The California Deadlock.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, Sacramento,
Jan. 2.-I do not think this dead
lock will be broken until the report
OF the investigating committee is in"
said Assemblyman Lardner to-day.
Sand maybe not then, but whether
or not you may look for develop
ments. 1t is likely the report will
be submitted tomorrow"
Evidently everyone else is Of the
same opinion. Just one ballot suf-
feed to-day to demonstrate that no
effective politics has been done these
last twenty-four hours. Even the
"honoraries" polled their usual
strength, and Senator Simpson pro-
posed the customary adjournment
1t carried without dissent, and II
o'clock noon tomorrow is the APP
pointed hour for the next attempts

British Cruiser Dispatched to Samoa.
WELLINGTON, N. u, Jan. 22.-The
British third-class cruiser Royalist
has been dispatched to Samoa, fol-
lowing the Tauranga, which left on
Friday.
Warships OF three powers are be-
ing hurried to Samoa. England and
Germany have each gunboat there
already. Three cruisers of England's
Australian squadron are on the
way. Germany is rounding up her
feet in the Pacific and the battleship
Oregon will probably have another
chance to show her quality in q
dash to Apia. She is now about al
Honolulu and the chances are that
the Iroquois, which sails to-day fol
Hawaii, will carry her instructions
to proceed to Samoa.

ANXIETY As TO
HAWAIIAN BILL.
Poor Prospect for Island
Legislation.
Chinese Immigration Causes Appre
hension- Since the Decision of
the Supreme Court of Ha-
wall the Subject is
Left All in
tumble.



WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The sup
porters in the Senate of the bill for
the government of the Hawaiian
Islands as a territory OF the United
States are growing somewhat anx-
ious over the prospect. In view of
the crowded condition of the calen-
dar and the apparent Indifference
toward Hawaiian legislation, they
express the fear that the bill may
not receive attention before adjourn
ment, and they say if it does not
there will be most perplexiug con-
dition of affairs in the islands, which
became part of the Union by the
adoption OF the Newland's resolu-
ton in July last.
The decision of the Supreme
Court of Hawaii in the matter of
the landing of Chinese immigrants
in the islands is the immediate cause
OF the present apprehension. The
full text of this decision has now
been received in Washington and it
is found to be very far-reaching in
it's effect. 1t deals not only with
the landing of Chinese in Hawaii,
but also incidentally lays down the
doctrine that it is, as court, with
out jurisdiction in constituting laws
of the United States dealing with
other the Chinese immigr alton
question.
Discussing this phase Of the Ha-
waiian question Senator Cullom
who has charge Of the general bill
said to-day that the decision left
the people of he islands in a most
unsatisfactory predicament.
"Tbey do not know where they
stand" he said, "nor what to depend
on in the enforcement of the law
Important legal questions are likely
to arise at any time, and naturally
the Hawaiians want to know where
they stand"
Continuing, Senator Cullom said
he would call up the Hawaiian bill
as soon as there seemed auy posi-
bility of getting consideration, but
so long as the peace treaty main
tanned its present position it wal
impossible for him to say when thi
would be.
Inquiry develops the fact that
there would be opposition to thu
Hawaiian bill in it's present shape
and some Senators hesitate to &C
in this matter until there are fur
Their developments with reference to
Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philip
pines. There is a feeling among
Senators Of this class that any legis
lation in the interests of Hawai-
will be taken as precedent for the
other islands, and that hence the
Hawaiian question should be post
poneG until the legislation for al
the new acquisitions can be con
sidered together.
The Hawaiian advocates contenl
however, that that territory consti
tutes class of its own, and they ar
urging action at the present session
as a right which Hawaii can asser
now regardless of any other section
They contend that the Chinese de
cision accentuates this right anS
makes the question one of sucl
; weight that it cannot be postponed
The point is made that under tn
decision of the Hawaiian court i
could not take cognizance of tn
questions arising under our consti
tuition nor of admiralty cases, ant
> hence great confusion is probabl
T. until our laws are extended to tn
islands.

NAPHTHA STREET LIGHTING.
Comm issiOners Reply TO the Business
Mems AssOciatiOn,

The District Commissioners have rrc-
pared a reply to a letter recently received
by them from the Business Mems Associa-
tioB. requesting that the bids of local deal
ers for naphtha street lighting during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1900, be given
favorable consideration. The communica-
tion was signed by W. S. Knox, and stated
that it was understood that the following
bids had been submitted: American De-
velopment Company. of st. Paul, candle
power, per sample, 1929, at $3.50 per
lamp: the Pennsylvania Globe Gaslight
Company. of Philadelphia, candle vower,
per sample, 1890 at SEQ per lamp. and
Lawrence s. Nicolai, of this city, candle
power, per sample, 1922, at $3.50 per
lamp.
On this basis the Business Mems Asso-
citation estimated that the cost would be:
American Development Company, Sl.H per
candle power; Pennsylvania Globe Gas
light Company, s1.03 per candle power. and
l.. S. Nicolai, rs cents per candle power.
In view of these figures the association
suggested that the lowest bidder receive
the most favorable consideration provided
he could perform the service required
most satisfactorily.
The reply of the Commissioners mailed
tOudy Is DdSeu Ou
dation of Captain Beach, which explains
why the award was granted to the Ameri-
can Development Company instead of the
local bidder:
The specifications for furnishing naphtha lights
to the District for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1900, contains requirement that the light
furnished should be equal to sixteen candle pow
err and the bidders understood that if the sam.
pie furnished by them was not less than that in
tensity, they entitled to consideration in the
order of price and responsibility. II the Dis
triot were going 10 award the contract at a
tain price per candle power furnished as is
claimed by Mr.. Nicoiai should be done, it would
be necessary TO include such a provision in the
specifications. that other bidders would be
made aware of it.
The American Development Company, which is
the lowest bidder, informed the Commissioners
verbally upon the day OF the test that it pur-
posely kept its light close TO the specification
requirements. although it might have furnished
a higher cande-power had it tried TO do So
We're Mr.. Nicolai's contention to be admitted
it would be necessary for the Commissioners to
reject all bids received, and readvertise with
specifications permitting the price per candle
power to be considered, it is believed that
the only way fair competition can be obtained
is By furnishing all bidders with exactly the same
information prior TO the letting.

GERMANS EATING LESS MEAT.
Consul Hughes Reports on the De

Consul Hughes Reports on the De-
crease in Its Consumption.
The Bureau of Animal Industry of the
Department of Agriculture has received
through the Department of State COM
munication from Oliver J. D. Hughes. U.
S. Consul at Coburg. Germany, in relation
to the gradual decrease in consumption of
meat in that portion of the empire. AS an
illustration of this decrease Mr.. Hughes
quotes from a report just issued by the
royal slaughterhouse of the city Of. Murz-
burg, Bavaria.
This report shows that in spite of a
very large increase of the city's popula-
ton. both military and civic, the number
of food producing animals killed in 1898
was 224i less than in 1897. The consump-
ton per head of meats was 65.11 kilos in
1898 as against 65.95 in 1897. The total
consumption of meats in 1898 amounted to
). .O42. 900 Kilograms or 47.11o Kilograms less
than the previous year.
While there has been decrease in con-
sumption, the prices have increased. Bull
meat has increased pfennigs per kilo over
1897, OK (old) meat pfennigs. OK tyoung)
meat pfennigs. COW meat pfennigs, veal
3 pfennigs, and fresh pork pfennigs.
