The " Herald" on Simonton.

The New York Herald is a member
of the Associated Press and its admis-
sion of the superiority of the Ameri-
can Press Association as a news gath
erer over the old management is i'm
pliedly set forth in an editorial di-
rected at j. M. SIMoNToN, agent of
the Associated Press. The Herald
has grown weary of seeing the, ,Ameri-
can Press Association constantly in
advance of itself in furnishing news,
and it manifests it's displeasure by no
tifying Mr.. SIMoNToN that his nu-
merous letters in which he INDUCES
in what he calls exposing the "shame-
less fabricationsn of the American
Press Association are but advertise
ments for the rival news establish
ment, and will, if longer INDUCED in,
so popularize the American Press AS
forced to incur the additional expense
of buying its news as well as that fur
nished by SIMoNToN and his agents.
The Herald says "SIMoNToN must
keenly feel the fact that the Associated
Press has not been as well served in it's
foreign news as the American Press
Association. Take this extraordinary
religious controversy in England be-
tween Mr.. GLADSTONE and Arch
bishop MANNING that bids fair to be
the most important event in the re-
ligious history of England since the
quarrel between HENRY VIII and the
Pope. The American Press Associa-
tion sent prompt and comprehensive
dispatches about it. Then the Herald
correspondent sent three columns by
cable, which we printed on Sunday.
But not one word from the Associated
Press agent, who seems to think we
keep him in London to tell us about
the movements of the Prince of
Wales, and who ignores events of
world-like importance. Now, if Mr..
SIMoNToN had been in London he
would have sent us this news, and
would thus have beaten the American
Press Association Clearly the Her
aid is not satisfied that the old mo-
nopoly is monopolizing the news. On
the contrary it appears to have q real
izing sense that the American Press
Association is really the most desira-
BILE medium through which to obtain
the latest news.

SAN FRANCISCO, November S0th.-
A woman named Mary Coats died
suddenly yesterday at the corner of
Main and Harrison streets. Her body
was removed to the Morgue. Her
face bore marks of ill usage.
Jennie White, school teacher of
San Pablo, was run over Saturday on
SacrmentO street, and died yesterday
of her injuries.
At the lodging house, No. SIS Sacra-
mento street, this morning about four
O'Clock, James f.. Paddock attempted
to assassinate his roommate, Patrick
Harrington. Paddock came to the
room late last night with disreputa-
bic girl, and wished Harrington to
vacate the room. He refused, and
Paddock went away. Afterwards he
came back stealthily and fired four
shots at Harrington, who was asleep.
Paddock was drunk. The shots failed.
A policeman found Paddock in an ad-
joining room reloading his pistol, and
arrested him after slight resistance,
vowing that he would kill Harrington.
Paddock will be examined on the
charge of assault to murder.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 1st.-A
rumor is current that M. S. Latham is
to retire from the management of the
London and San Francisco Bank. The
reasons assigned are that the unsatis-
factory results of the California Pacific
Railrad scheme and the failure of IL.
E. Morgan's Sons have brought about
an inharmonious feeling between Mr..
Latham and the home management.

THE readers Of the HERALD were
informed early in the campaign that
the main effort Of the ring would be to
defeat the peoples candidate, Mr..
BEAUDRY. They, of course, have
their candidates for Councilmen, but
they expect to elect them by electing
either Mr.. TIFFANY or Mr.. SABICHI.
Mr.. BEAUDRY is the objective point
against which is leveled all their
heavy guns. They had rather defeat
him, and through him the people,
than attain any other point of the
campaign. AS proof of this we may
mention that few days ago gentle
man took q communication to the E.r-
press rejecting on another candidate,
which he asked to have printed. He
was told by the Express managers
that his request could not be complied
with; that it was the sole business of
their paper to fight Mr. BEAUDRY;
that he was the man they were labor
ing to defeat, and that they could not
afford to turn their attention from
him to any other man. The defeat of
Mr.. BEAUDRY is probably the contin-
gency on which the Express is to re-
ceive a part of the pay for the dirty
work in which it is now engaged.

Priests in Arizona.

r. A. Wilbur, agent of the Papago
Indians, OF Arizona in a long commu-
nication to the Commissioners of In
dian Affairs complains that Catholic
priests are attempting to establish q
hierarchy among those Indians and
seek to reduce them to State of vas
salage; that they have declared war
against the public school system, and
are in every way expressing and i'm
posing upon the Indians. The agent
particularly explains that these priests
are not Americans but Mexicans, and
they differ entirely from their Ameri-
can brethren.

Mineral Wealth of Southern California.

The mineral resources of Southern
California are much greater than is
generally supposed, and the present
rapid development is but the COM
mencement of q new era in the pros
perity of our mines. In no part of
the country is there SO much and so
varied an amount of minerals and
mineral wealth. The recent develop
ments at Panamint prove that those
mines are immensely rich and will
add greatly to the prosperity of South
ern California; but the range of noun
tains lying north and east of Los An
geles is probably the richest mineral
range in Southern California. Ex-

There are few bearing orange and lime
trees upon the Centinela, ana the fruit they
produce is of the largest and finest quality
trees three years old, and LEO almond, lime
and lemon trees. The almond, lime and

sery near the orchard. Fig, pepper and gum
trees grow without irrigation. The entire or
chard can be taken care of by three men with
six hoIses. The orchard Will be kept undi-
vided by the company to save the expense of
each shareholder having II few trees to take
care Of Each share will entitle the owner to
about ID trees in the orchard and about the
same number in the nursery. The almond,
lime and lemon trees will yield an iIs medi-
ate return. In five years each orange tree will
produce $50 per annum, or $500 per share for
those now planted. There are flowers in the
garden in bloom every day in the year.

THE Express is following out the
ring programme, which is to drive
SABICHTs supporters into the TIF-
FANY ranks. In its issue of Monday
evening the little organ says of SABI-
CHI, that "he is not bright nor over
burdened with scruples." This is q
polite way of calling n man fool aud
a knave. Mr.. SABICHI's friends may
not agree with this verdict of the ring

that any respectable lawyer could or

third, and there Was improvements in the ac-

starting point that the water there was growing
smoother hourly, and the prospects for a start
were good.
At 6:lO o'clock the first gun was fired at the
foot OF the lake, which was greeted with cheers
by the immense crowd. At $40 second gun
was fred, and In minutes more a third discharge
was he ird.
At 7:i2 fourth gun was heard, which, it was
thought. was the signal for taking POSITIONS
From that time till $3.50 nothing Was seen or
heard from the starting point which indicated
that the race would take place. 1t then became
30 dark that it was evident another postpone
ment had taken place, which was fact W.rd
was brought that the race would be renewed

was rather vague. The crowd then Deliberately
and in the greatest good humor, amid singing
by the C6llegians and others, dispersed The

Proving Gatling Guns.

An inspection and test of the first install.
ment of twenty-five Gatling guns for the
navy was in progress at Colts Factory, Hart
ford, on Friday, under the supervision Of
Lieutenant Commander Person The Times
says: "One thousand rounds were fired from
each gun, making twenty-five thousand
rounds. The proving was of a severe and
thorough character. These guns are of the
new and improved model. Orders for them
have been received for China and Japan,
and the works are run night and day to
get off the Chinese contract by the 9th.
TO illustrate the capacity of the Gatling gun
for long continued and rapid firing, we may
mention the fact that it has been tested at Fort
Madison Annapolis, by firing sixty-five thou
sand rounds at the rate Of four hundred a
minute, from the same gun, without stopping
to clean the gun! DR.. Gatling was present
and witnessing this unequaled result, was in
terested in the discovery of what seemed to
be almost new discovery in gunnery. 1t
was found that up to the four thousandth
round the gun kept fouling, but after that it
began to clean itself; and after the sixty-four
thousandth round was fred the barrels were
found to be as clean and bright inside as they
were when they were first polished"
