It is understood the Senate Commerce Committee has agreed to report unfavor ably the nomination of Scott Harrison, brother of ex-President Harrison, to be Surveyor of Customs at Kansas City. Senator Mitchell has secured an order from the Postollice Department estab lishing a tri-weekly mail from Halsey to Brownsville on alternate days with the mail that now reaches Brownsville from Portland on the railroad. A Cabinet officer has stated that the contingency upon which the Secretary of the Treasury could issue bonds with out Congressional action was when the gold reserve in the Treasury was invaded to such a point as in ' he judgment of t he Hecretary to impair public confidence. 1 hat point, ho f aid, had almost, if not quite, been reached. It is stated in official circles that there is no probability of the international monetary conference reconvening in the spring, as was thought likely some time hko.

Mr. Bowers of California appeared be fore the House Committee on Kivers and Haroors the other day in support of a plan to protect the mouth of Han Diego Bay from shoaling. The plan contem plates building a jetty at the mouth of the harbor a mile and a half long. The object is to cut off a lateral channel that lias been forming at the mouth of th harbor. There is now about twenty three feet of water on the bar at low tide. The building of the jetty wouH increase it to twenty-six feet. In the Senate Allen, Populist of Ne braska, called up his resolution directing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Senate from what source the gold coin of this country outside the Federal Treasury was increased to the amount of (88,000,000 during the fiscal year 1803, as expressed in his recent report for that year. Dolph joined with the Populist Senator in expressing inability to com prehend the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the resolution of in quiry was adopted without dissent. Senator Dolph has reported from the Committee on Public Lands and secured the passage of Senator Mitchell's bill to authorize patent to be issued to Will iam Hendershott for a donation claim in Oregon. He has also secured the pas sage of the House bill to authorize proofs in timber land entries to be made before officers authorized to take proofs in home stead cases, and also of his bill to au thorize a corrected patent to the Whee- lock-Himtuons donation claim in tiius boro, Or., and to grant to the State a tract of land for the Crater Lake Park. I he - investigation of the water re sources of the United States undertaken by the geological survey has been prac tically completed. The work was com menced in October, 1889, with the object of determining the quantity of water available for the irrigation of arid lands of the West and for use as water power. Studies have been made of most of the drainage basins west of the 100th merid ian, as well as several catchments of the East. Scientists have devoted large part of the time in the examination of the "run offs" of the Missouri, Arkan sas, Rio Grande and Snake rivers. Ge ologist Newell of the survey said in an interview : " It does not appear prob able that even 10 per cent of the land now owned by the government can ever tie irrigated. In fact, there is not a suf ficient supply of water to bring under cultivation arid land equal to that which has passed into the hands of individuals and corporations. These are, however, localities where thousands of acres can he profitably irrigated by the const ruc tion of dams and irrigating canals." Secretary Carlisle has received from Attorney-General Olnoy nn opinion in which he holds that the Chinese exclu sion act and prior acts regarding the Chinese permit Chinese laborers coming or going to countries other than the United States to pass in transit to the country of destination through the United States. This question was submit ted to the Attorney-General some time ago by Secretary Carlisle, for the reason that it is alleged that a number of Chi namen while in transit stop off at points in thiB country and thereby gain admis sion in violation of the law. Many Chi iipfp laborers, too, it is said, who land at San Francisco from China, destined for Cuba, return to this country by way of Key West, Fla , or by points on the Mexican bonier, holding certificates as " merchants" fraudulently obtained. It was to stop these avenues that the Treasury Department consulted the Attorney-General, hoping that hiB opinion would be that the law could bo so con strued as to prevent Chinese laborers from passing through the Vnited States. The Attorney-General has not been able to gratify the department by carrying out this expectation. EASTERN NEWS. The Grip Attacks a Wisconsin Tribe of Indians. A ROMEO " SLIGHTLY OFF."

THE MIDWINTER EXPOSITION. California Midwinter Intkkha- ) TIOftAL EXPOSlTION.DEPARTlKST V of Publicitt and Promotion. 1 JWeailr Circular Letter-No. . The semi-official opening of the Cali fornia Midwinter International Exposi tion took place on the 1st ot January, according to the original announcement. Owing to the delay caused in shipping foreign exhibits from Chicago, it was understood, of course, that everything would not be in readiness on that date, tut the buildings were completed, a treat many of the concessional features were in full operation, and the Exposi tion was practically started on the road to success. The day could not have been morn beautiful if it had been made to order. Eastern people visiting California for the first time went into testacies over a New Years Day so much like the grand est April day in other parts of the world. iTiere were flowers blooming on every band, and the deep green foliage formed a atrildng background for the gala day costumes of the thousands of ladies who thronged Golden Gate Park until the sun went down. Early on this beautiful midwinter morning flags were hoisted on each and every flagstaff on the build ings and in and about the Exposition grounds; there were concerts during the day by the great Midwinter Fair band, and thousands of people availed them selves of the opportunity to view the buildinci and to witness the special at tractions which were offered. Among the concessions which opened np oa New Year's Day were the Santa Barbara sea lion exhibit. Boone s wild animal arena, the Ostrich farm, Heidel berg castle, the Vienna Prater, the Col orado gold mine, the Japanese Garden, the Scenic Railway, and a great many others. The Santa Barbara sea lions will evidently prove to be one of the great drawing cards of the Exposition. This is one of the entirely new features one that was not seen at Chicago. Those who witnessed the performance in the wild animal arena, and who had seen the siciiliar performance on the Midway Plaisance in Chicago, say that Boone's show rivals Hagenbeck'g in every particular, and surpasses it in many. The scenic railway did a remarkable business ; the crowds in fact being greater than could be easily accommodated. The Ostrich farm was also well patron ized, while Heidelberg and Vienna were full of visitors all day long. These con cessionaires, as well as others not speci fied in this connection, are very well sat isfied with their start, and feel confident that when the Exposition gets in run ning order, their dearest hopes in the line of money making will be realized. Notwithstanding the fact that there were no special attractions of a general nature provided for this semi-oflicia) opening day, there were about 10,000 people who paid for admission to the grounds. The price of admission is only 25 cents as yet, the 50 cent rate will not be established unt il the official ceremon ial opening. The date when the patt ing ceremonies will take place ha not yet been definitely fixed. It will prob ably be about the 15th or 20th of this month. It will depend largely upon the rapidity with which exhibits arrive and are installed. All the buildings are ready, and a great many exhibits are now being arranged, but t will be fully the middle of the month before every thing will be in readiness. When the grand day of ceremonial opening comes, there will be an elaborate program of exercises, in which all the state, municipal and federal officials of of the Pacific Coast will participate. The merchants and residents of San Francisco are making extensive prepara tions to decorate their stores and resi dences and the Exposition will have the grandest " send off " ever accorded to any enterprise in this part of the world. There have been received by the chief f the Department of Publicity and Pro motion a great many queries in regard to editorial courtesies which are to be extended during the Exposition. Some of the querists seem to fancy that the Exposition will, in some way, arrange for railway transportation for visiting editors. This, however, is not the case. The Exposition management has nothing to do with transportation, but every ed itorial visitor to San Francisco, upon presentation of credentials to the Depart Isjsiit of Publicity and Promotion, will fee provided with a pass to the Exposi ti in during ths term of his stay in San Francisco. Visiting editors may rest assured, therefore, that they will be taken care of in this regard, and that any other courUey which it is possible for the Exposition management to ex tend to them win be gladly accorded. Monday, the 11th of June, is the day that has been set apart as "Hawaiian Day," and that occasion will be taken advantage ot for the making of a special effort in the way of a general entertain ment in which the Hawaiian concession aires will play the part of hosts. A part of the program will consist of a parade by the entire foreign contingent, headed by the Hawaiian national band of forty pieces, which was formally the Royal band of Honolulu. Among other fea tures of the day will be a horse race with female riders, sitting astride, as is the native custom. There will also be native field sports, inoluding fencing, spear throwing and hoola dancing. On Waikiki lagoon, within the Hawaiian village enclosure, there will be a com prehensive exhibition of aquatic sports. The event of the day, however, will be a luau, or native feast, to which the offic ials of the fair, the municipal officers, the preag, and others will be invited. Guests will sit on mats and eat from a table a foot and a half from the ground. Roast pig and baked dog, cooked in ti leaves, broiled devil fish, and a large number of other Indian fish also cooked in leaves, native fruits and, of course, poi" with every course, will be some of the items of the menu. It will require bout a week of prepartioato properly get up a luau, and cooks and provisions are to be specially imported from the BwUM Wanda (ur uiuTonl FOREIGN CABLES. Rate of Motality of .
