He VIII Never Believe in Protection.
A case OF tariff injustice recently took
place in New York which has never
been made public, but which deserves
to be recorded as an evidence of the
barbarous tariff laws under which We
are living in this enlightened nineteenth
century.

the recall of Baron Fava, says: If Italy
is disposed to send her ironclads to the
Mississippi the Americans have no shins
TO face the Lepanto and Duilo for fortv

war, and evidently is meant to convey to
the United States the information that
Italy is not TO be tritied with.

WASHINGTON, April l.-Postmaster-
General Wanamaker says it is not
likely that he will be able to establish the
new Pacific mail routes by the first of
July, when fund appropriated for that
purpose becomes available.
The Superintendent of Foreign Mails,
Captain Brooks, is deyoting most of his
time to this work and finds that there were
more matters to adjust and obstacles to
overcome than he had anticipated. In

lines which he thinks would be inter

he expresses himself as very much
surprised that any company should hesi-
tate to confer with the Government on
such an extensive business matter.
Pending the completion of the new ar
rangement the present system will be

to think it will be possible to establish
the new route before the first of August.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The excitement
over the recall of Baron Fava, the Italian
Minister, on account of the New Orleans
tragedy, continues unabated.
a reporter who called this afternoon on
Baron Fava, found him closeted with DIR.
r. S. Verdi, of this city, and inaccessi-
BILE.
Subsequently DIR. Verdi, who was seen,
said: 1.-THE case is remarkably plain.
Italians have been murdered, and the
italian Government asked reparation.
This Government said, we can do moth
ing-only the courts of Louisiana may
take action If this Government be
powerless in such a matter, it is a most
serious thing. Why were treaties entered
into with European powers if the United
States cannot perform that which il
promised to do? Will it satisfy Euro
pean power to say this crime was COM
mitted in the State of Louisiana and is
without the province of the general Gov
ernment ?''
Verdi declared with a good deal OF
energy that FaVa's recall was not due to
dissatisfaction with the Baron personally,
but was the action of an insulted power.
How much the late minister did to pre-
vent this clash, DR.. Verdi added, might
never have been known, but the doctor
declared it is a fact that for at least ten
days he delayed doing that which he was
compelled to do yesterday. When he
received his instructions he at once made
an endeayor to have them rescinded and
not until he was forced to do so did he
sever the diplomatic relation of the two
countries.

The Supreme Court Declines to Raise
His Salary.
SAN Francisco, April 1.-The classifi-
cation of Ventura County has been es-
tablished in the opinion of the Supreme
Court.
The court delivered a decision to-day in
the matter of the petition of j. A. Donal-
Ion, Assessor of the county, who claimed
that Ventura is in class 39I, and that his
annual salary is therefore s., 200. The
county Auditor contended that Ventura
was i'll the forty-tirst class, in which the
Assessors salary is less than S3, 200, and
when the Assessor tried to draw his sal
airy the Auditor declined to issue his war
rant for the larger amount.
The question involved in the case was
the construction of certain sections of the
County Government Act, i'll which coun-
ties are classified according to their pop
ulation in 1880. The counties of the State
We're then divided into forty eight classes.
Ventura falling under the forty-frst
class. The Act was subsequently
amended for the purpose of creating class
thirty-nine and halt, which was defined
nierms precisely similar to those defin-
ing classes forty and torty-one. neither of
which was abolished. The Assessor per-
ceIVed at once the opportunity for increas-
ing his assets, by claiming salary due as
Assessor for class thirty-nine and a half
and he set up the claim that the Legisla-
ture manifestly intended TO abolish
classes forty and forty-one
The court, however, decided that if it
had been the purpose of the Legislature
TO abolish classes forty and forty-one, it
would not have made use of the half
number. The court further held that the
Legislature had blundered in giving q
hike number of inhabitants to counties of
different classes, but ruled that Ventura
is still in the forty-first class and that the

Well Known.
SAN RAFAEL, April 1.-The report of
recent coal discoveries i'll Marin County
do not appear to create much of a furore
in this vicinity, as it has been generally
known for years back that coal veins of
some considerable size exist along the
bay shore of this county.
One of the first and largest veins dis
covered here was on portion of the Reed
ranch, now owned by Mallon IL Co., a
portion of which ranch is used as a brick
yard.
From an old-timer it is learned that
this deposit was located some twenty
years ago, but at that time the purchase of
the land could not be consummated, and,
after digging shaft to depth of sixty
feet, the projectors had to abandon their
undertakings. This first known coal
plant in the county is within 400 yards of
Alto station, on the narrow-gauge road
to San Rafael. 1t is understood that the
old shaft viii again be worked, as coal of
good quality has been obtained from it in
sufficient quantities to warrant further
operations.
