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.

After the news of the assassination of
Mayor Harrison of Chicago it was

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.

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.
