THE recount OF the votes in the Mayor
atty contest in the late municipal election
in San Francisco does not seem to pre-.
sent any very exciting features, although
it shows inaccuracies, most OF which
counted against O'Donnell. One of the
eccentricities of San Francisco is the
steadily accommodating strength of man
whom all parties unite in denouncing as
a charlatan, but who will probably, as
things go, find himself Mayor after many
struggles, as he did Coroner after similar
unsuccessful efforts. 1t is said that
everything is possible to the man who
can wait, and O'Donnell seems to be one
of those men. Fortunately for Mayor
Pond bis sterling worth and splendid
record have given him a second term.

THE MORSE TRAGEDY.
The Inquest Conn mcnccC More
News About Cakes.

The Inquest Commenced More
News About Cakes.
The excitement attending the Morse
tragedy at San Bernardino has to a GER
tain extent quieted down, but there is
still very bitter feeling against the
assassin Oakes, which compels Sheriff
Cole to keep up his vigilant efforts to
protect his prisoner. The inquest over
the remains of poor Morse was COM
menced yesterday morning by Coroner
Wainwright, the first witness called
bank at the time of the shooting and who
nearly met his death on the occasion.
His testimony was as regards Cakes con-
duct; the details being the samsas those
published in the HERALD the morning
after the murder. He was followed by
Mr.. G. II. Condee and Mr.. Brookes,
both of whom were about when
the tragedy occurred and then
DR.. Phelan who attended the
deceased gave his report as to the cause
of death. Mr.. G. W. Sanborn, Super
intendent for the Santa Fe Company,
was next placed on the stand,
and testified to an acquaintance
with Cakes in Ohio. He had
promised him work in San Bernar-
dino as soon as an opening occurred,
and had given him a small amount OF
money with which to purchase food.
The report of the Commission of Lunacy
was next in order, but as it was not
ready the Coroner adjourned the inquest
to Monday, the 23rd Of December. The
funeral OF Morse will take place at 10
o'clock this morning.

THE pettifogger is driving fine game
in Southern California, OF late. As grass
is short with him he has tackled the
newspapers, more promising subjects
failing. A vicious newspaper ought to
be suppressed at once, but an honest
journal should be protected in its utter
ances to the last gasp, and for the public
good, not for the good of the journal.
God help the wretched and predestined
community, in an ill-fared land to
Fastening ills prey, when an honest
newspaper cannot express its views. As
an incident of this fine office in
the interest of the public an occa-
sional mistake, not founded in
malice, must be condoned. We some
times feel like giving certain shyster
attorneys of Los Angeles real ground
for libel suit. But then we could not.
Their simalacrum Of a character is OF such
shadowy and diaphanous consistency
that a jury asked to redress their
wrongs could do nothing but laugh. The
effort would be like trying to clarity dish
or bilge water.

HAYTIAN Affairs.
MumOrs That the Petty Power Will
Show Fight.

New YORK, December 15.-Advices
from Hayti contain intelligence that is
startling, if true. General Iegitime,
they say, has been informed by the cable
to Jamaica, of the order issued by the
United States Navy Department for
three cruisers to go to sea at once. Since
the news reached him General Legitime
is said to have ordered two gunbocts to
Port Prince, and they are now sup
posed to be lying in the harbor there.
Legitime is also having the Belize
equipped for active service, and the work
Of putting the guns aboard of her is about
completed
When asked about this report, Minis
ter Preston said the Belize is strong,
we'll built vessel. When she was built
in England special regard was paid to
the fact that she might be used as a gun
boat in case of need. She will carry one
60-pound gun amidships and four 16-
pound guns.
The Atlas Line steamer Andes sailed
to-day for Port-au. Prince. Rumors that
she carried several hundred thousand
ball cartridges for the Haytian govern
ment could not be officially verified.
From another source it is learned, in ad-
dition to cartridges, she carries l 900
Winchester and Remington rifles.
WILL TAKE TIME BY THE FoRELoCK.
Another story about town is that the
Haytians are to release the steamer Hay
tian Republic and send her back to the
United States before our men-of-war can
get to Port-au-Prince, thus avoiding the
humiliation OF being forced to give up
the vessel.
Minister Preston this morning refused
to affirm or deny the report to the effect
that a crew, under contract to him to
take possession Of the seized steamer
Haytian Republic, has arrived at King
ston. The report, however, is credited
in shipping circles and is looked upon as
a wise movement Of the Haytian Minis
ter. 1t is argued that this crew will at once
be sent to Port.au-P Prince and placed i'm
mediately on the Haytian Republic and
the vessel will be headed for New York,
where she will arrive before the Galena
and Yantic reach Hayti.

EOFeOt His Dehl.

Steve Coleman, who used to be a
deputy constable's assistant, was ar
rested yesterday on warrant sent down
from Lancaster, charging him with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
Last September he borrowed $3.50 from
a Ian caster blacksmith named Johns on,
and neglected either to return it or to 20
through the customary formula of prom
ises. johnson finally got mad and had a
warrant issued for Coleman's arrest. The
latter thinks that he has been subjected
to rather harsh treatment and wants to
know how much would be left of this
immunity if every man who has bur-
rowed dollar or so and forgotten to re-
turn it were to be run in.

A MISSING WIFE.
G. +. Boyer Asks the Police to Find
Her.

Mr.. G. F. Boyer, who keeps lodging
house at 81 Amelia street, near Sanse-
vain, came to the police station yester-
day and made inquiries about his wife,
who was missing. At 8 O'Clock yester-
day morning-so he told the story-with-
out any warning whatsoever, she had
left his house, taking with hsr her
clothes and other possessions OF trans
portable character in trunk Boyer
was not present when she went away,
and thus lost the opportunity of expost-
ulating with her and learning the
motive for the act. He says that
he has always tried to treat her kindly
and can imagine no reason why she
should wish to desert him. Once before
she took it into her head to run off for q
season and was gone three days, but he
unhesitatingly forgave her upon her re-
turn. He promises to do it again if she
will come back this time. According to
his description che is stout but comely
young woman with blonde hair and blue
eyes. If anyone should find her he is
requested to send her back to her
husband

THE good people of Los Angeles are
treated this morning to genuine sensa-
ton of the Dick Turpin order. No less
than three bold robberies were COM
mitted just on the outskirts of the city
during the early hours of last night. In
one Of their encounters with the people
they would plunder the robbers met
with right hot reception. 1t is not
often that this staid and sober commu-
nifty is startled by such bold deeds as
these. 1t is very plain that the city has
been paid visit by gang of bad char
acters, but they have come to the wrong
place. Their career will be short here.

Chinese Gamblers.

Yesterday afternoon sixteen China
men were brought before Justice Bragg
in Justice Taney's Court and arraigned
on the charge Of playing game of dice.
They were captured Friday night by
half dozen Deputy Constables. who
made a raid down into Chinatown for
the purpose OF spying out any gambling
which might be in progress. They man
aged to get into a room where they
found a game going on, and arrested the
entire gang. The Cinnamon will be
given a chance to plead mot guilty"
next Tuesday morning. In the mean
time they have been allowed to 60 on
bail of $50 each.

TuRnr has seldom bean such a malign

THERE has seldom been such q malign
prospect ahead for any political organiza-
ton flushed with victory as that which
confronts the Republican party now, and
we will briefly say why. There is no
question OF the fact that MIR. James G.
Blaine furnished the keynotes for the
late Presidential canvass on the Republi-
can side. The HERALD neither during
nor since the canvass has INDUCED in
any harsh criticism of the Republican
candidate for President. As a matter of
fact he approved himself to us as good
deal of gentleman, like his grandfather
before him, but not as man who would
be likely, as the phrase goes, to set the
river on fire. Since his election he has
been subjected to a degree OF adula-
ton that might we'll distemper
his intellect and force his egotism to the
front. Probably owing his nomination
and certainly bis election to Blaine, Gen.
Harrison finds himself surrounded with
a lot of time servers who delight in
dwarfing the Pine Tree statesman. We
do not know whether or no Mr.. Blaine
would like to be Mr.. Harrison's Secre-
tary of State, but it is generally supposed
that he does, and it is thought quite as
generally in Republican circles that he
ought to get anything he wants from the
man by whom in all probability he was
nominated and to whom he supplied the
intellectual and partizan initiative to
which Harrison owes his success. Should
the President-elect fail to make Mr..
Blaine his Premier he will have q fight
on his hands compared 20 which, in
vehemence and remorselessness, there
has been nothing so portentous in Amer
ican history. Like Conkling, Blaine is a
good hater. When Mr.. Arthur elected
to ignore Mr.. Conkling, the nomination
of Secretary Folger for Governor of New
York gave the Oneida chief the oppor-
tunity for his revenge. He improved it
to the extent of seeing that Grover
Cleveland was elected Governor of New
York by majority that was without
precedent. 1t is true that the Half
Breeds, the friends Of Mr.. Blaine,
also contributed to this result, and
made the issue rather complex
one. But the fact is that the era
of complex politics will again supervene,
to the great benefit of the Democracy, if
Gen. Harrison shall pass the modern
King-maker by. Happily also for the
Democratic party, the enemies of Blaine
in the Republican party are so numerous
that if he is called to the head of Gen.
Harrison's Cabinet the issue will be
almost equally disastrous. Thus the Re-
publican leaders are confronted with a
Scylla and Charybdis. Escaping one
maelstrom, they are liable to be dashed
to pieces on the rocks of the other.

Sullivan's challenge, and the substitution
of others more to Kilrain's liking. Here
tofore in all championship matches the
title and place of the combat either have
been settled by mutual agreement, and
especially the time of battle, or had been
decided by the tossing OF coin.
Before leaving the visitor said he was
speaking by card when he announced
that Kilrain meant business, and If
Sullivan and his friends were not
dealing in another bluff they can
make arrangements to meet Frank
Stevenson, Of this city, and James
Keenan,, of Boston, on behalf of Kilrain
to discuss and arrange any little differ
ences of opinion that may exist between
them as to the relative merits of Sullivan

Record Breakers.

cord was 25 feet, IL inches in England.

The Democratic majority of the present
House of Representatives inaugurated q
new departure that ought to have made
that party very strong on the Pacific
Coast. The appropriation of $3.50, 900 in
the interest of irrigation ought to have
been made years ago. The Pacific Coast
portion of the United States is made up
largely Of extensive areas where the
lands are arid and the rainfall uncertain.
And yet, as to great stretches of these
lands, they are the richest on the foot
stool, almost incredible in depth and
ertile beyond belief when supplied with
irrigating canals. We are not advised
of precisely what distribution will be
made OF this considerable sum. 1t is,
perhaps, even doubtful whether much
of it will find its way west of the Rocky
Mountains. But it is good beginning.
The most abundant crops that have ever
rewarded the husbandman will be made
on lands that we're once grouped on what
used to be called the Great American
Desert if the National Treasury can be
utilized even to moderate extent for
their development. No region of the
globe has more generous watersheds than
Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, South
ern California and even Idaho and Mon
tana, and all that is needed is an intelli.
gent system for the storage Of the winter
rains. Even the Colorado and Mojave
Deserts, under an Intelligent system of
irrigation, would soon be storehouses Of
almost illimitable agricultural and hor.
ticultural wealth.

announcedss himself as friend of Kill.
rain, called on Colonel Colvin, editor of
the New York Clipper, and expressed
his Willingness to cover the 5000 that
the Sullivan party had put up.
He handed Colvin large doc
ument and afterwards 5000. Col
vim slowed these away in his desk.
The stranger anxiously asked for re-
ceipt for his money. Colvin said they
never gave receipts for such deposits.
that the fact of the deposit would be duly
chronicled in his paper. Further per-
suasion proving unavailing, Mr.. Roe
said he could not leave the money unless
he was given a receipt. Colvin opened
the drawer of his desk and took out the
envelope and handed it back to Roe.
Colvin states that the big document
was largely denial of SuIlivan's claim
to the championship of the world, and
made counter claim of the title for
Kilrain. 1t offered to make match
with Sullivan for the title and a stake OF
5000 q side; this was IS 900 less than
Sullivan's challenge intended, and 60
was not an acceptance of it. The
stipulations also included the diamond

FISHED FROM THE LAKE.
Finding of the Body of HaWex'
Second Daughter.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December 15.-The
body of Irene Hawes, the second daugh-
ter of Dick Hawes, was found in the lake
at Lake View this morning. The water
had been drained until only a foot or
two deep. The child wore a small slip
half covering the body, and hemp cord,
fastened to two heavy fish plates weigh
ing thirty pounds each, was fastened to
the babe. 1t was found near the point
where Mrs. Hawes' body was discovered.
The find caused no excitement, as the
people had expected for a week that it
would be found near where the mothers
body was discovered. When told that
the body of his other missing child had
been found, Hawes had nothing to say
except to ask in an Indifferent sort Of a
way where it was. He then refused to
answer any questions. No trouble is ex-
pected tonight, but the guard at the
jail has been increased as matter of
extra precaution.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-12-16

THERE is no question of the fact that
until lately rents were entirely too high
in Los Angeles. There was of course a
justification of this circumstance. 1t is
true that the tide OF travel had been
great beyond precedent, and that the inn
migration which settled here was abso-
lutely unparalleled. Los Angeles land
lords are not singular in the fact they
seek to get all the return they can upor
their investment. Probably many OF
them pushed their exactions beyond the
limits OF good sense. As a result, the
word went abroad that the stranger
within our gates was simply regarded as
being who ought to be spoliated
upon. While our hotel charges
have really never been anything
as great as those OF the hotels of
Spokane Falls and Port Townsend, at the
same time that our accommodations
have been inconceivably greater, with
climate thrown ia, ordinary room rents
and office and store rents have been out
of all reasonable standards here. Pro-
badly store and Office rents are still too
high. But as to room and house rents,
outside of the immediate business center
of the city, we are warranted in saying
that they are now comparatively low.
We have the authority Of one OF the best
real estate agents of Los Angeles for the
statement that comfortable houses
and rooms, within very short
radius of the business certer-in
other words, not more than fifteen
minutes ride from the Court House
can be leased for rates as low as prevail
in any city of the United States of any
thing approaching the size, to say moth
ing of the attractions, of Los Angeles.
This regime of lower rents is departure
in the right direction, and it ought to be
followed up in the very business center
of Los Angeles itself. There is no sense
in killing the goose that lays the golden
egg. Ten per cent. per annum is the
largest gross sum, taking the value of
the ground and the improvements COM
bined, that should be exacted from any
body. To look for more is 10 sacrifice
the public good to private greed.
