THEIR DARING

The Brave Grew of the Merrimack
Will be Promoted.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-When the
house conyenes tomorrow, a resolution
will be introduced calling on the
secretary of the navy to ascertain and
report TO congress. immediately, the
names of the seven men who with
Naval Constructor Hobson. formed the
crew of the Merrimac, just before she
was sunk in the channel at the en-
trance TO the barbOr at S ,ntiago. 1t
is the present intention to offer reso-
luton of thank TO each one Of the
eight men by name.
The fact that Cervera, under flag of
truce, sent to Sampson his recognition
of the magnificent act of gallantry,
is an indication ttat in volunteering to
man the Merrimac, the eight men who
are now prisoners of war in Santiago
performed an act, the peril of which
can scarcely be appreciated at this
distance, and that there should have
been 400 eager to volunteer for duty,
demonstrates more forcibly than could
be demonstrated in any other manner
that the American navy is composed
of men who can be depended on for
any SOFT Of perilous duty on any occa-
sion.
Every one of the Merrimac's crew is
certain to be promoted as soon as re-
leased, and it is likely that some
means will be devised whereby war;
rants or commissions will be provided
for the enlisted men.

One of the most extraordinary sea-
weeds among the Laminariacea is the
Nereocystis, the stem of which occasion
ally attains a length of 300 feet, though
extremely slender, even at the top,
where it is surmounted by huge float
ing bladder six feet or seven feet in
lcpgth, that affords favorite resting
place to the sea otter. This plant is
found on the northeast coast of
America and the opposite shores OF
Asia. The filiform stem, which is
about as thick as pack-thread, sudden
ly swells above, when two feet or three
feet long, into globose bladder, from
the top of which springs tuft of ger
inmate leaves mostly rising on five
petioles. AS the plant grows older the
stem increases enormously in length.

giobose bladder swells into turnip-
shaped or retort-ike cyclinder, six fee.
long and four feet six inches or mora in
diameter in the widest part, the lower
extremity gradually passing into thu
stem. The leaves, which at first were
marked with few faint nerves, split in
the direction of the latter, cover wide
space by their entangled mass, and at.
tain length Of so feet OF more. When
the plant grows in any quantity, il
forms large floating islands, and the
surface of the sea becomes impossible
to boats. The stem, when dry, is en-
ployed by the Aleutians for fishing
lines, some OF which have length OF
40 or more fathoms. The large bladders
are used by the same people as syphons
for pumping water out of their boats

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
Congress About Completed the Work of
his Session

Congress About Completed the Work of
This Session
WASHINGTON, June Sit isbelieved
by many people here that Senator
Hanna's declaration that congress
will adjourn by June 20 means taht
the republicans of the senate and
house have made a general agreement
upon the features of the war revenue
measure and that the bills time in
conference will consequently be short.
Chairman Oingley, OF the, house
ways and means committee, is quoted
as saying that most OF the provisions
of the bill inserted by tho senate
would be eliminated in the house
and that the bill would finally pass
substantially as it left the house in the
first place. This positive adatement
would hardly be made by Mr.. Dingley
unless he had acme assurance as to
what the senate would 6nally acquiesce
in when the bill is in confer
Mr.. Dingley is understood TO admit
that some of the senate amendments
will stand, but his intimatiou is that
they will be OF an unimportant kind,
For instance, he says Wolcott's pro.
vision for coipage of seignoriage will
nave TO go, and that the house section
relative to the sale of bonds will be
restored. 1t is judged that the con-
cessions to the senate will lie largely
in some details of the tax on speoisl
articles, like tobacco.

Monterey Leaves Mare Island.

VALLEJO, Cal, June 3.-The

this afternoon for San Francisco. She
will probably sail Sunday. AS the
vessel steamed away from the dock
she was greeted with cheers from
hundreds of sailors and people on the
shore who witnessed her departure
All the steam whistles in the vicinity

the bay. The collier Brutus, which is
