Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SACRAMENTO, June 30.-The Catholic
Cathedral Of the Holy Sacrament was
dedicated today with imposing ceremo-
MES. The early trains from neighboring
towns and cities brought large crowds Of
visitors to witness the services. The
Cathedral is the richest and most inn
posing church edifce on the Pacific
Coast, and has been under course of con-
struction over three years.
The actual seating capacity of the Ca
thedral is 1000. The prevailing color of
the interior frescoing is celestial blue;
the dome decorations are all dependent
upon some sacred incident or suggestion
of the holy writer's. The stained glass
windows are three magnificent pieces of
work. There are now in course of COM
pletion in Rome four large oil paintings
representing events in Bible history,
which will adorn the walls.
The ceremony of dedication COM
menced with masses at 5 O'Clock. The
regular services began about noon, when
the exterior of the building was sprinkled
and blessed by Bishop Monsgue, assisted
| by the local and visiting clergy. Follow
ing this was solemn Pontficial high
mass. The Right Reverend Bishop
Monague acted as celebrant. Rev.
Father Boucherd preached a sermon to
the Young Mems Institute of this city.
The students were present in body, at
tended by representatives of the Institute
from Marysville and Nevada City.
The interior OF the cathedral was beau
tifully decorated with palms and flowers
during the dedication services. A select
choir of thirty voices furnished music.
Upon opening the doors the crush was 30

THE courts have decided that the act
creating the county of Orange is consti-
tutional, and our Southern neighbors
have, consequently, clear road before
them. The HERALD has never doubted
that this would be the issue OF the con-
troversy. The new countv has a most
auspicious future ahead. 1t comprises a
goodly region, as yet only partially de-
veloped, but admitting of tremendous
showing in the next decade. II it shall
grow as rapidly in the future as in the
past it will be one of the great centers OF
wealth and population on the American
continent.-fL. A. Herald.
Now that is gracefully done. After the
bitter, uncompromisjng and determined
fight made against county division by the
HERALD, we were not prepared for this
acknowledgement. 1t knew the fight we
were making was legal and right, and
yet, for pure selfishness' sake, it fought.
Well, We are astonished.-[S Santa Ana
Blade.
The Blade misses the truth in This.
The HERALD fought county division on
principle at all points up to the declara
ton of the will of the people. After the
people had expressed their opinion, the
HERALD was done. That was gracefully
done indeed but it is not at all astonish
ing. 1t is the HERALD's way to recog
nize to the full the will of the sovereign
people.

How IL Rains I'm China.

SAN Francisco, June 30.-The steamer
Rio de Janeiro arrived late tonight from
Hongkong and Yokoham. One of the
most destructive transforms in the his
tory of Horgkong occurred May goth
and 30th. The total rainfall for thirty
three hours was twenty-nine and half
inches. At times the fall measured nearly
three inches per hour. Hongkong papers
do not venture to estimate the loss to
private property, such as residences,
stores, ETC., but place the estimate loss
to public property at about two hundred
Thousand dollars. There was scarcely a
house within an area of thirty-two square
miles that did not suffer. Fifteen lives
are known to have been lost when the
steamer sailed for America.
The storm temporarily cut off the large
Ty Tam water supply, and the lower por.
ton OF the town is still suffering from
a serious dearth OF drinking water. A
week after the storm the city
presented the appearance of having
suffered subterraneous upheaval
and subsistence. During the first
part OF the week little progress was
made with the work of removing the
debris. Loud complaints therefore arose
about the serious dangers to health to
which the citizens were exposed by the
choking of drains, and the Government
was forced to call in the aid of the mill
tary.
All the roads and streets in the colony
were turned into mud heaps, and innum-
cradle shops and dwellings were flooded.
Almost every minute during the storm
vivid flashes of lightning lit up the
streets, which were seen more to resem-
BILE the bed of river than a road
in the center of town. Water pipes
burst at every corner; all the roads were
cut up almost beyond recognition, and
level roads were piled with earth end
loosened stones and the debris OF the
streets 80 as to be almost impossible.
Eight men were killed by lightning in

DIVERSIFIED farming is the demand of
the hour in Los Angeles county. For
years the handling of sheep and cattle
engrossed the attention of our ranchers.
Then came wine and brandy making and
oranges and lemons. Within the past
decade the sheep industry has been re-
placed by grain growing on colossal
scale. We have of course made great
progress in the cereals. AS corn region
this county, as it was constituted before
division, was the first by long odds on
the Pacific Coast, and corn is still rec
commended by the fact that it commands
q good price. But the farmer ought not
to be content with one specially, or with
all of the cereals. He ought to raise
hogs, cattle and poultry, to make butter
and cheese. Every farm ought to have
several varieties of fruit and vegetables
growing in their season. Surplus barley,
corn and wheat ought to be marketed in
the shape of fat veal, lambs, chickens,
ducks, turkeys, and 80 on to
the end of the chapter. Three
or four years after the adoption
of this diversified sy stem of farming the
ranchero would be astonished at the way
money was becoming more plentiful and
at the good prices he would receive even
for his grain The large sums we now
send out of the city and country for the
necessaries Of life, for hams, bacon,
poultry, butter and cheese, would be
kept at home, and 60 towards vitaliziDg

As THE new City Hall approaches COM

As THE new City Hall approaches COM
pletion, it becomes more and more evil
dent that no great architectural beauty
has been attained. The crumbling of
the pressed brick in the tower, and in
other portions of the building, even if its
stability is in no whit impaired, is very
unsightly drawback, while the bricks
themselves exude an alkali or other dis.
coloration, which is much to be regretted
The general opinion is that there is no
danger of any portion of the edifce
crumbling, but where over two hum
dred thousand dollars of the public
moneys have been expended, greater ra-
suits ought to have been reached. The
exact figures, we believe, are $20S, 800,
which ought, in these days of cheap
LABOR and material, to have assured US
something that would have extorted the
admiring recognition of citizens and
strangers.

THE trains on both railways to Santa
Monica were crowded by pleasure
seekers yesterday, and the Arcadia Ho-
tel and other resorts are filling up
rapidly. Owing to the exceedingly
agreeable weather which has prevailed
in Los Angeles and the interior until the
other day, there has been very little
resort to the watering places. Mean
while, great improvements are under
way on all hands. The project of build
ing a great iron pier at Santa Monica is
taking shape and bids fair to become o
fact accomplished in the near future.
Great work is being done at Redondo
Beach, and by next fall Los Angeles will
have a splendid new seaside hotel, new
railway and first.class shipping appoint
ments there and the plan being to run
hourly trains to Redondo, that resort
will undoubtedly become a prime favor
ite, and will be availed of for residence
purposes, both in the winter and sum-
mer. Santa Catalina Island has also
become leading attraction and will
grow more and more popular. Long
Beach does not propose TO be distanced,
and renewed attention will be attracted
to the place by the session of the Cha
tauquans, which will open there in few
days.

Taxes ON salt.

In every country where there has been
tax on salt, cruelty and oppression
have followed in its train. In France,
under the Government monopoly known
as the gabeles, the law was most severe.
In the fifteenth century French history
shows that hundreds of men were exc
cuted for salt smuggling. In the time OF
Louis XIV. almost every year saw some
three hundred salt smugglers sent to the
galleys for life. In China, where salt is
one Of the most important sources of i'm
perial revenue, breach of the salt laws
involves fearful penalties. The offenders
are sometimes fayed alive, their snug
Cling junks are confscated and sawn
asunder, while a crucified or impaled
boatman is lashed to the mast aa warn
ing to others. The Chinese jails are full
of men lingering or under trial, or in vain
hope of being brought to trial, for offenses

with fewer drawbacks in Los Angeles
county than in almost any spot on the
globe. On twenty acre plot the farmer
can raise nearly every product on the
face of the earth, the range embracing
everything grown in the temperate,
about everything which fourishes in the

supposed to be specialties of the tropical
zone. The market, and a renunerative
one, is just at hand for his products, and
an assured competency awaits him after
a few years. labor. The field is an
especially inviting one in all lines OF
dairy products, with the ability to raise
from six to eight crops of alfalfa yearly.

A GREAT ROAD.
The Mort hern Pacific an d Its Cana
dian Relations.

dian Relations.
ST. PAUL, June 30.-T. F. Cakes. Pres
ident of the Northern Pacific, in an inter
view in this city, denies emphatically
that his company proposes to withdraw
from its Canadian relations. He Gays
they are building rapidly through Mon
tana, and admits that negotiations are
under way looking toward the purchase
OF the Northern Central railway.
"Did you see an article in which an
affiliation between the Northern Pacific
and Grand Trunk roads was predicted ?"
was asked.
"That was the great inducement to buy
the Wisconsin Central. By that road
we get close connections at Chicago with
the Grand Trunk. We desired closer re-
lations with that road, and have now got
them. Yor see, by these connections
We have road straight across the CONT
nent, from Portland, Me-, Halifax, N. s.,
and Montreal on the st. Lawrence, and
to the Pacific Coast. This gives us q
powerful system of roads,"
Col. James Mcknight, counsel for the
road, made a similar statement.
The Northwest Central road, which
the Northern Pacific proposes to pur.
chase, and which is as yet only very par
TALLY built, runs northwest from Mani
toba, penetrating the vast wheat fields o.
the Saskatchewan valley, the finest
wheat growing district in the world, and
terminating at Admonton. When this
belongs to the Northern Pacific and
Manitoba, it will strike at Skeena Bay
This is what is known as the "Macken
zie route" which was advocated by Hon
Alex. Mackenzie in the days when be
was Premier Of Canada. 1t is very
feasible route. The Canadian Govern
ment has already made extensive grants
to the Northwest Central road.

THE confidence with which the mana
gers of the Sullivan-Kilrain prize fight
are defying the authorities is one of the
curiosities of the law as administered in
the United States. The announcement
is made that five thousand spectators
will be on hand, spd yet the officers of
justice are expected to be conveniently
blind, and they doubtless will be 30.
The Governor of Louisiana has thought
the matter Of sufficient Importance to
justify him in issuing a proclamation for
bidding the fight, but some convenient
spot will probably be found in Missis-
sippi or Texas. With all the professions
of abhorrence OF the sport the American
people are just as much interested in
these brutal displays as in the details of
a great battle in which the fortunes of
powerful nations are bound up.

THE BANK ROBBERS.
I he Color a do Gang still at Large
AccOmplices Arrested.

DENVER, June 30-A News special
from Telluride, COL, says: Deputy Sher-
iff Uncure, of this county, and Sheriff
Gees Dove, of Dolores county, tonight
brought in two men, VIM. Madden and
Geo. Brown, accomplices in the bank
robbery. They were shadowed, and
found carrying ammunition and provis-
ions to the robbers, who are hidden in
the hills between the Dolores and Manoos
rivers. VIM. Madden is brother of one Of
the robbers, but is in no wise implicated,
except that note of his was interrupted, =,
telling his brother to meet him at GER
tain point at midnight for a conference.
He says he is cure that Bert Madden,
Bob Porter, Mat Warner and Tom Nc
Carly committed the robbery, and they
had been preparing for this for some
time. They are still in the hills, sur
rounded for miles with heavy growth
of brush, and no trails have been seen
except at times on the outskirts. Some
twelve or fifteen men are still in pursuit,
but little hope is entertained for their
capture.

Our yiueyards Looking well.

There has been 30 much exaggeration
about the destructive effects OF the NAL
nero (if that be the correct term to apply
to the disease) amongst our vines, that
two days ago we made a personal inspec-
tion of a few vineyards in the San Gabriel
region which we have been well &C.
quainted with for nearly a score
of years. We found in the Stoneman
vineyard that here and there the disease
had attacked and killed individual vines.
But the great majority of the vines
indeed the great bulk of them-were
looking fine. They had put forth a
goodly amount of new wood, and the
leaves were large and as dense as usual.
The clusters are looking healthy, and the
whole appearance of the vines that have
escaped the epidemic is encouraging.
The disease seems to have attacked a
group OF vines at long intervals in spots;
but the vineyard generally presents every
evidence of being IN condition OF sound
and wholesome growth, with the promise
of an abundant crop of berries. This
description Of the condition OF the Stone
man vineyard will apply to all the other
vineyards we visited in that belt. To
say that they have not suffered from the
mysterious disease would not be true;
but to say that the destruction of vines
has been general and sweeping is simply
q gross Misrepresentation. The most
remarkable feature of this inexplic.
able disease is in the fact that it has
seemed to be particularly partial to the
Mission vine. That vine has existed
and fourished here for over one hundred
years, and this is the first time it has
been attacked. Would it not seem that
q disease that only makes its appearance
once in a century is not 30 greatly TO
be dreaded or deplored as some other
calamities that occur to the husba ndmen
in this and other states? The phyllox-
era, from which, Sonoma and Napa val
leys, in this State, have suffered for to n
or more years, is more serious aftliction
than the naaInero we are now wrestling
with in our vineyards. Indeed, from the
first appearance Of our vines, it looks as
if the epidemic had run its course, and
that we shall have immunity from it
hereafter. We are glad to say that the wild
native vines we encountered in the
Arroyo Seco and in the dells back of the
water springs along the San Gabriel wet
bench, all were as hardy and as healthy
as ever. Not sign of disease was to be
seen either in their leaves or their wood.
This would indicate that the epidemic
arose from foreign and extraneous causes,
and is not natural to the country.

After Us the DeIuge.

The villages and smaller towns have
exhibited local self-government in its
best and most effective form. But year
after year the influence of the country
districts grows less, while the cities,
which have been the center of all that is
worst in American politics, increase in
size, in number and in power. The
honest country folk and the sturdy
farmers are still, happily, the backbone
of the community, but it is per-
fectly clear that their authority must
in the long run yield to the authority Of
the cities. The farmers of New England
are going west Frenchmen from Canada
or Irishmen from Liverpool or Cork are
becoming the occupants Of New England.
The time will come when the Pilgrim
Fathers have few or no representatives
in the country they settled. American
prosperity, lastly, is due in the main to
the possession by Americans OF limitless
land. Travellers who century or CEN
tury and half hence follow in the steps of
Mr.. Bryce, as he followed in the steps of
M. de Tocqueville, will find the United
States fully occupied country. The
filling up of vacant land will mean the
clashing of class interests and the growth
of the eternal conflict between rich and
poor. Nor will the United States possess
even the resources of modern Europe for
when America is filed up by it's people,
there will be no remaining New
World, reserved as it were by Providence
as a refuge for the poor. Can anyone
assert with confidence that institutions
which even now exhibit terrible flaws
will bear the stress of difficulties which
the modern civilized world has not yet
been compelled to meet Edinburgh
