The telegraph yesterday forwarded a
large cargo of Goals to Newcastle in send
ing us the episode in Thomas H. Plythe's
career about third claimant turning up
in the shape of Flora Perry Blythe, a
natural daughter Of the dead San Fran
cisco millionaire. As Flora and her
came out here from England
several years since to put in their claim
to the estate, there is hardly any fresh
ness in the news telegraphed with 80

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CAIRO, December 14.-In the letter re.
ceived at Suakin from Osman Digna,
to have contained the announce
ment that Emin Pasha and white trav-
eler presumably Stanley had fallen
into the hands of the Mahdi, there were
enclosed copies Of dispatch from the
Dervish leader at Lado to Khalifa Pasha
giving the date of Emin Pasha's sur
render as October 10th; and letter to
Emin Pasha from the Khedive, which
the latter handed to Henry M. Stanley
when at Cairo.
THE CAPTIvEs' DANGER.
LONDON. December 14.--It is rumored
that Osman Digna in his letter expressed
a willingness to surrender Emin Pasha
and his white companion provided that
Egypt would agree to aba ndon Suakin.
If this proposal is not accepted it is be-
lieved that both captives will be killed.
The British Cabinet is now discussing
the. situation.
In the House of Commons this after
noon, Smith, the Government leader,
said that as far as known the letter writ
ten by Osman Digna announces the sur
render of Emin Pasha and a white
traveller. The Government had no means
of knowing whether these allegations
we're true.
PROOFS OF sTANLEY's CAPTURE.
Along with his letter Osman Digna
sent several Snider cartridges, which he
alleged were taken from the white
traveller. The Zanzibar men in Stanley's
expedition were armed with Snidel
rifles, but there were none in possession
of the dervishes.
General Grenfell recognized the letter
which Osman Dlgna enclosed as the
original one which he had drafted for the
Khedive. Thus Stanley's capture is vir.
tually beyond doubt.
The Emin Relief Expedition Commit
tee are doubtful of the genuineness oi
Osman Digna's letter. They suggest
that the Khedive's letter may be copy
stolen at Cairo, but they think it more
likely that Stanley sent some OF hit
runners to Emin with letters and the
runners were captured. In any case
they are hopeful that even if Emin is 6
captive Stanley is still free.

SAUKIN, December I4-Osman Digna'l
letter was reply to Major Rundle's re
quest of last August for news of Emir
Pasha. The letter asserts that the Mahd
has conquered the whole of the Equator

THERE has been no time since Los An.

THERE has been no time since Los An
there has been so much solid work of de-
velopment under way as now. People
who own valuable lands have come to
the sensible conclusion that the best
thing they can do with them is to plant
them in orchards, vines or the cereals.
At no time has any season promised bet
ter horticultural or agricultural results
than the present. The nearly four mil
lion acres of this county are capable oil
astonishing results in the line of produc.
tion. A man who owns lands that, with
a reasonable amount of industry, can be
made to yield from $3.50 to $500 an acre
won't want to part with them at any
price if he knows when he is
we'll off. The HERALD is Just now
engaged in the pleasing labor of collect.
ing statistics which will show, first, our
enormous possibilities of remunerative
production; and, second, that the talk
about the high price of lands hereabouts
is mere leather and prunella. There are
ranches in Los Angeles county which
can be bought at from $l5 to $50 an acre
which are every whit as well worth $500
an acre as eq uivalent lands which bring
those figures around San Jose and Hay
wards. We say equivalent lands, but
we are wrong in using that term. These
cheap Los Angeles lands will not only
grow the fruits and cereals which right
fully make those of Santa Clara
county valuable, but they will
yield luxuriant crops of all the
subtropical and some OF the tropical
zones as we'll. There are ranches, like
the Cerritos, the Alamitos and a dozen
others, which could be bought at COM
paratively trifing lump sum and which
could be subdivided and sold at an enor-
nous profit, and yet at figures which
would enable a really industrious truck
gardener or chickt n rancher to clear his
purchase with the proceeds Of his first
years crop. And yet these lands are
gridironed with railways and within
trifing distance of city of eighty.fve
thousand people. These are the facts
standing out in silhouette against the
les of multitude and magnitude that are
oeing circulated to our prejudice by
,nvious rivals.

WHILE it is not matter of vital mo-
ment to Angelef1os, it is worthy of note
that away up at Spokane Falls, an ambi-
tious young city of, according to even
sanguine estimates, eleven thousand
souls, the prices per front foot of prop
erty on the principal streets are as high
If not higher than in Los Angeles. We
know OF no transaction in real estate in
this city at higher figure than 81, 500 q
front foot, and yet that is fashionable
figure in Spokane Falls. Yet, as a mat
ter of fact, the city of Los Angeles is
already one of the greatest railway CEN
ters in the world, the variety of produc-
tion of the adjoining country is simply
without limit, and transcontinental lines
of transportation are 80 numerous here
as almost to tax the memory. Ninety.
nine travelled men out of hundred
will freely admit that the climate of the
boasted Riviera of Italy is as nothing
compared to ours, and yet when we dare
to refer to this unquestioned meteorolog-
ical preeminence we are denounced as
anxious to sell Climate" The Can
sdian Pacific railways are moving
heaven and earth to settle up the north
arn territory. As = result of their dill
gent efforts myriads of people are ret
down in the snow and slush who will
surely and most happily for themselves

jurisdiction OF foreign power. Perhaps
the United States would also have some
thing to say on the subject. If there is
any virtue in the Monroe doctrine this |
country would seriously object to the
planting OF French protectorate over
portion of the Isthmus, and thus exer-
else virtual control Of a great CONNER
cial gateway OF nations, as this canal
would become. We cannot conceive
how the proposed reorganization of the
scheme, with the French government at
its head, could be permitted unless there
were something in the nature of joint
protectorate with the United States es-
tablished over the canal. This is prob
lem which will tax the invention of
statesmen in both countries to solve.
In the meantime there is strong pub
lie opinion of the intelligent sort in the
United States which looks with entire
disfavor upon any European nation gain
ing a foothold on the continent of the
character that would inevitably result
even from the mere commercial control
by company of its citizens OF great
linter-oceanic canal. This opinion is
strongly directed toward a diversion
of the traffic from the Panama
canal, even if that project were a sue
cess, by building an American canal at
some other point on the continent. The
Nicaragua project is the most prominent
of those that havc been considered but
all believe that the estimates heretofore
made upon this scheme are as far
below what would be the true
cost as those Of Mr.. De Lesseps
have proven to be at Panama. The
Tehuantepec route would he far better
one for American commerce than either
of the others, on account of its more
notherly location. But the novelty Of
the plan proposed by the late Mr.. Eads
in order to render this route practicable
has raised many doubts about it's feast
bility. The canal could be opened
to shipping to the head of the Coatza
coalcos river at Minatitlan at compare
lively small cost. From the head of the
Gulf of Tehuantepec on this side, cana
could also be dug to the mountains at 6
moderate outlay. The difficult portion
OF the work would be to cut the proposed
ship railroad through the backbone O
the continent, together with the
costly operation OF creating grea
basins and dry docks in which to lift the
ships upon the cradles that woult
traverse the railway. Mr.. Eads was
successful engineer. He devoted the las
years Of his life to the study of thi
} problem, and it is believed he perfected
it to an extent that satisfied competen
judges Of its entire feasibility.
Should either this or the Nicaragu,
canal be seriously undertaken, ant
either of them be brought to successful
J completion, the Panama Canal would bt
de trop, and even if finished, it woult
} prove failure financially. One cana
across the American Continent will d.
, the traffic of the world, and we believ,
that whether the Panama project fails o
goes ahead the United States is ultimate
ly bound to have such passage unde
American control. That is not only
r commercial but military necessitv.

Lock Of Hair.

1t is singular that the hair of the
human head should always have been
held as something associated with
secret acts. Not tospeak of the way
in which we cherish the lock shorn
from the dead, or the way in which
the lover treasures his mistress curl,
the hair has long had place in cere-
monial acts of sacrifice. As the
strength of Samson, according to the
old Bible narrative, was in his hair,
SO it would appear that Achilles felt
himself still giving of his life and
strength when he cut off his yellow
locks to cast them on the pyre of
Patroclus. Constantine had the hair
of his son Heraclius dispatched to
the pope as evidence that he begged
the pope to become the lads adopted
father. And as late MS the Eighth
century people of rank were in the
habit Of waiting, before cutting the
hair of their child tor the first time,
until the cutting could be done by
some individual whom they partic-
ularly wished to honor, or whose
patronage they desired tosecure, the
act constituting the individual asort
of spiritual parent. Harper's Bazaar.
