followers in the stock fight. The Stock

regarding the bonanza mines made
last April, and in the next column
prints his present views, and contrasts
the two in an editorial, in which it at

with the recent depression in the mar

their late efforts to break the market.
The Chronicle this morning prints a
two column interview with Jas. II.
Keene, in which that great Bear of the
bonanZas admits, in effect, that bis
previously expressed opinion concern
| ing the played out condition of those
mines was all nonsense, and the result
| of a want OF understanding of the true
| condition of affairs. He says that the
California mine is just as good to day
as it was a year ago; the ore developed
since the report of the experts last year
has been sufficient to offset that which
has been taken out. Con. Virginia, he
thought, could pay dividends for a
long time hence, and that the recent
depression was the result OF initiation
of values, sure to be followed by a cor
responding depression. He also gives a
very encouraging accoun ofthe Mex
lean. where he says a good body OF ore
is being developed, and speaks favor
ably of the prospects in Ophir. He
says Savage is all right. The whole
force of the mine will be changed. The
new pump will be in order by the 5th
or 10th Of next month.

THE NEW YORK TIMES ON GRANT
AND WILSON.

The Times being the leading Radical
paper of the country, can not well be
accused of m~isrepresenting the effect
of Bluford Wilson's testimony. Com
menting on the same, it frankly says:
"The testimony of Wilson is painful
reading. Either he tells the truth or
he does not. If he does, it is evident
that the President allowed his per-
sonal regard for his secretary, Babcock,
to betray him into a line of conduct
exceedingly uniting his high posi-
ton. His disclosure to Babcock of the
line of evidence against him, when he
was on trial, together with his blum
dering circular letter to the District At
torneys, and the manner it became Wis
ible-viz: through Babcock's counsel,
show the President defending a worth
less friend at the expense of the public.
To regard Wilson as not telling the
truth, we would be compelled to be-
lieve that a public officer of his stand
Ing, honor and able record, had con-
cocted an ingenious mass of falsehood
to avenge himself for slight put upon
him by a superior officer. The alter
native is not one that can be readily
adopted. Wilson himself explicitly
absolves the President from any con-
sciously bad motive in his action. In
this he is undoubtedly just. One OF
the most remarkable things in Grants
career is the freedom from suspicion
Of dishonor which he has enjoyed,
while SO many, whom he had trusted
and who have had much influence
with him. have been not only sus-
pected, but proven to be unworthy of
confidence. This raises another ques-
ton, which is: How is it that a mar
Of such strong native honesty, and
such conceded good sense in many di-
rections as the President is, has Stun
bled into a series Of actions which
cause his best friends to blush with
modification and make his enemies
gleeful?' A partial answer to this
question is found In the intimacy of
his bestladvisers and the reckless au.
dacity of his worst"

THE ACaUrrrAL OF BELKNAP.

The telegraph brings news Of the ac-
quittal of ex-Secretary Belknap. This
result was foreshadowed some days
ago. There was no pretense that he
was not guilty, but s~ingularly enough
a number Of Senators voted in the neg
alive on the very fimsy pretext OF a
want Of Jurisdiction. Booth and Sar-
gent, Of California, voted "Guilty,"
and Jones, OF Nevada, Not Guilty.
Following is the full vote: Upon the
FIRST article Of Impeachment IS Senators
voted guilty, and Is not guilty-for
want Of jurisdiction. Those who voted
guilty were: Bayard, Booth, Cameron
of Pennsylvania, Cockerill, Cooper,
Davis, Dawes, Dennis, Edmunds, Cor
don, Hamilton, Harvey, Hitchcock,
Kelley. Herman, Key, McCreery, Nc
Donald, Norman, Mitchell, Morrill,,
Norwood, oglesby, Randolph, Ran.
son., Robertson, Sargent, Salisbury,
Sherman, Stephenson, Thurman, Wad-
leigh, Wallace, Whyte and Withers.
Those voting in the negative were
Anthony, Boutwell,, Bruce, Cameron
OF Wisconsin, Allison, C~hristiancy,
Conkling, Conover, Cragin, Dorsey,
Eaton, Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Hamlin,
Howe, Ingalls,, Jones of Nevada, Lo-
gan, Mcmillan, Paddock, Patterson,
Spencer, West, Window, and Wright.
Jones Of Florida declined to vote, on
the ground that the Senate had no jur-
isdiotion.
The presiding office announced that
two.thirds had not voted guilty, and
that, therefore, the respondent was ac-
quilted of the charges in the first arti-
Gle.
On the second article SO Senators
voted guilty and % not guilty.
Marcy, who did not answer on the
first roll. call, voted guilty on the Sec
ond article. Those Senators who voted
not guilty repeated their reason for do
ing so. viz: want of jurisdiction.
Belknap was therefore acquitted on
that article also, and by the same vote
on the remaining articles, and thus
ended the farce. 1t will be
seen that all OF those, with one
exception, voting for acquittal are
members of the dominant party. But
this decision does not IL any material
figure In the case. The country has
passed on Belknap's guilt and he is
now dead beyond resurrection.

WILL AccErr.-f is generally I'M
derstood by his friends in this part of
the State that Hon. Thomas Wren, of
Eureka, will accept, if rendered him,
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress. While it is true that the pro-
prietors of the SENTINEL are opposed
politically to Mr.. Wren, candor COM
pels them to bear testimony to his
sterling worth both as a nan and a
citizen. He enjoys an enviable repu-
tation as a lawyer, has had considera-
BILE parliamentary experience, and be-
ing thoroughly familiar with the wants
of the State, would, if..elected, make a
first class Representative in Congress-
Geography, and all things else being
favorable, we say frankly to the Re.
publicans that they can not do better
than to give the nomination to the
gentleman from Eureka. We admit
that we have no especial right to put
in our oar, but inasmuch as Mr.. Wren
is a respected and honored citizen o.
the Great East, we have felt justified
in saying this much in his behalf.

PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES
FROM
a Smallpox Pamfc-The Health
Office Suspends.

Office S~usIends.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.
The scene at the Health Office this
morning reminded observers of the
panic on California street when the
Bank of California suspended, except
in the composition of the attendant
throng. The rooms devoted to the
business of the office were packed
with screaming children, tired and
cross women and impatient men. The
crowd stopped over on the sidewalks
and street, rendering access to the
building difficult. The parallel might
be continued further, as about noon
the office suspended operations, The
run on the establishment having ex-
hausted the supply of virus on hand.
Upon notice being given to that effect,
the disappointed applicants after dis
cussing the matter in groups for a
while gradually dispersed. The rush
to-day exceeded all previous occa
sions.
The United States Government
seems to have caught the infection OF
alarm, as the Postmaster this morning
addressed a communication tO the
Health Officer declining to deliver any
more letters at the Health Office on ac-
count of exposing the carriers to the
c%ontagion. Seventeen cases and three
deaths were reported yesterday, and
seven cases and three deaths this
morning.
A panic on a Bush street al this
morning was accustomed by the en-
trance of a woman broken out with a
irst-class case of smallpox, on her
way to obtain admission to the pest
house. The passengers with ready
sympathy granted her the exclusive
use of the car.
Barmodis, the quack who reported
a case of smallpox as scarlet fever,
was to-day sentenced to pay a fine of
$500, or $3.50 days in the County Jail.
Failing to furnish the money he was
locked up.

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
Gen. Henderson said:

The Democratic House appointed thirty-four in
vestigating committees to see II they couldn't scent
up some corruption in Republican management,
and then tried to make little party capital by
cutting down appropriations for needed and i'm
pOrtant public works.
Gen. Henderson knows that no investi-
eating committees, as such, were ap-
pointed, but That each regular standing
committee of the house was authorized to
investigate any abuses it might find in the
proper discharge of its duties and coming
within its legitimate sphere, and report
the same to the house. These committees
found many cases of fraud on the part OF
Republicans, from Belknap down, and ex.
posed rascalities enough to sink a nation
In relation to extravagant and unneceS
sary appropriations, the estimates made by
the Republican heads of departments fol-
the current year amounted TO $203, 099.
O25. The Democratic House allowed
them only $l3S, 1872 $40, but the Senate
increased it to $l5S. 26O,59S. This sun
was reduced by the House to S147, 1904
which was the amount of the appropria
tons actually made The House thus re
duced the appropriations 500, 1894 253 he
low those of last year, and $55, 379. 95l be
low the estimates for this year. The re
duction would have been 100000
greater if it had not been for the obstinac,
