there was no evidence of any fraud in

Is it not about time the press of the
state stopped wrangling over the falling
off in the Republican majority and turned
its attention TO advocating some good
wholesome and effective legislature this
fall? The people of the state care vastly
more about what is to be done in the
legislature this fall than they do about
how much majority Gov. Page got or
why he did not get more.

There were no new phases yesterday to

around the foundries and the headquarters
of the strikers.
President Valentine claimed that two
men imported by the foundrymen
from Springfield, Illinois. had been
captured through the aid Of
union man, who had come
all the way out here with them. The three
men left Springfield five days ago and came
over tie Northern Pacific route. On the
way out the union man spoke to them, and
when they landed induced them to 60 to
the headquarters of the strikers, and are
there now
Mr.. Valentine says it has not yet been
decided what to do with them. He claims
that he does not know who paid their fare
out, as they have not been asked.
The union molders yesterday received
500 from the iron and steel workers of the
Pacific Rolling Mill, and SIS from Iron
molders' Union, No. 70, of Springfield, Ill.

The couriers sent out by the Cheyenne Indians

him and talked with him. They located him in.
the mountains beyond Salt Lake, and from their
description OF him he is an old man with long
white beard, which hangs down over his breast.
Some days he wears white hair and at other
times has no hair on his head, from which It
would appear that he is baldheaded and wears a
wig. He made one of the Cheyenne Indians who
visited him high priest, and Instructed him Ia
the rites and mysteries OF the new religion. He
gave him the figures and ceremonies of the new
Indian dance, which takes four nights and one
finished their first performance Of this religious
dance al the Rosebud Agency, and it has
occasioned great enthusiasm among them. The
Indians are TO perform this dance four times in
four moons (months) and then they will hear
again from the new Christ, who Will instruct
them what further 10 do. They all believe in the

MoRTUARY REPORT.
De cided Improvement in the Public Health

De cided Improvement in the Public Health
Throughout the State
SACRAMENTO, May 1.-THE report of the
State Board OF Health for April shows that the
mortality reports received from one hundred
localities throughout the State, containing an
estimated population of S25. $50, give the mum.
Der OF decedents as 1887, monthly percentage
Of 1.28 per 1000. or an annual mortality at the
rate OF 10 per 1000, which is marked de.
crease from the preceding three months,
and indicates a decidedly favorable con-
dltion OF the public health through
out the State. Diseases OF the respiratory or
gans along the coast counties were quite fatal
and added materially to the death rate. Deaths
from zymotlc diseases were quite limited and
added but small Fraction TO the total mortality.
Consumption caused 1877 deaths. which,
while above the average, is considerably
less than occurred during the previous thre6
months from this cause. Pneumonia is credited
with 1o2 deaths, which Is also decrease OF over
one third OF those reported monthly since De-
cember. Bronchitis caused fifty deaths, which
Is slight increase from the number reported
last month. DlphtherIa and Group caused
twenty seven deaths. Reports from 100 locali-
ties indicate a favorable condition of the public
health during April, characterized by the entire
absence OF epidemic diseases aud The minimum
amount OF Zymotic diseases. Wherever II did
exist, influenza has nearly disappeared, and is
mentioned In but a few reports.

THE STRAUS BRIBERY.


, Judge Blk Listens to Arguments and Re-
serves Decision.
Attorney George A. Knight made a mo-
tion yesterday before Police Judge Rix to
dismiss the charge of bribery against Wong
Kane. Chinese, and CASTOR Straus, an at
torney, charged with bribing Howard Yer
non, the official steDographer of the court.
The motion was denied.
Knight advanced the startling PROPOSE
ton in his argument that an attorney for
the defense is not legally, professionally
nor honorably bound to furnish the Prose-
cutting Attorney with true and full tran
script of appeal to the higher court. 1t is
the Prosecuting Attorneys duty to see that
Vernon, was not bribed as a ministerial
officer, but paid to copy ON typewriter a
transcript Of appeal to suit the defense. and
as the defense thought it should be,
Prosecuting Attorney Dunno claimed that
any attempt to bride Mr.. Vernon in con
nection with business in that court was
asking him TO violate his oath of office.
The decision in the case will be rendered
some day this week

PREPARED TO KILL.
Highbinders Fire Ten Shots, but
Miss Their Mark.

The higbbinders were out yesterday
morning, at Z o'clock, on Dupont street,
near Jackson. having little exercise with
their horse pistols, but all escaped without
injury.
At 6 80 o'clock in the morning four Chi
nese stopped on the corner of Waverly
place and Washington street and argued
for while, and the longer they talked the
louder grew their words. Finally they
worked themselves into a rage, and one.
who was much taller than the rest, ceased
arguing and cried aloud: Xxi til XII tip
This was the signal for desperate fight
the Chinese cry of bravadO, which is
uttered only when the speaker Is prepared
to kill his adversary.
No sooner were the words spoken than
the four angry Chinese ran down Washing
ton street to Dupont quickly as they
could, shouting and ''ki-ti-ing" at the top of
their voices. In turning the corner into
Dupont street they closed in upon each
Der and began a hasty fusillade among
themselves. Their aim was not careful,
and they became frightened at the noise Of
their own pistols and did not remain to
finish the work. Ten shots were fired, but
none took effect. The bullets penetrated
signs overhead, and some were fattened
against the walls.
The frightened highbinders beat a hasty

the police, who arrived Immediately after
the shooting took place.
peddler received slight wound of the
upper lip from a bullet which plowed
through his skin.
The trouble grew out OF a dispute over a
money settlement among four members of
highlander society of the 81 Yup Com
pany. The tall Chinese said that one of
the three owed him some money for sery-
ices rendered possibly in the late murder).
but would not pay a cent of the amount, SO
ne wanted to be revenged there and then.
Since the strict police regulations In the
Chinese quarter have taken in great
measure the chief means of support from
the gangs of lawless highbinders there is
not much money floating about now in these
societies for paving blackmailers, robbers
and assassins. This is supposed to be the
reason for the attempted killing yesterday
morning.
The Chinese witnesses maintained a
stolid indifference regarding the affray
when questioned by the police, and some
witnesses even went so far as to saw that
there was no shooting. The particpants
have not been caught.
