SPURIOUS COIN.

The great increase in the nonuiact-
ure and circulation ofspurl)us money
is said to be causing serious concern
to the government. Every day sacks
of counterfeit coin are received at the
treasury which are captured by the
detective officers in different places
An analysis shows that these coins are
composed Of Block tin, anthony and
glass, cast in natrix Of plaster OF
paris. Some are made by the electro
process with a sufficient coating Oh Sll'
yer on the base metal to make 1t I'M
pervious to acid. These have the ap.
rearance and ring Of the genuine and
can only be detected by the weight
The most Industrious manufacturers
of these spurious dollars are found IN
the West. It is becoming q question
whether q paper currency will not
prove a safer circulating medium, SO
far as counterfeiting is concerned,
than silver. The silver coinage ls
likely to prove serious calamity In
the losses it will cause through coun.
terleit coin. Look out for them.

The owners of Mollie Mccarthy, Mr..
Winters, told the trainer of Mollie be-
fore he left for California that if he
was satisfied that Mollie would win
tie race he should telegraph him and
he would come on, but il any fears
were entertained, not to telegraph, as
he did not care to make so long a trip
for nothing. On Saturday the train

RESTLESS INDIANS.

Reports from Oregon state that all
the Indians in that section are dlsat
fccted, and will be ready on slight
provocation to commence hostlIltles
against the whites. Even the Warm
Spring Indians, heretofore strong
friehds of the Government, now re-
fuse to fight tie Bannocks, and it is
thought many of them will so upon
the war path. Col. Bernards com
mand of about five hundred attacked
force of Bannock Indians, fifteen
hundred strong, last week, and com
pletely routed them, destroying their
camp and winning signal victory.
But if the Indians are bent on gen.
cral fight our little army has hard

socialist VICTORY.

A startling change has been sud-
denly wrought in the politics Of Cali
Goruia. The democratic and repub-
lican parties have been almost totally
wiped out of existance, and the ne"
party known as Kearneyltes have
swept the state. Worst of all this
sudden revolution has taken place IN
the election Of delegates to conven-
tion to remodel the constitution of the
State. This new party has therefore
the power to foist its m'Sch'evo"s
doctrines into the organic law. Last
accounts say the members Of the
convention will stand slxty-three
Kearneyites or workingmen' 50 non
partizaus, 10 republicans and 8 demo-
Gratis. Of the thirty delegates from
San Francisco one half are net tax
payers and nineteen of them have on
" become citizens of the U. S. within
three years. The non-partizan organ
ization was hastily arranged by COM
hined democrats and republicans dur.
ing the campaign in hopes of check
ing the Ksarneyites. But it was to-
late for efficient work. The Socialis
tic and Communist element has conse
ouently won its first substantial victo
ny by sweeping the board in Cal'for
MIA. 1t is sign Of the tunes which
is not safe to disregard.

Nelson, then presiding, said that the point was
not well taken and he overrued it, saving that inc

In accordance with this request twenty Officers
and 374 renlisted men were mustered out ana DIS

the evidence is clear that this muser-on was ordered
at the request and solicitation of the commanding
officer speaking for his men; that there ID no EVIL

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Thc debate on the tim
Der seizures by order of the Secretary Of the Interior
was continued in the House of Representatives to-
day.
Mr. Hooker gave history from the point Of view
of ms constituents Of the proceedings of the special
agents of the Interior Department i'll viz
tually taking possession of an entire
ton of country, Selling all the logs
and lumber they could find, arresting those III
whose possession the property was found, making
the conditions of bonds such that they could not
be given, and securing from the Treasury Depart
ment authority have clearance papers refused to
all vessels which were loaded with lumber, which
the agents suspected had been cut on the public
lands. Mr. Rockers speech was strong one, al
though il was hardly a fair conclusion which he
drew that appropriation ought not to be maze 10
enable the Department of Justice TO prepare Tor sus-
tanning the suits which the Government has
brought
Mr.. Patterson. of Colorado also spoke for his con-
stituents.
The course of the Interior Department was de-
Tended by Mr.. Charles Foster and Mr. Baker of
Indiana.
The Presidents veto Of the Timber Bill was re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.
While there is no doubt that grave injustice and
some oppression has been caused by the unwise or
ill-coasidered management Of the Govern
ment suits against these timber depredators
still there can be as little doubt that
measures of vigilance and protection are
very necessary in portions of the country where
large tracts of Government timber lands exist, es-
pecially in view of the fact that the denudaton OF
the soil has recently become subject of grave dis
cussion on tho part of scientists not only with re-
gard to the effects of the removal OF the forests
upon the annual amount of rainfall but also with
regard to the fact that at the present rate OF con-
sumption the necessary supply of timber will per-
haps even in the next generation be found wanting
IN great degree.
