truth that Mr.. Phillips assures the
HERALD that he will himself place the
bank upon it's feet, enabling it to resume
business. As no one doubts Mr.. Phil
lips's ability to buttress a half dozen
such banks, il will be seen that as
against the howls Of the devotees OF cold
water as beverage, the Spadra capital
ist offers active cooperation and minted
dollars. The true inwardness of the
matter is that Mr.. Phillips occupies
generous and disinterested attitude, while
Mr.. Palmer's superserviceable friends
had nothing but words to offer. The
many friends of the Spadra capitalist
will be glad to see him relieved from the
cloud of misrepresentation which has
been thrown over the case. and to know
that he has acted fairly and squarely and
even magnanimously in the premises.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. /
New YORK, August "a cable special
from London says: In addition to me-
mortal to the Government in behalf OF
Mrs. May brick, signed by most of the
barristers and solicitors of the Liverpool
circuit, and petition circulated among
the merchants and bankers, Parliament
itself has taken up the cause of the con-
demned woman. A number of members
of the House of Commons have decided
to make combined appeal to the Home
Office for a reprieve. This action is
based not only upon the confusion of the
medical testimony taken, but also on the
peculiar behavior OF the Judge, which has
excited ferment OF indignation through
out the country.
The foreman of the jury has been inter
viewed, and he showed himself by his
answers and comments on the case to be
possessed of only confused notion Of the
evidence which had been presented in
court. He admitted that he would not
be sorry if a reprieve was granted, not
withstanding his voice in favor of YER
dict for murder. Thsgeneral impression
left by the interview is that the jurors
allowed themselves to be swayed and
biased by the one.sided summing up Of
the Judge, and gave hasty verdict, with.
out giving the case and the evidence any
personal consideration.
Regarding the chances OF interference
with the sentence on the part of the
Home Secretary, Mr.. Macklin said
"They have a curious law in England,
providing that where an adverse decision
is rendered in any but muI der case, an
appeal can be taken to the higher court,
and from that to the House of Lords, bu,
when the case is murder, the decision
rendered by the jury is final, and cases
where the Judges sentence has beer
overruled by the Home Secretary, are
very rare indeed; still, hope we can dc
something"
Roe & Macklin, counsel for Mrs. May
brick in this country, have cabled hel
London solicitors asking if Home Secre.
tary Matthews will consider new evi
dence if furnished Immediately. Mr.
Macklin says they have considerable
evidence to submit corroborating Mrs
May bricks testimony, and also testi
mony as to her standing and character
socially in this country.

THE CHICO TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Hubbs Tells How She Came to
EIOpe from Bierce.

STOCKTON, August 9.--Mrs. G. A.
Hubbs, widow of the young man who
was shot at Chico by young Bierce,
prints statement of the affair in
weekly paper of this city. She says
while engaged to Bierce she told him
she thought more Of Hubbs, when he
drew a pistol and threatened to kill her.
July 18th she told Bierce she would
never be his wife. He laughed and
said: 'No romance is complete without
a tragedy" July 10th she says Bierce
and her mother informed her they were
going to get license next day. She
cried and said it was not treating her
fairly.
She says: "Mother said it must be
done to save her reputation, for the ru-
NOR had spread abroad that che and
Bierce we're too intimate. Next morn
ing wrote note to Mr.. Hubbs, telling
him what was about to be compelled to
do. In the afternoon Hubbs came down
and asked Bierce for his money, getting
all but s. from him."
Hubbs told her if she could get away
to come to the stable where he worked.
She went away with the excuse of visit
ing some lady friends, met Hubbs at the
stable, when he said he was ready to
marry her, and they left Chico early the
next morning and were married at
French Camp, July 22d.

The Double standard.

There is reported from Europe grow
ing feeling in favor Of the double stand
ard. Even Germany and England are
said to be undergoing decided change
of sentiment on this head. The British
ROYAL Commission in its last report ac-
knowledged these facts in relation to
silver and its use in the coinage of the
world:
First. That the relative value of the
two money metals, as represented by
the gold price of silver, has, at least dur
ing the last 200 years, been subject to
much less variations than anteriorly.
Second. That silver is still the stand
ard of the greater portion CT the human
race.
Third. In consideration of all the
facts, it seems doubtful whether there
has been, on the whole, any great dimin.
ution in the use of silver for currency
purposes.
Fourth. The operations of the Latin
Union exerted material influence
upon the relative value OF the two
metals, and so long as that Union re-
mained in full force, notwithstanding
any changes in the volume of produc'
| ton, the market price of silver was kept
approximately steady at the ratio fixed
by law OF 151s to l. This conclusion re-
suits in the further one that the cessa'
ton of the free coinage of silver by the
mints of the Latin Union will "be amply
sufficient" to account for the fall in the
price of silver, and that the continued
existence Of that Union must have kept
the market price of silver steady at ap'
| proximately that ratio of 151a to l. The
| action of the Latin Union in 1873 broke
the link between silver and gold which
had kept the price of the former, al
measured by the latter, at about the
legal ratio.
The United States is particularly snd
the most deeply interested OF all the ma
tions in this matter. Ours is q grea
silver producing country, and it is one
which requires an expanding currency te
| develop her varied resources and build
up Ter growing empires. There has
been no adequate increase of money tc
keep pace with the growth of business il
the United States during the past twenty
| years. Free coinage of silver today
| would result in the great vivifying O.
languishing industries, and in the stmu
lating of all sorts of development. Ii
this State, where silver is go largely pro
duced, there is actually scarcity o
change.
Senator Jones stated in an interview
which appeared in the HERALD just afte
he arrived from the East, few month
ago, that as coon as Congress meets a
Washington important steps, will b
taken in the matter of silver. TIE Ad
miDistration or the party that will Gu
itself loose from Wall-street influence
and legisate for the people, will maxi
itself immensely solid with the who'll

INDEMNITY FOR THE DIANA.
Foo CHO w EAS.
Consul Wibgste's Report ON the
Tea Season of ,SS.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-In view OF
the recent violations concerning tea inn
portations into the United States, the
report by J. II. Wingate, Consul at
Foo Chow, to the State Department
of the features of the Foo Chow
tea season for 1888, will be
of interest. He says the offer
iDgs were placed on the market May
oath and, although the higher grades
we're superior to those of 1877, prices
were considered too high and only pos
tive orders we're filled. The mar
ket closed March 10Th, 1889, with
IA large stock on hand. OF
the tea sent to the United States, 2,427,-
S61 pounds were Oolong and Pou-
chong; 1,220,057 pounds, Congou
and Souchong; Is $50, Orange Pc
koe; 11,150 pounds, Flowery Pekoe.
The Consul says the reckless buying
on the part of some merchants early in
the season enabled the Chinese dealers
to realize extreme profits. Late profits
to the Chinese were not large, and they
combined to prevent the tea from being
brought in from the country. Foreign
dealers cannot so combine. Reckless
buying continued until it brought
disaster upon come, and few firms
can call the season profta.
BILE one, yet all say the demand
for first class Foo Chow teas must con-
tinue to exist, no other teas being able
to supply their place.

Some Facts About the Pomona
Bank Failure.

Mr.. Louis Phillips, of Spadra, called at
the HERALD Office yesterday, and desired
to make come statements about the clos
ing of the Pomona Bank. A good deal
of very peculiar nonsense has been writ
ten and telegraphed about this mean-
choly affair. 1t was first stated that Mr.
Phillips had made peremptory demand
upon the bank for $4,000, and that, upon
failing to receive his money, he at once
rushed off and procured an attachment
against the bank. 1t was next asserted
that MIR. H. A. Palmer, the President OF
the Bank, had been identified with the
prohibition movement which was recently
successful in Pomona, and that to wreak
their vengeance the whiskey men had
entered into conspiracy to wreck
Palmer and his bank, and that Mr.. Phil
lips was their agent in this spitework
A plain statement of the facts
shows how ridiculous all this is
Some two weeks since Mr.. Phil
lips drew his check for $4,000 or
the Pomona Bank against deposits which
he had therein to the amount OF IS, 600
He was asked to wait awhile, and did so
1t is generally conceded that deposition
has right to his money, if he wants it
and, after showing great forbearance, ss
the only method of getting his cash, Mr.
Phillips sued out an attachment. At this
the cold water friends of Mr.. Palmer
raised a great howl about that gentle
mans having been prosecuted by the
whiskey men. So far is this from the

scarcity of Food at samoa.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Under July
1lth, Rear Admiral Kimberly reports TO
the Navy Department from Apis, Samoa,
that the Fathers of the Catholic Mission
there had requested help from him to re-
lieve the pressing want for food then ex-
listing upon his return from Pago-Pag,.
In small vessel chartered for the trip,
he brought back with him from the Mo.
nongahela, biscuits, rice, corn
meal and other provisions which
he turned over to the Catholic Mission
for distribution among the distressed
Samoans. The Admiral writes that
there is undoubtedly great scarcity of
food at present, but he does not appre.
bend any loss of life from famine, ex.
cept, possibly, among the old and feeble,
as there are cocoanuts enough to exist
upon now, and this will soon be helped
by the approaching harvest Of bread

A STRANGE sort of emeute is reported
from Honolulu, wherein two boye, head
ing couple of hundred men, attempted
to overthrow the Government, and ac-
tually attacked the palace. Although ii
was promptly put down, the at empt is
an index of the weakness of the Govern.
ment. 1t is almost without influence OF
authority among its own people, and will
before long fall a prey to an out
break in which the leaders will
not be boys, but men ol
experience in affairs, who will therefore
secure larger following. About the
best thing the United States Govern
ment could do would be to send couple
of ships and regiment of soldiers down
there and seize the islands. If Mr.
Blaine should do this he would be ac'
quilted by popular sentiment of even the
charge Of jingoism.
