The famous Davis will case is again up

The San Diego Union says: Several
Easts new to thiB part of the country
ave latley been discovered by Horti
cultural Commissioner Gunnis, among
which are the black aphis, the woolly
aphis, the Norfolk Island pine scale and
the Telranychusa maculatas, commonly
known as the six -spotted nute. Some
of the above have never before been
knownwest of the Bock Mountains.
John McLaughlin, foreman of the
Providence mine at Nevada City, Cal
beat Charles Knnge over the head with
a two-pound weight, and fractured his
skull. This enraged the miners, and
after McLaughlin was released by the
court on a bail of 15,000 he had to be es
corted by officials to his hotel, a crowd
following and shouting to " hang him."
If there had been a leader among these
men, it is believed McLaughlin would
have been strung up.
Twenty-seven canneries arc packing
salmon on theFraser river this year,
and 1,325 boats are at work. Sockeye
salmon, which is the only variety packed
there in large quatitiea, are running now
in immense numbers, the average take
by steady fishermen being 1,U00 for
twelve hours. The run has never been
better than at present, and the canner
ies cannot get away with the quantity of
fish supplied them, though some of them
are packing 1,500 cases daily. Recently
hull were so plentiful that 5 cents each
was the price asked by many fishermen ;
but, owing to the great supply, numbers
were unable to sell. If the run contin
ues ten days longer, as it doubtless will,
the pack will aggregate fully '450,000
cases, the largest ever put up on the
Fraser river, while some canners expect
the pack to run over 500,000 cases.
Every packing establishment has made
preparations to pack to their full capac
ity, and will Jill every can.
The following item is from a recent
issue ofthe World's Columbian Illus
trated, the official organ of the exposi
tion; "Oregon has adopted a unique
and practical method of displaying the
woods produced in that State. At Jack
son Park there is a house constructed
entirely of Oregon woods. It is ten feet
square and nineteen feet high, and is
surmounted by an open cuiwla. The
body of the structure ie a yellow pine.
The roof is of red-cedar shingles, and ie
supported by four Doric columns. The
columns are of maple, and are very rich
ly carved. The roof of the cupola is
supported by four small Doric columns
of carved oak. The interior is finished
with panel work containing about all the
woods of the State, among which are
nianznnita, madrone, yew, laurel, myr
tle, ash, maple, oak, spruce, balm, iir,
sugar pine, bird's-eye pine, cherry, curly
maple and alder. The house forms the
Oregon pavilion in the forestry building."
Here is another high compliment in a
recent editorial correspundence to the
8t. Joseph (Mo.) Herald: "Adjoining
the exhibits of Missouri in both the hor
ticultural and agricultural buildings are
the displays of Oregon, the Legislature
of which State appropriated a scant JGO,
000 in all for the purpose of properly
representing the State's resources and
industries at the World's Fair. The con
trast between the two displaysissogreat
as to put all Missonrians to shame. In
the Oregon booth in the horticultural
building over sixty varieties of apples
re shown fresh and beautiful on plates,
while there are countless jars and boxes
of peaches, plums, prunes, etc., so ar
ranged as to demand the attention of all
who pass. Visitors rush through the
dusty Missouri space to get into the Or
egon booth and admire the products of
the far Western State as arranged so
captivatingly. The same is true of the
agricultural exhibits. While the-Mis-eouri
pavilion is more favorably located
it does not command one visitor, while
dozens visit Oregon and inspect her
honest exhibits of grain and grasses and
the general product of the farm, Her
wheat is shown in two-bushel sacks, and
all who wish to examine it have only to
delve into the sacks and try a handful."
CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
The duilj- coat of operating the World'B
Columbian Exposition is $U!,000.
A straw hat, plaited entirely by Queen
Victoria, has been sent to Chicago for
exhibition.
Missouri will have eight bonis of thor
oughbred cattle of the different breeds
at the World's Fair.
French and English newspapers now
publish exhaustive correspondence from
the World's Fair ; some of it very amusing-
Arrangcment&have been made for ex
cursions of colored people from the South
to the World's Fair, and it is expected
that 250,000 will thus be added to the
attendance. ,
The Boston Journal opened up a cou
pon contest for ladies to go to the World's
Fair. Miss Lizzie Borden received the
highest vote, 100,000, but declined to ac
cept, and the next highest was awarded
the prize.
One of India's potentates, the Mahar
ajah of Kapurthala, has reached Chi
cago, accompanied by one of his wives
and hiB retinue. The Maharajah has
come to see the fair, and will stay until
he has "done" the exposition thor
oughly. At the present rate the total attend
ance at the World's Fair for the six
months it is open will bo 25,000,000. But
the estimate was for a total of 35,000,
000. The best months are yet to come,
and perhaps the higher figures will be
reached.
The picture, " lit Mv Studio." in the
German section of (he art exhibits at i
Chicago has been slashed with a knife.
The painting is by Kahler, who, it iB
thought, had the piatnre cut so as to at
tract attention. Artists think the in-
jury can be repaired with little trouble.
The bonds of the World's Fair offl-'
cials, found guilty recently by Judge
Stein of contempt of court in violating
the Clingraan injunction by closing the i
fair to the public Sunday, July 23, have
been filed, thereby suspending proceed
ings nendintt the action of the Annellate
Court. The case in which the parties .
are held to answer cannot take prece-1
denceon the Appellate Court calendar,
and at the earliest possible time will not
be called before the end of next Octo-,

Anthonv Comstock is in Chicaso. He
called on President Higinbotham, and

As he went out he dropped a catalogue

Chief Buchanan in charge of the stock
exhibit at the World's Fair has an
nounced the result of the cheese contest,
which has been in progress there several
weeks. The test was pronounced most
complete, meet carefully conducted and
me most tnorougn ever made. The con
test was between twenty-five cows of

FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
Further instructions in regard to the
acceptance of Chinese certificates have
been issued to the. Collector of the port
of New York. The order calls for the
detention of Chinese upon the vessels
bringing them to this country until the
Consular certificates are fully investi
gated and until the bearers are fully
identified ; in fact, until there is not the
slightest doubt as to their right to enter
tne united states.
That a desperate fight is to be made
to repeal the Geary Chinese exclnsion
act during the extra or regular session of
Congress is no longer doubted by those
interested in Washington. While Rep
resentative Geary claims to have learned
nothing definite as to the administra
tion's attitude toward the law, he ac
knowledges that it would not surprise
him if there were a mighty effort made
Dy tne enemies oi tue mil to either re

wouiu neimer amrm nor ueny tne report

levied another assessment on all Celes

There is a possibility, howover, that
these Mongolians may come up smiling
again with the money asked for. I don't
know what Kind ol a tight I may have

Geary has received a tip from some ad
ministration official that the administra

after the arrival of the new Chinese
Minister. ,
