davits the alleged facts therein mentioned
to show that no reference thereto was made
in the original complaint. Judge Arm
strong was one member of the public, for
whose inspection those affidavits were
published, and was it not intended tbs;
he should see and read the new facts not
contained in the complaint? Why were
the affidavits published during the inter-
val between the submission of the csse
and the judgment of the Court?
Mr.. Mcguire proceeded at length to
criticize the conduct of the respondents,
citing authorities from time to time in sup
port of the claim that the act complained
of constituted contempt of Court. One de-
cision was quoted in a case in which it was
held that a publication that might have
influenced q Court-whether it did or not
was in contempt.
Referring to the allegation of the plant
ifs in the original suit that the acts of the
boycotters were conducive to the destruc-
ton of trade, Mr.. Mcguire held that the
business of community could not be les
sened by transferring trade from one firm
to another. The boycott, he said, was as
old as civilization itself; it was brought to
America on the Mayfower and at once
naturalized and put into practice in the
case of Roger Williams. There were no
rights guaranteed TO journalists that they
did not possess as citizens-there was no
higher law for a journalist than for any
other citizen. If citizen could not indi.
vidually bring the affidavits to Judge Arm
strong's attention. he could not legally do
so through newspaper.
Mr.. Mcguire spoke for one hour and a
half, and the case was then submitted to
the Court and taken under Amusement.

SSuSIdl improvement III ZIG Wy
GENERAL CITY IMPROVEMENT.
1t may not be considered out of place to refer
here to the general progress that has been made
in Sacramento city during the past year. 1t is
certainly very gratifying to the business COM
munity to note anything in the line of progress
and improvement. Early in the year there was
organized what is known as the Sacramento
Street Improvement Company. Il was the re-
suit of meeting called BY the Sacramento Inn
bers of the Board of Trade, besides many other
citizens, took stock in the Incorporation the OBJ
iect of the company being TO reduce the expense
of street improvement to the lowest possible
amount in order that the streets might be more
generally raised and graded. Later on, at a
special election, 1t was decided that the city
should issue bonds to the amount OF slO0 00O for
| the purpose of aiding in the work by paying
onefourtn of the cost al the expense of the city.
The result has been far beyond the expectations
| of the most sanguine, and think II is safe to
| say that more work has been done during the
| past six months than was accomplished in any
| ten years before. About fifteen miles of streets
| have been graded since June last. As result
Sacramento has great many very good streets,
| and it is now possible during the wet season to
| reach the city from any direction on good solid
roadways. which was not possible before. The
| improvement Association is certainly TO be con-
| graduated upon the success OF its enterprise.
| Great Improvements are also being made IN our
| sidewalks, the patent stone pavement having
| been substituted for the old wooden sidewai ks
| on great many blocks during the last year;
and it now being compulsory to build stone
| sidewalks whenever the wooden ones get out OF
repair, i. is only question of very shors time
when all sidewalks in the city will be of this
material The oldawnings also are being rapidly
torn down, and our principal streets are assum-
| ing a greatly improved appearance in conse-
| Quence.
During the year the city has been thoroughly
supplied with electric lights at each alternate
| street intersection so that at the present time
Sacramento is probably the best lighted city on
the coast. This must be regarded as an i'm.
portant improvement.

Great Britain's Big War Fleet.

LONDON, Jan. 1o.-A despatch from Zanzibar states that there is much ex- citement and conjecture over the con- stant arrival of British men-of-war. The British fleet now in those waters is said to be the largest ever assem bled.
 Surmises are ripo as to it's object, but the prevailing opinion is that it is des- tined for the coast of Mozambique, to put a stop to Portuguese aggression and protect British interests in the in terior.
 : The fleet is under scaled orders, and awaits final despatches from London.
 It is generally believed that ill the absence of satisfactory assurance from Lisbon it will be ordered to proceed to occupy Delagoa Bay.
 The correspondent of the "Stand- ard" at Lisbon says that.Senhor Comes, in his reply to the latest note of Lord Salisbury, will agree to the demands of the English Government that Portugal suspend all action ill the Shire district and Nyassaland, and withdraw all armed force from debarable territory. In event of the failure of the subse- quent negotiations Portugal wall ap- peal to the good offices of the powers.

CITIZENS AROUSED.
Murderer Laplant May be Summarlly
 Dealt With.

HAvERH1LL, N. H., Jan. 1O.-This usually quiet town is aroused to the highest indignation, and it is only by the strong efforts of the lawabiding citizens that Laplant the murderer of his innocent grandchildren, has not all ready been summrrily dealt with. The feeling has been so strong againt him that the officers of the law keep the closest watch, lest mob should foroe an entrance to the jail
 Laplant cries constantly: "Oh, why did I do it, and starts at the slightest noise for fear some harm may reach him. He admits that rum has been the cause of the ugly fits, as he terms them, and he repeatedly calls upon the AL mighty for vengeance upon those who sold him liquor during his life.
 Such is the feeling among the most prominent citizens and others who have visited the jail, that. should sufficient evidence be given as to where he got liquor before the murder, that they would strenuously demand tho rigid en- forcement of the law.
