one; and, were his record that OF an
American, he would have been described
as having gone up like a rocket and
come down like stick. 1t is never easy,
however, to tell when the career of a
Frenchman has ended. When Louis
Napoleon landed on the coast OF France
with live eagle tied to string, and let
it loose on Gallo ground, it was thought
that his incarceration in the fortress OF
Ham had ended him for all time. The
incident was regarded as supreme
fiasco, and yet his real anti.climax did
not come for a number OF decades later,
and not until he had been President and
Emperor Of the French. The situation
as respects Boulanger, however, is COM
plicated by the fact that his health is not
at all robust his frequent fainting spells.
which are said to arise from wounds re-
ceived in battle, causing grave anxiety
to his more intimate friends. A man
who is expected to enact stormy and
revolutionary role ought to possess. one
would think, the constitution of the First
Napoleon, who was frequently known to
ride hundred miles on horseback in q
single day, and whose tremendous vital
ity and endurance were regarded with
mingled terror and admiration by his
personal staff.

THE BLACK DIAMOND.
She sails Into Port at VictOria-Her
Captains story,

VICTORIA, B. c., August 3.-The
schooner Black Diamond, reported seized
by the Triumph which arrived on Sun
day evening last, sailed into the harbor
last evening. Captain Thomas came
ashore and reported that Lieutenant Tut
tie, three officers and two boat crews
boarded him from the American cutter
Rush the 11th of July. He sighted
the Rush about five miles away
and Immediately made sail, but
was overhauled in an hours time. He
kept on his way, and after three times
ordering him to lay to, the Rush steamed
across his bows, compelling him to do 30.
Lieutenant Tuttle told him he was under
seizure, and demanded his papers. These
Captain Thomas refused to give, and
after repeated refusals Lieutenant
Tuttle ordered the locker broken
open and took charge of the papers.
An American bluejacket was then placed
aboard and given written instructions to
take the schooner to Sitka and deliver
her over to the Collector. The Captain
and mate were detained and the crew set
at liberty. The Rush then steamed
away. Captain Thomas took the vessel
to Ounalaska harbor to see if any English

Rush four days after the seizure,
but he was not hailed by
her. Finding no protection at Oun-
alaska, he sailed out of Behring's Sea
and on to Victoria, arriving here this
evening. John Hawkins, the American
seaman on board, reported to the Con-
sulate the facts and handed over the in.
structions. The matter has been wired
to Washington.

The Boyle Heights Jubilee.

There have seldom been more enthusi-
astic demonstrations in Los Angeles
than the celebration of the formal in
suguration of the Cable Company's
traffic to Boyle Heights yesterday. The
growth of that interesting section has
been one of the marvels of Southern
California. 1t has gone forward on
. career of progress and prosperity
in spite Of very defective facilities
of communication with the heart Of the
city. The great oaks which from small
acorns grow afford the only fitting smile
to characterize the ever increasing
growth on the east and southeast side
of the river. Having accomplished SO
much under difficulties, it is hard to put
q period to the advance of this
charming quarter. The Gable Rail
way is destined to increase indefinitely
the suburban portions of Los Angeles.
With splendid viaduct and thoroughly
equipped cable road, the Boyle Heights
region is but in the initial Of it's career
Gaily ,decked cars, bounteously spread
boards, oratory of high grade, and
hilarity unbounded, fittingly united to
celebrate the advent of that great
stimulant to settlement and pros
perity, the Boyle Heights branch
of the Los Angeles Gable Road.
1t requires bat slight aid of the imag-
ination to see this superb line extended
to the heart of the Laguna ranch, and to
conjure up in the minds eye an extern
sion Of the elegant homes that now
crown the bluff east of the Los Angeles
river to the northern banks of the San
Gabriel.

THE extraordinary collapse of Bou-

would, one would naturally suppose,
place that peculiar compound of soldier
and statesman under total and perma-

he still has multitudes Of followers
amongst the more intelligent and revolu-

Many Angelefios remember the young

a visit after the celebration of the Cen

THE Tribune delights to illustrate tW,

The Tribune delights to illustrate two
charming propositions, viz, Glow We
Apples SWIM" and the Fly on the
Chariot Wheel of one of Esop's ingenious
fables. In its own infinite conceit it has
already carried the bonds, the contracts
have all been let out to the amount of
81, ,280, 900, with more to follow, the con.
tractors are already importing their
Italian and Hungarian laborers, and the
"boodle" is being placed where it will
do the most good. Undismayed by the
failure of its most notable literary effort,
its guide book to the Santa Clara placer
mines, it still enjoys the pleasures of
hope, and fondly believes that the fact
that it advocates the wasting Of the Los
Angeles sewage makes the success of the
bonds an assured thing. ALI the same,
the bond proposition is already defeated,
and the occasional opinionated ass who
thinks they have chance of being voted
will be able to drink all the sewage that
will pass TO the ocean by way of the
Ballona without serious detriment to his

THE naval demonstration at Spithead,
which will be given in honor of the visit
of the Emperor Wilhelm to his grand.
mother, will probably be the grandest
marine spectacle ever seen on earth, and
yet it is questionable whether it will
excite as much enthusiasm as would a
display of the "hearts of oak" which at
the beginning of the century, under Lords
Nelson and Collingwood, won euch
superb victories for England. Now, as
then, however, Britannia rules the waves.
and even more distinctively now than
then, for at the beginning of the nine.
teenth century the little navy of the
United States could be easily outnum-
bered by that of England, but could not
be outfought. Sesmanship was in those
days At high premium, while the naval
tactician was just springing into being.
In a reference to the formidable
armament of the Benbow, which
will in all likelihood figure in
the Spithead demonstration, we said
in the HERALD of yesterday that
her guns were capable of throwing a
six hundred pound she'll thirteen miles.
In this We were in error. The Benbow
is said to be able to hurl shell weigh
ing eighteen hundred pounds, containing
nine hundred pounds of explosive matter,
that distance. Such missile, coming
in contact with the most robust individ-
ual, would easily disturb the assimila-
tion of his food into the ordinary whole
some chyme and chyle. The young Ger.
man Emperor is said to be ambitious of
building big iron-clads. The Spithead
pageant will doubtless increase this ten
dency.

cred around the tables. A rush on
horseback was made which scattered
the crowd right and left, but
by the prompt action of agent Nc
Lsughlin the attempted disturbance was
quelled. A strong force of police were
soon placed in position, and several of
the young braves were taken into cus-
tody, after which Sitting Bull retired to
his camp, followed by his band. This
little episode over, the Indians again
congregated about the tables, and sign
ing went on as rapidly as four clerks
could identify and inscribe the names.
At this writing about 400 names have
been taken, and signing is still progress

THE extreme devotion of the Repub.

THE extreme devotion of the Repub'
lican party to the Civil Service policy is
we'll illustrated by the reorganization of
the Pension Bureau under Corporal
Tanner. When that gallant Republican
veteran took charge of this department
of the government the Medical Division
consisted of twenty.six Republicans and
sixteen Democrats. There is only one
Democrat in that body now, and he is
probably only kept there for dress
parade. Mr.. Cleveland and his Pension
Commissioner, Gen. Black, put PARTISAN
ship to one side, and contented them
selves with simply filling vacancies
during four years. The corporal, how
ever, very probably thinks that he re-
quires medical men after his own heart
when it comes to railroading bis COM
rades into small fortunes on the grounds
of physical disabilities Heretofore never
discovered. Amongst the notable ex-
ploits Of the new Pension Commits
sioner WAS the payment, during two
weeks, to two veterans, of SIG, 600 each,
arrears of pensions. 1t was this gay and
gallant administration of his Office which
has made Secretary Noble appoint a
committee to examine into the affairs of
his subordinate. Whitewash is quite
cheap in Washington, as elsewhere, but
the mere fact that his own political asso-
ciates are getting restive may cause the
valiant corporal to slow up little and
allow few dollars of the surplus to re.
main in the Treasury. The general
sentiment is cordial to the gallant de-
tenders of the Union, but it is felt by
the Harrison administration that it
might be bad policy after all to allow
Tanner to replace a surplus by deficit.

ENaLAND's short wheat crop will put
many a dollar into the pockets of the
California farmers this year if the viii
lainous devisers Of corners" let the
producers alone. The result of such
deals as were engineered by Flood and
Mackey and "Old Hutch" is to cause
Russian grain to pour into Liverpool, and
to produce disastrous collapse in prices

Chicago and San Francisco. Barley, too,
is steadily advancing, and If the specu-

Have We a Tite Barnacle Here-
4bOuts.

At late meeting of the State Viticul-
tural Board great dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed at the action of Mr.. Pierce, the
expert sent out by the government to in
vestigate into the nature of the vine
pest which has already done so much
damage to the vines in Southern Califor-
mia. That gentleman appears to have
concentrated his whole attention upon
the Santa Ana valley. Mr.. shorb stated
at the meeting of the State Vitieultursl
Board held in San Francisco Wednesday
that he had addressed polite note to the
representative of the National Agricul-
tursl Department, but without results.
He added: 81 regretted that he (Mr.
"Pierce) did not come; because, even if
she derived no benefit from our investi-
''gations, our failures would have been
''of use in enabling him to reach re-
"sult. He is working in Santa Ana,
"where there are very few healthy vines
s'to eee." The President of the State
Viticultural Commission, Mr.. G. A.
Wetmore, supplemented Mr.. Shorb's
remarks by the following: 81 would like
"the public to understand that Mr..
"Pierce was sent here when this Com
Emission asked the Agricultural De-
"partment to send an expert. He has
''located himself where the disease
Started, and where nearly all the vines
"are destroyed, instead of investigating
'the region in the San Gabriel valley,
''where the healthy and the diseased
"vines, growing side by side, can be
compared" Mr.. Pierce seems to have
caught the fine Circumlocution Office
trick of "How Not To Do It." 1t is to
be hoped that he will ungraciously un,
bend before he leaves this region, and
condescend to look at some of the vine
yards which really contain an instructive
object lesson.
