ON COAST DEFENSES
Squire, of Washington, Ad
dresses the Senate.
OUR CONDITION LAMENTABLE
Oar Entire Coast Eipoicd and Helpless
Affalnst Foreign Navies Senators
Morrill's birthday.
Washington, April 14. Senator Mor
rill, of Vermont, reached the age of 86
years today, and the event was referred
- to in the opening prayer ot the chaplain,
who spoke of the white-haired senator
as hale in body, clear, sound and vigor
ous in intellect, .and esteemed by his
brother senators, by his state and by the
. whole country. At the conclusion of the
prayer Morrill received congratulations
from many of his associates.
Shortly after the session opened Mor
rill announced that Thursday next he
would speak on the necessity of. addi
tional quarters for the national museum.
Squire was then recognized for a
speech on coast defenses'. He said all
the evidence taken by the committee on
cost defenses is lamentable in the ex
treme. The defensive works are of a
character incapable of resisting modern
aitillery. The evidence is overwhelm
ing that in case of war our whole people
would suffer immeasurably. He con
cluded : "We are encircled as a nation
-with a chain of foreign fortresses and
while our rich sea coast cities or port?,
coaling stations impervious to attack,
including San Diego, . San Francisco.
Portland and Puget sound lay exposed
add helpless against the attack ot for
eign powers that possess navies."

Whether Nicaragua Canal Bill Shall Be
Reported to the Boase.
Washington, April 14. The Nic
aragua canal and Hawaiian cable ques
tions were considered by the house com
mittee on commerce today, but no vote
was taken on any of the bills. It was
decided to dispose finally of the question
of reporting the canal bill to the house
one week from next Friday. In the
meantime hearings may be continued,
and 'probably some of the government
engineers will be called upon to give
their views.
General Wagner Swayne, who repre
sents the Pacific Cable Company, of
New Jersey, of which Colonel Spaulding,
of the Hawaiian islands, is president,
made a statement to the committee in
the interests of that company. A reso
lution was adopted, by a vote of 10 . to 4,
expressing that the sense of the commit
tee is that the government should aid,
by subsidy, the construction of a Pacific
cable. Neither of the two rival compan
ies, which are competing for govern
ment patronage, were named in"the re
solution, and no terms were suggested.
IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE. ,
Southern Faolfle to Create
Similar to Pullman.
a Town
San Francisco, April 14. In connec
tion witu the plan 'of the Southern Pa
cific company to construct a short line
to Baden, via Potrero and South San
Francisco, there is another important
enterprise. This is said to be nothing
less than the creation of a railroad town,
similar to that of Pullman, near Chicago,
on the property of the Southern Pacific
company and its individual shareholders
in this and San Meteo .counties, where
the two counties join.
It has long been known that the rail-
' road contemplated constructing a short
line through this section, and that this
- would have been the original route, but
"for the opposition of certain landholders

numerous developments have indicated
that the Southern Pacific people have

heavy . land purchases in the Potrero,
and , more particularly in South San
Francisco, than securing a right of way
It ia proposed to remove the company's
repair shops, and rouDdhouse to the new
town. It is said that work on the pro
ject is only delayed by the company's
lack of ready money.
IT WILL BK REFUSED.
Cleveland's Offer aft Mediator Said to
Save Reached Canovaa.
London, April, 14. A dispatch from
Madrid to the Pall Mall Gazette, says
Senor Canovas del Castillo, the Spanish
premier, is ill, and cannot be inter
viewed. His relatives, however, confirm
the existence of a "communique" from
President Cleveland. But, in the pres
ent state of public feeling, it will be im
possible for the government to accept
his offer. -
Matters are very complicated, and
while the government' will do every
thing in its power to avoid a quarrel
with the United States, it will prefer to
figrVir ather than lose Cuba through
foreign pressure.
The coming cortes will grant Cuba
every reasonable franchise which has
been enjoyed under the Spanish flag.
' Unheard of at Washington.
Washington, April 14. Nothing is
known at the state department of any
such communication from President
Cleveland to the Spanish premier, Senor
Castillo, as is referred to in the le'egram
from Madrid. It is surmised 'however,
that the matter is entering into Spanish
politics and is, perhaps, being more or
less distorted to serve party purposes.
Head of Pearl Bryan Thrown Into
the Ohio.
Cincinnati, April 14. At Newport,
Ky., today, the attorneys for the com
monwealth made an official announce
ment that they would prove that Jack
son and Walling were together on the
Covington suspension bridge soon after
the murder, of Pearl. Bryan, and that
they were seen throwing the bead of the
murdered girl into the Ohio river.
Another Catch "Phrase.
"Just tell them that you saw- mo,"
that is the catch phrase of the hour these
days.
It is the first line of the refrain of one
of those maudlin ballads ' that attain
sudden popularity in certain circles that
tell in mournful cadence the story of the
rural visitor to New York, who recog
nizes in a hollow-eyed and pale, woman
of .the street, Madge his schoolmate,
once the village belle.
He oegs of ner to send by him some
message to the poor - old mother who is
waiting for her erring daughter's return.
The girl struggles for a moment with
her feeliDgs, and then sadly replies :
"J ust tell them that you saw me, they'll know
the rest; ' ' .
Just tell them that I was looking well, you
know ;
Just whisper. If you get a chance, to mother,
dear, and say ;
I love her as I did long, long ago."
