PARTISAN SIMPLICITy.-The beau.
tiful harmony and unanimity with
which the Republican press of the
State are working for reform" and
to con6ne the approaching campaign
to "local issues" 10 simply touching
and delightful. They want local mat
ters divorced from National politics
altogether. They do not want such a
condition in States where they have
the majority, because they think any
man fool who wants it and any Re-
publican an idiot or traitor who ad-
vocates it under such circumstances.
But where their party is in hopeless
minority and cannot expect to be
trusted by the people under its own
name and colors, il then becomes the
ally of virtue and focks with the dis
contented and restless and ravsnssfnl
under the plausible plea that there 10
no national significance or interest in
volvsd in this particular campaign.
So now in this State every local in.
terest and issue is being seized upon
to give a false and fictitious import
ance to the impending canvass. We
are blandly told not to trouble our.
selves about the United States Sena-
torships-they are all right anyhow.
just ignore them and concentrate all
our attention upon selecting a Gene
raj Assembly irrespective Of party aud
then the millennium will be at hand"
So it will-the party idea of mil.
lennium when the Democratic lamb
will lie down with the ReE ublicsn
lion at Annapolis-the lamb inside
the lion. Does any one suppose that
the Republican instigators Of this trick
are in earnest ? Does any one be.
lieve if the next Legislature is chosen
without regard to party next fall, az
is proposed, that Mr.. German will be
returned to the Senate? Does any
man honestly believe that if Reform
Independent or Republican or mixed
nominees are chosen to the Gener al
Assembly, such body will re-elect
Senator German? Of course not.
And is thsrs any voter so simple as
to believe for a moment that such a
result, if it were achieved, would not
be heralded az q Democratic defeat
and a Republican victory from one
end Of the country to tho other; as a
defeat to the great leader who defeat

Just before time was called, Mcmillan
managed to give Ryan small dab just
under the heart.
Second round-Opened with lead,
cross-lead and clinch. Ryan received
hard whack in the chest, and planted a
solid blow squarely on McMullan's nose,
causing it to bleed freely. Another
blow cut Nc cNullan's cheek near the
right eye. MCMILLAN landed severely
on Ryan's neck and the latter fell
heavily backward. Had MCMILLAN pos
sessed more strength the fight would
have been finished then, but he stood
apparently bewildered by his good for
tune, and was caught off his guard by
Ryan, who, rapidly recovering from the
effect of the blow, forced the fighting,
twice dropping his opponent to the
floor.
Third round-Ryan landed right and
left whenever he pleased; finally a
vicious blow in the neck sent his oppo-
nent to the ground. MCMILLAN slowly
struggled to his feet, but was rapidly
sent to the ground again, completely
knocked out.
Ryan shows not scratch, while Nc
Mullan mas several cuts and bruises.
The fight was for $75 and twenty
per cent. of the gate money, Queens
berry rules, with two-ounce gloves.
Malachi Hogan was referee. The fight
was witnessed by about $50 sports,
mostly from Chicago.

YUMA, Arlz., August 9.-Reports con-
tinue to come in from the earthquake
region at the head of the Gulf of Cali
fornia. Two Cocopah Indians, OF tribe
who live near there, arrived here yester-
day. They tell thrilling story. Early
Thursday morning hundreds of mud
volcanoes, some thirty miles away, burst
into violent eruption. Instead of mud,
however, lava and flames were projected
into the air. The Indians covered
praying on the bank of the river.
The air grew denser and many
infants were suffocated. At last a vio-
lent thunder storm cleared the air, only
to show tidal wave approaching with
frightful rapidity. The water rose, swal-
lowing cattle, horses, graintelds and
driving the inhabitants for their lives to
the top of the mesa, hundred feet
higher than the river. Earthquake
shocks then began. The fourth threw
everyone down, seriously injuring many.
Dust darkened the air. The rumble of
the earthquake, the sharp explosions OF
the distant volcanoes and the believing
of the crazed cattle made an unbearable
uproar, and the frightened Indians
broke and fled wildly up the river. Two
only succeeded in reaching here to tell
the story; the others dropped exhausted
along the route.
Jose Perez, cattleman from Leredo,
and five other men witnessed the scene
from the top of a hill, to which they had
escaped. They report tidal wave fully
one hundred feet high, and also river
of blush purple fire, which was flowing
down into the Colorado river near the
gulf. This is undoubtedly from the sui
phur mountain, which was set on fire
by the volume OF burning material
thrown out by the volcanoes.
The existence of an immense crevasse
in the bottom OF the Colorado river is
confirmed, but although the river flows
into it, considerable water escapes on
each side and flows on to the gulf.
Much property was destroyed. The
residence and all the valuable buildings
on the ranch of Charles Townsend, a
breeder of fine cattle, were levelled by
the earthquake. Three men, who left
on a trip to the gulf week ago, have
not been heard from and it is feared
they have perished.
SAN Francisco, August 9.-The Chron-
icle's Yuma special says: Peter Burke
and two companions arrived late last
night from the mouth of the Colorado.
Their boat was struck by tidal
wave and broken into three pieces.
They managed to swim ashore and Sc
cure the pieces of the boat, which they
repaired and came on to this place.
The wave came seventy miles up the
river. Three men who lived near Le-
redo, Mexico, have not been heard from,
and are given up as lost.
The river at Yuma is falling slowly.
Salton lake is still rising, however
Three-fourths of the river is still flowing
into the desert.

A Big Brush Fire.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, August 9.-This
morning brush fire started near the
residence of Mrs. Lamoureaux, on the
property of the Nevada bank, formerly
the Coleman ranch. The flames spread
rapidly, crossing over Wagner ridge to
the McAllister and Stetson ranches,
where they took an easterly turn back
to the Coleman ronch, and are now ad-
vancing toward the property of William
Litchenberg, and following the ridge
toward Point San Pedro. All the men
that can be obtained are at the scene.
There are now seventy-ive at work. AS
the wind is blowing rather hard, it is
duobtful if the men can get the fire
under control,

To the Sporting Editor of the HERALD:
DEAR SIR-I will accept Billy Man
ning's offer to stop or best me in ten
rounds, if Mr.. Benjamin will select the
referee twenty-four hours before the
contest. 1 don't want any wrangle
about referee ON the night of the con-

ing this will meet with the approval OF
the public. l am yours respectfully,

Mr.. Goldie need have no uneasiness
in regard to the referee part. The sport
ing editor will select competent man.
According to the challenge there can be
no appeal on this point, and if Manning
objects, which is very doubtful, as he
suggested the arrangement, why the $25
forfeit will be turned over to Goldie.
Both men apparently mean business,

tratfOn's Scapegoat.
PHILADELPHIA, August 9.-Ex-Bank
Examiner Drew tonight forwarded to
Secretary of the Treasury Foster a de-
tailed statement of his work in connec-
tion with the Keystone National bank.
The statement is in vindication of him
self. and deals with the action of Comp
troller OF the Currency Lacey in asking
for his resignation, owing to his omis-
sion in his January report OF the condi-
tion of the keystone bank OF the clear
ing house loan. In relation to this
omission Drew in his statement says it
was purely an oversight in transcribing,
and calculated of itself greatly to mis-
lead. He was not aware of the omis-
sion until June 23d, when he received
the papers in the case, but the clearing
house loan certificates were liabilities OF
an extraordinary nature, and known to
the comptroller's Office to have been
Issued to the keystone National bank in
November, 1890, and to have been great
ly increased in amount in December fol-
lowing, by reason OF the run on the
bank.
His January report, Drew says, was
marked preliminary" intimating that
a fuller and more trustworthy report was
to follow, and which did follow, with the
omitted item in full. 1t would have
been fair, the statement says, to the
examiner that the consecutive reports,
whether preliminary or not, particularly
concerning bank known to the comp
troller to be in an unsatisfactory, not to
say perilous, condition, should be
promptly collated in the comptroller's
Office, and all the important discrepan-
cies clearly pointed out at once.
The statement further comments upon
the fact that the omission was not dis
covered until five months had passed,
and that the unsatisfactory condition Of

Yesterday, however, George Fuller, at

that the court had simply granted the
