vestigate the state fish hatchery was adopted
A bill introduced by Senator Stevens pro-
yides that beginning with the general mu-
nicipal election Of 1892 the corporation at
torney of st. Paul shall be elected by the
people, the same as other city officers, and
shall hold office for two years.

reimburse the city Of St. Paul is for the pur-

brief but intellectual petition by the chap
lain, several protests from various railroad
employees brotherhoods and clubs were re-
ceived and fled
Mr.. Ringwald asked that Mr.. Bearings
bills be placed in general orders and strick-
en- from the calendar, but his request was
refused by vote Of 3 to II. The failure OF
this move on Mr.. Rngwald's part demon
strated that the house was inclined to favor
Mr.. Bearings bills, and such being the case
all opposition to the bills in the house
ceased, and if they are to be fought over it
will be in the senate.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Barrett is to
authorize the railroad and warehouse COM
missioners to appoint an expert to test and
examine and adjust all scales, weights and
measures used in grain elevators, mills and
other places where grain is weighed in this
state. 1t provides that any person chang
ing the adjustment made by the expert or
refusing him tree access shall be liable to a
fine of $500 tor each offense. The salary OF
the expert is to be fixed by the railroad
commissioners and paid out of the grain
inspection fund

the fact that copies of the journal were not

vealed the fact that there were sixty mem

to suspend the rules the motion was lost,
but the house by unanimous consent de-
cided to proceed with business, and the jour

continued this morning at 10 o'clock, when

"a TRUE" Parrot Yarn.

a Well-known New Yorker, whose
pen and pencil have alike brought
him money and reputation, has had
an adventure which discounts by
about ten thousand nine hundred
and ninety-nine the average conven-
tional parrot story. He was fond Of
knocking about in out-ofthe-way
quarters of the world, and left ship
on the Central American coast with a
party of comrades to explore the
wilderness. During a cruise of sever
al mGnths the entire ships company
had devoted their odd hours to sing
ing to parrot. The sailors also
had lostno opportunities, and taught
the bird all the sea-faring lingo, and
a few more or less elegant explosives
besides. When the artist and his e1-
ploring comrades had hidden the
bird and the sailors goodbye they
plunged into the heart OF the tropical
forest. After twenty-eight miles of
mortal effort they reached their camp
ing-place for the night just as the
sun was going down they were
startled to hear, in the primeval 81
lence, a familiar voice calling down
form the top OF tall palm:
s'Avast there, 20, heave, ho!''
1t was the ships parrot. But be-
fore they could recover their startled
senses the faithful bird, having flown
ahead to prepare this unexpected
treat for it's chums of the voyage,
futtered down to the top of dead
stump near by, and, with a shrill call,
summoned thousands of the little
green parroquets of the country. 1t
is said II, 900 Of them were counted
as they circled around the great gray
African oracle on the stump, and
finally took their places on the
ground in rank upon rank and row
after row. The explorers looked on
in dumb amazement. When the
feathered assembly became quiet the
ships parrot burst into the familiar
words of ''Nancy Lee,'' and to the
inextinguishable laughter ofthe tray
elers the CONSERVATION of the tropi-
cal world and the delight ofthe festive
precentor, the whole of the 11,OOO
parroquets, with one mighty burst of
song, broke into "Nancy Lee"

YUMA WASHED AWAY.
A Committee to Solicit Help from
Citizens.

Citizens.
AT meeting of the members OF the
Los Angeles board OF trade and chamber
of commerce, held yesterday, called by
reason Of the receipt OF a telegram from
the Yuma board of trade, stating that
Yuma had sustained heavy loss of prop
erty. by reason of being flooded, and
that large number of families were en-
tirely destitute, and asking that i'm
mediate relief be given, a joint commit
tee from the two organizations was ap-
pointed as follows: From the board OF
trade, Messrs. G. Seligman and Jos.
Schoder; from the chamber of COM
merce, Messrs. G. F. A. Last and Jacob
Baruch. This committee will wait upon
the citizens of Los Angeles, and solicit
subscriptions for the relief of the suffer
ers by the flood at Yuma. The citizens
are requested to respond to the utmost
of their ability.
At the meeting, it was decided to call
upon the public to also donate supplies
of food and clothing. These may be
left at the Office Of the board of trade,
307 West First street. A. large number
of Indians are entirely destitute, as also
are the poor people, and therefore sup
plies will be both necessary and accept
able.
AS will be seen from the article else
where on the railroads, and by the tele-
graphic columns, Yuma was further
devastated yesterday morning. The
need of aid is imperative.

COURT EPISODES.
PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY IN THE
VARIOUS TRIBUNALS.
Gustav de Laveaux Withdraws His APP
peal-A Blunder of the Supervisors
vitiates Suit-Other Matters.

When the appeal case OF Gustav de
Laveaux, the surveyor who was fined
500 by Justice p. T.. King, sitting for
Justice Lockwood, in September last,
for battering Deputy Constable G. W..
Anderson on Spring street, came up for
trial in department one yesterday, the
defendant withdrew his plea OF not
guilty and substituted therefor his plea
of guilty as charged. This being prac-
tically withdrawal of his appeal,
Judge Smith discharged the jury sum-
moned to try the case, and confirmed
the judgment of the lower court, which
sentenced the defendant to pay fine in
the sum of 500, with the alternative of
twenty days imprisonment in the county
Jail.
By agreement OF counsel, the order
formerely made setting the case against
ex-Justice of the Peace w. G. Lock-
wood, charged with harboring fugitive
from justice, for trial on March 4th, was
vacated and set aside yesterday by Judge
Smith, and the cause was reset for Sat-
urday, April 11th, the defendant waiv-
ing his statutory rights to more speedy
trial.
Ralph Murphy and John Wilson, the
two men charged with having burglar
lied Southern Pacific freight car at
Tropico recently, appeared before Judge
Smith Tor arraignment yesterday; but
on motion of their counsel, their cases
were continued until Monday at 10
O'Clock a. m.
On motion OF the district attorney, the
cause Of Los Angeles County vs.. Chas.
Yeager, suit to condemn a private
road in the Cahuenga road district,
leading from public highway to lands
of Cruz and Coronel, was yesterday dis
missed by Judge Clark in department
.twv, mucfi to otho-s~~r~iecS or the Jurors,
who had just been sworn to try the
case. The reason for this action on the
part of the district attorney, was that
on examination Of the minutes of the
meeting of the board of supervisors Of
October 10th last, he found that the
order directing the district attorney to
commence condemnation proceedings in
the case was defective, owing to an
error on the part Of the clerk of the
board at that time.
In department three, yesterday, the
cause of FL. A. Pierce vs.. r. Dunnigan
came up Tor hearing before Judge Wade,
who ordered judgment for plaintiff, for
$4S.50, due on mechanics lien, for
painting house in East Los Angeles.
In the absence of Judge Mckinley,
Judge Shaw occupied the bench of de-
partment five, yesterday, and heard the
cause of the Los Angeles Cemetery asso-
citation VS.. the city of Los Angeles, a
suit to quiet the title to that part of East
First street adjoining the Evergreen
cemetery. The city claimed title to the
land in question, by deed from A. H..
Judson, president Of the Cemetery asso-
citation, and others, while the associa-
tion claims that Judson was not author
lied to sign any such document, and
that therefore it was invalid. The case
was argued, submitted and taken under
advisement.

Proportions.
The citrus fair is giving evidence OF its
immense future proportions at the pavil-
ion, where force OF over hundred men
are at work at the present time. The
Pasadena people brought in their huge

feet in height, surmOunted with crown.
Immediately in front of it the Duarte

Immediately back of this is the pyramid
and Cleopatra's needle of Azusa, Glen
dora and vicinity. Nearer the stage is
Rivera with handsome design, includ-

The Santa Monica design will be one of
the most attractive in the fair, and it is
ready for the ladies of that city to dec
crate. Boyle Heights will make char
acteristic design, and will get to work at
it today. Redlands will be at work as
soon as the railroads will permit them
to come to the city. San Diego will be
here in full force next Monday, and
Santa Barbara will commence work on
Wednesday.
Every locality that intends to exhibit
should be at work as soon as possible,
for there is great deal to be done that
takes large amount of time.

building would purchase it after the fair
is over.
