The Smallpox Case.
The following telegram was received
from Bushong Monday:

Four inmates of the quarantined

cal aid. They should be attended to at
once.
(Signed) CITIZENS.
Commissioners Mcmillan and Bitter,
who were both in the city, were at
once notified and set about to relieve
the necessity. The telegram failed to
state whether the four were afflicted
with smallpox or some minor all
ment, but several parties who were
in the city from Bushong on court mat
tiers stated to a reporter that it
was not smallpox. The patients them
selves stated to one Of the gentlemen
this morning that they felt confident
that they were affected by the fumiga-
ton with sulphur.
The smallpox patient is doing nicely.

CALIFORNIA DIAMONDS.

From the New York jewellers Review.
Diamonds have long been known to ex-
ist in California, though none of large size
have been found. The pripcipal-felds are
along the north fork of the Feather river,
in Butte county, and in the volcano gravel
region on tributary of Dry creek, in
Amador county. At Cherokee, near the
north fork of the Feather sixty or seven
ty diamonds have been taken ont. They
are found in the gold digginps IN coarse
gravel. In the Volcano fields nearly as
many hage been found The formation at
Volcano Is similar to that at Cherokee
There is, however, bed of gold bearing
cement or conglomerate, so hard that It Is
worked in a stamp mill, a microscopic ex-
animation Of the tailngs from which
shows pulverized diamonds in considerable
quantities. This cement gravel contains
enough gold to pay well for the crushing,
and the owners do not believe they would
be justified by the number or value OF
diamonds it contains to attempt the diff
cult task of breaking it up IN su h a way
as TO try to save them. Microscopical par
ticles Of diamonds have also been found in
some instances in the tailings from other
mills in California.
Last winter a diamond expert from the
fields of South Africa, a Mr.. Atkins, ex-
amined the diamond-bearing places at
Cherokee and Volcano, and came to the
conclusion that the stones from there had
at some period been brought from dis
tance, and that these gravel fields were
not their original bed The same view, it
may be added, is held regarding the gold
deposits for which the mines are worked

foothills Of the Sierra Nevada, the latter
place being,about 100 miles southeast of
the former The present topography Of

just the opposite effect; it improves dipes-

O'BRIEN'S TESTIMONY.
He Continues to Give Evidence Before
the Parneii Commission.

LONDON, May 22.-Mr. VIM. O'Brien resumed
his testimony to-day before the Parnell COM
mission. He denied that he had ever incited
people to commit outrages through his paper,
United Ireland. The national league, he said,
was formed chiefly to oppose secret combina-
tions of the landlords made for the purpose of
carrying out wholesale evictions and replacing
the ousted tenants with farmers from other
counties. The witness stated that he had be-
longed to the executive committee of the league
ever since the organization was formed, He
had never heard even a suggestion to encour-
age outrage. Some branches OF the league
had been suppressed owing TO their use Of
strong language and excessive boycotting. Mr..
y OBrien said that while in America he had
NO CONNECTION WITH DYNAMIrERs.
The vast majority of the members compris-
ing the convention held in America in 1886,
were men of the highest standing. At that
time Patrick Ford appeared sorry for his pre-
vious attitude. Crosse xamined, q Brien said
that he was unable TO produce any record of
the leagues suppressing any of its branches or
protesting against boycotting. The witness
did not think boycotting unconstitutional. il
was simply Irish blackballing. He drew a dis
tinction between criminality and illegality.
The Irish had an earnest and healthy repul-
sion of criminality. ''As illegality meaning
irreverance for law as law" said Mr.. o Brien,
"illegality is bred in u.s."
The witness declared that il was impossible
to say what was legal or illegal. in ireland
Anything that two resident magistrates said was
law was law. The league, he said tended to les.
sen the commission of outrages. but no human
power could prevent crime in such crisis as
prevailed in 1879. The witness admitted that
United Ireland had never denounced secret
societies, but he declared that the league had
weaned nineteen-twentieths of the people from
secret organizations.

WILLING TO DIVIDE.
The Bourne Mills Will Share Profits
With Their Employees.

FALL RIVER, Mass. May 22.-The announce
ment was made this morning that the directors
of the Bourne Mills corporation had decided to
adopt a plan of profit sharing with the opera
tives. The arrangement is announced in the
following circular:
ITO the overseers and employees of the Bourne
mills: 1t gives me great pleasure to announce
to You that the president and board of directors
of this corporation have authorized me to offer
you a share in its profits for the six months
commencing July 1889 to January 1880. The
exact details have not been vet determined but
1t is proposed that every man. woman and child
continuing in our employ for the above time
shall receive some share the profits to be paid
in cash, on the 10th of February, 1890. in pro-
portion to the wages earned for the whole six
months, and that the total amount divided
shall not be less than per cent of the amount
of cash dividends declared and paid to the
stockholders during the same time. The only
condition required to participate in the above
on your part will be faithful and continuous
service except when excused on account of
sickness or any sufficient reason. The expecta-
tion is that you will feel and take an interest in
the success and prosperity which by this plan
you will share with the stockholders Trusting
that one and all will approve this generous
action and heartily endeavor to cooperate to
make the experiment success, remain. sin
cerely yours. GEO. A. CHAcE. Treasurer"
This is & new departure III Fall River mill
management. and the result will be watched with
interest by other corporations. The adoption
of the plan is mainly due to Hon. Jonathan
Bourne. of New Bedford, the largest stock
holder who has already been distinguished for
many private acts of generosity.

FOR THE SUPREME BENCH.
The President Likely to Appoint Judge
Woods Instead of MIR. Miller

President Harrison is said to be shaken in
his determination to promote Attorney-General
Miller to a seat on the Supreme bench. Mr..
Miller would like the place, and it would please
the President to crafty him, but there are
several considerations that make him hesitate.
One of the principal of these is said to be the
claims of Judge Woods of the Federal court at
Indiana. for consideration. Judge Woods is
immensely popular in the state, and is strong
in politics. Friends throughout the state claim
for him that he deserves the appointment on
the Supreme bench because Of his eminent fit
ness for the place and on account of his party
standing. 1t is said that it will be difficult for
the President to overlook this claim, and he is
hesitating between the two men. He fears
that the appointment of Miller might look as
if there had been a trade in the first instance,
with the understanding when Miller first went
into the Department of Justice that he was to
stay there but short while and then 60 on to
the Supreme bench. 1t looks now as if the ap-
pointment of Woods instead of Miller is quite
likely to be the outcome.

MUST DO WITHOUT 1T.
A National Bank Cannot be Legally
Established i'm Oklahoma.

The Attorney General has addressed letter
to the Secretary of the Treasury in reply to a
query as to whether national banks might
be legally authorized and established
in Oklahoma. He decides that such
banks cannot be established there, for the pres
ent at least, in view of section 5146 R. s., which
provides that
every director of national banking asso-
citation must, during his whole term of service,
be citizen of the United States, and
at least three-fourths of the directors
must have resided in the state, territory or
at least one year Immediately preceding their
election, and must be residents therein during
their continuance in Office"
OKLAHOMA MUST WAIT FOR SOME TIME.
The Attorney-General points out that this re-
quirement is barrier to the organization of
any banking association for quite a year to
come, it may be assumed that no person
elected director of any such institution would
sooner possess the qualification to residence.
He continues ''The legislation authorizing ma
tonal banking associations to be es-
tablist in territory has in view, /
| think, territory regularly organized, with
a government and a system of laws
for the protection of persons and property, and
not territory like Oklahoma, without any
government at all, and destitute of laws for the
regulation OF the civil relations of its people.
TERRITORY WITHOUT RULES
of property and without even customs to take
the place of legislation. 1t is not
necessary to look further into the legislation on
this subject to establish the proposition that
there is no authority to make the dangerous
experiment of locating national banking as
sociation in a country destitute of the laws and
sanctions that are essential to the safety of a
bank
