Music Reconciled Them.
fAuat..l Ra~Cr1


The Spanish and Indian Californisns
were passionately fond Of music. All the
men could make shoes and play the guitar,
and every woman could sing Spanish songs
10 her own accompaniment. Bancroft. IN
his California Pastoral tells how the
people after the conquest of the country
by the United States were recOnciled to the
new rule by music. The Californiaus were
invited 10 return 10 their homes and re-
sumo their usual occupations. Proclama-
tions which promised protection Of their
persons and property were placarded IN
the towns. but they would not come out OF
their hiding-places.
The Commodore whose naval force bad
helped 10 conquer the country was at Los
Angeles, and meeting Captain Phelps, an
old trader on the coast, requested his help.
Commodore" replied the Captain, you
have q fine band on your ship. and such a
thing was never before in this country.
Let 1t play one hour in the plaza each day
at sunset and assure you it Will do more
toward reconciling the people than all
your proclamations, which few OF them
can read" The Captains suggestion was
adopted. At first the children came forth
and peeped around the corners of the
houses. A few lively tunes brought ont
the rlu0s Of the older ones, and before the
band ceased playing they were sure 1nded
by delighted natives.
Tho next afternoon the plaza was
thronged vith the pe0ole Of the town and
with ranchmen from distance who,
having heard of the wonderful band, had
ridden in. The old priest of the mission
of San Gabriel. "A he sat by the church
door, opposite the plaza. listening 20 the
music, was introduced TO several of the
naval officers. II have not heard "a band.
said the old man, since | left Spain. over
fifty years ago. An that music will do
more service IN the conquest Of California
than a thousand bayonets."

Uproar In the House Of Commons.


LONDON, August 9.-In the House ofC0m-
mons last night, dunng the debate on the
Irish estimates, Mr. Balfour, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland. referred 10 two resident
magistrates as refusing to subscribe for a
race-meeting because Ted Harrington, a
member Of the committee, had denounced
the police as towards liars, and uniformed
bloodhounds. Harrington challenged Bal
four TO give his authority and Balfour re-
piled that he spoke on the best authority.
Harrington started across the floor
apparently with the intention Of as
sarlting bnlfour. He was followed aud
pulled back by Maboney. A tremendous
uproar followed. The Chsirman's calls tor
order were drowned in Irish yells. Amid a
moments pause Tim Healy loudly accused
Baltpur Of using an insulting gesture to-
ward Harrington, and told Balfour TO keep
quiet or else they would make him. The
tumult continued q quarter Of an hour, the
Chairman warning the Parnellites 20 con-
troll their feelings. When order was re-
stored Balfour denied that he had used any
insulting gesture and Harrington apollo
gized for his hassy action, Balfour was
then allowed 10 proceed with his speech.
