The Indian convicted of burying a ciiiiti anve at tne rarker Indian agency, A. T.i was Hontenced to throe yearn and seven months in the Territorial prinon. , The Liberals at Ogdon, U. T., have disbanded as a party. Thev were com posed of gentiles or non-Mormons, and have long bitterly opposed the Lattor- uay rtainis. DioMaieom, who made a small fortune from the sale of the Gold bug mine and nitiandored it, attempted suicide at King man, A. 1., ny shooting niinscll through the body with a pivtol. San Diego's latest sensation is a well dressed. une-lookinK woman, who aoes aliont the street barefooted. Her name is Mrs. Mary Ailing A tier, a very Intelli gent woman and well versed in lan guages. Captain Donaldson of the steamer Ar ago on his last trip reports that the bar at Coos Bay is very much improved. This he attributes largely to the splen did improvement being made by the united Mates authorities. There are grave suspicions that the explosion on the collier San Mateo the other day, which ripped open her decks, was not caused by coal gas, as was first given in explanation. It is proposed at Victoria, B. C, to have an olllcial inves tigation. The charge of arson against Trotter, the owner of the dye works at Spokane, has lieen dismissed. This is the case where an explosion killed Mrs. Beano and the works were set on fire. It was stated that Trotter had fired the build ing in order to obtain the insurance. Charles Landegger, who has been writ ing i iaiiKy letters to Mayor Mason of Tort land and Oovernor IVnuover for Homo time, stating that Senator Mitchell ami other persons ought to be killed, wns arrested and sent to the asylum. After the news of the assassination of Mayor Harrison of Chicago it was thought beet to put Lundegger where he couldn't carry out his threats. C. J. Wetmore, Chief State Viticult urist of California, reports that the vint i;e of the present season will bo about 18,000,000 gallons, or about 3,000,000 gal lons in excess of hist year's vield, and will be of good quality generally. About 4,000 tons of graces will be used in the must factory at Ilealdsbnrg, the product of which is in groat demand abroad. During the next ten years, however, it is expected that the State vintage will show a decrease, owing to the ravngos of phylloxera in various sections and also to the recent check in the planting of vineyards caused by the low prices that have generally prevailed during the paBt few seasons, the growth of the industry in the past having been too rapid, so much so that the output in one year rose from 0,000,000 to 18,000,000 gallons. A sensational mining suit has been filed in the United States Court at Boise City, Idaho, by Arthur Neal of Seattle against Fred Page-Tustin and II. F. Parker of Seattle and several Boise peo- Ele interested in the Kldora Mining ompany, operating in the Neal district, about twenty miles from Boise. Neal sold two valuable mines to R. P. Plow man, a Boise capitalist, for $10,000, re ceiving half in cash and the balance in notes secured by mortgages. Neal al leges that Tustin and Parker got hold of him in Seattle and kept him under their influence for over two weeks by means of drugs. During that time he signed what he thinks is a power of attorney authorizing Tustin to forclose a mort-1 TT .-. U. i,. I...,,. mA n deed to everything he possessed. Tustin forclosed the mortgage in his own name and, it is claimed, never paid Neal a cent. The Eldora Company was formed, purchasing mines from Plowman, agree ing to give him (15,000 and one-half of the stock of the company. Neal asks for a receiver to take charge of the prop erty. Plowman claims that no money has been paid him by the company. The indications are that there will be lack of apace in all buildings at tlte San Francisco Midwinter Fair except the agricultural and horticultural. It is not known just how much space Chicago exhibitors in the various departments will want. Arrangements have been made with the Director-General and Viscount Corhely In Chicago. It is known, thongh, that the demand for space exceeds the amount the fair man agers have to give. The manufactures and mechanics buildings, large as they are, will be inadequate to hold all that has been offered, and it is already appar ent that the walls of the fine arts build ing will not hold the works of art nnd alleged art that will be offered. The agricultural and horticultural building is the only oni that gives promise now of accommodating all comers. This would be filled to the dome if it were not that so many of the counties have their own buildings. The managers have found it necessary to exact agreement from the various county commissioners to con tribute toward' the general horticu'tural and agricultural display. There is fear that the natural products of the State will be so distribute that the general effect wilt be lost. If possible, this will bo prevented. INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.

During the first nine months of the vear over 2,000 miles of railway were built, and it is expected that possibly by January 1 the mileage will reach 3,000. Types are not used in printing Persian newspapers, iho "copy" is given to an expert penman, who writes it out neatly. Then the work is lithographed. The world's hop crop this year Is esti mated to be 7,000,000 pounds less than last year, although the United States crop is 4,000,000 pounds greater than last season. The operatives in Japan mills work every day, there being no Sunday. The hours range from twelve to seventeen, bat the pace is slow and there are fre quent holidays. Mrs. R. E.

Judge Shaw, he thought, was the first Judge to use a rocking chair at his duties on the bench. According to foreign papers Prince Bismarck is allowing his beard to grow, not being able to handle his razor, and in the hope that it will help to prevent the pains in his face. Those who have, seen photographs of the ex-Chancellor taken with a beard in his younger days will regret his decision, as the addition is not an ornament lo his handsome nnd powerful face.

T., to try Captain Daniel F. Stiles (retired) for charges arising out of the disposition of government property In which be made uimseit oeneuciary. Brigadier-General D. W. Flagler, chief of ordinance, has made his annual report to Secretary Lamont. It shows the amount of expenditures during the fiscal year 1803 was (3,702,202. Among the first matters treated in the report is that relating to the inadequacy ot the gen eral appropriation for arming and equip ping uie omnia oi me united etatea. Secretary Herbert says that there is no truth whatever in the report that Brazil has been actively negotiating with the United States for the purchase of the new United States war ships Machias, Montgomery and Marblehead ; that the Navy Department is utterly without power to sell the vessels, for only congress could do that. Ho nego tiations to tnat enu are pending. The Chinese extension bill, as it goes to the President for his signature, re quires all Chinese laborers in the United States, entitled to remain before its passage, to secure their certificates of residence within six months of the time fixed by the Geary act. Chinamen fail ing to register within six months shall be deported under the former act, except that the requirement of a white witness is removed. All proceedings for viola tions ot the ueary act as originally en acted, except as to criminals, are sus pended. The word " laborers " in the act is construed to mean skilled and un skilled manual laborers, and the term "merchant" is defined to mean a per son engaged in buying and selling mer chandise at a fixed place of business, carried on under his name. It is pro vided that the certificate shall contain the photograph of the applicant, to gether with his name, his local residence and bis occupation. Senator Butler has introduced a bill which has for its object the establish ment of a government system of tele graph lines. The bill directs the organ ization of a board, to consist of the S c retary of State, the Secretary of War and the Postmaster-General, who are directed to arrange a system of trunk line telegraphy connecting the various sections of the country with the city of Washington, with connections along these lines at such cities as shall best serve the public good. The system is to be carried on as a part of the postal sys tem of the country, and discrimination in rates is prohibited, except that a less rate is allowed for press messages than for current business. The carrying on of the telegraph business by individuals or corporations is not prohibited. The bill is voluminous, and deals largely with the details of how the lines shall be constructed. An appropriation of (5,000,000 is made to begin the work. - The House Committee on Territories has been busy several weeks perfecting a bill for the admission of Utah. Though the administration has not wished to see the admission of the Territories pressed just now, the fact that the men who will come to the Senate and House from all the proposed new States would be silver men has caused the promoters of the Statehood movement to pause. In order to get around any such difficulty as this Delegate Joseph of New Mexico has pro posed to have the bill admitting bis Ter ritory changed so that admission will not become operative nntil 1895. For Utah, Arizona and New Mexico it is pro posed to grant them double the amount of land granted the last Territories to be admitted. The reason for this is there were grants made for the purposeof es tablishing a fund for various institutions, and it is claimed the lands which the three Territories now knocking at the door will receive are mostly, if not en tirely, arid and fit for nothing nntil they have been made valuable by a costly system of irrigation, The last six States admitted received as grants for various State institutions about 100,000 acres of land each. The three Territories asking for admission think they will need at least 1,000,000 acres. In a communication to Congress the Secretary of the Treasury asks for an appropriation of (15,000 for freight on bullion and coin between mints and as Bay offices for the current fiscal year. He says that, owing to the necessity of transporting a large amount of gold bull ion from the assay office at New York to Philadelphia for coinage and of gold and silver bullion from the mint at Carson City to the mint at San Francisco for coinage, as well as the increased deposits of gold bullion at the minor assay offices, it will be necessary to obtain an appro priation to supply a deficiency in the ap propriation for this purpose. This defi ciency grows out of the fact that for sev eral years past there has been no trans fer of bullion from New York to Phila delphia, and consequently no appropria tion therefor, and from the further fact that by reason of the suspension of coin age operations at Carson City it will be necessary to transport both the gold and silver bullion from that institution to San Francisco for coinage. The expense of transporting this bullion is less, how ever, than it would be to coin it at Car son City. At Carson Citv there is (900, 000 of gold bullion and (600,000 silver. The amount of gold bullion in New York that is to be carried to Philadelphia ag gregates (20,000,000. Representative Hermann has been in consultation with the Postoffice Depart ment as to numerous applications from his State for contracts to carry the United States mails for the next four years and for the addition of many routes not included in the published proposals. In the course of the inter view Mr. Hermann represented to the department how in his State many con tractors have heretofore bid so low for the mail service as to be rendered unable to comply with the law, and as a result the people have received wretched mail convenience. He stated to the depart ment officials that should such low bids again be accepted he proposes to see that the contract shall be complied with both as to the manner as well as the time con tracted for. , He Bays the people also complain that contractors sublet at such low rates as to compel persons to use ill fed, overworked and unsuitable horses and also cheap and exposed conveyances and are unable to deliver the mails on schedule time or in protected condition. He believes that the law should be fear lessly enforced in all cases of fine or otherwise, and that postmasters should be directed to report every violation or failure of schedule, and they should be investigated in any case where they, should fail to make report. He thinks, if the law were more generally enforced, reckless and unprofitable bidding ior mail contracts would ceaM. FOREIGN CABLES. Newspaper Life Very Exciting in the Czar's Empire.
