll with conges-
ton OF the lungs, enlargement of the
glands of the neck. severe headaches, sore
throats and otner Ills. To sewer gas and
other miasmas these ailments were at
triputed, and it was only when persons
passing near the crematory became al
iected that the true cause was ascertalned.
D.. Ntzgl bbon OF the Board OF Health
while attending he little daughter OF John
Hayden at 525 Seventh street, got whtf
of the noxious gas one night last week
that bore strong testimony by the effects
on himself. He at once pronounced the
gas to be injurious and OF sufficient seri-
usness TO call for the interference of the
Health Department.
Acting on this suggestion, John l..
Creamy, the attorney, who lives in the
section affected by the noxious gas ana
vapor. has prepared petition which,
when signed by The residents in that por-
ton OF the city, will be presented TO the
Board of Health tor its consideration.
The mum ber of families affected is very
large, almost every house in the vicinity
of the crematory's smoke having some in
mate affected 10 a more or less extent.
The question will come before the Board
of Heath at its next regular meeting
when the petitioners will have an oppor-
tunity to explain their ailments to the
learned me dicos OF the Health Depart

Twenty-Five Hundred Men Are

Japanese Cruiser Ohitose to Be

O. S. Battle-Ship Wisconsin.

AT the Union Works of San Francisco
300 men are engaged in the work OF bmId-
ing ships. Several ships great in dImen-
sion and power are in course of construc-
ton.
1he newspapers recently have had a
great deal TO say about the battles hip
Iowa, which IS doubtless one OF the best
ships afoat. The SCOTS are building at
the works in this city a ship-oi-war equal
IN all res poets to the Iowa, and on some
lines superior ship. The Iowa Is q ship
of II ,296 tons and liz 900 horsepower. Her
length Is $50 feet and her breadth of beam
y feet inches. Tne coal ca pacity IS 2000
tons, or 5000 miles at 10 knots
The battle-ship Wisconsin on the ways
at the Union Iron Works is OF the same
class IS The heaTsage, Kentucky, Illinois
and Alabama. Her length is sos feet her
beam y feet 8 inches. She is a ship of
Il SOC ions. Her coal capacity is equal to
a cruise of 5000 miles at ten knots an hour
IN nun Der Of guns the battery OF the
w lsconsin may be superior 10 that of the
Iowa, but in this respect neither ship sur
passes the Oregon. The battery OF the
Oregon, consisting in part OF four 13-inch
guns and eight 8-inch guns, is one OF the
most formlda bic ahOat.
Ii IS too early to figure on the exact time
for launching the Wisconsin, but the event
will take place some time in the year
le9S No doubt the event viii bring to
san Francisco many distinguished men
ana women from Milwaukee,, Madison,
Oshkosh and other cities of Wisconsin.
The first big launching at the Union
Iron " Orks will occur during the later
mart of January next. Then the new
japanese cruiser Chitose VIII go to the
water. The occasion VIII be properly OBJ
served by the mem bers of the japanese
colony in this city, e-enforced by eminent
representatives of Japan from elsewhere.
-L- name ChItose signifies a long time or
I'D years, which is regarded in Japan as
long time indeed.
Japan is building a formidable navy.
Many OF the new battle-shlps are of the
highest power, equipped with every mod

of Japan on the sea / now greater than
the power of the United States on the
water, or at least that is the iadgmen. OF
American naval officers who keep posted
as TO the relative strength OF the navies OF
various nations.
a ooahic; between Russia and Japan IS
regarded as inevitable. Japan views Rus
sia's atiitu { in COrea as one that may be
tolerated for a time, but not permanently
endured. The Gar is powerful on land
and sea, and Japan, while plucky enough
to fight his legions and squadrons, IS too
weak at present to offer resistance.
