Richard Gird of Chino shipped over a ton of sugar-beet seed the other day to ' the Alvarado Sugar Company. This is the first shipment of beet seed from Soui hern California. There is fear that the flow of gas at Ogden when the boring passes through the quicksand will be so strong that it -""r - ; wi)i oe beyond control of the present fa cilities provided to keep it in check. Irrigation through the immense ditch of the Moelurnne Canal and Irrigation Company in the northern part of San Joaquin county, Oal., has commenced, ' and there is great rejoicing among the people of that section. Captain 0. H. R. Fitzgerald, an Eng lishman who has had the handling of . large sums of money in connection with the 8anta Cruz Storage Water Company at Tucson , has been arrested and charged with embezzlement. The San Francisco coast defenses are to be strengthened by the addition of twelve of the latest pattern reinforced fifteen-inch gun carriages. Orders have been given to have these carriages .' shipped immediately to the Pacific Coast. The reports from the interior of Cali fornia on the grain and fruit prospects are very good. The rains and frosts have done but little damage, the great est loss being to grapes, and principally in Napa Valley, but the injury is far from severe. "Wheat is looking well, and the outlook is excellent. Rains in the south recently have improved the conditions in that section. The Cocopahs and Yumas had a big pow-wow recently west of the town of Yuma. The two tribes were drawn up on opposite sides of the irrigation ditch, and talked for some time. It is sup posed the Yumas were trying to induce ' the Cocopans to return to their own country, as they interfere with the labor market in that vicinity. The Yumas think that all the work there rightfully belongs to them. A dispatch just received at Eugene, Or., by J. F. Robinson, Grand Recorder of the Knights Templar of Oregon, states that a man was recently committed to the insane asylum at Stockton, Oal., by the name of B. R. Luckey. The friends of E. R. Luckey, who mysteriously dis appeared from Eugene, think it probable that he is the man. E. R. Luckey was a Sir Knight, and it is probable that the clew is a good one and will clear away the mystery that surrounds the disap pearance. The matter will be looked into at once. Major W. H. Williams, special United States Treasury agent, who has been on this Coast for several months on a tour of investigation into matters connected ' . with the Behring Sea sealing question, will leave for the seal islands in Alaska on the steamer Bertha. Major Williams will proceed direct to Ounalaska and ' . from there visit all the points where in- : formation can be secured. His inquiries are for the purpose of substantiating the . claim of the United StateB that the ex termination of seals is unavoidable if pelagic sealing is allowed to continue. THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION. Ceylon Will Have at the Exposition . Several Tea Kiosks Formed of Native Timber. - E. S. Denison of Alameda county, Cal., intends to send to the exposition a pumpkin weighing 326 pounds. Miss Alice Rideout of Ban Francisco has been awarded the contract for sculp tural work on the woman's building. She will receive $8,200. The number of men working on the exposition buildings is now more than (J.OOO. On some of the buildings work is proceeding day and night. A complete collection of Ohio birds, including every variety known to live within the boundaries of the State, will be an exhibit at the exposition. In the Michigan exhibit will be a rep resentation in wax of 600 specimens of fruit which grow in the State. It will be prepared by a Kalamazoo woman. The World's Fair Board of Santa Clara county, CaK, has petitioned the Super visors for an appropriation of $300 to defray the expenses of making an ex hibit from the LicK Ubservatory. , Mrs. Amv M. Beach of Boston will prepare an original musical composition to oe rendered at the dedication of the woman's building. Theodore Thomas will conduct the presentation, and Prof. Tomlins will organize the chorus of 400 voiceB. The women of Missouri intend to fur nish the State building with carpets, nigs, etc., made of Missouri grown wool. Missouri schools of design will furnish the designs, and the women will bear the expense. ' President Nunez of Colombia, it is an nounced, has declared his intention of be being present the ceremonies dedicatory of the exposition buildings next October. Sir Julian Pauncefote, British Minister at Washington, will be present to repre sent Great Britain. The Committees on Mines and Mining of both the National Committee and the Directory will make a tour in May of the principal mining States with a view of stimulating interest in the mining de partment, lhe members win aerray their own expenses. Tree trunks for the colonades of the forestry building have been received from Wisconsin. Montana. West Vir ginia, California, Indiana, Ohio, Dela ware, JNew Mexico, jNortn uaronna ana Connecticut. Thirty of the States will make contributions of this character. The Legislature of Texas has taken action looking toward holding an -"auxiliary world's fair" at Ualveston the coming fall and inviting Central and South American countries to participate. The enterprise is intended to be prepar atory to the State's participation in the exposition at Chicago. Cevlon will have at the exposition sev eral tea kiosks formed of native timber, including specimens of its exquisitely beautiful cabinet woods ebony, satin- wood, calamander, tamarind, nadun, suriyamara, etc. Descriptions appearing in Ceylon papers indicate that these ki osks will be of most elaborate design and finish, and that the tea industry will scare neither pains nor expense in drawing the attention of visitors to the merits of the fine-flavored beverage. The Salt Manufacturers' Association of Michigan has agreed to make the Bait exhibit for the State, and will get up a display which doubtless will attract a great deal of attention. A Bay City man has made a life study of salt-manufacturing, and has learned the methods practiced in all ages for making salt. It is the intention to have him make mod els of all salt-manufacturing apparatus used from the earliest days down to the present time from the most primitive to the modern salt blocks and in con nection with the models show all the processes . now practiced in producing salt. PURELY PERSONAL. Anthony Trollope is Said to Have Been as Careless in His Speech as in His Dress. Tennyson has not a gray hair on his head. He has never known what it was to have an editor reject his "stuff" or tell him he was not buying rot. Captain James S. Pettit is to take Tot ten's place at Yale, and Totten is to re join his battery, where his prophecies will not be confounded with scientific instruction. Ex-Senator Evarts says that, though he is going with his family to Europe, where he will consult an oculist, bis sight is not nearly as much impaired, as has been reported. Emperor William has donated 3,000 marks to the encouragement of outdoor games in Germany. At the same. time he expressed his keen interest in such healthful recreation. J. R. Clifford of Martinsburg, W. Va., is the first colored lawyer to be admitted to the bar in Alleghany county, Md. He is now engaged as counsel in a murder trial at Cumberland. Senator Brice had the President and 400 other guests the other night at a musicale that is said to have cost him $12, 090. This used up all of his Senatorial salary for about two and a half years. Anthony Trollope was as careless in speech as he was in dress, and could swear like a costermonger and copy his manners. But he could write, and knew this was what many of his critics could not do. - , Bjornson, the Norwegian poet and pol itician, has renounced a pension which he received from his government. He declined to accept the gift any longer unless Kjolland, a brother poet, became the object of a lika honor. BEYOND THE UUtfto A Post Graduate School of Medicine Draws the Color Line. ST.

A company has been formed to con struct a tunnel on the Canadian eide of Niagara Falls for a similar' use of the water power to that proposed by the tunnel builders on the American side. It seems that the land:hungry crowds that have suddenly inundated Oklahoma do not want farms to cultivate, but town lots with which to speculate. At least a hundred towns are set up within their borders. . The Post Graduate School of Medicine at New York has drawn the color line in the case of Dr. William T. Merchant of Eagle, a West Virginia mining town, who is a colored mart. He was refused admittance into the school. CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS.

The Senate Commerce Committer unanimously decided to report favorably the bill granting American register to certain foreign-built ships on the Inman line on tonnage of not less than 8,000 and a speed of not less than twenty knots, which passed the House recently. The House" Committee on Appropria tions took final action on the fortifica tion appropriation bill the other day. The bill as reported carries an appropri ation of $2,412,376, being $697,431 less than the estimates and $1,362,427 less than the appropriation for the carrent fiscal year. t An amendment to the sundry civil ap propriation bill has been reported from the Senate Committee on Military Af fairs, authorizing the Secretary of War to establish not to exceed two military posts at points on the Northern frontier, where he may in his judgment deem it for the public good. The Senate Committee on Public Lands has reported a substitute bill to indemnify the settlers on the Iowa-river lands. The substitute provides for an estimate by a court to be appointed by the State, and the sum to be appropri ated aB the share of the United States must not exceed $5,000.

Senator Dolph has introduced a pro--posed amendment to the sundry civil bill appropriating $500,000 for the post office building at Portland and increas ing the limit of cost to $1,500,000. There is some question as to whether the limit of cost can be increased in the sundry civil bill, but Senator Dolph is willing to make the attempt. ' 7 Senator McPherson has reported an amendment from the Naval Committee to the naval appropriation bill, propos ing to increase the number of harbor defense vessels from one to three, tor pedo boats from six to ten, and also pro viding for torpedoes, submarine and otherwise, for which latter purpose $1, 000,000 is to be appropriated. There is more or less objection from certain points in Oregon on thp proposi tion of the Treasury Department in the bill pending before CongreBS, providing for the consolidation of the collection districts in Oregon, which would merge into the Portland district the Astoria, Yaquina and Coos Bay districts, and would make subports of entry at these places. The Treasury Department is urging that this be done as a matter of expediency in the public business, but the towns which are the headquarters of these districts are protesting very vigor ously. The proposition made by the House Postoffice Committee in the postal ap propriation bill to reduce the compensa tion of land-grant or subsidized railroads for carrying mails from 80 per cent, of the rate allowed non-aided railroads, as the law at present provides, to 50 per cent, has awakened vigorous opposition from the land-grant railroads. They are protesting against the proposed legisla tion as unjust and unreasonable. Rep leBentatives of a number of these rail roads appeared recently before the com mittee, and stated their reasons for the opposition. . y Before the Committee on Private Land Claims Representative Otis of Kansas produced a preamble and resolutions re citing certain alleged wrongful acts on the part of Secretary Noble and Com missioner of the General Land Office Carter, which acts, it is alleged, were in the interest of the conspiracy in 1877 of S. B. Elkins, then a Delegate to Congress from New Mexico, United States Attor ney Cattron of New Mexico and ex-Commissioner of the General Land Office Williams, which resulted in depriving the homestead and pre-emption settlers of Colorado and New Mexico of their vested rights. The resolution calls for an investigation. The Secretary of the Navy has- issued instructions to the naval and revenue marine vessels assigned to enforce the modus vivendi, prohibiting sealing in Behring Sea. These instructions differ from last year's in three important par ticulars : 1. Any vessel found sealing in Behring Sea is to be seized, whether she has been previously served with a notice or not. 2. The mere presence of a vessel in Behring Sea, having on board a sealing outfit, is cause for seizure. 3. Persons on board the vessels seized will be sent as prisoners with the vessel to suffer the penalty of the law. Under the British law all persons killing or aiding or abetting in the killing of fur seals in the Behring Sea. are punishable by a fine of $500 and imprisonment at hard labor for six monthB. Under the American law they are subject to six months' imprisonment and a fine of $100. ' X X Big FOREIGN CABLEGRAMS The Amount of Money Spent by Americans in. Italy. EAST INDIANS GAIN MORE RIGHTS.

SKOBELEfPSv revenge. A Story About How the Rnsslan General Returned the zar' Inault. During the Russo-Turkish war, the day after the passage of the Danube had been made good, the emperor of Russia crossed the river to congratulate and thank bis gallant soldiers. In front of the long, massive line formed on the slope below Sistova, awaiting the com ing of the great white czar, stood Drago miroff, Yolchine and Skobeleff the three generals who had been the lead ers of the successful attempt. Dragomiroff, the divisional com mander, the emperor embraced and gave him the cross of St. George; he shook hands warmly with Yolchine, the brigade commander, and gave him, too, a St. George to add to the decorations which this cheery little warrior had been gathering from boyhood in the Caucasus and Central Asia. Then the emperor Btrode to where Skobeleff stood, and men watched the little scene with interest, for it was notorious that Skobeleff was in disfavor with bis sov ereign, and yet of hhu the camps were ringing with the story of his conduct of the previous morning. Would Alexander maintain his um brage, or would he make it manifest that it had been displaced by Skobe IefFs heroism? For at least a minute the czar hesitated as the two tall, proud, soldierly men confronted each other. You could trace in his countenance the struggle between disapproval and ap- It waspon over, and the wrong way for Skobeleff. The emperor frowned, turned short on his heel and strode ab ruptly away with-it a'word or a ges ture of greeting or recognition. A man of strong prejudices-he was not yet able to exercise from hiSinind the cal umnies that had blackeneJkto him the character of SkobelelT. X That officer, for his part, flushed scarlet, then grew deadly paleXnd seeded to conquer an impulse as he his tetsth hard and maintained his dis- ciplinedV immobility. It was a flagrant insult, in eJie very face of the army, and a gross njustice, but Skobeleff en dured it in a froud silence that seemed to me very granvd, nor did I ever hear him allude to theNslur. The time soon oWie to that gallant and brilliant soldier hen he could af ford to be magnanimouV As the cam paign progressed he distinguished him self again and again, so that his name became a synonym in the army for splendid daring as well as forppor- tune skill. - Cln Sinn Q fi!lrrl-ioloflp oftaf ovnlfiifQ the Turkish position in Loftcha. and drove his adversaries out of that strong place. On the following night, at his own dinner table, in the Gorni Studen headquarters, the emperor stood up and bade his guests to honor with him the toast of "Skobeleff, the hero of Loftcbal" It is not given to many men to earn a revenfl-e so full fl.nd art &ra.ncl as that. Archibald Forbes in Nine teenth Century. People Who Commit Suicide. A recent suicide was being discussed. "Yes," said one gentleman, "there you see it was a German again. The Ger mans commit more suicides than any other people on the face of the earth." Thnt. is fl. "mistftkft " Rfl.iH annflipr "and it reminds me of the old charge by a French oaoer that England show ed a higher rate of death by self de struction than any other nation. Such a charge is altogether unfounded just as unfounded as . that with regard to Germany. "As a matter of fact, by-statistics gath ered some years ago, France was proved to hold first place in the list, and Eng land came a long way below it, and a curious thing about it is that half of the whole number in France belongs to the northern portion of the country. By the statistics to which I have re ferred, Russia stood lowest of aJl countries. It was one . of the jokes among Frenchmen that the fogs of England were responsible for the great number of suicides. It is a fact that most of those committed in France were committed in the brightest and sunniest portions of the year. " St. Louis Globe-Democrat "American" Muntaches In' England. . I suppose it is not generaUy men tioned when 1 American gentlemen are by, but there is a mustache known in England as the "American." This I take to be one which extends itself down on either side of the lower jaw, whence it is combed or brushed or twisted out' into prolonged tufts, in close resemblance to the tail of a goat. I confess 1 have seen several American gentlemen so embellished. it is sare to say wnen tney nave Deen in London a few days, and have walked about the west end, these pro longations promptly vanish. I know just one Englishman with this sort of ' mustache yes, there are two, and one is a southern coun try baronet. But they furnish rare exceptions to an overwhelming rule. London Cor.
