The series of experiments which have
been given for scientists, mechanical en-
gineers and others since my return
closed on the 18th. The steady progress
from week to week since the accident to
the disintegrator was repaired has
given beautiful evidence of the
wisdom of the plan adopted by
Mr.. Keely in the winter of 1SSS-'S9,
which lead him to turn his atten-
tion to class of experiments of quite a
different nature from those which up to
that time had been given for CONNER
cial ends; experiments which have not
failed to convince all who attended the
entire series that Mr.. Keely is dealing
with an unknown force, the laws gov
erning which he is still in partial
ignorance concerning. He admits now
that he cannot construct pat
entable engine to use this force
until he has mastered the principle,
and now fund, with the approval OF
scientists, has been appropriated for his

that he will waste no more time upon

IMMIGRATION EVILS.

Assistant Secretary Tichenor Writes a
Letter on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-Assistant Sec
retary Tichenor has written a letter to
the house committee on appropriations
in regard to the immigration laws and
the Chinese exclusion act. He calls at
tention to the fact that while the immi-
grant law prohibits the landing in this
country of convicts, lunatics, idiots and
paupers, who come by water in vessels
of any description, it fails to meet the
case of immigrants of this character
who enter the country by land
from contiguous territory. The de-
partment has received reports that a
large number of these people recently
drifted into this country from Mexico
and Canada. Tichenor suggests an
amendment to the law to prevent the
continuance of this kind of immigration.
He recommends an increased appropria-
ton for the enforcement of the alien
contract labor law and Chinese exclu-
sion act, and also that the secretary be
authorized to return to China at the
governments expense all Chinamen
found in the United States in violation
of the law.

they cannot be occupied.
Twenty families, numbering about
seventy-tive persons, are out of house
and home, and are being sheltered by
friends. OF eighteen persons injured
all will probably recover.
Seventy-fve buildings, including barns
and outhouses, were damaged by the
wind, and not one escaped that was in
the direct line of the tornado. Uprooted
trees are counted by the scores. Out
houses in some cases were transplanted
from fifty to one hundred feet and set
down in neighboring yards.
Thousands of people visited the scene
of destruction today. In several
churches relief papers were started, and
several thousand dollars was raised for

toriouS.
About two hundred spectators wit
messed the second game between the
Los Angeles and Moody's baseball
teams, at Athletic park, yesterday after
noon, and once again the latter nine
suffered defeat at the hands of their op-
ponents, who put up too strong game,
and outclassed them in every way. Had
it not been for an error on the part of
Pier, who threw to second base in the
seventh innings, when there was no
man to receive the ball, the Moodys
would have been completely white
washed; but as it was, they secured
one tally due to the above error; while
the home team piled up score Of eleven
runs. Crosby and Farley constituted
the battery for the defeated nine. The
former was considerably knocked about
by the home team, but it must be con-
ceded that had he been backed up in
better shape he would have done more
execution, as the "hard-hitters" gave
good many unaccepted chances. His
support was not very strong either, and
the Angelefios stole bases whenever
they liked.
Pier pitched fairly good games and
little Ward supported him in fine style.
The score is as follows:

Men Should Not Ride Astrjde.

The suggestion made by your cores
pondent &C.," that if it be essential to
introduce uniformity in the way of rid
ing it may be best for men to adopt the
side saddle, is not so absurd as it seems.
1t might certainly be done sometimes.
1t reminds me of saying of Miss
King, the Irish rider and trainer, that
there was only one riding master she
had ever seen from whom she was will
ing to take any advice as to riding. That
is master in one of the London schools,
who always uses side saddle if he has
particularly fractious and self-willed
horse to train, and that because he
knows that the horse under that saddle
cannot throw him off. This only proves
what has been so often said that the
side saddle affords the most secure seat
A further proof of this was incident
ally afforded last Saturday in Central
park, when party of four women and
one riding master, finding themselves
followed by a runaway horse and a
mounted policeman, preferred to assert
their right to remain in the middle of
the road rather than turn out on
the grass or ride through an
open gate into the transverse
road. The result OF their declaration of
independence was the stopping of the
two galloping horses by plunging into
the line of five which barricaded the
way. There was something of shock.
Fortunately nobody was killed, not even
the policeman, who had in vain blown
in his three-whistle signal of danger, but
while the riding master was pitched
clean out of his saddle, none of the
women were thrown.-[ Annie G. Brack-

TARIFF REFORM.
MR.. CLEvELAND'S FAvORITE TOPIC
OF DISCUSSION.
The Ex-PresidenG Answers Some Cues
tions for the Farmers Alliance-He is
Glad to See Them Waking up.

PITTsBURG, May ia special from
Steubenfeld, Ohio, says A few weeks
ago the corresponding secretary of the
local lodge of the Farmers Alliance
wrote to ex-President Cleveland, en-
closing a copy of the declaration of pur-
poses OF the alliance, and asking Mr..
Cleveland's views thereon also on the
protective tariff. Mr.. Cleveland has re-
piled at some length. In the course of
his letter he says the indifference the
farmers OF the country have shown to
the adjustment of the tariff system, and
the ease with which they have been led
away from the sober consideration OF
their needs and rights have excited his
surprise.
struggle as they may" said he, "the
farmers must continue to be purchasers
and consumers of numberless things en-
hanced in cost by the tariff. Surely
they have a right to insist that this cost
shall not be increased for the purpose of
collecting unnecessary revenue, or to
give undue advantage to domestic manu-
facturers. The plea that the infant in
dustrles need protection, which i'm
poverishes the farmers and consumers,
is; in view of our national advantages
and skill and the ingenuity of our peo-
pie, hollow pretext. A plausible
presentation OF the blessings of home
market should not deceive the i'm
poverished agriculturists. There is no
market for them which does not take it's
instructions from the seaboard, and the
seaboard transmits the. word OF foreign
markets."
Mr.. Cleveland expresses his pleasure
at seeing the farmers arousing them
selves to tariff reform.

CHIco, May ia dispatch from st.
John, Colusa county, eight miles from
Chico, gives an account of terrible
tragedy on the ranch of James Finnell,
in which two Chinese were butchered in
highbinder style. All Won, All Chung
and All Toy, three Chinese wood-chop
pers, occupied an isolated cabin on the
banks of the Sacramento. The men
were not seen for about week, and yes
terday All Chung and All Toy were
found in the cabin literally cut to pieces.
The coyotes had been feasting on their
bodies, and they presented a horrible
sight. All Chung's throat was cut, and
the head hanging to the body only by
threads of flesh. His skull was fractured
in several places, and his body was
mass of bruises. On bunk lay
the body of All Toy, his throat cut and
mangled, his skull split from the top to
the mouth, right leg cut off and left foot
partially severed from the body. A
razor, covered with blood, was found; !;
also 38-caliber five-shooter, with four
chambers empty, and an axe near the
body, ground to- razor sharpness. The
only clue to the murderer is the fact
that last Tuesday DR.. Duncan, of Col
usa, attended a Chinaman at Orland,
who had been wounded by pistol-ball.
He said he had quarreled with two
companions, and they shot him. He
said he defended himself with an axe,
but gave the impression that he re-
ceived the worst Of the fight. Thursday
he disappeared, saying he was going to
Napa, but no trace of him can be found.

The Meaning of Christian Shandy."

Uncle Toby, in 'Tristam Shandy,"
with his campaigns and his fortresses, is
an epitome of the follies of his race. The
philosophy of Tristan Shandy may be
summed up in this-the infnitesimally
small governs the world. This was a
branch of psychological inquiry
which Sterne made his own. The
great effect produced by insig-
nifcant causes he worked up into
what might be called moral
molecular theory. The atom of the
moral world is the hobby-horse. AL
ways and in all men it is sure to be, at
the back OF the wisest brain-an infantile
survival. 1t lasts into old age. 1t is
not only the ruling passion, but if we
may so say, the ruling faculty in man.
1t inspires the imagination, and the inn
agination moves the reason. Reason is
the nominal sovereign, but the reality
of power rests with the hobby-horse.
