J ma is mo nrst case Drougut un der the State inheritance tax law passed last March. ' . Arthur Dudley Vinton, attorney for the Proscott and Arizona Central rail road, Iiab filed a petition for the appoint ment of a receiver for the Atlantic and Pacific: railroad. ' The netltion is very voluminous, and consists mostly of a recital of the numerons suits which he has instituted airainst the Atlantic and Pacillo' Company on behalf of the road he represents, wblcu nun business inree months ago. The petrUunorJncorporotud his disatmroval of the appointment of Keinhart and MoCook as receivers ol the Atchison Company. Bevoud the filing no action was taken on tne petition. The n"t earnings of the Oregon Rail way and Navigation according to the re ports of the Union Pacific have for sev eral years shown a deficiency after pay ing the 6 per cent stipulated in the lease on the Oregon Railway and Navigation stock, aud it is notUioughUho deficiency can be overcome hy the receivers of the Union Pacillo. .The, bondholders want their interest, as is evidenced by the pe tition of the Farmers' Loan and Trust. Company, the holder of a mortgage; on all tne property aecttrlng the lionds. The question seems susceptible of three resolutions, either the tookholder will have to wait for their returns or the court will have to order the deficiency made up out of the other funds of the Union Pacific or elso set asido the lease. Should the lease be set aside, it is said the Oregon Railway and Navigation would go into the hands of a receiver. Railroad men say this would result iu a revision of rates. t ' The Ran Francisco Bridge Company has ninde an assignment for the benefit of creditors. The failure was precipi tated by the loss of . the big raft of piers which the company tried to bring down from Coo Bay. It broke up off the const of Humboldt county, and became a total loss. It is believed, however, that the company has BHsets lulHclentto satisfy all creditors and resume business, and that the assignment is really to gain time. The alignment was made to Sheriff McDado under the new law. He has nhtced a keeper in charge of the company's office. He has nothing to do, however, but safely keep the property until an assignee can be' elected by the creditors. An election must take place within ten days, by which time the com pany "t iv.'ts to fee its way clear to re sume I ' ness. The schedule of liabili ties tiled in the record offlcs allows that the company owes 1172,822,28, nearly all of which is due to local banks and busi ness housei. NATIONAL CAPITAL.

In consideration of these facts the Tress urv Department has instructed the Col. lector to continue in control of the goods referred to until further instructions are given him. . It is said this condition is the result of bad faith on the part of the railroad companies, who nromised to re turn the goods to the seafioard free if the railroad charges were paid one way. Now that the fair is over they are indifferent to tlie matter, and are using their own convenience aau giving other Ireigl preference. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire is aliout to come forward with a scheme looking to the remonetization of silver, 1 he Senator proposes very radical molh txlsof bringing this about. He com tern. plates the introduction in the Senate after the reconvening 01 uongress 01 resolution, which he will advocate, ask. ing the United States to invite all the countries ol tlio world I'.aNtern, West em and Southern to attend a monetary conference..: A new feature of the pro posed conference is that it shall not be restricted to European gold-standard countries, but shall include the South American aiv' Oriental silver-standard countries,- Moreover, the invitations to the conference are to contain a deelara tion of the United States that the pur nose of the conference shall lie establish. nient and maintenance of an interna tional ratio, with a specific declaration added that if such ratio cannot be agn e l upon it will be the purpoieof tho United States to adopt a sinizle standard, and that standard m gold, but silver. By taking this extreiJfy'poHition, not as yet advocated in Congress, Chandler thinks the hands of the gold-standard countries not now trading extensively with the Western v otid can tie forced. A stihiect which will receive some con slderation at the hands of the Committee on Appropriations of -the House at this session Ol congress in eiiiuouieoi in a mil introduced by bayres, its Chairman, en titled "a bill" to repeal certain laws re lating to permanent and indefinite appro priations." Bills having this object in view have appeared perennially during the oast ten years, but for various rea- sons nave taiieu 01 entu iineiit. tne 00- . .1 . . . J. L iect of recalling these permanent appro Driations and having Congress pass upon matters covered" by them each -year is that it will conduce to a more thorough and careful examination of the items of appropriation than are obtainable under tne present system ny which accounts are audited anil passed upon by account ing officers, and where no opportunity is left for scrutiny by the Congressional committee. At the same time objection is made against the changes proposed by the bill because- of -the-injustice that would result to claimants entitled to the amounts paid them under the present SVHteiu wiiuout reeourse 10 Bpmuuo vou- gressional legislation. The bill now he- lore the committee excludes from ita provisions the various laws therein spec ified, 'including the sinking fund and other appropriations under which amounts to many million dollars, rough ly estimated at about one-third of the total permanent appropriations. .'- Tho total annual permanent appropriations lor tne lineal year mn were n;i.444 twu, and it is estimated lor lmio at loi,u(4 1380. The committee has referred tl: bill to Secretary Carlisle for his views on the changes proposed, and accounting ollicers of tne department will be asked to submit their opinions before any rec ommendation is made in tlin matter by tlie Secretary. ; The air of mvstery assumed by the Senate Committee on foreign Kelations in its Hawaiian investigation gives the imprcsriion that Morgan's resolution, under which the inquiry is held, is merely a cloak for a much more impor tant inquiry than, any as to the alleged Irregularity of our diplomatic relations With those islands. There is reason for behaving; that . while presumably the present quest is for information tearing unon the conduct of- Stevens and Blount tliere will be an eiiort at tne same tune to obtain any Information which will in tlie ilrst place prove the capability of the island's lor Htilf-eoverimient, and in the second the desirability or otherwise of annexing these islands at some time in tlie luture. Jt IS understood perteetly bv members of the committee whomiuht have these in view that there is no hone of annexing the islands under the pres- eirt administration, nut those who favor this disposition of the little kingdom do not intend to be swerved from their nur- poho by the fact that one administration is opposed to tins course, senator Mor gan, Chairman of the committee, has been scrupulously careful about express ing opinions upon the Hawaiian ques tion. or manifesting a disposition to do or say anything which would appear extra-judicial, but he is known to be a lli iii believer in the wisdom of attaching the islands to this country as a part of It, lust as Alaska is at present attached, and the fact that he has very recently introduced a bill in the Senate providing a f irm of" government for any acquired territory lends- plausibility to the sup position that he is looking forward to possibilities' far beyond anvthing in cluded in the resolution under which' the committee is authorized to conduct the present hearing. As a plausible ex planation of the oricin of the bilh and without some wd like the acquisition of Hawaii, it is difficult to find any reason tor its existence. Those who know Mor gan best say he is not the man to attempt to secure letriMiauun iimi wouiu 111 a sup position. -It would appear that when the committee reports it will, so far as Morgan can direct the character of the report, smooth over the events with which thev are conoernod. Meantime Minister Thurston, now in Hawaii, will have been heard from as to the capacity of the present government for tempor arily managing toe aiiuirs 01 tne islands, and the information, with the corrobor ating testimony which the committee will be able to get together in the mean time, may have an important bearing upon the future of the comn.ittee's investigations. .EWS.

EASTERN THE MIDWINTER FAIR. Vi L1FOBWA - MlDWJNTEB IffTZBlf A- ) tion a l Exposition. Department fc 1 of Publicity and Promotion. ) !" Weekly Circular Letter-No. T.J j The work of preparation for the Ex position lias now reached a point -where the aesthetic ideas of Jile management are beginning to bearJfrmt. All the main buildings are practically finished, so far as the details of construction are concerned, and now comes the matter of decoration, Charles Graham, the well-known artist better known, per- t.tpfl, in the East than in California on ccdunfTrf his extensive experience with fiw Harpers, and more 'recently with Die lItniiRsrNC'iositlon-'has been ap pointed as director of color for the Mid. winter Exposition, arid to hiin falls the duty of superintending1 the decoration of the Exposition buildings. There has been made 110 effort in this connection to pattern after the Columbian Exposi. tiom The term "White City" will never be- appropriately applied to this Exposition, v Air. Oruham's idea has been to let delicate tints predominate, and to so' distribute and arrange these that the peculiar atmospheric effects of the California climate shall be utilized to enhance their harmony and Increase their beauty. Warm tones are not par. ticularly necessary in the decoration of any group of buildings in this glorious clirnite of California, and the darkness of background afforded by the almost black foliage is a magnificent setting for the delicate tints which are to pre vail,, ? Some' excellent effects have already been partially produced on the main buildings, although none of them are yet to be seen in the fullness of perfec tion. There will be a great deal of gold in the scheme of color, although not , .enough of it to give the architectural group the name of the "Golden City, The doiaes.of, the Administration build- lug will be heavily irilded, and the west ern ana, striking full upon, .them, will undoubtedly play a very important part in the pieturesqneness ot .the pano rama. Mr. Graham says that several of the buildings of this Exposition sar- u najaa in Tttrfftir.n e.t .lnlnll arwl nn.liit- ., A0innmot. imii(nna r th Columbian Exposition, and that in the line of opportunity offered for pictur esque and landscape effects, the like has never been teen in any exposition. The ornamentation of the grand central court is also receiving a great deal of attention just now. The elec trical fountain is Veing installed in one end, the basin for the allegorical fount ain is in place at the other, and the sculpture will soon be ready to be put in position. The electric tower has reached a third of its height, and two more .weeks . will see it completed. Eight or ten inches of ncGTloairi Tias been spread over the entire surface of the grand plaza, and on it will be sown the seed of the flowers and foliage -which are to make this, the mts: beau tiful spot in all the beautiful Golden Gate Park. There, has already been transplanted to this grand parallelo gram a large number of bamboo plants and date palms that have been artisti cally distributed, and have made a favorable impression on the public, which warrants' the assertion that the picture to be presented within the lines of the conrt, around which the main buildings are situated, will be one of surpassing loveliness. The Venetian masts, several . hundred in number, which are to stand like a line of sol diery around this court, are already in position. These are to bear the nags ol all nations by day, and electric arc lights at night; and between them the sun will shine upon long lines of parti-colored streamers, while the darkness of each succeeding night will be relieved by long lines of incandescent lights and fancy lanterns in the development -ot the caruival effects' which have been contemplated in this connection. 1 The work on the. concessional build ings is Tiroceeding satisfactorily. The exposition will be" nearer ready on open ing d?ry than has been the case of any large exposition in the history of the world. . The management or the iispo- sition are to le partieularly congratu lated on the-fact that in the erectiottbf the 2Q,odjl-structures within tho Expo sition grounds, on which there has been an aggregate expenditure of -nearly $1,000,000, there has, thus far, occurred no labor tvduble, no -accidents, and not even an alarin of firi. . .. The programme for opening day has not yet been completed, but the ceremonies-will be' of a character to war rant the unbottling of all the enthusi asm which San Fraricisco and tle ad joining cities and towns have been get ing up for this occasion. It took the business men of San Francisco a long while to wake up to the importance of this Exposition, but there is no longer Any room for criticism on this score; and it is sate to say that when opening day shall arrive the city:will be more gaily decorated and its inhabitants will turn oub more universally than on any other occasion that has marked the his tory of California. A feature of the Exposition which has now been fully developed is that which is to include the display of citrus fruit from different parts of the state. ' There are in the state two citrus fair associa tions that of Southern California and that of the Northern citrus counties.

In addition to these citrus displays Fresno county has, completed arrange ments to orect a model of her court house to be constructed of oranges and raisins, so that Eastern visitors will see more wonderful displays of the golden fruit than has ever been made else where.
