AND now it looks as if our fellow
townsman Osborne will not get the
appointment of Public Printer. He
would have made an excellent superin-
tendent, and the public service would
have been the gamer, whilst his many
friends here would have been graft
fed at his good fortune. Per-
haps the key to this change
of mind in Harrison is to be found in the
belief that he has determined to select a
Californian to fill the post of Minister to
China, and thinks that this would be the
measure of our States just claims in the
administration, after having given her
the missions of Japan and the Central
American States besides. If this sur
mise is correct, for whom has Osborne
been slaughtered? Is it Estee? His
appointment as one of the Commissioners
to the Washington Convention of the
American Republics would seem to let
him out. We are told that Harrison says
this China appointment will astonish the
country even more than that Of Bob Lin
coin to the Court of st. James. We know
OF no prominent Republican in California
whose appointment would create greater
surprise than the selection of Governor
Waterman for that exalted mission. Is
it Bumpkin?

THERE seems now to be a doubt that
the cattle quarantine bill was ever sign
ed. AS far as we can learn the only au-
thority for the assertion that the bill was
approved by the Governor was dis
patch from s. Prentice Maslin, a clerk
in the Governors office, to the
effect that it was signed on the
10th ult. But we are now told
that the Objectionable bill does not ap-
pear in the record of those approved on
that day. Assembly bill No. rs, how
ever, relating to contagious diseases
among animals, became law on the
10Th, and Maslin may have mistaken
that for Senate bill 626, which is
the Objectionable measure. Assembly
bill No. 70 does not prohibit
the importation of cattle from other
States and Territories, and is therefore
not obnoxious to the criticism urged
against Senate bill No. 626, which has
perhaps, after all, never been approved.

THE projected armored monster, for
which bids were opened yesterday at
Washington, If built according to the
plans and found to work as designed, will
be the most formidable war vessel aAoat.
Her armament will be simply terrible in
its protective and destructive power But
one popularity in her design is intended
to render her almost completely invul-
nersble to the missiles of an adver-
sary. That is in the arrangement
by which she will be sunk
before going into action, 80 as to only
present to the enemy surface above the
water line of eighteen inches. This
would reduce her target space to the
minimum, whilst her fighting capacity
would be kept up to the maximum. 1t
is very possible that the bid Of the San
Francisco Union Iron Works may be
awarded the contract to build this great
sea monster.

sHThe Little Tycoom.,,

The best indication of a successful
theatrical combination is the business it
is doing. The success of Willard
Sponsors popular comic opera, The Little
Tycoon, which will be given at the Grand
Opera House nextweek, has been simply
phenomenal. Having scored a hit in
San Francisco and with every prospect
of success in Los Angeles, The Little
Tycoon's record will be complete. No
American opera has ever attained such
success as Willard Spenser's work. The
sale of seats for The Little Tycoon begins
to-day. Notwithstanding the gorgeous
production promised, the management
has decided not to increase the prices.

The Parb ell Commission.

LONDON, April 3.-When the Parnell
Commission met this morning, Sir
Charles Russell resumed argument on
behalf of the Parnellities. He contended
that the objects of the Irish National
League are justifable before God and
man. The issue before the Commission
depended upon the proof that Parnell
and his colleagues, under the cloak Of
the land movement, had planned muir
ders and outrages. If no such evidence
is produced, the Commission must de.
clare the accused to be men who were
earnestly endeavoring TO lift an intoler-
able burden from the shoulders of their
countrymen. The examination of Par
nell is fixed for Tuesday next.

THAT the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Company are in position that may
lead to serious difficulties, there can be
little doubt. The rumor that Jay Gould
had got hold of preponderating amount
Of the stock requires confirmation, bnt
it has the effect of exasperating the Bos-
ton stockholders, who have always had
pride in keeping the control of this
great corporation in their city. 1t
is, however, certain that Boston is losing
stock whilst New York is gaining. The
New York transfer books show an in
crease of three hundred stockholders in
that city since October, whilst the Boston
books show decrease Of one thousand.
This shows that the small Boston stock
holders are losing confidence and trying
to save themselves, and that somebody
in New York is steadily taking the stock
in. Gould works by ways that are mysteri-
Gus and past finding out, and is strongly
suspected of being somewhere in the back
ground of this deal. A rumor to the
effect that the Barings will take hold and
help the road out of its difficulties, may
be taken cum grano sails. The Barings
help nobody who cannot help them
selves. If the road can tide over the
next three months, which are crucial in
its case, it will stand a good chance
to pull through. 1t has in the past three
years extended its rails very extensively
in the West and on this coast. Some
of its new branches are in advance of the
times, but will pay before long. 1t has
penetrated points, for instance in this
section. where there is just now not suf.
ficient profitable traffic to give satisfac-
tory returns; but there is not mile ol
its road hereaway that will not
pay in year or 80 from now.
If the principal Boston stockholders
will make up their minds to stand by
the corporation and see it through, il
will come out all right. And we think
they will, from the indications thrown
out.

in this city this morning of the arrival at
Key West OF the steamer Nanticoke All

vessel which was supposed to have been
in collision with the Haytien gunboat
Conserva, off Norfolk, Va, one day last
week. Until the receipt of this news
neither OF these vessels have been heard
from, and the amount and character of
the wreckage found floating in the vicin-

Cottage suffrage Meeting,

The annual meeting of the Cottage
Suffrage Society, held Tuesday, was de-
voted to business. The society has held
one public meeting during the past year.
This meeting is called "public" simply
to distinguish it from the regular, less
elaborate, more home.like meetings
given semi-monthly. All are really
public and everybody is cordially well
coined. The work of the society during
the year has been chiefly petition-work.
Two thousand headings, asking the
Legislature to grant to California's g
daughters municipal suffrage were sent
out through the length and breadth of
the land. The President stated that
from Los Angeles and vicinity $3.50
names had been secured and forwarded.
The following officers were elected {:
President, Elizabeth A. Kingsbury Vice
Presidents, Aseneth s. Marshall, Lau-
retta James, Mary Ives Todd; Recording
Secretary, Alice M. McComus; Core
spending Secretary, Matilda j. Berra
Executive Committee, Sophia W. Knight,
Matilda J. Berra, Lauretta James.
Mesdames McComus, Berra, Knight
and Todd were appointed committee to
supply the press with such items con-
cerniDg the Cottage meetings as were
deemed advisable.
All the business being disposed of, and
some members rising for departure, the
lady who SO kindly throws open her par
lor for these meetings here stepped for

seated for little while. Scarcely had
the words been spoken when there APP
