THE CENSUS.

Substantially Accurate.

A Careful Examination Will Show IL
Substantially Accurate.
WASHINGTON, November 1Qth.-Superin-
tendent of Census Porter has written an
article in reply to the critics of the Census
Office, iu which he deprecates the idea that
partisan census is possibility. He says;
"To assault the census is to impeach the
honesty of 10000 intelligent working peo.
pie, who have labored faithfully. Those
making the charges are either reckless
demsgcgues or ignorant partisans. The
whole country, including myself, is disap-
pointed at the result which is not surpris-
ing, as the popular key was pitched too
high. The enumeration was not con-
Quoted in partisan spirit. Many Super
visors were inGorsed by the leaders Of both
political parties, and the enumerators and
special agents were mostly those who served
in a like capacity ten years ago"
Porter discusses the count in New York
city, and gives as his reasons why the
police showed greater population, the re-
turn of the summer absenteeS and the in
fiux of 125, 900 Immigrants who arrived
during4he Interval. He says: From in
formation l have, the rule adopted by the
police when in doubt was to add one. In
this way two doubtful cases in each hun.
dred would add 10000 to the population
A recount simply at the request of the
Mayor without proof would have brought
the Census Office in disrepute."
The most of the article is merely a repe-
tition of statistical information already
known, and concludes:
"a careful and intelligent examination
will satisfy the fair-minded people of the
substantial accuracy of the eleventh cen.
sus, and verdict based on such study is all
that is asked"

MINER Al LANDS.
An Entry Cannot Be Made in Favor of
Foreign Corporation.

An Entry Cannot Be Made in Favor of a
Foreign Corporation.
WASHINGTON, November 10th.-On Octo-
Der %, 1875, Milton S. Latham made min
eral application for the Buchanan Copper
mine, in the Stockton Land District, Cali
fornia, and on March IA, 1876, made a
mineral entry thereon. On June II, 1888,
B. F. Hook and D. Mcintyre filed protest
against the issue of a patent on said entry,
and hearing was ordered, at which evil
dence was adduced sufficient to show the
local officers that the application and entry
were made by Latham in behalf of THE
London and San Francisco Bank, Limited :"
foreign corporation, orgsnized and exist
ing under the laws of England. They,
therefore, held that the entry had been
made in contravention of Section 2319, Re-
vised Statutes
An appeal was taken, and Acting Secre-
tary Chandler says: ut appears beyond
all doubt that Latham made said entry in
behalf of said foreign corporation. In the
the case of the Capricorn placer 10 L O.,
64l) it was held that United States citi-
zen, acting as trustee of an alien corpora
ton, cannot make mineral entry for the
benefit of such corporation. In accordance
with that ruling this entry must be can
celled. The facts relating to mortgages
and their foreclosures are irrelevant to this
issue. Legal title remains in the United
States. and patent can issue only upon an
entry made in accordance with the law.
The Commissioner decision is therefore
affirmed

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
An Old and Wealthy Citizen of Merced
County Murdered.

County Murdered.
MERGED, November 10th.-A horrible
murder was committed last night near
Merced Falls, small village on the Mer-
ced river, about twenty miles from this
city. John L. Ivett, 20 years of age, worth
half million and without an enemy, was
the victim.
Ivttt lived at his ranch near Merced
Falls with his wife, a young girl Of 20, to
whom he had been married about two
years He had two houses, one occupied
by his ranchmen, of whom there were usu-
ally dozen, and the other in which he
lived himself. The latter house was about
200 yards from the other, up small hill.
1t was lvett's practice to retire early, and
last evening he left the lower house saying
he would go home and write a letter to his
wife, who has been in San Francisco for
some time. He was not seen again until
this morning. when one of the ranchmen
found his body at the head of the stairway
leading to the wine cellar.
1t is copiectured that after going home
Ivett lit lamp and commenced to write a
letter to his wife, as the unfinished pages
were found on his desk. II is supposed
that the murderer rode up 10 the house at
this time, tied his horse outside, and en-
tering the room were Ivett was, ecgsged in
conversation with him. Ivett, who was
very hospitable old gentleman, doubtless
invited the man to go to the wine cellar
with him, as This was his rule with all Wis.,
itors. 1t is supposed that as they came up
from the wine cellar together, Ivett stop
psd to close the cellar door, when the other
man struck him two murderous blows on
the head with hatchet or similar instru-
ment. The old man fell partly down the
stairway, the cellar door catching and hold
ipg his foot.
The Coroner's Jury is now in session,
but nothing definite as to the identity of
the murderer is yet known. 1t is thought
that robbery could not have been the mo-
tive for the crime, as no veluables in the
house or on the body were disturbed.

MURDERoUs ASSAULT.
Railroad Commissioner Rea Seriously
Injured by an Eremy.

Injured by an Ecemy.
SAN JOSE, November 10th. = Rsiiroad
Commissioner James W. Rea was the VIC
tim of a murderous assault to-day. This
afternoon he went with his father, Thomas
Rea, of Gilroy, to the office of the Light
and Power Company, and the latter told
Secretary Walter Gillespie that he wished
his stock in The company transferred to his
son, James W. Rea. The reason said was
that Uriah Wood and other members of
the company during the campaign had cir
culated report that Commission Rea had
abused the trust of his father and misuse
his funds. He desired to give the lie to the
statement and show confidence in his son
by transferring all his stock to him.
Gillespie made insulting remarks, and
when warned by Commissioner Rea 10 de-
sist, redoubled his abuse Mr. Rea, senior,
prevented his son and Gillespie from COM
ing to blows, but Gillespie finally ran for
his pistol Commissioner Rea headed him
off, when Gillespie picked up heavy steel
pinch bar and struck him three hard blows
On the head, making big gashes and nearly
telling Rea to the floor. By superhuman an
effort Commissioner Rea rallied and dealt
Gillespie stunning blow on the neck with
his fist, then grabbed him by the collar and
punished him until he begged for mercy.
Rea is one of the principal stockholders
in the new light company, which has Sc
cured all the public business and large
portion of the private lighting, and the
feeling against him on the part Of the
members of the old company is very bitter.
The wounds in his head are severe and
bled profusely, but serious results are not
apprehended.

About the Restrictions Against Them.

Secretary Rush Has Something to Say
About the Restrictions Against Them.
WAsHINGToN, November 10th.-The at
tention of Secretary Rusk was to-day called
to report cabled, in which British Minis
ter of Agriculture Chaplin is represented
as opposing the removal of the restrictions
of the British Government against live cat
tie from the United States. The Secretary
said that Chaplin was taking the side of
those whose interests led them to oppose
the free introduction of American store
cattle, and seemed to forget that this coun-
try had abundant evidence that there ex-
lists among the purchasers of store cattle in
England and Scotland a widespread feeling
in favor of the unrestricted importation of
cattle from this country, provided they can
be allowed with perfect safety TO British
cattle
The Secretary construes the resolution
recently adopted by the Agricultural Coun-
Gil to mean that it is simply question of
time when the British Government will
feel obliged 10 remove the restrictions from
any country which can show conclusively
that the disease has been eradicated. Just
as soon as sufficient time has, in my opin-
ion, elapsed since the last case of pleuro-
pneumonia occurred in this country, shall
made an official declaration of its complete
eradication, and shall strive to satisfy the
British Government that the disease
does not exist here If this does not Sc
cure withdrawal of these restrictions,
England will have TO at least abandon her
charge of unhealthfulness of our cattle IS
the cause. There are buyers, as we'll as
sellers abroad, and they will probably see
to it that their interests also receive some
attention.
Referring to Secretary Chaplin's asser-
ton that pleuro-pneumonia still existed
here, Secretary Rusk said Il unhesi-
tatingly challenge Chaplin to point out a
single case OF pieuro- pneumonia now ex-
isting among American cattle. OF course
| cannot tell what is his source of informa
ton, but whatever it is he is grievously
misled. One thing is certain, and that
is, that it has now been over six months
since allegations have been made by the
British officers of the discovery of pleuro-
pneumonia among cattle from the United
States landed in Great Britain"

ure of the rates of yield per acre make the
average for corn 10 8 bushels; potatoes. 81 8
bushels; buckwheat, II bushels; hay, 20
tons, and tobacco, rs pounds. Thescorn
crop makes the smallest yield reported, ex-
cept that of 1881, which was is bushels.
1t is So per cent. of the average of the last
ten years. The decline of the last decade
is not due to the impairment of fertility,
but to unfavorable meteorological infiu-
ences. The average rate of yield of potatoes
is 81 bushels. The condition of the crop
in October was lower than any reported pre-
vious crop. except 1887, when the rate of yield
was Sc 9 bushels. 1t imports scarcity and
warrants high prices. The yields Of hay
are large as rule throughout the country.

POLITICAL ECONOMY.
Teachers in German National Schools
Must he Familiar with The snhiect

BERLIN, November 10th.-The National
Zeitung says: The Emperor will shortly
issue an edict directing that teachers in the
national schools must be familiar with the
principles of political economy, to enable
them to demonstrate the error of socialistic
teachings. More attention will be paid to
the comprehension of the ethical side of
religion. In the higher schools recent
modern history, especially of Prussia,
must be taught, and the benefits which the
Prusslan Kings have always con-
tered on workingmen must be inculcated.
The edict was drafted before Bismarck re-
signed.
