THE NEWTOWN SHOALS.
State Engineers Are Sounding to Ascer-
tain Whether the Obstruction Is
Sand or Rock

J. s. Price of Sacramento, one of the
Engineers of the Roads and Highways
Commi> sion and consulting engineer to
the Commission OF Public Works, arrived
in the City last evening and registered at
the Grand Hotel. The Legislature at its
last session appropriated 100000 to
deepen and rectify the channels OF the
San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers. Mr..
Price, in speaking of the proposed work,
said last evening that Engineers Nourse
and Randall were making tests at New
town shoals, where the Sacramento River
EN- ptes into Suisun Bay, to ascertain the
substance of the shoals and determine
whether the material is sand or rock.
The observations formerly made varied
so much on that point that the board
deemed it best that an examination
should be made.
The engineers have sounded to a depth
OF eighteen or twenty feet below low
water and encountered only sand. One
report is to the effect that hard pan was
struck under the sand. This is supposed
to be packed or cemented sand.
Mr Price believes that the substance,
whatever it NAV be- should be removed in
order to stimulate the current OF the
river. lie holds that dynamite would
readily loosen the packed sand and the
current would do the rest OF the work

Senators Not Eager to
LegiSlate Against
Them.
A Tariff Bill With No Anti
Combine Provision Is
Probable.
No Desire to Stir Up Discussion
and Delay the Passage of
the Measure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 27.-It
begins TO appear that unless specifica-
tons are issued by a caucus of Republican
Senators no antitrust provision will be
included m the tariff bill as it passes the
Senate. When the subject was discussed
in caucus a week ago so great a diversity
OF opinion was expressed that it was re-
ferred to the Republican members of the
Committee on Judiciary, who were to pre-
pare an amendment which should meet
all exigencies
One meeting of the Republicans was had.
at which the basis for proposed amend
ment was agre ed to, and it was turned
over to Thurston TO BE put into shape for
hnal adoption. Since then no meeting OF
the Judiciary Committee mem bers has
been held, and the caucus adjourned last
Thursday night without touching the
subject.
a member said to-day that the Finance
Com mmlttee was giving the matter no at
tention. Some Senators think that the
legislation on the statute books now, in
Guiding the antitrust provisions of the
present tariff BILL is sufficiently compre-
hensive, and that the introduction Of any
Thing additional would not only add
nothing to its effectiveness, but would
also cause discussion, with no other prac-
tical result than to delay the passage Of
the bill.
The r publican members of the FL
nance Committee hold nightly sessions,
trying 10 settle several unsettled points.
The paragraphs that have been passed
over are enough to keep the Senate busy
before the time expires for a final vote
without entering upon any new fields.
The section relating to reciprocity alone
promises to be generally discussed and
its form is not yet finally determined.

The body of an unknown man was found
floating in the bay off Beale street yes erday
afternoon by two young fishermen, LOUIS
Backstein and c. Holden. The body
