ADMIRAL PORTER, in an article in the
North An'erican Reriew. gives it as his
opinion that the United States, which
started out SO prom singly as naval
power at the beginning of this century,
will never have naval armaments which
will enable this country to cope success
fully with the maritime powers OF either
England or France. This is decidedly
pessimistic view for this gallant sea-dog
to take; and certainly, as long as we
have big yearly surplus pouring into
the National Treasury. it does not seem
to be warranted. Money will buy both
guns and ships, and if we please we can
get navy the way Italy, Turkey, Chill
and Peru got theirs-by buying it. The
great danger is that we shall potter about
the matter so long that our splendid race
of seamen may die out. With our con-
stantly shrinking merchant marine and
small navy this is the real, and in truth,
very portentous danger.

She found $4,000 worth Of diamonds

that place and her palms never itched

been left with the hotel clerk and raised
great storm, possibly an effect of the

His First Bath.

A little revolution took place IN the
life OF Jose Miguna yesterday. He re-
ceived bath. Jose is an insane Mexi-
can who was sent to the County Jail
about week ago. He was covered with
filthy rags and the authorities of the jail
put him in cell by himself. When it
became necessary to transfer him to the
tanks it was decreed that he should take
q bath. Jose refused. He declared in
broken English that he had never washed
himself in his life and he did not propose
to begin now. No amount of persuasion
had any effect upon him, and at last he
was seized by several of the TRUSTEES,
stripped and plunged into a warm bath.
He fought vigorously until he felt the
water on his person. and finding it was
not as unpleasant as he had anticipated,
he ceased resistance. After being
scrubbed clean and dressed in new
suit of clothes, he expressed great satis-
faction with the experiment.

Associated Press D1Spafches TO the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, February 24.-The his
tory of the Fiftieth Congress is now prac-
tically written. and in the few remain
ing days of it's existence it is likely to
achieve no important legislation except
the enactment of the remaining appro-
priation bills and the adoption OF the
conference reports OF q few other meas
sures which have already been substan-
TALLY agreed to by both Houses.
In the Senate the Postoffice Appropria-
ton bill will be easily reported and
passed this week with little debate, ex-
cept upon the re-classification scheme.
The passage of the annual appropria-
tions bill will follow as rapidly as tLey
are received from the House and con-
sidered by the Appropriation Committee.
Cullom is determined to press the Okla
homa bill for passage, but the fact that
Butler has secured Pratt's support for
his substitute, gives rise to the expecta-
ton that its course will be in troubled
waters. Certain reports from the Public
Lands Committee, respecting lands in
Kansas and Louisiana, will be urged
upon the attention of the Senate by
Plumb; but Hoar, feeling that be is car
rying out the caucus mandate, will insist
upon the continued consideration OF the
Southern Election Outrages resolution,
yielding only to the appropriation bills,
and as the Democratic Senators have in
no wise changed their purpose to en-
deavor to indefinitely delay affirmative
action upon this resolution, it is probable
that little can be done by the Senate in
the line of general legislation. In the
House a corresponding state OF affairs
exists as the result of entirely different
causes. Tobacco is the stumbling block
there. Randall having the report from
the Committee on Rules, providing for
the consideration of the Cowles
revenue bill at his back, is
prepared to demand action upon
it Just as soon as the appropriation
bills are cleared away. The Deficiency
bill can be disposed of tomorrow, and
the Indian bill, the last of the appropri-
alton bills to come before the House for
initial action, will be called up immedi-
ately afterwards and passed probably
with little delay. The Approximation
bills are in fair shape, and there
is every reason to believe that with
the exception of the River and
Harbor bill, which has failed in every
short session during the past ten years,
they will have reached the President by
next Saturday night. The present stu
alton is as follows: Approved by the
President, the Diplomatic and Consular
and Military Academy; awaiting the
Presidents approval, the Legislst-
i've, Executive and Judicial; il
conference, the District of Colum.

passed the Senate with amendments, the
Naval, Sundry Civil, Army and Agricul-
tural; before the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, the Postoffice before the
House, Deficiency under consideration,

Father Casey,s Lecture.

A goodly audience assembled in
Armory Hall last evening to hear the
celebrated lecturer, Rev. Father P. s.
Casey, of San Francisco, give one of his
oft-spoken-of readings on "Sights and
Scenes in Europe" The reputation for
eloquence which had preceded the rev.
erend gentleman was fully sustained,
and the lecture, which was Of most in
teresting nature, was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present. The entertainment was
given for the benefit of the Sacred
Heart Church OF East Los Angeles,
for the building fund of which every
effort is being made by the clergy. The
arrangements Of the evening, which were
in good hands, went off smoothly, the
following gentlemen being the members
of the lecture committee: g. T. Stamm,

Praise for Parmeti.

LONDON, February 24.-With reference
to the developments before the Parnell
Commission, the Daily Neavs says that it
is hard to be silent upon single topic
of which everybody is thinking and
speaking. Regarding Parnell the News
says: eff he clears his character,
Englishmen will remember the patient
dignity, gentle forbearance, and unflinch-
ing courage with which the greatest liv-
ing IrishmanAhas borne himself under
storms of calumny which would have
broken many a brave spirit. He will
forever rank among the most devoted
sagacious, loyal and unselfsh statesmen
that ever steered country through
storm and peril to honor and safety. MOI
will the names of Walsh and Egan &C
without their due need of praise.

consisting Of Judge R. M. Widney, the
late Wallace Woodwork and the writer,
on his visit here in the Spring of 1884,
the three million six hundred acres of
Los Angeles county are destined to be
the most heavily populated region on
earth. The General added, that that
population would also be the most eclec-
tic. All the snarling and misrepresen-
tation of the press of the northern and
central counties and of the City of the
Golden Gate cannot change this law of
development. 1t is manifest destiny.

Scarlet Fever Epidemic,

BISMARCK, OAK, February 24.-Scarlet
fever, which has been prevalent in this
city and Mandan for some time, has now
reached most alarming stage, and all
possible precautions are being taken by
the authorities of both cities to prevent
its further spread. The city schools,
churches and places of amusement have
been closed, and there is also some talk
of closing up the Legislature.

began to rain and continued pretty much
all day. 1t came just in the nick of time
and will be Of great benefit to the crops.
The downpour was much more copious
in the country and on the coast than in
the city. The indications are that the
farmers heart will be gladdened by all
the precipitation needed to insure a
bountiful harvest.

LAST year Agricultural Park was mac

LAST year Agricultural Park was made
the winter headquarters of some of the
most famous horses on the American
turf. They were brought out here because
it had been discovered by many cele-
brated jockeys that the climate of South
ern California, and Of Los Angeles partic-
ularly, was the best place for wintering
horses in the United States. This year
the experiment of last has been repeated
and improved upon. Four new stables
have been built at Agricultural Park, and
there is now not an empty stall there.
The noted jockey, Nat Mccarthy is here,
and he came out for his health, and he
brings string of famous flyers with him.
johnson and Johnson's mate are at the
Park, with many another world-famed
equine aristocrat. Last winter was the
worst known in Los Angeles since the
American occupation. Mccarthy came
here then seeking health and climate,
and be put that up as an ideal winter.
This year he is more than contented-he
is delighted. The horse in Southern
California attains the very acme of
health. Avicular diseases are not known
here at all. In the West Indies, Cuba
and the other islands of the Caribbean
Sea, it is the practice to send to Canada
and the Western States of the United
States for horses, the snow and long win
ters Of those regions making strong
hoof. The sand and heat of the islands
disables q horse in four or five years.
Here it lie not possible to find evidences
of such diseases, and the California
horse has the best hoof in the world, as
we'll as the most bottom. Mr.. Alfredo
Carrillo, once, when Deputy Sheriff
and at the time he weighed over two
hundred ponnds-rode a small bronco
ono hundred and eighteen miles, serving
process, between sunrise and sunset, and
when the horse was turned ont in the
corral, he kicked up his heels as if moth
ing extraordinary in the way Of endurance
had been shown. The climate Of South
ern California is not only favor
able to the health and develop
ment Of the horse, but some in
feresting facts have been recorded
here as to chickens, from experiments
made with imported game stock from
Michigan. In that State the average
weight Of game cock of mature age is
I've pounds and four ounces. In Los
Angeles the roosters from the imported
stock average six pounds and nine
ounces. It will thus be seen that the
effects Of our exceptional climate are not
restricted to the human race, but en-
brace all orders Of animated nature,
drawing the line at feas, mosquitoes and
psdiculi.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, February 24.-Sev-
eral Mormon missionaries have been
proselyting for some time past in this
section of the country. Two of them in
Dubois county had been claiming to per-
form miracles, but failed to do so. They
were told by number of citizens to
leave the county, but refused.
Friday, while they were exhorting,
several masked men seized them,
stripped and tied them to trees and
gave them fifty lashes each on the bare
backs. They were told they would be
left to themselves until morning, but
would be killed if found in the county on
Saturday. They disappeared, and one
of them, Elder Williams, made journey
of twenty miles to Winslow, which he
reached yesterday. He had left his

THE PRECIPITATION.
The Hearts of Farmers ThrOug hout
the state Made Glad

SAN Francisco, February 42.-Tele-
graphic reports tonight to the Associ-
ated Press, from nearly all parts of the
State show that the rain beginning last
night has been general in all sections.
In the northern part of the State and in
the Sacramento valley the rainfall, up to
6 P. M, varies from three-quarters of an
inch to an inch and half. In the
southern coast counties, extending to and
beyond Los Angeles, the fall has been
from half an inch to two inches. In
middle California rain has fallen at in
tervals during the day, and the indica-
tions are favorable for heavy fall before
the rain ceases. Correspondents state
that the fall sown grain is in splendid
condition. Spring wheat was needing
rain, although not suffering. The indi-
cations at this time, therefore, are that
the grain yield throughout the State will
be large this season.
PASADENA, February 24.-Rain began
falling this morning at 10 O'Clock. Over
one inch has fallen up to this time,
5 P. NJ, with good indications of heavy
downfall during the night. Having had
an unbroken period of sunshine for the
past seven weeks, the farmers
are highly pleased with the pros.
poets of large crops, which the
present rain insures. The present storm
will necessitate suspension of work or

to Mount Wilson, over which the thirteen
inch telescope lens is to be taken for ex
perimental purposes prior to establishing
