SENATORIAL CONTESTS.
Republicans Talk of Stealing the Seats
of Hill. Brice and White.

RepuDlIcahs Aalk OF SueallnR Une seats
of Hill, Brice and White.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Published
statements that the Republics senators
had virtually decided to contest the
seats of Senators Hill, Brice and White
attracted some attention among the sem
ators today. Careful inquiry fails to
disclose anything like an organized
movement in that direction, and in fact
it appears that the Republican senators
have as yet given the subject little
thought.
4 Republican senator today said the
contention in Gov. Hills case would be
substantially as follows: That his con-
tinuing to hold the office of governor
after the 4th OF March, 1891, (when he
was elected senator) an Office incom-
patible with the senatorship, operated as
a remuneration of the latter; and that if
that has not already barred him from
the senate, the important question is
presented as to how long person thus
situated could hold the goverporship
and keep the senatorship position va
cant.
The story as to Brice is that all that
will be done will be confined to the few
remarks made by Senator Sherman,
when his credentials were presented.
As to Senator White, it cannot be
learned that there is any intention on
the part of the Republicans to make
contest.

THE COURT HOUSE CLOCKS.
They Have Go-as-You-P Con-
test


After an impromptu rest OF six weeks,
an attempt was made yesterday at noon
to run the electric clocks in the court
house, but with only partial success.
The clocks, while perfectly harmonious
in their non-working during the eventful
six weeks, refused to keep together when
started. Some went too fast, some too
slow, others for short time, and the
rest not at all. The only Office on the
ground floor afflicted with one of those
inventions is that of the sheriff, and his
clock solemnly pointed to the hour of
II with unvarying precision.
All the clocks on the second floor
were going famously with the excep-
ton of the two in the tax collectors
office; they mutely registered II
O'Clock, as they did six weeks ago. On
the third floor in the courts, excepting
department five, all is we'll, only every
minute must unearthly thud of the
dull, sickening order is heard and the
minute hands jump back one place and
then go forward two.
The electrician will say nothing about
when they will be running in shape, but
hopes to have everything going by
Christmas.

NURSERY MEN IN TROUBLE.
Stocks of Infected Trees on Their Hands
That They Dare Not Sell.

MARYsvnLE, CAL, Dec. 1.-THE Yuba
county horticultural commissioners
having issued very positive orders
concerning the receiving and selling OF
nursery stock from eastern states where
the tree diseases are prevalent, several
nurserymen who, it is said, have lately
received stock and assert their intention
OF selling it, are now in a peck of
trouble. George W. Harney, president
of the local board, says that he will
cause their arrest and criminal prosecu-
tion if they persist. He has also ordered
several pest-infected stocks burned, and
will insist upon having this order
obeyed. AS the result of the work of
this commission, the orange trees in
this vicinity are in more healthy con-
dition then ever known before.

Officers of a Ship Roughly Handled b,
RebelliOus Sailors.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 17.-Six more
deep water vessels came in last night,
making fifteen for the day. Among
them was the British ship City OF Be-
mares, from Antwerp. She put into the
Falkland islands, September 10th, on
account Of mutiny by her crew. The
men were caught broaching the cargo,
and when accused by the captain broke
out in open mutiny. An effort was
made to place part of the crew in irons,
but the men resisted, and the officers
were rather roughly used On reaching
Port Stanley, seven OF the mutineers
were taken ashore, tried and sentenced
to six months at hard labor.

THE Gladstonian party in England
are laying plans for the future on the
assumption that they will carry the
election when parliament is dissolved.
Their is no certainty of their beng
able to do this and were there it may
be eighteen months before an election
is held, though it is generally ex-
pected that an election will be or
dered next year. The legal term of
the present parliament does not ex-
pire until April, 1898, and it is not
improbable that Lord Salisbury will
defer dissolution until the last mo-
ment in order 10 carry through his
Irish land bills. The Conservatives
have been stealing good deal of the
Liberals thunder of late and should
they pass satisfactory land law for
Ireland it is by no means certain that
they will not be returned to power.
In the mean time the Gladstonian
party act as though they had sure
cinch on the coming election.

DIR. WILLIAM 3. COLLIE, one of the
most eminent physicians in England ,
has been removed from the charge OF
Eastern Hospital, London, on ac-
count of gross neglect of his duties.
Complaint was made and investiga-
ton showed that much of the food of
the patients was unfit for con sump-
ton; that children had access to the
poisons and that two had died from
drinking carbolic wash; that enter.
tainments and dancing had taken
place in a ward in which there were
twenty-three fever patients; that the
nurges were careless and neglected.,
and that men were employed in the
laundry to wash the clothes of the fe-
male inmates. The Eastern hospital
is the largest of the kind in Great
Britain, and these developments have
created profound sensation. Such
sins of omission are to the full as
as heinous as sins of commission,
and should be punished more severely
than by mere dismissal.
