ON URGENT APPEAL.
Senate Votes 10 Admit Ship 10 AmerI-
can Repfstry.

During the latter part of the session Of
the Senate yesterday Mr.. Frye of Maine.
who was in the chair called Mr.. Carter of
Montana to the chair in order that he
| might report a bill from the committee
| on commerce. He said that he regretted
exceedingly to admit to American register
| a foreisn-built ship. but in the case In hand
it seemed necessary, although 1t did appear
| to be a sort of blackmail that tine War
Department was levying upon Congress in
| making the request. The bill provided
for the admission to American registry of
| the steamer Zelandia. Mr.. Frye said he
| had just received a telegram from the War
Department urging that the bill be passed,
as the ship had been chartered to convey
troops to Manila.
Mr.. Pettigrew inquired where the ship
was built.
Mr.. Perkins replied that the steamer be-
longed to the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany, and was under the Hawaiian flag,
although she was British built.
Mr.. Pettgrew objected to the considera-
ton of the bill
A chorus of protests rose from all parts
of the chamber.
Mr.. Teller went to Mr.. Pettigrcw and
appealed to him personally TO withdraw
his objection.
Mr.. Frye exposed the hope that the OBJ
lection would be withdrawn. as Mr.. PEI
comforting American register upon a for
eign ship that he had, but ia this instance
1T seemed absolutely necessary, as the War
Department had completed the charter Of
the vessel and its services were seriously
needed.
Finally Mr.. Pttigrew said that at the
earnest solicitation of friends on both sides
of the chamber he would withdraw his OBJ
lection, particularly the War Depart
ments desire for the vessel was the only
manifestation of haste he had noticed since
the war began.
The bill was then passed.
The Senate. at 5:15 pm, went into ex-
ecutive session.
In Executive Session.
The Senate, in executive session yester-
day. confirmed the following nominations:
William F. Airey, to be marshal of the
United States for the district of Mary
land.
Joseph F. Doyle, to be postmaster at Sa-
vannah. Ga.
The Senate spent more than an hour in
an effort to confirm the nomination of Col
lin p. Anthony as postmaster at Scotland
Neck, N. c. Anthony is colored man.
ard he was opposed on the ground that he
Is saloon keeper. Senators Priichard
and Wolcott defended him. An aye and
no vote developed the lack OF a quorum,
and the Senate adjourned without action.
The vote taken showed a small majority
against Anthony.

pears, upon Investigation. that the air under
goes greater changes than the sea docs. And
1t also becomes very evident that at the edges
OF vast tract like North America. the range
in the course OF year is not wide in
the interior.
In New-York City, for instance. several years
may elapse without the thermometer either
reaching 100 n summer in winter. but
those extremes have been exceeded. II course.
IT would be safe to say that the average range
here is less than Ion degrees. although he ab-
soute range is 4 trfe more tran that Charles
ton experiences about lne same annual range,
although her mean annual temperature is higher
than New-York's.
Around in the Gulf OF Mexico the oscillation
is smaller. At Key West. Mobile. New-O Orleans
and Galveston the difference between the cX-
trcmes Of summer and winter IS seldom over 10
degrees. At san Francisco ard san Diego the
range is yet narrower usually 90 n less. though
if the lowest for several years and tn highest

range for those cities is about 81.
