Eads Examining the Distractions in
the Yuba.

MARrsvrLLr. CAL, July 25.-Captain
Eads, State Engineer Hall, Colonel Men
dell and Directors Parks, Knox and
Ssarls. with others. are making . thor
ough examination OF. the rivers In this
vicinity, looking to o solution Of the
debris question. Friday they vent up
the north side OF the Yuba to the looa-
ton OF the proposed dams. Yesterday
they viewed the south side Of the same
river up as far a. S~martsville. where
they went through the extensive mines,
and then to the Deer Creek and Mooney
Flat mines. The intention IL 10 return
here and 60 down the Feather river In
one Of the river boats rendered them by
D. E. knight for an examination a. far
down a. Sacramento. Mr.. Eads was
somewhat surprised at the magnitude Of
the debris overflow, but has no doubt Of
q Anal solution OF the vexsd question;
but il will require some time, and the
public must not expect too much this
season. He seems to have much faith
In o series OF brush dams or the Yuba,
where great quantities Of willow are
growing, suitable for the purpose. He
has not expressed any definite plan Of
action, but will give the matter full In
vestigation, and then give his views

Progress Of the Fast.

Correspondence Of the s. =. Bulletin.
NEW YoRx, July l4.-0n the FIRST OF
July Tanner ate for breakfast some milk,
and entered the hall with the determine
ton Of tasting no more food until the
tenth day Of August. At noon on the
first Of July he weighed l57 pounds, and
was a stout, sallow man, apparently In
excellent health. He gave his age as
forty. nine years. but his hair IL nearly
white. and he looks at least sixty. The
record OF the first two weeks, yesterday
being the fourteenth day, has been kept
in q little book. in which the physicians
in charge enter an account OF what
trauspired during their watch. Two
doctors watch at q time, their watch
lasting six hours, at the end OF which
they are relieved. Although the Neuro-
logical Society and the respectable
members Of the medical fraternity have
pretty generally refused to have any
thing to do with the Tanner experiment,
there are yet many physicians Who
are sufficiently interested to pass much
OF their time at Clarendon Hall, notwith-
standing Hammond's denunciation OF
the whole affair as an imposition upon
the public. Hammond now says that
even II Tanner succeeds In apparently
fasting forty days under the strictsst
watch Of regular physicians, he would
only be convinced that the man had
evaded his watchers in some manner.
As to tho Clarendon Hall experiment,
Hammond laughs at It and declares that
Robert Houdin or any other good magi-
clan could have grown fat under such
watching as Tanner gets. The fast, II
it is q fast. will be o.! no value as q mat
ter OF scientific record. During the first
three days the weather was extremely
hot, and Tanner seemed to suffer more
from the heat and from the crowd Of
curious persons who gathered round the
cot which had been placed for him In
the center OF the hall than from hunger.
He admitted that he was hungry. but
said that hunger would pass away the
third day. The crowd which thronged
to Clarendon Hall was OF the most
singular description, many persons Of
fering suggestions to Tanner from their
own involuntary experience a. starvers
on shipwrecked RATS. The majority re-
gard the faster very much in the light
OF some strange animal, and contented
themselves with staring at him by the
hour. On the fourth day q space about
thirty feet square was rallied In, and In
the centre Of this space Tanner estab.
lished himself. the public not being al.
lowed to come inside the railing. When
he felt like sleeping he laid down or his
cot and slept, Notwithstanding the buzz
Of conversation. During the day he
read the newspaper predictions Of his
early failure or death, and ohattsd with
such OF his visitors as had anything to
say. The letters which he receives are
far moro curious than the callers.

Wishdraws. from she Defcnse.
Cnr.on Time.. Lnlu "A.

Carson Times, July "a.
At the reassembling OF the Court this
morning the Judge announced that II
the prosecution saw fit to 60 on with
the case, 1t was in order to proceed with
the im~paneling OF the jury. His present
impression was that the defendants
special plea was not well taken, but he
reserved opinion until after argument.
The counsel for both sides then stipu.
lated that the plea OF former jeopardy.
entered yesterday. be tried before the
regular jury at the same time as the reg
ular plea OF not guilty. The defend
ants counsel then moved to
prscHARoE THE ELEVEN JURORS
Already impanslsd. This vas denied
by the Court. whersupon the counsel
psrsmptorily challenged the junior
Gratz, claiming that the defense was en-
titled to ten additional p~sremptory chal-
lenges. Ovsrrulsd. The next move
was to ask that all proceedings in the
case be discontinued. N the ground that
the record OF the Court failed to show
any arraignment Of the prisoner. This
motion was also denied, the Court hold
ing that the record did 20 show, although
only in the form OF Q recital in an order
pertaining to defendants plea. To this
ruling the defendant excepted. aud the
examination OF the jurors summoned
yesterday was proceeded with. Twenty
Of the twenty-five IN the venire an
swered to their names and were examined
and found disqualified
ON OF IMPLIED BIAS.
On motion Of the prosecution o new
venire forty jurors was issued and made
returnable at 3 o'clock today. Just be-
fore the adjournment the Court stated
that one OF the jurors selected had on
yesterday expressed an opinion similar
to that which procured Mr.. Dorsey's
discharge, and suggested that II would
be proper to inquire into the matter.
The counsel for the State then examined
the juror and found that his views were
not sufficiently strong TO render his ex-
clusion necessary, and he was retained.
Mr.. Woodburn then arose and asked
permission to withdraw from the case,
stating that there was some misunder.
standing between his employers and
himself in reference to their contract,
and that he had notified them Of bis in
tentiop. He was allowed to withdraw.
The witnesses. with the exception Of
Mrs. Casey and daughter. were excused
until Monday morning ct 10 o'clock.

briny deep and now lies at her very
doors. as II were. Q triumph Of modern
engineering and successful navigation;
triumph Of mind over matter. as well
as a triumph OF modern diplomacy and
the power OF gold. There il Q quaint
degree Of incongruousnsss, commingled
with mercenary vandalism, in the idea
and act OF thus removing from Egypt one
Of her most famous relics Of antiquity
and transplanting 1t to the soil Of the New
World. whose history il reckonsd by GEN.
turies. this ancient obelisk. whose an.
tiquity dates far back thousands Of years.
Egypt is famous only for her past. and
her ancient relics are her proofs and
records OF honored antiquity. The
ruins Of Herculansum and Pompsii are
only valuable and interesting where they
are. and tho same may be said Of
the Pyramids. Bring either to America
and they would simply degenerate to
mere dilapidatsd piles Of rock or old
hswn stone. All such transplantings
would DO sadly and ridiculously out Of
place. Better to build monuments Of
our own than import old mes from
abroad. The companion to this obclisk,
when removed to England, came near
being lost on its OCEAN passage. Sup
posing both had been thus lost and were
now rsposing at the bottom Of the
mighty deep. the world would never
have forgiven the ruthless vandalism
which caused their eternal loss. That
would certainly have been q triumph OF

bersd that every part Of the world. every

that everywhere can DO found cabinets

the securing Of this famous and really
handsome antique relic was not such q
bad idea. II Is q greater curiosity than
