THE RIVER AND THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.

Governor Markham, in his welcoming
address to President Harrison in this
city, drew attention to the great impor-
tance of the Sacramento River and the
duty Of the Federal Government to treat
it with view to the restoration and pres
ervation of its navigability in as nearly
its original fullness as can be done. It
was said well and gracefully, and with
out concealment of the desire to invoke
the assistance of the President in secur-
ing such action by the General Govern
ment as the needs of the river demand.
1t is well known that important steps
in the direction of action have already
been taken. Congress has gone so far in
acknowledgement of the obligation upon
it concerning the river, that a Federal
Commission has been appointed to ex-
anime the stream and report upon the
condition of the banks and channels.
The report of the commission has been
made, with recommendations for pre-
iminary treatment, that, if adopted, will
inaugurate greatly needed work.
What the duty of California is, cannot
now be mistaken. We must not let the
subject drop out of sight in the next
Congress, nor be so delayed that the bills
to carry out the engineers plans will be
showed under mass Of other legislation.
The organization effected by the River
Convention of ISS9-90 is still in existence,
and will probably be found actively at
work when Congress assemblies in De-
cember. The people generally should
contribute by all proper means to the
support of the appeal that will be made at
that time, for speedy action and the most
liberal appropriation.
1t will be necessary, probably, to show
| to Congress very clearly that in this
matter there is no contention in Califor-
mia. The treatment of this navigable
streams of which the Federal Govern
ment is guardian, is not antagonized by
mining interests; nor is it urged by valley
interests for any merely selfish reasons,
but upon broad and just grounds. The
river is the great drainway of the largest
valley of the Pacific Coast; it is naviga-
bic stream that has not had any treat
ment such as is necessary where the
conditions of civilization modify natural
ones. This great, free highway is the her.
itage of all the people of the entire land,
and it is not, therefore, merely local con-
Germ that should be manifest to secure
its proper alignment, and prevent it from
declining from the condition of naviga-
bility.
! So far as California is concerned the
same reasons apply for the treatment of
the Sacramento River, as apply in the
case of the States lying along the
Mississippi and justifying Federal con-
Germ for that great river. There is scarcely
any likelihood that the new agitation of

THE CASE OF THE TTATA.

The Secretary of the Navy has issued
orders to Rear Admiral Brown, of the
Pacific squadron, to pursue and seize the
Chilean insurgent privateer wherever
she may be found. That, Of course,
means upon the high seas or to await her
coming out of any foreign port or shelter
where she may take temporary refuge.
| If the pursuit should extend to Chilean
waters, then, as the complaint against the
Itata is lodged by the Chilean Govern
ment, the craft would be seized within
those waters. It may turn out that the
Itata will meet her fate before any of our
cruisers can overhaul her. It appears to
! be pretty well established that a swift
Chilean man-of-war, the Imperial--the
was lying outside San Diego when the
Itata ran away, and that the chase began
then and there. If SO, there is every rea-
son for believing that the privateer will
be taken by the Government cruiser,
which is very swift boat and is finely
armed. But if, as some hold, the cruiser
was the Esmeralda, waiting to escort the
Itata, the capture Of the latter will be
difficult.
So far as the right Of the United States
to seize the vessel is concerned, there is
no room for doubt. She was in the
possession Of United States Marshal
and her Captain was under arrest. She
put TO sea under protest made by the
Marshal, and he was forcibly elected
from the ship. This was done by an
armed force not yet recognized as bellig-
erents. and in consequence the offense
comes under the provisions of the piracy
| laws.

A Couple of Neighborhood QuarreIs
Dragged Into Court.
Judge Cravens' time was consumed
yesterday in hearing the details of q
couple of family rows, and the Police
Court was pretty well crowded with
fathers, mothers and children, who were
witnesses to the neighborhood disturb
ances.
The court listened attentively to the
testimony in the cases of Martin Pennish
and Joseph Herman, who were charged
with disturbing the peace, and then dis
charged both defendants, remarking that
II all such cases were brought to the
notice of the police, the city would have
to establish a dozen Police Courts
Next came the case of John Meyers,
charged with disturbing the peace Of little
Charlie Ray. Mrs. Mary Singer, the
mother of the boy, and two of her
daughters told their side of the story, and
Meyers and his wife testified for the de-
Tense.
The testimony showed that Meyers
drew pistol in the excitement, and
Judge Cravens found him guilty. He
will be sentenced Monday.

A small army of boys tlocked into the

see what was to become the fate of
Wesley Keeling, a lad whom officer
Shellars had arrested on charge of
stealing a watch and chain from
companion. Keeling was locked up,
and tomorrow viii have hearing before
Judge Cravens.
The complaining witness in the case is
a boy named Manuel Silva, employed at
the American Laundry. Silva says that
Keeling slept with him on Friday night,
and on Saturday morning got up very
early, ransacked the pockets of his
lSilva'sl clothes, and left, taking with
him a silver watch and chain, valued at
about $50.
Last evening the Silva boy met Keeling
at Fourth and K streets and caused his
arrest.
