SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ia peculiar sit
uation is presented in the case Of Lloyd l..
Majors, the Lexington, Santa Clara county,
murderer. who was to have been executed
to-day. Majors had already been tried in
San Jose for the murder of Renowden, one
OF the two men murdered, and received q
life sentence. He was afterwards tried for
the killing of Mcintyre, the other Of the
two men murdered. For this he was SEN
fenced to be hanged. He appealed to the
Supreme Court, ON the ground that his
life had been in jeopardy once on the same
stituting, he claimed, but one %offense.
The prosecuting attorney induced the Gov
ernor to grant q respite until the Supreme
Court had rendered q decision. Majors
now comes forward and refuses to accept a
reprieve. His counsel also resist it, say
ing that the Governor has no right to
reprieve q man against his will.
The Portland Mayor In Trouble.
PORTLAND, Jan. 18.-Mayor Chapman
last July ousted Luppens, Chief of Police,
and appointed Wstkinds. The trouble
between .ie Mayor and Luppens was made
up, and the Mayor determined to reap
point the latter. To accomplish this they
had arranged q visit to q Francisco, SO
that during his absence the acting Mayor
might make the appointment. just as he
was leaving per steamer, Chief Watkinds
came and told him that if he attempted to
leave the city he would arrest him on the
charge OF bribery. The Mayor has post
poned his visit.

FRESNO, Cal, Jan. 1.-two tramps at
tempted to board a south-bound freight
train at Borden. this county, to-day. On
being put off by q brakeman they made an
assault on him with clubs and stones.

brakeman, but he was Knocked down
with a club, when another brakeman
came to the rescue, and being armed, he
drew his pistol and commenced firing at

A COrner ON the Orange Crop.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 1s.-The Examiner
says: In this State the orange crop has
been cornered by a combination composed
of Eugene German of Los Angeles and
L. G. Iresovich and Isidore Jacobs of this
city. The combination have already Sc
cured nine-tenths of the entire crop. Ac-
cording to official reports the crop will be
fully 40 per cent short of what was ex-
pected, SO that between q short crop and a
corner oranges are likely to be higher in
price than ever before. Tie short crop in
Florida will be taken advantage of to ad-
vance prices.
A Recommendation.
PORTLAND, Jan. 18.-The Grand Jury
has made the following surprising recon-
mendation: 1t having been found impos-
sible to suppress, we recommend licensing
houses of i'll fame; as they being a neces-
sary evil, we believe that being licensed,
and under the supervision of health
officers, or a Board of Physicians, it would
be the means of closing the worst places
and putting the remainder under medical
restraint.
Senators Lukewarm.
SAN Francisco. Jan. ia Chronicle
Washington special says: 1t is definitely
ascertained that the bill of Senator Gas
son Of Louisiana, for the abrogation of the
Hawaiian treaty. will be passed immedi-
ately after final action on the Mexican
treaty. The Senators who have hitherto
favored the Hawaiian treaty are evidently
lukewarm.

christ & Co., wholesale liquor dealers,
