COME UP.
HOUSE WILL TALK SEALS.
EXPECTATION OF AN ADJOURN
MENT SATURDAY FOR THE
CHRISTMAS RECESS.
1t Includes Consideration of the I'M
migration BiII-Annexation
Prospects.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-If the pres
ent programme is carried out, congress
will adjourn for the holiday recess next
Saturday. The week in the house
promises to be made memorable for
the formal inauguration of the war
against the civil service law. The leg
islative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill, which will be taken up on
Tuesday, contains the regular appropri-
atoms for the civil service commission,
and whether or not all the members
who favor the repeal or modification
of the law unite to strike down the
provision for it's maintenance as the
quickest and most direct method Of
Gripping it's operation, undoubtedly
some will advocate this course, and the
whole civil service question will be
dragged into the arena Of debate. How
long the debate will last it is impossi-
BILE to predict, but as this is the only
item in the bill which will attract much
of a contest, Chairman Cannon hopes
and believes the bill can be passed be-
fore Saturday. This latter day, under
an order made on Thursday, has been
set aside for paying tribute to the
Cooke, of illinois, Tomorrow Chairman
Hit, of the foreign affairs committee,
will again seek to secure the passage
of a bill to prohibit pelagic sealing by
citizens of the United States. There is
some very strong opposition to the
passage of this measure in its present
form, and the whole business question
of the Boring sea negotiations may be
precipitated when it is called UP. Mr..
Hopkins, of Illinois, and other members
favor a limitation on the period of the
operation of the act, If it is to be pass
ed, Sc that in case Great Britain re-
fuses to restrict similarly her citizens
our citizens may not be placed at
disadvantage. Others, like Mr.. john
son, of North Dakota think the eXtin-
guishment of the seal herds in the near
future is certain and are not disposed
to favor any legislation looking to their
preservation.
IN THE SENATE.
The work of the senate. so far as it
has been mapped out for the week, in
cludes the consideration Of the immi-
grafton BILL which stands on the calen-
dar as the unfinished business, the
piODdDle uSDdle Oh ing CELSIUS DilI, anu
the pronouncing of edlogles upon the
late Representative Holman, of In
diana. The general opinion among
friends of the measure is that there
will be no very strenuous opposition
to the immigration bill, and that 1t may
be passed after brief debate. When
a similar bill was before the senate last
session it had its principal opponents
IN Senator Gibson, of Maryland, and as
he has retired from the senate the
friends of the bill are hopeful that no
one will be found who will feel called
upon to champion its operation. They
remember. however. that when it was
necessary in order to have the bill be-
come a law to pass 1t over the presi-
dents veto, the two-thirds vote re-
quisite for that purpose could not be
secured. Hence while they are hopeful

NOT TO THE KLONDIKE.
But to the Gulf of California for Gold.
VIII Encounter Dangers.

VIII Encounter Dangers.
When the westbound Southern Pa
cific passenger pulled out yesterday af-
ternoon there were five San Antoni-
ans aboard who will return loaded
down with gold, or know the reason
why, should they not yield the desired
results. These five are not going to
the frigid Klondike, for they do not
believe it necessary to go that far
from home to get gold.
Their destination is the Gulf of Cal
ifornia. They will ride on the South
ern Pacific as far as Benson, AriZ., a
distance of SS7 miles from San Anto-
Mo. Here they will take the Sonora
railroad for NOgales, Mex, and then
proceed to Guaymas, ON the western
coast of Mexico. They will cross the
Gulf of California, and landing ON the
peninsula will make their stopping
place at La Paz. They will conduct
their operations on a small island in
the gulf.
This island is said to be inhabited
by cannibal Indians, and it is hardly
known that white man who sets foot
on this isle ever gets away alive.
These Indians are very savage, as
their name suggests. But this island
is said to contain an inexhaustible
supply Of wealth.
The party consists of Edgar John
son, John Rieden, G. Ii. Busse, III. Il.
Stevens and II. Glass. They are well
supplied with clothing and there is no
immediate danger of them encounter
ing any hardships for lack of food.
The railroad fare over the Southern
Pacific cost them $50, and they have
few dollars left to live on and for
return tickets.
Their purpose is not alone to active
ly engage in the search for gold, but
to speculate as well. There are peO-
pie who have become rich that have
never dug an ounce of gold" said Mr..
johnson. Mr.. l.. Orinski, the former
druggist of this city, is in that coun-
try, and is doing well. You see, it is
always best to be on the ground to
see how everything goes than to be
specializing on any wild reports that
you might hear. Even if our trip
proves unsuccessful we will not be
disappointed. We will have a good
time while we are there, for we are
prepared for that. and when we return
we will have a lot of experiences to
relate"
A few days ago a party of nine San
Antonians headed by Otto Kroeger
left for that country to cast their for
tune, and it is likely that others will
follow.

Last night Beethoven hall was COM

and most congenial audiences that

in the history of cur city. 1t was The
occasion of the celebration of the half
centennial of the institution of Alamo
lodge, No. fl, A. L. and A. NJ.
Any one who had the pleasure of
witnessing this assemblage, composed
of venerable heads of families, OF
splendid young people, of Masons and
their wives, daughters and sisters,
would understand how firm the basis
OH which our social life in this city is
founded.
\ very pleasant program was carried
out under the management of the COM
mittee, including music, instrumental
and vocal. Prof. Carl Beck presided
over the music. The basso solo by
MIR. Gilbert Schram was one of the
features of the entertainment, while
the vocal duet by Misses Oce and
Ayers was greatly enjoyed. These
young ladies show great merit and
culture. The address delivered by
Gen. McLearv and Judge Fly Were
appropriate to the occasion. Miss
Wood contributed to the entertainment
by giving two recitatiOns. The crown
ing event of the evening was the splen,

lowed.

The elder Beckmann, the veteran black

cared for the widow and orphan.
The life and history of such lodge
forms a part of the history of our city.
Alamo lodge deserves congratulation.
As Gen. McLeary explained, in reciting
its different halls and that today it
had no home of its own, that Alamo
lodge had spent its funds retire wing the
distress and caring for the hundreds
of strangers who had come to her in
search of health. In deeds of charity
and relief, it has built up an honorable
name, but in worldly goods it is poor.
