In the closing stages of the discussion in reference to the Hawaiian annexa? tion resolution. Senator Petllgn w made a speech in opposition which occupied nearly fourteen pages in the Congress? ional. In view of the facl that the en? tire mailer bad been thrashed over time and attain in the many months II bad been dismissed It seems that the esteem,-.1 Senator wasted lots of elTorl and breath in an utterly futile and un? necessary piece of labor. It is a matter or doubt whether the set si.dies of the Senate and House are productive . r much good. Under the American sys le.I" government most of the legisla? tive work is accomplished In committee and tie- national legislators have com? menced to dej,en.I ,,n the committees lo sueb an ext. ut that it is not at all like? ly that an average ,.r one vole is in- j flueneed by all the discussion and j wrangling that lakes place in the aver? age congressional debate. It is only when a speech is made on the spur of the moment thai it is accorded any more than a passing notice. In fact, if one may believi the reports of perfect? ly-reputable newspapers, nearly all the Senators make it a point to absent themselves when notice is given in ad? vance that some'' gentleman will make a set speech. < ir course, there are ex? ceptions to this rule. There arc mem? bers of the Senate who would be ac? corded a respectful and attentive hear? ing anywhere and on almost any sub? ject, Inn they are few and far between. If ii were possible to get a compro? mise between the unseemly hurry ...r the Hoiirtf and the snail like delibera? tion or the Senate, Uncle Sam would - have a practically perfect legislativ.: assembly, and if the set s|.eh nuis? ance could be abolished the Senat* "would be sueb a body. It is difficult to understand bow an olticial Investigation Into the lerrble calamity that overlook Ihe French steamer La Bourgogne can accvfinplish .any great good. The principal cause or the accident seems lo have been the fact that ib.- vessel v. .is a hundred miles off its proper course. This, of course, was not suflici, in i , account for lb,' collision, but taken in c mnec tion with Hie other facl that she was rushing along at the rale of till.en knots an hour in an Impenetrable log It is not hard lo understand Lhe dis? aster. The cowardice and panic of the crew ami passengers were simply inci? dents that followed the main event. The lesson of the disaster p/ints to the necessity for regulations which will prevent steamship commanders t'r. sacrificing safely for speed. We fear that our esteemed Norfolk contemporaries are giving themselves a good deal of unnescesary wor ry over the condition of the channel leading to Newport News. Up to date no ship has ever failed to get to this city on ac? count of shallow water. Nor has it been neccsasry to ask the government for $200.000 in order to deepen the chan? nel so that river steamers may come here without danger. r on* may judge from the number ot supplies being loaded on the transports ' here General Miles 'lias contracted the \ excellent habit of looking out for the f commissary department of his army.
