THE final closing down of two wooden
mills in this State within two or three
weeks, throwing five or six hundred peo
pie out Of employment, is tough sub.
ject for the high-tariff Republican papers
to explain. OF course they ascribe the
catastrophe to every cause but the true
one. The San Francisco Call says "a
California mill finds it difficult to com
pete with Eastern mills, on the
other side Of the mountains, and
it cannot compete with English
and German mills in the Asistit
markets" If these California mills
"could have got the entry Of the Chinese
and japanese m arkets, they would have
done excellently we'll; but these were
and from present appearances promise tc
remain, in European hands," Just so
But why should they remain in European
bands That is the question. The answer
is simply this: That British mills are
supplied with free woods; our mills, which
have to use seventy-five per cent. of for
eign woods in their fabrics, are compelled
to pay duty ranging from from thirty
five to fifty five per cent. on these importa'
tons. That shows in a nutshell why Cali.
fornia mills, with an advantage of Is, DOC
miles Of transportation in their favor to
reach the Chinese and japanese markets,
cannot "get the entry" which the Cal
talks about. The good times promised
by the high-tariffites prior to the Presi-
dental election are coming along finely.
The Pioneer Wooden Mills, of San
Francisco, The Woodland Wooden
Mills, in Yolo county, and several
Oregon wooden mills, shut down,
and thousands of operatives are thrown
out of work. Throughout the iron dis
tricts of Pennsylvania the edict has just
gone forth that wages shall be reduced
ten per cent. because of the tightness Of
the times, and every one looks forward

Hon. GEORGE HEARST, the Democratic
Senator from California, has been lately
suffering from very severe indisposition
in Mexico, where he had gone in further
ance of his mining and land interests,
both of which are large, in the neighbor-
ing republic. For while his case was
critical, his family physician having been
called there to minister to his ailments.
California generally and Democrats par
ticularly will be glad to learn that be is
on fair road to recovery, and that he
has returned to this country, having
been, at last accounts, located at Ell Paso.
Senator Hearst has been one of the most
useful representatives California has ever
had in Washington. While he has not
set up any claims to being an orator, he
is specially influential before committees
and in the departments on all questions
in which California interests have been
concerned. He has been, in an especial
degree, friendly to all the just claims OF
this section. The Senator is quite ad.
vanced in years but he has constitution
Of iron, and the Herald heartily hopes
that he will return to his legion of friends,
political and personal, in this State, not
only convsleecent but robust.

TRINIDAD, COL, May %. Lorenzo Lo
pei, Sheriff of San Miguel county, New
Mexico, came in from Folsom, this af-
ternoon, with six prisoners, who had
stolen 500 horses from ranches in the

nation of the whereabouts of the thieves
and left this city for Folsom
few days ago. From there they learned
that the thieves were some sixty miles

them without trouble. The names Of
the prisoners are Tom Friedman, John
Williams, (coloreu), H. w. Bunting,
Chas. Martin, G. A. Perkins, Sam Mar

Another Rotten Bank.

SCRANTON, Pa, May 25.-The Scranton
City Bank closed its doors this afternoon
At meeting OF the directors to-day it
was found that the financial affairs Of
the bank are in very bad shape, a great
deal of money having been lost in IN.
profitable coal lands and loans made on
insufficient security. Several of the
directors were of the impression that
Vice President Jessup, who is also
acting cashier, is mere guilty than
really appeared, and one of them swore
out warrant for his arrest, charging
him with emtezzing 500 600. Jessup
gave bail in $25 900, the President of the
bank, DR.. Throop, becoming his surety.
The directors cay the cashiers books are
in such a shape that they cannot tell
how much money is unaccounted for
but they think it is between $75 900 and
500, 900. An assignee has been ap-
pointed. Jessup's friends Indignantly
deny that he has acted dishonesty or
made private use Of the banks funds.

A COMMITTEE of the Board of Education
had long conference yesterday with the
Finance Committee of the City Council,
and the latter greed to repare an ordi-
nance authorizing the call of an cleo ion
to pass upon the issuing of 100000 Of
bonds for the purpose of building new
school houses. There is little doubt how
the people will vote. Instead OF large
percentage Of our public school children
only being entitled to half-time attend
ance, we shall have ample school &C.
commodation and full time for all when
the new buildings which this money will
enable us to erect are finished. We shall
make Los Angeles the most attractive
public school city in the State with the
means these bonds will give US.

THE NEW HAVEN BANK.
Business Men Involved i'm the
Crooked work of Officials.

New HAVEN, Conn, May 25.-The
officials OF the Merchants National Bank
are still reticent and positively decline to
give out the names of the merchants who
have benefited by the dishonest note
discounting practiced. This action has
created an impression that they are
shielding prominent business men who
had been in collision with Cashier Brad
ley and Teller Palmer. The bank officials
now admit the loss to be fully $50 600,
and may possibly eat up their entire sur
plus of 100000. The feeling is spread
ing that the bank is crippled worse than
it cares to acknowledge. With the ex-
ception of $4,000 worth of notes dis
counted by John E. Bassett, hardware
merchant, the public is at sea as to who
have benefited by the crooked work.
AS result of the action by
the United States authorities, Bassett
was arrested this afternoon, charged
with aiding and abetting Palmer in the
embezzlement of the banks funds. Bail
was fixed at $4,000, which was fur
nished. When Bassett returned to his
store he found the Sheriff in waiting,
who attached the store and stock and
real estate to the amount of $50, 1000 at
the instance of the bank. The Marshal
next arrested Cashier Bradley and Teller
Palmer for fraudulent statements made
to the Comptroller of the Currency.

The Victorious VaIkyrie.

LONDON, May 25.-Another race was
sailed between the Valkyrie, Trek, Gar
ana, Deerhound and Amphitrite. The
yachts finished as follows: Valkyrie,
Trek, Garana, Deerhound and Amphi-
trite. The yachts started from Southend.
A fresh breeze was blowing at the
time. The Trek obtained the
advantage and took the lead. Then
followed the Valkyrie and Garana.
The Trek increased her lead somewhat
but the Valkyrie quickly overlook her,
and, after passing her, gradually drew
away. The weather was mixture of
calms aud light breezes. The Garana
remained in the third place. The others
changed positions several times. They
were so far behind that their move
ments were not worth recording.
At the turning buoy at Harwich,
the Valkyrie caught the breeze ten
minutes in advance of the others, after
that they had not the slightest chance.
The Garana did not try to rectify her
mistake, which disqualified her. The
Valkyrie won in AZ minutes, corrected
time. The race was less interesting than
those of the three preceding days.

ON THE WRONG TRAIN.
Three-Y ear-Old Roy Makes
Trip to the Ocean.

Trip to the Ocean,.
A lady with a Swear boy, who
looked very happy in small-sized baby
chair, sat in the Wofskill depot yester-
day morning awaiting the departure Of
the train for San Francisco. They were
bound for San Francisco on the
Corona" and the mother, arising, went
to ask genial Jack Reeves, the ticket
agent, if the clock was right. She left
her little boy in the waiting-room, and at
that moment the train bound for
Santa Monica came steaming into the
arcade. The youngster, interested in
the arrival of the iron horse, picked up
his little chair and went out into the
yard with the crowd, and seeing that
they were all walking up to the GAYS, he
| went along too. A gentleman. thinking
that the little fellows mother was
aboard, lifted him and his chair into the
coach, and away went the train.
The mother had by this time finished
interviewing the gentlemanly ticket dis
tributor, and went back to her seat. Her
grief when she found that her
child was gone was quite heart
rending. She ran out to the
tracks, fearing that The had strayed
amongt the moving wheels, and officer
Rulo, seeing that she was in distress,
went to her assistance. He had seen
the little fellow If ed onto the train, SO
assuring her that her boy was fafe, he
went to the train. dispatcher's office,
where the case was at once taken up. A
telegram 10 Park Station brought the
reply from conductor Bassett: "Boy on
board; will bring him back on return
trip"
The mother had to abandon her trip
on the Corona, therefore, and eat patient
ly waiting for the return of her absent
child. AT II 10 P. M. the expected train
pulled in and there was the truant sitting
| IN his little chair on the hind platform,
complacently munching at q package of
popcorn that Johnny Barrett had pur-
chased f)r him. The mother and son
will make another attempt to go north
tomorrow.

SUNDAY, MAY 90, 1859.

The conference at Berlin on the Sa-
moan question has been pushed to a
state of very satisfactory forwardness,
and nothing further seems to remain
than for the Commissioners to affix their
signatures to the protocol. The German
Commissioner, Count Herbert Won Bis
marck, seems to have been the pink Of
courtesy, and everything has gone as
merrily as the ringing of marriage bells.
What effect the hurricane at Apia had
in bringing about this quick and pacific
solution of much vexed question will
probably never he known on earth.

BERLIN, May 25.-'rhe revir' of the

adhesion OF Austria. Ass Jviated with
the treaty is military convention fixing
a definite plan for the mobilization of the
Italian army in the event of r.
Signor Crispi wanted an entente on the
question of the Papacy. Prince Bis
marck obtained from Signor Crispi a
pledge for a moderate internal
policy toward the Vatican and
has asked the Austrian Prime Min
lister to join in united pressure
on the Pope to make peace with the
Quirinal. 1t is understood that the EN-
peror Francis Joseph reluctantly allowed
Count Kalnoky to intervene in the mat
ter, and that the Pope, on receiving
private assurances of the Austrian EN-
peror's sympathy, promptly rejected the
overtures. The result is distinct, be-
cause, in the continuity of the alliance,
the revision of the treaty will probably
remain unsigned, until the Emperor
Francis Joseph and Count Kalnoky pay
their expected visit here.
The Italian Generals Rolands and Sirdi
remain in Berlin to settle the details of
the military convention with the War
Office. Adverse rumours 60 the length
of asserting that the difference with Aus
tria is leading to rupture of the alliance,
the Emperor Francis Joseph inclining to
regulate the Balkan question in conjunc-
ton. The official circle absolutely denies
that rupture is within the range of pos
sibility.
King Humbert, in letter, thanks the
people of Berlin for the splendid recep-
ton accorded him, and sends gift of
twenty thousand marks for charitable
objects.
At o'clock this evening the Emperor
and King Humbert witnessed grand
military tattoo by IL 600 performers, in
front of the castle. The Lustgarten was
illuminated with Bengal lights. Tie
display was witnessed by enthusiastic
crowds. The people gave the King an
ovation. The departure Of King Hum
bert has been postponed until to-mor-
row.
The members of the Reischtag gave a
banquet in the Kaiserhof this evening in
honor Of Premier Crispi. In the toasts
loyal references were made to the alli-
ance between Italy and Germany. Prem
Ter Crispi declared that Italy, though
prepared for war, only desired peace.

IT is to be hoped that some day or
other, and the sooner the better, we shall
strike reform Legislature of California.
Ordinarily that body is too busy obeying
the cinching behests of the political
bosses to care anything for the moral or
material betteIment Of the people. Not
withstanding the strong agitation in the
press before and during the last session
of that body in favor of changing the
time of paying the municipal, county and
State taxes, so that they should not all
fall upon the taxpayer at once, the pres
ent vicious system still continues. Then
the old barbarous law which permits the
tax shark to buy in the property of his
neighbor and receive fifty per cent. ad-
vance on his purchase still continues.
The delinquent taxes ought of right to be
bought in by the cities and counties
and the State, and they ought
to be redeemable at trihing
interest charge compared with the pres
ent unconscionable mulct. Many of the
laws of California seem to have been
written by Shylock himself, while there
is no Portia to make The usurer relin-
quish his pound OF flesh. While there
are some disadvantages in annual ses-
sions OF the Legislature, it is difficult to
get a reform body under the biennial
system. The failure to do right would
often give US useful and refotmatory
Legislature if an election were held
promptly upon the dissolution of cor
rupt and neglectful body.
