Culberson introduced an amendment reducing the rental of the machines and the Democratic Sena- tors charged that the rental now paid was the same paid under the contracts made by George W. Beavers when he was in the Salary and Allowance Divi- sion of the Postoffice Department and that they were excessive. Lodge de- nied the charge, saying that there was no truth in it. The postoffice bill was ' still under consideration when the Sen- ste adjourned. The first hours of the session were devoted to a discussion by Patterson of the Chinese question in which he maintained that the exclu- sion law was ineffective after Decem- ber 7 unless there was additional legis- lation.

The amendment was lost, 18 to 36. Teller called attention to the fact that all the votes cast for the amend- ment to reduce the charges for the ma- chine, which charge he said the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General had de- ounced as extortionate, had been cast by Democrats, while all the negative votes had been cast by Republicans. He said the prices named in the bill as it stood were the same as those fixed by Beavers. He added that if the Senate was trying to give Beavers a bill of health it should go further and instruct the Department of Justice not to prosecute him. The contracts, he said, had been made in fraud, and Sen- ate. Lodge said that Teller was mistaken and that the machine with which Bea- vers had been concerned was not now under contract. Without completing the postoffice HIT the Senate went into executive session at 4:55 and adjourned at 5 p. m. —_———— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST | Postal, Naval and War Orders Issued by the Federal De- partments.

When the garrison of Omarura heard the firing of the ar- tillery of the relief corps, twenty of the beleaguered force made a sortic against the enemy, who heid a natural fortification consisting of a line of cliff-like projecting rocks. “The Hereros, attacked in front and rear,” says Dr. Moellenhof, “held their | ground with marvelous tenacity. When the Germans rushed among them, many Hereros crept into the crevices of the rocks, where they were bayoneted. Lieutenant von Koellewarth received a ! mortal wound from a Herero twenty paces distant and a German cavalry- man searching the rocks for wounded was killed at a few paces range. “After being driven from this posi- tion, the Hereros took up a new one, contesting every inch and leaving a number of dead at every rallying point. After the hottest firing was over, the enemy fired at the German wounded from bushes, and the sur- geons dressed the wounds while bul- lets were whizzing in their direction. The Hereros lost about a hundred kill- ed or wounded of their approximate total of six hundred men.

C., April 8.—The tugs | Sea Lion and Pioneer of Port Town- | send, which have gome”up the west | coast of Vancouver Island to search for | a dismasted vessel reported to them ! by a passing San Francisco collier, are | expected back Saturday morning. There is little doubt that the ves- | sel reported is the three-masted schoon- er Kallua of San Francisco, already reported lost on Badger Reef, Kyuquot | Point. The only new fact is that she met disaster far at sea and was drift- | ing deck up when seen by the collier. § She must have been upturned on reach- | ing the Vancouver Island reefs. It is | now believed that the captain and crew | may have got off in the boats at sea. The Sea Lion and Pioneer have re- ported from Clayoquot, where they put | in this afternoon on their way te Kyu- | quot. An attempt will be made to salve the hull of the schooner. The tugs will look for further evi- dence of the Scotch ship Lamorna's | fate while on the west coast, acting on | instructions from Lloyds’ agent. It is reported that the hull of the schooner | Kailua is rapidly being pounded to | pieces by the powerful ground swell | around Kyuquot Point and that in a| day or two not a vestige of the vessel | will remain. Her foredeck and its ma- chinery are in charge of the storekeeper |at Grassy Island, where it drifted | | ashore Tuesday evening last.

It was a day which those with the excursion will never forget; a day in which they were shown the beau- ties of this end of the State in a man- ner which the tourist misses. Either the entire body or portions of it saw all that was to be seen in a hurried trip through Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties and wherever they stopped they were accorded a welcome which was new to many of them and which was mani- festly sincere, Unless the reception at various places be styled as such, the day was devoid of special incident. Of course there was the fun which is always an accom- paniment of such trips, and the jokes perpetrated for the benefit of the crowd, but the members of the committee came south particularly to see the country and mark its development. What they saw will be for the good of the whole State, in that it will give other sections the benefit of ywhat has been accomplished in this section. The members of the committee awoke at Santa Ana, where they were treated a | to a speech by Superior Judge Ballard, which they declared had the true ring to it and which nearly all the members of the committee remarked was one of the best they had heard. They went to Riwerside and San Ber- nardino, and thence around the upper loop of the kite-shaped track of the Santa Fe to Los Angeles, stopping awhile at Pasadena. The special train bearing the committee and their guests reached Los Angeles at 5 o'clock, and without giving the visitors a chance to rest the local committee had auto- mobiles waiting, and those of the visi- tors who cared to go were taken for a spin through the city. There was a reception at the Cham- ber of Comerce to-night, which was at- tended by the representative men of the city. The affair was altogether in- | formal. Speeches were made by a num- ber of prominent Los Angeles men, and responded to by members of the committee. The principal speech of the evening was made by Jobn McNaught, who re- sponded to Mayor Snyder's address of welcome. For several hours the visitors remained at the Chamber of Commerce building, most of the time being spent in personal discussion of subjects of interest to the entire State and in the exchange of views and experiences be- tween men who represent different sec- tions. After the informal reception the members of the Promotion Committee were escorted to their train. Their next stop will be at Santa Barbara and thence they will journey directly home. PR S TSI T 8 BREAKFAST AT SANTA ANA. Promotion Committee Is Given Hearty ‘Welcome in Pretty Southland City. SANTA ANA, Avpril 8.—The special train carrying the members of the Cal- ifornia Promotion Committee and prominent citizens of Los Angeles ar- rived here shortly before 7 o’clock this morning from San Diego. The panty numbered more than one hundred and fifty and after breakfasting at the Rossmore, speeches were made on be- half of the visitors by Andre Sbar- boro and John T. Dare and addresses of welcome delivered by F. P. Nickey, president of the Chamber of Com- merce, and Colonel S. H. Finley, presi- dent of the City Council. After breakfast the party was driven over the city in automobiles and carriages furnished by the citi- zens and finally landed at Orange, where the special was boarded at 8:30 o’clock for Riverside and other points in the day’s itinerary. The visitors ex- pect to accomplish great things in the way of inducing all factions to get together and pull for the good of the entire State. surance that this was the purpose of the visit was applauded to the echo. Pl 075 TR SHORT STOP AT REDLANDS. Visitors Are Met at Depot by Mem- bers of the Board of Trade. REDLANDS, April 8.—The Califor- nia Promotion Committee arrived in Redlands over the Santa Fe route to- day. The party was met at the sta- tion by a committee of the Redlands Board of Trade, consisting of K. C. ‘Wells, G. C. Thaxter, K. H. P. D. Kingsbury, J. W. Barrows and C. S. Lelean. Preparations had been made to give the entire party a drive through the city and over Smiley Heights, but the train, which was scheduled to ar- rive at 1 p. m., was delayed west of Corona by a wreck ahead of it and did not arrive until 2:15 p. m. About twenty-five members of the Los Angeles Board of Trade who ac- companied the party on the Kite Shaped trip, because of this delay, per- suaded the visitors to omit the Mc- Kinley drive at Redlands in order to make up the lost time and enable them to arrive in Los Angeles on scheduled time on their return trip. The party proceeded on the journey at 2:30 p. m. without having left the Santa Fe sta- tion. —_——————— ALLEGED BURGLAR TAKEN BY OFFICER AFTER CHASE Policeman Keohane Captures Frank Bailey, Whom He Suspected of Attempted Burglary. A man giving the name of Frank Bailey was arrested after a long chase last night by Policeman D. J. Keohane. Bailey was booked for vag- rancy, but will be held pending an in- vestigation into his record. When he was searched at the City Prison he had a set of burglar's tools, among which were a huge knife, a plate glass cutter and a file. Officer Keohane saw Bailey loiter- ing in the neighborhood of the banks that line the streets near the corner of California and Webb streets, a lit- tle thoroughfare runnjng north and south between Montgomery and Kear- ny streets, off California. Keo- hane called for the man to halt. In- stead of complying with the officer's demand Bailey started to run. Keohane pursued him down Webb street into Sacramento and down Sac- ramento to Montgomery, where Bailey stumbled and fell. The vigilant of- ficer was on his back in a moment and after a severe tussle succeeded in getting the handcuffs on his prisoner. The police believe that Bailey used the tools found on him in the nefa- rious calling of burglary. To-day he will be charged with having burglar tools in his possession. —_———— Boxmaker Loses Three Fingers. J.

The conclusions reported as- signed much less influence to forests than has been hitherto assumed. Pro- fessor Schubert of Goettingen gave a summary of the results of his four years’ observations at Prussian sta- President Sbarboro's as. | t1ons throughout the extended wooded region of the northern part of Bran- denburg. Two observations were tak- en daily at numerous points within the forests, in clearings and other points. The result was that from the minimum variations of temperature and humid- ity in the forests and at more remote points it was concluded that the for- ests had no appreciable influence upon the rainfall and general climate. It was poinited out in the debate follow- ing that observations in the ex- tended swamp regions of Russia gave similar results. iagrams and tables. illustrating the above experiments, wili be sent to the St. Louis Exposition. e — WEBB AFTER SCALPS OF NOTARIES PUBLIC He Claims That Charles Edelman and E.

W. Woodward. He claims that they are wrongfully holding of- fice under their appointment by for- mer Governor Gage and preventing Hamilton Bauer and John H. Ware from taking office. The suit is based on the claim that when the defend- ants were appointed in the places of F. C. Mosebach and W. B. Benchley they were appointed to serve unex- pired terms only. Edelman and Wood- ward, however, claim that they were appointed for four years. Edelman was appointed in April, 1902, and Woodward in June, 1901. —_————————— Assailant’s Skull Fractured. Charles W.
