PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES.

N
A Scene ON Montgomery street
Circus Animals Attack their
Keeper Murder Of q Wealthy
Chinaman.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 80.
A tragedy was very near occurring
during the street parade of Mont
gomery Queens circus to-day. When
the open cage containing a lion, lioness
and tiger, in which the keeper was
seated, was passing the Nevada Block,
the lion and tiger attacked each other.
The keeper sprang forward to separate
them when the lion seized him by the
thigh with its teath, INJECTING a wound
from which the blood flowed freely.
The keeper beat off the animal with
an iron bar, at the same time bidding
the excited crowd that rushed to the
scene to keep at a distance. There was
great excitement Tor a few moments
and the keepers position was most
perilous, but he showed great nerve
and soon reduced his charges to SUBJ
mission.
Wong Hong, a wealthy and respecta-
BILE Chinaman, was cut to pieces by one
Of his countrymen on the corner of
Dupont and Jackson streets last night.
His assailant attacked him with two
huge Chinese knives, splitting his
skull in two places and II filcting nu-

merous other wounds. The cause of
the trouble is unknown, Wong Hong
being a quiet and reputable man. He
cannot survive his injuries.
A row occurred in the Chinese thea
ter Yesterday afternoon in which some
dozen shots were fired, one man re-
ceiving probably a fatal wound.

disguise. After the murder the assas-
sins set the cabin on fire, consuming
everything. Morand left the city sur
reptitiousiy the following morning
after the tragedy, and up to the time
of his arrest had been skulking about
the State. seeking to elude capture. He

FINANCES.

The joint statement OF the Auditor
and Treasurer for the quarter ending
March 81, 1877, will he found in the
advertising columns of to-day's SEN
TINEL. 1t will be observed that the
county's finances are in a most
healthy and satisfactory condi-
ton. Our total Indebtedness,
including outstanding bonds, is
$40, 1914 so. AS against this we have
cash in the treasury to the OF
S3O,526 %, leaving a total net debt of
but $9,66S 81. OF course there is a
considerable proportion of the moneys
on hand which is not applicable to the
payment of allowances hitherto made
agalnsts the respective funds, but the
above figures furnish a correct esti-
mate of our liabilities.
Two years ago the debt OF the coun-
ty approximated $50, 900. which large
sum, through the superior manage
ment of our local authorities, has been
gradually but surely whitfield down,
until to-day it falls below $4,000! A
better showing than this could hardly
have been anticipated by the most
sanguine we'll wisher for the county's
welfare. Each and all of our
county officers have aided ma
terially in the contamination of
this very gratifying state Of affairs, but
to Commissioner Horn and his col
eagues are the thanks of the commune
ty especially due. With a continuance
of the same commendable economy,
and Of this there can be 10 doubt, Eu.
rekaa county with the expiration of the
present fiscal year will not owe a dol
lar to any mortal under the sun.

UNITED STATES MINING LAWS.

The Mining and Scientific Press, in
response to an inquiry Of a CORE.
spondent regarding changes in the
mining laws has the following we'll
timed remarks:
There are frequently decisions of the
Commissioners of the General Land
O.hce concerning questions relatin < to
the mining laws. Decisions are also
given ty the Secretary of the Interior,
either confirming or reversing those
rendered by the Commissioner. These
decisions are considered merely ex-
planatory OF the existing laws; that
is the Interpretation given them 10y
the officials before whom conflicting
rights are settled. Neither the Com
missioner of the Land Office nor the
Secretary of the Interior have any
power to change the laws passed by
Congress any more than a private cit
izen would have. The laws them
selves, like most laws, are capable Of so
many interpretations that he decisions
Of the officials referred to sometimes
seem like changes of the laws. I'M
portant changes of practice are some
times made, but no real changes in the
law itself except by act of Congress.
The Press is eminently correct.
Those Federal office holders at Wash
ington have no more &c do with
determining the law in cases OF
conflict than the man in the
moon. All questions of dispute
and contest are left under the law
with the courts for determine
ton. 1t is the rankest impertinence
for the Commissioner of the Land
Office to pretend to exercise judicial
functions. His opinion is worth no
more than anybody e%lse's, and ii is
absolutely without authority in inter-
preting the law Of any given case.
We are glad to know that Congress.
man Wren will devote his attention, at
the earliest moment, to an overhauling
of the United States mining laws. The
subject deserves to be treated by a
practical hand. The whole system
should be r~enodeled and the process
of obtaining pateuts simplitied and
cheapened. Above all, there should
be an end to those worthless, mysti-
tying opkions from Washington. Mr..
Wren possesses a most thorough
knowledge of the wants of a mining
community, and we feel assured that
the whole mineral land patent bust
ness will be greatly benefited by his
wide experience.
