ARRIVAL OF RE.ENFoRcEaENrs.

When Az. Caldwell turned up here and
took Aldarson under his wing, SO 70 speak,
there was great rejoicing on the State Ad-
ministration side. all this time kilograms
were flying back and forth between here
and home, calling out the reserves and
asking the latest from the front. An effort
was made to draw Ran Stalnaker in, but
the impression Is that stalnaker was busy
whiting his knife for other game. Major
Anderson and his friends OF tho Wilson
Walker faction do not seem yet to UNDER
stand that their cake is all dough, but 1t is
written. The fates have decreed 1t.

Miller's appointment as Commissioner
gave the Alderson people new hope, and
they determined to take the bull by the
horns and plungeat once into the White
House. This was because they did not
quite understand what influences brought
about Miller's appointment It was re-
solved that the Wilson State administra-
ton should throw itself en- masse on the
President and demand share of the
spoils in the name Of thar wing Of the
party. Governor Wilson came. The Presi-
dent was gracious and pleased TO see the
Governor, and the Anderson men profess
ed to be hopeful.

ouestion of only few years, while because VI
the filling of the channels the winter nou US
became constantly more destructive, ana iele
behind them heavier deposits OF the most In :
troctable mining debris. And so arose the
burning question of hydraulic mining versus
farming which has for the past ten years occu-
Mod tbe courts and the press of the State, and
which has more than once threa1eheu W pro,
duce an actual physical conflict AJuuic'h,
decision rendered some two years ago seemeo
TO REQUIRE the suspension II not the aDahuoh, +,
ment of hydraulic mining, but much capi''''
was locked up in that property, the ownerS
were unwilling to submit, and though some
mines ceased working many others continued 10
pine away the bluffs, the agents and proprietorS
meantime dodging the sheriff whenever an
attemnt was made to serve papers on thcm.
LITIGATION was, as ever, slow, and the results
uncertain. hut it had been pointed out by care
ful observers at an early stage of the CONTEST
that something more was needed than ene
stopping of mining. inasmuch as there aireauy
Law in the mountain gulches and streams deOrls
enough to fill the Sacramento River channei
when washed down. and inasmuch as TINS
debris was certain to be brought down by the
winter rains
For a time this warning was unheeded lt
was thought that if the mining was stopped the
danger to the valleys would be at an end. but
in fact what was predicted has happened
There is less mining than ever before, probably,
since mining was begun, but the filling up OF
the Sacramento River channel has this year
proceeded so rapidly that there are now only
three feet of water under the railroad bridge,
and steamers can no longer ascend to the
capital from San Francisco. Sacramento Is
threatened with the loss of her water communi-
cation. and that means commercial decline 10
her, if no remedy is applied, while san Fran
cisco must anticipate the filling, first of San
Pablo and next of her own bay and harbor.
The situation is serious. The remehial
measures thus far available have failed. No
reliance can be placed upon litigation. Under
the circumstances there is n general disposition
10 appeal for aid to the Federal Government.
Unless hydraulic mining can be stopped,
however. there will be no security in the future
against n renewal of tho adverse conditions
which have already almost ruined river navlga-
ton in California, and it would seem necessary
that some assurance on this vital point should
he reached before the Federal Government can
be justified in undertaking so expensive work
as the restoration of the Sacramento to n
navigable state.

The suggestion of the addition of n Third

THE BJ>TORY or 4 RIVER

When General Sutter built his fort of New
Helvetia at the junction of the American and
Sacramento rivers, in California, the Sacra-
mento was clear, bright stream, with deep
channel, UP which, after the discovery of gold,
sailing vessels of considerable tonnage made
their way from San Francisco. AS the placer
mines were developed the Sacramento lost its
clearncss, and after years of debris-bearing
the channel began to silt up, though so grad
ually that no impediment was offered to navi-
CATION. In 1859 hydraulic mining was begun
and before long assumed extensive proportions
With the invention of the powerful nozzles
called Monitors" and Little Giants" great
change was inaugurated. Water under heavy
heads brought down huge sections of cliff,
loosened by high explosives, and under the
tremendous hydraulic force thousands upon
thousands of tons of debris were washed from
the mountain sides into the rivers of the lower
valleys.
The processes of nature were in this way
expedited to such an extent tnat the ultimate
destruction Of interior navigation became Q

The attempt of Collector Hedden to make out
n case of sufficient cause for the removal OF
Captain Bacon is the most transparent piece
of chicanery that any political trickster has IN
dulged in for some time. The person VINO
makes the charges of wrongdoing is an
utter worthless and dissolute man, whose
motives are plain and whose testi-
mony is not credible. Moreover, his
attack was not directed at Captain Bacon
but at q subordinate against whom ne had

the United States District Attorney, with whom
Hednen left Jardine's affidavits in so mysterious
a manner, is credited with saying that he does
not see what the papers were left with him for

Again the Eastern Question looms up before
the Great Powers of Europe. The people OF
Eastern Roumelia have deposed their Governor
General Ia representative of the Sultan oil
Turkey and declared allegiance to Prince
Alexander of Bulgaria. This seems to be the
first practical outcropping OF Russian schemes
in the Balkan States. Russia and Austria nave
been running race since 1878 to see when
should have supremacy in these provinces'
apparently Russia is ahead, or otherwise tnls
rebellion would not have broken out The end
of the trouble is not plain. Bismarck is credited
with favoring Austria's schemes for extension
of power toward the East, and he would PROD
ably support her in difficulties with Russia ana
Austria and Germany would be too much lor
the Car. Bat East Roumelia was created by the
Treaty Of Berlin, and all the other Great
Powers of Europe therefore, will have some
thing to say in the matter before 1t is settled.
