SAN Francisco, April 11.--A tele-
gram has been received at the health
office from Henry Webber, agent of
the Canadian Pacific Steamship line
at Victoria, to the effect that the
steamer Parthia has been free from
disease since leaving China, and ask
ing that the vessel be not subjected to
the quarantine rules in this port, as
the vessel clears from the Canadian
port for San Francisco with clean
bill OF health. DR.. d. E. Barger, the
health officer, replied to the COM
munication that: All steamers from
China be placed in quarantine on
their arrival in the bay, regardless of
where they have touched. The COM
munication further states that all
Chinese ports have been declared in
fected, and vessels arriving from in
fected ports are quarantined for Is
days. 1t was further suggested that
any business connected with interna-
tional complications must be referred
to the Secretary of State at Wash

water in the Vermillion river
rose higher than was ever known
before on Tuesday night, taking out
over 3 half a dozen bridges. No

Rights of Creditors.

New YORK, April 11.-Judge Ingra-
ham, in the Supreme Court to-day,
gave decision adjudging that the
ssignment which the great dry goods
house of Halsted, Haines & Co. made
in 1884, be set aside as deirauding the
rights of the creditors. This house
failed for over a million of dollars.
The creditors, through their counsel,
brought suit to set aside the assign
ment upon the ground that it was
made to defraud them. The case was
tried in 1885, but the Judge dismissed
the complaint, holding the assignment
to be valid. A second suit of the First
National bank of Port Chester was tried
with a similar result, and appeals were
made. The judgments were reversed
and new trials were ordered. The
cases came back for second trial
which was held in January last and
was decided in favor of the creditors.
The judge finds that the assignment
was not made with honest intent
that it was fraud on the creditors
and is therefore void. He holds that
the assignment was made to secure
the assignors themselves, and in addi-
ton to this he finds certain prefer
ences were made in excess by $l3 ZOO
of the amount actually due and there
fore tine creditors of the firm were de-
frauded of this amount.

the promise that she would be

attic troupe and supplied with cos
tunes. She went to Trenton, N. j.,
and stopped there several days at the
Windsor hotel. under the name Of
Mrs. Marshall and was joined by
Ryan and taken to New York, where
she is now secured in fiat on Broad
way. The arrests have created
profound social sensation. The
daughter has been missing ten weeks
and her mother has been searching
for her everywhere and most of the
prominent citizens here as well as the
pastors of the churches have been
interested in the hunt. The parties
were committed for hearing. Lieut..
Eaton who is in command here has
been notified to suspend Ryan pend
ing investigation. If charge is sus-
tanned, Lieut.. Eaton says: Ryan will
be dismissed from the service. The
prisoners are held on $40 900 bail.
Two OF Inspector Byrnes' detectives
found the missing Pittsburg girl in a
boarding house in Clinton place to-
day. To the inspector she told the
story OF meeting Ryan, who she knew
only as j. P. Marshall, at the house
of friend in Pittsburg. He repre-
sented himself as a theatrical agent,
and the girl, having longing to 60
on the stage, listened to his promises
of assistance, and consented to leave
her home. They went to Trenton, and
remained there in hotel several days,
living as man and wife. Ryan then
took her to house in New York, and
after few days left her. Since then
she has not seen him. When her
money was gone, she secured a posi-
ton as chorus singer in an opera COM
pany, and has remained with them
since. When told that her folks would
take her back, Carrie burst into tears
and promised to return. She started
for Pittsburg this evening.

Gladstone Indignant.

LONDON, April II. = Gladstone,
speaking at the National Liberal Club
tonight, criticised w. II. Smiths
reply to Sir Edward Watkins in the
House of Commons in refusing the
extension of local government in
Ireland. Gladstone said Smith
had entirely dispelled the brightest
idea Of two million loyalists. The
question was whether the Irish were
to be permitted to entertain and act
upon purely political opinion. The
Irish did not enjoy such privileges of
local government as exists in England,
yet they were to remain thus till they
abandoned an idea which in his
opinion was dearer to them than life.
1t was only natural that the Irish
should utilize everything in their
representative institutions to promote
their dearest purpose. He was very
agreeably surprised by the rapid
change of public opinion in England,
and thought Smiths declaration was
scandalous and dishonoring to the
English nation,

Important Decision,

New YORK, April 11.-Recorder
Smythe to- day rendered his decision
in the Gould-Sage matter. His honor
denied the application to submit the
complaint of the Kansas Pacific
bondholders to the Grand Jury.
Recorder Smythe in his opinion re-
counts at some length the history Of
the case and the proceedings taken
before ex-District Attorney MARITIME,
District Attorney Fellows and the last
Grand Jury, together with Judge Co..
ning's rulings Oh the statement of
facts presented to him. The Recorder
also recounted District Attorney Eel
lows oral statement of the proceed
ings had in the matter made in open
court to the Recorder in March last.
In concluding his decision, the Re-
corder says: "Upon the statement
of the facts such as has been
presented upon this occasion,
l would be doing very great
injustice it seems to me were l to
direct the same case upon the same
evidence and without even a sugges-
ton of either ignorance or misconcep-
ton on the part of the grand jury
who acted upon it to be submitted to
another body of grand jurors for the
purpose of reviewing the action OF
their predecessors. The practice OF
reviewing complaint before subse-
quent grand jury after the previous
grand jury have fully examined into
the facts of the case is not to be COM
mended. The accused and accusor
ought as a general rule to abide by
the decision of the first grand jury
who acted on the same charge.
Where the accusor or the friends
of the accused believe that the
first grand jury have mistaken their
duty (Which it is not even intimated
in this case has been done) it would
lead to disgraceful scramble be-
tween the enemies and friends OF the
accused which would be fatal to the
firm, steady and impartial admins
tration OF criminal justice, and it is
the duty of the Court to discontinue
the practice OF resubmitting case to
another grand jury, in the absence OF
any proof of either ignorance or mis-
conduct on the part of the former
grand jury. No ground having been
suggested by the District Attorney
which would authorize resubmis-
sion of the complaint herein to an
other grand jury, the application to
| do so must be denied.
