NO MONEY FOR IRRIGATION.

NO MONEY FOR IRRIGATION.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The irriga-
ton clause was struck out of the agri-
cultural bill in the house this afternoon.
Congressman Cannon led the fight
against it and Congressman Picker
championed it. 1t may yet be carried
through when it goes back to the confer
ence committee.
THE PRICE OF A LIFE.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The widow
and son-in-law of the late General Bar
rundia have filed with the secretary of
state a claim against the United States
for $1,000,0OO for having surrendered
General Barrundia to Guatemalan
authorities, at whose hands he lost his
life. The claim. the petitioners say, is
based on the explicit and precise declara-
tions of the president of the United
States in his last annual message to con-
gress that Minister Miner, in issuing an
order for the surrender of Barrundia, ex-
ceeded the bounds of his authority and
acted in violation of precedents estab.
lished in similar cases, for which reason
the United States government disavowed
his act and recalled him from his post.
REGARDING AN EXTRA SESSION.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-An evening
paper has this: The president said to
a caller yesterday that the report that
he intended to send in a special message
urging the passage of the federal elections
bill was not true. It would be, he said,
both superhuous and useless, it being too
late to accomplish anything in that
direction. The president said to the
same gentleman that he had no idea
that an extra session of congress
would be rendered necessary.
Al to the talked of
special session of the senate, the presi-
dent said he had no intention of calling
one. There was, he said, nothing Ill the
outlook of public business which would
require it. OF course, he added, some
thing of sufficient Importance to neces-
state one might unexpectedly come up,
but, so far as he could see, there would
be no special session of the senate. The
president then told his caller he was
going on a shooting trip about a week
after the adjournment of congress-, to be
gone a few days.

THERE is great deal of curiosity in
certain quarters as to what became of
the money which was collected to run
the late city campaign. There are
number of creditors who would like to
know, you know, as to what direction
was taken by the assessments and other
unconsidered tri1es. AS general thing,
man feels best pleased when he gets
the money that is justly due him. The
city committee has shown remarkable
knack in failing to pay bills whose
validity there is no attempt to dispute.
We understand that tonight there is to
be an investigation OF what became of
the $1,000 which was raised from can
didates and others. Such entries as
$3.50 for beer for coons," which, we are
informed, figure in the account render
of the committee, will scarcely be satis-
factory to those whose bills have not
been paid. There has been an unpar-
donable delay in satisfying the claims of
legitimate creditors. If sufficient money
was raised to defray the expenses Of the
canvass, and it has been applied to pur-
poses other than those for which it was
designed, Democrats have the right to
know the bottom facts.

Mr.. BLAINE's pet idea as to reciprocity
is to 90 into effect with Brazil April 1st.
1t does not augur well for it, or rather for
us in California, that with this announce
ment comes another to the purport
that in five years Brazil will send us all
the sugar this country will. need. That
sounds like a genuine April fool busi-
ness for this state, which has been
fondly dreaming that under the benef-
cient effects of Republican protective
policies we were to supply the country
with beet-root sugar. OF course, at
Washington, under Little Benny poll
tics, not craftsmanship, is the keynote
to the tune we all must dance to. Now
California is known to be SO welded
to the Republican idols that she will en-
dure anything at the hands of that
party, and yet remain true to it. The
state took Harrison in spite of his Chi
neee record. 1t sticks to him in spite of
his hostility to silver, and it will prob

THERE has been q great parade .about
the prodigious efficiency of Chief Glnsa,s
administration OF the police department.
and that official has received vote Of
thanks from the board for his able and!
conscientious record. There are some
drawbacks to this unmeasured spirit OF
commendation, which are set forth in
an article by HERALD reporter, pub
lished in our local columns, and founded
on personal observation. One Of the
great scandals OF the city is the open
and shameless way in which lewd wom-
en- are permitted to carry on their un-
lawful and demoralizing business on
Alameda and adjoining streets and al
leys, and, to a certain extent, on Los
Angeles street. Every train that enters
or leaves Los Angeles to or from the
north or east passes these cribs, and the
public scandal is something to be highly
deprecated. Innocence is endangered
and virtne shocked by these displays.
When that tall and good-looking son Of
Anak, Chief Glass, was member of
Chief Buriis force, he was instrumental
in closing these places up. They re-
manned closed, as we are informed and
have reason to believe. Under our
present model chief, however, they
faunt their law-defying depravity in the
face OF everyone. 1t is question as to-
whether, when Mayor Hazard proposed
his vote Of thanks to Chief Glass, he was
aware of this state of things.

A SUBSCRIPTION list has been started
amongst the farmers and landowners in
the Anaheim region and thence to the
ocean, to induce the California Southern
railroad company to build branch road
through Brea cafion which will tap the
rich district northeast of Anaheim and
reaching tidewater at or near Los Ala
mitos. The company, it is understood,
is desirous to avail itself OF the facilities
of landing where it can discharge coal
ships, and has in view either the estuary
of Los Alamitos or the old Anaheim
landing, at which the coast steamers
formerly discharged cargo destined for
the southern part of Los Angeles county.
The owners of the land that will be ben
Gifted by this new road are asked to con-
tribute 100000, and the proposition is
being entertained by them. A branch
read through the section named would
open up rich country that is now but
sparsely settled, but which would fur
nish considerable traffic to the company.

THERE should be some means of break
ing up the nefarious business that -four
ishes periodically in this city, of send
ing people seeking employment to
places at distance on a wild goose
chase, These fakera take the few dol
lars their victims have and send them
into the country to false addresses or to
persons who have no work to give and
who have not authorized the bogus en-
ployment agents to hire anybody. A
very cruel instance of this kind of ras-
cality is detailed elsewhere, in which it
appears that two deaf-mutes paid man
named Miller four dollars and he sent
them to Riverside on a FOOLS errand.
The poor fellows returned, but could not
find Miller. The authorities ought to
make strong effort to bring this fellow
to justice. No punishment could be too
severe to inlet upon scaundrels who
would deliberately rob and mislead poor
people who are in search Of work.

DEssAUD's WILL.
An Estate Which Appears to be Badly
Mixed.


An Estate Which Appears to be Badly
Mixed.
County Clerk Ward received through
the French consul at San Francisco a
holographic will purporting to be that of
Pierre Dessaud, an old-time resident of
this city, who died on January Goth last,
at the ripe age OFF,. Dessaud's marital
relations were somewhat strained during
the last earspf his life, but as he left
some $4,000, more or less. on deposit in
one OF the local banks, and no will was
forthcoming, it was supposed that he
had concluded to overlook his conjugal
troubles and leave his wife, Marie Mes-
ced Dessaud, amply provided for. Now,
however, comes will in French, by
which he leaves to his son, Juan G.
Dessaud, the sum Of frs. 10000, to his
niece frs. 1900, and to two
other nieces the sum of frs.
10000, and to friend frs. 1000, his
wife being totally ignored. It is said
that Dessaud, during his lifetime, de-
stroyed another will made here, on the
ground that it was o forged one. As the
old man owned considerable property in
France, the will received here yesterday
is believed to refer only to that portion
OF his estate, and will be sent to Europe,
and his widow in the meantime will file
an application for letters of administra-
ton to his estate here.

THE number and appalling magnitude
of the casualties reported from coal
mines in Pennsylvania Of late is calcu-
lated to attract attention, and to call for
sharp remedial legislation. That null
titudes of people, who work for mere
pittance, should be sent to the other
world without warning, surely augurs
gross negligence somewhere. These
disasters are undoubtedly referable to
the unprincipled eagerness of the mine
owners to acquire wealth speedily and
at all hazards. A reasonable return on
investments seems to satisfy no class of
Americans, and all precautions which
would protect human life, if they in
yolve the expenditure of money, are
disregarded. Such remissness is a
crime, and it ought to be punished in
an exemplary manner.
