FROM THE ORIENT.
The City of Peking Lowers Her Record
The War in FOrmosa,

The war in FOrmoSa.
SAN FRANcIsCo, June 4.-The steamer
CITY of Peking arrived from Hong Kong
and Yokohama tonight, fifteen days,
two hours and forty minutes from the
latter port, being the best time ever
made by this steamer. She brought 1O2
Chinese passengers in the steerage
Count and Countess Ramuda, of Japan.
were among the cabin passengers.
The War in Formosa.
Advices received by the steamer City
OF Peking tonight state that the war
against the savages in Formosa is being
conducted in desultory manner. The
Chinese troops have suffered several Sc
we're repulses, and are unable to make
any progress in the subjugation of the
country. 1t is believed that the troops
in North Formosa have lost heavily,
both from attacks of the enemy and
from disease. The expedition returned
to Tumsui, and the governor, being
chagrined at the failure of the troops,
degraded General I'll, who was in COM
mand. A colonel was also beheaded
for appropriating the pay OF the troops.
In South Formosa also the whole Bhotan
tribe of aborigines have again taken to
the war path, caused by the arrest and
confinement of two of their number for
petty ofenses. The tribe marched
against the city where the men were
confined and threatened to kill the in
habitants unless the prisoners were re-
leased. The men were accordingly sur
rendered and the Bhotans departed. An
expedition was quickly planned and a
| force of 5000 men has been sent after
the savages, who have retreated to the
| mountains.

THE house caucus yesterday had an
other seance on the silver bill, and the
dispatches are not sufficiently clear to
enable one to judge of the full scope OF
McKinley's amendment. 1t provides
for the purchase of "a 100000 of silver
monthly, and the issue therefor of silver
certificates of legal tender quality. The
whole dispatch is dubious in the ex-
treme. All of the intelligent friends OF
silver, beginning with Bland, are on the
Democratic side of the house,
while in the senate there are
some conspicuously able representatives
of the white metal on the
Republican side. Until these gentlemen
are heard from, in the absence OF the
full debate, it is neither practicable nol
expedient to pass an opinion upon the
status of silter legislation. The one
patent and not to be avoided deduction
as to the silver question is that If the
Republican party does not pass good
and satisfying measure its name, to en-
ploy the language of the vulgar, is

In THE councilmanic proceedings yes
terday there were two points OF interest.
One was Mayor Hazards veto of the
First-street grade of one in. twenty,
which would leave our hills an unsightly
mass, which would be the opposite OF
that thing OF beauty which is JOY for
ever. The 'city dads" have failed to
pass the ordinance over the mayors
veto. The council also instructed the
city attorney to initiate measures to for
felt the franchise of the Second-street
cable railway. The latter measure is q
good one. The travesty of having one
of our leading thoroughfares unutilized
to say nothing Of its being obstructed in
this ridiculous fashion, has passed the
point of suferance.

cloture act would be enforced in full
measure. But, just now, there
is no disturbance, and new ex-
reriments should be undertaken
with great reserve. 1t would be pity
to side-track Los Angeles and leave her
high and dry on the mesas. The Sab
bath or Sunday was made for man, and
not man for the Sabbath, according to
the sententious declaration of Jesus
Christ. In view of the fact that Los
Angeles is absolutely the most law-abid-
ing place in the United States no radical
departures are called for just now.

FLOODS AND CYCLONES.
The Cause for Their Apparent Increase
is the Leveling of the Forests.

Floods, cyclones and dronths belong to
the same family.
The ak is father to them all Human
stupidity is their mother. Nature is no
more to blame for them than is the blind
earth which the digger undermines till
it falls on him.
The AK kills trees. With the trees
killed the SHOWS of winter melt more
quickly under the rain and sun OF early
spring. With the trees killed, swamps.
fallen logs and leaves that once held
back the waters for months, no longer
act The waters rush to their natural
outlets without opposition. The rapid
transit OF the waters clogs the great
natural channels and they overflow into
new ones, carrying devastation wherever
they rush. The more the AK is used the
higher rise the waters. Bad goes on to
worse. The end no human wit can fore
tell.
TIE destruction of the forests has
eliminated the principal factor in modi-
flying the movement of air currents
Like the trade winds on the ocean, the
air currents over sections denuded of
forests flow freely and persistently for
long periods without change. AS
change is necessary in the move
ments of the air in order to
have change in the rainfall, it follows
that persistency in air currents caused
by forest destruction means long
''spells" of dryness at one period and
long "spells" of wet at another Thus
floods are sometimes aggravated
as much by unusual wet "spells''
as by the rapid transit of the
waters to their natural channels
in consequence of conditions just
mentioned. When both causes conjoin
terrible floods are inevitable. Destruc-
tive drouths must follow excessive rain
falls, for the average rainfall varies but
little from year to year in a given
locality. An excess at one time means
scarcity at another.
So, too, cyclones, like simoons, are
only possible where enormous areas OF
| country unbroken by forests exist. The
winds gather force as they go, or rather
freedom to move easily means that they
will go quicker than if obstructed. A
point of refraction means that the sur
rounding atmosphere will rush in to res
tore equilibrium. If there is nothing to
oppose the oncoming air, it will move
rapidly. The forest is the greatest OF
modifers to wind storms, holding them
back and checking them; and, doing so,
tending to modify sudden and rapid cases
Of rarefaction.
The flood, drouth and cyclone admon-
ish the people of the United States to be
wise. If they heed not the admonition
they must pay the penalty. The spec
tacle presented in the valleys of the
Mississippi and its tributaries, and
along the track of the cyclone that de-
vastated Louisville, should be enough
to cause some serious thinking. These
spectaces can be excelled. Give the AK
time and bribe it to do its uttermost,
and horrors now seen will be mercies
compared with horrors that will newt
ably follow.-[ cleveland Press.

A GENTLEMAN who occupies an official
position in California, and who was for
years resident of Los Angeles, is at
present in this city. He says that no.
where in California are there such evil
dences of existing and coming prosperity
as exist here today. He adds that,
everywhere, the vines are coming out in
great luxuriance, showing that the vine
pest is thing of the past. He told us
the case of gentleman who has ranch
near Santa Ana, and who was in despair
of his vines. He therefore plowed
them up and sowed the land
in barley. Notwithstanding this desecra-
ton, and though he had supposed that
there was not root left, he now sees,
to his surprise, that thrifty young
shoots. vigorous as heart Of nurseryman
could desire, are springing up on all
hands from the destroyed stripes. In
Los Angeles county the rehabilitation OF
the vineyards is something to marvel at,
and this process of rejuvenated life is re-
ported from all hands. In fact, the
vine pest has been destroyed,
and this delightful deal is uni
versal in the southern counties.
The scales, of all shades and genera,
which once afflicted our orange trees,
have taken unto themselves wings; or,
initiating the Arab, they have folded
their tents and silently stolen away.
The meaning of this whole business is
that, having endured the buffetings, we
are now about to bask in the smiles of
fortune. Just as misfortunes never
come singly, 30 do the favors of the

Gil yesterday with eleven thousand

the latter was signed by six thousand

BIG ONES GOING.

The drift of the age, perhaps the
ages would be better. Is to the reduction
of size III animal life. The monsters of
some early periods not quite defined,
that may have made life terror to
human beings, if any existed, have dis
appeared from the land, and the whale
seems to be without any special mis-
sion longer, and will die out The ele-
plants have been nearly hunted out of
Africa for their ivory, and modern de-
vices afford fair substitute for most of
its uses. The walrus is gone, the ele-
phant is going, and the seal is to go
from later reports. The buffalo has
gone; the deer, elk, and all the
large game of the old time are
coming to the inscription of Ichabod.
There will soon be only preserved
specimens OF the larger and prehistoric
animal creations. If some of the scien-
fists and philosophers are reliable OBJ
servers, the human race is growing less
in stature. In fact, computations have
been made to show that it will run into
the ground in quite comprehensive
period. Some even allege reduction
in caliber. This might find illustration

the government. A few months ago it
had dozen men who were thought
large enough to make presidential

Still there are difficulties in extending
the decimating forces among animals
into the human family. Enough for now
to note that the large animals are going.

A Valuable Commentary.

Rights, Remedies and Practice at Law. in
Equity and Under the Codes BY John d.
Lawson. Vol. VII. Bancroft-Whiiney com
pany san Francisco.
This volume completes the publca-
ton of one OF the most valuable COM
mentaries on American law that has
been published i'll late years. The
author with that rare discrimination
and solid scholarship for which he is
celebrated, has gathered together in
these seven volumes q complete refer
ence law library. 1t has been we'll said
that it is not so much to know the law
as to know where to find it. Complete
indexes now in course of preparation
will make this task an easy one. Some
idea of the scope of his work may be
gathered from the heads under which
the author has arranged his work.
Volume |. is devoted to persons and
personal relations.
Volume III. continues the subject of
personal relations
Volume Ill. takes up the personal
rights and remedies and commences
property rights aud remedies.
Volumes ". and V. and the first part
of Volume vi. are devoted to property
rights and remedies.
The last half of Volume VI. takes up
the difficult subject of remedies and pro-
VII, which latter also treats the sub
ject of public rights.
In the seventh and last volume the
same care and intelligent Judgment
are evidenced in the treatment of the
subjects of remedies and procedure
and public rights and remedies which
we have noted in the preceding vol
umes, and the ground is well and thor
oughly covered. This work is as impor-
tant an addition to the law literature of
the present lay as the commentaries of
Blackstone were to the time when they
were first published. Like the great
English writer. Mr.. Lawson has gone
through the great mass of decisions,
precedents and customs which confront
the lawyer and student of the day and
has produced a work of great value.
The lawyer who possesses these seven
volumes has library which will meet
the requirements of all ordinary prac-
tice.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The exhumed New Hampshire legisla-
ture meets tomorrow under the direc-
ton of Senator CHANDLER, to inau-
gurate his scheme to defraud the Demo-
Gratis out of the control of the legisla-
ture, and. consequently, the governor
and senator. The Democrats have Sc
cured legal opinions from the brother of
Senator HOAR, who was GRANTS attor-
ney general, and W. q. RUSSELL, two
OF the most eminent Republican attor-
neys of New England, fully sustaining
their position; and they will stand to-
gether as unit for their rights. They
will refuse to recognize the action of
this Should-be defunct legislature if
it attempts to legislate men into
the next legislature or determine
the rights of claimants to seats.
In their manifesto they say: "The
Democracy will insist upon moth
ing that is not clearly warranted by the
law and constitution. and they will sub
NIT to nothing less than that, the efforts
of CHANDLER to inaugurate his Florida
methods to the contrary notwithstand-

for individual home capital is ques-
ton. They are not on the programme,
and will not probably be allowed to reach
decisive vote. 1t is assumed that the
Republicans will be unable to hold a
quorum of their own members, and be
dependent somewhat upon Democratic
forbearance. That depends upon the
discipline they can enforce among their
party material. They enlarged their
majority at the last session to some fif-
teen or so more than quorum, and will
have two new members from Idaho and
Wyoming. If they are unable to pass
all their party measures, it will be due
more to lack of nerve than the opposi-
tion of the Democrats. Still, it is not
believed they will succeed in much of a
partisan programme. 1t is likely to be

sages that would not be quite enjoyable

A GOOD IDEA.

At the late election the voters in Mas
sachusetts adopted an amendment to
the state constitution providing that no
voter removing from one voting district
to another in the state shall lose his
right to vote for six months after his re-
mOval. He cannot exercise this right i'm
the new locality until he has been
resident the time specified in the elec-
tion laws, but he can so to the place of
his former residence and cast his vote.
The period of six months is probably
fixed with reference to the qualifications
of these laws. This relieves manifest
injustice in the common method. 1t
seems reasonable that man should be
able to vote somewhere, if he has ever
had the right. 1t is hardship to de-
prive him of his vote because he has
just before an election moved from one
part of "a ward to another. or to any new
locality in the state. The Massachu-
sets idea is good one.
