Severe on Mitchell.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 20.-The Eagle says
The contest for the Oregon Senatorsbip has
been brought to sudden and ignoble con.
clusion by the election Of Mitchell to succeed
Slater. After the discreditable exhibition
made by the Legislature In the protracted
deadlock Of last spring, there was no reason
TO anticipate creditabIe result of the extra
session. But 1t Is doubtful II even the more
than tolerant public Of the Pacific slope were
prepared for IS unworthy an outcome As the
return Of Mitchell, while to the country his
selection will carry . stock Of establishment,
regret and humiliation. That the election
was contaminated with the assistance of
Democratic votes does not paRiaLe the uR-
wisdom or unftness of the choice.
The World, which yesterday expected the
new Oregon Senator would vote with the
Democrats, and passed the matter by with
out further comment, to. day discovered that
all the talk about his voting with the Demo-
cratic Administration In the Senate amounts
to nothing. He can only be relied upon to
serve the railway corporations. 1t Is great
pity be ls coming back TO the Senate, and q
shame that he should be returned through
Democratic votes.

Ruling Relating TO Land Entries.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Commissioner
Sparks has decided, and SO rules, that the
Communication OF the homestead Is In effect
and law the turning Of an entry into . pre-.
emption, ane as such is illegal when the
claimant has previously had the benefit of
pre- emption. Since the passage Of the home.
stead law 1t has become almost universally
the practice for settlers TO secure claims
under both that and the prescription law, In
addition to which they have usually taken
the benefit OF the timber culture law, thus
aggregating, under the three laws, maxi.
mum estate Of $50 acres to each settler. Il
mas been customary to take up pre- emption
and tree claim alone, and after the lapse Of
the shortest necessary interval, to mortgage
the former for enough to pay the government
price OF II, when, having secured q title, the
settler wss at liberty to move away and take
the benefit Of the homestead law. The
ruling Of the Commissioner is calculated TO
put an end to this practice.
IL Is not true that he has ruled that no.
person Is entitled to the benefits of both tho
presumption and homestead laws, although
he Is inclined to that belief, and ancb .
ruling in the future Is not altogether Inn.
probable.

Great Rainfall In California.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 20.-It has rained
almost steadily throughout the State for five
days. 1t cleared off this morning, but is
raining harder than ever tonight. The
total rain for the month up to 8 O'Clock this
evening IL 8 and Z 100 inches. This never
has been exceeded, except perhaps in the
year 40, when II 5000 inches fell during
October and November. Judging from the
rainfall tonight the probabilities are that
before the present month is ended the
record will be exceeded. Reports from Los
Angeles to night state that portions Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad between Sepnl.
veda and San Fernando have been washed
out and the San Fernando tunnel cavec In
In several places.
Heavy washouts are also reported on the
California Southern Railroad, which con.
meets with the Atlantic & Pacific road. The
railroad bridge In Csjon Pass, on the Cali.
fornia Southern, has been washed away, and
the Atlantic 81 Pacific track near Ludlow
Station 10 badly washed out In several
places.
A cloud burst In Devils Canyon, near San
Bepnardino last night, destroyed the toll
road for some distance. The gate keeper
and family barely escaped drowning. Dam
ages from the floods are also reported from
many other points In the State.

Enclosure OF Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Reports from
special agents Of the General Land Office
indicate that little or no attention was paid
by cattlemen who illegally inclosed public
lands, to the Presidents message of last
summer commanding the removal of fences.
Commissioner Sparks to-day sent about
forty letters to the Secretary of the Interior,
each letter specifying and describing en- lille.
gal Enclosure of public land, giving the name
Of the holder or holders, and each recon.
mends that the matter be brought to the
attention Of the Attorney General with the
view of an institution of both civil and
criminal proceedings against the offenders.
Sparks also recommends that these cases be
laid before the President, with the request
that he exercise the authority conferred
upon him by Congress In the matter. The
act Of Congress confers the power to make
use Of the military to secure the removal Of
fences.

A SHORT WAR.

Some two or three weeks ago. King Milan,

Alexander, and have defeated and driven
the ServiaDs across the border with severe

The "Buzzard" Dollar.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-The 7ribune's
Washington special says: 1t is pretty well
understood that the President has recon-
mended the suspension Of the coinage of the
"Buzzard" dollar, and it is generally be-
lieved that the overwhelming majority Of
the Democrats In Congress will refuse TO
agree TO 1t. There are a few Democratic
representatives, Of whom Randall, perhaps,
may be taken rs the type, who are for an
outright repeal of the Bland law, first as q
necessary step toward the securing of all in
ternationsl ratio between gold and silver,
and second, because they are, opposed to
clothing the Secretary Of the Treasury with
power to coin money in the exercise Of his
own discretion. There are a few other
Democrats who desire TO see the coinage 90
on, but who have begun to cry for an honest
silver dollar.

THE COPPER MARKET.
A Heavy Sale by the Anaconda and an Upward
Tendency.

The New York Mining and Engineering
Journal Of the 18th inst. has the following
TO say Of the state Of the copper market:
"The price Of Chill bars reached, on the
10Th inst, In London, the hitherto unparal-
leled figure Of f3s los. and remained at
f3s It's. Cd. On November llth the Ana.
conda Company sold 5000 tons Of copper
matte (eqpal 10 say 100000 pounds Of
copper, and Chilli bars Immediately went to
$50 %. 3d., and to-day ESQ It's. 3D., the
market closing firm at Gao 5s. It Is be-
lieved that the bottom has been touched,
and that the advance may 60 farther than
this figure. Naturally, this movement Of
Chilli bars leads to the conclusion that the
price was depressed In order to buy Ans
conda matte ct q low figure, and that It was
reached when that object was attained. The
Anaconda deliveries run over four months.
This company has also sold good deal Cat
least 900 tons) of matte to the Baltimore
works. The market here Is very dull, and
may be quoted ~ follows: Lake, l00061lc.;
Oxford and Baltimore, I06l0.c.; while We
have heard Of copper having been offered ct
o.S0c.n
Thus 1t will be seen that the output Of
the Anaconda Company is cutting most
important figure In the regulation Of the
copper market, and may have been the
subject Of put.up Job. Be this - IL may,
the company is now holding back Ito pres
emit product, and is not by any means In .
hurry to close new contract, particularly
ct the old rates, which 10 thus explained BY
the same paper, q follows:
"A new contract fer Anaconda matte has
not yet been closed, although 900 tons have
arrived in excess Of the quantity for deliv-
cry under the last one. As the English
smelters wish TO obtain the terms of the las:
contract, namely, the equivalent per unit Of
best selected copper at the time Of arrival,
less Ct los. per ton, or 10. Cd. per unit with
the best selected At f45 per ton (to- days
value being E44 l0s.), 1t Is not surprising
that the. owners should hesitate TO cell their
matte at such sacrifice, considering that
other American matte 10 selling In the open
market at Is. l0id., Chilli regulus Of 45 per
cent. at &c., ore 1t Is. 3D., and Spanish pre-
cipitate Of 90 per cent. at Is. l0ld. per unit"

AMONG other reasons offered for having
an extra session Of the Legislature this win
ter, is the deslrability Of repeating the salary
bill for county officers. We doubt II the
same members who enacted the law last
session should now meet In extra session,
before the salary bill has been tested thor,
oughly, would consent to repeal 1t. BY the
time OF the meeting Of the next regular ses.
sion, we believe the dement's Of the system
will. be so obvious that IL will then be re-
pealed. If not, will be because experience
has demonstrated It's merit. There Is no ar
gument TO offer now for Its repeal that did
not exist at the time II was passed, and,
practically, the same membership would
