The subject of rural free delivery was introduced by Maddox (D.) of Georgia. who claimed that certain States had ! been favored in the establishment of routes. This allegation resulted in a lively discussion. Crumpacker (R.) of Indiana defend- | ed the course pursued by the adminis- | tration in dealing with the Central American situation and replied to criti- ns wkich have -been made on the osite sice of the chamber. Crumpacker, in a colloquy with Wil- the minority leader, asked if it 't true the Democrats were will- ing to accept the stolen goods if per- mitted to dondemn the act of taking. Wiiliams replied that while they could not recognize the character of the child they could treat it properly. Maddox (D.) of Georgia, replying to Crumpacker, said he had arraigned the party for statements made by a few members of the m rity. He then spoke on the rural free delivery. He roduced figures and declared that of the 15,000 routes established last June more than one-third were ated in four States—Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and Tliine d that the first named two ates more routes than twelve had Southern States which he named. Gardner (R.) of Massachusetts re- nlied to the remarks of Lind (D.) of A » freer trade rela- tions \\Hh Ca He said the cot- ton interests f this country would suf- fer if thrown into competition with la- bor in Quebec, which he declared to be underpaid, and where, he said. the standard of living was lower than in the cottéon manufacturing districts in this country. Gardner spoke of the fishing interests and how they would be ffected, and said the question of v shculd be approached se- 4 studied with care. D.) of Illinois said the Pana- now was an assured fact. o0 criticism to make regard- g the recognition of the new republic but exnressed the hope that free gov- ernment wou'd be given to the Philip- pines, which, he said, vielded unwill- ingly to Americ authority. He saw no objection tc the landing of Colom- bian trcons. In addition to <onstruc- tion of the Panama canal, he contended for the construction of a deep water- way from the Great Lakes to the Guif of Mex!ico. compared those who were controlled by influence to “a nest of young rob- standing with mouths wide open and ready to sweliow even a reciproc- ity worm if dropped by the parent bird the White House.” Replying to some of Aldrich's re- marks in the irse of Patter- son’s speech, Teller s2id that the su- Zar pr had asked no special fa- vor fcr th industry. “It does mot lie in the mouth of any man of the Renublican party to com ain- when we ask for the protecticn of an infant industry which falls within the rule laid down by the Republican party,” sa‘d he. —_———————— OF INTEREST TO PEOPL OF THE PACIFIC COAST Several Changes Are Made in the Postal Service and Patents Is- +sued to Inventors.

Torpe\lo-Bo-t Destroyers and Gunbeat Are Heavy With Stores. VALLEJO} Dec. 15.—The torpedo- boat destroyers Preble and Paul Jones left here.for San Francisco yesterday to be docked, as the ong- dock here is already full of ships and tugs. The boiler makers of the navy yard are at work onthe torpedo-boat destroyer Perry, endeavoring to hammer - and patch: her boilers into shape *by next Tuesday. ‘The Preble is. under orders to priceed to Panama and her stores are ready to go aboard. The Paul Jones and: Perry are to be ready to follow hér down the coast at an hour’s notice. Lieutenant Arthur MacArthur, who has been-‘in charge of the submarine boats Pfke and Grampus for some months,’ has been transferred to the Paul Jones. Qther officers are en route ftom the East under orders to duty on the- destroyers. The armored cruiser New York is expécted down from Bremerton navy yard within a few days and she may gonvey the destroyers to the isthmus, although experience on the Atlantic coast shows that the larger torpedo- Ibnats are able to take care of them- selves «in almost all kinds of weather. The gunboat Petrel is hurrying stores and ammunition on board and is to leave here Thursday morning and it is understood will proceed direct to Panama. The Petrel is the most heav- ily armed gunboat of her tonnage in the world, and her light draught makes her serviceable in comparatively shal- low water. The transnort Solace is*being loaded deep with many hundred tons of pro- visions, clothing and ammunition and will be ready to leave here in a day or two to intercept Admiral Evans' fleet at Honolulu. The Solace is like- ly to sail from here within the next twenty-four hours. She will stop at San Francisco for additional stores. The front of the navy yard is astir with the preparation of ships of war for sea and the assembling of stores and ordnance for the cruise, while the submarine boats Grampus and Pike are busy with evolutions in the bay. Boatswain Bernard Radcliff "has been detathed from .duty at Mare Island and ordered to training station at Goat Island. He will be succeeded by Doat- swain John M. A. Shaw. 5 . MARINES FOR ISTHMUS.

E CHWHAS CALL " g NEX’I‘ SUND(AY g AN CAUCUS RULE FOR MINORITY Democrats in Congres:a Decide to Vote as a Unit Upon All Party Issues That Arise WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—The Demo- cratic caucus to-day, after considerable opposition, passed a resolution declaring that caucus action of this party here- after should be binding and that all members should abide by such caucus action. Thé caucus -will assemble to- morrow, when, it is expected, the Pan- ama treaty will be taken up. The res- olution to make the caucus binding provides that any action so indorsed must have a two-thirds vote. The Panama canal situation was dis® cussed and it was developed that a sufficient numbér of Democrats would vote for the treaty to insure its rati- fication. The action of the Democratic cau- cus in making the future decrees of the caucus binding was not unanimous. Senator Cockrell opposed this propo- sition, saying that during the past fifty years such a proceeding was not re- garded as necessary by the Democratic party. To this the reply was made that the Democratic party had been in power but very little during the past fifty years. Senator Stone took issue with his colleague and favored firm caucus| action. When the vote was taken Sen- ator Cockrell, on account of his views, was excused from voting. Two other Senators voted against the proposition. Senator Mallory moved to exclude from the operations of the agreement the pending Cuban reciprocity bill and the Panama treaty, but this was voted down. It was stated that questions on which caucus action was to be taken | would be considered as they arose.

SEOUL, Dec. 15.—More rioting has | taken place at Mokphe and yesterday a Japanese mob wounded seventeen Koreans. High Korean officials are hurrying to Mokphe to try to quell the disorder. So far Russia has not inter- | fered. United States Minister Allen has de- | J Korean Government in regard to the. opening of the port of Wiju. Despite American, British and Japanese pres- sure, Rugsian influence over the Korean Government is apparently un- shaken, and it is expected that Korea will procrastinate, and, possibly, re-. fuse, eventually, to act at all. A feeling of unrest Is growing among the Korean people, who fear | that, whether it be peace or war be-| tween Russia and Japan, the exfinc-| tion of the empire is imminent. It is believed that the outbreak of hostili- ties or the announcement of a protec- torate of any kind will precipilute: trouble. TForeigners in Seoul expect' disorder and the American residents desire a warship. The Kerean army, | numbering 8000 men, is consldered{ .one of the most dangerous factors of the situation, . an insubordinate ele- ment being beyond official control.

One iIs aimed at the “get- rich-quick” concerns and at guessing contests, and includes the District of Columbia and “all territory within the Jjurisdiction of the United States” in the law forbidding the use of the mails for the transmission of lottery tickets. The bills were drawn in the law di- vision of the Postoffice D2partment. The act of 1860, forbidding lotteries, is amended by inserting the following language in the prohibitory section: “Or any person or company conduect- ing any competition or contest involv- ing the award of prizes and based upon the relative accuracy of guesses or esti- mates; or conducting any Scheme or device for betting, wagering or making pools on horseraces or other similar contests.” This amendment is held to be neces- sary by reason of the Attorney Gen- eral holding that contests which involve the award of prizes obtamed upon the relative accuracy of guesses or esti- mates as to the number of votes in a political election or the number of beans that a certain jar contains, ete., are not in violation of the present lot- tery laws. It is sought by the amendment also to protect the public against fraud as well as to suppréss gambling which accompanies betting on horses. Betting on horseraces has been held not to be within the purview of the lottery laws. | Consequently it is held that the only way by which these turf investment schemes can be suppressed under ex- isting laws is upon the ground of fraud, in which case it is extremely difficult to obtain sufficient evidence to warrant | an action. Such evidence cannot be obtained in any event u:til after the scheme has been in operation some time and after the comnany has in its pos- session thousands of dollars of the pub- lic's money.

Samuels’ | Lace House, Sutter street and Grant ! avenue, met a shocking death last evening. He was crushed between an elevator ahd the heavy iron sidewalk doors. The unfortunate man, who had been employed ‘in his position but three weeks, was assigned the duty of locking the sidewalk doors at the closing hour of the store. The fas- tenings are on the inside and in order to reach them it is necessary to do so from the basement. As there were no eye-witnesses to the tragedy, it is sup- posed that Sheehan stepped on the elevator with the intention of raising it a sufficient distance to permit him to manipulate the locks. In some manner he failed to shut off the power and was slowly crushed to death. The discovery of Sheehan’s body was made by George Dussan, the head janitor, who immediately lowered the lift. It being found that life was ex- tinct, the Coroner’s office was noti- fled and the body removed to the Morgue. Deceased was a married man, aged 40 years and resided with his family at 1829 Mission street. ————— SANTA ROSA, Dec. 15.—Alfred D.
