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.

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

for Its Widening.

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.

A REDLANDS MINISTER.

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.
