The feeling among the people is qui-

mandate of the Home Government and
the obligations of the protocol with the
United States, without further discus

commanding at Santiago de Cuba in the
absence of General Buriel, acting with
out authority, placed 92 Of the Virginius
prisoners aboard the Spanish man-of-
war Bazaine, and sent them to Cienfu-
gas. The few remaining prisoners were
either too ill to be received, or being
youths Of tender age, had been set at
liberty. The prisoners, while at Santa
go, were we'll treated, and in no way mo.

shocking Effects OF the Cold..-BlOOdy
Conflict, ETC., Etc.
EUREKA, New, Dec. 9.-Mrs. Goulette
was snow bound three days and nights
in the valley this side Of the thirty mile
Springs. Her teamster, who was moving
her to Cherry Creek, while wallowing
through the snow, slipped under the
wagon, crushing both feet, and they
were afterwards frozen. He was unable
to proceed further, and they camped.
Here they remained three days and
nights in the severest storm that ever
visited this section, with but little to eat
and no fire save what they kiddled from
small boxes and pieces of furniture from
the wagon. Under these trying circum-
stances Mrs. Goulette, bestriding one of
the horses, made for the 30-mile springs
After a hard struggle, lasting all day and
far into the night, she made the trip.
During all this time, the teamster, with
his feet mangled, was lying helpless and
alone by the roadside. The few blankets
thrown around him afforded but little
protection from the storm. As soon as
Mrs. Goulette reported at the springs,
men at once started out to rescue the un-
fortunate teamster, who was found still
alive and conveyed to the station.
There was sanguinary conAic. at the
Eureka Hotel, in this city last night, be-
tween j. W. Ellyson and man named
Charles Manly. Pistols and knives were
used, and both parties more or less in

ing Manly in the head. He in turn
stabbed his antagonist three or four
times with large butcher-knife. None
of the wounds appeared to be dan
gerous.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 9.-It rained here

OUR WEATHER.
at SHOWS, cries the schoolboy"
Ed. RECORD: "The Oldest inhabitant"
was more than surprised on the Sd; he
was astonished to see great fakes of
snow darkening the air and covering the
ground. And thus the snow continued
till night, when there was mixture Of
rain. On the next morning it rained
little and at intervals during the day rain
came down. During the night it rained
in torrents; 80 you will observe we've
been having some weather lately. jerome
Davis said it showed just about as much
-(the depth was six inches) during the
year 1S4S-49. 1t was God-send to the
farmers-with millions to the State at
large. The snow afforded great sport to
our citizens, especially those Of the
hoodlum persuasion. Snow-balling was
the order of the day. Small boys and
full-grown boys gathered on the corners
of the thoroughfare and pelted the bus,
hack, job or express wagon or even foot
men that had occasion to pass them
more especially if he were Chinaman.
1t was worse than running Cuban
blockade. Quite number of sleds and
sleighs were improvised and put on the
street with bells. The jingling ofthe bells
was the signal for the SNOWFALL brigade.
From fifty to one hundred snow-ballers
were prepared and when the sleighs came
opposite they opened fire, creating con-
sternation and rapid fight. Some of the
assailed became angry and showed fight,
but the odds were so heavy they soon
took to fight, being cooled off with
showers of snow. But this morning
shows the ground and house-tops free
from even the color OF snow. The air ID
soft, moist and very much the better for
the snow and rain.

THE CALIFORNIA sENATORsHIPS.

One week from next Tuesday the first
vote for United States Senators will be
cast. tits question which will be voted
for frst-the full term Senator or the
Senator for the remainder of Casserly's
term. Enthusiasts vehemently proclaim
that Gov. Booth is certain of his election
for the full term, but the frequency with
which this confidence in the result is pro-
claimed tends to raise doubts in our
mind about the matter, and leads us even
to doubt the sincerity of some who are
most prominent in the expression OF
their opinions. Should Booth fail In
this fight, he will have no one to blame
for it but his friends. When, after the
September election, it was found that the
three parties were nearly equally divided
in the Legislature, and that by combi-
nation of the Democratic and Independ-
emit elements, monopolies would be rem
dered harmless, it was clearly the part OF
good sense for the Independents to meet
them half way, form combination, and
so control the Legislature and elect an
anti-monopoly candidate to the United
States Senate. But the Independents
strangely felt certainty in the election
of their candidate, and seemed to rely
implicitly upon the assumption that q
majority Of the people favored the aspi-
rations of the Governor. After the or
ganization had been effected, it seems
that the Democratic members resolved
on o caucus whereat the interests of the
party might be discussed, and from all
we can gather from our California files
it seems likely that the Demo-
cratic members will, in the usual man.
ner, make q nomination for Senator for
the long term, and quietly wait for the
Independent or Republican members tc
come to them. The Democrats in that
manner will stand q reasonable chance
of securing the election of their candi
date. The Democratic caucus was helt
on Monday night, and We await will
much interest the result Of its delibera
tons. A caucus nomination by all tn
Democratic members secures the election
of Democratic Senator for the full
term, or effectually blocks the game, j
will destroy Booths chances this year.

WHAT CONSTITUTES MARRIAGE.-The
decision of Judge Myrick of San Fran
cisco, in the Titcomb case is interesting
and curious enough to warrant further
notice. The facts of the case were as fol.
lows: Elizabeth Titcomb applied for a
homestead out of the estate of Amos H.
Titcomb, deceased, claiming that she was
entitled to it as his widow. The credi-
tors Of the estate resisted the applica-
ton, alleging that the woman was not
the widow Of Titcomb, and had never
been married to him. 1t was shown by
the testimony of the applicant and others
that such was the fact, but that she and
Titcomb had lived together as man and
wife, and had been SO recognized for
twenty years prior to Titcomb's death.
Judge Myrick held that, under these cir
cumstances, she was legally the widow
Of the deceased, and entitled to the
homestead. In the following extract
from his opinion he expresses his views
on this question. "Under the Consti-
tuition of this State marriage is q civil
contract, and may be entered into by
parties as other contracts, without the
Intervention of ceremony by third
party. In the statute concerning mar
riage there is no provision that any
marriage not in conformity to the Act
should be void. Persons competent
to contract marriage may make that
contract between themselves. II man
and woman live together under con.
tract of marriage, not for lewdness, bu,
for honesty, and conduct themselves
honestly as man and wife, | think that
the law thro VS. around them and theil
offspring the shield of marriage and legit
macy, and the only risk that is taken is
the criticism which is invoked by com.
munity jealous to protect its purity

WALLACE AND THE SHORT TERM.-Sev-
eral daye ago John F. Swift, of San
Francisco, and Henry Edgerton called
upon Chief Justice Wallace and informed
him that the Independents would give
him the short term Senatorship; provided
Booth would be allotted the long term
but Judge Wallace, who has no other
than lofty aspirations, and withal jealous
Of his party's honor, declined the propo-
sition. He wants six years term or
none. 1t will be difficult, if not impos-
sible, to get O frst-class Democrat to
accept the short term.
