while, but general relief was mani

The celebrated Geneva award in
favor of the United States has re-
ccived an offset in the award made
BY the "Fish Commission" against

had its origin in the complaints
made by Canada that the fishermen

upon the famous mackerel fisheries
of the coast of New Foundland.-
According to our treaty with that
country our citizens were not to fish
within three miles of the shore, but
there we're continuous complaints OF
violation of this contract, and sever
al times the two governments came
near an open rupture, To settle the
complication, a commission compo-
sed of three members, Sir A. I. Gait,
on the part Of Canada, Judge KEEL
logg, on the part of the United States,
and NJ. Delfosse, of Belgium, third
party, was appointed to arbitrate the
difficulty. This commission have
just made their award, giving Cana.

will proceed to pay.

must be, and that speedily, if the Rus

The Territorial Enterprise, the first

upon its ninteenth year. 1t made its
first appearance in 1859. when the

separation from Utah Territory of

THE TABLES TURNED.

Immediately after the inauguration
of Hayes last March the United States
Senate was convened in extra session
for the purpose of confirming the Cab
met of the new President. Several
Senators elect presented their creden-
tials, among them Governor Grover OF
Oregon. The excitement created by
the decision of the Electoral Commits
sion was then at it's hight. and rascally
Senators, not content with defrauding
the people by declaring minority
President elected, resolved to investi-
gate charges preferred against Grover
by the bigamist Mitchell, alias Hippell
At this time Sargent, who had pledged
himself not to be candidate for re-
election, concluded that he was the
only person in the State of California
qualified to run the Vallejo Navy Yard,
San Francisco Mint and Custom
House on reform principles. In let
ter from Washington he informed the
dear people that to serve them he was
willing to let his private interests suf-
fer, and would not object to being his
own successor in the Senate. To as
sist him in carrying the State Morton
was appointed Chairman of the Grover
investigating committee, and had his
expenses paid from the National Treas
ury. The committee met; witnesses.
supposed to have been hired for the
purpose, testified that Grover pur-
chased votes to elect him. This was
emphatically contradicted by unim-
peachable witnesses, and the commit.
tee, though composed of a majority OF
Republicans, exonerated Grover from
all charges of corruption. Now the
tables are turned on the Hippelites,
aud three or four of the witnesses who
swore falsely against Grover have been
indicted for perjury by the United
States Grand Jury at Portland. and
Sargent has been driven out of the
Senatorial arena in California by the
exposures of the San Franisco Chron-
icle.

FALsE.-There is report circu
lating to the effect that recent devel-
opmeuts have pointed out in an un-
mistakable manner the murderer of
Haagenson. A man recently closed
his place of business and left the
city, leaving several unpaid bills.
Some persons searched the deserted
premises and discovered what they
supposed were blood stains on some
bedding. A physician was called
and after q critical examination no
evidences of blood could be found.
The missing man has not been ar
rested in Victoria, as reported.
Acc1DENr.-This afternoon about
three o'clock as car loaded with
coal was being lowered on the Seat
tie Coal Company's incline, the
brake gave away and the car descend
ed with frightful velocity, the emp
ty car on the other end of the rope
going mp at a corresponding speed
and striking the drum, shivering
the car into splinters and breaking
the chain. The loaded car was also
destroyed. None of the workmen
were injured.

thought you land grabber, spy, or

very pleasant. If one could only
get any satisfaction for his trouble
it would not be SO bad. but in most
cases it is quite impossible. Speak
ing of land grabbers reminds me of
a point l wish to touch upon in re-
gard to the prevailing mania. Spec
ulators are what curse any country
wherever their lonthscme footsteps
have made an impression upon. the
soil. If, after grabbing all the land
they can get hold of, there is small
fraction of unoccupied land near
them that poor man with limited
means could locate upon and mako
himself and family comfortable
home, these land sharks will get
some saloon loafer to file upon and
prove up (they furnish means), and
then they buy his interest for tri-
fie. So it goes, the poor must pray
for and walk humbly in the eyes of
wealth.
The body of John Haslam, who
was drowned at Utsalady, has not
been recovered yet. and somebody
is to blame, for it seems passing
strange that Capt. Bcwden should
have taken his departure from the
scene of the accident without max
ing every effort to recover the body
of the mate. The drowned man, I
am creditabIy informed, was a part
owner in the Perry. Deceased has
no relatives here. People in Utsal-

The Secretary of the Interior has
approved the following interesting
and important instructions. to be is
sued by the Commissioner of the
! General Land Office, in addition to
those already authorized, relative to
proceedings to be taken under tie
suspension and investigation of de-
sert land entries: Under the Act of
last March, where the residence of
the person in whose name. said en-
tries were made is known or can be
readily ascertained, notire in writing
of the suspension and of the time
when q hearing win take place may
be served through the mail; in cases
where the residence or whereabouts
of the applicants is unknown and
unascertainable, notice of said hear
ing should be given in a newspaper
published in the county where the
land is situated, for four successive
weeks, notifying said applicants that
their entries have been suspended,
and requiring them to show cause
on day named why the same should
not be cancelled. At the hearing
inquiry should be made of the ap-
plicant, who must appear in person,
where his present residence is, how
long he has resided there; whether
he knows from personal observation
anything about the character of the
tract entered before making the en-
try; if so, over how long a period
his knowledge extended; whether
he paid the first instalment required
to be made at the time of making
said entry, or whether the money so
paid was advanced by other parties.
and if so. by whom; whether he has
assigned, mortgaged, or agreed to
assign, convey or mortgage his in
terest, present or future, in the tract
or tracts SO entered, and if so, to
whom, when, and upon what con-
sideration: If such conveyance has
been made by the applicant, thepr
duction of tho original instrument
or certified copy thereof should be
required to be made part of the tes-
timony. In case tho testimony of
each wituess should be taken by
question and answer, a direct an
swer should be elected to all ques-
tions propounded to him pertaining
to the particular case. The testi.
mony must be reduced to writing
and signed by the witness; and if
there is reason to believe the testi-
mony given under oath is not true,
the fact should be reported to the
Land Office in Washington. In ad-
dition to the above, such other tes-
timony as may be ob!ainable in re-
lation to the sale of each tract en-
tered, and as to what amount if any
of timber is growing thereon, should
be adduced. The whole should be
enclosed to the General Land Office
for final action. Copies of the fore
going instructions have been mailed
to all the principal land Offices, and
duplicates will be sent to all other
districts embracing desert lands.

At the Episcopal Congress,
which last month held it's ses-
sion in New York, much inter-
est was taken in the address of
Rev. Hugh Miller Thompson,
d. D., Of New Orleans, on the
church and society. Closing he
said there were two laws in nat
ural and social lifc-the written
law declaring what a man shall
not do, and the unwritten law
declaring not only what a man
must not do but also what he
must do under certain circum-
stances. The laws of a nation
become a code of morals to its
citizens. They have nothing to
do with the abstract right or
wrong of these laws, but must
submit to them. 1t happened
what was right under the laws
Of one nation was frequently
wrong according to those of an
other; thus Washington was a
hero in the eyes of his own
countrymen, while by another
great nation he was regarded as
a villanous rebel, and Benedict
Arnold, who was considered by
that nation as a loyal subject,
was looked upon by his country
men as traitor. A conflict of
these systems of law showed,
the speaker contended, that
there existed a necessity for
something unchangeably true

The following good practical remarks are
from Prof. Beal of the Michigan Agricultural
College, and the results of experience at that
institution.
For Towering ANIMALS nothing gives us
greater satisfaction than good strains OF petu-
MAS. The best way is to save seeds, and keep
saving every year, after getting started with
good colors. They thrive in our hot weather,
and give plenty of flowers constantly after
they begin, until frost comes. Of great value
also, are the several sorts of Phlox Drummon-
dii. No garden can afford TO be without them.
Pansies do well for fall and spring in cool
weather. Do not allow them to flower in hot
weather when the flowers will be small and
worthless, but pinch out the head, and then
the plants become strong for fall use. Pansies
thrive in cool damp weather. In our short
summers Zinnias are very satisfactory if good
sorts are used; snap-dragons also, and lark
spurs. Balsams do poorly on light soil in our
summers. Asters of many sorts do well but
are an uncertain flower on account of blister
beetles, which sometimes appear very sudden
ly in immense numbers, destroying bed in a
few hours, often before the insects are noticed.
Marigolds are snowy and easy to manage.
Place them towards the back Of garden.
Mignonette is good for bouquets and easily
raised.
