GOVERNOR WATERMAN is a unique off.
cial On February let, Matt Sullivan
was convicted of robbing a Chinaman,
and sentenced TO the Folsom Penitenti-
ary. 1t has since clearly appeared that the
robbery in question was not committed by
Sullivan, but by an individual named
Kirby. OF course, Sullivan would nat
urally expect that the Governor would
interpose a pardon to prevent further
suffering and injury. Folsom is a no.
toriously unhealthy place, and the death
rate is large. The officials cognizant Of
Sullivan's innocence have made ener.
getic representations to the Executive, but
that public functionary cannot be found,
and Sullivan still languishes in jail fol
another mans crime. Great is Water
man, and peculiar are his waysl

"KING" MCPHERSON.
How He Had n Good Time in HIS
Tight Little Island.

CHICAGO, April 18.-The Daily Neaos'
Washington special says: A very pretty
little story, which promises to develop
into an interesting trial. comes to Wash
ington from Alaska. 1t is to the effect
that about three years ago, q man
named MCPHERSON sailed from San
Francisco, and eventually landed on
one of the Aleutian Islands off
the coast of Alaska. Mr.. McPherson's g
entire outfit consisted of suit of clothes,
an American flag, and cheek enough for
a regiment, together with paper pur-
porting to have been signed by Attorney
General Garland, appointing him United
States Commissioner. AS soon as he
landed on the island he raised the Ameri-
can flag with great deal of ceremony,
took command of six hundred natives
and compelled them to address him as
king" Mcpherson. Each season he
exacted heavy tribute from the natives,
and altogether he seemed to have beer
having q lovely time. Things went
along very smoothly until a few
months ago, when the report is that he
had some difficulty with three of his
subjects, and fearing that there might be
a mutiny, he hanged three of the rebel
lious ones. A report of McPherson's
real character was sent to the depart
ment, and a special agent was sent to his
island to investigate the matter.
This agent recently reported the facts
to Secretary Window substantially as
they are given above. Now it is said a
revenue cutter will be sent to the island
for the purpose of arresting Mcpherson.
1t IS the intention OF the authorities TO
bring him to San Francisco and try him
Tor murder.

NATIONAL FRUIT PROSPECTS.
The malign Effect of the Interstate
Commerce Acc on California.

ST. LOUIS, April 1S.-The Republic will
print tomorrow report giving the fruit
and vegetable prospects Of the whole
country. The reports have all been
written during the present month by the
best informed parties in their respective
States. The peach cropis expected to be
the largest ever grown, the peach buds
being alive at this time in every State in
the Union, and the season being now 80
far advanced that the crop is assured in
the West and South, and, although it is
too early to safely predict a full yield in
the East, a good crop is expected. The
crop of apples will be much
smaller than that of last year, this
being an foff year" for the crop
at many of the big shipping points.
The strawberry crop is notnearly up
to the average, yet it is much larger than
that of 1888, which was the lightest in
many years. The pear crop will aver
age light, through its great enemy, the
"blight." The grape crop in the west
and south has been favored with such a
mild winter that but little injury has
been inflicted, and a yield nearly double
that of last year is looked for. The gen.
eral vegetable crop, which is attracting
more of the attention of labor and inves-
tors generally, especially throughout the
Southern States, is reported fully up to
the average.
Florida is now the most formidable
rival of all the Southern States
as shipper of early fruits and
vegetables, getting into every market
east and west before any other State by
several weeks. Her orange crop promises
to be larger than that of last year, the
heaviest on record.
California, it seems, is drying and
evaporating her fruits to much greater
extent since the Inter. State Commerce
law raised the rates to distant markets,
yet the almost unprecedented low prices
prevailing for dried and evaporated
fruits now and for months past will dis
courage operators and reduce the amount
of fruit SO saved largely in all the States.

Mr.. G.. E. MACKEY, of the late Mackey-
Burnham Investment Company, returned
the other day from visit to Seattle of a
couple of months duration. He left Los
Angeles for the purpose of engaging in
business in Seattle, having been induced
to do go by the fattering reports which
reached this city of the tremendous de-
velopment which was taking place there.
Mr.. Mackey is very shrewd real estate
operator, hailing originally from Denver,
and was more than willing to take hold
in Seattle if he had found an inviting
field for operations. AS a matter OF
fact, he discovered that real estate is
higher in Seattle than in Los Angeles,
alth ough this city is four times as large
as the former. The only established
source of wealth in this Washington Ter
ritory town is lumber, although great
claims are made on other heads. The
excitement which has existed there is
already subsiding, prices are greatly
inflated and the inevitable result
will be depreciation. For the pur-
poses of his business Mr.. Mackey says
that he arrived at least six months too
late. He unhesitatingly expresses the
opinion that real estate is lower in Los
Angeles city and county to-day, -ela-
lively to our advantages, than in any
other region of the Pacific Coast. He
adds that, with the exception of San
Francisco, he has seen no place where
there is as much business activity as
here. The northern boom has evidently
reached IFS pefihelion, and the real field
Tor investment and speculation is in
Southern California.

A QUEER PROCEEDING.
why Special officer HinkIe wa
Summarily Discharges.

Dl6Cnat&e0s
At the meeting of the Police Commits.
sioners on Wednesday afternoon the
Chief reported that he had dropped w.
B. Hinckle, one of the specials, from the
service, for the reason that he had as.
sisted Constable Fred Smith in making
a fan-tan raid last Monday evening.
The Commission sustained him in his
action, it being held that man who was
in the service as policeman mad no
business to be acting under the orders of
any other officer than the Chief of Po-
lice.
1t appears that the case had some fea-
lures which make it especially hard for
Mr.. Hinckle. In the first place, he was
not on duty at the time, but was merely
wandering about in Chinatown as a pri-
vate citizen. The first he knew of the
raid, he heard police whistle and ran
In the direction OF the sound. Smith
and Bosqui had about fifteen of the Chi
namen in room and number of them
were escaping. The Constable then
called upon Hinckle to assist him to pre-
vent the man from getting away.
Hinckle held the door shut while the
players were fastened together by the
pigtails. Then, at the continued in.
sistence of the constable, he companied
the party to the jail.
Constable Smith says that he called on
as he would on any citizen. and
as the law allows him to do. If Hinckle
had refused to help he would be liable to
q fine or imprisonment, according to the
Penal Code, Section 150. There has al
ways existed perfect good feeling be-
tween the constables and police and they
have not hesitated to assist one another
10 making arrests, especially when there
IS any trouble.
Mr.. Hinckle proposes to have these
eatures OF the case presented to the Po-
ice Commission at the next meeting by
IN attorney and ask that his discharge
Do reconsiderad.

THERE is a quite universal protest
amongst the property-holders of Los
Angeles against the inroa6 on the city
treasury involved in the creation OF q
Deputy Chief of Police. Chief Burns
now has secretary of his own at a
salary of 1925 month. In addition,
there is Secretary to the Police, an
entirely different official. He attends to
the records and to the preparing of cases
for the Police magistrates. Then there
are three clerks in the Police Office, who
take cognizance of the prisoners, take
charge of their valuables, etc. Next
comes the Captain of the Police. There
is q conductor to the patrol wagon, and
two other patrol wagon officials. There
are now three Police Sergeants, with a
force of only ninety men, as against the
two which were found sufficient when
the force numbered one hundred officers.
Surely, all these officials ought to be
able to run the department.

ing it is dangerous business. A tenn
porary bridge has been erected, but it is
not safe. 1t is believed the majority OF
the settlers will camp tonight beside this
stream.
Captain Hays broke up Camp Price at
noon, and is following with his cavalry.
His orders are to camp tonight at Salt
Creek Fork, and to take up the line OF
march tomorrow for the Oklahoma line.
Camp will be struck by the soldiers just
across the line, and Captain Hays will
picket his men along the Oklahoma line
as far as they will reach. His picket line
will be Joined by line of soldiers from
Caldwell, aud the boomers will be kept
at bay until the hour OF noon arrives.
Three miles of road from Arkansas
river along the Ponca trail, is in fright
full condition, and it was discouraging
for the soldiers, but these men are not
made of stuff to turn back. Difficulties
of all kinds are met and overcome. A
most neighborly feeling exists and each
renders the other all the assistance
possible.
Captain Hays, who has kept the
! boomers at bay, says he never saw a
more orderly set of men. He fully ex-
pected to see an element that would
cause trouble. The Indian Mission
| School, half mile from Ponca trail,
came in body to witness the start, and
men and women on horseback, from
Arkansas City, galloped along the line Of
wagons and waved their handkerchief:

The standard OH GRAB.

PITTsBURG. April 1S.-A Lima, Ohio,
special says: The remaining stockhold-
ers of the Ohio Oil Company, who did not
sell out yesterday to the Standard, were
to-day notified that if they wished to sell
they could obtain $40 per 100 for their
stock. Certified checks to the amount of
$7S5, 900 passed through one of the banks
to-day, in payment for this property.
This not only gives the Standard con-
troll, but makes them the owner of the
territory. The Union Oil Company sold
their territory to the Standard to-day, the
price paid being $27, 1000.

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION
Opinions of Leading Men on
its Solution.
MUST BE SETTLED BY THE SOUTH
A Government by Negroes Will Never
be Tolerated by the White
Citizens.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.l

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-The Enquirer
will publish, tomorrow, interviews
which it has collected with prominent
politicians of the Southern States in an
swer to the questions, "What is the
Southern question ?" and "How should
it be met to produce the greatest good to
the South?" The responses nearly all
evoke the same sentiment, that the race
problem is the great one to be solved,
and that the South should be allowed to
manage her own affairs, without inter-
ference.
Among the most prominent gentlemen
from whom replies were received are
Governor Richardson, of South Caro-
lima, Governor Lee, of Virginia,
Governor Buckner, of Kentucky,
Attorney General Miller. of Mis-
sissippi, and Lieutenant Governor
Mauldin, of South Carolina. The tenor
of their replies is contained mainly in
that of Governor Richardson, who says:
1.-The Southern question is the race
problem-shall the African or the Cau-
casjan predominant? The solution is in
the strict avoidance by the general gov
eminent of any distinctively Southern
policy, and in leaving to the States them
selves the management of their own do
mestic affairs"
Governor Buckner, of Kentucky, pro-
tested that there is no southern question.
Such unpatriotic, sectional agitation,
whether originating in the North or the
South, should not be encouraged, and the
injury resulting from such agitation
would be reduced to minimum If the
people of each State would continue to
attend to their own affairs, and unite in
supporting the general government in its
Just exercise of all it's legitimate powers.
AttorneyG General Miller, OF Missis-
! sippi, said that the contrast between the
negro and white governments had been
SO decidedly in favor of the latter that
the white people are determined there
shall be no return to the former. In
deed, a military despotism would be pre-
ferred. When Interstate judgment, in
stead Of passion and prejudice, shall con-
, troll the Southern negro, then the whole
question will be solved.
Lieutenant-G Governor Mauldin of South
, Carolina saws the Federal Government
can help the South by appointing to Of
flee men of character and capacity, by
dealing generously in the matter of inter-
national improvement, and by refunding
the cotton tax. "In other Words" says
he, ''let the South alone"

Railroad managers i'm Council.

CHICAGO, April 18-The managers OF
lines in the Western Passenger Associa-
