nnguardedNnntil the evening of the

Senator Stantobd created a great
deal of surpriso in the Republican
senate caucus last Wednesday, when
he took occasion to notify tho caucus
that he could not .vote for- the tariff
bill in its present condition. The
meager Republican majority in the
senate makes it impossible to pass the
the tariff bill in caso Stanford votes
against it ;Explaining his action, he
says: '"The bill is not satisfactory to
mo because in my judgment, if it be
came a law, it would injure several
industries id California of great prom
ise. In tho first place, the bill cuts
down the present duty on sugar one-
halt I consider there is no longer
any doubt about the successful rrnnu-
faoture of sugar in California from
beets. It seems to me that in n few
years the raising of sugar will bo one
of the most important occupations in
California. The bill also reduces the
tariff on oranges, lemons and limes.
This, however, can easily be reme
died." r r

Yaqnina Bay Improvements.
On November 9th a board, consist
ing of colonel G. H. Mendel, major
W. AJones and major T. H. Hand
bury met in Portland to consider the
project for tho improvement of Ta
quina. bay. A report was drawn up
ana forwarded to T. Lincoln Uasey,
chief of the United States engineers,
with headquarters at Washington, D.
0., by whom it was -approved and re
turned. The report has jnst been
made public. The following extracts
from it will prove interesting:
"Captain Willard Young presented
a project, the principal feature of
which is the building of a north mid
tide jetty, extending from the north
bead along and behind the reef forja
distance of 2,300 feet, leaving an ".en
trance width of about 1,000 feet. The
project also proposes to raise the
south jetty to full high water mark,
which by his estimates will require
20,000 tons of stone. Tho width of
the entrance proposed, that ol l.uUU
feet, fulfills two essential conditions,
namely,' it corresponds fairly to in
terior wjdtns near t bo-mourn audit
gives reasonable facility Jo vessels
seeking entrance. It is "not, how
ever, expected that the ship channel,
between the jetties, will be wider
than the interior channel, which is
about 500 feet." Of tho several pro
jects presented, the board decided
that this is the most practicable, aud
accordingly reported in favor of its
adoption. The estimated cost of Ibis
new jetty is 91,500. Preparatory
work has already been started on thi3
now jetty.
The board also presented mi esti
mate of completing the south jetty,
now in the course of constrnction, at
Yaqnina bar, placing tho cost at
869.250. Nearly S250.000 has already
been spent in improving Yaqnina bay.
Bids were opened yesterday in
Capt. Young's office for the building
of two barges to be used in carrying
rock for the jetty at Yaqnina bay.
The bids are as follews: Paquet &
Smith, S2.600; Willamette Ship Build
ing company, S2.700; John T. Steffln,
S3.620; J. O. Manning, Sl,548; S. V.
Bnrt, $1,700; Allen Parker, S2.300;
Moses Gregson and D. W. Walker,
82,500. The contract will be let to
the lowest responsible bidder. Tho
barges are to be 90 feet long, 27feet
beam, and are to draw 4 feet. News,
