VOLUME LXXXI.-K'O. 19. THE NEW ORLEANS TRAGEDY No Sign of Unusual Excitement in the City Yesterday. CROWDS CONTINUE TO VISIT THE SCENE OP TEE TROUBLE. Detective O'Malley's Day of Reckon ing Set for To-Day—Tho Jurors to bo Prosecuted Through tho Courts —Ono of Thorn Said to nave Already Confessed—Foreman Sollgnian Has Left for Cincinnati. Special to the Record-Union. New Orleans, March 15.—The city *rore its usual Sunday aspect, and there was no sign of unusual excitement. (Crowds continued to visit the scene of tho tragedy, although few were admitted inside the prison. The prison officials arc incensed over the censure at their failure to make a moro formidable de- fenso. They say they did not givo up tho keys, and when the crowd drove in all the officers were at their posts. Had they fired at the crowd it would have caused the storming and perhaps destruction of the prison, and the sacrifice of many in nocent lives within and outside the jail: lather O'Leary of tho Jesuits this morning performed the last sacred rites of the church over the'body of the elder Marchesi, who was shot yesterday, and said mass for tho repose of tho souls slain, lt was an impressive spectacle. The Sicilian survivors gathered together in one of the more comfortable* rooms at the parish prison, and wero given more liberties than usual. They were sin cerely thankful for their escape from death. All the victims wero buried to-day. Marchesi, Monasterio and Trahina were unclaimed up to noon, and the charity wagon took them to tno Potter's field. Pouts and Comitc were followed to the grave by a single carriage, and in the case of H. Bagnettos the hearse went alone. The others had large and well-attended fu nerals. The Vigilance Committee is known to be still :it work, and it is said that to-mor row will be detective o'Malley's day of reckoning. The jury will also be attended to, but probably through the courts, as it is proposed to obtain evidence in tlie case of thrse who were bribed. One of the jurors is said to have confessed already, and the State had evidence against sev eral before tho verdict was announced. The Grand Jury will indict one juror on Tuesday, and moro will follow. Fore man J. XV. Seligman has gone to Cin cinnati. Father Manoritta was visited by a re porter this morning, and exhibited a let ter that ho had received. The stamp on the envelope showed that it had passed through the city postofiiee jMarch yth, at 3 P.M. Father Manoritta received it on the morning of the-loth. The letter bore tic* seal of tlie Mafia organization—a skull and cross-bones at the top and bot tom. The letter advises tho reverend father that he had better stay at home and not go io tho court every day, nsjhis presence i her* did not do the society any good. He w_s told to beware. The letter is signed: "The Matia Society, M. M. C." Father Manoritta said he had intended to give the letter to the District Attorney, but refrained from doing so through fear. He further said that the jury in the Pro vcnzano case had been entirely too lenient with him. While he deplored the course of the citizens in acting as thoy did yes terday, similar action in tho other cases would havo proved more effectual incom pletely eradicating the Mafia Society. Attorney-General Rogers said to-day, in speaking of yesterday's tragedy, that the question presented to the authorities with jurisdiction in the city and parish is, wen* the laws of the Stato violated, and what crimes have resulted from such violation "The Grand Jury is in session, and wo have in full operation all means and modes of enforcing the laws. I have no doubt thai those charged with the official duty will act firmly, justly and fear lessly." Superintendent of Police Gaston, when asked what steps he intended to take, said he could not arrest the community. Governor Nicholls said the Italian Con sul called on him yesterday morning and asked interference and protection for Italian subjects in the parish prison, who were threatened with mob violence. The matter had not been called officially to the Governor's attention, and a call for military would have to come through tho Mayor of the city. No such demand had 1 ii made. When the Consul called on the Governor the crowd had already started toward the prison. Mayor Shakespeare said his aid had not been invoked, and when he reached ids office it was all over. Ho had not asked any aid of tho Governor. MINISTER DE FAVA CANNOT BE SEEN.

It is the hope of the President that vnu will co-operate with him in rnaiiitainmtr tiie* obli (lations of the United Stales toward Italian subjects who may be within the perils of the present excitement, that further bloodshed and violence may lie prevented, nnd that all offenders against the law may be promptly brooch! to Justice. Samoa G. Blame. This telegram was the result of a eon- I ferenee between the President and Secre tary this afternoon, Barori Fava, the Ital ian Minister, having previously called on Secretary Blame ana earnestly protested against the killing of his country men, de manding at the-ame time protection for all other Italians in Xew Orleans. Baron Fava, in his protest to Blame, said the authorities of New Oilcans had not only failed to prevent tlie meeting, which had been publicly announced and was known to be hostile to the Italians, but also held an attitude purely passive dur- i ing the massacre. Mo said 'lie was obliged to reserve for his Government tho right to demand any and all reparation it judged necessary. Third Assistant Secretary of State Ado, speaking of the matter to-night, said "This case is without precedent in the diplomatic, history of tlie country. Of course I cannot predict the outcome nor discuss it. It it not easy to predict what will be the course of procedure. "I cannot see," said Representative Morrow of Calilornia, "how this affair can become an international issue. The vengeance of the mob was not directed against the Italians aa a race, but as a band of supposed murderers, who escaped their deserts by tin* miscarriage of justice. It seems to me the oniy action tohe taken is for the relatives of the dead men to sue the city of New Orleans for damages on tlie ground that tho city failed to furnish proper protection. It was not a race riot m any sense ofthe word." ArPEAL TO MINISTER -UTOINI. Nkw Yoitic, March 15.—Following arc copies ot two telegrams which passed be tween this city and Italy relating to the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans om Saturday: "Sudani, Minister f Foreign Affairs, Rome: Tlie Italian press of Now York, unanimous in representing the colony, notify you of the massacre al New Orleans of several Italians already ac quitted by an American jury, and de mand intervention by the home Guvcrn in cnt." The answer was: "Your cablegram received. I have already demanded from the Federal Gov ernment energetic and prompt measures." VEHEMENT PROTEST KKO.M ITALY. Rome, March l."j.—Tho Italian Govern ment has instructed Berpn De Fava, Italian Minister at Washington to pre sent a vehement protest to the United States against the action of the mob at New Orleans yesterday, and the Unit#d Suites has promised to make an investi gation. Baron He Fava, in a dispatch to Marquis Di Rudini, the Italian Premier and Foreign Minister, states that he has protested against the inaction of tlie local officials in New Orleans, anil that Mr. Blame, the American Secretary of State, expressed horror at the acts ofthe New Orleans mob, promising that he would immediately make known the orders ofthe President in the matter, and that the decision would be communi cated to the Italian Government. The Refornta denounces the Now Or leans tragedy as an outrage, and says it is a disgrace to the United States that such acts are possible within its borders. Sig nor l.roganz will interpolate tin* Govern ment in Parliament regarding the. affair. _&_-U_r_r__N- OF ITALIANS IN CHICAGO. Chicago, March 15. —A large and rep resentative meeting of Italians was held here this evening to consider yesterday's doings at New Orleans. I»r. Volini, the presiding oflieer, delivered an impas sioned address, calling for reparation by tho United States, and saying that if jus tice be not rendered, full and prompt, Italy will speak, oven With the voice of her guns. This was received with tre mendous cheering. Editor Malata of IZ America said the outrage has no comparison in tho history of any civilized nation. He disavowed sympathy with the vendetta, but asked why the New Orleans authorities per mitted Parkerson to assemble thousands of citizens and harangue them io a .point of murder. Charles Barry said the fact that prom inent men took part in tho massacre makes it doubly infamous. G. Almagta of IS Italia said he had per sonally seen all the victims of the mob, and believed them innocent of the crime charged. "The people who have no re spect for thoir Haws or tho verdicts of their own juries," said he, "are worse than savages. Reparation is demanded, and Italy should send a iieet over here to command respect and assert the rights of her citizens." Many other addresses wore delivered, and a message of formal protest was sent to Secretary of Stater Blame. A resolution was also adopted protest ing against the killing as unworthy of civilised people, and appealing to the Italian and I'nited States Governments for Immediate and full reparation. at riTTsm-RG. Pittsiutet. (Pa.), March I.").—Tho largo colony of Italians here became greatly excited over the news of the killing at New Orleans, and several society meet ings took place to-day. Action was taken looking to the holding ofa general meet ing .this wt>ek, when resolutions will bo adopted appealing to the Government to punish the participants. AT KANSAS CITY. Kansas City, Man-h I">.— There was great excitement here to-day in the Ital ian quarter. Consul Fed eh says the Ital ians are a unit in demanding that tho American Government bo made to make suitable reparation. THK KILLING DENOUNCED. NV.w YORK, March 15.—Tho El Ps-o areaeo lt Americano, the leading Ital ian paper of this city, has a savr.ge editorial on the New (Means kill ing, saying that a moro horrible tragedy has never been committed even among the most barbarous tribes. All the narratives confirm the fact of a tacit acquiescence and the connivance of prominent citizens in the face of the law. Therefore, the more severe must be the account and explanation asked. The editor having telegraphed for opinions from different Italian papers throughout the country, lias received many replies, all deeply deploring the killing ami demanding reparation. LONDON PRESS COM AI KNT. London. March 15.—The .Xnr.s com menting on tin* killing of the Italians in Mew Orleans, says: "Italy's indignation is shared by the whole civilized world. In nearly ail such cases in America cor ruption is at the root of the ovil. Ameri cans are at once the most patient and most impatient people in the world. When they have grown tired of any grievance they move to their revenge with the swiftness of a hawk." The J'ost says: .Saturday's occur rences in New Orleans will form a de- j plorable page in American history." Lieutenant-Generals and Generals.

San Francisco, March lo.— Funeral services were held to-day over the re mains of the late United States Senator George Hearst. Since last Thursday, when the body sirri\ ed from Washington, 1 it has lain in state at Grace Church, whore it was viewed by hundreds of citi zens. The services wero conducted by Rev. W. C. Fouto, of Grace Church, and the building was crowded to tho doors with people. Among tho pall-bearers were Governor Markham, Mayor San derson, Chief Justice Beatty and others of the most prominent men in the State. Although t he rain poured down steadily all day, thousands of people who could not gain admittance to the church lined the street to view tho funeral procession. In the procession wero the Second Bri gade, N. G.

Senator Hearst's body will be placed in the vault of the late Senator Milton S. Latham, at Laurel Hill Cemetery. Grace Church was elaborately decorated with evergreens and dowers, and nu merous iloral pieces were sent by friends. I The closing ceremonies at the cemetery ere very simple. Six soldiers lilted the sket and bore it between the tiles of ill-bearers to a raised platform which irrounds the vault. Rev. Dr. Foute ok up tho closing portion of tho Kpis inal burial service, and the linal words peace were uttered. DEATH VALLEY. Professors Punston and Covlllo Ex- pcrionco Somo Rough "Weather. Sax Francisco, March 15.—A Chronicle Keeler (Cal.) special says: The first authentic information from the Death Valley expedition for some weeks reached here to-day, dated March 4th. Disagreeably stormy and cold weather has prevailed during almost tho entire winter. The water from the adjacent snow-capped mountains lias turned parts of the valley into a lake, (in February fith the party crossed the dry bed of the Armagosa. On the afternoon of the 7th Professor Bailey crossed at the same place through a running stream. On the __3d there was a raging stream twelve feet wide and tiiror* feet deep at the same place. liefore leaving the Resting Springs on the 7th of February Professor Stevenson and wife of Kan Bernardino joined the party. On their arrival at Funeral Mountains, the party having had no mail for four weeks, and Professors Funston and Coville being at leisure for a few days, they volunteered the ascent of tho Panaminf range to tho postoffice at Pana mint to secure it. In this venture tbey had an unexpected and hazardous ex perience, which nearly resulted in their perishing. They rode up the mountain, which is very steep.-to the snow-line, where they left their horses and proceeded on foot. The mountain is over eight thousand feet high, ancl when near its summit they were overtaken hy a blinding snow storm. They were in the mountains for four days, lighting their way against tho elements inch by inch on tbeir hands and knees, tho snow being crusted and not hard enough to bear their weight while standing. They arrived at Panamint, and after resting they started back and arrived safely in camp. The party will soon separate into two divisions, 'lhe one in charge of Professor Bailey will proceed to the Colorado Desert, via the Vegas lliver, to investi gate the flora and mammalogy of that section. The rest of the parly will push north to Gold Mountain, Pigeon Springs aud Lida Valley, from which point they will, in all probability, cross the White Mountains into Owens Valley, reaching here some time in April. Every one is reported well and the work progressing as favorably as the in clement weather will permit. The storms of this winter are pronounced by the old est settlers the heaviest ever experienced in that section. IMPORTANT DECISION. Leased Property May be Attached for Payment of "Workmen's "Wages. Marysville, March 15.—Judge Gray has rendered a decision in tho Yuba County Superior Court which will be of considerable interest to workingmen. The action was begun last October by Charles McWilliams and others against E. B. White to recover the payment cf work done for the latter on a threshing machine. The machine was owned by James O'Brien, but had been leased by- White. Tho plaintiffs claimed that according to the lien law they could hold the machine for the payment of their wages, no matter to whom it belonged. They brought suit and received judgment, and tlie Sheriff was ordered to sell the property. Mr. O'Brien, the owner, asked for an indemnity bond, so the Sheriff refused to sell the machine until such bond was given by tlie court. The court ordered the officer to appear and show cause why he should not make tha sale. Judge Gray took the matter under advisement, and sent his decision ordering the Sheriff to proceed with the sale without the indemnity bond. The Judge holds that the lien law pro tects laborers from being swindled out of their wages, and that it matters not to whom the property belongs, it must be held good for the payment of their wages. He holds that so loug as the machine be longs to Mr. O'Brien, he should havo seen that the men received their pay. LOS ANGELES CITRUS FAIR. Movement on Foot to Reproduce it in Chicago. Los Angeles, March 15.—A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce will be held to-morrow morn ing, when the question of reproducing the citrus fair in Chicago will be decided. A number of capitalists will be present, and members of the Board of Supervisors. A guarantee fund of fJ5,000 will have to be raised in cash. It is expected that twenty different localities in Southern California would co-operate in the undertaking. Each one of the localities will send seventy-five boxes of iruit to Chicago, if the fair could be reproduced on a finer scale in Chicago than it was here. Local capitalists have agreed to put up -34,000 for a half interest in the net proceeds of the i lair in Chicago. The fair will last three i days longer, closing Wednesday evoning. A large number of oxcursioiis will be run every day during the remaining days. Malicious Tranij s. Cnico, March 15.—Saturday, someone maliciously placed twenty-aye or thirty pieces of giant powder on: the railroad track just north of Chico. When the south-bound express came -in nearly all were set oil*, badly damaging some of the car wheels. The object of the party or parties is unknown. The. general im pression is that it was done by tramps. Light Showers of lia;n. San Rafael,, March 10.—It began raining here this morning and light showers have continued throughout the day. i PRESENT AND FUTURE. Sixty Years Ago tho A vera; o Speed of Trains "Was Twenty ____f_£ an Hour. It is refreshing to turn irdg contempo rary schemes for aerial na\ gation and electric propulsion of raihva: trains to a discussion of the steam raj vay itself, such as is given by Proft- sor R. 11. Thurston, in the December number of the Poi'itm. Professor Tin -ston is an advocate of progress iv p oblcms of transportation, and declare** his faith in electrical traction for the future, but this does not hinder him from enthusiastic praise of the railway as it ey ists at pres ent, somewhat after ths fashion ot An drew Carnegie's dissertation on our j national institutions in "Triumphant Democracy." The present railway equip ment is a great improvement upon the I inventions of Stephenson and Ericsson, j without doubt, and it is well for us to I turn from our dreams of .".00 or -100 miles an hour in tho future, to the achieve j ments of to-day. Fifty or sixty years ago the average train crept at twenty miles an hour, and I stopped at every station along its coarse, j where now we run at a speed of fifty or I sixty milefi, with few stops for through I expresses, and special accommodation i trains for local passenger traffic. Onoc i elision we can cover eighty miles in an hour, provided the track is straight and tba road-bed solid, and spewed even greater is reported now and then. The rails of the tracks were once of comparatively llimsy manufacture,while now they weigh a hundred pounds to the yard agreat im provement has been effected in the con struction ofthe bed of the, road, in bridges and in rolling-stock, not only from an attractive point of view, but in dura bility and general reliability as well; Our locomotives are monsters, com pared with their predecessors, our pas senger cars well-lighted and well-heated apartments, and our drawing-ronm cars, with their bath rooms, sleeping rooms, I restaurants, type-writers and the like. almost as comfortable as home. Railway travel has its attendant discomforts by the score, but attention is iiere directed tb the equipment of the best roads and to travel under the best conditions. A mod ern train frequently costs from (100,000 upwards, and unites in its construction the skill of professional specialists in 100 arts. We must not fail in appreciation of our present railway conveniences, there fore, open as they are to great and de sirable improvement. The question inevitably Introduced into such a discussion concerns the future at tainment of speed on the railway, and this Professor Thurston answers "so far as it can be answered, enumerating the conditions requisite to the best results and giving us hope for a considerable ad j vance without resort to electricity or navigation through the air. Briefly, it I will be possible to maintain a rate of speed at least as high as the highest al ready reached, say eighty or a hundred miles an hour, providing the conditions under which this speea or its approxi mate has been attained «ro extended to universal application, and safety like wise can be assured within reasonable limits by an advance along just those lines of construction which our best companies are now pursuing. Given smooth and straight tracks, no grade crossings, freedom trom local passenger and freight trains, few if any stops en route, curves infrequent and with gener ous radii, heavy rails, ample strength in all running parts, plentiful lubrication and other such contributions to speed and safety, and a rate of more than 100 miles an hour seems possible. As for 100 miles, to which some longing eyes are turned, Professor Thurston calculates the "head resistance," at such a rate, not far from 200 pounds per square foot of section of the train, or about ten tons in all, requir ing an impracticable locomotive of 5,000 horse power. For this speed Aye must wait in all probability for some other motive power, possibly electricity, with every car constructed as a motor. Such a genoral survey is valuable first for its statement of tlie possibilities ofthe steam railway in its present form, and again for its exhibition of the improve ments constantly being made in railway equipments, a part of which we are liable to lose sight in our ambition for more radical changes in our methods of loco motion. We may not progress as rapidly as we could wish, but we are certainly ad vancing and may hope for a considerable betterment in the speed of our railway trains, essentially as they exist to-day. TWO OLD INDIAN DEEDS. Showing for What Trifles the Aborigines Traded Away Their Lnrul. One of the old and original patentees in the Norwalk, Conn., settlement, was a family of the name of Kellogg, writes a Bridgeport correspondent of the New York Times. Among the records of the family aro a number of deeds and patents from the Indians, which are very inter esting. An I ndian deed to Roger Lud lowe is as follows: "A deed of sale made by Norwalke In dians unto Meisters Roger Ludlowe, of Fairfield, as followcth, 20th February, 1040: "An agreoment made between tho In dians of _S'orw:t!ke and Roger Ludlowe: It is agreed that the Indians of Norwalke, for deed in consideration of eight fathoms of wampum, six coates, term hatchets, term hoes, term knifes, term sissors, term jewes harpes, term fathoms tobacco, threo kettles of six hands about, term looking glasses, have granted ali the lands, med dows, pasturing*, trees whatsoever there is and grounds between the two rivers, the one called Norwalke and the other Soakatuek, to the middle of saidd rivers from the sea a day's walke into tho coun try, to the B_yed Roger Ludlowe and his heirs and assigns for ever, and that noo Indian or other shall challenge or claim any ground within sayed river or limits nor disturb the sayed Roger, his heirs or assigns within the precincts aforesaid." At the bottom of the deed are the names of several Indian chiefs who signed tho document. Another deed from tho Indians is to Captain Patrick. It reads as follows: "An agreoment betwix Daniel Patrick and Mebaekem and Xaratnake and Per n Hewnampoun, Indians of Nor ke and Makenton. to tho said Daniel rick hath bought of the said three bans the ground called Sacunyte Na •ke; also Meenworth; thirdly, Asmus is; fourthly, all the land adjoyninge to after-mentioned as far up in thecoun as an Indian can go in a day from sun ng to sun setting, and two islands ire ndjoininge to the sayed Carantenay k, all bounded on the west side with ewanton, on tlie east side to tho River rwake, and ail trees, meadows and ural adjuncts thereunto belonguig for l and his heirs forever.

Washington*, March 15—Secretary Rusk was asked to-day what ho thought of the statement made by Minister Boetticher in the German Reichstag to the effect that the new sanitary measures adoptodtby the United States were in adequate, and that Germany would not rescind the prohibition upon American hog products. Secretary Rusk said he could hardly believe such a statement had been made, for it imparts a willful or pretended ignor ance of the legislation now in force in this country. "The last meat inspection law passed by Congress," said tho Secretary, "pro vides for a more thorough inspection than that now in force in any other coun try. If the ante-mortem examination and microscopic: examination will not satisfy the German Government, it is simply because thoy don't intend to be satisfied with any system. "This Government has suffered impu tations placed upon its meat products by foreign nations to exist under cover of such pretexts a long time, but tho time has about arrived when the unjust dis crimination and false statements as to the purity of meats must stop. Such state ments will no longer bo permitted to go unchallenged by this Government, and such redress as tho laws of this country permit to he had should, in my judg ment, be forced." ARMY DIVISION'S. Tlie "War Department Considering tho Question of Their lie arrangement. Nkw York, March 15.—A Tribune Washington special says: The War De partment is considering the question of a rearrangement of the divisions and de partments, that the commands may bo better distributed among the two Major- Generals and six Brigadier-Generals junior to the Major-General commanding the army. It is proposed to abolish the Division of the Pacific and consolidate the Departments of California and Colum bia of that division.

Boston, March 15.—Rabbi Solomon Schindler addressed his people to-night; on a proposition to restore the Jews to j Palestine, taking strong ground against I the scheme. He said that the Americans had no business interfering in European questions. Palestine could only support 3,000,000 people, whereas Russia alone had 5,000,000. A Jewish commonwealth established in the midst of European powers would either be obliged to con tract an alliance with one of them or be absorbed. Xew Ocean Steamer Invention.

Shrewd Plan by Which a Girl Was Cured ol'Stngo Fever. An accident which is said to have taken placo recently in Paris may be of use to some of our girl readers, says tho Canadian Queen. A young woman of high culture and gentle breeding had been obliged to earn her living as a governess, and grew im patient oi the monotony of her life and its few chances of advancement. She fancied that she had great histrionic talent, and that she could amaze the world aud make a fortune on the stage. Sho went to a well known tragedian and told him her story and her am bitions. Now, the tragedian happened, fortunately, to be also a man of much sense and kindness of heart. He did not tell her that she lacked ability, knowing that she would not believe him. "You shall choose for yourself, made moiselle." he said; "but you should see this beautiful fairy land close at hand be fore you enter it." "I go to the theater every night, monsieur!" she exclaimed. "Ah. yes! Beforo the ctutain! For one mouth you shall havo a seat behind the curtain! Ifattheend of that time you should wish to become an actress I prom ise my aid to you." A line from him to the stage manager procured her a chair in the wings. There she sat night after night, not seeing the enchantment, the fun, the brilliant, gay touches which made a brilliant, gay picture for the spec tators, but the coarse canvases, the ma chinery, the paint and the dirt, the hard, monotonous work, the jealousy and squabblings, the weariness of body and soul out ol which the players made the picture, Other sights and" sounds there were, too, which terrified and sickened the pure and modest woman. Before the week was over she left her place in the coulisse, never to return, de claring her gratitude to tbe man who had so shrewdly interposed to save her. Bertha—"Harry has proposed to me j and I have accepted him." Maud—"ln j deed? He meant what he said then." Benha—"Meant what?"

IN FOREIGN LANDS. An Officers Version of the Late Battle in Chile.

GOVERNMENT TROOPS DECOYED AND SLAUGHTERED. Montreal and Vicinity Visited by a' Disastrous Storm—nouses tn Courso of Construction Demolished, nnd tho Streets Filled With Flying Signs and Debris—Much Damage In the Country. Special to the Record-Union. London, March 15.—The Tkaea has a dispatch from Santiago giving an official's version of the recent battle in Chile, v From this it appears that Colonel Robles, who commanded tho Government troops on tho oth instant, being short of pro visions, rashly abandoned tho strong position of Mount Sebastopol, and with 1,200 Infantry, twenty-live cavalry and a few guns, attacked a force of 2,500 rebels. At a critical moment the enemy, by a decoy truce for a parley, opened lire at close quarters, killing or wounding two thirds of tho Government troops. Colonel Robles was wounded early in the battle, and when captured was mur dered. A general massacre of wounded officers ensued. The loss of insurgents is estimated at 300 killed and 400 wounded. President Balmaceda admits tho gravity ofthe disaster, which places the province of Tarapeca entirely in the hands oi the insurgents. The President says, how ever, that the Government has 30,000 troops at its disposal. The Government has also an ample supply of funds. The future scone of operation will prob ably be near Valparaiso. new warships detained. Paris, March 15.—The French Govern ment has acceded to the recent request of tho Chilean revolutionists, who asked that the Chilean war sbips just completed at Toulon, and destined for the service of President Balmaceda, should not bo al lowed to depart. SIR CHARLES DILKE. lio *_Chooses an |Odd Moment for lUa Effort to Re-enter Public Life. London, March 15.—Sir Charles Dilke has chosen what seems an odd moment for his effort to re-enter public lifo. Ho puts himself forward as a Gladstonian candidate a year and a half before au election is likely to occur. Thore is no vacancy in the Forest of Dean, nor is there likely to be any till this Parliament has been gathered to its fathers, prob ably, if all goes well, in the autumn. Sir Charles puts himself up to be spat at during all this long interval. So great is his impatience that ho for gets and expects others to forget his owu explicit pledge not to attempt to re-enter public life till he had vindicated his character. He has -neither vindicated it nor taken any single step toward vindi cating it. "What he has done is to publish a pamphlet embodying such comments on the proceedings in the divorco court as to him or to his legal advisers seem likely to shake general conviction of his guilt. It is an idle effort. His former colleagues aro against him—Gladstone most strongly of all. Sir Charles Dilke's one object is office.* Between him aud office stands two lives —Gladstone's and the Queen's. It ia certain that he cannot regain his former' cabinet rank during tho life time of either. The Liberal, that is the Glad- stouian, party resents his reappearance. TIIE IRISH TROUBLE. Scene of Disorder at an Antl-Pnmoll-' ite Mooting. j Dublin, March 15.—At an anti-Par-, nellite meeting at Ncwry to-day there was a scene of great disorder, tho Par nellites turning out in strong force and doing their utmost to break up every-, thing. About 5,000 persons were present at tho meeting. The disorder began when, a. series of resolutions denouncing Parnell in tho strongest terms was put. The reso-* lutions were received by the Parnellite mon with hoots and groans, and lively, personal encounters between the oppon-' ents and supporters of Parnell took place.', in every direction. parnei.i.ite meeting at middleton. Dublin, March 15. —In the parish, church at Mitchellstown to-day Father! Sexton said the next election would prob ably result in the retirement of William.-. O'Brien, and every effort should be madtv to elect a McCarthyite for tho district. The Parnellite meeting at Middleton' to-day was sparsely attended, aud Har rington and Clancy Avere unablo to get a hearing when tiiey attempted to speak.. The poiiee had to be called on to suppress I a free fight.

THE NEW ORLEANS MOB—CLAN NISH AMERICANISM. The recent tragic events in the city of Now Orleans disgraced the civilization of the day. Whenever communities which claim to be highly civilized, to base their social system on the capacity for self-gov ernment, and that boast of the majesty of tho law, and of the submission of the people to its decrees, take up the bludgeon and resort to the methods of the savage, they testily to retrogression, the suprem acy of passion and the rulo of the merely animal. Lynch law. represents so much of savagery as lingers in civilization; it is the weaponry of heat, unreason and pas sion. The mob has neither conscience nor reason; it is the engine of lawlessness, tho foe of security, and the enemy of human rights. It cannot be tolerated or its offenses condoned. Even if at times its action appears to mete out exact jus tice, and to punish the guilty, if at times it is apparently tho defense of the law and tho assistant of its ministers, never theless behind its apparent temporary achievements in the interests of virtue, ls the repulsive form of passion, unreason ing hot blood, and the enemy of social order. Thore is no accomplishment that tho mob effects that is not more than oil set by the wounds it inflicts upon self government. It is entirely true that thore was much to inflame and anger the people of the city of Now Orleans; that timorous jurors cowed by a secret murderous tribunal; that corrupt officials and venal agents of the law, seconding and excusing tho bands of blackmailers and assassins, and tolerating associated criminals in their warfare upon society, had given cause for public indignation, and even for fears that tho community might be in peril from the assaults of alien hordes of cut throats and inquisitors, But assuming all to 1)0 true that the rioters of New Or loaus claim, thero is uo excuse for the terrible taking of vengeance by the hands of the mob. The law is not vengeful; vengeance is not one of its attributes, and no office of revenge performed in its name can have its countenance without destroying its integrity. The people of tho United States, abhorring the Sicilian assassins and similar associations of out laws aud murderers, have too high a sense of justice, are too unalterably at tached to the substructural principles of free government, to fail to make their condemnation of the New Orleans mob heard to the remotest corners of the land. We aro not blind to the terrible provo cation that inflamed the people of New Orleans on Saturday. Rut the enormity of the outrages committed by the in famous Mafia, and the failure to convict the assassins ofthe Chief of Police, served as tests of the capacity of the people to uphold tho arm of the law. They were not equal to tho test, and to that extent demonstrated that civil government in the hour of it 9 bitterest trial is not safe in their hands. Unquestionably tho Sicilian associ ation of outlaws in this land should be broken up root and branch. They should be pursued to the uttermost by the law,and if it is insufficient in its present form, the people being the creators of the law, have the capacity to raise up enactments suf ficient to meet the need. These Sicilian gangs of thugs, blackmailers and torror lzers represent the very worst elements of human society. Compared with them the Chinese highbinders are mild-mannered fellows. Driven from their own country, says Inspector Byrnes of New York, than whom thero is no better authority, these Sicilians of the Mafia are the most dan gerous of human beings: They are outlaws. They cannot return to the land of their birth, because in many In stances a price is hied upon the heads of more than one of them. They were criminals in their own country, and they continue their career of crime in tho home of their adoption. Before ISGO the Malta was a powerful politi cal organisation. It was recret and had rites, symbols, passwords and the other features of such societies. It degenerated into a criminal league ln which bandits robbers, counter feiters, murderers and other of the criminal classes were united. Expelled from their couutry,.these men have come to the United States. They form an organization similar to that of the anarchists. There is a silent un derstanding between them. The greatest criminal in their number is their leader. This is the class for whom L'Eco

ELOPED WITH A PIANO-PLAYER. A San Francisco Man Searching for an Unfaithful Wife. She Ran Away With a Handsomer Man Than lie, and Came to Sacraruonto. A •well-dressed young man, with a shining high hat and luxurious black mustache, called at the police station last evening and requested au interview with Chief Drew. The Chief was not there, but Captain Lee was, and offered his services. "I have had a serious loss, and I want your assistance," began the young man, removing his glossy tile. "Been garroted?" asked the Captain, nonchalantly. "No; worse than that," was the sad re ply. "Tackle hokey-pokey?" "No; worse than that, too." SOMETHING PH USUAL. "Indeed?" The Captain was interested now, to be sure. He dropped the pen with which he had been scribbling, and, wheeling his chair around, laced the vis itor. "What have you lost, my friend he said. I have lost my wife," said the young man. still moro sadly. The Captain took on one of his most sympathetic looks. "Well," he said, consolingly, "wo all have to go sooner or later, and "Oh, this is not a case of death. My wife has been stolen from me." The Captain whistled softly and then bade the young man proceed with his tale of woe. Tho visitor said ho was from San Fran cisco, and gave his name as James Ivory. He was a commercial traveler by occupa tion, and until a few weeks ago bathed in the smiles of what he thought was v faith ful wife. But—ah, frailty, thy name is woman he was deceived. A HANDSOMER MAN. Ivory said he did not discover his bet ter half's infidelity until a day or two ago, when be returned irom a'business trip to Portland and Seattle. Rofore leav ing ho had bidden his wife a loving good by, and had left -&200 with her to pay hor board, lodging and otherexpenses duriug his absence. When he returned ho was not received with tho fond embrace and resonant kiss he had anticipated, but instead received the shocking news that his wife had llown with a handsomer man than he—also with the fJOO. Ho searched diligently for her, and finally learned that she and her com panion had headed for Sacramento. The 'handsomer mau" he also learned wont by the name of Charles Ward, and eked out a living by playing the piano in im moral houses. IN SACRAMENTO. Ward and the unfaithful wife have been located in this city. The former has been thumping a grand square in a Second street bagnio, and the latter, it is said, has been leading a life of shame in an L-slreet honse. Ivory will swear out a warrant to-day, he says, for tlie arrest of both Ward and Mrs. Ivory. Ward, he declares, has a wife of his own In San Francisco, and ought to let other men's wives alone. The police have located the alleged elopers, and will have no trouble in get ting them if Ivory carries out his threat. THE LATE GENERAL FRY. Ho Was. the First Captain of tho Old Sutter Rifles. Referring to the recent death of Gen eral Burkitt I). Fry in Richmond, Va., tho Redwood City Democrat recalled the fact that deceased was ono of the argo nauts of California, and in the memorable year of '49 became a resident of Sacra mento. After serving on Genoral Scott's line through the Mexican war he came to Sacramento and commenced tho practice of law. In IS.V) he was elected a Justice of the Peace in tiiis city, aud Colonel E. E. Eyre, whose elegant home is at Menlo Park, in San Mateo County, was the Con stable of his court. General Fry organiz ed tho famous military company in this city, known as tho Sutter Rides. Ho waa its lirst Captain, and ex-Mayor John Q. I'.rown, now Secretary of tho State Board of Trade, was Lieutenant and Col onel Eyre a Corporal. General Fry left this State inl&3sand joined Walker in his expedition to t'osta iiica. Frank Mahan, son-in-law of Mrs. Sweeney, and who was bookkeeper to State Penter Ayers, was one of his com rades in that expedition. After the col lapse of' Walker's plans in Central Amer ica, both Oeneral Fry and Mr. Mahan returned to California. In 1859 General Fry returned to the At lantic side, and at the breaking out of the civil war ho was a resident of the State of Alabama, and at once joined the armies of the Confederacy. At the battle of Gettysburg he commanded a brigade in General Pickett's famous division, and was in tho charge made by Pickett which decided the day in that great battle. He fell, desperately wounded, in tho van of those who wore the gray. A few yards from where ho fell General W. S. Han cock of the Federal Army was also wounded. General Fry was a .elassmiito of General Hancock at West Point, and n learning who the Confederate General was Hancock sont his surgeon to attend tin* wounded soldier. Many pioneer Cali torn inns heard with ri -gre! of tho death of General Fry. He was a brave, frank, generous and genial man of far more than ordiuary ability, having distinguished himsolf in the fields of law and literature, as well as in war. LOCAL ITALIAN SENTIMENT. It Does Not Partako of tho Nature of That in the East. Telegrams were received la this city yesterday by prominent Italians from their countrymen in New York, making inquiry as to the condition of public sen timent here, both among Italians and Americans, regarding the New Orleans affair of Saturday. A reply was forwarded to the effect that the Italian population, wliile condemning mob violence, did not look with tavor npon the suggestion of appealing to tiio King of Italy for redress. They lelt that the Government could be relied upon to do whatever would be right and just under the eireuinstances. It cannot he denied, however, that the Italian element was considerably agitated over the account of the affair at New Orleans, so fully described in tlie Sunday Union's dispatches. Naturally enough they gathered in groups about Hub various Italian resorts during the day and evening and excitedly discussed the news, but, so far as known, without the bitterness attributed to their race on the other side ofthe continent. THERE WAS NO FIRE. The .Department Called Out Throueh the Act of Some Hoodlum. Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morn ing the Fire Department was called out by an alarm sent in from box 31, at Thirteenth and J streets. Chief Guthrie and his men were soon on the scene, but even with the aid of the electric lights they could find no nre in that vicinity, and yesterday it was ascer tained that the key to the alarm-box had been stolen from the office of Hill __ Son ou the northeast corner of Thirteenth and' J streets. The purpose was, of courso, to turn in a false alarm out of puro mischief. Kilbrts were made to run down the guilty party, but thus far without success. It was a common thing, in the old days of the volunteer fire department, to send in fklso alarms of firo in order to give "the boys" a run—ond usually a chance for a fight—but under the modern system such thines are of rare occurrence. It is a punishable offense, and if the person who sent in tlie Saturday night alarm should be caught he will be made to suffer for it. CHARGED WITH BURGLARY. An Owner Found for tho Sack 9 Smith and Woods Had. Several days ago two notorious char acters, "Windy" Smith and Tom Woods, were arrested liy the police for having in their possession a large number of grain sacks, regarding wiiich they could give no satisfactory account. They were locked up, pending an in vestigation. Yesterday tho officers learned that the sacks had been stolen from a wholesalo house on Front street, and a charge of burglarly was accordingly placed op posite the names of Smith and Woods on the prison register. East-Bound Through Freight. Tlie following through freight was for warded by the Southern Pacific Com pany from Sacrameuto during the month of February, 1891: Borax, B__JS_o pounds; brandy, 2,520; canned goods, 32,200; fruit, dried, 73,.f1W; hides, 920; hops, 23,950; horses, 140,000; leather, 2!i,-l«J0; lumber, 01,2.30; miscellane-. ous, 80,230; potatoes, 175,150; raisins, 127,710; wine, 513,050; wool, pulled, 75,250. Total, 1,425,500. From other points—San Francisco, 28, --612,280; Oakland, 0-57,340; San Jose, 4!K),o30; Stockton, 1,122,010; Marysville, 177.5JH); Los Angeles, 1,991,100; Colton, 785,770; Portland, 170,500. The Little Tycoon. Willard Spenser's ever popular "Little Tycoon" is a coming attraction at the Metropolitan. "Love Comes Like a Summer Sigh," lleel and Toe," "When I Was a Boy," etc., are not easily forgotten. The organization is almost identically the samo as when here two years ago. Thero are fifty-two people in all, and they present the opera under tlie personal direction of the author, Willard Spenser. All of tho scenery and mechani cal effects—a car ot them—arc carried by the company. They are at present pre senting the "Little Tycoon" Us very large houses at tlie Baldwin Theatre, San* Francisco. The Hoodlum Still Lives. It has been claimed that the modern cigarette and opium pipe had knocked out the old-time breed of hoodlums, but it appears that there is a young crop now growing up in tho suburbs, where the pipe has not yet got in its effective work. Georgo Liohardt. who lives at Twenty fourth and L streets, complains to lie police that life is made miserable in that neighborhood by tho nightly (especially Sunday-nightly) orgies of a gang of young toughs. lie says the peoplo out that way demand some protection from these brawlers. The Legislature. Last night's trains from San Francisco brought back to tho city most of the members of tho Legislature, who went away on Saturday to attend the funeral yesterday of the late United Slates Sen ator Hearst. The others will return by the 11:40 a. m. traiu to-day. Tiie Senate will not meet until five minutes before 12 o'clock pt, just in time to go into Joint Convention to ballot for United States Senator. Ran Away From Sacramento. A 12-year-old tramp was before Justice Marks, of Placerviile, last week, having stolen a watch from J. J. Ryan at his ranch near Missouri Fiat. Tho young lad is a hard case, and had been endeavoring to get somo of tho town boys to go in league with him in petty ihefts. Ho claimed to come from tiio Orphans' lfomc at Sacramento also to have rfccoiitly j_r- rived from Spokane Falls, Wish., andSiflf a veritable tramp. ■_ New City Officials. To-day the recently-elected city officials, will assume the duties of their.officdfc. Tie only changes in the personnel will be ih the offices of Third Trustee, Auditor and one Fire Commissioner. A. R. Conklin will succeed Trustee Wolf, Captain J. 1). Young will relievo Major McKee rs Auditor, and J. M. Morrison will take tho place of Railroad Commissioner Beckman on the Board of Fire Commis sioners. Orange Shipments. The Southern California orange crop is now rolling eastward at a great rate. Yesterday a special train of thirteen cars passed hero, and last night two more specials, aggregating twenty-three cars weut eastward. Special orange trains will be of daily occurrence for a couple of months, so heavy are the crops in Eos Angeles and San Bernardino counties. Advice to Manager Ginsberg. The Breeder and Sport.'nnan suggests that in view of tho fact tbat the Sacra mentos have uo less than nine heavy left handed batters in their team, it would be advisable for the local managers to secure a consignment of south-paw twirlers at the earliest possible moment, or else have a force of carpenters stationed in right field ready to patch up the boards that will be knocked out of the fence. He Was Well Along. Old Jim, the oldest Indian in this part of tho country, died at his camp in Jack son Valley one day this week, says the lone Ec/m. Jim was an old man, so very old that none of the old-timers around thero can remember him as anything but an old man. Tlie Echo does not eiaim that be was the oldest man in the world, but says tbe facts at hand show that he was something under 175 years of age. Mulholland and Morrissey, It has been decided to have the glove contest between James Morrissey of this city and George Mulholland, of Australia, take place next Thursday evening at the Clunie Opera House. Both men aro very clover light-weights and should make an unusually good match. The match will be for a purse of -*250 aud gate re ceipts. No Necessity for Fish Lies. The way in which dozens of porsons daily scoop out fish at the Paino break is a caution. They dip their scoop-nets into the current just on the outside of tho levee, where the water pours through, and gather in the carp, pike, cattish, hardheads, perch and other species by the bushel. Snow at the Summit. Yesterday's storm extended across the mountains on the line of the Central Pa eitic Railroad, and snow was falling at the summit last evening. All trains were on time, however, with the exception of that from I-os Angtdes, due here at 7 p. m., it being an hour and a half late. To-Night's Mass Meeting. There will be a grand labor demonstra tion at"the Clunie Opera House this even ing, tho principal feature of which will be an address bj* Samuel Gompers, Pres ident of the American Federation of Labor. No admission fee will be charged. To Decide Race Finishes. Instantaneous photography will be given a thorough trial at the Sacramento racing meeting, this year. Snap shots, with a camera, of the finishes will decide all closo races beyond the shadow ofa doubt. Tourists, Whether on pleasure bent or business, should take on every trip a bottle of Syrup of Figs, as it acts most pleasantly and effectually ou the kidneys, liver and bowels, preventing fevers, headaches and other forms of sickness.

Samuel McClelland on His Way Back to Auburn for Trial, Charges of Forgery Against Him— Something Abont Christman, tho Horse-thief. Sheriff Conroy, of Placer County, ar rived in this city yesterday from Colusa, with Samuel McClelland, who is wanted at Auburn to answer a charge of forgery. The prisoner was lodged at the city prison for tlie night, and will bo token up to Auburn to-day. McClelland, it appears, is a partner of the notorious horse-thief and robber, Christmau, who is now in jail at Auburn. Christmau was arrested in this city some time ago by Police Officer Wagner, and delivered up to the authorities at Au burn, at which place he had been up to his old pranks—horse-stealing. He was tried and convicted of tho charge, but while awaiting sentence, broko jail and escaped. TITEY WKIIE IN HIDING. After his escape Christmau and Mc- Clelland joined company and took up their residenco in an old cabin, which was located in a secluded spot some dis tance from Auburn. It was an ideal hiding-place, and for some time the offi cers searched for tlie fugitive In vein. Of course, while in hiding, Christmau had to eat, and neither he nor McClelland had any money. A plan was then evolved which was ex perimented with. Several orders for pro visions, and groceries in general, were made out and tho signature of Christ man's uncle forged upon them. McClel land, it is said, took these orders into town and presented them to tho mer chants and received tho goods. OOOD W__Tl._*_ IT LASTED. The scheme worked well for a while, but like all good things didn't last long. The forgeries were discovered, aud tiie authorities soon discovered the hiding place of the two worthies. They made a descent upon tho pl;i- Lnion last night says the game was exit ing throughout, and was won only by hard playing. Hodman occupied* the box, but gave way to Hustin in the sixth inning, who pitched a good game—but one hit being made off his delivery. The same clubs play again at Fresno to-day and to-morrow. BRIEF NOTES. Despito yesterday's drizzle, tho street oars carried great crowds of peoplo to the suburbs of the city. George C. Tyler, representing Willard Spenser's Little Tycoon Opera Company, is at the Golden Eagle. The water has ceased to Uow through the Yolo levee break at the Conrad ranch, and the road is now passable down to the crevasse below the Fame break of last winter. Tho ilosed season of police hunting is near at hand, and from now until the Ist of April it will be a case of "pull" on all sides by tho small army of men who aspire to wear policemen's stars and draw down §100 a month for the coming year.. The usual Sunday contingent of duck shooters sought tho marshes yesterday in all directions, the majority taking their chances in the wild waste of tule south of Swingle's Station, in Yolo County. Some good bags were mado, but tho birds aro not as toothsome now as they were a couple of months ago. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. George W. Pcckham, of Watsonville, is _____ t he city.

4 WHITEWATER SHAKERS. ITiey Have Lots of Good Thines—Be liefs and Expectations. People get tired of life and rid them selves of it. The tale of a wreck is re lated every day. Some natures are not strong enough to overcome the griefs and succumb to them. For such there is a retreat that would almost have answered the longing of the p-almist when he cried for a lodge i.i some vast wilderness wliere he might fly on the wings of a dove and be forever ;it rest. Some six or seven miles beyond j the village of Harrison is a community that is as much apart from the world in i all its purposes and desires as though it. were on some distant star. The Shaker Village of Whitewater is as distant from the rest of the world as it can be. It is a j little world of its own. The Shakers have some 1,400 acres of as fine farming land as cau be found in the fcjtate of Ohio. It is gently undulating, rich and easily cultivated, and is well above the valley of the Whitewater not far oil". The greater portion of the ti.n'l has been cleared and would probably all be tilled wore there enough of the good peoplo to give it attention. But for somo years the community has been losing in numbers. Tlie original ones have grown old and pawed away and not many have come from the world to lead the "life of self-denial that the Shakers lead. To-day there are less than seventy-live men, women and children in the two villages. One village has been abandoned alto gether and the buildings and the farm surrounding have been rented. "We aro just holding a place ready for the people when the Lord shall send tliem to us," said Elder Henry li. Bear, the head man ofthe Center family. "We feel no discouragement because of our present condition. Thoso of us who want to go away and live in the world meet with no opposition. All are free to come or to go, just as they think best." "Do you not endeavor to make con verts?" waa asked. "No; the world would not listen to us if we did. Our religion is not attractive. It requires naci'lficeu which few are willing Us make. The religions that are in vogue now do not require as much of people as those of olden times did ami the world has got used to easy and comfortable forms that do not call for tho relinquish ment of pleasures. Until tho world gets into a different mood, it will be useless for us to attempt to do any proselyting." Elder Bear is a remarkably well-pre served man. Although quite far advanced in years, lie is as vigorous as a young man, his eye is as bright, his voice as strong, his ideas as clear as a young man. For nearly forty-live years has he been a Shaker. He ar.d his wife and two chil dren united with the community. His wife, a handsome old lady, still lives. One of his children is dead, and another, a son, has left the community and mar ried. "He often writes to me," said the elder, with a pardonable pride, "that he appn* ciates the benefits of his Shaker training, for it has kept him in the straight and nar row path." The elder was asked if it had not been hard for him to give up the family relat ii ms and separate himself from his wife and children. "No, no," came the answer, with a slight show of feeling. "I became con vinced that it was the right thing for me to do, and I would not lead a life that I was convinced was improper. Don't think, though," ho added, "that my fam ily relations were disagreeable, for they were not." "Is it not possible that some day you Shakers will abandon the requirement of celibacy?" was asked. "Never. That is tho main article of our faith. Christ was a celibate, and we are commanded to be like him in all things. Marriage involves selfishness, and we aim at entire unseltishness. There can never be a community of married people; it would be impossible. 4lero we live as real brothers and sisters, cultivating tin: Christian graces unhampered by family ties. It is the ideal life." "Hut if there were no family ties you wouldn't be here." "(>h, well," answered the elder, naively, "the time will never come when all the people are celibates. P.ut the world is gradually fitting to that stage of religious advancement when it will turn to Shaker ism. The great reform movements are «11 in that direction. Women's rights, temperance and all those find their per fect forms among the Shakers, and we look for the coming ofthe day when our numbers will greatly increase." It is easy for one to become a Shaker. Any one who can live among the others ■without disturbing the peace of the com munity can be admitted, no matter what his beliefs. "He need not even believe in the existence of a God or of a hell," said Elder Hear. "We will trust that he will receive the light of truth after he has dwelt among us." Those having proper ty turn it over to the community, but a strict account is kept of it, and should they leave it will be handed to them again. A "second covenant" is taken by some, by which property is donated to the com munity, and should they afterward leave tho community donates" to them what is deemed proper. Some are now in the community wh:>, after having united with it, left ami went into the world and mar rieil, but who wearied of the trilmlati"iis that beset them and returned to the peace fulness of the Shakers. Whitewater village is well governed. The eighteen bo_.ding.arelarge and com fortable, and even of an inviting coz-mess. The grounds surrounding them are filled with shade trees and flowers, and there is flood taste and an appreciation ofthe leautiful manifested everywhere. The houses are furnished plainly but neatly. The food is tho very best and it is of a tempting variety. Tho men and women ofthe community are intelligent, and they have very pleasant countenances. and are disposed to cheerfulness. Tbere ionds filled with (.erman carp. The large living houses an* heated by fur naoes, and it may properly bo said that the Shakers of Whitewato'r Village enjoy all the substantial comforts that can be desired. They live plainly, but well, and above all they lead lives that they believe to Ik* a fitting preparation for the here atter.— Cincinnati Ttnics-istar. The Grand Army.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. [Filed March G, 1891.] Appeal from Superior Court of Butte County-P. O. Hundley, Judge. For appellant, R. H. Lindsay, Gray 22. Rose et al.. Respondents. J This action was for damage against Rose, as road master, and tho other de fendants as his employers, advisers, etc., for the removal of embankments or approaches to tin* plaintill's' warehouses, x\t tbe trial, on the conclusion of tho tbe plaintiffs' case, it appeared that neither (Jray, .Streeter nor Smith, throe of the defendant-*, had anything to do with the matter, so that a uon-suit was granted as to them. Alter the argument and submission of the ease, the court, sitting without a jury, "avo judgment in favor of the defendant 4 Rose for costs, and dismissed the plaint ill's' complaint on its merits. From the judgment and an order denying a new trial thG plaintiffs appeal. Tliey claimed the right to uso and pos sess tho land in controversy under a lease from the Central Paeitic Bailroad Com pany, who had derived its title liy deed from Charles Crocker, and he by deed from the "Contract and Finance Com pany." The defendants claimed that the land was dedicated to the use of the pub lic as a street in the town of Biggs, in Butte County, before the plaintill's ob tained their lease. The main question at issue hero is whether the tenth finding of fact in reference to that dedication is sustained by the evidence. The plaintill's claim that the street was dedicated only to the extent of sixty feet in width, but admit that if tho dedicatod width was of as much as eighty feet then the judgment and order should lie affirmed. The theory of tho case as presented by the appellants seems to be that Charles Crocker (In whom the legal title was vested by the Contract and Financo Company on October 2t>, 1875), by his deed ot "April 28, 1886, conveying to the Central Pacilic Railroad Campany a strip of land ninety feet wide, which was a part of the laud he acquired by his deed from the Contract and Finance Company, revoked any oiler of dedication of tho land in controversy as a street which had been before made, and that this revoca tion took place prior to any acceptance by tho public of the street. Thero was evidence which tended to show that as carls* as 1870-1871 thero was a map made of the town of West Biggs by tho then owner of the land, Opon which there was laid out blocks and streets, which last were all indicated to be eighty feet wide, except the one in controversy here, called "California street," Between the east lino of the blocks of land, as laid out, and the track of the Central P_ioific Railroad, that map shows a space of 150 feet wide, in which is written the words "California street." While the Contract and Finance Company owned land iv Biggs, they made deeds to V. Bunnell, J. R. Buflington, M. Rosenberg and T. R. Fleming of certain portions of It de scribed as being in certain "blocks" as laid down on that map. When Crocker became the owner he made deeds of other lands so described, with reference to that map, to T. R. Fleming, Benjamin Mc- Vay, Sylvanus Shnrtleff', S. .Stockwell, William Bolt and Barney Mushholt. -The map as originally made contained the words, between the front of blocks on tho west side of the railroad track, "California street." A line in pencil running along the space between the front row of blocks on tlie west side, and the railroad track, aud running through the written words, "California street," indicated tho street as sixty feet wide. This line was run in pencil just before the deed of Charles Crocker to the Central Pacific Railroad Company, which deed was not made until April 28, 1880, many years aftor the map was made, and the deeds to tho various parties to whom Mr. Crocker and the Contract and Finance Company had sold blocks or parts of blocks of iand with reference to the map, thu lirst deed of the latter having been I mado as early as August 18,1873, and tho earliest of the former having been May 15, 1878, the last of these deeds to in dividuals having been made by Mr. Crocker on October 11, 1884. The evidonce introduced by the defend ant tended to show that tho public had used this strip marked "California street" as a highway or street for about fifteen years before the commencement of this action, to the extent of eighty feet wide, and that the encroachments removed by the defendant were upon the line of the street, taking it at eighty feet. lt is apparently claimed by the plaint ill's that even if a dedication of the street at eighty feet wide had been offered by the making of the map and the sale of land with reference thereto, that when Charles Crocker, in 1886, deeded the ninety feet wide strip to tho Central Pa cilic Railroad Company, that this was a revocation of the offer, and that up to that timo the public had uever accepted the dedication by user. It was said in People vs. Reed, (81 Cal. 79): "Conceding that a platting of prop erty and sale of lots constitutes a dedica tion, as between the owner and purchas ers under him, of the streets delineated on the map, in order to constitute a dedi cation which can be taken advantage of by tho public authorities of a city, the offer of dedication must have been ac cepted by such authorities, either by user or some formal act of accept ance." AndatpageSOitsaid: "Suehaccept ance must be within a reasonable time after such offer cf dedication, and'if not accepted, the owner may resume the pos session ofthe property and thereby re voke his offer." Tested by these rules, -which seem to have been approved in City of Eureka vs. Croghan (81 Cal. 5:27), and City of Eu reka vs. Armstrong (83 Cal. l__3', it ap pears to ns that in this case there existed a sul-ieicnt offer of dedication, by the making of the map, and the sale of lands with reference thereto. The user by the public for a long timo prior to what is claimed to have been a revocation by the deed of C_uir.es Crocker to the Central Pacific Railroad Company, under whom the plaintiffs claim by lease of the premises, is a suifieient ac ceptance of such offered dedication to make it complete l>efore the attempted revocation, at least to the extent of a street eighty feet in width, which is enough for the purposes of this matter. The further point is made that Charles Crocker, as trustee of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, had no authority to dedicate the laud for a street. It does not appear distinctly from the record, whether the Contract and Finance Com- Eany or Mr. Crocker flrst made the map, ut they both sold land with reference to it, and the land was accepted by the pub lic in using it as a street and highway, as against both of them. But in addition to this, there is nothing in the record to "how any trust exprMned in tho d«v. SACRAMENTO DAILY RECORD-tIKION, MOSTPAY, MARCH 16, 1891.—SIX PAGES. from the Contract and Finance Company to Crocker. On the face of the deed it must be presumed that he took the fee simple title to the laud. (C. C. P. Sec. 1105; Mabury vs. Ruiz. 58 Cal. 11-15.) There is nothing iv the evidence suffi cient to rebut this presumption, or to show any kind of a trust capacity which Crocker bore inconsistent with tho right to dedicate the land. At the most the pit ml evidence was a declaration or opinion of the witness that Crocker held the land in a trust capacity, but as to the character of that trust no evidem.e whatever is given. We think the evidence sufficient to sus tain the finding, and advise that the judgment and order be affirmed. I'OOTE, C. I concur: Van- Ci.ief, C. I concur in tho conclusion. llayse, C. THE COURT.

After bearing in bank, and due consideration of the caso, we aro satisfied with that opinion, and with tho conclusion therein reached. The opinion is as follows "This action was brought to determine a contest as to the right to purchase from the State a certain hall section of swamp and overflowed land, situate in Tulare County. The trial court gave judgment for tho oliuntiff, from which and from an order denying him a new trial, the de fondant. Hyde, appeals. "The material (acta ofthe case areas follows: On the 2d day of July, 187!'. tho defendant-, Mangan, filed in the r_.tn.tc Survoyor-f.enorr.l's ollico his apnlic:.tr..u to puivhaso a section of land under the law providing for the salo of swamp and overflowed lands. At that time the township in which the section applied for was situated, had not been surveyed, and tho section had not been segregated as swi'.mp and overflowed hmd by au thority of the United States. In KSSOthe township was surveyed in the field, and on the (Un day of February, 1881, lho 'own ship plat was approved by the I'nited Stales Surveyor-!.enoral and filed in his office.

The court below found upon all ths issues against the plaintiff, and gave judgment tbr the defendant, from wiiich and from an order denying a new trial plaintiff ap peals.

Williams A Co. did not soil lo the defendant any of said merchan dise, and defendant did not pur. base the same, and tho defendant was not at the time of tho commencement of this action and is not indebted to tho plaintiff in any sum." This finding, if justified, is conclusive ofthe case. And, after carefully review ing the testimony brought up _____ the record, we think it is justified and must be sustained.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re cently purchased twelve thousand acres of. land In the hesvrt of Tehama County, for the purpose ol promoting subdivision and settle- ment. This land embraces lands from flrst class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to^ land of fair average quality, and is offered at from,Slotos2o per acre, In subdivisions of 40, 80, 120, 160 and 320 acres. L. The terms upon which theseiands are offered are especially attractive. They will be sold ln'^ subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay- ment of interest ontly for three years, at whichf time the purchaser can begin tho payment of •principal by paying the flrst of five equal an nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-£ cipal is to be pisA for three years, and then tho purchaser is to have five years ln which to**_ pay five equal annual installments, with in-' terest at the rat'v of 7 per cent, per annum, making payments extending over a period of eight years. Intending purchasers are ay Btircd that this in an opportunity to purchase land of fair average quality at $10 por acre,/ and good agricultural land at 320 au acre, with other grades of land at prices to corre- spond between these, figures. The assertion is frequently mado that good 1 lands, suitable for general liirming. and espe cially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be had in California for less than from $60 to glOOan acre. An examination of the land 1 subject of this advertisement will prove to home-seekers tliat this ls an opportunity for the purchase of good agricultural land at 820 an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair agricultural l_vnd at $10 an acre, on terms of payment which shonld make the disposition of those lands to actual settlers a result easy of accomplis hlment. The primary ohject of the purchase of this body of land was the breaking up of a largo holding for the purpose of promoting its set tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion to diligent husbandry.

6 CALHOUN, WEBSTER, CLAY. The Blind Chaplain's Reminis- cences of the Old Senate. Peculiarities of the Dlstinsruished Statesmen of Other Days—Webster's Organ Toned Voice Randolph's Tribute to Henry Clay. At the right side of the President's chair, on the Democratic side, sat one of the three men first-sought by the eye of the visitor. lie looked and dressed like a Southern planter, and at the first glance there was little to distinguish him except the marked respect paid him on all hands. He was somewhat above the medium hight, neither broad-shouldered nor stout, erect, grave and somewhat con strained in air and manner. The head, not large, was covered with short, iron gray hair, standing like the quills of a porcupine; the brow, not unusually high nor broad, was deeply furrowed; the complexion had the sallow tinge of the South. It was the steady burning light of the eye, whether he were talking or listening, that first awakened your inter est. When he rose to speak, which was not often, a silent**, that could be felt rested on the chamber; all reading, writ ing, chatting was suspended as the some what sharp and grat ing tones of his voice greeted the ear. He rarely spoke over an hour, but at the close you were exhausted as well as he. Standing in the narrow alley between his own and his neighbor's desk, a band clutching; each, a stream of words rushed from his lips at the rate of ISO to tlie minute. His only action was to use one or other hand to mop his brow with a bandana. There was a little variation in the pitch of his voice, no beauty of diction, no grace of utterance. There were no figures of speech, no efforts at oratory. It was a clear Compact, vivid statement ofthe case; the argument was close.logical, clinching, there was scarcely a redundant word; it was like the demonstration of a problem in Km-lid, until he claimed the functions of a seer, and from the hight of vaticina tion foretold what he declarer! must come to pass. Fp to this point the speech must have been ilry but for his intensity, not demonstrative, and therefore-all the more powerful; it was centered, almost calm, but when he reached his height of vision and clothed himself in prophetic rolies, In was capt, ami si was his hearers; men almost forgot to breathe, all sat rigid, motionless; their eves caught the light of his and whether they agreed or disagreed ■with him, forthe moment he transtbsed bis consciousness through theirs, and they wen- his captives. A logical under standing, depth of conviction, absolute sincerity, intensity of nature, which would have held him composed, nay, made him exultant, amid the agonies of the stake and the lighted fagot, were tho secret of the power in the public speech and private influence of John Caldwell Calhoun. He had in him part of the stuff that, made John Knox and Calvin what they were. The second man your eye would seek sat in front of the chair to the left of the main aisle. In nearly all respects he was tiie opposite of Mr. Calhoun. His frame was m:rs-i\ shoulders broad, chest deep, head, brow—indeed, everything about his build and manner was majestic. The eyes were huge, deep set. overhung by penthouse brows. II is voice had tones as deep and rich ss ever came out of a human lohest. His manner at the beginning ofa speech was deliberate, almost hesitating at times, as if for the right word. The mighty intellect moved slowly at first, •ano: the opening might have seemed dull but for the organ-like tones, the majesty ofthe presence which awed yet fascinated you. Your critical sense was satisfied by lhe choice of the words and the guarded statement of the case. As he went on, the stately argument and manner had now and then a strenuous quality, a flash us'«jf sheet lightning. As his headway in creased the somewhat heavy features lighted up, the deep eyes shone, the pose and movement were more impressive, the sustained swell as the organ-like niu rsic in his tones, fit accompaniment to his large aud lucid paragraphs, subdued and yet uplifted you; when he marshaled his arguments for the close to make the Sen ate, the country, a sharer in his views and its bearing (ju the questions in hand, his port seemed more than human: he was the impersonation of grandeur. A lofty yet simple manner in delivery, a crystal line style, mighty arguments driven home with the force of thunderbolts, and all without appearance of effort, combined with his other attributes, to make him one of the orators of all time. However insignificant you felt in the presence of such power, you rejoiced to be allied to it by the ties of kith and kin, and felt your self more a man for having heard one of the speeches of llaniel Webster. Henry (lay, the other member of the Senatorial triumvirate, as they were named, sat at the extreme left"of the Chair, and nee* led all tho space afforded Vy the transverse aisle to give him room a .*nJ verge when bespoke. He was thin al _.*i rather loosely jointed, yet carried him v*Jt' with such ease, grace and dignity that yovi forgot the short-coming of his build. His hair had been sandy, com plexion light; his eyes were blue, the features.•>! Ids face uncommonly plain, the mouU->«w>nnoualy large, but the ex pression h.id such courage, kindliness, open-hearted sympathy with all sorts and condition**? of mon, that the moment he grasped your hand, and opened his lips, the beam hog eye, the nnaffected cordiality, the matchless harmony and power of his voicC-wrought upon you as a spell, and you W»re ready to declare him the handsomest and princeliest man you hail looked upon or might hope to see. He fascinated alike men, women and children, high and low, white and black. The Whig masses worshiped him, and Democrats loved while they opposed him. John Randolph, of Ro anoke, who, in the frenzy of a partisan debate, had scoffed and flouted Mr. Clay, and in his blind fury heaped the fotilist charges upou him, when he was dying had himself carried into the Senate chamber that he might once more seeand bear the magnanimous man toward whom he had been so unjust; and when Mr. Clay rose to speak Randolph said, in his piping voice: "Raise me up; let me rs.v as ell as hear the man among men." Words fail in the attempt to convey the impression made by Mr. Flay; whether be spoke in the Senate or on the stump, whether you heard and saw him in the tournament of a great debate or only shook hands with him, he affected you as no one else ever did or will. ______ old ministerial friend of mine, who ■waa much in Washington in those days, -and was one of the great Kontuckinn's most fervent admirers, but whose mod esty had kept him from seeking his acquaintance, saw on Pennsylvania avenue one day Mr. Clay approaching and no one else nean plucking up heart as 1 hey met he extended his hand, saying: "Mr. Clay, I am the Rev. Mr. .pastor ■of Wesley Chapel, and from my boyhood 1 have honoreu and loved you." Instantly it was as if the sun had burst from behind a cloud; my friend was bathed in a stream of warmth and light as the kind ling eye and beaming true shone upon Used ia Millions o£ Homes--- 43 Years the Standard him, and Mr. Clay, grasping his hand, thrilled him with his voice, and then put ting his arm into the preacher's, thoy walked toward the Capitol, the diffident man completely at his ease and feeling as if he had known the statesman for years. The conversation, of fifteen minutes which followed so knitted the preacher to Mr. Clay that from that day forth he would have been almost willing to lay down his life for him. Another of my friends, the Key. John B. Hagany, hap pened to see Daniel Webster sitting alone one day on the xiromenado deck of a steamboat, and after making several turns to summon resolutions lor the adventure, stopped in frout of the great representative of Massachusetts, and said: "Mr. Webster." "That is my name," said the organ toned voice. "And I am the Rev. Mr. Hagany, a Methodist preacher, who for many years have admired and honored you'almost more than any living man." "My dear Mr. Hagany," said the other, "pray be seated," pointing to a place by his side. As the preacher obeyed, he felt as if he were admitted to the fabled hights of Olympus, but the divinity of his imagin ation said nothing. Hr. Hagany sat with clasped hands, twirling his thumbs, hop ing to break the silence, which was most embarrassing; and at last, with an effort, said: "We have a fine day, Mr. Web ster." "A singularly fine day," auswered the orotund music. Another long pause, when, rising, the preacher said: "I wish you good morn ing, Mr. Webster." "A very good morning to you, Mr. Hagany," replied the other. If Mr. Webster had been a candidate for the Presidency Mr. Hagany might liave voted for him, but alter the inter view I have described would liave seri ously considered tho claims of the oppos ing candidate. Not so my other friend, who would liave voted for Mr. Clay against the world. I cannot better illus trate the bearing ofthe two men in gen eral society. You never forgot Mr. Web ster's greatness. Mr. Clay at once bound yoa to him by links stronger than steel. Mr. Webster's speeches are read, and will be by posterity, with admiration and profit; Mr. Clay's became at once a part of the nation's life, and contributed largely toward making the country what it is. EGYPTIAN CHANGES. Shaking Off Old Customs—ln the Khe dive's Land. Turkish and Egyptian women are be ginning to insist on emancipation from the bonds under which they have hither to lived. This is due to the ever-increas ing influence wielded by European ladies belonging to the diplomatic corps of Constantinople and Cairo over the inmates of harems. Somo years ago it was almost impossible for foreigners to entor the fenana, but now there is a frequent in terchange of calls between European and .Mahometan ladies, and the steps taken by the latter to claim their rights are a direct result thereof. This is in one sense, perhaps, to be regretted, for although Eastern women havo of late be come less ignorant and worthless than they used to be, yet they are very far from being capable of placing themselves on an equal with Europeans, Should they ever prevail upon the Sultan to grant them their liberty the entire mys tery and poetry of the Kast will disappear, leaving it a poor and tawdry copy of the southern States of Europe. In no part of Egypt are the changes af fected within the last half-century so striking as in and around the capital, which lias become a strange and unpleas ing mixture of modernity and antiquity, very offensive to the eyes of artists. This admirable EUuoun-al-Baschid coloring of the East scattered broadcast among Pa risian shops and -Snglish hotels produces ii most disastrous etlect. re; leen ied only by old Cairo, whore dreamy Arabian legends seem still to linger in'the shelter of some moss-grown harem walls. This bizarre conflict of European and Oriental life has spread, and penetrated till it reaches the very heart of tho Egyptians. The old customs and the old laws, which were as immutable as those of the Modes and Persians, have become re laxed, and even the "yasniak," with which Mahometan ladies used to veil their faces, has lost its impenetrability, and it is scarcely moro now than the or dinary "fiolette" of a Kuropcan woman of fashion. Itis perfectly easy to obtain an audience from any harem lady, or even from the Vice-Queen and the fair natives regard visits from their luckier sisters as ono of their chief distractions. The present Vice-Queen of Egypt speaks pretty good French, and is quite a "grando dame"—so much so, indeed, that it is difficult to realize when in her presence that she is really a harem-born and harem-bred woman. A reception at the Viee-Quccn's is a very brilliant atl'air, and from the very moment when one reaches the Khedive's liari'inlick—a snow-white building sur rounded by a wilderness of cactus, myr tle, orange, oleander and blossoming camellias, shaded by grand old palms and cedar trees, under which fountains mur mur and countless birds twitter —one feels as if one had entered fairyland. Inside the palaco salon after salon opening into one another please the eyo by their mar velous coloring and their costly, if s-ome what gaudy, furniture. A double line of pretty Abyssinian slaves, clothed in white Turkish trousers of silver-em broidered satin, and in tunics of silky crepe profusely bespangled with gold, stand in long rows from the entrance door to the presence chamber. They hold in their hands musical instruments, such as tambourines, tarabouccas and small reed llutes, which emit a doleful but pleasing sound; and as each succeeding guest enters, they bow down to the ground. The sovereign, seated on a throne-like couch of golden hued brocade, half rises, extends her small, dimpled hand to her visitors for the royal "baise-main," and then invites the ladies to sit down and partake of some light refeshments, among which lho fragrant and sweet Turkish coffee, served in jewelled gold filagree cups, takes a prominent place. Candied rose leaves, violets and orange petals, bonbons and fruit aro handed around on golden trays. Then cigarettes are offered, the Khedive giving the example by light ing a verbena-scented papiletto and gracefully carrying it to her crimson lips. Princess Eniineh-Hanem is extremely handsome, although somewhat too stout, and her husband, Khedive Thewlik, is i passionately fond of her—so much so, in deed, that contrary to all Turkish cus- I touts, she is his oniy wife. Tho audience lasts often over half an hour, and is made very pleasant by the gracious and courtly welcome which one is always sure to re ceive from the Khediva, who is ever anxious to hear news from the outer world, and takes as much interest in a chat about fashions and society as any or dinary mondaine. "Feather in His Cap." The Hungarians, during several cen turies, were almost in constant warfare with the Turks, and a custom ariose of a warrior decorating his cap with one feather for every Turk he killed. No one was allowed to wear a feather until he had killed a Turk in fair fight, and the greater number of feathers the greater the prowess. The expression came to Kngland lato in the sixteenth century, ami is found in many authors subsequent to that time.

SACBAMENTO DAILY -RECOIID-t^iON, MO_TsT>AY, MARCH 16, 1891.—SIX PAGES. ___ b THE SHETLANDS. Farming, Fishing and Enjoying Life Under the Polar Circle. The Crofters and Their Holdlhjrs—Shet land and Orkney Towns—lndustry and Hospitality of tho Population— Curious Winter Amusements and Novel Pots—How Crofts Aro llated. Tlie groups of scattered islands to the north of Scotland seem almost beyond the bounds of the civilized world, but to a statement of this kind the people living on them would render an emphatic dis sent. The Slietlands and Orkneys lie, it is true, almost within the bounds of the Arctic Circle, and in what is commonly supposed to be an extremely inhospitable part of tho world, but tho people have laws, schools and churches, send a mem ber to the British Parliament, enjoy a considerable trade, maintain frequent in tercourse with the mainland of Kngland and Scotland, and have so high an opin ion of their rocky home that under any circumstances they are loth to leave it. The approach cither to the Shetlands or Orkneys is forbidding, and calculated to give the stranger an unfavorable impres sion of these last refuges of a northern civilization. The coast is one ofthe wild est and most rocky to be found in any part of the world. No bodies of land of similar size exist anywhere which liave so much sea coast. The sea lino is every where cut into deep inlets, and the action of the waters, continued through ages, has wrought the cliffs into many fantastic forms. Arches, deep caves into which the tide rushes with a crash that appears to shake tlie mountain, huge dill's cut away by the action of wind and tide from the main body and left standing alone like gigantic monuments —vast natural obelisks—abound on every part of the coast. Harbors are not lacking, but tbe pilot needs to be well acquainted with the neighborhood, with the winds, tlie tides and currents, for the entrance to more than one harbor is so narrow that a stone may be thrown from the deck of a ship to the overhanging wall on either side. Tlie islands are more numerous than is commonly supposed. The Shetland group comprises 100 islands, islets and rocks, of which twenty-three are in habited, the principal being the Main land, as Shetland is called, an island sixty miles long by from three to ten in width; Yell, twenty miles by six, and Unset, eleven by five. There are seventy-three islands in the Oakney group, of which twenty-eight are inhabited, with a total area of 10 square miles. The surface of both Shetlands and Oakneys closely re sembles that of North Scotland, being rugged, much broken by ravines, and ex hibiting the finest description of moun tain scenery. Any one of the larger islands is a miniature Scotland, for in an j extremely circumscribed space may bo found most of the characteristics of both highland and lowland. The peoplo have two industries, farm ing ami fishing, but the farming is of a primitive character, and the holdings all I being small, cultivation is mostly done by j use of the spade. Not all crops are adapted to the Shetland climate and soil. Oats, rye and one or two other coarse grains do well, but wheat is likely to fail. The islands are so small that when high winds or heavy storms prevail the sea spray is driven dear across from shore to shove and the salt often ruins the growing crops, which are then said to be sea gusted. All crops are sometimes a failure on this account, but no general famine has ever prevailed in either group, for the i reliance of the people is not soinuch upon agriculture as upon the sea, and their ox jihrts, even in bad crop years, are suffi cient to provide them an abundance even without tbe products of the soil. The small holdings of the tenant farmers are known as crofts, and are rated in one of j four ways. By the first method a fair rent 1s charged, and the tenant works for himself both on land and sea, the land lord having no concern or interest in his labors after the rent has been paid. By the secoud method a rent is paid, Dot the fish, the right to catch which is frequently included iv the croft-holding, are turned over to the landlord. Not as a right nor as a part of the rent, for the landlord purchases the fish, usually at a fair price, dependent on the profit to be made by their sale alter being cured. By the third method a rent is paid, alto gether disproportionod to the presumed value of the property, including tiie right to fish, and the crofter fishes for the land lord, the latter receiving without pay ment all the catch. By the fourth method the land is rented to a middleman, who pays the landlord a fixed sum year by year for a term of years, and then squeezes what he can out of the tenant. The results of the last three of these sys tems have not been favorable, for, of course, the tenant, as well as the land- j lord, is anxious to make the best of the j bargain, and the temptation to duplicity and double dealing is very strong, iii some quarters the lease system prevails, and there is a tendency to make it more general; but as yet the prevailing systems are those already described. The desire to pay no more rent than is absolutely necessary renders the people very cau tious. They wish to appear poor and frequently, instead of depositing in tho banks which do business in several ofthe islands, they put their money into silver and gold coin, and store it away in their houses or conceal it in somo spot known only to themselves. There is a general conviction that the islands are better suited to grazing than to farming, and more attention is now being paid to stock-raising than ever be fore. The stock is not of a high grade, all animals except the cows being small, tho diminutive size being probably duo to the hardships they experience in tlie effort to find a living. Tho stock are never sheltered. The ponies, cows and sheep are allowed to run upon the mountains, and only when the snow falls so deep as to prevent their getting at the withered grass apd herbage underneath, is any attempt made to feed them. The ponies and cattlo eat seaweed when tho grass of the hills gives out, and have even been known to feed ou those portions of the fish which are thrown aside by the cutters iv preparation for drying. Tlie exports of live stock aro considerable, numbering in a year over 2,000 cattle, 1,000 ponies of what are known as tho Shetland breed, and upwards of 1.5,00.) sheep. In addition to live stock, no Shet land farm is complete without a hennery, and millions oi* eggs are every year sent away, as many as 100,000 going by a sin gle steamer. As, already indicated, fishing is the principal industry, to which farming is subservient. The two are generally com bined En the same family, the men doing the fishing, the women the farming. Tlie fisheries are to a certain extent controlled by tho proprietors of the land, but this rule is not universal, for there are some proprietors who own what is known as land-holding and do not control any por tion ofthe fishing rights, nor do the men who actually fish often cure and prepare their own fish for market. Usually the! catch is turned over to professional fish carers, who pay the fishermen for their labor, or for their catch as the case may be, and who sometimes also act as princi pals, furnishing boats, lines, hooks and bait, and receiving a proportion of the product for their investment. The her ring fishery is the most important, and by a right which almost antedates his tory, is participated in by the Dutch. Formerly I,_oo or 1,500 Butch vessels would appear off the coasts of the Shet lands eontemporaniously with the school of herring. Now the numbers are re duced to 200 or 300, but the Dutchmen always come, and are heartily welcome, for they spend their money freely, and during their stay in the neighborhood business in the Shetlands and Orkneys is brisk. The principal town in the Shetland group is Lerwick, the capital, which, to a visitor approaching from tho bay, seems to be an indistinguishable mass oi'gables. The houses are built along tiie line of the shore, on the side of a hill, sloping down to it, and these, gradually rising, give a curious impression that the city is all roof. Lerwick is a populous place, con sidering the island on which it is located, has half a dozen churches, but up to re cently no hotels, although lodging-houses are plentiful, and the far-lamed hospital ity of the Shetlandt rs render even these almost unnecessary. Kirkwall is the principal town ofthe Orkneys, aud the business of tho islands with foreign parts is done through these two ports. The imports consist of breadstuff's, for the islands do not raise enough for their own use; of wood, for only a few stunted trees remain of tho forests" which once covered all the islands; coal and coke, and in par ticular, tea in enormous quantities. Itis a curious fact that the people of northern races usually use more tea than do those of the temperate zones, and there would seem to be something in this stim ulant which peculiarly adapts it to use in tbe extreme north. "The Russians, tbe Scandinavians, the English, Scotch, Si berians, the Northern Chinese, all use it in vast quantities, but in none of these coun tries is tho amount proportionate to the population so great as in the Shetlands, for it is stated as an actual fact* that the amount of tea consumed in the two groups of islands exceeds tho annual land rent. The exports are dry fish, of which over 0,000 tons per annum are sent away; her rings, to the amount of 10,000 barrels a year; and, last but not least, various woolen manufactures. The industry of the Shetland women is phenomenal, and in nothing is it Shown more prominently than their knitting. The Shetland women are never without their needles, and their needles are never without some work in a moro or less ad vanced stage of completion. They knit shawls, cravats, Scotch caps, jackets, stockings and underwear of various kinds, but not all their work is coarse and rough. Under the throat of the Shetland sheep grows very fine wool, which is not cut, bnt gently pulled by hand when the rest of ttie fleece is sheared. Such is the Oneness of this part of tiie fleece that a pound of it will {tarnish an incredible length of yarn, and from it fine woolen veils and laces of various descriptions are knitted, together with stockings so fine that they may be drawn throueh a finger ring, and will cost Slsa pair. Tho fingers Of the women are never still; they knit at their household tasks, while carrying burdens of peat, on their way to market, while sitting in their shops, and so im portant is the product of their knitting deemed that a peasant woman in hiring herself out as a servant will contract that she is to have "-her hands to herself;" that is to say, that the product of her knitting, whatever it may be. shall be ber own, to be sold for her own benefit. The home life of tho people is as regular as their climate will permit, for it should not be forgotten that they aro located so far to the north that in summer there is no darkness, and in winter vary little day. But the climate is not so severe as might be supposed. The islands are sur rounded by a mild sea, being located di rectly in tlie track ofthe gulf stream, and their annual temperature is about 4)'7 Fahrenheit, falling to an average of 30° in January acta February, and rising to an average Of 65** in July and August. Be ing kept indoors during the most of their dark winter, they pass the long hours of morning and evening in knitting and in j training pets. In one house a recent traveler found a pet seal, a sea otter, a Newfoundland dog, a trained sheep, a learned goat, an educated pig, to say nothing of two or three gulls and other i sea fowl, which seemed to have no I capacity for education. Seals as pets are common in the islands and arc very highly prized, the animals showing great intelligence and much affection. The houses of the well-to-do are much like those of people of the same class in the north of Scotland, but on some of the islands the people live in mean hovels, which have neither windows nor chim neys. The loneliness ofa life on the islets is something that civilized com munities have little idea of, Midway be tween the two groups lies a rock known as Fair Isle, and whenever the Steamer from Scotland passes in sight on Its weekly trip, boats put oil' from Fair Isle, and "throw a paper, sir," is the shout which conies up from every boat man. To such an appeal no resistance can be made. All the -mare papers go I over, and not one is lost. In Fair Isle is preserved a custom which is long since abolished in other parts of the archi pelago —the paupers go from one house to another, staying in each a length of time proportioned to the wealth of the family, and are eared for just as members of tho household would be. Fair Isle is also famous in English his tory, for when Phillip's Armada was circumnavigating the British Isles on its way back to Spain a great Spanish vessel was wrecked on this inhospitable island, and two hundred of its crew escaping the waves, took up their quarters with the islanders. As the entire population of tlie island did not exceed 200, the accession speedily occasioned a shortness in food supply. A famine ensued, and tho island ers, becoming desperate, murdered many of the Spaniards, the rest on stolen boats making their escape to the Orkneys, thence home. One entirely unexpected result of the Armada's visit is found in the Spanish knit work, in arabesque patterns and with different colors. This j was taught the island women liy the j Spanish sailors during their stay, and is j found nowhere else in the Orkneys. The people aro a mixed race—Scandi navians and Scottish. Fair hair and blue eyes are common. Both groups were under Scandinavian rule for many ages, and the islands wero the homes of the Norsemen, whose piratical fleets from the harbors of these almost unassailable rocks sallied forth to descend upon the coasts of England and France. Relies of the Scandinavian occupation are seen every where; in ruins, mounds, curious Pietish towers shaped like an hour-glass, wide at the bottom and at the top, Druid circles and other monuments, the use and sig nificance of which are now entirely un known. Tho islands were given in pledge to James 111. by a king of Den i mark, as security that the dowry of his I daughter should be promptly paid, but finding his money of more use than the islands, he never "paid tho dowry and let James keep the islands. They came to (Ireat Britain at the uuion, and although they are the most northern and secluded part of the British Empire, their people in intelligence, industry, manners and morals will compare favorably with those of any other country which sends a mem ber to Parliament. TRUCKEE NOTES. [From the Itepublican ol the IJ th.] Messrs. McKay and Chapman were cir culating a petition this week for the pur pose of raising funds with which to stock Dormer Lake with trout, and they suc ceeded admirably. Rev. Van Deventer arrived in Truckee yesterday en route to Sierra Valley, but could not get through. During the "warm weather the snow Became soft and would not bear up the horses. The advent of spring is near at hand. Blue birds are chirping around Truckee, sun is shining with a tropical warmth, snow is rapidly disappearing, and every one has a smile from side to side. A day or two since a man answering the description of one of the Napa mur derers to a slight degree appeared in Truckee, but no one ventured to lay his hand upon his nibs and say, "Youare my meat." William Irwin is now engaged in tho arduous undertaking of breaking the road to Dormer Lake. But slow progress is made, as the snow is from four to six feet in depth, and at every step the horses strike bottom. An electrician who has made a specialty of spectacular electricity, says the day is not far off when electrical fireworks will supersede those now used. He declares that for a comparatively little outlay he could arrange an electrical display that would last for many years, and could lie repeated as often as desired. It would comprise rockets, Roman candles, wheels, Niagara Falls, and all tho modern pyro technieal effects. In these days of so many alleged cures for consumption, oysters are commended and are given to consumptives because they contain iodine. The treatment is quite common in the South. igioyal *|3_tUmc_ -UomJ-cr.. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov't Report,, Aug. 17, ISSS, E^ @%&@m-.MyOfWOtBF PURS 1 EVERYBODY'S COLUMN.

Record-Union: The Governor says it is claimed by organized bodies of labor through communication to him, that tho eight-hour law on our statute books has been evaded, and that if the failuro to enforce the law arises from an inherent defect in tho law itself, ho trusts tho Legislature will remedy the same. The present Legislature has given us a remedy, but our Governor has seen fit to veto it, and in our mind his points are not well taken. The amendment is as lollows Uiote this clause): "Every con tractor or sub-contractor shall agree theri-in and thereby, in addition to the foregoing provisions, not to require or knowingly permit any person or persons performing work of any nature towards the completion of said "work specified ip said contract moro than eight hours in any one day." Now the word "knowingly" used in tho foregoing clauso to our mind was overlooked by our worthy Governor. LeU us imagine the present "postollice build ing is to be constructed under the new law just vetoed. Men start in to break ground, and afier a few days some one complains that the law is being evaded, although the laborers on the ground have worked but eight hours in any one day. It is found on investigation that tho shovels used, the picks, derricks and various other tools too numerous to men tion, were manufactured by some firm in the East, which worked its men ten or moro hours in tho manufacturing of the same. By the mode of reasoning used by the Governcr, the contractor or sub-con tractor would forfeit all that might be coming to htm as a compensation for work done. Tho contractor can have no knowledge of how long the lumberman, millman or ironman may have worked their men, and, having no knowledge, cannot be held. Tho Governor's interpretation of the law proposed is too far-reaching, ancl it was never intended that any such in terpretation should be put upon it. Now, what is a sub-contractor? Web ster says: One who takes a portion of a contract as, for work, from a principal contractor. In our opinion, this does not apply to those furnishing materials, cut ting of lumber or the manuiVn-turing of tools. Tho line must be drawn some where. In the construction of a'building tho contractor, wo will say, will go to some competent mechanics, such its brick and stone-masons, fonndrymon and car penters, and say: "What will you do a certain amount of such work for?" Alter consideration on the part of the sub-con tractor, he gives tho contractor the amount or a price that he, the sub-con tractor, will perform such specified work for. Under the law just vetoed, tho sub-con tractor would be compelled to work his men but eight hours in any one day on this building. Uuder the present "law the contractor and sub-contractor both can and do violate the law. Again to quote: "The contractor or sub contractor must not knowingly permit any person or persons performing any work of any nature towards completion of work specified in said contract, to work more than eight hours in anyone day." We would ask the Governor what bearing docs the cutting of lumber, mak ing of brick or furnishing of various materials that go to tho construction of a building, have on a contract that was made months, yes years, after such material was manufactured And how could the contractor be held for violation of the law when the labor may havo been performed at ten or twelve hours per day on materials that go into construction of a building, and perhaps some of said work was done beforo the contractor was born? Tho Governor says no law should be framed to prevent a man from work ing as many hours as ho pleases if he ob tains corresponding pay. Again he says: "It is claimed by organized labor in a communication to me, that the eight-hour law is being evaded," and he trusts that we will remedy the same. Now take any number of Government or State em ployes, working under the eight-hour law, and ask them if they are willing to work double time at double pay. We venture to say that from their own sel fishness they would do so, and yet the Governor would not oppose it. Our State Printing Office at present has a rush of work, and many of tho employes aro compelled to work extra time with oxtra pay. Would it not be better to divide the work with the many idle printers and other employes seeking employment thereby driving poverty from the door of those seeking to earn the necessaries of life and better their condition. We quote again: "It appears to me that the eight-hour law, as it stands, would be effectual if a penalty were added, or somo means de vised to compel its enforcement." The proposed law, in our opinion, gives us tho remedy, wherein it says that in all contracts it must bo stipulated that this work must be done at eight hours per day, and it holds the contractor and sub contractor, and makes the law binding. We believe the law vetoed would answer the purpose, and could not be eonstmed te the detriment of the contractor, but would only apply to work done or to be done immediately on the premises under State control. Let the Stato set the example and not be a violator of her own laws. We see the present United States eight-hour law violated to-day on our present Govern ment building, with no remedy, and trust our present Legislature will givo us re lief. The principle on which all wace-earn ers organize is to shorten their hours of labor and to better their condition gen erally.

Busy Fruit-Growers in a Pretty Yolo Valley —Tancred and Its Adjoining Farms. TN THE SPRING OF BAST YEAR Robert A. and Heal D. Barker associated themselves with William McKay, all of Oak land, with a view of searching out a suitable location in which to engage in the profit:,'.;e occupation of fruitgrowing. After visiting many localities, they decided on the Capay Valley, Yolo County, and the Rhodes tract at Tancred. Negotiations were opened with the Capny Valley Band Company, owning the tract in question. Vith W. H. Mills, the General Agent of .that company, they arranged for the purchase of about 220 acres of foothill land. This being more than they had thought of taking for their own use, they spoke to a number of friends about it. with the result thai the tract was divided among tho follow ing people: B. L. Hickok. 40 acres; w. r. Barnett, 20 acres; N. X. Greathead, 20 acres; Mrs. L. Greathead, 20 acres; W. McKay, 20 acres; N. B. Barker. 20 acres; R. A. Barker, 20 acres; J. P. Brownlee, 20 acres; E. H. Has lett, 10 acres; Joseph Barker, 10 acres; A. W. Kelly, 10 acres, and Frederick Kelly, io acres. So far this had been merely a private ven ture of the gentlemen above named, bnt ln talking up the question of dividing the land already purchased, It was found that so many more would like to join it than the area of tho purchase would admit of, that it was sug gested on all hands, "Why not get some moro land and divide it up in the same way?" Then followed the idea of a stock com pttny to take hold of a larger tract and arrange for the culti vat ion of the whole of it, after subdi vidi ng it according to the requirements of the sub scribers. A provisional board was formed, a prospectus issued, and finally, on the oth of June, IS9O, the Western Co-operative Col onization and Improvement Company was duly registered and proceeded to business, with the following officers: President, Will iam McKay; Vice-President, M. P. Brown; Birectors—ll. c. Eliis, Charles Brooke and B. A. Barker; Secretary and General Manager, Neai I). B irker; Solicitor, C. E. Snook; Treas urer, First .National Bank of Oakland. The balance ofthe tract, 37:; acres, was pur chased. A contract was entered into for tho purchase ot a larje number of fruit trees, vines, etc. This early purchase of trees was the means of saving between $3,000 and §•1,000 to the company, the prices In somo cases having more than doubled since then. The idr*as which the prospectus set forth have been but slightly modified and tho progress of the company has been uninter rupted. Those who went into it doubtingly have become enthusiastic, and almost all the members arranged to set out ali their lands iv fruit lre*es, etc., the first year. Consequently in this, the lirst season, some 40,000 trees and between 20,000 and 30,000 vines will bo planted. The satisfactory working of tbis scheme has had the effect of .attracting considerable at- J tcntion to the work of the Colony Company, and a number of people are now desirous of' ,'oining in with them. An additional 20O* a.-r, s have been added to the sixty aerc* originally purchased. For the company is predicted a very bright future, as well as forthe beautiful valley in which their operations are conducted. How this marvelous little garden has come to be so long neglected ls a puzzle to every one who I has visited it, but one thing is very sure, and. that is that this neglect will never again bo felt in the valley. The fruits set out are mostly of tho standard vai Mies—peaches, apriuots, Bartlett pr.*ars, prunes, tigs, _______ grapes, etc., while along* both sides of the avenues, throughout the. tract, walnuts will throw their graceful shade. A considerable number ol citrus trees arc also being set out; quite a sufficient number to demonstrate that these fruits can be success fully grown in the valley, about which tho colonists appear to have no doubt, provided proper care Is given to the-young trees. Neai' B. Barker, General Manager of the company,, resides on the tract, and to his care is to be as crtbed much of the success of the venture. Mention should be made of the town-site." about which there is a pleasant Innovation) which might with profit be followed by moro, ambitious places, a ...all park of some three* acres bus been laid out right in the* center of the town. This park it is proposed to beautify, by planting in it from time to time as many of tho beauties and curiosities of tree and. shrub life- as may be obtained by diligent, search and a wise expenditure of money. it is not expected that Tancred willrever be gJ large and busy city, but it is thought that'it, can bo made a very pleasant little placo Ho* dwell in. A petition has been circulated recently and very largely signed, asking ihe county to njrO eept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a> county road, and to build a bridge across Cache Creek at this point, in order to five the settlers on the east side of the creek accessto' Tancred Station. The Tancred colonists ru-.-' quite willing to give the nce-cssary right or\ way, and are very desirous of having a bi iclgo/ there, as the colony lamls extend along birth Bides of the stream. It is thought, that it) would be* a very wise expenditure ot pubQcJ money to grant them this very necessary im-; provement, as the operations or such e-om panie-s are*, of widespread benefit to the whoie V county and State. The attractions and com forts of the cities are well known, but to thoso who are willing to settle on the land and show that the country also affords attractions and comforts and ways of making money pleas antly, every inducement should be held forth. The following is a list of the principal menu bersof the Tancred Colony, with the number of acres owned by ouch, nnd a ia *t worthy vt mention ls that In each contract or deed is sued by the Colony Company there is a pro" vision that no Intoxicating liquor shall ever be manufactured or sold on the land The an parent success ofthe enterprise shows that, the ideas and plans of the colony, as set forth, in the prospectus some timo ago, are not i,« practical.:,*: C.
