Looking back on Chicago day, the most wonderful thing about it is seen to be the handling of the money at the World's Fair gates. As the crowds pushed up to the ticket-sellers' booths all day long, the money kept accumulating in the little shelves in the tiny booths until it rose in wavering, unsteady piles of greenbacks and pyramids of silver coins. As the day wore on the ticket-sellers fought to keep the money in the shelves; but they needed more hands than they were possessed of, for it took two hands to take in the money, make change and pass out the tickets. Presently the silver began to slide upon the floor in each booth, and the greenbacks refused to keep in their heaps. Then the men were forced to do a strange thing. They swept the paper and coin off the shelves and down upon the floor. Word of all this was sent to the treasurer of the fair. The news came simultaneously with the knowledge that he would that day be able to wipe out the indebtedness of the great corporation, to pay the bondholders, and to start upon a career of profit with a human hand holding a spear. Further excavation revealed the entire figure of a man clad in fur garments and perfectly preserved by his cold bed. Near at hand were also the remains of a deer, which the hunter had doubtless lost his life in pursuing to this treacherous spot. The frozen man was an Indian of noble build, and wore a chief's amulet about his neck. That he died by cold was to be plainly seen by his expression, which was the placid one of persons who die thus. The skin of his face and hands were drawn like parchment, but that protected by his clothing was firm and natural as if death had come within the hour. When found by his friends Smithers was trying to reinter the corpse in order to preserve it, but the action of the air had already begun, and the body soon wasted away in rapid dissolution. It is impossible to say how long it had lain buried in the natural ice house—perhaps before Henry Hudson sailed the bay to the east; perhaps when Christianity was dawning on earth or the pyramids were in course of construction. DESPERADO MELENDREZ. San Diego, Nov. 10.—Calistro Melendrez, the noted horsethief, bandit and murderer, was caught at Juarez, Lower California, with a drove of stolen houses about the middle of October. The horses were from San Bernardino county, and an effort was made to extradite Melendrez, but the Mexican authorities wanted him for crimes previously committed on the peninsula, and he was sentenced to serve a long term in the Mexican army, according to the common practice for disposing of dangerous criminals. News was received from Juarez via Campo yesterday that Melendrez escaped a few days ago from Ensenada cuartel with an army rifle and a belt full of cartridges and made his way back to Juarez. He was accompanied by an American desperado whose name was not learned. The latter was also heavily armed, carrying a pistol and knife. Melendrez was perfectly at home, and found no difficulty in eluding pursuit. He and his companion headed for the American line, keeping low in the daytime and traveling by trails at night. They lived freely upon every prospector they ran across, and did not suffer for food. At a placer camp at Juarez the two despotos entered the cabin of a Mexican miner, finding the wife and daughter at home. Melendrez proposed an assault upon the silver to exporters without considerate and then proclaimed that the Sherman was driving gold out of the country address asserts that the Sherman acceded with the establishment of a gold card, and that the New York and Newark banks and the present administration of the United States and the Gladstone movement in England conspired to force its government. As far as can be traced Secretaries Gresham and Ogle have at present no intention of making request. MIDWINTER FAIR. After nearly two weeks' continuous tiations between the General Electric company of Chicago and Director-Gene Young of the Midwinter Exposition which at one time looked as if no age was possible, the matter culminated week in the signing of a highly imprint contract. The Midwinter Fair secured this contract for largest search fight world for use of the exposition gate. The wonderful light has a reflector fitted in circumference. It is of 2,500,000 power, and will throw light the distance 10 miles of such intensity that a new can be read under its rays. It will throw light so that a ship can be gushed at a distance of many miles great light will be erected on top of this critical tower in the center of the ground. Another important feature of the fair is the transfer of the immense amount of fountain at the World's Columbian Exposition to California. This fountain, which would be erected in the grand court of this winter exposition grounds, is composed 19 distinct fountains and has over 24 lets. It requires 500,000 gallons of per hour to feed it, under a pressurefect per head. By the contract the elephant company is compelled to erect the fountain and to take full charge and run it throughout the entire six months of the fair. The contract also provides that this paly shall formish 8,500 incarnations to be divided into two systems—3,000 units per system. Presents to its Year ed, so don't delay.

It is difficult to predict the effect the recent elections will have on the tariff bill now being formulated by the Democratic majority of the Ways and Means Committee. Chairman Wilson declares the passage of the very measure now under consideration will be the only thing useful to restore public confidence and replace the Democratic party on the pedestal of political supremacy. But many prominent men in the party do not agree with him, and these will counsel moderation in the tariff revision. Moderate tariff men in the Democratic party were pretty effectively silenced by the overwhelming Democratic majorities a year ago; but now that popular expression seems to have changed, they have taken heart and propose to be heard in counsel. The proposition to put wool, lumber, iron ore, coal and salt on the free list will be opposed in some quarters and by strong men. It seems to be a growing desire on the part of these men for a cause of the party to determine on the best course to pursue before the bill is reported to Congress. Even so eminent a leader as Judge Culberson, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has requested a caucus, and even Blond of Missouri, is credited with a determination to fight the bill if it places the articles mentioned on the free list. The committee is making satisfactory progress. It expects to have the bill ready to report when Congress meets. O. R. Luedke has been appointed agent for Anaheim, Fullerton and vicinity for the Phantom Safety.

Leave your name and address at the Commercial Hotel and will call, or write us, Stanton & Van Alstine, 220 West First St., Los Angeles Calif. yesterday that Melendrez escaped a few days ago from Ensaenla cuartel with an army rifle and a bolt full of cartridges and made his way back to Juarez. He was accompanied by an American desperado whose name was not learned. The latter was also heavily armed, carrying a pistol and knife. Melendrez was perfectly at home, and found no difficulty in eluding pursuit. He and his companion headed for the American line, keeping low in the daytime and traveling by trails at night. They lived freely upon every prospector they ran across, and did not suffer for food. At a placer camp at Juarez the two desperados entered the cabin of a Mexican miner, finding the wife and daughter at home. Melendrez proposed an assault upon the defenseless women and his companion agreed. Though the mother and daughter struggled and made a terrible outcry the villains succeeded in their fliendish purpose. A number of Santa Catalina Indians working some hundred yards distant in the placers finally noticed the outcry and ran to the house. The American saw them approaching and ran for Melendrez's rifle, which he brought to bear upon the first Indian, then in the doorway, and aimed to kill, but the Indian was too quick, and knocked the rifle barrel upward, the bullet grazing his head. A terrible battle then followed. Melendrez sprang to aid his companion and the room became full of lighting men. Melendrez managed to get hold of the rifle, while the American and Indian were clinched, and using it as a club struck at the American fox, rolling him over the floor, but was himself knocked over. The gun struck the Indian hard enough to daze him. The Indian released his hold from the American, when the latter instantly reached for a knife, and before the other Indians could prevent it he rolled his half-stunned antagonist over, sat astride him and plunged the knife into his heart. Other Indians closed upon the desperoes and finally secured them after receiving several stalks from the American. Melendrez fought like a demon, and the combined efforts of five stalwart Santa Catalinas were necessary to hold him while another secured a lair and tied him. The American was roughly handled and was unconscious by the time Melendrez was secured. The women had run shrieking to the gulch, where the miners were at work, and the whole population returned to the house. When the story was learned preparations were made for immediate lynching. The Justice of the Peace ordered three big rurales to stand guard, however, with instructions to shoot the first intruded. No further violence resulted. A counter was dispatched to Real del Castillo to notify the authorities at Ensaenla, and asking assistance. A force of rurales arrived soon on orders from Ensaenla to take Melendrez and the American to the capital. They are now at Ensaenla. It is not known what punishment is in store for the desperoes, but deserters from the army, like Melendrez, are frequently court-martialled and shot. THE DEATH OF THE EARTH: M. Camilla Flammarion says that in all probability, notwithstanding all the circumstances which threaten it, our planet will die, not of an accident, but of a natural death. The death will be the consequence of the extinction of the sun, in 20,000,000 years or more—perhaps 30,000,000—since its condensation at a relatively moderate rate will give it on one hand 17,000,000 years of existence, while on the other hand, the inevitable fall of the meteors into the sun may double this number. Even if you suppose the duration of the sun to be prolonged to 40,000,000 years, it is still incontestable that the radiation from the sun cools it, and that the temperature of all the bodies tends to any equilibrium. Then the earth and all the other planets of yesterday that Melendrez escaped a few days age from Ensaenla cuartel with an army rifle and a bolt full of cartridges and made his way back to Juarez.

HUNTER AND GAME FROZEN. James Smithers, an English resident of Haliburton, Ont., while out hunting with a party of visitors from the old country recently, met with a singular adventure, which also led to as singular a discovery. A band of moose, the first seen this far south for many years, had been driven down by the scouts of the expedition, and it was while in full chase of these that the others swept on leaving Smithers to follow. Wishing to overtake them as quickly as possible he took a short cut across the country and was astonished all at once to find himself sinking. He fell about six feet, but owing to the descent of the loose earth with him sustained no injury. He was amazed to find the bottom of the pit composed of solid ice of a brackish taste, and evidently of untold age. Walking about the pit Smithers made out an object protruding from the icy foundation and, with his short hunting ax, out away the surrounding material until he saw stanoos which threaten it, our planet will die, not of an accident, but of a natural death. The death will be the consequence of the extinction of the sun, in 20,000,000 years or more—perhaps 30,000,000—since its condensation at a relatively moderate rate will give it on one hand 17,000,000 years of existence, while, on the other hand, the inevitable fall of the meteors into the sun may double this number. Eren if you suppose the duration of the sun to be prolonged to 40,000,000 years, it is still incontestable that the radiation from the sun cools it, and that the temperature of all the bodies tends to any equilibrium. Then the earth and all the other planets of our system will cease to be the abode of life. They will be erased from the great book and will revolve, black ceteries, around an extinguished sun. Will these planets continue to exist even then? Yes, probably in the case of Jupiter, and perhaps Saturn. No beyond a doubt for the small bodies such as the earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and the moon. Already the moon appears to have preceded us toward the final desert. Mars is much farther advanced than the earth to the same destiny. Venus, younger than us, will doubtless survive us. These little worlds lose their elements of vitality much faster than the sun loses its heat. From century to century, from year to year, from day to day, from hour to hour, the surface of the earth is transformed. On the one hand the continents are crumbling away and becoming covered by the sea, which insensibly and by low degrees tends to invade and submerge the entire globe. On the other band, the amount of water on the globe is diminishing. A careful and reasonable calculation shows that by the action of creature alone all the land on our planet will be covered by water in 10,000,000 years. AN APPEAL FOR SILVER. The Popular members of Congress have issued an address appealing to the people to take up the silver cause. It is significant that the name of Senator Jones of Nevada appears among the signatures of the document. The address calls attention to the fact that the arts require almost the total gold production, and says that the decrease in volume of this metal, due to hoarding, has caused it to appreciate from 40 to 50 percent. It continues: "The repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act destroys silver as the money of ultimate redemption, and has reduced the metal to a credit money to float only by redemption in gold. The $11,100,000,000 of paper and silver now in circulation must rest upon less than $100,-100,000 gold in the treasury available for redemption. The only reason for demonetizing silver was to enhance the value of gold and obligations payable in money. It is further proposed to sell bonds of the United States and buy gold to strengthen the reserves in the treasury." It is asserted that the Secretary of the Treasury surrendered the option to pay in stanoos which threaten it, our planet will die, not of an accident, but of a natural death. The death will be the consequence of the extinction of the sun, in 20,000,000 years or more—perhaps 30,000,000—since its condensation at a relatively moderate rate will give it on one hand 17,000,000 years of existence, while, on the other hand, the inevitable fall of the meteors into the sun may double this number.

Gazette. 16, 1893. NUMBER 2 LATE NEWS OF INTEREST. The Western Passenger Association lines have agreed on a rate of $65.50 from St. Paul and Missouri river points to California tourist points and return. Tickets will have a 15 day transit limit and a final return limit to April 30th. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company early last Wednesday morning laid double tracks on Alameda street in Los Angeles, commencing the work after midnight. The railroad had the right by a franchise to lay the tracks, but wanted to steer clear of injunctions by property-owners. The decision in the case of the city of Redlands against the Salvation Army found guilty of disturbing the peace in violation of an ordinance forbidding the beating of drums on the streets has been sustained by the Supreme Court and the army hereafter will be compelled to dispense with the usual street parade. The farmers of Eastern Washington, in districts where the wheat crop is damaged by rain, propose to import hogs from the Eastern States to fatten on the damaged wheat. The Northern Pacific and Great Northern have partly agreed to bring out hogs free of charge in order to help the farmers out of their present difficulty. Abdallah Hammond, the Algerian giant who performed in Midway plains, is seeking his pretty Italian wife, Josephine, whom he married in San Francisco and who deserted him for Leo Massote, and took with her Abdallah's little son, who was also a performer. Abdallah says he doesn't want her back, but does want revenge and his son. He secured the former by lambating Massote, whom he met on the street in Chicago and has gone to New York after the latter. Commissioner of Pensions Locher has filed an answer in the suit brought by Judge Charles D. Long of Michigan, because Locher declares his pension was suspended because it had been unlawfully increased. Locher declares it had been the practice of the department to suspend pensions since Secretary of War John C. Calhoun was in charge of pensions. He did so in 1879; that Secretary Chandler did so in 1875, and since that time the regulations have been in force in the department regulating this matter. Actor M. B. Curtis has arrived in Boston, and registered under the name of James Powers, Sorrento. He was very nervous and evidently in great need of rest. Speaking of his recent trial in San Francisco he said it had cost him $80,000. He had finally got he appeared suddenly and ran all of the pose out and said they could not interfere with him except at their peril. Governor Tillman said they could arrest Meetz under the dispensary law without a warrant, and ordered them to do so. "The first man that crosses my counter to arrest me without a warrant I'll shoot," said he. No one tried it. Neither would Meetz allow his contract to be revoked by the Secretary of the fair when the latter tried to do so at the Governor's request. Finally Meetz sold out all his beer and war was averted. The recent order of the San Bernardino Supervisors to the constables and Justices of the Peace requiring them to make no arrests of tramps except upon written complaint of reputable citizens, is being ignored and at a recent meeting bills of such officers were rejected subject to correction in accordance with the order. It is understood that the authority of the board to make such an order will be tested by the parties interested in the courts. John Machedo put $72 in gold and silver in his shoes and put the shoe under his bed for safe keeping, when he retired one night last week in a San Jose hotel. When he awoke the next morning he found that his roommate had arrived quietly during the night and silently made his departure, taking the money. Machedo became acquainted with him in San Francisco. They went to San Jose together, and now Machedo is looking for him for grand larceny. Three ship-wrecked mariners from the Spanish bark Murga arrived in Philadelphia last week. Their vessel was in hurricane October 9. Ten of the crew took to a boat, two remaining clinging to a mast, from which they were rescued by a passing steamer and taken to New Orleans. The boat carrying the other ten capsized and seven of the occupants were drowned. The other three managed to reach a small boat floating near by, and after suffering terribly three days without food or water, they were rescued and brought to Philadelphia. Commissioner Miller of the Internal Revenue Bureau is amending the Treasury Department regulations for registration of Chinamen in accordance with the recent act of Congress extending the time for registration six months. The Department has an unexpected balance of about $20,000, which can be utilized in putting new legislation into operation. This will be sufficient for a month or two. It is generally understood that Chinese, as a whole, will register, and that after six months all Chinese not able to produce a certificate will be summarily deported. Another important feature of the contract is the transfer of the immense electrical strain at the World's Columbian Exposition to California. This fountain, which is erected in the grand court of the mid-winter exposition grounds, is composed of statin fountains and has over 200 out-of-the-water feed it, under a pressure of 200 perimeter head. By the contract the electrical many is compelled to erect the fountain to take full charge and run it through the entire six months of the fair. The contract also provides that the commissary shall furnish 8,500 incandescent lamps divided into two systems—3,000 in a current for the exterior building illumination, and the balance, 5,500, with an amating current for use in concessions at distance from the power plant. The act includes eight dynamo for generators electricity for are lights, and 200 2-ampere power are lamps complete. In addition to this contract another has been added with the Standard Electric Company to supply the necessary machinery to maintain six months 400 more are lights of back-candle power each. Mrs. Robert L. Read of New York have agreed to disagree. They have had company on anything but amicable. Mrs. Read remaining in Paris, while husband has returned to New York and the intention of settling down in this land allowing the Atlantic to roll behind himself and his wife. Mrs. Read probably the subject of more gossip years ago than any woman who had lived in this hemisphere. That was before she met the man from whom she knew separated. It was on her account Edward Stokes killed James Fisk in the stairs of the Grand Central Hotel, then known as Josie Manafield. She wonderfully charming at the time she faced gallant Colonial Fisks. Her smart age, her gorgeous diamonds and her dressing desires, all gifts of the great opera-Prie stock, were the talk of the city-name was a household word. Bonnetts, less and peculiar fashion in hair dress were named after her. She quarreled Fiske and he became jealous of the attaches she received from Stokes. After thickings threats were made that all letters and telegrams Fiske sent her had be published. The great speculator an injunction preventing Stokes using these papers public and the shooting these followed soon afterward. The great Chicago Exposition is being fastened to its primitive state of chaos. Mary Hall has been closed to the public, much heavy machinery is to be moved that it was thought best to keep the possible visitors out of danger. The exportation Building will probably be in a few days for the same reason. Horticultural and Agricultural Buildings look if a cyclone had been turned inside. Fruit is being sold at low prices to the accompaniment of smiles from some blonde women and discordant of strong-lunged young men. In the cultural Building the floor are littered straw and half-shelled grain. Almost person who leaves the building carries a faithful wheat or oats or an ear of Many of the State exhibits are being down to be carried home and put up for ministration to local pride. In the cultural Building the danger from fire lastest on account of the great amount of straw scattered around. Discipline there to be lax. Even the Columbian guards long cigars in the building. Barcelona, Spain, one evening last dynamite bombs were thrown by an hustle into the midst of a crowded, magnificent building, the largest Commissioner of Pensions Lochren has filed an answer in the suit brought by Judge Charles D. Long of Michigan, because Lochren declares his pension was suspended because it had been unlawfully increased. Lochren declares it had been the practice of the department to suspend pensions since Secretary of War John C. Calhoun was in charge of pensions. He did so in 1819; that Secretary Chandler, did so in 1875, and since that time the regulations have been in force in the department regulating this matter. Actor M. B. Curtis has arrived in Boston, and registered under the name of James Powers, Sorrento. He was very nervous and evidently in great need of rest. Speaking of his recent trial in San Francisco he said he had cost him $80,000. He had finally got to Boston and intended to take a thorough rest. He said he had dodged all interviewers on the way East, and that the reported in interview with him in a Denver paper was absolutely false. It made some assertions which Mr. Curtis says were very false. No newspaper man had seen him at all as he passed through Denver. Charges of misconduct with a woman while attending the last General Assembly of the Presbyterian church at Portland, Orara pending before the Chicago Presbytery against Dr. W. W. Totheroth of Hyde Park church. Totheroth had denied charges, but the fact has come to light that detectives discovered him in company with Mrs. Harriet R. Hamilton enter a cheap hotel. Several members of his church were summoned, who stood guard, and at the expiration of five hours Totheroth and the woman emerged from the compartment. When confronted Totheroth made a full confession of his guilt, and admitted having rented a room in Chicago from March to July last with the woman under the name of Williams, and that he lived at hotels in Portland and Tacoma with her. He seemed to think it a good joke to have hoodwinked his parishioners. On reliable authority it is learned that the time of Secretary Catilde's recent visit to New York was principally occupied in talking over the present condition of the United States treasury. Nothing of consequence was said by him as to the future financial policy of the present administration, or what measures Cleveland would recommend that should be adopted by Congress to relieve the strain upon the treasury, but it is believed a plan was suggested, which, if carried out, will relieve the treasury of further trouble, at any rate until Congress can do something. The success of the plan will require the cooperation of the leading banks in New York. It is suggested that no orders be issued for the collage of any more silver dollars in order merely to obtain use of the seiguiorage. For the third time John McNulty was sentenced on Tuesday, by Judge Murphy, in San Francisco, to be hanged. McNulty murdered a man named Collins five years ago His case was appealed and the verdict continued. He was again sentenced, but before the time appointed for his execution the Legislature had passed a law requiring condemned felons to be executed at San Quentin. Another appeal was taken on ground that he could not be legally executed either in San Francisco or San Quentin. Then there was some sort of a bill taken before the United States Supreme Court in his case. But the upshot of whole affair was that his case was again called up before Judge Murphy on Tuesday, and sentence of death was once more pronounced. The 29th day of December was the day fixed for his execution. This case stands out conspicuously among the innumerable conspicuous cases in which the law has been trifled with to procrastinate the execution of justice. Secretary of State Gresham has received a dispatch from United States Minister Blair, who was on board the steamer Costa Rica at Amala when fired on by the Honduran authorities, because the captain of the vessel refused to surrender a refuge from Homer. Commissioner Miller of the Internal Revenue Bureau is amending the Treasury Department regulations for registration of Chioman in accordance with the recent act of Congress extending the time for registration six months. The Department has an unexpected balance of about $20,000 which can be utilized in putting new legislation into operation. This will be sufficient for a month or so. It is generally understood the Chinese, as a whole, will register, and that after six months all Chinese not able to produce a certificate will be annularily deported. The Patria wheel, which was one of the features at The Chicago Fair, proved to be a bonanza to its customers paid to ride around its circumference during four months of its operation. The receipts, at 50 cents each ride, amounted to $726,805 50. After paying off $300,000 of bonds the company divided $426,805 50 with the exposition, and after paying its operating expenses, had over $150,000 left, the principal part of which was divided among the stockholders. No action has been taken about the removal of the wheel. Offers of purchase have been made by syndicates from Coney Island, New York and London, and a request was made by Antwerp Exposition for its removal and operation there next summer. None ofthe bids were considered satisfactory and for presentthe wheel will remain in Chicago. Corpels F. Buckley, by his attorney Henry E. Highton, has written with The United States Circuit Court a sensational complaint against The Tulare Irrigation Company, The Lakeside Ditte Company and The Settler' Ditch Company involving property and rights said to be worth about $5,000,.000.The complainant alleges that during year 1885 The Tulare Irrigation District,the Tulare Irrigation Company,the Lake side Ditte Company,and The Settler' Ditch Company entered into a conspiracy to permanently destroy'the rights and privileges enjoyed bythe complaint.The complaint wantsThe United States Courtto decide who are entitled tothe privilegeof divestingandusingthewatersofSt.John'sriver,andpendingthat decisionan injunctionis desiredto preventtherespondentsfromconductinganactionintheStateCourtsrelativetothedisputedclaims.

Almost a person who leaves the building carries a fattle of wheat or oats or an ear of corn. Many of the State exhibits are being down to be carried home and put up for ministration to local pride. In cultural Building the danger from fire is greatest on account of the great amount of straw scattered around. Discipline there is to be lax. Even the Columbian guards are long cigars in the building. Barcelona, Spain, one evening last night, dynamite bombs were thrown by an officer into the midst of a crowded street, a magnificent building, the largest kind in Europe, filled with a distinguished audience, estimated to number 4,000. Opera William Tell was being given, but the performance was in progress two unite bombs were hurled from the top gallery into the midst of the stage, exploded with a detonation which shook building to the foundation and scattered destruction on every side. The bomb fell on the lap of a lady and thence harmlessly to the floor. A confusion and terror followed. The bomb rose to its feet in a panic, scarcely what had happened, while the ring rung with cries of pain, shrieks of exclamations of vengeance. The terror increased as the audience room with smoke and dust from falling debris, and broken glass falling on the staircase audience added to the numbness wounded. The dynamite flend was shot. Shooting tragedy occurred at South Day Friday night, when C. W. Simons, owner, captured two barrels of a shotgun in the abdomen of William Hanson, at orange, and then gave himself up to the witches. On returning home Simons had his wife drinking and carousing with him hand named Hanson. After some words between the two men, matters amicably settled, and the party, in King Mrs. Simons, repaired to a saloon by. After drinking freely for some Simons requested his wife to accompany him upon which Hanson said Mrs. Simons was going with him. The man indicated her intention of going with him upon which Simons would home returning with a shotgun, met the man on their way from the saloon. Simons Hanson on sight. Well-known steamship engineer of Neways there is no doubt that Flint & Co., city are preparing men and engineers for Brazilian service. He says: "Flint have been corresponding with a number of steammen and engineers of New York, giving them myself, trying to make arrangements to ship us." They want engineers and in their letters to me have stated will pay $100 a month and $300 ad-money. When we callist we have to up all allegiance to the United States wear allegiance to Brazil. When we go in Brazil we are supposed to have the man whether or not we will enter the government service." Secretary of State Greisham has received a dispatch from United States Minister Blair, who was on board the steamer Costa Rica at Amalpa when fired on by the Honduran authorities, because the captain of the vessel refused to surrender a refugee from Honduras on board as a passenger. The dispatch fully confirms the press reports of the tiring on the United States flag. The matter has been discussed at a Cabinet meeting, and it has been established that a political refugee who is a passenger, as Bonilla was cannot be taken from the ship which he is an. The chance presence of the United States Minister on the vessel in this case is not considered to make any difference in the diplomatic aspect of the case. Nothing can be learned as to the reply sent Minister Baker or what steps the Government proposes to take. The United States steamer Alliance sailed last week from San Jose to Acajutla, in San Salvador, but whether this movement was occured by the incident is not stated at the department. United States District Attorney Denis has filed a complaint in the Los Angeles Circuit Court against Corington G. Bellnap, ex Indian Agent of the Tule River Agency, for the recovery of $731 21, alleged to be due to Government. Henry Mentz, R. Porter Putman and John W. Miller, as bondmen for Belknap, are made parte to the action and the suit is entered against them individually for the whole amount. It is alleged that Belknap is short in his accounts as audited by the Pressure Department and that he unlawfully appropriated the above amount to his own use. He has been called upon for a settlement, but has refused to make good the deficiency. His bondmen have likewise been notified, but have accorded the Government no satisfaction and suit is brought to compel the payment of the amount claimed to be des him. At the State fair at Columbia, S.C., one day last week, W. B. Meatz was selling rice beer. Governor Tillman sent word that it must be stopped. Meetz refused. The Governor told Sheiff Catheart to stop it, and Catheart said he would make no arrests except under a trial justice warrant. The Governor, accompanied by some penitentiary guards, ordered the sales to cease Meetz telling him he would only recognize the authority of the State Constables when they were armed with a warrant; the captain of the local militia company was appealed to and he said he would not get his company together. Meaushile Meetz dispensed more beer. Then the Governor mustered a large posse and armed them, telling them to shoot if necessary, but carry out his orders. He marshaded at their head. Two of Meetz's clerks were arrested in Meatz's absence, but In the case of the United States vs Frank J., Wilson, Judge Morrow of the San Francisco District Court last week granted the motion of the defendant to quash the indictment charging him with sending obscene matter through the mails. The expressions complained of were written by Wilson at Lakeville to a friend in San Francisco. Judge Morrow surprised the United States Attorney and the postal inspectors by his interpretation of the statute governing such cases. He decided that a personal letter, securely sealed, containing obscenity is not indicable, even if it passes through the mails. He interprets the law to refer only to manifold, stylograph, or printed copies, or similar publications. Numerous courts have held that written letters containing obscenity are included in the meaning of the statute, and such cases have been punished by line and imprisonment. The case will be appealed to the higher court. The Aquidaban, the Brazilian rebel Metóis flagship, and Fort Villegagnon, at Rio Janeiro, which are occupied by forces who are co-operating with the rebel admiral, began a vigorous bombardment of the city of Rio Janeiro on Tuesday evening which at last accounts was still being continued. Considerable damage was done in various parts of the city. Fort Santa Cruz and Lage answered the fire of ships and Fort Villegagnon. The cannonading was very heavy and it is thought Mello, who has received word of Porvoto's purchase of vessels of war in New York, is making a determined effort to strike a decisive blow before they can be brought down to the president's aid. The province of Santa Catharina, the capital of which is Destero where the rebels have set up a provisional government, has been invaded by federal troops from the province of Rio Grande do Sul. General Argolos, with a body of insurgents, has gone to meet him, and a fight will probably take place between the two forces before long. A cutting serge occurred in the river bed of the Jajara river near Watsonville one day last week, which will, in all probability, result in the death of Elsie Twitchell. The cause of the cutting as near as can be accepted is as follows: Antonio Sibrian, who lived with Twitchell woman, and John Molazas went down to the river for the purpose of having a fight. When they were on the way to the river a young Indian named Benjamin Sequin, a desperate character, discovered them, and proceeded according to his own story, to follow them men up and see them fun. The Twitchell woman thinking there would be trouble asked a female companion to go with her to the river. After the men had arrived at their destination the trouble began between the two, and Soqui thought it was a good opportunity for him to take a hand so he rushed in and commenced to fight. Elsa seeing the fight started Sibrian's assistance. She was trying to separate them when Soqui drew a six-inch dagger and made a lunge at Sibrian; Sibrian dolled the thrust, and the knife struck the woman in the abdomen, penetrating her bowels in two different places and cutting some of the intestines. The chances are against recovery.
