SEA.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Jan. A story
of Southern Pacific construction work
comes from Sonora Mexico. The COM
pany now owns and operates a road
from Nogales, Arizona, to Guymas, on
the Gulf of California. The line under
construction is an extension Of this
road down the coast to Mazatlan,
thence to Guadalajar a distance of
$40 miles. At Guadalajara connec-
ton will be made with the Mexican
Central, leading to the City of Mexi-
co, and this new line wnen completed

to Mexico City, as compared with the
present route. The company is also
under contract to construct several
branches to important mining prop
critics, one of these being to the La
Buffe mines on Yquai river, 40 miles
from Guaymus. The contract requires
the completion of this branch by May.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 4.-The
steamship schooner Kruger arriving
this morning from Portland and AS

steamer City of Pueblo at 9 yesterday
morning, 80 miles off Point Gorda
in tow of the steamer Chehalis. Later
reports state that the Pueblo has

At 80 this morning the Pueblo

Captain Jepson, carrying 200 passen-

encountered last Saturday the Pueblo
suffered a break in her tail shaft and
was left helpless to toss upon the sea.
Vainly striving to keep her course her

at last forced to give up and proceed
the news from Seattle to the effect
that the Ppeblo had been picked up by
the steam schooner Chehalis, Captain
Jonannson and was bound southwark.
Fearful that the vessel had gone adrift
or misfortune had overtaken the Che

ordered the Spreckles tug relief to
search for the disabled vessel Shortly
after noon the Pueblo was anchored
safely off Meigs wharf. Following
quarantine inspection the craft pro-

9th of December passes about as do
and then the chefs and stewards Guido
themselves in providing an elaborate
menu and in table decorations.
IF the weather is fine, as it is likely
to be, the passengers are in high spir-
it's, for the Christmas feeling is infec-
tious, no matter where you 60. To
ward the end Of the dinner speeches
are made, songs are rendered, stories
are told and toasts are given, and when
this is completed all go to the main sa-

under the big skylight. It is big tree,
too, just as big as can be obtained and
put in place, and on it are hung gifts
from the ship for every passenger-not
costly at all, but membranes that
are likely to be long preserved as SOU

the sea is not high, the candles are
lighted, and the tree bursts into beauti-

after the distribution of gifts from
the tree a concert is given if the weather

passengers go on deck, which they find

LAW WILL PREVENT CIVIL WAR
VETERANS FROM DIsPosING
OF PRIVILEGES.
United States Government May Re-
ouire That All Certificates be
Used Within Two Years.

Secretary Hitchcock has submitted
to congress a recommendation for the
repeal of section 2306, revised statutes,
known as the Soldiers Additional
Homestead Law" This act was
passed in 1872 and gave a soldier VINO
served in the civil war the right to
make a second homestead entry for
$50 acres, is the report that comes
from Washington city.
The commissioner of the general
land office, in a letter supporting the
repeal suggestion, says that under de-
cisions of the courts, the scrip issued
to soldiers having this right of addi-
tional entry is property and transfer
able as such. Other laws have since
been passed which give practically the
same right, so that the original act
has lost it's effect But there are
quantities of outstanding scrip, for
which spectators are paying from SO
to SIS per acre.
Right to Lapse in Two Years.
The secretary's suggestion is that
all outstanding rights must be eXer-
cised within two years, and after that
time the right of additional entry is
to lapse.
Commissioner Richards says that
the recommendation for the repeal of
this law seems to be amply supported
by the fact that many of those rights
have been and doubtless will be here
after made the basis of forged state
ments and fraudulent entries.
The fact that this scrip is now be-
ing retailed at from SO to SIS per acre
shows that it has outlived the pur-
pose for which congress originally in
tended it and suggests that it is now
being used in the acquisition of lands
valuable for timber or otherwise,
which would not in all probability be
entered under the ordinary provisions

A Marine Plant That Grows "a Stem
Three Hundred Feet Long.
The largest marine plant and proba
bly, one Of the highest plants known on
this globe is Il gigantic seaweed, the
nereocyStiS, the stem of which has
been found to grow as much as 300
feet long. 1t was first discovered not
far from the Alaskan coast. but has
since been found floating in various
parts of the Pacific ocean along the
American and Asiatic shores. This
seaweed grows in a very curious man
ner Large quantities of 1t are found
at little distance from shore and at
depths not exceeding 300 feet. On
loamy bottoms large thickets of this
plant take root. and stem of the
thickness of ordinary cord grows up
ward At its top there is pear shaped
balloon, which grows with the stem,
and when it reaches the surface of the
water it often measures six feet and
more in length, with a diameter of four
feet six inches. This balloon has, Of
course, an upward tendency and keeps
the stem growing until it floats on the
surface of the water. From the top of
this balloon large tuft of strong.
thick, spadelike leaves grow out, which
originally are not more than two feet
long and which grow and split until
from the balloon a roselike growth of
from fifty TO sixty-five feet i'll diane
ter covers the water. This gigantic
weed grows in such quantities that
near the shore large meadowlike is
lands are formed. which impede navi-
