COLONEL MULKEY,
His Proposition to Steal Lower CalIfornis
From Mexico.

his Troposltion TO Steal Lower California
From Mexico.
Los ANGELES, April 15th.-The alleged
fllbustering scheme to capture Lower CAL
ifornia has been traced to Colonel J. K.
Mulkey, who came here ten years ago as a
correspondent of the Louisville Courier
journal. To a reporter, who pretended to
want to join the enterprise, he made the
following statement:
We'll, now," said the reporter, what
have you done in the way of naval arrange
ments ?''
Very little"
Have you any colleagues among the
naval men ?''
Yes, replied the Colonel confidentially.

Have you any assistance in Washing

I'VE can get all the aid there when we
want it. There are men high in authority
in the movement, and some of them are
very near the Administration.
How about Jones ?"
"Well, Senator Jones is on our list.p
Now as to the question of money!"
We have sufficient funds for the pres
ent. When certain arrangements are made
We will have all the money we desire"

back part of the room brought forth large
envelope bearing the City of Mexico post

brought forth two letters of introduction,
one to General Torres, Governor of Lower
California, and the other to q prominent
Mexican official at Lapaz.
The letter to General Torres was signed
by Romero. the Mexican Secretary of the
Interior. 1t ordered that force of armed

None. Our scheme is merely a busi-
ness proposition. We will locate settlers
IN Lower California and in six months they
Will be bona fide residents. We expect to

Lucky Redskins-A Decision of the Su-
preme Court Saves Their Necks.
Tucson, April 15th.-The United States
Supreme Court to-day decided that the Dis
trict Court of Arizona, sitting as United
States Court, has no jurisdiction in Indian
cases. United States District Attorney
Rouse raised the question before Judge
Barnes, who decided that the Court had
jurisdiction, and Gonshayer, Captain Jack
and several more Indians were convicted
and transported to the Springfield, Ohio,
prison, and are now confined there. The
case was carried to the Supreme Court, and
argued March 10th. ATTORNEY. General
Miller ordered the Indians released and
brought back from their places of confine-
ment.
Indian Feremino, who killed miner
Ford near Quijota, and was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged on Friday next.
comes under this decision.
1t is thought that the decision will work
a great hardship in several counties in Ari-
zona, in prosecuting these cases, arising
from Apache depredations. Gonshayer,
was convicted of killing Diehl, nearly
two years ago, off the reservation, and Cap
tain Jack, for the killing of an Indian on
the reservation.

Tucson, April 15th.-Engineer Harper

revolving with great rapidity, tearing the
cab completely off the engine. and slightly
injuring the engineer and fireman.

TEA, CIGARETTES AND ABSINTHE.
The Latest Habits Formed by English
Society Women.

Society Women.
LONDON, April 18TH The ingenuity of the
women of London and Paris in inventing
new dissipatlons is without limit. To the
morphine habit the devotees of sensation
alism have now added the practice of smok-
ing tea cigarettes. Special grades of the
finest tea are used, and the effect of the
cigarettes is said to be delightful for fully
an hour after one has been smoked. After
that comes reaction in the form of nerv-
Gus trembling and excitabilitv, which is
best endured. according to woman of
title, who rather goes in for all these things,
by drinking a thimbleful of frozen ab-
sinthe.
Thus, by industriously ringing the
changes on morphine. tea cigarettes, ab-
sinthe, with few intrigues, some scandal,
and a raft of white-hot French novels, the
woman of society manages to worry
through the day.
1 wonder if the American girls great sue
cess abroad is not due to her naturalness
and health.
There is a lack of ruddy checks in Lon
don now.
Riding-schools are empty, and the peo-
pie who run gymnasiums, where women
formerly fenced and exercised, assert that
the craze is now over. Perhaps it has gone
10 America. At all events there is no such
disease as morphineomonia there, though
it is recognized and widely prevalent all
ment here.

FINE WELL OF WATER.
supposed Anti-Hydraulic Spies are Driver
Out of Sierra CITY.

MARYsvILLE, April 15th.-Information
reached the Anti-Debris Association to-day
that two men were driven from Sierra City
about ten days ago by the hydraulic miners
and their friends, on suspicion that the
visitors were agents of the Association, or
were Deputy United States Marshals en-
gagged in collecting information. The Asso-
citation has no official knowledge of the
matter, and has had no agents in Sierra
county of late.
A ten-inch bored well in the Colmena
orange orchard six miles south of this city
on the line of the California and Oregon
Railroad, has tapped a copious vein of
water at the depth of So feet. The water
rises within ten feet of the surface. 1t is
thought that one good pump will raise
enough water from this well for the irriga-
ton of the entire orchard of one hundred
acres. More wells will be sunk to insure a
sufficient supply.
