COAST NEWS BOILED DOWN General Freight Agent Smurr of the Southern Pacific company says that there will be 400 cars of oranges in all to be moved under the new 90 cent rate, which will be in effect until March 1. Both Smurr and General Traffic Manager Gray think that the shipping to the East of the cheap oranges that are being carried under the new rate will prove a mistake. George Smith was sentenced last week to ten days' imprisonment and $150 fine for violation of the Pomona anti saloon ordinance. Two weeks were spent in getting thereby authorized to use the whole land and naval force of the United States to carry the same into effect, and to issue to private armed vessels of the United States commissions or letters of marque and general reprisal in such form as he may think proper, and under the seal of the United States against the vessels, goods and effects of the Government of the said United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the subjects thereof." Congress passed, in nine sections of ordinary length, another bill, at the same time the above was adopted, declaring war against Great Britain, and this gave in detail some directions as to how the war should in general terms be conducted. The War of 1812 was mostly conducted on water by naval forces, and hence the directions of Congress related principally to the movement of friendly and unfriendly ships, the capture of foes on the water, and the enlistment of men for land and sea, their armament and provisioning. President Madison sent his original message to Congress on the British War on June 1, 1812, and although the declaration of war became law eightteen days later, it appears not to have been the unanimous wish of Congress. The Bill originated in the House, and was passed June 18th, with concurrence of Senate amendments, by a vote of 79 to 49. It was passed by the Senate that day by a vote of 19 to 13. Commercial interests of the Atlantic slope were opposed to war, which meant blocking the ports, and this fact accounts for the small majority of the war party. The message of President Madison was transmitted in confidence, and its consideration by the House was in executive session. When the House passed the original bill it requested the Senate to consider it in confidence, which it did. War Impeaching Between Russia and China. China has always regarded Corea as a vassal, and even now exacts an annual tribute from her. She has become fully aroused concerning the rapid advance of Russia in the COAST NEWS BOILED DOWN General Freight Agent Smurr of the Southern Pacific company says that there will be 400 cars of oranges in all to be moved under the new 90 cent rate, which will be in effect until March 1.

George Smith was sentenced last week to ten days' imprisonment and $150 fine for violation of the Pomona anti saloon ordinance. Two weeks were spent in getting a jury, which convicted the accused in fifteen minutes. The case has been stubbornly contested in every point and it will be appealed. The Atlantic Transport Line steamer Missouri sailed from New York March 12th, on a mission of mercy to Lubean, on the Baltic Sea, in Northern Russia. President Baker of the Atlantic Transport Line offered the steamer to W.C. Edgar, Manager of the North Western Miller, to carry 2,000 tons of food which were collected for the lamine-stricken peasants of Russia. Late in the afternoon Baker received a telegram from Edgar accepting the offer, which is equivalent to a contribution of $20,000. The Missouri is commanded by Capt. Gatz, who was her chief officer at the time of the Denmark's rescue. Everything in connection with the Missouri's trip will be free. State Controller Colgan reports that coyote scalp demands at $5 a head continue to come in and threaten to bankrupt the State. Up to the 19th of January the amount of warrants drawn for payment of the bounty was $56,645. The amount of certificates issued by the clerks during the first and second quarters, ending June 30th and September 30th, 1891, respectively, was $59,615, so that certificates to the amount of $2,970 for the first two quarters remain to be paid. None of the claims for the December quarter have yet reached the Controller's office. From a comparative statement furnished by the State Controller, showing the amounts due on certificates issued by the clerks of the various counties for the three quarters, the extent of the coyote-killing business is readily gathered. In the nine months ended December 31, 1891, Fresno county hunters earned $8,650. In some of the other counties the figures for the same period are: Kern, $12,635; Los Angeles, $6,005; Merosed, $5,555; Modoc, $3,265; Monterey, $3,955; San Bernardino, $7,615; San Diego, $6,745; San Luis Obispo, $5,380; Tulare, $9,940. A Very Common Want. "Out of sorts," "disturb," "the blues," these are familiar appellatives for uncomfortable, undefinable sensations, accompanied with lasitude, nervousness, indigestion. Poverty of the blood, to remedy which an effective stomach persistently used is the paramount need, is conclusive evidence that the system is insufficiently nourished because—and for no other cause where organic disease does not exist—the food is not assimilated. Reliefforce the fagging energies of the stomach, reform the irregular condition of the bowels, keep up his secretion of old with hostilities. In march 1892 this popular medicine has supplied the common want of the nervous invalid, the dyspthetic and of persons deficient in vitality, an efficient tonic. To its power of imparting strength is attributable its efficacy as a preventive of malaria and laxipride. Thoroughly effective is it too for rheumatism, kidney complaint and neuralgia.

The message of President Madison was transmitted in confidence, and its consideration by the House was in executive session. When the House passed the original bill it requested the Senate to consider it in confidence, which it did. War Impeaching Between Russia and China. China has always regarded Corea as a vassal, and even now exacts an annual tribute from her. She has become fully aroned concerning the rapid advance of Russia in the East and her designs on Corea, and has accordingly strengthened her armies along the entire Siberian frontier. War with Russia she expects any day and is constantly preparing for it. An attack upon Corea would, in the Chinese way of looking at it, be a declaration of war against China, and would be the signal of a commencement of hostilities along the entire boundary of China and Siberia. To prepare for this state of affairs, China has begun in the past year a system of military roads and railways along the frontier which will enable her to throw at a short notice any number of her millions of soldiers at any threatened point for attack or defense. Whatever efforts her opponents may take to check her it is only a question of time when the Russian armies will advance upon Corea, her forces seize the ports and the Russian flag will wave over this newly acquired part of the Czar's Empire. With the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway, when the Russians can throw their armies upon the entire frontiers of Corea, China and India, and advance from any or all of these points simultaneously everything will be in readiness, and the Russian Bear will have obtained his objective point in the far East, and can then turn his undivided attention to the seizure of the Bosphorus, thus completing his export outlets to the world's highways. All on Account of a Kiss. It was only a kiss he waited, but she wouldn't do it, and she screamed. The police appeared, and took both in charge. Then a sudden awakening to a realization of their position ensued and she would not give her name nor prefer a charge against him, so both were allowed to go. Such is the harrowing half-hour drama enacted by a man and a woman at other evening at 89 Fourth street and at the Southern Police Station, where the denouncement of the stirring events took place in a bashful retreat of all parties. All this happened in the wicked city of San Francisco. The woman in the case is unknown by name, but she must live not far from 89 Fourth street, where she man tried to seize her by stealth and force a tid bit known as a kiss. The man is S. Hickstadtt, Secretary of the well-known Bakers' Protective Association. It seems from the hysterical statements of both that Hickstadtt put his loving arms about the slender waist—that much he acknowledged; then she screamed and tried to throw herself upon the pavement beneath, but he held on, while her screaming summoned Policemen McCarthy and Phillips, who took the couple in tow to the Southern Station, where the story might have a half chance of being unraveled. At the police station she pleaded that she might be relieved of making her identity known, and the man that he might go unarrested. As she refused to prosecute him Highest Price Paid for Produce.

The following is the only war declaration that ever emanated from the Congress or the President of the United States, and it stands upon the Federal statutes of to-day, the same as a law granting a private pension, or giving a soldier bounty and back pay: "Be it enacted (etc.) that war be and is hereby declared to exist between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the dependencies thereof and the United States of America and their Territories; and that the President of the United States is the food is not assimilated.

The Planets in the Evening Sky. Within the past few weeks star-gazers have been struck by the conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Venus, which are to be seen every evening in the western sky They have been so close together that the rays of one impinged on the rays of the other They are, in fact, 400,000,000 miles apart; and the smaller planet being so much nearer the earth than its companion appears the larger and the brighter though in fact its bulk is 1,400 times less than that of Jupiter.The light of Jupiter is white and that of Venus is red. The orbits of both planets are known,and astronomers know that Venus would intervene between the earth and Jupiter,so that if the latter body had been larger or nearer we should have witnessed an actual transit There is thus nothing surprising in the spectacle which the evening sky affords.But all over the celestial world singular porturbations appear to be taking place.Pressor Holden notify us that there is a new spot on the sun.of such prodigious size and brilliancy that it can be observed by the naked eye through a piece of smoked glass.No such disturbance has been witnessed since 1883.Simultaneously there is an extensive commotion on Jupiter.The great belts and spots on that planet are brightening and becoming more conspicuous; their appearance changes with such rapidity that the telescopic observer has to be lively to follow them.What does all this mean? It cannot be that this is accidental.Nothing in the celestial world is the fruit of accident.Everything is due to the operation of fixed lawsThere must be something going on upon the surface of this great incautate planet which we cannot even conjecture and which is connected in some way with the appearance of the angry spot on the sun.Jupiter is supposed to be in an early stage of planetary development—the stage through which the world passed in the afoic age.

As the giant planet sweeps through its enormous orbit, with almost inconceivable colority it gradually cools, solidifies and wraps its fiery gases in a crust. The fragments which it throws off, and which form satellites or moons, cool and become covered with a crust. For anght we know, they may be inhabited; the parent orb cannot, unless we assume an order of created beings very different from anything we can conceive. Are the changes which are being observed in the belts and spots of Jupiter indications of convulsions attendant upon its transition from a gaseous to a solid form? Nothing is still, either on the earth or in the heavens. All over the world the sea is either encroaching upon the land or the land is driving back the sea. Seaports of yesterday are upland downs to-day. Ships sail over the spires of drowned cities of antiquity. So in the heavens, stars which astronomers have watched from the dawn of astronomy sometimes vanish, as a gas jet turned off. Other stars, which have been classed as stars of the fourth and fifth magnitudes, sometimes burst forth into dazzling brilliance and become suns. We have no record of these revolutions. Our period of observation has been too short, when compared with the period of creation, to furnish material for comparison. There may have been a time when the earth was gaseous and hundreds of times its present bulk, when inhabitants of Mars and Venus observed us as a bright star, with belts and a dense atmosphere and many moons. But to the most ancient of the Chaldeans the world and its starry firmament were what we find them now, and there is little prospect that we shall ever know what they were then. The Champion Anchor Man. Among the arrivals in Williamsport'a few days ago was John Hanson Craig, wife, child and attendants. Craig is known to fame as the largest man in existence or that ever did exist. When interviewed, shortly after he reached town, he was found seated on three Middletown and Hartford. There are no dogs in Connecticut that are equal to a battle with wildcats, and several hounds and setters that incidentally got on the trail of cats were ripped to pieces in New London and Middlesex counties. Not long ago wildcats killed half a dozen half-grown pigs in the towns of Franklin and Lebanon, north of Norwich. At Ayer's mountain, in Franklin, six miles north of Norwich, is a great underground den that is frequented by foxes and wildcats. Ten years ago wildcats were believed to be extinct in Connecticut, but in the last half a dozen years the animals have come into the state and bred in great numbers. One reason is found in the fact that a great many farmers have abandoned their farms in the hill towns which are more sparsely populated today than they were even fifty or a hundred years ago. Many farms have become densely covered with brush and woods, in which wild animals find abundant cover. Foxes have multiplied, and four or five deer have been seen by the farmers this fall in many towns in eastern Connecticut. Wildcats are now quoted in the Connecticut fur market. Their hides are worth to the hunters from 25 to 75 cents apiece. Pensioners Abroad. The bill introduced into the House by Representative Newberry of Illinois, cutting off pensions to foreigners and non-residents of the United States, is becoming a subject of great international interest. The dispatches state that in one province of Canada alone over 1,300 people will be affected by the proposed legislation, and General Newberry himself estimates that foreign beneficiaries of the pension laws aggregate at least 15,000. In an interview General Newberry said: "After the war foreigners who had come here as soldiers of Craig took advantage of the liberal pension laws and returned to their native country, where they have ever since lived, rearing families on the money paid them by the United States. It is not now nor was it ever their purpose to return Between Russia and China.

The Champion Anchor Man. Among the arrivals in Williamsport’a few days ago was John Hanson Craig, wife, child and attendants. Craig is known to fame as the largest man in existence or that ever did exist. When interviewed, shortly after he reached town, he was found seated on three chairs in the dining room of his hotel. His weight is 907 pounds; height 6 feet and 5 inches; measurement around the hips 8 feet 4 inches; thighs, 66 inches. In other portions of his body he is comparatively small, having a hand over which a No. 7 glove fits neatly, a foot encased in a No. 9 shoe and a head which takes only a 71 hat. At the present time he is 35 years of age, but when 2 years old he took a prize of $1000 for being the heaviest baby in the world, weighing then 200 pounds. When in need of a suit of clothes he is under the necessity of buying 213 yards of double width or 42 yards of single width cloth, or within one yard of what it would take to make six suits for that many ordinary sized men. A Man Under the Red. Between 9:30 and 10 o'clock Sunday night of last week, a commotion was caused at the Leonard Swan residence, up at Santa Rosa, by the discovery and capture of a burglar. It seems that just after the two young ladies of the household had retired a man tried to enter their room by the window. He was awkward in his stealth and the window fell in with him. One of the girls sprang up just in time to see the man trying to get under the bed. She started for the door to call for help and the man grabbed her by the ankles and throw her to the floor. The other girl was out of bed by this time and they both turned on the intruder and succeeded in pinning him to the floor. They clutched him by the throat and choked him until he turned purple in the face. The cries for help brought a little boy to the spot and they dispatched him for the Deputy Sheriff at the jail. That officer soon arrived and relieved the girls from their unpleasant position. The man, who gave the name of Frank Dever, was hauccuffed and taken to jail. Wildcats Galore. In the Connecticut valley hunters are having big sport with wildcats this season. John Nelson, a stalwart Swede of Chester Village, got the liveliest cat the other-morning that has been killed in the State in a year. John dwells in the Cedarville district of Chester, on the edge of a vast wild country, in which is Watrous pond, and that is the best gunning region in the valley. Nelson was on the way to visit his traps in a big swamp, but he had left his gun at home. Just before plunging into the swamp he passed the site of an old steam saw-mill, and his dog growled and dashed into a pile of saw-dust and rubbish there. In a moment the hound became terribly excited, easing to drive his nose into a pile of slabs, and the trapper conjectured that he had to do with a wild beast of unusual ferocity. He got a heavy club and began to throw down the slabs, and in a moment, with a frightful snarl, a monster wildcat leaped out of cover and prepared for a spring at the dog. That discreet animal, however, cast only one glance at his enemy, then he turned and fled at full speed toward the house. The cat crouched for a leap at Nelson. It glared for The Real Ramona. The identification of the heroine of Helon Hunt Jackson’s “Ramona” is not a disputed question so far as Rev. Fr. Ubach of San Diego is concerned. He it was who gave that good friend of the Indians the skeleton of facts for her romance, and which he says she did not exaggerate in embellishing. There is a dark page in the story which was omitted because there were then members of Ramona’s family living in this county. Her half sister is still living here, somewhere in the mountains near Banning, Fr. Ubach thinks; and when he last heard of Ramona she was residing in Sonora, Mexico, with her children. This statement was made to him while on a visit to that state, and by three leading business men who knew of her history and family connections. It is very annoying. Fr. Ubach tells The Great Southwest, to be continually hearing of the aged squaw, living near San Jacinto, who claims to be the Ramona of that tale; for while her name may be the same, she is in no way connected with the story. Because of prudential reasons the family name of Ramona has not yet been made public, and for the reason that socrery had been imposed upon Fr. Ubach, who is Fr. Gaspara of the volume. He not only knew the whole of her heroine’s history, but knew her and admired the identical Alessandro of the romance. There are still a few of this type, muscular build and noble character, to be found in the country about Santa Ysabel. Fr. Ubach says Alessandro was a descendant of one of the most intelligent mission Indians, while Ramona was the child of an Indian mother and a father who traced his descent through the granddeses of Spain. Many visitors to San Diego have carried away in their “Ramona” volumes the autograph of Fr. Ubach, with its quaint rubric—to show that there is not only a basis of fact to the story, but that one of its characters is living here and always ready to give correct information about the book’s inscription—Great Southwest. Amelie Rives as an Artist. From the sensational and odd in literature, Amelie Rives has, so it is said, transferred her affections and her talents to nude in art. A painting hangs in the drawing-room at Castle Hill her near Cochabim not In the Evening Sky. At few weeks star-gazers fly the conjunction of the Moon and Venus, which are to be seen in the western sky. They together that the rays on the rays of the other, 400,000,000 miles apart; a sun, being so much nearer companion, appears the lighter, though in fact its less than that of Jupiter. It is white and that of with planets are known, and that Venus would intersect and Jupiter, so that had been larger or nearer stressed an actual transit, bringing surprising in the specimen sky affords. But all world singular porturbation taking place. Professor is that there is a new spot such prodigious size and can be observed by the piece of smoked glass,rance has been witnessed unusually there is an oxten-Jupiter. The great belts planet are brightening and apprehensions; their appearance rich rapidity that the telescope to be lively to follow all this mean? It cannot incidental. Nothing in the fruit of accident, to the operation of fixed but something going on this great incubate plauson seven conjecture and which come way with the appear-spot on the sun. Used to be in an early stage equipment—the stage through massed in the azoic age. It just before plunging into the swamp he passed the site of an old steam saw-mill, and his dog growled and dashed into a pile of saw-dust and rubbish there. In a moment the hound became terribly excited, easing to drive his nose into a pile of slabs, and the trapper conjectured that he had to do with a wild beast of unusual ferocity. He got a heavy club and began to throw down the slabs, and in a moment, with a frightful snarl, a monster wildcat leaped out of cover and prepared for a spring at the dog. That discreet animal, however, cast only one glance at his enemy, then he turned and fled at full speed toward the house. The cat crouched for a leap at Nelson. It glared for an instant at the startled hunter and its lips were drawn up, showing its long glittering teeth; then with a frightful cry it sprang at the man. With ready agility Nelson leaped to one side and the cat missed him. Thereupon Nelson turned swiftly and with his club raised rushed on the beast, aiming a tremendous blow at its grizzly head. But the cat was too quick for him; it dodged the blow and then rushed full at the hunter's body. It fastened its long, sharp claws in the man's clothes at the waist and in an instant ripped great strips of cloth out of his trousers, together with pieces of his flesh. The battle now became a hand-to-hand fight, and Nelson, gripping his club at the middle, rained blow after blow on the head of his tough foe. The combatants were about even matched and in vain the cat twice attempted to make a second spring at the Swede's face; so it contented itself with ripping up his trousers and his legs, while Nelson with short bows jabbed his club against the beast's head and body. His rapid strokes finally told on the beast, and after a minute its hold on the trapper was loosened and it fell backward to the ground. Before it could regain its strength Nelson pounded its head until life was extinct, then picked up its careless, slung it over his shoulder and took it home. The cat weighed over thirty pounds. All the region between Chester on the Connecticut river and New London on the Thames river, ten miles eastward, has long been frequented by wildcats, and not less than two score cats have been killed thereabout in the last two or three years. In East Lymme, which is three or four miles west of New London, there is a great chaotic wilderness, with forests of big bowlers, that is the most important nursery of wildcats in the state. In Chester is an immense and almost impassable swamp, with little ponds, a land of tangled thickets and quaking bogs, that is also an important breeding place of cats. From the two haunts noted the wild beasts go forth to all parts of the state, and several of them have been shot by bird hunters within a few miles of New London, Norwich, Just before plunging into the swamp he passed the site of an old steam saw-mill, and his dog growled and dashed into a pile of saw-dust and rubbish there.

A painting hangs in the drawing-room at Castle Hill, her home, near Cobham, not far from Richmond, Va., entitled "The Wood Nymph." The nymph is a young woman clad in the airiest of draperies. The axiom that beauty unadorned is adorned most is fully carried out. The most interesting feature of work, however, is that it is unmistakably and undeniably a portrait of the artist herself. There is no escaping the resemblance. It thrusts itself upon you at the first glance. The features, the hair, the color, expression and carriage of the figure are identical with the personal traits and characteristics of the author-artist herself. The picture would appear to have been painted from a reflection in a mirror—a not uncommon trick in art. Hard for a Foreigner to Understand. The construction of the English language must appear rather formidable to a foreigner. One of them, looking at a picture of a number of vessels, said, "Sea what a flock of ships!" He was told that a flock of ships was called a fleet, and that fleet of sheep was called a flock. And it was added for his guidance in mastering the intricacies of our language that a flock of girls is called a bevy, that a bravy of wolves is called a pack, that a pack of thieves is called a gang, and a gang of angels is called a host, and a host of porpoises is called a herd, and a herd of children is called a troop, and a troop of partridges is a covey, and a covey of beauties is called a galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians is called a bride, and a bride of rabbits is called a hearp, and a heap of oxen is called a drove, and a drove of blackguards is called a mob, and a mob of whales is called a school, and a school of worshipers is called a congregation,and a congregation of engineers is called a corps,and a corps of robbers is called a band,and a band of locusts is called a swarm,and a swarm of people is called a crowd.
