CABINET APPOINTMENTS.
Attorney Oeneral Olney Surcrel G rea
rm m Th Sew Attorney General.
President Cleveland has appointed
Attorney General Oluey to the vacancy
caused by the death of Secretary of
State Gresham. The transfer of Mr.
Olney meets with the general approval
of the Democrats.
Judge Jndson Harinon of Cincinnati
Bucceeds Mr. Olney in the department
of justice. The selection of Judge Har
mon is something of a surprise. Until
selected by President Cleveland for the
cabinet position he was not known out
side of Ohio. He is spoken of as an able
lawyer.
The Colima SurTlrorx.
Sixteen survivors of the wrecked Co
lima have arrived at San Francisco.
The Pacific Mail steamer San Juan
bronght them to port. All the rescued
men had hard battles for life. Their
tales of the terrible night spent on pieces
of the wrecked ship are more graphic
than any stories every penned by the
most talented writers. When the Co
lima went down it became a desperate
struggle agaiust sea and storm and
wreckage, and only a few of the strong
est escaped. These were bruised and
beaten by the waves and wreckage nn
til they, too. nearly succumbed. The
survivors assert that the storm encovin-
tered by the Colima was terrible in its
severity. They also say the Colima
was overloaded and her cargo shifted.
"When she met the storm she seenied
able to breast it and up to five minutes
before she sank no apprehension was
felt. When the cargo shifted the Co
lima was swung by the storm until she
lay in the trough of the sea. Then the
mighty waves made short work of her
and she was literally beaten to pieces.
All the women were in the cabin when
the ship keeled over and it was impossi
ble to get them out in time to save
them, even could the lifeboats have
been launched. The corrected list shows
that ITS lives were lost in the disaster
and 88 all men were saved.

The new administration of the New

caused a revival of activity on the part
of the rank and file in making arreMa.
During last week 2,437 arrests were re

J A special from Steilacoom, Wash.,
I says The Lighthouse, the chief hotel of
f2.000. A defective line was the canse.
This was the first hotel built in Wash
ington territory, having been erected in
tVs '30's. It was the scene of many
notable territorial gatherings In-fore the
war, when there was a large military
post at Steilacoom and it was the chief
town on the Sound. Generals Sheri
dan, McClellan and Grant had stopped
at the hotel while on duty and part of
the original structure remained stand
ing until the fire.

posed. District Attoriiey Daley has re
ceived a letter from Barnes m which
was enclosed a letter from Chief ( Mass
jf Los Angeles, saying that Hiatt was
seen in Los Angeles two days liefore

police surveillance a week before his ar

and recommended his dismissal from
the navy. Lea will appeal to the ad
miralty, claiming that Johnson was un
fit physically to discharge the duties of
his position

chilly Last week thoy wcro running
short of material to work upon and
there was a chance for a big gap to ap
pear in their before unbroken program
when a happy thought showed itself
upon the inventive surface of their
fertilo brains. Over in Hamilton &
Palm's real estuto office U. M. Damon
has displayed several varieties of elec
tric cail bolls, which goods ho is sell
ing. Those bells wore brought into
uso in perpetrating their jokes. An
unsusocting gentleman passing on
tho street would bo invited in to look
at the workings of the bolls and by in
vitation ho would press on one of the
buttons and a call number would show
ilsolf in the glass front. This, tho
crowd, which was standing around,
would declare was "call for beer."
Hy prearrangonient Dave Crosby, one
of tho caterer for Hotel Medford,
would be standing on the corner by tho
hotel and at a given signal by someone
standing in Hamilton & Palm's ollico
he would at once proceed to draw a
bucket of beer and forthwith appear in
the aforesaid oHlee with his several
rounds of beverage, and with the re
mark "who rang for this beer?" The
victim always paid for the treat and
not until live rounds of treats had been
indulged in did the passer-bv come to
tho conclusion that the opposite side
of the street was a safer and more eco
nomical thoroughfare. The Mail is
not, ordinarily, given to biting at
another man's game, as Charlie Wel
ters will attest, but this one seemed
so easy that one of its publisher walk

that telegrams have been intercepted by
