At San Jose, Cal., there has been filed in the Superior Court a petition by County Treasurer Joseph A. Lotz, ask- ing that the trustees of the Leland Stan ford (Jr.) University, Mrs. Jane L. Stan ford, individually and as executrix of Leland Stanford's will and other legacies under said will, be cited to appear and show cause why the tax on the amounts of the collateral devises and bequests provided for in the will have not been paid. This is the first case brought un der the State inheritance tax law passed last March. " Arthur Dudley Vinton, attorney for the Prescott and Arizona Central, rail road, has filed a petition for the appoint ment of a receiver for the Atlantic and Pacific railroad. The petition is very voluminous, and consists mostly of a recital of the numerous suits which he has instituted against the Atlantic and Pacific Company on behalf of the road he represents, which quit business three months ago. The petitioner incorporated his disapproval of the appointment of Reinhart and McCook as receivers ot the Atchison Company. Beyond the filing no action was taken on the petition.- The n-1 earnings of the Oregon Rail way and Navigation according to the re ports of the Union Pacific have for sev eral vears shown a deficiency after pay ing the 6 per cent stipulated in the leaseJ on the uregon jtiauway anu jaavigauuu stock, and it is not thought the deficiency can be overcome by the receivers of the Union Pacific. 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 securing the bonds. The question seems susceptible of three resolutions, either the stockholders 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 else set aside 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 in a revision of rates. ...... The San Francisco Bridge Company has made 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 Coos Bay. It broke up off the coast of Humboldt county, and became a total loss. It is believed, however, that the company has assets sufficient to satisfy all creditors and resume business, and that the assignment is really to gain time. The assignment was made to Sheriff McDade under the new law. He has placed 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 expects to see its way clear to re sume business. The schedule of liabili ties filed in the records office allows that the company owes $172,822.28, nearly all ef which it due to local banks and busi est! koUSM." ' ' ." . I Barber Shop THE . MIDWINTER EXPOSITION Weekly Circular Letter No. T.) The work of preparation for the Ex position has now reached a point where the aesthetic ideas of the management are beginning to hear fruit. 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 haps, in the East than in California on account of his extensive experience with the Harpers, and more recently with the Columbian Exposition has been ap- pointed as director of color for the Mid winter Exposition, and to him falls the duty or superintending the decoration of the Exposition buildings. There has been made no effort in this connection to pattern after the Columbian Exposi tion. . The term "White City" will never be appropriately applied to this Exposition. Mr. Graham'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 clim.ite of California, and the darkness of background afforded by the alm'ost 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 domes of the Administration build ing will be heavily gilded, and the west era sun, striking full upon them, will undoubtedly play a very important part in the picturesqueness of the pano rama. Mr. Graham says that several of the buildings of this Exposition sur pass in perfection of detail and architec tural development the buildings of the Columbian Exposition, and that m the line of opportunity offered for pictur esque and landscape effects, the like has never been seen 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 being installed in one end, the basiu 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 rich loam has 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 mcit 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 court, 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 of all nations by day, and electric arc lights at night; and between them the sun will shine upon long lines of parti-oolored, streamers, while the darkness of each succeeding night will berelievedby long lines of incandescent lights and fancy lanterns in the development of the carnival effects which have been contemplated in this connection. The work on the concessional build ings is proceeding satisfactorily. The exposition will be nearer ready on open ing day than has been the case of any large exposition in the history of the world. The management of the Expo sition are to te particularly congratu lated on the fact that in the erection of the 70 odd structures within the Expo sition grounds, on which there has been an aggregate expenditure of nearly $1,000,000, there has, thus far, occurred no labor trouble, no accidents, and not even an alarm of fire. The programme, for opening day has not yet been completed, but the cere monies will be of a character to war rant the unbottling of all the enthusi asm which San Francisco and the ad- pining 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 safe to say that when opening day shall arrive the city will be more gaily decorated and its inhabitants, will turn out 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. Both these fairs will be held this year in connection with the Midwinter Ex position, ajjd it will be interesting Eastern people to know that these grand displays of oranges and lemons are made in the months of January and February. The management ' of the state citrus fair northern . district has just announced its dates rto be from Jan, 15 to Feb. 15, and that of Southern California will be on at the same time. 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- FROM WASHINGTON CITY. Information has reached the Treasury Department from the Appraiser of Mer chandise at the port of Chicago that the transportation companies have failed to take away rapidly the portion of mer chandise at the World's Fair intended for exportation ; consequently there are now at least 20,000 packages lying in the buildings, which cannot be removed by December 31. The Collector has accord ingly asked that the time be extended for holding the buildings as a construct ive bonded warehouse, and the exposi tion omeials have agreed to provide suit able police supervision for the customs interests during the period over which the customs control shall be maintained, In consideration of these facts the Treas ury 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 promised to re turn the goods to the seaboard free if the railroad charges were paid one way. Now that the fair is over they are indifferent to the matter, and are using their own convenience . and giving other freight preference. t A subiect which will receive some con- sideration at the hands of the Committee on Appropriations of the House at this session of Congress is embodied in a bill introduced by Ssayres, its Chairman, en titled " a bill to repeal certain laws re lating to permanent and indefinite appro priations." .Bins having this object in view have appeared perennially during tne past ten years, out tor various rea- sons have failed of enactment. The ob ject of recalling these permanent appro priations and having Congress pass upon matters covered oy them each year is that it will conduce to a more thorough and careful examination of the items of appropriation than are obtainable under the present system bv which accounts are audited and passed upon by account ing officers, and where no opportunity is leit lor scrutiny Dy the congressional committee. At the same time objection is made against the changes proposed bv the bill because of the injustice that would result to claimants entitled to the amounts paid them under 'the present system without recourse to specific Con gressional legislation. The bill now be fore the committee excludes from its provisions the various laws therein spec- ned, including the sinking lund and other appropriations under which amounts to many million dollars, rough ly estimated at aDout one-third of the total permanent appropriations. The total annual permanent appropriations tor the nscal year 1894 were $113,444 680, and it is estimated for 1895 at $101,074,- 680. The committee has referred the bill to Secretary Carlisle for, his views on the changes proposed, and accounting olhcers of the department will be asked to suDmit their opinions belore any rec ommendation is made in the matter by the Secretary. Ihe air of mystery assumed bv the senate committee on f oreign Keiations in its Hawaiian investigation gives the impression 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 ot our diplomatic relations with those islands. There is reason for believing that while presumably the present quest is lor information bearing upon the conduct of Stevens and Blount there will.be an effort at the same time to obtain any information which will in the first place prove the capability of the islands for self-government, and in the second the desirability or otherwise of annexing these islands at some time in the future. It is understood perfectly by members of the committee who might have these in view that there is no hone of annexing the islands under the pres ent administration, but those who favor this disposition of the little kingdom do not intend to be swerved from their pur pose bv the fact that one administration s opposed to this course. Senator Mor gan, Chairman of the committee, has been scrupulously careful about express ing opinions upon the Hawaiian ques tion, or mam testing a disposition to do or say anything which would appear extra-judicial, but he is known to be a tirm Deiiever in the wisdom of attaching the islands to this country as a part of it, just as Alaska is at present attached, and the fact that he has very recently introduced a bill in the Senate "providing a form of government for any acquired territory lends plausibility to the sup position that he is looking forward to possibilities far beyond anything in cluded in the resolution under which' the committee is authorized to conduct the present hearing. As a plausible ex planation of the origin of the bill, and without some end like the acquisition of Hawaii, it is difficult to find anv reason for its existence. Those who know" Mor gan best say he is not the man to attempt to secure legislation that would fit a tup 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 witi.' which they are concerned. Meantitne Minister Thurston, now in Hawaii, will have been heard from as to the capacitv of the present government for tempor arily managing the affairs of the 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 committee's in vestigations.

THE NEW CHINESE MINISTER. Tang Tn Is a Peroon of Considerable Im - portance at Home and Abroad. A very influential personage in the Flow ery Kingdom is Mr. Yang Yu, the new Chinese minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to the United States, Spain' and Peru. Besides belonging to a family of distinction, he has great wealth in city real estate, mining property and rice plan tations and is altogether a man whom the authorities of his native land delight to honor. As minister to three countries he possesses great power, appointing all his official subordinates, subject to the confir mation of the emperor. , ' MINISTER YANG TV. Minister Yu is of distinguished appear ance and bearing, comporting himself with the easy air of a man born to authority. He is 53 years of age, rather above the medium height, stoutly built and weighs about 190 pounds. He knows no language but Chi nese, but that fact is not expected to inter fere with his diplomatic usefulness, as he has hod much experience in statecraft and will be assisted by very able interpreters Chinese graduates of our own best univer sities, one of them, Mun Yew Chung, hav ing been cockswain of the Yale boat crew. The minister brought with him the most numerous and most gorgeously attired suit that ever attended a foreign functionary in this country. Besides his v.-1 To and three children, it consisted of 4U officials of va rious grades, several of them also accom panied by their wives, and 86 servants. The diplomats are assigned by the minister to posts in the various countries under his iurisdiction. They come from all parts of China and are all of influential families and well educated. , None of them knew in advance to what post he was to be sent. Mr. Yu is credited with entertaining a Very friendly feeling for the United States and is said to be anxious to maintain cor dial relations between our Kovernment and his own.'. He possesses the complete con fidence of the Chinese court, and having had-eharge of some vt the-most important- customs districts in the empire bos been . brought more or less in contact with con suls and other government officials from all parts of the world. i Ho Wanted to Be Sure.

"Then he relapsed again, and in about fifteen minutes he beckoned to the con ductor. " 'Is this train running now? he asked as before. " ' "'Course it is. What's the matter with you? said the conductor angrily. " 'Don t git mad about it, urged the passenger mildly. 'I don't . mean no in sult. This yer train runs so slow that I can't tell when it's goin and when it ain't, and I've got to git off at the next station er the weddin that's set fer 0 o'clock won't take place, that's all. 1 ham t nothin ag in you ner the road, but I'm jist a leetle mite anxious about landin in time fer the occasion, you un derstand.'
