A pIsaRAcEruL ARrAIR

A carload of canned provisions had been
ordered from the East for the Arctic ex-
ploring vessel Rodgers, about to sail in
search of the Jeanette. When the goods
were received it was discovered that they
were all spoiled, and in state of decom-
position. They had been canned SO badly
that they would not keep even from one side
OF the continent to the other. Now it is to
be remarked that this is not new kind of
discovery. 1t will be remembered that
the loss of the Sir John Franklin expedi-
ton has been attributed to precisely sim
liar fraud on the part Of the contractor
who supplied it with canned provisions.
When they were opened they were found
to be uneatable, but unfortunately the dis
covery of their condition was not made
until tho loss was irreparable, and so the
crew and officers were deprived of that
change of diet which is so indispensable
to the preservation of health in high lati-
tudes. But the case Of the Franklin expe-
dition is not the only one in point. Singu-
lar as it must appear, the very same thing
occurred when the Jeanette was about to
sail for the Arctic, two years ago. The
Gail says on this /: Among the stores
purchased in the East by Captain De
Long for the Jeanette, before she sailed
/" from this port two years ago, was a
/" quantity of canned beef, which was
:" guaranteed to be of extra quality, and
" peculiarly suited for tie purpose for
" which it was required. 1t was shipped
by rail, and delivered at Mare Island.

EARTH VERSUS sroaE.

1t would have been much the wiser plan
to have postponed that part of the election
which relates 10 the stone improvement,
but as the Trustees have not seen fit to
take that course there remains no other
methad of dealing with the proposition
than to vote it down. We have shown
that it is at best but delusion; that it
does not promise any real security that it
would not strengthen the levees save in
few places that it would cost three times
as much as earthwork, and would be far
less useful that it would commit the city
to an expenditure Of $780, 600 upon futile
scheme and that in fact there are no ar.
guments in its favor. There are a few
places on the levees where the deposit of
little stone might do good, but they can
be attended to without any such outlay.
If the Trustees are beaten upon this
second proposition, they Will still have
$50 600 to spend upon earthwork, and
this will give employment to large
numbers of Iaborers in any event.
The improvement of the levees in ra.
tional and effective way may ultimately
cost the city quite as much as it is pro-
posed to squauder upon this stone bust
ness, but then every dollar put on in
effective work will tell, whereas the stone
plan would only give us fictitious secur-
ity, and might very possibly hide serious
inroads upon the strength OF the levees
by gophers and quicksands. Ii the levees
are raised, and their faces sown with Ber.
muda grass, it is the Judgment of the most
experienced engineers and builders
that we shall have all the security that can
be obtained. The cost of one yard of stone
viii put three yards Of earth on the leyees,
and the earth will give far greater strength
to them than the stone. Under the Cir
cumstances, therefore, it would be waste
OF money to adopt the above plan, and we
hope that it will be voted down to-day by
a large majority.

aseveral of the cases were examined.

ssseveral of the cases were examined,
.and their contents were found to be
I" totally unfit for humanfood- beef was
" rotten Not can of the invoice was
i" fit for use, and the Captain duplicated
" his order and had it filled here" Now
it is impossible to believe that these two
cases Of spoiled canned provisions were
merely the result of accident. If they
were it is certain that the firms which
allowed such goods to leave their factories
ought to be tabooed, for such carelessness
is utterly incompatible with honesty and
business ability. But it seems difficult to
escape the suspicion that these dealers
deliberately sought to palm off spoiled
provisions upon Arctic expeditions,
knowing that it would be long
time before they could make any
complaint, and that they might
never return at all. 1t is needless to say
that no respectable firm would be guilty
of such an outrage, and it is equally clear
that no firm guilty of such an outrage can
be considered respectable. The theory of
accident is inadmissible, for it implies
carelessness SO gross as to be criminal. In
such case the manufacturers were bound
to take special pains and TO observe
special precautions, and since under
these circumstances they did what they
did. their conduct ought to damn them in
the eyes of all honorable men.

LEvEE DISTRICT NO. 1.

We are sorry to differ from Mr.. Knox in
regard to the propriety of assisting Levee
District No. l, but due regard for the
interests of Sacramento compels us to this
course. Mr.. Knox appears to US to beg
the question when he speaks of the city
donating S27, 500 to District No. l. In
fact, there is no such proposition before
the public. The people of that district
have declared their readiness to pay their
proportion of the cost of Strengthening the
levee from Y street to Fresport, and we do
not know why anyone should assume that
they are not sincere in this offer. The
Trustees, however, are empowered to col
lect the tax, and even if they were not it
would still, in our opinion, be the only
wise policy for the city to undertake the
work. 1t may be, as Mr.. Knox says, that
there is no danger of the inhabitants of
District Nc. l abandoning their levee. 1t
is certain, however, that not a few Of them
have talked of doing that very thing. Per-
haps Mr.. Knox understands their intentions
much better than they do themselves, but
at least their own declarations must be
admitted as possessing some evidential
value. Nobody has any objection
to their payment OF half or even
all the expense OF the proposed work.
Bat the point which seems to us
conclusive, though Mr.. Knox cannot see it,
is that Sacramento cannot afford to rest her
security upon the action of any outsiders.
This levee may be very necessary to the
people Of District No. l, but it is still more
necessary TO Sacramento, and were they
out OF the question entirely. and were
there no property interests there to be con-
sidered, il would still be the part of wis.
dom for her to maintain that levee. This
is why we hold that the proposed work
ought to be done. The city cannot afford
to be inclosed with water every winter like
a beleaguered citadel, even though it may
not get within her inner defenses. The
security Of District No. is indispensable
to the safety of the city, and whatever may
be said about the wealth or Poverty of the
property-owners of the district, We do not
think there ought to be two opinions as to
the advisability OF voting for the assistance
proposed. We believe further that the
property-owners of the district will pay
their quota cheerfully, and that there will
be no difficulty on that head.

the blowing up of the English sloop-
Dotterel at Sandy Point. in Magellan
Straits. The explosion took place about
o'clock on the afternoon of the 9th of April.
The Dotterel was lying at anchor only about
4oO feet from shore, and was preparing to re-
ceive quantity of coal. Shortly before
the coal hulk came alongside ter
rife explosion occurred in the for.
ward end OF the man.of-war, tear
ing away fully one.third of the vessel,
and shattering other portions. There were
1872 men on board the gunboat at the time of
the explosion. 0aly twelve men were picked
up by the boats from the coal hulk. Those
saved were the commander, paymaster, en-.
eineer, caulker, carpenter and seven seamep.
At the time Of the explosion the Captain of
the Dotterel was afs taking bath. There
were two explosions, one following the other
in rapid succession. At the first explosion
the Captain sprang through small window
and escaped. Soon after he was picked up
by boat naked aud badly stunned by
the conclusion. The others rescued were
blown in various directions, all more or less
injured. OF the 120 lost only a few bodies
were subsequently, recovered. The cause of
the explosion viii never be definitely known.
There was quantity of dynamite on board.
