SAN FERNANDO sQUATTERs.
Their Case is Sent Back to the Supe-
rior Court

NOuIIs
Judge Ross yesterday handed down
an opinion in the case of. the Los An
geles Farming and Milling company vs..
Hof ct al, which is the case in which
plaintiff is seeking to eject number OF
squatters upon the San Fernando ranch
who claim that the land is not embraced
in the lines of the patent OF the San
Fernando ranch.
The case was removed from the supe-
rior court by counsel for the defendants
upon the ground that the suit involved
constructions of laws of the United
States respecting locations of homesteads
upon the public lands; also patent OF
the United States of the land in ques-
ton, which patent defendants claim is
fraudulent and void.
Upon filing the papers in the United
States court the plaintiff moved to re.
mand the case to the superior court
from whence it was taken on the ground
that the United States court bad no
jurisdiction. The court grants the mo-
tion and remands the case at the cost OF
the defendants.
1t says that the petition filed by the
defendants, on which the order OF re-
moyal was made, did not state single
fact upon which the United States court
could exercise its judgment and deter
mine whether the suit in question did
or did not arise under the laws OF the
United States.

The Proceedings at Yesterdays Meet
ing of the Board.
At yesterdays meeting of the super
visors, Messrs. Forester and Davis, who
were appointed committee to inyesti-
gate the reported nuisance which has
caused kick from the jurors in depart
ment three of the superior court, re-
ported to the board that the trouble was
caused by ventilators which are de-
fective and discharge a variety of odo-s
near window of the courtroom. The
committee said the matter could be
remedied by building the ventilators up
to the roof of the building, and that the
owner OF the block has agreed to make
the improvement. The report was filed.
An order was made requiring F. p.
Hardee, constable of Los Angeles town
ship, to appear before the board tomor
row and make a statement regarding
the affairs of his Office.
The bridge recently constructed over
Vejar creek by M. III. Ledbetter was
formally accepted.
The reports of county and township
officers were presented and filed, and
the auditing OF a big batch OF demands
on the treasury occupied the board for
the balance of the session.

A FIRE AT INGLEWOOD.
Detectives Endeavoring to Discover 1t:
Cause.

Cause.
On Sunday morning at O'Clock the
watchman in charge of Mr.. d. Free
mans great brick kiln at Inglewood dis
covered fire and smoke issuing from the
shed which covers the main kiln. On
going up stairs he discovered that the
floor was on fire for distance of about
sixty feet. Seeing that he could not,
unaided, quench the flames, he hurried
to Mr.. Freeman's residence and gave the
alarm. The men in charge of the stables
and grounds hastened to the kiln, and
in the course of few minutes had the
fire under control. Shortly afterwards.
the owner himself arrived with more
men, and the flames were completely
extinguished. Fortunately the kiln ward
is connected with the Inglewood water
works system. and hydrants are placed
in all the sheds and buildings, and to
this is owing the fact that the fire wa,
30 speedily put out. There is no clue to
the origin OF the fire. There was a small
pile of coal--a few hundred pounds-ly.
ing just where it started, but it is not
thought that it was large enough to gen
crate heat spontaneously. The insur-
ance companies have detectives working
on the case, who may be able to throw
some light upon the subject.

The people of Nebraska are moving in
earnest in the matter OF beet sugar man
ufacture. The latest development is a
call from the Lincoln board for beet
sugar convention in that state. In this
call the facts are pointed out that the
United States consumes each year sugar
to the value of $3.50, 100000. OF this
amount our imports reach $3.50 900, 900,
which amount, now paid to foreign man.
ufacturers, would be kept at home if we
manufactured our own sugar. Germany
and France make sugar on poor soil at q
cost of $50 per acre from IL per cent
beets. Nebraska at cost of $50 per
acre can raise l6 per cent beets. Within
a few years all the sugar America con-
sumes will be manufactured at home.
Nebraska has greater advantages than
any other state and has already two of
the six factories in the United States.
Nebraska can be made the center of the
beet sugar industry in the United States
and the world. Thus far we have copied
placidly from the Nebraska State Jour
nal. OF course it is scarcely necessary
that the HERALD should assure its read
ers that our facilities for raising the
sugar beet are much greater than those
of Nebraska, while our seasons for cul-
tivating the beet are also much longer.
That Cahuenga sugar beet factory ought
to be hurried up; while the Ceptinela
and other regions, where the establish
ment of sugar beet factories is in con-
temptation, would do well to get move
on themselves.

We HAVE received copy of the Chi
cago Times, of Sunday, November 29th
which contains portrait of Gen. Nelson
A. Miles and of the members of his staff
Our contemporary evidently thinks that
General Miles may be heard of at Min
neapolis. There are frequently strong
indications that he may figure on the
roster OF Republican aspirants TO,
the presidency. He is connected by
marriage with the Sherman and Blaine
families, and has had quite romantic
career, having made his own way from
the volunteer into the regular army by
sheer force of will and gallantry. There
would be something interesting to many
Angeleilos, amongst whom he has lived
for quite a while, if this dashing and
good looking soldier should be selected
by the Republicans as the man for the
Democrats to beat.

THERE seems to be a pretty close
Identification OF the man who threw the
bomb in Russell Sage's Office with w.
d. Southworth, who was we'll known on
this coast. He was at one time en-
gagged on the San Francisco Examiner,
when that paper was run by Clarence
Greathouse. He was known in this
city, which ne visited few years ago.

great warmth of character, tender and
considerate of all who came to him for
consolation; full Of human sympathy,
and as simple as child in matters out
side of his duties as prelate. When
his health failed he was made titular
Bishop of Joppa, and came to.reside in
Los Angeles, where his years were
doubtless extended by the mildness of
our climate. 1t may be truly said of the
old bishop who was laid away yester-
day, that he was pure, earnest and
faithful servant of the Master, whom to
know was to love.

Now that the council has made the
award for street sprinkling for the en-
suing year, it would be we'll for that
body to devise some check upon the
contractor which would satisfy the
people that the work is honestly done.
With ninety miles OF streets to sprinkle
at the start, we ought to have some re-
liable means of knowing that when we
pay for ninety miles we are getting that
much dust-laying.

The Anaheim people have progressed
very favorably in their plan to establish
a cooperative beet sugar factory in their
vicinity. The amount of land needed to
induce capitalists to advance the money
to erect sugar mill seems to have been
secured. As soon as one mill has been
successfully started on the cooperative
plan there will be others started in all
parts of this section. It is an industry
CT great promise, and will become a
leading interest OF these southern coun-
ties in few years. We have advan-
tages IN our soil and climate to make
this industry eminently successful over
all other parts of the United States.

until his health failed, the Bishop of
Grass Valley, very extensive episco-

greatly beloved by the people who were
under his episcopal ministrations. 1t

larly known as the Bishop OF Marys-

fail to give satisfaction to all Democrats

should the angel of death have been
permitted to enter within the gates
of this Paradise and visit so many of
it's native children? I lay claim to no
knowledge in this matter. can
only say that the figures are start
ling to stranger and worthy the
consideration of the Board of
Health.
What follows is worse. When the
deaths are classified according to
their causes, we are confronted with
the fact that there are more deaths
"from unknown cause" than from
any disease. I utterly fail to COM
prehend how the Board of Health
can reconcile this statement with
any idea of discharge of duty. The
unknown God" is more powerful IN
Honolulu than ever he was in
Athens. Is it possible that week by
week we have two mysterious deaths,
that out of every eight funerals one
is of a person who died-nobody
knows how? Was it murder, was
it suicide, poison, sutfocatlon,
electricity, accident or design?
Who shall say The cause
was unknown. Such report made, 1
am told, regularly every month, is a
scandal and offense. No funeral
ought to be permitted without a
clear and unequivocal statement
made by a qualified physician con-
corning the cause of death. Com
mon decency requires this-indl-
vidual safety demands it.
1t is no excuse to say that there
are difficulties in the way they
should be surmounted. If neces-
ssry, q post-mortem should be held,
and possibly the native repugnance
to medical aid would be, in great
measure, overcome if it was dis
tinctly understood that in all cases
the cause of death would be investl-
gated even, if need be, by post mor-
tenn examination.

matter is so we'll understood in San
Francisco that, recently, the authori-
ties have refused to accept failure

ton to authorize burial. 1t Is to be

MANY GUNBOATS THERE.
Foreign Powers Demand $22,-
600, 900 of China.

600, 900 of China.
Charles CALI, for ten years an ex-
tensive silk merchant of Yokohama,
is at the California. He says the
total amount of indemnity claimed
by the French Jesuits, Americans
and English of the Chinese govern
ment for loss of life and property on
the Yang-tse river is $22,OO0,OO0.
The riots have occurred princi-
pally at Wuhu, Kinkiang, Tehang,
Chunching and Woosich.
'"The reason there has been so
much trouble on the Yang-tse," said
Mr.. CALI, sis because it was not pro-
tected by Chinese men-of war. In
Shanghai there are always ten or
twelve of China's best gunboats. We
had no trouble there, of course. We
did not expect it, but up the Yang
tse everybody who is not yet out is
on the watch.
However, the Chinese do not care
much about the missionaries, one
way or the other. They neither like
nor especially dislike them. Their
attack on them is a mere pretext.
They hate the mandarins, and are
willing to do most anything to stir
up strife.
"There are now thirty-two foreign
men-of-war in Chinese waters be-
tween Shanghai and Hongkong. /
do not know whether there will be
q naval demonstration or not. but II
think there is no question that
China will have to pay the indem-
nifty. It cannot avoid it. However,
the Chinese are fine diplomats and
they may stave it off for time. Of
the foreign men-of-war alluded to
between Shanghai and Hongkong
the English have at least ten, the
Americans five, Germany four, Japan
four, Italy one, Portugal one and
France seven gunboats of various
kinds"
Mr.. CALI was at Yokohama on his
way here when the Japan earth
quakes occurred. They began Oct. rs,
and that day and the following were
not very heavy there F.; but on the
28th the earthquake was very violent.
He was in the Grand Hotel, and, as
he expressed it, his coffee "ran
away" and, looking out of the win
dow, he saw the great chimney of
the Electric Company fall and the
earth undulating and shaking like
