GkorokGakd hae covered himself with glory in the Evane-Sontag captures. Ordinarily our pictorial work is well done, hut we are afraid tbat our "counterfeit present- ment" of the gallant marshal yeaterday scarcely did him justice. A good eign for constitutional govern- ment in Germany ie tbe activity shown by that people in the elections for the reichstag. There appear to be over twenty parties which have candidates in the field, ln a little while tne Ger- mans will learn how to concent rate tbeir efforts, and then parliamentary govern- ment will It ??gin with them in earneat. The first steps iv thiß complicated pro- gramme are necessarily slow. Hon. En J. Rose linn returned from Chicago, nnd ho haa pleasant words to say of the California exhibit, It is just possible that, under the influence of bad weather, and a luck of forwardness at an early stage of ihe world's fair, there was too much mil too loose an arraignment of the work of the California commis- sioners. From our special correspond- ents we have been pleased to learn that Loa Angolea county at leaat is resplend- ent in every kind of attraction. Tub capture of Evans followed fast npon that of his chum, Sontag, as we predicted in yesterday's Herald. We shall now see a repetition of morbid sympathy materialize for these noted highwaymen and murderers. When Yaeqnez wae brought into thia city on a stretcher and placed in a cell, the jailer waß besieged by hysterical women who wanted to take fiowere to the wounded bandit. Evans and Sontag Will be the lions of the hour to a certain class of people of ili-balancod minds lor several weeks to come. The Key. Reams who eloped from Fresno with a young girl, forgetting, in the hurry of departure, to take his wife along, is railing against tiie tyranny of British law in Victoria, which shuts him up for a little thing like that, and even denies him tho privilege to go out amongst the Victorian heathen and de- claim against the opening of the world's fail on Sundsy, or to denounce the in- iquity of fhe Oeary law to rapt crowds of Chinese sitting on Die boundary line and ready to spring across it into tho forbidden land. The new circulators ot the Hbrald, the Messrs. Franklin i\: Levering, are mooting with great success in their en- ergetic ell'ortß to place the Huuai.d within reach of oar subscribers at an early hoar. The fact onght to be borne in mind that these .young gentlemen have only had charge of he routes for two weeks, that they have been obliged to thoroughly reorganise them, and that the hueinnaß at the start ia necessarily complicated. Their success under the circumstances is simply They are not only holding their own, but they are adding daily to nur city circulation at a season of tbe year when tbe circulation of a newspaper generally decreases, owing to the departures for the mountains aud the seaside. The Hkuai.d proposna not only to keep up ita old record of eerving its patrons with all tii4 newa, both from the Associated Press and from all local points, but to h" i that thie paper reaches ite subscrib- ers before breakfast. It la our aim to have the workingman know all the newa of the day before he starts for his work. THE NICARAGUAN REVOLUTION ANDTHE CANAL. There will doubtless he an interna- tional pnper fins between the new government of Nicaragua and the I'nited States because a few marines were landed from an American man of war to protect the canal. From hints thrown out, there Is reason to believe that the late aucceselnl revolution in Nicaragua was largely provoked by Kneland and Herman influences inimi- cal lo Sacnzi on account of hia favorable disposition towards the United States and to Ihe canal corporation. Doubtleße the administration waß fully informed of this, and hence Its anxiety to get war vessels to tbe isthmus with the utmost expedition, so as to afford protection to the canal. Naturally, if the successful revolution was brought about in part by opposition to American interests in the canal, those intereete would be in some danger when the revolution triumphed. Ifit transpires that the newgovernment is inimical to the canal, we shall know for certain that the revolution was backed hv the influences named, and that it was iv great measure thereaultof intrigues aimed against the r.aual as an American project. Mr. Cleveland, there- fore, knew what he was doing when he hurried war veaeela to both sides of the isthmus, and the commander only car- ried out instructions when he landed a detachment of marines to protect the property of the canal corporation. This will be an excellent opportunity to teach Nicaragua a lesson. The con- cessions made by that country to an American corporation must be reßpeoted by whatever government may he set up by the revolutionary factions of the Cen- tral American state. The Nicaragua canal will be built and controlled by American capital, and this control iwill be firmly backed by the power of tbe United States agi mot any infringement whatever, whether it come from the Nicnraguan or any other government. The new government of Nicaragua can- not be too early and too significantly im- pressed with this fact, ff there is a party in that Republic disposed to throw obaticlea in the way of the canal company, or to enter into intrigues prejudicial to ite interests with a view to invite any other country there to ham- per its operations, the sooner that party ib brought to its senses by sharp oliicial notification from the United States the better will it be for Nicaragua. As far as the inter jceanic Banal is concerned, we have gone there to Btay, aud il the only terme on which we can stay is to take armed poaeeosion of American property there, we Bhall take armed possession,. Then if that will not do, we shall brinit the little state *to ita seuses by more drastic means. The Nicaragua canal is to be made a highway of the world between the two oceans. Its use by the vessels of all nations will be regulated on equitable principles; but as the United States hae the largest interest in the canal, it will be controlled by Americans, under the terms of its concessions and basked by the whole power of this country, (treat Uritain would not dare, in view of its position as to the Isthmus of Suez, nor France, for the same reason as well aa its relation to the Panama canal design, openly antagonize the United States in its rights on the Isthmus ot Nicaragua. Whatever may be done by intrigue and underhand measures can be readily oli'eet by a firm and bold stand taken upon our rights. TiiKitii seems to be very strange hap- penings in connection with the trial of Heath and Polley, charged with the murder of Louis B. McWhirter, at Fresno. The trial was eet for yesterday, but some of the principal witnesses for the prosecution are found to bs absent (torn tho state. Dr. 0. V. P. Watson, a very important witness, has disappeared. I!.- was to teatify that he saw Heath and his companion in the alley at the rear of McWhirter's residence immediately be- fore tho shooting took place, anil it is said that it was largely due to his evi- dence that the grand jury found tha in- dictments. Since he gave tha* testi- mony the doctor's house was destroyed by tire during his temporary absence. Li st week he waa sunpoenaed and waa requested to come to the district attor- ney's ofhce on Monday last. He prom- ised to do so, bat did not, and when a messenger was cent for him it was dis- covered that he had left the state, pre- sumably for Arizona or Texas. Being outsi.ie California, he is now beyond the jurisdiction ot the court. These mya terions happenings and diaappearancea look as if there were powerful influences at work to secure a mistrial of the ac- cused. The district attorney, however, says that, though the testimony of Wat- son and other of the absentees waa ma- terial, he believes the people still have evidence enough to make out a strong case. __________ Skckktary Caki.ihi.k yeaterday had an interview with an Associated Preas representative in which he gave un- equivocal evidence that he is quite hos- tile to Bilver. ln thie respect tliis dis- tinguished gentleman differs very markedly from moat of the congressmen fro., his own section. He claims that the government has lost $11,000,0001f on thb coins.i'e of silver eince 1878. He neglects to state, however, that this loss is referable to the most persistent con- spiracy that was ever directed against any mmey eince the world began ; and that, ac a general thing, the adruinietra- tion of the government, nnder all par- ties, unlike the legislative department, has been steadily inimical to silver. We hear much about maintaining a parity between all the moneys of the United States. How can such a parity be maintained when the government pays out only one kind of money to its creditors? If tbe people of the United States were to plant themselves on the verity of history and were to repeal the lying declaration tbat the principal and interest of tho public debt ia payable in gold coin, making it payable in lawful money, this demand for gold would caase, and silver would rapidly mount to par. The Latin races would gladly welcome such a policy on the part of thie couutry, and a public sentiment is gathering in England that would shortly force that nation into the bi-metnllia league. The great wrong which was committed when silver was demonet : zed iv 1873 has been continu- ously augmented by the fact that tiie government ot the United States, in spite of the overwhelmiug sentiment of congress in favor of this, one of the twin metals of the constitution, haa, without an exception, done its best to discredit one of its own currencies; and has occu- pied an attitude so equivocal that no foreign government has been able to co- operate with this conntry. The litigation which haa followed on the expiration of the time for registra- tion allowed by the Geary act hae cer- tainly had some interesting features. It would naturally seem that a law which was plainly intended to have eomo pro- nounced exclusive features ought to have some operative effect. Nothing is more certain, however, than that the word of promise held out by this law has not beed kept to the ear, while it has beeu greatly broken to the hope. The Democratic party in the old days incurred considerable unpopularity by the enforcement of obnoxious laws, par- ticularly the Dred Scott decision. It looks very much, just now, as if on this coast particularly it is liable to suffer some diminution of popularity by not enforcing a law of the United States which was intended to bring the Chinese evil within the power of the federal authorities. As to the average sentiment of the people of the Pacific coast there can be no doubt. It is in the line that the law is just and ought to be enforced. That was probably the opinion of the con- gress that passsd the law, of the presi- dent who signed it and of the supreme court that affirmed its conatitutionality. Thus far the will of the Chinese Six Companies is tbe supreme law of the land. There are sometimes cases in which the law is frightfully abused. Yester- day a young girl of 16, named Tina Beagle, was arrested for forgery and sent up to the county jail to await her arraignment before Justice Bartholo- mew thia morning, at 10 o'clock. Her crime ia alleged to havo been the writ- ing of an order on a livery Siable keeper for a buggy, and signing the nnmo of the complainant to it. The poor girl says that the man who procured her ar- rest authorized her to aign big name if she desired to do so. Who alao adds that he has tried to prostitute her, and that the prosecution from which she so cruelly suffers ia the result of his enmity at failing to accompliah his n9farions ende. Whatsoever the facts of the caee may be, the angels of heaven must weep at the immurement in jail, with hard- ened criminals, of such a mere child. be is said to bethedaughter of respect- able parents residing in Alhambra, and her father is supposed to be at the point of death from a stroke of paralysis at hearing of her arrest and imprisonment. And yet this ia said to be a Christian conntry! The story sounds like an echo from barbaric lands. The extinction of the Evans-Sontag combination will result in a very con- siderable discount on dime novel hero- ism. The fact that these paendo heroes have been landed in jail bloody, dirty, footsore and half starved, accentuates tho supremacy of the law over brawny rudiauiam. One and all, the despera- does take the same course. They gen- erally die with their boota on, and theße are perhaps the happiest of the guild. Generally, when not killed outright, they are dragged into some jail only to sutler untold agonies, and to be led thence to the scaffold. There ia noth- ing in the course of such bloodstained adventurers to fire the imagination of a boy. Of pleasure they know nothing from the time their atrocious career be- gins. They fear every officer a bush, and their lives are simply an illustra- tion of tha scriptural aphorism that they who take the sword shall perish by the sword, Santa Monica, of late, has been the subject of mixed fortunes, much of its diepenaation being of a disappointing character. Thia has chopped lately, and everything now has a roseate hue. The creation of a groat harbor at Port Los Angeles is of course a big thing for the "City by the Sea," and the full eig- nilicance of this development is under- stood by her people. But the entangle- ments in which the Hotel Arcadia bo- came involved very naturally had the effect of casting a sort of gloom over the place. The Herald is pieasel to be able to announce that on the let of July the Hotel Arcadia will ha re-opene.i under the auspices of Mr. Samuel Rein- jhart, and that this temporary drawback will be removed from the place. It will be run as both a summer and winter resort. ___________ Governor Altoblt of Illinois is not partial to the exactions thecowboyß pro- pose to aubject their horses to in their seven hundred-mile rueh from Cnadron, jin Nebraska, to Chicago. Tne European experiment of a race from Vienna tn Berlin by cavalrymen of the German and Austrian armies left a very unpleasant imprjsaion ou humane people all ovei the world. Tha cowboys started day before yesterday, however, and what effect the governor's proclamation and the efforts of the societies for the pre- vention of cruelty to animals will have on the enterprise will doubtless shortly be apparent. The race will probably come to an end long before the windy city is reached. SOCIETY. Laat Saturday afternoon a very jolly party aecended Wilson's peak. Tbe day waß perfect, even the bnrroa felt unusually happy and carried their merry human loads with a certain brisk- ness up Wilson's picturesque trail. Sun- day was spent visiting the different peaka. Monday evening found the party all home, well satisfied with the trip. Those who were up there were: Mrs. B. Reich, Loe Angles; Miss Jennie Newman and Miss Frowney Newman of San Francisco, J. Reich, I. Sanders, M. Newman and Master E. Newman. The Tuesday evening club will give a dancing party at Kramer's hall next Monday night. THEATRICAL MATTERS. Grand Opera Hoi'se.?On the 19th and 20th Bobby Gayler will be seen in his farce comedy Sport McAllister. It is claimed that the company consist of a large number of able people, and new songs and features will be introduced. OUR NEW NAVY. Ponr or the largest Battle Ships Yet Built ln This Country. The Examiner says that the launch of the Massachusetts by the Cramps leaves the Oregon at the Union iron workß the only one of the three battle ships authorized by the fifty-first congress still on the stocks. The Cramps are building tbe Indiana and Massachusetts, and haws launched them both. These two vessels, when finished, willbe able to destroy all the ahips of our navy now afloat. They are by far the largest ves- sels ever launched in American waters. The Cramps have the honor of having launched the four largest ships ever floated in the western hemisphere, namely, the Indiana, Masaachnsstts, New York and Columbia. To these they will shortly add five steamers for the American line, of 10,000 to 13,000 tonß each, nnd three more war ships of the largest size, the lowa, Brook- lyn and Minneapolis. This will make twelve veseelß from this one yard, each larger than any launched up to thie time anywhere etae in the new world. The smallest of the 12 is the Columbia, of 7350 tons. The largest ship thus far launched in Amer- ica outaide of the Cramps' yard is the Maine, of 6648 tons, at the Brooklyn navy yard, nnd the next largest is the Texas, at tiSOO tons, at Norfolk. But when the Union Iron works launch the Oregon, of 10,200 tors, they will havo one ship afloat that will rank with the greatest sent out by tho Philaejilphianß. As soon as the reconstruction of the American fleet waa fairly under way our nftval designers began to shower novelties upon the world. Our guns are now the fineat in existence, we have developed the newest wrinkles in range- finders and torpedoes, and tbe Britieh navy is to be protected wiah armor con- structed by an American procesß. The laat enngrooa wo. not very venerone in its provision ior new atura, but the n, lr department succeeded in producing some novelties, regardless of ita limited opportunitieß. Three gunboats, of 1200 tons ench, were authorized at the laat ae-'sion. Two of these are to be constructed on the composite plan? tne first departure from the all-steel rule Bince the work of rebuilding our navy began?and the en- gines of theae two composite vessels are to be the first of the kind in the world. A warship haa poculiar requirements iv the matter of engine power. It needs high speed at rsre intervale, and the rest of the time it needs machinery that will jog along economically at a moder- ate gait. It hae been found heretofore that the engines of great power have not been economical at ordinary epeede. The bureau of engineering has set itself to produce something that will, and it thinks it has succeeded. SEVENTH STREET. An Informal Discussion of the Linns for Its Widening. An informal discussion of the land on Seventh streat between Broadway and Spring which is jointly claimed by Mr. Jnckeon and the city, took place yester- day afternoon in the city attorney's office. Councillors Munson, Innes, Rhodes and Nichols, City Attorney Dunn, City Engineer Doc_weiler, Mr. Jackson and Captain Moore were pres- ent, aud Mayor Rowan aleo dropped in towards the end. No definite marks could be decided upon from which to run the lines. Cap- tain Moore, although the oldest person present acquainted with the lines and marking atonea could not exactly re- member just where tho inebriated Indi- ans had dropped them ac tbe city engi- neer so graphically recounted the pre- vious day, and it wae decided to inter- view Mr. Hanson and find if poaaiblo he conid give any infoimation which would throw light upon tne subject. Juet what information Mr. Hanaoh was able to convey could not be learned last night. A REDLANDS MINISTER. He Is snld lo Have Deserted His Wife aud Ohllil. About two months ago Rev. T. F. Smith, pastor of the colored church in thia city, cays the Redlands Citrograph, left rather unceremoniously, and since that time hia family, who aro now al- most destitute, bave heard nothing de- finite as to his whereabouts except by rumor. An ugly atory is going the rounile about hia having eloped with a San Bernardino colored lady, who waß eaid to have been seen with him in BikershoM, and inquiry of Mrs, Smith revealed her worat fears as to the truth of the story. She feels quite gloomy aud despondent over tha matter, and believes that her husband haa deserted her. She states that some colored follte sow him only a short time ago in Loa Angelea, but he has since heen hoard of in San Jose and Marysville. Ho hss sent no money to provide for her and a ; eick daughter. Or tham Again In the Tolls. Sax Francisco, June 13.?Dr. George i H.

THE FORD'S THEATER VICTIMS, Second Day's Session of the Coroner's Jury. More Clerks Testify as to the Inse- curity of the Building. \ Colonel Ainsworth Not Present?He Files a Petition for a Mandsuisi-An Examination of Other Pub- lic Buildings Begun. By tho Associated Press. Washington, June 13. ?By direction of the commissioner for the District of Columbia, the inquest over the victims of the theater disaster continued pub- licly in Willard'a hall. Clerks and oth- ers crowded, nearly every part of the hall. To prevent a repetition of the trouble of.yesterday, a squad of police attended. Neither Colonel Ainsworth nor hie attorney appeared. Ernest Bsler, a record and pension divieion clerk, told of his fear tbat the building would fall during excavation. He gave the firßt testimony concerning the existence of the alleged petition to Colonel Ainsworth, asking that the clerks be furloughed during the progress of the work in tbe basement. He said he understood such a petition was drafted, but the clerks refused to sign it becauee they feared the consequences. Clerk Edwards said he went into the cellar while excavation was going on and saw no underpinning. Testimony that clerks were directed to walk carefully on the Btairway was given by Harry Brandon, Frank Randolph Baid feeling toward the heads of the bureau was not cordial, and especially toward Chief Clerk Jacob Fruch, who treated the men as dogs and not as men. COLONEL AINSWORTH'B PETITION. In the district supreme court a peti- tion was filed by Colonel Ainsworth, giving in detail the statement of the condition of the building and his par- ticipation in the work. He repeats at great length his former statements made by him as to his knowledge of the condi- tion of the building, etc. He repeats hie experience at the inquest yeeterday, and asks that the deputy coroner be com- manded to permit him to bo present with counsel and adopt bucli measureß as are necessary to protect his life,which has been threatened. District Attorney Burney filed a de- murrer, claiming that Ainsworth's peti- tion did not set forth any matter that entitlnd him to a mandamus. Colonel Ainsworth has not been accused, said Burney, save by the newspapers. There has been no charge, warrant or arrest. The court took the question under ad- visement until tomorrow. THE WINDER nUII.DINO EXAMINED. Supervising Architect O'Rourke today made a preliminary examination of the Winder building, occupied as the second auditor's office. Tbe building is very . old. O'Rourke said he found it safe, but unfit for the purposes for which It is used. He will examine the other treas- ury buildings within the next few days, and then take np tho buildings occupied by the other executive departments. A Pb.CUL.IiIK Prevalent Among: Cnttle ln San Bernar- dino Connty. Dr. Davidson, the woh known veteri- narian of this city, reports a strange complaint prevalent among the cattle of this region. It is a dieeaee of the bone, beat likened to ray fungus, which starts ineide the bone and comaumes it until only a thin shell is left. It generally starts iv the bones of the left shoulder, gradually reaches other portions of the body, and invariably terminates in death, generally in from three to five mouths. It is as falsi as glanders, and supposed to be as contagious. It some- times attacks the flesh, but not fre- quently. The horse it also liable to the strange malady, but few cases have been reported co far. It generally attacks cattle pastured on heavy dark loam. Last Sunday seven cattle belonging to Cal Patton, which were suffering from the peculiar complaint, had to be killed, and other cases are reported. Dr. Davidson ia making a study of the die- ease and sent some of the bones of animals that died from the disease to Los Angeles for microscopical examina- tion. The disease has excited a great deal of iitereat among stock-owners and cattlemen. It is something new to them, and they are at sea as to the beat method of guarding againet it..?["San Bernardino Times Index June Sth. DELINQUENT TAXES.

Doyle; vice-preai- dent, Charles Bundsdin; treasurer, Allen Towle; chief executive officer, Clarence Wetmore.

I It Ii Ob the Bills With an October Date. The San Franciaco Chronicle of Mon- day says: An eclipse of the sun which will affect this country to a considerable extent has been arranged for October 9th at 8:13 in the evening. The astronomical phenomenon will be visible on the western coast of South America, Mexico and some portions of Canada, but it will not be necessary to light the gas in this city on account of the eclipse, as it is generally lighted at tbat hour. Immediately after the sun has been doused a large and energetic earthquake is billed to entertain the inhabitants of the western hemisphere. According to Frank Neidl it will be a 100-100. Mr. Neidl is a- modest professor of astro-meteorology and astrology in this city. When weary of studying astral bodies and predicting things he invents something nsefnl. One favorite brand of smokeless powder has been attrib- uted to him, and he is now engaged in trying to invent a noiseless cobble-stone for uee in large cities. Astralogy, however, is Mr. Neidl's great hobby. By looking tt the stars and then referring to an almanac, im- ported at great expense from Europe, he can tell things tbat other people never dreamed of. Still he gets nothing for it. He does other people's predicting for them simply because he likea the work. The eclipse, with tbe earthquake on the aide, which he has arranged to come off thia fall, is going to be well worth seeing. If not too tired Mr. Neidl will remain up himself to observe tbe phe- nomena. Immediately after the eclipse the earth willbegin to shiver like a mold of calves' foot jelly, and also split open in places. Large islands that have long broken the monotony of tho Pacific's watery wasteß will be ewallowed up, but new ones are expected in other places. Gigantic tidal waves created by the up- heaval will break chunks off the edge of the United States and carry them out to sea, never to be seen or heard of again. People living along the coast should take timely warning and move back into the interior counties before October 9, 1893. Of course ftreat losb of life will attend tbe disturbance, but there is no fear of the earth being entirely de- stroyed. Mr. Neidl Bays himself that nature can never entirely exterminate herself. No matter how great the shock, there would still remain a few ragged edges of the earth to which those fortunate enough to be in the vicinity could cling until rescued. During Mr." Neid'ls seis- mic disturbance the shocks will be alarmingly frequent, but he is prepared for the worst. California Patents. Messrs.

Anda Sauser recently shipped a car- load of ore to San Francisco from the Occidental mine in Aqua Caliente dis- trict says tbe BakereUeld Oalifornian, and obtained a yield of over 200 ounces in silver and $60 in gold per ton. Three tons of the same ore were re- cently worked at the Rogers mill and! the resnltß were very satisfactory. It was found that by crushing in a Hunt- ington mill and concentrating, over 90 per cent of the value waa saved. Two shafts 45 feet apart have been sunk each 20 feet and from tbe bottom drifts are being run to connect, co far in pay. The pay vein averages about 18 inches and altogether the indica- tions are very flattering. Mr. Sausa has recently sold the mine to San FVancisco parties, who propose to develope it extensively and will probably soon erect a mill. Chris Moore is working on an ex- tension of the same vein, which he is opening with shafts and tunnels, thua far making an equally good showing with the Occidental. The Oedroa Island Mine. The San Diego Union saya: An amend- ed complaint was filed in the county clerk's office yesterday in the case of Joseph Goldtborpe vs. the Oedros Island Mining and Milling company. The plaintiff succeeded to the intereeit- of Jones Anderson in the matter, and sues for $7200 alleged to be due in a transac- tion whereby the defendant bscame own- er of the mines on Cedroa island, ahd which were diecovered by Anderson on March 17, 1889, being subsequent!- sold by him to the defendant lor $10,000.

A good eign for constitutional govern-ment in Germany ie tbe activity shownby that people in the elections for thereichstag. There appear to be overtwenty parties which have candidatesin the field, ln a little while tne Ger-mans will learn how to concent rate tbeirefforts, and then parliamentary govern-ment will It ??gin with them in earneat.The first steps iv thiß complicated pro-gramme are necessarily slow.
Hon. En J. Rose linn returned fromChicago, nnd ho haa pleasant words tosay of the California exhibit, It is justpossible that, under the influence of badweather, and a luck of forwardness at anearly stage of ihe world's fair, there wastoo much miltoo loose an arraignment
of the work of the California commis-sioners. From our special correspond-ents we have been pleased to learn thatLoa Angolea county at leaat is resplend-ent in every kind of attraction.
Tub capture of Evans followed fastnpon that of his chum, Sontag, as we
predicted in yesterday's Herald. Weshall now see a repetition of morbidsympathy materialize for these notedhighwaymen and murderers. WhenYaeqnez wae brought into thia city on astretcher and placed in a cell, the jailerwaß besieged by hysterical women whowanted to take fiowere to the woundedbandit. Evans and Sontag Will be thelions of the hour to a certain class ofpeople of ili-balancod minds lor severalweeks to come.
The Key. Reams who eloped fromFresno with a young girl, forgetting, inthe hurry of departure, to take his wifealong, is railing against tiie tyranny ofBritish law in Victoria, which shuts himup for a little thing like that, and evendenies him tho privilege to go outamongst the Victorian heathen and de-claim against the opening of the world'sfailon Sundsy, or to denounce the in-iquity of fhe Oeary law to rapt crowdsof Chinese sitting on Die boundary lineand ready to spring across it into thoforbidden land.
The new circulators ot the Hbrald,the Messrs. Franklin i\: Levering, aremooting with great success in their en-
ergetic ell'ortß to place the Huuai.dwithin reach of oar subscribers at anearly hoar. The fact onght to be bornein mind that these .young gentlemenhave only had charge of he routes fortwo weeks, that they have been obligedto thoroughly reorganise them, and thatthe hueinnaß at the start ia necessarilycomplicated. Their success under thecircumstances is simply
They are not only holding their own,but they are adding daily to nur citycirculation at a season of tbe year whentbe circulation of a newspaper generallydecreases, owing to the departures forthe mountains aud the seaside. TheHkuai.d proposna not only to keep upita old record of eerving its patrons withall tii4 newa, both from the AssociatedPress and from all local points, but toh" i that thie paper reaches ite subscrib-ers before breakfast. It la our aim tohave the workingman know all the newaof the day before he starts for his work.
THE NICARAGUAN REVOLUTION ANDTHECANAL.
There will doubtless he an interna-tional pnper fins between the newgovernment of Nicaragua and theI'nited States because a few marineswere landed from an American man ofwar to protect the canal. From hintsthrown out, there Is reason to believethat the late aucceselnl revolution inNicaragua was largely provoked byKneland and Herman influences inimi-cal lo Sacnzi on account of hia favorabledisposition towards the United Statesand to Ihe canal corporation. Doubtleßethe administration waß fully informedof this, and hence Its anxiety to get warvessels to tbe isthmus with the utmostexpedition, so as to afford protection tothe canal. Naturally, if the successfulrevolution was brought about in part byopposition to American interests in thecanal, those intereete would be in somedanger when the revolution triumphed.Ifit transpires that the newgovernmentis inimical to the canal, we shallknow for certain that the revolutionwas backed hv the influences named, andthat it was iv great measure thereaultofintrigues aimed against the r.aual as anAmerican project. Mr. Cleveland, there-fore, knew what he was doing when hehurried war veaeela to both sides of theisthmus, and the commander only car-ried out instructions when he landeda detachment of marines to protect theproperty of the canal corporation.
This will be an excellent opportunityto teach Nicaragua a lesson. The con-cessions made by that country to anAmerican corporation must be reßpeotedby whatever government may he set upby the revolutionary factions of the Cen-tral American state. The Nicaraguacanal will be built and controlled byAmerican capital, and this control iwillbe firmly backed by the power of tbeUnited States agi mot any infringementwhatever, whether it come from theNicnraguan or any other government.The new government of Nicaragua can-not be too early and too significantly im-pressed with this fact, ff there is aparty in that Republic disposed tothrow obaticlea in the way of the canalcompany, or to enter into intrigues
prejudicial to ite interests with a view toinvite any other country there to ham-per its operations, the sooner that partyib brought to its senses by sharpoliicial notification from the UnitedStates the better will it be forNicaragua. As far as the inter jceanic
Banal is concerned, we have gone thereto Btay, aud il the only terme on whichwe can stay is to take armed poaeeosionof American property there, we Bhalltake armed possession,. Then if thatwill not do, we shall brinit the littlestate *to ita seuses by more drasticmeans.
The Nicaragua canal is to be made a
highway of the world between the twooceans. Its use by the vessels of allnations will be regulated on equitableprinciples; but as the United States haethe largest interest in the canal, it willbe controlled by Americans, under theterms of its concessions and basked by
the whole power of this country, (treat
Uritain would not dare, in view of itsposition as to the Isthmus of Suez, norFrance, for the same reason as well aaits relation to the Panama canal design,openly antagonize the United States inits rights on the Isthmus ot Nicaragua.Whatever may be done by intrigue andunderhand measures can be readilyoli'eet by a firm and bold stand takenupon our rights.
TiiKitii seems to be very strange hap-penings in connection with the trial ofHeath and Polley, charged with themurder of Louis B. McWhirter, at
Fresno. The trial was eet for yesterday,but some of the principal witnesses forthe prosecution are found to bs absent(torn tho state. Dr. 0. V. P. Watson, avery important witness, has disappeared.I!.- was to teatify that he saw Heath andhis companion in the alley at the rear ofMcWhirter's residence immediately be-fore tho shooting took place, anil it issaid that it was largely due to his evi-dence that the grand jury found tha in-dictments. Since he gave tha* testi-mony the doctor's house was destroyed
by tire during his temporary absence.Li st week he waa sunpoenaed and waarequested to come to the district attor-ney's ofhce on Monday last. He prom-ised to do so, bat did not, and when amessenger was cent for him it was dis-covered that he had left the state, pre-sumably for Arizona or Texas. Beingoutsi.ie California, he is now beyond thejurisdiction ot the court. These myaterions happenings and diaappearancealook as if there were powerful influencesat work to secure a mistrial of the ac-cused. The district attorney, however,says that, though the testimony of Wat-son and other of the absentees waa ma-terial, he believes the people still haveevidence enough to make out a strongcase. __________
Skckktary Caki.ihi.k yeaterday had aninterview with an Associated Preasrepresentative in which he gave un-equivocal evidence that he is quite hos-tile to Bilver. ln thie respect tliis dis-tinguished gentleman differs verymarkedly from moat of the congressmenfro., his own section. He claims thatthe government has lost $11,000,0001f onthb coins.i'e of silver eince 1878. Heneglects to state, however, that this lossis referable to the most persistent con-spiracy that was ever directed againstany mmey eince the world began ; andthat, ac a general thing, the adruinietra-
tion of the government, nnder all par-ties, unlike the legislative department,has been steadily inimical to silver. Wehear much about maintaining a paritybetween all the moneys of the UnitedStates. How can such a parity bemaintained when the government paysout only one kind of money toits creditors? If tbe people of theUnited States were to plant themselveson the verity of history and were torepeal the lying declaration tbat theprincipal and interest of tho publicdebt ia payable in gold coin, making itpayable in lawful money, this demandfor gold would caase, and silver wouldrapidly mount to par. The Latin raceswould gladly welcome such a policy onthe part of thie couutry, and a publicsentiment is gathering in England thatwould shortly force that nation into thebi-metnllia league. The great wrongwhich was committed when silver wasdemonet :zed iv 1873 has been continu-ously augmented by the fact that tiiegovernment ot the United States, inspite of the overwhelmiug sentiment ofcongress in favor of this, one of the twinmetals of the constitution, haa, withoutan exception, done its best to discreditone of its own currencies; and has occu-pied an attitude so equivocal that noforeign government has been able to co-operate with this conntry.
The litigation which haa followed onthe expiration of the time for registra-tion allowed by the Geary act hae cer-tainly had some interesting features. Itwould naturally seem that a law whichwas plainly intended to have eomo pro-nounced exclusive features ought tohave some operative effect. Nothing ismore certain, however, than that theword of promise held out by this lawhas not beed kept to the ear, while ithas beeu greatly broken to the hope.The Democratic party in the old daysincurred considerable unpopularity bythe enforcement of obnoxious laws, par-ticularly the Dred Scott decision. Itlooks very much, just now, as if on thiscoast particularly it is liable to suffersome diminution of popularity by notenforcing a law of the United Stateswhich was intended to bring theChinese evil within the powerof the federal authorities. As tothe average sentiment of thepeople of the Pacific coast there can beno doubt. It is in the line that the lawis just and ought to be enforced. Thatwas probably the opinion of the con-gress that passsd the law, of the presi-dent who signed it and of the supremecourt that affirmed its conatitutionality.Thus far the will of the Chinese SixCompanies is tbe supreme law of theland.
There are sometimes cases in whichthe law is frightfully abused. Yester-day a young girl of 16, named TinaBeagle, was arrested for forgery andsent up to the county jailto await herarraignment before Justice Bartholo-mew thia morning, at 10 o'clock. Hercrime ia alleged to havo been the writ-ing of an order on a livery Siable keeperfor a buggy, and signing the nnmo of
the complainant to it. The poor girlsays that the man who procured her ar-rest authorized her to aign big name ifshe desired to do so. Who alao adds thathe has tried to prostitute her, and thatthe prosecution from which she socruelly suffers ia the result of his enmityat failing to accompliah his n9farionsende. Whatsoever the facts of the caeemay be, the angels of heaven must weepat the immurement in jail, with hard-ened criminals, of such a mere child.
be is said to bethedaughter of respect-able parents residing in Alhambra, andher father is supposed to be at the pointof death from a stroke of paralysis athearing of her arrest and imprisonment.And yet this ia said to be a Christianconntry! The story sounds like an echofrom barbaric lands.
The extinction of the Evans-Sontagcombination willresult in a very con-siderable discount on dime novel hero-ism. The fact that these paendo heroeshave been landed in jail bloody, dirty,footsore and half starved, accentuatestho supremacy of the law over brawnyrudiauiam. One and all, the despera-does take the same course. They gen-erally die with their boota on, and theßeare perhaps the happiest of the guild.Generally, when not killed outright,they are dragged into some jail only tosutler untold agonies, and to be ledthence to the scaffold. There ia noth-ing in the course of such bloodstainedadventurers to fire the imagination of aboy. Of pleasure they know nothingfrom the time their atrocious career be-gins. They fear every officer a bush,and their lives are simply an illustra-tion of tha scriptural aphorism thatthey who take the sword shall perishby the sword,
Santa Monica, of late, has been thesubject of mixed fortunes, much of itsdiepenaation being of a disappointingcharacter. Thia has chopped lately, andeverything now has a roseate hue. Thecreation of a groat harbor at Port LosAngeles is of course a big thing forthe "City by the Sea," and the full eig-
nilicance of this development is under-stood by her people. But the entangle-ments in which the Hotel Arcadia bo-came involved very naturally had theeffect of casting a sort of gloom over theplace. The Herald is pieasel to beable to announce that on the let of Julythe Hotel Arcadia will ha re-opene.iunder the auspices of Mr. Samuel Rein-jhart, and that this temporary drawbackwillbe removed from the place. It willbe run as both a summer and winterresort.
___________Governor Altoblt of Illinois is not
partial to the exactions thecowboyß pro-pose to aubject their horses to in theirseven hundred-mile rueh from Cnadron,jin Nebraska, to Chicago. Tne Europeanexperiment of a race from Vienna tnBerlin by cavalrymen of the German andAustrian armies left a very unpleasantimprjsaion ou humane people all ovei
the world. Tha cowboys started daybefore yesterday, however, and what
effect the governor's proclamation andthe efforts of the societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals will haveon the enterprise will doubtless shortlybe apparent. The race will probablycome to an end long before the windycity is reached.
SOCIETY.Laat Saturday afternoon a very jolly
party aecended Wilson's peak. Tbeday waß perfect, even the bnrroa feltunusually happy and carried theirmerry human loads with a certain brisk-ness up Wilson's picturesque trail. Sun-day was spent visiting the differentpeaka. Monday evening found the partyall home, well satisfied with the trip.Those who were up there were: Mrs.B. Reich, Loe Angles; Miss JennieNewman and Miss Frowney Newman ofSan Francisco, J. Reich, I. Sanders, M.Newman and Master E. Newman.
The Tuesday evening club willgive adancing party at Kramer's hall nextMonday night.
THEATRICAL MATTERS.
Grand Opera Hoi'se.?On the 19thand 20th Bobby Gayler will be seen inhis farce comedy Sport McAllister. Itis claimed that the company consist ofa large number of able people, and newsongs and features will be introduced.
OUR NEW NAVY.
Ponr or the largest Battle Ships Yet Builtln This Country.
The Examiner says that the launch ofthe Massachusetts by the Cramps leavesthe Oregon at the Union iron workß theonly one of the three battle shipsauthorized by the fifty-first congressstill on the stocks. The Cramps arebuilding tbe Indiana and Massachusetts,and haws launched them both. Thesetwo vessels, when finished, willbe ableto destroy all the ahips of our navy nowafloat. They are by far the largest ves-sels ever launched in American waters.The Cramps have the honor of havinglaunched the four largest ships everfloated in the western hemisphere,namely, the Indiana, Masaachnsstts,New York and Columbia. To thesethey willshortly add five steamers forthe American line, of 10,000 to 13,000tonß each, nnd three more war shipsof the largest size, the lowa, Brook-lyn and Minneapolis. This willmake twelve veseelß from thisone yard, each larger than anylaunched up to thie time anywhere etaein the new world. The smallest of the12 is the Columbia, of 7350 tons. Thelargest ship thus far launched in Amer-ica outaide of the Cramps' yard is theMaine, of 6648 tons, at the Brooklynnavy yard, nnd the next largest is theTexas, at tiSOO tons, at Norfolk. Butwhen the Union Iron works launch theOregon, of 10,200 tors, they will havoone ship afloat that will rank with thegreatest sent out by tho Philaejilphianß.
As soon as the reconstruction of theAmerican fleet waa fairly under wayour nftval designers began to showernovelties upon the world. Our gunsare now the fineat in existence, we havedeveloped the newest wrinkles in range-finders and torpedoes, and tbe Britiehnavy is to be protected wiah armor con-structed by an American procesß. Thelaat enngrooa wo. not very venerone inits provision ior new atura, but the n, lrdepartment succeeded in producingsome novelties, regardless of ita limitedopportunitieß.
Three gunboats, of 1200 tons ench,were authorized at the laat ae-'sion.Two of these are to be constructed onthe composite plan? tne first departurefrom the all-steel rule Bince the work ofrebuilding our navy began?and the en-gines of theae two composite vessels areto be the first of the kind in the world.A warship haa poculiar requirements ivthe matter of engine power. It needshigh speed at rsre intervale, and therest of the time it needs machinery thatwill jog along economically at a moder-ate gait. Ithae been found heretoforethat the engines of great power havenot been economical at ordinary epeede.The bureau of engineering has set itselfto produce something that will, and itthinks it has succeeded.
SEVENTH STREET.An Informal Discussion of the Linns

An informal discussion of the land onSeventh streat between Broadway andSpring which is jointly claimed by Mr.Jnckeon and the city, took place yester-day afternoon in the city attorney'soffice. Councillors Munson, Innes,Rhodes and Nichols, City AttorneyDunn, City Engineer Doc_weiler, Mr.Jackson and Captain Moore were pres-ent, aud Mayor Rowan aleo dropped intowards the end.
No definite marks could be decidedupon from which to run the lines. Cap-tain Moore, although the oldest personpresent acquainted with the lines andmarking atonea could not exactly re-member just where tho inebriated Indi-ans had dropped them ac tbe city engi-neer so graphically recounted the pre-vious day, and it wae decided to inter-view Mr. Hanson and find if poaaiblohe conid give any infoimation whichwould throw light upon tne subject.Juet what information Mr. Hanaoh wasable to convey could not be learned lastnight.

THE FORD'S THEATER VICTIMS,Second Day's Session of the
Coroner's Jury.
More Clerks Testify as to the Inse-curity of the Building.
\Colonel Ainsworth Not Present?He Files
a Petition for a Mandsuisi-AnExamination ofOther Pub-
lic Buildings Begun.
By tho Associated Press.Washington, June 13.?By direction
of the commissioner for the District ofColumbia, the inquest over the victimsof the theater disaster continued pub-licly in Willard'a hall. Clerks and oth-ers crowded, nearly every part of thehall. To prevent a repetition of thetrouble of.yesterday, a squad of policeattended. Neither Colonel Ainsworthnor hie attorney appeared.
Ernest Bsler, a record and pensiondivieion clerk, told of his fear tbat thebuilding would fall during excavation.He gave the firßt testimony concerningthe existence of the alleged petition toColonel Ainsworth, asking that theclerks be furloughed during the progressof the work in tbe basement. He saidhe understood such a petition wasdrafted, but the clerks refused to sign itbecauee they feared the consequences.
Clerk Edwards said he went into thecellar while excavation was going onand saw no underpinning.
Testimony that clerks were directedto walk carefully on the Btairway wasgiven by Harry Brandon,
Frank Randolph Baid feeling towardthe heads of the bureau was not cordial,and especially toward Chief Clerk JacobFruch, who treated the men as dogs andnot as men.
COLONEL AINSWORTH'B PETITION.In the district supreme court a peti-
tion was filed by Colonel Ainsworth,giving in detail the statement of thecondition of the building and his par-ticipation in the work. He repeats atgreat length his former statements madeby him as to his knowledge of the condi-tion of the building, etc. He repeats hieexperience at the inquest yeeterday, andasks that the deputy coroner be com-manded to permit him to bo presentwith counsel and adopt bucli measureßas are necessary to protect his life,whichhas been threatened.
District Attorney Burney filed a de-murrer, claiming that Ainsworth's peti-tion did not set forth any matter thatentitlnd him to a mandamus. ColonelAinsworth has not been accused, saidBurney, save by the newspapers. Therehas been no charge, warrant or arrest.

A Pb.CUL.IiIK
Prevalent Among: Cnttle ln San Bernar-dino Connty.
Dr. Davidson, the woh known veteri-narian of this city, reports a strangecomplaint prevalent among the cattle ofthis region. Itis a dieeaee of the bone,beat likened to ray fungus, which startsineide the bone and comaumes it untilonly a thin shell is left. It generallystarts iv the bones of the left shoulder,gradually reaches other portions of thebody, and invariably terminates indeath, generally in from three to fivemouths. It is as falsi as glanders, andsupposed to be as contagious. It some-times attacks the flesh, but not fre-quently. The horse it also liable to thestrange malady, but few cases have beenreported co far. It generally attackscattle pastured on heavy dark loam.
Last Sunday seven cattle belonging toCal Patton, which were suffering fromthe peculiar complaint, had to be killed,and other cases are reported. Dr.Davidson ia making a study of the die-ease and sent some of the bones ofanimals that died from the disease toLos Angeles for microscopical examina-tion.
The disease has excited a great dealof iitereat among stock-owners andcattlemen. It is something new tothem, and they are at sea as to the beatmethod of guarding againet it..?["SanBernardino Times Index June Sth.

A TERRIBLE TEMBLOR.I It Ii Ob the Bills With an October
Date.The San Franciaco Chronicle of Mon-
day says: An eclipse of the sun whichwillaffect this country to a considerableextent has been arranged for October9th at 8:13 in the evening.
The astronomical phenomenon willbevisible on the western coast of SouthAmerica, Mexico and some portions ofCanada, but it will not be necessary tolight the gas in this city on account ofthe eclipse, as it is generally lighted attbat hour.
Immediately after the sun has beendoused a large and energetic earthquakeis billed to entertain the inhabitants ofthe western hemisphere. According toFrank Neidl it willbe a 100-100.
Mr. Neidl is a- modest professor ofastro-meteorology and astrology in thiscity. When weary of studying astralbodies and predicting things he inventssomething nsefnl. One favorite brandof smokeless powder has been attrib-uted to him, and he is now engaged intrying to invent a noiseless cobble-stonefor uee in large cities.
Astralogy, however, is Mr. Neidl'sgreat hobby. By looking tt the starsand then referring to an almanac, im-ported at great expense from Europe, hecan tell things tbat other people neverdreamed of. Still he gets nothing for it.He does other people's predicting forthem simply because he likea the work.
The eclipse, with tbe earthquake onthe aide, which he has arranged to comeoff thia fall, is going to be well worthseeing. If not too tired Mr. Neidl willremain up himself to observe tbe phe-nomena. Immediately after the eclipsethe earth willbegin to shiver likea moldof calves' foot jelly, and also split openin places.
Large islands that have long brokenthe monotony of tho Pacific's waterywasteß will be ewallowed up, but newones are expected in other places.Gigantic tidal waves created by the up-heaval willbreak chunks off the edge ofthe United States and carry them out tosea, never to be seen or heard of again.
People living along the coast shouldtake timely warning and move back intothe interior counties before October 9,1893. Of course ftreat losb of life willattend tbe disturbance, but there is nofear of the earth being entirely de-stroyed. Mr. Neidl Bays himself thatnature can never entirely exterminateherself.
No matter how great the shock, therewould still remain a few ragged edges ofthe earth to which those fortunateenough to be in the vicinity could clinguntil rescued. During Mr." Neid'ls seis-mic disturbance the shocks will bealarmingly frequent, but he is preparedfor the worst.

Tho Occidental Mine.Anda Sauser recently shipped a car-
load of ore to San Francisco from theOccidental mine in Aqua Caliente dis-trict says tbe BakereUeld Oalifornian,and obtained a yield of over 200 ouncesin silver and $60 in gold per ton.
Three tons of the same ore were re-cently worked at the Rogers mill and!the resnltß were very satisfactory. Itwas found that by crushing in a Hunt-ington mill and concentrating, over 90per cent of the value waa saved.
Two shafts 45 feet apart have beensunk each 20 feet and from tbe bottomdrifts are being run to connect, co farin pay. The pay vein averages about18 inches and altogether the indica-tions are very flattering.
Mr. Sausa has recently sold the mineto San FVancisco parties, who proposeto develope it extensively and willprobably soon erect a mill.
Chris Moore is working on an ex-tension of the same vein, which he isopening with shafts and tunnels, thuafar making an equally good showingwith the Occidental.
