Land League. A large number of the Land
League was present. The entertainment was
opened by piano solo by Miss Lizzie O'Con-
nor, which was rendered in a pleasing man.
ner.
Miss Mary Looney read very acceptsbly a
humorous selection entitled "Mice at Play"
A selection entitled "My heart is with thee
was sung with much feeling by Miss Katie
Burns. Miss Downing acclaimed with dra-
matte force and fire "Fonteney." A piano
solo was finely rendered by tho talented
young pianist, Miss Nellie Lynch.
A quartette consisting of Misses Nellie Shee-
han, Mary Looney, Nellie Meehan and Mrs.
Mccain favored the audience with some pop
ular songs which were we'll rendered.
Mr.. T. j. Mcintyre made few eloquent and
appropriate remarks, in which he eulogized
the Ladies' Land League and the great work
hich was being done for the cause of ireland
by the noble women of Ireland and America,
Miss Julia Flaherty gave piano solo which
was loudly applauded. 1.-THE Pa triot's Crave"
was read with much force by Mrs. Cornelius
Discroll.
The feature of the evening was the singing
by the Lotos Quintette, composed of j. WEIGH.
F. Mcmahon, H. S. Kennedy, W. Hayes and
FL. B. Durham. The club first sang with
great ability "Old Willow Cradle,'' which was
rapturously received by the large audience
present Upon being encored they sang ''Sis-
ter Mary" which was also enthusiastically re-
ceived. Messrs McMahon and Kennedy then
sang "Larboard Watch" to the delight of
those present. The Lotos Club contains musi-
cal talent of high order. We hope to bear
them often.
The members of the Ladies' Land League
deserve the highest praise for furnishing such
pleasing entertainment They certainly ex-
hibit an earnestness and zeal in the cause
which the gentlemen should strive to initiate.
Next Tuesday evening the Land League
elect officers and it is earnestly hoped that
every member will be present.

The Washings of California Mines.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-The committee
appointed by the Board of Trade to investi-
gate the debris question and report on some
basis of compromise between the farmers and
miners have reported. After reviewing their
recent tour through Yuba, Suffer and Nevada
counties, and considering the great damage in
flicted on the water courses and farming popu-
lation by the deposit of debris from mines, and
on the other hand the magnitude OF the min

ering also the fact that the safety of the valley
depends not only upon the stoppage of fur
Their flow of debris from the mines but also
retention of the vast masses OF debris already
washed out and liable to be carried down by
the winter floods, the report concludes by rec
ommending that dams be Immediately con-
structed on the Yuba river below the junction
of Deer creek, and at Degare Point; that the
brush dam on the Yuba river be at onae re-

borne by the mining interests; that the FEEDER

preparations sufficient 10 dredge and otherwise

Feather rivers in the interests of commerce;
that all litigation be suspended between the
parties interested; that security against further
damages is imperative, but whether that shall
involve the stoppage of the mines during the
construction of the dam is not cur province,
but is for convention to eide; that to bring
about cooperation of conflicting interests,

ordered mind Guiteau is in good spirits and
is reDorted as confident of acquittal. No hos
