OPPOSE FRANCIS.
Vest Objects to the Confirmation
of the Secretary of the
Interior.

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 13.-The Sen
ate in executive session today had up for
a time the nomination of David r. Fran
els to be secretary of the interior, but no
action was taken.
Senator Vest of Missouri was the prin-
cipal opponent of confirmation, but
he was also seconded by Senator
Pugh OF Alabama Both of these
senators made speeches against the con-
frmation and alleged various reasons
against it, among others the conduct of
Secretary Francis during the campaign.
Senator Vest referred to the letter which
Secretary Francis wrote supporting the
Indianapolis ticket and opposing the reg
ular Democratic ticket nominated at Chi
cago.
Several senators announced their in
tention of voting fer the confirmation of
Secretary Francis and the prospects of
his confirmation are good; in fact, it is
stated that only few votes will be cast
in opposition.
Senator White of California said that
while he did not approve of the course
of Secretary Francis during the cam
paign. he would vote for his contirma-
ton Both Democratic and Republican
senator's who are silver men stated that
they would vote for confirmation ond it
was a foregone conclusion that when the
vote was taken the secretary would be
confirmed.

bills of minor Importance, on the 18th, the
House plunged into a warm controversy
over 4 bill to make oleomargarine and other
limitations of dairy products subject 10 the
laws of the states into which they are trans
ported The author of the BILL Mr. Grant
(Vt.) led the fight for it, and it was opposed
by the Democrats and several Republicans,
chiefly on the ground that it would give
the states power to prohibit the use of such
products. The House got into parliament
tary struggle over the measure on account
of the determination of Mr.. Cannon Qll1
to secure more time for its consideration,
and adjourned leaving ir unfinished One
of the Senate bills passed was to withdraw
from the Supreme court criminal cases 9th
err than capital. and leave jurisdiction over
them TO the courts of appeals.
The House spent almost the entire day
on the 18th in debating the Circuit bill to
subject oleomargarine and other imitation
dairy products to the laws of the states
into which they are transported. The bill
was finally passed 126 to SO. The adyo
Gates of the measure took the view that
the states should be allowed to regulate
the sale Of a product sailing under false
cOlorS, and the opponents held that the bill
would establish dangerous precedent, and
invade the power of Congress to regulate
Interstate commerce.

BATTLESHIP WISCONSIN.
Inspection of the Armor on Our
Ship Shows it TO be Up to
the Standard.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 13.-Con-
structor Dashiel has just returned to
the navy department. from Bethlehem,
where he inspected the steel plates be-
ing rolled for the battleship Wisconsin,,
now building at the Union Iron works,
San Francisco This material was
found to be fully up to specifications.
The steel inspection board is going inn
mediately to Newport News under the
instructions of Secretary Herbert to
look again at the big stock of steel
plate accumulated there for the Kear-
sarge and Kentucky, with a view to
modifying the present methods of in
Spection, which have been the subject of
complaint as unduly retarding the
building of the ship.
The board leaves here impressed with
the belief that while the constructor i'll
charge there has not gone beyond the
legal requirements in any sense in test
ing all suspected plates, it will be pos
sible to simplify and hasten the inspec-
ton by dividing the plates into groups
according to the number in each
cheat" and selecting for test one plate
from each group. 1t is believed also
that if more care is shown in working
the plates, to avoid bending them while
cold, there will be less complaint Of
cracking.

Curious Tree Now Known to Grow
but in One County.
Perhaps the oldest natural curiosity of
the Christmas was Wagonload of white
redwood from Sonoma county. Mr.. Orr,
who is interested III that part of Califor-
MA, sent large quantities of redwood sap
ings TO town for Christmas trees. and
by way of variety included some "ever-
whites" The bark and wood are not
different from the common redwood, but
one distinct dissimilarity marking the
freakish tree. Wherever there is green
III the redwood there is white in this one
that is to say. the young shoots and the
leaves are white, with something of a
Waxen hue perceptible
There is only one white redwood to
be found in all the forests up the coast. =
explained Mr.. Orr. Christmas eve, "and
that grows on the Rule ranch, near
CaZadero. There used to be another
white redwood, but the forest fires came
along and killed it. leaving this one on
the Rule ranch"
Does it grow in dark place, hidden
by larger trees"
''Not at all. 1t has the sunlight all
around and through its branches There
is not a speck of green about it from
top to bottom. Nobody seems to know
why it is white, but it grows right along
like any other redwood tree"
Dr. Gustav Eisen of the Academy of
Sciences was deeply interested in this
tree when told about it.
'All trees of the pine species" said he.

is no pigment in the green of the red

THE MARINE ENGINEER.
An Officer with Vast Responsibilities who
Seldom Gets Much Credit

From the time, less than sixty years
ago, when the first steam vessel crossed
the Atlantic, the evolution of the ma
rine engineer has been rapid. but he is
the one class of marine craftsman that
above all others has kept pace with the
developments of this fast-speeding age,
and he stands today the most finished
product of Il century that has created
more types and more new occupations
than any that has preceaed it. The ma
rine engineer today is more important
than any deck officer, but his Importance
is us little recognized by the non-seafar-
ing man as his identity is concealed from
the view of those who travel in ships
Down in the bowels of the vessel he
controls not only the propulsion, but the
steering, lighting, pumping, anchoring
and ventilation of the modern marine
structure, and on the warship he, is even
responsible for the manipulation of heavy
guns. The eyes that steer the ship are
those of the officer of the watch but the
brain that guides the ship to her des-
tination and regulates her internal econ
omy is the brain of the marine engineer
His is the real responsibility, and we
are afraid, his is the least share of the
honor that is given to those who serve
their country or their employers with
courage and devotion on the sea.
All the world heard of the gallantry of
Capt. Kane of the Calliope in working
his ship out of the Samoa anchorage in
the teeth Of a cyclone; who heard of the
struggle of the engineer officers with the
machinery down below, and how many
know even the names of them Pail

SCOFIELD'S MESSAGE.
Annual Address to the State
Legislature.
Condition Of the States Finances---Rec-
concentrations Made.

To the Honorable the Legislature: The
constitution directs that the governor shall
communicate to the Legislature at every
session the condition Of the state and recon-
mend such matters to them for their consld-
GRAFTON as he may deem eXpedient.
Before proceeding to perform this duty,
/ desire to congratulate you ana the people
of the state upon the fact that nOtWltn-
standing the severe financial and industrial
crisis through which the country has passed
sIfce 1893, Wisconsin has not suffered
greatly.
Our state possesses so great variety of
resources, aud the character Of our popula-
tion is such, that no ordinary disturbance Ill
the industrial world can seriously affect us.
While we have felt therefore the stringent
times, and while many people within the
state are ont Of employment and many i'll
than some Of our sister states a fact for
which we should be profoundly grateful.
There will be submitted to you the reports
OF the various state othcers ana the heads
Of departments, each Of which contains rec
concentrations for the Improvement or the
public service. These reports will. | have
no doubt, receive the careful attention
which they deserve.
The trust imposed upon your honorable
body as one OF the branches OF the state
government, is q highly important one.
Each member of the Legislature is chosen,
not especially to represent his own section,
but rather as a representative of the state
and its varied interests. Upon each mem.
Der, therefore, rests the responsibility or
furthering those interests which affect the
welfare of the entire state.
Finances.
The financial system of our state is one of
the simplest that has been conceived for
meeting the wants Of large and growing
commonwealth. 1t is. though simple, ade-
quate to meet all the claims upon it, ana
we have the pleasing fact to record that,
in the framing of laws and the planning for
the states welfare, but little attention is
required to be given to financial plans.
l append herewith statement of the con-
dition of the state funds on December 81,
