One of the most notorious cases ever tried in San Francisco has just been terminated, for the present, by the decision of Judgo Coffey. That case had been on trial for about a year. It involved the disposal of property worth several millions, because the eat estate had been rapidly increas- iuer since Blvtbe's death. The cause I was not only a notable one from the amount ot money involved, but also from the number of claimants who n.erG represented in court. It was an inspired declaration that where the carcass is. there will the eaetes be rathered toeether. Blythc's larcre es- tate was the carcass, and the eagles q gathered from the four quarters 0f the world. Seldom in the history 0f judicial proceedings was there such an array Gf diverse claimants. Blythe died suddenly in this city without n will or without any that had discovered. He was living with ! n WOman who afterward claimed to be i ?p TT 1....1 n..n .HA!i!Hirt I his wife. He had one illegitimate child iu England whom he had never seen. But this child had written let- ters to him. and he had acknowledged Thc housekeeper estate, as his wife, tllO ieatiniOllV . t t .1 T"t tl. .. .... . .. mirouueeu, xjyiuu was .1 gis, Welchmau, im liUglishman, a man , who had been known under three or , rnllr names. He had a Questionable , reCord, and some portions of his life i rnmnin n mvsterv. His instincts and ! . r . ,,. . I tastes were such as led mm to avom society. It was the theory of some parties to the suit that he had a penal record which it was desirable to con ceal. He came to this city in the early days as an adventurer. Ho brought ' little capital with hum The greater j Ti!C vcneraule Lindsav Applegate, part of his large : fortune was made m who bus 1)C0U m dnrinff tlie past sev real estate m this city. He had the , oral monluS js ci aam nnd walking nerve and boldness for risky opera- .around. Hemavwell be called the tions. He Avas in debt at times to the volw0T 0r pioneers, who led the hosts extent ot many nunurea inoiLsana dollars. He oAyed large sums of money at the time of Jus decease, His estate was so large and his rP; ! erty so productive mat wnat lie owed j bore but a small relation to his sisscts It is probable that had Blythe lived ten years longer he would have been bankrupt He had bought a large estate in Mexico, and his plan was to return to Mexico as the lord of a vast estate. Blythe would figure in the new world as he could not in tho old. Ho would have large numbers of de pendents, and would in lime match his new possessions, for extent, against those of tho richest landlord in Great Britian. Blythe's vision of territorial magnificence, of hundreds of retainers, of a vast estato over which he would exercise sometliing akin to feudal au thority was extinguished by his death. The millionaire lay down one day in his room, gasped a few times and was goue. It then came out that with all his wealth he had few or no friends. No one knew the extent of his posses sions; he apparently confided, with absolute faith, in no one. He had concealed his own antecedents so long and had lived such an unusual life that few knew anything about his history. He made uo figure as a citi zen, and apparently cared for no one but Thomas H. Blythe, if we except the fact that by a Tew scratches of the pen he manifested some interest in a reputed daughter whom he had never seen. For an entire year one department of the superior court lfas been en gaged in unravelling the 'mystery of Blythe and liis great estate. Who was he? Who were his heirs, if he had any? Who, of all the great army of claimants, had any rights? Blythe could have settled every question about his great estate in twenty lines written aud signed with his own name. It was certain that a rough draft ot a will had been mado at his suggestion. When he died there was not a hint found in all tho papers recovered as to what disposition the owner intended should bo made or his estate. There were hints in his letters that he intended to make some ade quate provision for his reputed daughter. No cause tried in this city previous to tho Blythe case, ever occu pied a single court ot record for an entire year, and perhaps none wju ever contested with more ability than in this instance. It all the coats of the adverse claimants were to be taxed against tho estate they would make a pretty large hole in it. But early in the trial it was announced that such claims for the most part would not be allowed. Whether tho Blythe case ends with this decision or is to figure in some higher tribunal is not now a question of mnoh interest. Blythe is turning to dust, and the child born out of wedlock, whom he had never seen, takes theso millions. It was a strange caso from beginning to end and ono that has no parallel in this oity. Blythe coming hero in the early days an obsenro adventurer, with an indefinite record, with little money and no friends, finds that for tune waits on all his enterprises. He piled thousands upon thousands and theso finally became millions. He was nursing a romantic scheme for the future, one which was to eclipse in greatness and success all that he had ever accomplished. He had only to sit down and see liis own fortune roll up from year to year as it has since his death. Perhaps this is the final instance where, under similar circum stances, an adventurer could becomo a millionaire. As to Chlco Exc'uaion. Tho San Francisco Bulletin gives the following synopsis of the Chinese passenger list of the steamer Jiehjic which, lately arrived in that port and says that it is a notable fact that each steamer now always brings nearly 200 Chinese, and with the line of boats of the Canadian Pacific stopping at this port also, the Chinese population can be expected to increase instead of diminishing: Custom-house certificates, 18; mer chant's certificates, 42, consular certi ficates, 12; number without certifi cates, 107; in transit to Honolulu, 8; Havana, G; Panama, 7. Total 193. Of these, twenty-one are women. On the City of Sydney, which has just arrived from Panama, there are twelve Chines persons, including one woman and child, who were booked in-transit to Hong Kong. Don't Look!

The New York Journalist says that when "Babclais was in Chicago a few weeks ago he promised some of the lo cal newspaper workers to forward a specimen of Oregon salmon on his re turn home, in remembrance ot the many pleasant hours he had spent in the Press Club. So was true to his worJ, and a few days ago a twenty- eight pound fish, firmly imbedded in n block ot ice, was carted up the stairs to the club kitchen. On the following day it was cooked to tho 'queen's taste' by Chef Harry Neese, and with thirty of the boys sitting down to the tables, the visitor from the Northwest disappeared m qnick order. As spe c;ai gts there were present Messrs, Cooper & Farnham, of the Northern Pacific Express company, who had been good enough to bring the con signment from Portland free of charge, and F. E. Ewell, of the Ewell Print ing company of this city. After the luncheon had been washed down with copious draughts from the latest of tho club's importations from the French vineyards, thauks were voted to the donor, and it was conceded that a prime Yorkshire salmon, when (served as this had been, was a feast for the gods. Before tho Gathering broke nn. Colonel Coooer Tirnmiswl ho would secure the clnb a fiftv-pound it i i.t ii i salmon as soon as the fish season had opened.'
