REPORTERS NOTES ARE READ.

volcotf Rescnts the ldes OF Want Of Con-
fidence Among the People.
The reporters notes. quoting Mason,
were then read as follows: Il also un-
dcrstand that the people Of this country
are fast coming to the conclusion that
the real situation is not only being con-
ceaied from the people, but from the
members Of congress and senators.
I say that the people do lack
confidence in some of the departments
of the government. and they sometimes,
perhaps, do in this department.
Wolcott then continued. The senate
would. he said, bear him out that he did
not misquote the senator from Illinois
to the extent OF a single word or a
single syllable. ResumiEg, he said: Il
desire to resent as utterly unfounded
the suggestion that there is a patriotic
citizen in the broad confines of this land
who has not the fullest confidencein ev-
cry department Of this govern
ment, and the department CT
the navy particularly. 1t has been true
in every administration since the time
of Washington. The people Of the Unit
ed States have never yet acen called up
on to distrust one of the coordinate
branches Of this government. and they
never will while the flag floats.
Least of all is IL decent. in my opin-
ion, that in this chamber there should
be insinuations cast at this critical
time that there is a lack in the minds
of hn 81 he
confidence in the navy Of our country
From the time of Paul Jones until now
our ships have sailed in every war face
always to the foe. The records Of our
naval battles are the most glorious his
tory in the page of any country for the
last 100 years, and from the earliest
days until now there has never been a
step backwards. Today as always the
officers of our navy are honorable,
courageous. upright men, and above all
they tell the truth. The captain Of this
Inflated battleship was walking his deck
at 10 o'clock on the night of the 18th
when this awful explosion happened. 1t
may be that his public career is ended
forever.
But the awful disaster that overlook
his ship will count for nothing by COM
parison with the degrading insinuation
made here that an officer Of our coun-
try with the oath and with the flag
above him would lie and cast RESPONSE
bility where il did not belong All, Mr..
President, we can stand much of dis
cussion and debate: we can endure
much Of public discussion when there
should be silence; but there is one thing
this country can never stand, and that
Is to listen without resentment to an in
situation that the officers OF our navy
are not men Of honor and integrity and
Of truth. The officers appointed to in
vestigate win do their duty.

Mason had scarcely taken his seat
when Wolcott addressed the chair, ana
the words shot forth like a bomb. II
was evident from the Colorado senator's
countenance and manner-to say moth
ing Of the intensity Of his voice-that
he was labo.fng under considerable feel
irg. He had listened to Mason with i'll
concealed feelings Of emotion, his face
growing redder and his brow more and
more like a thunder-cloud as the Illi-
nois senator proceeded. He spoke with
great Iapidity, and occupied only a few
minutes of the senate's time, refusing
to be interrupted and speaking very
sharply when Mason sought to divert
him. Wolcott spoke as follows:
Mr.. President. the resolution Of the
senator from Illinois, however inop-
perfume 1t may be at this time In the
opinion of some of us. might well have
been permitted to pass without CON-
ment had 1t not been for the remarkable
utterance which he has given to the
fact that the people of these United
States have lost confidence in one Of the
great departments Of the government"
Mason had resumed his standing posi-
ton and he interrupted to say that the
senator from Colorado was entirely mis-
taken. Il made no such statement" he
said.

Twenty-second. Twenty fourth, Twen-
ty-sixth. Twenty eighth. Thirtieth,
Thirty sixth, Thirty eighth and For

eleven hold-overs, will give the Repub-

sixteen in the Senate. There is a good
prospect for the Republicans to also
carry the Sixteenth and Thirty fourth
Districts. There is no question but
that the Senate viii be Republican.
THE ASSEMBLY.
An analysis of the Assembly Dis
tricts indicates that the Republicans
will carry at least fifty out of the
eighty, with an even chance of carrying
five more. 1t would not be surprising
for the Republicans to have eighty
members out of 120 on joint ballot, or
two-thirds of both houses.
There is every indication that the
tWenty-third United States Senator to
be elected will be a Republican, and
that for the fourth time, not including

California will be represented in Con-

The farmer Of CALIFORNIA; must

eminent If he IL to prosper. What
has been the record Of the two
great political parties regarding
this question? The Republican
party has ever -striven to foster
and encourage the horticultural
interests Of California by means OF
favorable tariff legislation; the
Democratic party has always en-
deavored to break down and sweep
away this protection. The Mo
Kin1ey tariff placed rate Of 2
cents a pound on prunes and plums
in order to protect the California
product against the ruinous conn
petition Of Southern Europe. The
Wilson tariff reduced this to an
ad va1orem duty equivalent to less
than l cent pound. The Ding1ey
tariff has restored the duty of 2
cents. On figs the Mckinley rate
was 21a cents, the Wilson rate
equivalent to about l cent, and the
Ding1ey rate e cents. On raisins
the Mckinley rate was 211a cents,
the Wilson rate liz cents, and the
Dingley rate 21b cents. On oranges
the Mckinley rate was 10 cents a
cubic foot, the Wilson rate 8
cents, and the Dingley rate about
IL cents. On almonds the Nc
Kinley rate was cents, the Will
SON rate 3 cents, and the Ding1ey
rate 4 cents. On wa1nuts the Nc
Kin1ey and Ding1ey rates are 3
cents and the Wilson rate 2 cents.
