Ali Hoax.
PARIS, February 26th.-It is now alleged
by those who declare that the recently re-
ported Congress of dynamiters in this city
was hoax. The whole affair was con-
cocted by the foreign police for the purpose
of alarming England, and inducing her to
become a party to the proposed interna-
tional extradition treaty against the dy-

Deaths from Cold Weather.
TORONTO, February 26th.-The winter
has been an exceptionally severe and steady
one. Numerous instances have been re

latest is that of Mrs. McRuar and hel
eight-year-old son. The McRuar family

Assembly Bill No. 40 as it passed the

italics and brackets:

common law of England which relates to
riparian rights, is hereby declared to be repug-
nant to aud inconsistent with the climate.

poses OF irrigation iGRd miGiHgl, and TO that ex

irrigation IS public use.
in the Assembly the friends Of few
hydraulic miners-not of the mass of min
ing Underestimate determined fight to
have the bracketed words inserted. They
were defeated, and properly. There was
no secresy made of the fact that they ex-
pectsd with those two words to overturn
and nullifv the effect of the whole line of
decisions, behind which the valley is in
trenched against the flow of mining debris
The bill went to the Senate and there the
words italicized have been inserted in
Committee of the Whole, at the instance
of few hydraulic mining and large water
company interests. Friend; of the irriga-
ton movement must see that this means
the defeat of their measure This Journal
has sincerely hoped that some equitable
and feasible plan would be agreed upon
for the utilization of waters for the needs
Of lands demanding irrigation. Years ago
we made, by special commissioner, exhaus-
tive inquiry into the whole subject of
water utilization and storage, to which
latter too little attention has been given
AS factor in the problem. We then, and
ever since have urged the systcmatizing of
irrigation and tho settling upon some
clear irrigation policy. But there
must be no irrigation hill passed saddled
with such a rider as is now being put upon
this BILL Whatever virtues the bill may
have. the people of the Sacramento valley
will never consent to a reopening OF the
hydraulic mining question. Better that
the deserts remain unreclaimed and the
parched lands 60 unwatered, than that the
law be hlotted out, which is to-day the
safeguard of the people against the I'M
natural descent of mining debris and
slickenS, and which, ii unchecked would
render the fertile regions along the Sacra-
mento river uninhabitable and utterly
destroy the navigability Of the chief free
highway of the State.

STUPIDITY.

We invite attention of Legislators to a
communication in this issue from the Sec
rotary of the State Board of Health 1t
clearly explains the stupidity of the San
Francisco papers that have been fighting
the quarantine bill, on the ground that it
would create an avenue for the unrestrained
influx of Chinese. The San Francisco
press seems not to have known that the
bill it 50 stupidity opposes died in COM
mittee, and that the $4,000 the State
Board of Health asks to be set aside, is fol
the sole purpose of aiding the Board in re-
sisting the encroachments of pestilenoe III
case cholera or yellow fever moves this
way. 1t sets aside the money for use only
in case of necessity, and then only by order
of the Executive and the State Board Of
Examiners. The San Francisco press in
this matter has made it evident that ii as
saults measures without knowledge Of
them. In this case it certainly has been
beating the air.

L FEDERAL BUILDING.

Sacramento is to have Federal build
ing. 1t has long been needed The Gov
eminent has paid much more than the cost
OF such building for rents in the past few
years. Credit should lie given FOR the ac-
complishment where it belongs. Our
Democratic Representatives in Congress
have succeeded where their predecessors
for years past have failed. These latter
frequently endeayorcd to secure the appro-
priation, and there are 10 reproaches at
taching to them. The circumstances were
not propitious, and they failed, whereas
the present Representatives were fortunate
as to time and circumstance, and backed
these with energy and adroitness. We are
to have the building-that is settled. Now
let it be noted whether any one will work
up job under it, SO as to neceSsitate sec

THE disposition manifest in the Domin-
ION of Canada to invite unlimited immi-
grafton of Chinese to the whole northern
region is a serious menace to the restriction
measures Of the United States With
frontier line OF some thousands of miles
how can we hope to prevent the Chinese
coming over the border into our more
equable cline and more remunerative labor
fields? If the Dominion Government re-
solves, as is not improbable, upon this new
policy, it viii be an almost hopeless task
TO prevent the Chinese pouring in upon us
through the gateway of the north. We
cannot interfere in the affairs of our neigh
bors, but We may, by protest and 10y threat
ened retaliatory legislation, do much to
prevent the consummation that now prom
ises.

MGR. CAPEL, in recent address before
the New York Press Club, gave the press
men of America broad hint as to duty in
the fraternity of journalism. He said that
iii some respects, the appreciation of news
paper work was higher in England than in
| this country. Such work was not under
rated here; but there was way in Eng.
land by which the families of newspaper
| workers were helped when left destitute
was no such way here. The English soci
eties of which Lord Houghton was at the
head, was constituted for just this purpose
Once year men prominent in various
callings met to consider the needs, and
when they rose from dinner $4,000 tc
$4,000 had usually been added to the fund
of the society. While the Press Club was
good thing in its way rs a mental relie
and social pleasure, it should, he thought
be supplemented by some such society
There is food for reflection in his remarks
Why should not the press men of America
have confraternal relation, at least to the
| extent of caring for the supermnuated and
unfortunate of the profession? Certainly
such efforts would result benefcially in
elevating the standard of newspaper
writers. For organization with that object
in view would do much to better
the habits of this class OF literary
men, for whom, when worn out, there is SC
seldom place in all the wide world. The
majority Of them are not provident, and il
is probably the exact truth that fifty out
of hundred if incapacitated need assist
ance from others. Associations that will
encourage the saving of funds for reliei
purposes will conserve the provident spirit
| Very many vocations have organizations
| for mutual aid that need it less than the
very large class of men who devote THEN
lives to news gathering, to news writing
| and news criticism. Further on in his re-
marks the distinguished prelate spoke Of

CALIFoRNIA's New SENATOR. = The
election of Ex-Governor Leland Stanford
to the United States Senate is received by
the California press generally with express
sions of satisfaction so marked and appa
rently sincere that the event may perhaps
be regarded as ending the long anti
railroad war in that State. 1t is certainly
remarkable that many journals which have
for years denounced the corporation of
which Governor Stanford is the head, have
expressed approval of the recent choice of
the State Legislature. If so singular an
unanimity OF sentiment does not really in
dictate the subsistence of the old feeling of
hostility toward the railroad company, it
must betoken confidence in the personal
integrity and capacity of Governor STAN
ford so universal and genuine as to be very
complimentary to him. In either case the
comments of the State press upon his cleo
ton constitute at once a strong body of
credentials and a felicitous introduction to
Washington political life.-[New York

SANTA FE, February 26th.-The horrible
story telegraphed by your correspondent
Saturday evening was confirmed to-day by
advices direct from Las Norias, the scene OF
the trouble. Jose Gallegos, an insane
Mexican, killed his own family and Miguel
Montaro and a Mexican man and woman
who were found dead near Gallegos' ranch
on Tuesday last are also believed to be the
crazy mans victims. Wednesday morning
last Crecensio Lucero Gallegos' grandson
organized a posse of twenty men, went to
Gallegos' residence, surrounded the house
and captured the lunatic without resistance
He was led outside of the house, and, as
Lorenzo Montana says, shower OF
bullets as from heaven riddled his worth
less body. As the party approached the
house they saw the murderer's wife and ten
year-old daughter lying perfectly nude near
the building. The daughter had n bullet
hole in her breast, and the wife lay upon
her back, displaying CHASTITY hole i'll the
head. from which the brains oozed. Both
of her breasts had been cut entirely from
the body, as if the fiend had done it to
| make her suiierings as terrible as possible
| The party went into the house and found
| the murderer's son, about three years old
| lying upon bed, with both hands and feet
| tied and almost starved. He must have
| lain there several days. lie was released
and sent to FL Pine to a friend.

a two days session here at noon to-day
Among other things passed were resolu-
tons calling upon the Governor put in force

the introduction of diseased cattle into
New Mexico and name Stock inspectors
| under the quarantine law. A resolution
| was also adopted eulogizing Governor
Sheldon, and thanking him for his hearty
| efforts to foster and protect the interests OF

The Territorial quarantine law is very
sweeping one, which means in effect that
| no Texas cattle can be shipped through the
Territory The law will likely be pro-
| claimed in force by the Governor within a
week The delegates to this Convention
represent S20000,0O0 of capital, invested in
