S3o, $40 for extra work on the monitor
Puritan, and $20,274 for the care of the

summit of Wilson's peak, near Pasadena,
Cal.
A senate bill appropriating $I0O, 900 for
bronze equestrian statue of Gen. Grant
having been reached, Senator lloar sug-
sested that all equestrian statute would be
hardly the proper mode OF doing honor to
Gen. Grant. Equestrian statues almost
encountered the city of Washington. lie
had hoped when the great brdge across
the Potomac at Arlington Crossing the
boundary line between the sections of the
country was erected, as it would be, Il
suitable memorial might be placed upon
it OF Lincoln and Grant.
Senator Edmunds hoped that, however
inadequate in the long and final sense
this equestrian statue might be, and now
ever much congress might desire by and
by on some memorial bridge or arch to
pay further respect to Grants memory,
this simple thing should be done now
lie moved to omit the word equestrian, y
and this was agreed to. The bill was
further amended by increasing the appro
priation to S3O0, 900, and passed.
Alter an executive session the senate
adjourned
HOUSE.
Conference was ordered on The senate
trust bill and amendments.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill. Mr. McKin-
ley (Ohio) asked that the committee would
proceed as promptly as possible to act
upon the amendments offered by the com
mittee on ways and means. Then other
gentlemen who had substantial benefits
to offer might be recognized.
| Mr.. McMillen (Tenn. declared that the
manner in which this bill was being con
sidered was fair neither to the house nor
to the tax payers of the country. 1t was
utterly impossible to consider and debate
the bill carefully in the few days allowed
by the rigorous rule reported by the com
mittee on rules.
Mr.. Breckenridge IN, " opposed the
amendment which fixes duty of 80 cents
a square yard and 40 per cent ad valorenl
on oriental, Berlin and similar rugs.
! After some debate the amendment was
agreed to.

A heavy pressure in several directions
is being brought to bear upon the com

tariff by the conflicting sugar interests.
Representative Mtkenna has announced
that he will submit q proposition looking
to cut of 33 per cent in sugar duties,
restoring the dividing line from No. l6 to

sugar men will accept this heavy cut
rather than have the bounty plan adopted.

A MONGOOSE PLAGUE,
The EVIL Effects of Bringing the A


The EVIL Effects of Bringing the AMI
mails to Jamaica.
A parallel case to that of the extraordi-
nary plague Of rabbits in Austria and New
Zealand, referred to in the Sun last Mon
day, both in respect to the nature of the
plague and the apparent hopelessness of
any attempt to abate it, exists in the island
of Jamaica, West Indies, where the mon
goose was introduced q few years ago with
results, up to the present time, even more
disastrous than affiict Australia. The OBJ
ject in introducing the mongoose was to
benefit the country by their Kidding it of
plague of rats, but the effect has added
calamity.
The mong0ose is species Of ichneumon
or weasel. 1t is native of India, and has
a great reputation in that country as n de-
stroyer of snakes and small animals. In
Jamaica 1t has earned a reputation for de-
stroying almost every living thing, except
that which it was expected to. Its first
cousin, the icbneumon, is noted and exc
Grated in Egypt as destroyer of poultry
and eggs of every description, fact the
Jamaicans seemed to have overlooked; The
mongoose Is brown In color, has a slender
body about twelve inches long, and in gem
eral appearance is much like the common
weasel. 1t has fierce nature. and is not
at all pleasant animal to have proving
around.

depredations OF rats, which infested the
estates in large numbers, destroying vast
quantities OF young sugar canes, cocoanuts,
bananas and other products and creating
general havoc in the sugar works and store
houses. Seven or eight years ago planter
hit upon scheme which he thought would
settle the difficulty and the rats at the same
time. With the consent and approval of
the Government he procured three or four
couples of mongoose from India and turned
them loose on his estate. They multiplied
rapidly and for time waged fierce war on
the rats, with so much success that the man
who introduced them was hailed as a
public benefactor. But in very short time
the rats found means of avoiding the
mongoose and the m0ng0ose found game

MORE CONVERTS.
Seven Non. Union holders Induced
to Leave the Shops.
Coast seamen and the International Conveu.
tion-Blacksmiths 0rganize-success
of the Union Ball

Since Sunday morning the striking mold
ers have won over to their ranks seven of
the imported non-union men employed in
the shops-six from the Risdon and one
from the City Iron Works. All were imme-
diately dispatched to the East, whence they
came.
At present the committees who had
in charge the ball and entertainment on
Saturday night are absorbed in settling ac-
counts and reckoning the proceeds. AS
near as can be told at present the net pro-
ceeds will foot up between $1,000 and $1,000,
probably not less than one or greater than
the other. The molders are highly pleased
with the result, and look upon the success
of this effort as stamp of public approval.
At the session OF the International IRON
molders, held in Detroit on Saturday last,
President Joseph F. Valentine of the
San Francisco union was elected First
Vice-President, which is high COM
pliment under any circumstances, and
is regarded as greatly more so from
the fact that it is the first time in
the history of the international body
that one Of its members has been
chosen for office who was not present at the
meeting. The office pays $1,000 q year and
expenses, and necessitates great deal of
travelling.
President Valentine stated yesterday
afternoon that the Endorsement of the San
Francisco unions stand by the Inter-
national Union, on Saturday last. and Sc
lection of man from this union for one of
its leading officers, had materially strength
ened the support they were receiving from
sister unions here and elsewhere.

more to their liking and more easier to OBJ
tain. They turned their attention to the
hen ro0sts, eating both young chickens and
eggs,and eventually carrying off the OLD hens
and tho ROSTERS. Their numbers increased
with marvellous rapidity and they began
to prey on everything within reach and
have continued to do so, with the lamenta-
BILE result that almost all the wild birds
which few years ago existed In great
abundance and variety, the snakes. lizards
and small animals, wild and domestic of
every kind, have almost disappeared from
the island. Even the great turkey-buzzards
do not escape, for the pest eats their eggs
and young birds. This latter is most Sc
rious affair, for in Jamaica, as in other trop-
ical lands, the buzZards are the natural and
only scavengers, and but for them the con-
dition of the towns and villages would be
insufferable. PouItry-raising has become
lost art in the country districts and the
spring chicken and the new-laid egg will
soon disappear from the island. for the
towns are being invaded by the mongo0se.
Their holiness increases with their num-
beers, and ii has been averred on excellent
authority that In two instances this year
they have attacked babies. The negroes
have great and increasing dread of them.
The exasperating part of it is that the num-
Der of rats is not sensibly diminishing.-N.

THE NICHOLS MURDER.
Crowley Taken From Virginia City to Cars

Crowley Taken From Virginia City to Carson
for Better Protection.
VIRGINIA CITY, July N.-Pat Crowley,
who killed William Nichols in the Savage
mine last night, was taken to Carson TO-
night at 10 o'clock. The excitement on ae-
count of the murder made the officers deem
it prudent to remove him from the posi-
bility of an attack by mob. A team was
made ready at the stable and the prisoner
was taken there without attracting notice
and placed in carriage, ironed and under
a strong guard, and driven rapidly off. Five
minutes after starting, the alarm-bell sound
ed from the Courthouse and an immense
crowd rushed to the Jail, expecting "601'
making an attempt to take the prisoner out.
1t is said that the authorities ordered the
bell to sound to draw the crowd away from
the road to Carson, but nobody will admit
a knowledge of the affair. Immediately
after the ringing a rockaway dashed to
Emmett Guard Armory, and, taking in
supply of arms, followed the carriage con-
tanning the prisoner before the people
knew he was gone. 1t is reported that
number of the Emmett Guard. of which
Crowley was member, went along for the
protection of the prisoner in case Of an at

MURDERER CAPTURED.

A Chinamsn Arrested for Killing Fellow
Countryman Three Years Ago.
SACRAMENTO, July 1.-About three
years ago, at CORTLAND, Chinaman named
Yam Foo murdered fellow-countryman
named Gum Back Lung. The latter was
big man among his people and the tragedy
created a great sensation in Mongolian
circles. The murderer escaped. however.
and, although active efforts were made TO
effect his capture, he succeeded in eluding
the officers. and search for him mas finally
abandoned. The tragedy had been almost
forgotten, but on Saturday the authorities
here received information from a constable
ID San Diego that he had Yam Foo under
arrest. Chief Drew went to CORTLAND yes
terday to ascertain if the witnesses to the
murder can yet be had. He found that
evidence was available, and swoTe to
complaint charging Yam Foo with murder,
and District Attorney Bruner telegraphed
TO tine San Diego constable TO bring up the
prisoner. The arrest of the murderer came
about in a somewhat peculiar way. 1t
seems that Yam Foo and another Chinaman
had some trouble in San Diego and Yam
Foo caused the other mans arrest. This
rage and he told the constable that IAN Foo
was the one who should be arrested and
proceeded to give an account of how his
enemy had murdered Gum Back Lung at
CORTLAND, and the officer made inquiries
and found that the Chinaman had told the
truth about the murder having been COM
mitted, and that there was 10 doubt he had
in his custody the man charged with the
crime.

KING FOR A DAY.

Fred Collier Is Now Charity Patient
at the County Hospital.
San Franciscans of twenty years ago will
remember Fred Golfers livery-stable, which
then stood on the corner of Kearny and
Sacramento streets. 1t was "the" liver-stable
of the town in those days and was patron
lied by all the smart young men who
wished to treat their best girls to a ride
behind speedy horse.
Those who remember the stable will also
remember its popular owner-that knowing
lover of good horse-fesh, and best posted
man of all the pointer-giving inside ones
Fred Collier. He was one of the chief
sports about town. His pockets always
bulged and ran over with money. His step
was elastic. his laugh hearty and the grip
of his hand was the grip of one who loved
to meet good fellows and be one of them.
Collier loved horse-fesh. He was filled to
the brim with horsey knowledge, and he
turned his knowledge into money. No
lveryman made so much money as he. No
one could better pick out the winner in a
doubtful race. lie was bold in betting, but
he generally won. 1t was easy come, easy
60 with him, and the money that he gath
cred with the right hand he scattered with
the left.
But still he accumulated money, and
when he sold out his stable and decided
upon q trip to Europe he had enough to

and he had health, bright eyes and sturdy
frame with which to enjoy it, This same
man is now lying sick, parayzed and PEN
nlless in Ward c of the City and County
Hospital "a dependant upon the city's
charity.
1t was the old story. Collier went to
Europe and showed the effete, monarchia1-
ridden sportsman how an American boy
could be free with his money. He returned
to San Francisco again, still with a good
amount left in his wallet and, for awhile.
reigned sort of king of the turf. A noted
horse was named alter him-Fred Collier !;
people consulted him for tips; his dictum
as to horses was received as an authority !;
and he lived at the top of his speed.
But reverses came. He lost heavily.
Drink began to muddle his head. His
judgemnt grew faulty and misled his
friends, who shortly deserted him. The
road downward soon took on sharp de-
cline until now he is waiting for death out
among the charity patients in the city's
refuge for such as he.

OF the 60,0O0,O0O people in this country
not few 60 through life bearing names
that are strange, to say the least, curious.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that some of
the II, 107 papers published by part of these
100000 people should bear peculiar titles.
1t would be surprising if they did not.
The present research, which has been re-
stricted to religious publications. serves to
show that mems minds differ as gre atty in
naming papers as in naming children.
For instance San Francisco publisher

Iowa, believer, perhaps, in the aggressive
religion OF former days, would have none Of
this, but called his paper Armory.
