the country, as the knightly repre-

himself into the breach and
stamped the rising fanaticism out.
Many of the Workingmen are for

Germany is reported to have sent

The ImGuence of she Railway.

From Gen. George Stoneman,
late President of the Board of
Transportation Commissioners of
the State of California, we learn
that the railway influence at Sacra-
mento, during the late session of
the Legislature, was even more
sweeping than the railway COM
pany itself expected. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that the Demo-
cratic party, large as their MAORI
ty was, absolutely commanded the
situation from the railway stand
point. In the House there were
twenty-six Democratic Assembly,
men ranged infiexibly on the side
of the people. Twenty six
were disposed to make con-
cessions to the railway. Several
were not present at the final vote
who voted with the people at all
preliminary stages. OF twenty
four Republican Assemblymen,
twenty favored the railway and
four stood with the people-thus
showing an Infinitely larger per-
centage of Republican members
who were partial to the Messrs.
Stanford g. Co. than of Democratic.
OF the San Francisco delegation,
sixteen favored the railway to four
against. In the Senate one Repub-
lican Senator was found to antago-
nize the railway magnates to ten
who ranged themselves on their
side. On the other hand, the DEM
ocratic Senators were about equally
divided.
From this detailed Review of the
status of the two parties in
the Legislature, it will be
seen that the effort to make
Republican party capital out of the
defeat of the bill of the Commits
sioners of transportation, and the
passage of the Hart bill, would be
q hopeless one. There was but one
representative of tho Working.
mems party in the Legislature,
and he was one of the earliest of
the railway captives. The speech
of Dennis Kearney on the sand
lots, after his interview with Gov.
Stanford, shows that the "Lieuten-
ant-General" himself is not with
out suspicion of being vulnerable.
The last number of the San Fran
cisco Wasp has rather clever car

Inferno, He who enters here

trance. On a diligent inspection
of the situation, we fail to see that
any of the existing parties has
gained any special renown from its
collision with its railway oppo-
nents.

The More Murder Invesiig alton.
SAN BUNEA VENTURA, April s
In the More case to-day J. Shone
f. M. Meeks and Emil Harris,
Chief Of Police at Los Angeles
were called and sworn. The pre-
ceedings are kept secret under strict
orders from the Court, with O
threat of punishment. 1t has been
understood, however, before he was
called, that j. Shone was Informed
by Lloyd, one of the prisoners,
that his (Lloyd's) gun took part il
tho More murder. Ia reply to 9
question as to how he knew, he
said the gun had been taken from
his house the day before the muir.
der, but, he added, laughing, il
would be brought back. At the
time Of his arrest the authorities
found the gun in his possession and
a bullet from the murdered mans
head fits it exactly. A shell be-
longing to it was also found neal
the fatal spot. Meeks lived with
Curlee and Jones and knows that
they were absent from home that
night. The two latter admit this
| but claim that they were up the
valley hunting stock. They will
try to prove this by James Atkin-
son and F. Kilfoyle, who, however,
only saw them, at nine o'clock the
next day, three or four miles away
from More's. Austin Brown testi-
fled that Meeks had been solicited
by Sprague 10 join the conspiracy
aud refused. This the latter denies.
There is story that Sprague to-
| day wished to tnra States evil
dence, but that his offer was re-
fused. He denies it. The prose.
cution will probably take three
more days to get through with
their testimony.

Piet Co Blow up the Yrazu.


SAN FRANCISCO, April Sth.-In-
quiry leaves no room to doubt that
a plot has been afoot here to blow
up the steamer Yrazu, formerly the
Pelican, recently sold to the Costa
Ricans. Leading men of Guate-
mala, fearing she was destined to
prey upon Guatemalan commerce,
sent agents here who have been
endeavoring to hire men to blow
up the vessel with dynamite at her
moorings here. The Guatemalan
agents and those with whom they
had communicated were shadowed
by the police and, week ago last
Sunday night, two men were seen
to creep on board the steamer. One
was captured but the other,escaped,
carrying a small package. Moth
ing could be ELECTED from the pris-
oner and he was finally released.
