Washington. Dec. 19.-AS a result of a ruling by Vice President Sher- man that a senator having a pair with another senator could be count ed to make up a quorum. the senate today on the motion of Senator Hale refused to accept that dictum over ruling it by 37 to r.

The senate passed a few minor bills and adopted the house resolution agreeing to adjourn on Wednesday for the Christmas recess, reconvening January ,.
 The house early in the session fell into a parliamentary wrangle which developed when the bill to codify the postal laws was taken up. The meas ure was still under consideration when the house adjourned.

Sacramento, Dec 19.-The CalifOr- mia coast is totally unprepared for war, believes Adjutant General J.

 We should have sixteen companies of coast artillery, fourteen of them fin San Francisco" said General Lauck today, whereas at present we have but nine. seven in San Francisco and two in San Diego. That's why the war department desires us to or ganize more companies.
 "Our great difficulty is not in or ganizing, but rather in securing hOus- ing facilities. If i've had buildings suitable for housing and taking care of the organization. similar to those of other large cities. there is no question in my mind but we would have full ranks and more men than we really need. A sufficient appro- priation for such a building in San Francisco amounting to S42O0OO was made by the legislature two years ago but so far not a shovel of earth has been turned to make the con struction of that building possible"

He and his hack were lined up at the Southern Pacific depot last evening when the train from Maricopa pulled in. Like many other hackmen, he immediately began a hunt for a fare. And he was successful, too.
 While he was exercising his lungs he found a valise placed in one hand and a bunch of trunk checks in the other Two people climbed into the hack. while the third issued instruc- tions as to the carrying of the trunks and the destination. It was a busy few minutes for him.
 In a trice he had secured the trunks from the baggage room. placed them on the step and closed the hack door. behind the third passenger. And then he proceeded to mount to the drivers seat.

those interested can make further in- quiry personally. It consists. though, of pipes laid under the surface just below the blow depth, perforated so the water eXudes from below whenever the valve is turned letting it into the system. One advantage is that so long as the source of the water is the highest point on the field the ground does not have to lay at such a perfect slope as when irrigated by ditches. The pipes may conform somewhat to the natural topography of the field. But the greatest ad- vantage is that as there is no soaking of ditches and evaporation from open waterways all the water goes into the ground, just where it is wanted.
 Mir Davie says his experience the past summer was that it required one gallon per minute per acre to irrigate his patch, or about one-eighth of the amount of water used for ditch irri- gatiOn This water does not come from the canal, but from a drilled we'll eighty feet deep. equipped with a two horse power gasoline engine and pump, running about One-third of the time. To irrigate a tract all he has to do is to turn a valve. The install lation of the pipes costs $40 per acre. but it would take a great deal more than the interest on $40 to pay the operating expenses of irrigation under the ditch system. How extensively the Wiggins system may be used there will depend on various things, but as far as the present experiment goes it has been a fine success for this season. and it will be tried on a much larger acreage. And every acre SO irrigated takes that much duty off the ditch system, so it is the con viction of the projectors that the water supply of the Marinette country is settled problem.
 As indicated, Mir. Davie is not the only man interested in Marinette. He is merely a pioneer and representing a goodly number of others who are willing to spend a little money to back up their faith. Messrs. Hundley x Miller and Skinner X Knecht of California. recently organized what is to be known as the Marinette Fruit Lands company. It plan% to cut it's $500 acres up into ten-acTe plats. tO be planted to oranges and to be water ed by the Wiggins system.
 Arthur Reynolds of Denver has 80 acres and he has authorized Mir. Davie to plant one half of it to oranges for him the coming spring. and has all ready let a contract for the drilling of a well. Some others will most likely plant oranges in the coming spring also.
 The Southwestern Sugar company is also plating its $500 acres into ten acre tracts to be known as the Or chard Town of Marinette. It is not the plan of the projectors to make it a great city like New York or Phoenix and move the capitol building out there. but they do- believe that they will in a very few years have the most ideal suburban settlement of happy, prosperous and progressive fruit groNers that ever picked out an ideal place for development and achieved it by intelligent cooperation and the expenditure of a little cash money. in a way that will return big interest on permanent investment

THE ISLAND oUAKED.

New York. Dec l9-The. heart of Manhattan island was shaken this morning by a terrific explosion of il- luminating gas in the auxiliary power house of the Grand Central station. Nine persons, two of them women, were killed, 125 were injured and property damaged to the extent of S3.000.000. Four workmen are missing and are believed to have perished. and of the 125 injured ninety eight were removed to hospitals. Of those, eight may die. An investiga- ton by the police is under way.
 Traffic in the New York Central railroad station ceased entirely for some hours, and was disorganized the rest of the day, but the new station it. self. now in process of construction, was not damaged.
 The dead:
 NICOLI GALUCCI.
 PATRICK JORDAN.
 C. McMARROW.
 JOHN RYAN, all laborers.
 E. B. LIVERMORE, Pullman car in- spector.
 EDITH OPENER, stenographer.
 MARY B. POPE, of Boston. Mass.
 CHARLES ROBERTS. expressman.
 FRANK STAGG, watchman.
 The injured include laborers and oth- CT employees of the railroad. pedestri- ans, bystanders and others in the vii cinity of the accident.
 A passing surface car, carrying seven passengers, was lifted from its tuucks and hIeled into an automobile running alongside. Four of the seven were killed outright. But the chauffeur of the motor car was only cut and bruised.
 For some hours it was believed that dynamite alone could have wrought such havoc. but late in the afternoon Fire Chief Croker said he was con- vinced that the explosion was due to a mixture of air and Illuminating gas used in lighting railroad cars, touched off by an electric spark The gas had accumulated in the auxiliary power house from a broken pipe. snapped by by runnaway passenger car.
 The force of the explosion ran north and south from one to two miles along a rocky ridge the backbone of the is- land, and east and west laterally for a mile foundations were jared, walls shaken out of plumb. windows blown in by the thousands. and ceilings came crashing down on the heads of those  beneath. and the pavements were lit tered with pulverized glass.

 By testimony. the time of the break in the pipe was about o'clock. Two clocks stopped by the jar fixed the time of the explosion at S:22.

It Has Reduced the Price of Coal
 in Utah.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 19.-A fifty-cent raise in the price of coaf' which went into effect early in No vember, was taken off today and further reduction is predicted.
 The first steps have been taken by state officials to revoke the state charters of the Union Pacific Coal company and the Utah Fuel company on the ground that they formed "a conspiracy in violation of the law of the state. The state prosecution of the alleged trust will not be affected by the reduction in price, which is now $5.75 at retail.
