The Hon DE LoNa JAPs NOT Con-
fSG HERE.-Postmaster D. o. Addison
Of Virginia City, this morning received
a telegram from Hon. c. E. De Long,
stating that owing to the snow block
ade OIL the Union Pacific Railroad be-
ing raised, or said to be so, enabling
trains to make their way through, the
Japanese Embassy will not visit Vir-
ginia and Gold Hill at all, but will
hasten directly onward to the East
while they have a chance to get
through, Mr.. De Long and his family
accompanying them. They are all
now at Sacramento, and yesterday
they visited the Legislature, and dined
with the members, State officials, in
vited guests, ETC., ut the Orleans Hotel
In the evening. They will probably
start for the East this afternoon or to-
morrow. We rather grieve to make
this announcement, as we had antici-
pated considerable pleasure and graft
flcation In cruising about with old Iva
kura, and the other high Japs, show
ing them the Bullion mine, Sutro Tuil-
mel. Pinschower's water works, Cedar
Hill, Six-Mile Canyon, tho Comstock
groupings aud other local objects Of in
teres., to say nothing Of Fort Home
stead and other things right here In
Gold Hill. They lose a good deal by
not coming here, besides the flue
chance to spend money, Of which they
have plenty, and are said to sling 1t
about right loosely. Alas! Sic transit
gloria Japs.
NEW CAPrArN OF THE GUARD.-H
C. Gilchrist, for the past four years
Captain OF the Guard at the California
State Prison, has been appointed to
and accepted a similar position Mt the
Nevada State Prison, vice Volney E.
Rollins resigned. The Carson Register
says: Captain Gilchrist is ono OF tho
oldest, most astute and active detec-
tiyes on the Pacific Coast, having becn
engaged In that business from 1919 un-
til Governor Haight went Into office,
when he assumed the responsible du-
ties Of Captain Of the Guard ut San
Quentin, which position he filled with
marked fidelity and ability, having
charge Of A guards and 925 prisoners
when the political ax Topped off his
official head. He Is the right mar In
the right place, for his travels In Brit
ish Columbia, Washington, Montana
aud Idaho Territories, California, Ore.
gon and Nevada, have rendered him
familiar with the personal history,
rendezvous and face Of nearly every
old offender on the coast. Captain
Rollins, the retiring officer, has been
faithful and efficient, and has made
many warm friends at the Capital by
his firmuess, urbanity and gentleman
" department. He resigned for the
purpose of returning to Humboldt
county, having real estate and mining
interest at Oreana which require his
personal attention. Success attend
him wherever he may SO!
GHosrLY AssEMBLAGE.-Tho Carson
Register Of this morning says: The
ghostly soiree Of the Adclphi Club, ut
Moore & Parker's Hall this evening,
will be a CHASTITY novelty. No mask
can DO more hideous than that Of a
common pillow-case drawn over the
head and shoulders, with holes cut In
front for the mouth and eyes, and the
two corners tied up so rs to represent
horns OH the head, and no costume Is
more ghostly than that Of a white
sheet wrapped about one from head to
foot. During tho masquerade no lady
or gentleman will be allowed to par.
ticipats in the dance unless attired rs
above described, but the Invited who
do not wish to disguise thus may look
OH until the masks are discarded and
then join In the dance. Dancing Will
commence ut $3.50 p. NJ. promptly
masks will be worn until 10 or III
o'clock, and the music will DO dismiss
ed at II o'clock sharp.
U. S. LAND OFsIcE.-The Carson
R.g,ste, of this morning, says The
appointment of Judge Adolphus Waltz
to the Office of Register Of the United
States Land Onlce In this city, was
confirmed BY the Senate about two
weeks since, and that gentleman will
enter upon the discharge Of the duties
Of the office as SOON as his bonds arc
approved and his commission received.
The business Of the Land Office In this
city has been virtually suspended for
q month past, owing to the absence oil
the late Register, and circumstances
tend to confirm rumors which preclude
hope Of his return, and consequently
the oilice may be considered closed so
business until Judge Waltz shall have
been installed. The Grand Jury, which
will probably be called in the Us 5.
District Court next week, may make
some developments in tho matter Of
the office of the late Register.
wRoSa IMPREssIoS.-The idea sc
prevalent with some unposted people
that the great company of high official
Japs Mr.. Do Long has brought along
with him to this country arc all emf
rent jugglcrs, acrobats, sword-swai'
lowers and top-spinners, Is entirely CT
roneous. Most Of them carry two
swords, but seldom or never swallow
them, out Of regard to their jugulars
