THE BLYTHE CASE.
How the millionaire Planned for
HIS Daughters Welfare.

SAN Francisco, August 19.-In the
Blythe will case today, Frederick H..
Reed, a civil engineer, of Pomona, Cali
fornia, said that about three weeks before
Blythe's death the latter told him that he
intended leaving his estate to his daugh-
ter Florence, and spoke of bringing her
to America.
On cross. examination, Reed stated that
he had been resident of California since
1874. He became acquainted with
Blythe in 1881, the latter consulting
him about the reclamation of
lands in San Diego county. He has been
engaged in the reclamation OF desert
lands, more particularly in Humboldt
sink in Nevada. After he went into
Blythe's employ he surveyed a railroad
from Yuma, Arizona, to Point Isabel.
Witness said Blythe spoke to him
about the disposition of his (Blythe's)
property during a conversation about the
reclamation of desert lands embraced in
Blyihe's Mexican estate. A canal sixty
miles in length was to be built for the
purpose of irrigating these lands, and
water WAS to be taken from the Colorado
river at point in Lower California, eight
miles below Yuma.
lneosy III tOPly W OouhooA 4uCo
tions, said if Blythe had spent all his
fortune he could not have completed the
project. but his health was not good, and
witness asked if the work was to go on in
case Blythe died, expressing the fear
that the cost of building the canal would
eat up his estate. Blythe replied that
the expense was to be borne out of the
revenue of his San Francisco prop
erty, but the property itself he
intended leaving to his daughter
Florence in England. As his reasons for
building the canal, blythe said the lands
would make homes for many poor fam.
lilies. Acting on Blythe's request he had
the land surveyed and a township To-
Gated, and place selected for the mill
ionaire's residence.
George S. Hirsch, of Elsinore, San
Diego county, and who had charge of
Rlythe's San Diego property, testified
that Blythe told him bis property was all
for his daughter, and identified letter
he had received from Blythe, in which
he said he WAS sixty years old on July
80, 1882,

An organized effort is being made in
some of the New England States to in
duce immigration to buy the abandoned
farms in the rural districts at from So to
$5 per acre. AS these farms are located
under the nose of the great manufactures
of the East, the "home market" created
by high tariff ought to make them bring
a dollar or two an acre more than even
the cheapest lands in the sreppes of Da-
kotah. That "bold peasantry" that was
once the boast of New ngland must have
been effectualiy destroyed by the pro-
tected barons "whose fat is tried out at
election times"

this morning the fourth annual tourna
ment of the Southern California Lawn

the occasion for the assem- bling of the
representative players and their friends
and the scene was brilliant one, the
handsome toilettes of the ladies mingling
harmoniously with the "blazers" snd
flannels OF the contestants in the games
The arrangements we're perfect, there
being no bitches Of any description, and

mitteemen had done well the duties i'm.
posed on them. Soon after the cours
were opened, Secretary Swartwout posted
the result of the drawings for tie open
ing contest--the gentlemen's singles.

cided that the games should be played

The opening games were disposed OF
before the noon recess was taken, F.
Carter beating Bowring by 6 2, 6 3, and
LINDSAY defeating Howard by 90, so
1t is expected that either F. Carter or
Twiss will win the event, though this is
by no means foregone conclusion.
Tomorrow will be q most interesting
day, for the ladies' singles are to be de-
cidsd, ard the prize is q most handsome
one, consisting OF large decorated cup.

THE invasion of the United States by
English syndicates is causing great
deal of serious thinking amongst our
people. They are buying up nearly
everything that offers-breweries, man
ufactories of all kinds, wstering-places,
lands, islands, mines, etc. One syndi-
cate, it is announced, will not entertain
the offer for any establishment that is
not worth at least a million! In
the trusts English capital figures
conspicuously. The copper trust is,
indeed, mainly managed in London and
Paris. The salt trust is owned princi-
pally in England-four.fifths being the
proportion of English capital. In Ameri-
can railroads there are nearly thousand
millions invested. But the tendency Of
English manufacturers to come here and
establish or buy up factories is the most
serious feature Of all this business. The
vote at the last Presidential election
deluded them into the belief that high
protective tariff was 30 dear to the
American people that it would
be a fixed and immovable policy
henceforth. Therefore, they argue,
we will get inside the wall
and help the American manufacturers to
skin the American people. The advan-
tage of protection will now be enjoyed
equally by foreigners with our own high
tariff barons. The result of all this busi-
ness will be seen in this country when
We have to pay the interest on all the
money the English syndicates are throw
ing into this country. There will be a
constant and dense pactolesn stream
flowing from the United States 10 Lon
don, and the American tax payers may
find themselves sometime hereafter in the
condition of the fellshs of Egypt working
themselves to the bone to pay for this
tremendous invasion OF English capital.
