Kangaroo Court Abolished.

The Kangaroo Court, which used to be
maintained at the County Jail, has been
abolished by Captain Darcy. This was
a mock court which was held among the
prisoners to try all offenders under the
severe code of laws which prevailed in.
side the "tanks." The penalties in.
fcted were generally in the form oi
fines or blows with a paddle. In some
cases, in spite of tine vigilance of the
jailers, severe injuries were given prison
ors, and several battery suits grew out
of the practice.
On taking possession Captain Darcy
ordered that the system of the Kangaroo
court be entirely discontinued. Some OF
the prisoners thought that he was not in
earnest and Yesterday the old practice
was resumed. A man was found guilty
and was about to be punished, but he
resisted and general scrimmage fol-
lowed. He was beaten about the body
and bruised in the face. Those who had
taken hand in the affair were repri.
manded and the two or three who were
most active were condemned to period
of solitary imprisonment in the dungeon

County Division.

Hon. Stephen M. White has written
from Sacramento asking that an effort be

pie of the City of Los Angeles on the
matter of the division of the county
The Chamber of Commerce will take the
matter in hand and begin the circulation
OF petition against the division. The
bill which has been framed by General
Brierly and which will soon come on to
a vote, does not concern the di.
vision of this county in particular,
as has been enormously supposed in
some quarters, but the division of any
county in the State which may at any
time vote in favor of the change. 1t ie
general in its character. and drawn in
such terms that if passed, it will MAKE the
division of a county an extremely difficult
matter. Since the agitation at Santa
Ana in favor of the division, the repre-.
sentatives of the county have been desir.
GUS Of hearing expressions from other
sections. The matter will probably be
pushed during this week.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, February AIN reply t.
the question yesterday as to what the
United States government ought to pro
pose as solution OF the Samoan ques
ton at the forthcoming conference will
the German representative, Senator
Sherman said:
"We ought to insist on the restoration
Of the ststu quo prior to the dethronemen
of Malietoa."
"Suppose the Germans object to thil
and insist upon seizing the islands al
what they claim to be proper compensa
tion for personal and material damages
suffered by them ?" he was asked.
''There is no likelihood that they will
do that. If they do, We certainly should
not permit it. Whatever the newspapers
may say there is nothing in the situation
that would justify on the part of either ma
ton breach of peace until every means
was exhausted to bring about peaceful
and quiet settlement of this controversy,
say therefore, first, we want to assert
our rights and maintain and uphold
them, and nobody will call them in ques
tion. Next We want to do what we
ought to do towards Samoans. There
fore I am willing to vote any sum OF
money to enable the President either to
conduct negotiations, to make surveys of a
harbor or to get better information in re-
gard the country there, and place it at
the discretion of Mr.. Cleveland or Gen
eral Harrison, and l have no doubt, with
the powers thus given to them to send
agents there or to send ships, they will
bring about solution of this small con-
troversY. / believe, continued Mr.. Sher-
man, that this contention may be set
tied by straightforward, manly nego-
tiation, entered into by the three grea.
Christian powers interested"
