On Their Heads.

In France, when a patient is under
chloroforn,, on the slightest symptom
appearing of failure of the heart, they
turn him nearly upside down, that
is, with his head downward and his
heels in the air. This, they say, always
restores him; and such is their faith In
the efficacy Of this method, that the OPP
Grating tables in the Paris hospitals are
made SO that in an instant they can be

THE BEHRING SEA MATTER.
Britain Wants the Matter Refer
red to Arbitration.

OTTAWA, June 24-It is stated in Off
cial circles that no action will be taken at
present by either the Dominion or British
government in regard to protecting Brit
ish sealing vessels in the Behring Sea.
The question as to the right of the United
States to exercise exclusive jurisdiction
will, for the present, be held in abey-
ance, as on good authority it is learned
the British government is seeking the CO.
operation of several maritime powers OF
the world with view to joining in dis,
pute of the United States claim and in
the reference of the question to arbitra.
ton.
The British government has requested
the Dominion government to take no
action until settlement has been ar
rived at in this way
1t is stated that several maritime pow
ers which have been invited to parti-
cipate in the settlement support the con-
tention of the British government that
Behring sea is not closed sea. 1t is
also stated that the claims for damages
through seizure of British sealers by
United States cruisers will also be sub
mitted to arbitration when the question
of jurisdiction is taken up.

For some time past there have been
dissensio ms among the farmers of por-
tions of the Azusa on the subject of
water. At one time, the law was in
voked; then force seemed to be immi-
nent for while; then two several at
tempts were made to bring the whole
district under the Wright Act, and thus
compel those who own water rights to
make general pool OF them. After all
this contention and good deal Of bad
blood, the settlers have got together
and calmly reasoned over the matter.
The result is that they have
organized themselves into a company,
and are about to bring water to their
lands from the river. They recognize
the fact that there is water enough for
all in the canon, if they will only go the
right way about getting it out. Instead
of spending their money in law and in
useless contentious, they will put it into
bitches. That is the sensible thing, and
all will rejoice at the wise conclusion
they have come to.

A JUMP In OIL.
Consequent Excitement ON the Pitts.
burg md New York Exchanpes

PrrTsBURG, June 24.-Intense excite
ment reigns on the Petroleum Exchange.
The market opened at S33s cents with a
rush, and was forced up to 81 OF before a
halt was made. The decline was almost
as rapid, and at 80 the price was bacK
to 90L cents. There are fears that
many brokers will be hurt. 1t is said
that the adoption OF proposition to deal
in futures to-day was the cause of the
sharp advance.
New York, June 24.-The greatest ex-
citement prevailed on the Consolidated
Exchange to-day, in consequence of the
jump in the price of oil. The Standard
people had brought about settlement of
their agreement with the producers OF
the Protective Association, which was
not expected until July 1st. By this
agreement the Standard Oil Company
had the call on $780, 900 barrels held by
the association at 62 cents, with charges
since November |, 1887.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, June PA sweeping
fire broke out in the First Ward at II 80
this afternoon. The flames spread
rapidly. In half an hour 20 houses were
burning. All the engines in the place
were called out. The most intense ex-
citement prevails. Nearly all the houses
burning were more or less destroyed by
the flood. The wind is high and the fire
is spreading rapidly toward Kernville,
1t has gotten beyond control of the fire
department, and now covers FIVE acres.
The fire in the First ward consumed
all but three of the buildings in the dis
trict bounded by Market and Walnut
stree cts. and by Main street and the river.
Twenty-Five houses are totally destroyed.
Many of the buildings destroyed have
been washed away from their founda-
tions, though MANY of them contained
household goods which had been saved
from the food. Only small amount of
these goods will be saved. The fire is
supposed to have originated from sparks
flying from the burning debris in the
neighborhood.
Notwithstanding that the force en-
ployed in the ruins here was reduced
nearly one-half, today remarkable
showing was made in the way of clearing
up the wreckage. One heavy blast fol-
lowed another in the debris above the
railroad stone bridge, and the place, pro-
badly, will be cleared up by Thursday.
This afternoon, about o'clock, charge
of dynamite exploded near the second
arch from the east end of the bridge, and
from the great body of wreckage tossed
up and the remnants afferward gathered
together, it was indicated that at least
six corpses had been blown up.
Much Of the drift which has been dis
lodged from the stone bridge has lodged
in various places, extending as far below
as Coopersdale.
A force of men this morning began to
remove these Instructions, which have
rendered useless great part of the
work at the bridge.

convened in Odd Fellows Hall this
morning. The Executive Council held a
preliminary session, President M. w.
Alexander presiding.
The number of delegates in attendance
is about 375, and elaborate preparations
have been made to entertain them during
their stay here.
This afternoon the thirty-seventh an
nual meeting of the association wte
called to order by President Alexander,
Mayor Pond welcomed the visitors to San
Francisco. DR.. E. A. Ebert, of Ohio,
in response, thanked the citizens of San
Francisco for the welcome accorded
them. President Alexander then de-
hvered his opening address.
The Mem bership Committee reported
that during the year 106 applications for
mem bership had been accepted, and the
total membership was ,264.
Among the prominent pharmacists
present at the convention are DIR. Frank
l.. James, of st. Louis, editor of the
Nat,onaI Druggist and the 81. Louis

parison. We learned that this unique
and incompatible building cost 81 800
900, and that its projectors were re-
imbursed this enormous sum by the
profits arising from the sale OF lots on the
Peninsula.
The interior of the edifice is more like
poets dream than the prosaic concep'
ton ot scheme to make money. All
its appointments are elegant in the ex-
treme, and every modern convenience
has been supplied. There are something
over seven hundred rooms in the Hotel
Del Coronado, and last year it contained
at one time upwards of twelve hundred
guests. 1t would, unquestionably, re-
quire considerable attendance to make
it profitable to the stockholders, but we
do not see why it should not have the
required patronage. With the unsur-
passed climate of Southern California,
the charms of both the Bay and Pacific
ocean, and appointments equal to those
of King, the tourist or invalid might
we'll, in the Hotel Del Coronado, sur
render himself to the dreams of the
lotus eater.
Our experience in no section supplies
us with recollections of anything SO ele-
CANT and exquisite as the courtyard Of the
Coronado. Numberless flowers and
shrubs, in the perfection of luxuriant
growth, exhale odors more enhancing
than the spicy breezes that blow from
Araby the Best, and the south wind
blowing on a bank of violets, even in
Southern Europe, is discounted. The
CLEAN of bright foliage and brighter
flora, the play of fountains and the
witchery of trailing plants, make this
courtyard thing, once seen, to be re-
membe for lifetime.
There are two things that ought to
make the people of Los Angeles heartily
ashamed of themselves. One is the
superb Magnolia avenue, in Arlington,
near Riverside. The other is the
Hotel Del Coronado. With almost
limitless wealth here and an un-
approached spontaneity of vegeta'
ton, We are without grand boulevard
or a really superior hotel. We can well
borrow lesson from our enterprisiDg
Southern neighbors. There is another re-
spect in which we are far behind them.
The visitor to the Hotel Del Coronado can
take the dummy railway and ride to
within few yards of the great Sweet
water Dana stupendous work, the like
of which our rich men have never at
tempted.
The HERALD would be pleased to see
every citizen of Los Angeles county make
visit both to the Hotel Del Coronado
and to the Sweetwster Dam. The result
would undoubtedly be highly beneficial.
1t might tend to develop the tribe of Bah
cocks amongst us. One or two men Of
this stripe would find in Los Angeles
county the finest arena for their energies
which could be furnished by any spot on
the American continent.

THE ordinary routine of the City Coun-
Gil Chamber was disturbed, yesterday,
by lively passage between Mr.. Carl
Browne and City Attorney Mcfarland.
Mr.. Browne appeared to advocate the
building OF the outfall sewer by day
labor. The City Attorney said that un.
der the charter such thing was impos.
sible. Personalities then became the or
der of the day, and the air was blue TOR
quite while. There was blood on the
face of the moon, but none was shed
on this tsrrene sphere. 1t has
been suggested that as preparation for
cooking your hare, you should first
catch it. 1t might be good idea, be-
fore the war of words is transmitted into
one of deeds, to wait until the city of Los
Angeles shall vote to issue the sewer
bonds. When they are issued ana nego-
tiated there will be plenty of room for
both verbal and bodily collisions.

been received here this afternoon that
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
steamer Granada, which left here on the
18th inst. for Panama, is ashore sixty
miles south of Manzanillo. The passen-
gers and crew are all safe.
The Granada carried about fifty pas
sengers in her cabin and about sixty
five in the steerage. She was under
command of Captain Deering. The ves-
sci was built in Wilmington, DEL, in
1873, and has ever since been engaged in
the Central American trade. She is brig
rigged, 2s0 feet long, 40 feet wide, 2S
feet in depth of hold, and has three
decks. She wss thoroughly overhauled
d year ago, and subsequently pro-
nounced in first.class condition. The
dispatch says that the Captain has hopes
OF getting the vessel off safely, as she is
resting easily on sandy beach.
