PERSONS who have looked carefully
into the matter declare that the craze
for buying lottery tickets is on the in
crease, and estimate that not less than
one hundred thousand dollars is with
drawn every year from the pockets of
the people of this city for the purchase
of tickets. Indeed this kind of gambling
must have very strong hold upon our
people everywhere to enable the one
great lottery scheme in Louisiana to
have so many drawings. But that
scheme is not the only one that finds
customers. The National Mexican Lot.
terry is literally patronized, and the
Little Louisiana, which cells on its own
account tickets to draw prizes conform
ing to the same numbers drawn in the
bona fide Louisiana, has quite large
clientele in San Francisco. When we
consider that the chance Of drawing a
prize, even in the most decently con-
Quoted lotteries, is about one in thou
sand, we are amazed at the vast number
Of people who waste their money in
these schemes. 1t is like all other gam.

What Shall be Done with GerO-

WASHINGTON, November 23.-Secretary
Proctor is endeavoring to make arrange
ments to leave during the Christmas hol.
idays with General Crook and Captain
Pratt, for the purpose of making per.
sonal visit of inspection of Mount Vernon
barracks, Alabama, where Geronimo and
his band OF Apache Indians are
imprisoned. An effort was made earlier
in the year to secure the removal
of these Indians to tract of land in
North Carolina, but Governor Fowle OBJ
jected, and Secretary Proctor declined to
order their removal, especially as evi-
dence had been given him from promi-
nenl medical authorities that it would be
dangerous to send the Indians to more
northern point, in view of the fact that
they are exceedingly susceptible to pull
monary disease. Since then there
have been other ideas on the subject
advanced from other medical authori-
ties, and the Secretary has been informed
by the surgeon of the barracks that the
tribe is unusually sick this year. He
received letter, yesterday, from Cap
tain Pratt which argues strongly against
the removal Of the Indians to higher
latitude or altitude.

GOVERNOR WATERMAN rang up the
Express yesterd.ay for a reporter to tell
him Tat he was candidate for the Re.
publican nomination for Governor. We
have heard this before; but what we
have not heard before is that the Gov
ernor is sure he will be nominated be-
cause he deserves to be for the able and
honest manner in which he has admins.
tered the duties of his office since
the death Of Governor Bartlett. AS an
evidence of Mr.. Waterman's sound
views on political economy, he says that
his administration has built the great
stone dam above the Folsom Prison on
the American river with prison labor
alone, and that it therefore did not cost
the State a cent. After doing all the
work and furnishing all the material for
the dam, private company will be en-.
titled to ten times the water the State
may take out Of the fume thus supplied.
Has it ever occurred to the Governor
that this dam has cost the State a great
deal of money, notwithstanding it was
built with prison labor? No economist
would venture the assertion that because
the State pays no wages to prisoners for
their work, that the fruits of their labor
cost nothing. We are glad that Mr..
Waterman is once more aggressiyely in
the field for nomination. He has our
BEST wishes.

incidents Attending their Visit al

Cusoo, Cal, November 23.-The mem.

of the Chico citizens this morning, and
were shown over the city and surround
ing country. At 3 O'Clock this afternoon
they departed, being cheered by several
thousand citizens who were at the
depot. They will visit the vineyard Of
Senator Stanford at Vina.
A touching incident connected with
the visit Of the Grange here was the re-
union of two brothers who had been
separated twenty-five years. Each one
had supposed the other was dead. John
B. Wilson, of Missouri, parted with his
brother, w. S. Wilson, now OF Chico,
during the war. The latter came to
California, and settled here. They lost
all trace of each other. Their meeting
today was most affecting.
WOODLAND, November %. - The
National Grange delegates arrived here
this evening, and were rendered recep.
ton at the opera house. Judge Garoutte
made an address OF welcome, which was
responded to by Mr.. Humphreys, Master
of the Grange. W. II. Mills delivered

Peters party except five persons. The
massacre occurred at Addu Burroraba,
on the Tana river. DR.. Peters was
friendly with the local tribes, but not
with the chief of tho Somalis, who with
party made night attack on the
camp. After killing the members of DR..
Peters' party, the natives looted the
camp and drove away the donkeys and
camels.
On the other hand dispatch from
Berlin SAYS that the Emin Bey Relief

Hansing Company at Zanzibar which
states that Lieutenant Borchert, one oil

of DR.. Peters'ss expedition, reports from
Lokeman that the Somalis dispersed an
English expedition, not the expedition
under the command of Dr.. Peters.
Lieutenant Bcrchert further says DR..

SAN Francisco, November 23.-Word
has reached the city tonight from the
Preside military reservation that small
boat containing man had passed there
and the occupant was shouting for help.
1t was supposed that the food
tide was bearing the help

Gate, and boat was dispatched by the
Merchants Towbost Company to rescue
the man if possible. No word had been
received from the party at a late hour.
The direction of the current, it is believed
by some, would land the boat at Black

WASHINGTON, November 3.-Sscretary
Tracy today settled the long.pepding
question of the acceptance of the dyna-

builders he shows that the specification

those shells which have been fred from
the vessels guns not having contained
any explosives. The requirement in
regard to horse power has also not been
fulfilled, and the vessel cannot be &C.

piled with.
