that Cunningham, now under arrest in
London in connection with the recent eN-
plosion at the Tower, is the same young
fellow who two years ago lived here, and
who was written up at the time as an eX-
plosiye and infernal-machine maker, and
full of scheme TO blow up all the public
buildings of London. He was known then
as Michael ]. Byrne. He was 4 harness
maker by trade and devoted his spare
time and money TO experimenting with eX-
plosives and making internal machines.
He also lived in Chicago, where he was
known as James Gilbert, and in Phila
delphia, where he went by the name of
James Cunningham. He claimed to have
been obliged to leave Ireland because he
was implicated i'll the murder of 4 land
lord, but this story was not much relied
upon by his friends. He was in Denver
last August, but since then he has not been
heard from.
The New Orleans Exposition.
New ORLEANS January 29th-There was
a large attendance at the Exposition to-
day. Visitors are rapidly arriving, most
of them to remain until after the Mardi
Gras. In the main building all the eXhib
its are in place, and in few days the sound
of saw and hammer will be unheard, eX-
cept in the way of improvement. 1t was
the original intention to place the Liberty
Bell on a platform in the center of the
Government building, but this evening it
is learned that the committee have decided
to place it, just as it hangs on the car, in
the main building, near the Mexican silver
nugget. 1t is further understood that the
final locating of the bell will take place on
Wednesday next, with appropriate cere-

THE Ice CRoP-The Summit Ice Com
pany has about completed the work of har-
vesting its crop of $4,000 tons from Prosser
creek, and the other three companies will
soon finish. The aggregate amount will be
something like 10000 tons, which will be
not only used for the supply of California
but also for New Mexico and Arizona. and
also the railroad route east as far as Ogden.
The ice is an unusually fine article but the
gathering of it has been unusually ex-
pensive, three of the companies losing by a
storm nearly all that they had gathered
carly in the season.

FURTH:R EXPRESSIONS
OF the Press on the Election of Senator
Stanford.


Leland Stanford's election as United
States Senator was satisfactorily consum-
mated by the Legislature Wednesday, when
he received a majority on joint ballot of the
two Houses. There are a great many UNI
expected turns in politics, but subsequent
investigation usually proves that the unex-
pected is the product, not of accident: but
of causes whose operations the multitude
have been too dull to perceive. From this
point of view, Mr.. Stanford's election must
be considered decisive proof of momentous
changes in the public sentiment of Califor-
MIA. There is substantial unanimity in the
expressions of opinion with which the
choice has been received. Republicans of
all shades accept it with approval, and even
Democrats prefer Stanford to any other Re
publican. Such unanimity of sentiment
can only be taken to mean that the people
of California have tired of the petty strife of
demagogues, which has kept the State in a
ferment for so many years and have re-
solved upon new departure. rs.

THE PEER OF ANY.

In his seat rs Senator from California
Leland Stanford will be the peer of any of
the greatest men there. OF liberal educa-
ton, great culture and vast executive abil-
ity, crowning with his service III the Senate
q career of remarkable success both in
political and business sense, he will bring
to the deliberations of the body TO which
he will be accredited capacity and power
that will place him Immediately in the
front rank of Senators.
On all the vast questions relating to
transportation and the relations of the
transportation interests to the people, Gov
ernor Stanford will bring to their solution
mind trained by long years consideration
of those problems from the standpoint of
the companies alone but at the same time
there can be no reason to believe that the
interest of the people will suffer at his
hands. His well-known integrity will
stand in the way of that. So far as the
interests of the people of California or of
the whole country are concerned no better
selection could have been made. . = =

cHAMBERLAIy's REMARKS.

Chamberlain, in the course of his speech,
said that when the work of mercy in re-
lieving The British garrisons in the Soudan
was happily ended, the English would
abandon that country, and let the Sou
danese establish the form of government
they liked best. He said he hoped the
present Parliament would settle the Brad
laugh deadlock, and concluded by de-
nouncing the present English land system
as exceptionally unjust, unfair and ridicu-
lous. When Chamberlain mentioned the
name of Parnell, it was received with loud
groans and Kisses.

Wholesale Forgery of Chinese Certificate.

NEW DIRK, January ZJtn.-l ne HeFNtu
says There seems to be a wholesale for
gerry Of Chinese immigration certificates
somewhere between the Celestial Empire
and San Francisco within the last year or
two. According to the TriJuReS CORE
spondent in Hongkong, not more than
Il73 certificates have been issued by the
Chinese authorities since the Restriction
Act went into effect, and only two since
1888. All the same, a good many more
Cinnamon than ,l73 have tried to pass the
Custom House at San Francisco on the
strength of certificates showing that they
were within the conditions of our laws.
Apparently little quiet detective work AT
Ilongkong and Canton would be good
thing. 1t will surprise many persons to
learn, in connection with this matter that
the Chinese authorities are not greatly dis
| turbed because their people are shut out of
our ports. They did not like the insinua-
ton that they are not nice enough to be
let in. but they like to see an their pig-tails
| at home.
Seymour, Consul at Canton. has been in
vestigating the issue of certificates, under
instructions from the State Department at
Washington. Seymour finds that the last
certificate issued in 1888 was granted to one
Ing Tsung Change, who was described as i
missionary teacher or preacher intending
to preach Christianity among the Chinese

issued since, both of them being dated May
! 3. 1881. These were in favor of servants of
the Chinese Consul al San Francisco; one
of them. Wong Tun Chun. being aged SO

An Old Man Murdered.

JoNEsGoEo ala J, January 29th-A most
horrible murder was the killing, last night,
near here, of Bennett Parsons, a respectable
farmer, - years of age. Between 9 and 10
o'clock P. NJ, according to their story, Mrs.
Parsons and her two daughters went to the
stable for something. and during their alb

OF a gun They paid little attention to it,
as it is not an exceptional occurance, and
returning to the house retired. They de-
clare that they did not find out that Par
sons was shot until this morning, when
they found his body, badly burned, lying
on the hearth in his room. A Coroner's
jury to-day rendered a verdict that Bennett
