Wahhimotos, December 24. In the
Supreme Court to-day Mr. Davis, repre
senting the city of Oakland in the water
front ease, continued bis argument. He
waa followed by John K. Cowan of Bal
timore, who appears for the Southern
Pacific Company. He confined himself
to a discussion of the power of the Leg
islature of California to grant the water
front. He reviewed the opinion of the
Supreme Court In the Chicago lake-front
case, and took ground that in that case
the court viewed the act of the Legisla
ture of Illinois as a dedication to the Il
linois Central of the government's con
trol and regulation of the waters of Lake
Michigan along the city front of Chi
cago. He maintained that in the pres
ent case the grant by California was an
ordinary disposition of the State's sub
merged lands, made in the exercise of
the power to control public property and
rights. He claimed that the act of 1852,
making the grant, showed on its face
the exercise of lesislative discretion ami

Long Journey.
Nbw York, December 24. The rev
enue cutter Perry, which was ordered to
the New York station about a year ago
to replace the Grant, sailed from this
port yesterday afternoon en route to San
Francisco, thence to Behring Sea. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Ham

Behring Sea and as a result of his rec
ommendations, that the revenue inter
ests in that locality were insufficiently
protected, Secretary Carlisle assigned the
Perry to duty there. The departure of
the Perry practically deprives this ata
tion of one of its best boats. Her nlace

PEOMUtaATED BY BISHOP M'dONNBLL. ;
Nbw Yoek, December 22. Archbishop
Corrigan denied himself to the reporters
to-day, who sought to obtain his views
regarding the ecclesiastical interdiction
of secret socities promulgated bv Bishop
McDonnell of Brooklyn to conference
of priests of his diocese this week. Vi-ar-
General Farley admitted the truth of tha
statement that such an order had
promulgated. He said: , - ; . v
"The Odd Fellows, the 8ons of Tem
perance and the Knights of Pythias have
been interdicted." v
The decree of condemnation will at :
once be promulgated throughout the
church both from the pulpits and from
the press. As to the reasons for this ac
tion it is sufficient to sav that thev wem -
condemned because the Archbishops
evidently held that they were antago
nistic to the church. The understanding
is that the movement on secret societies
was determined upon by the council of
Archbishops of the Roman Catholic
Church of the United States held in
Chicago in September, 18ii3.
' TBI BAN BIIIS DIBCC8BKD. ' '
St. Louis, December 22. The Odd
Fellows in this city claim that the al

order by the Pope will not seriously af
fect them. They say their losses by the
resignation of Catholic members will
not amount to 5 per cent. In speaking
of the Pope's action State Grand Secre
tary E. M. Sloan said to-day:
'The ban was precipitate! by Dr. C.
L. Campbell of London, Out., who last
September refused to let a priest InspecV
