NEV INDUSTRY IN CALIFORNIA

1t was several years ago that people ceased
TO be surprised at anything which California does.
Ii has come to be accepted without question that
everything in either the animal or the vegetable
kingdoms will thrive there 1t must seem the
most natural thing in the world to get any kind
of fruit from California, even if it never before
grew outside the limits OF Far Cathay. and as
for animals California is expected In few years
to produce so many ostrich feathers that it will
not pay the African growers to set an ostrich.
Therefore the proposition of Arson Newbuary. Of
San Gabriel, Los Angeles County, awakens no
surprise.
What Mr.. Newbuary proposes TO do. as we learn
from interview in The Los Angeles Mirror, is

THE SPTTUEAD NAVAL REVTFW

The Queens presence at the Spithead naval
review was a diplomatic demonstration. She
had deferred her departure for the Highlands
in order TO welcome personally the French Ad-
miral and to render the manoeuvres of the two
fleets an event of the highest international i'm
portance. The welcome to Admiral Geryais and
his officers would have been cordial and even
ELUSIVE, if the British naval authorities alone
had witnessed the splendid spectacle of the
combined fleets. The Queens determination to
be present increased the significance of the
naval demonstration. The pains taken by her
to impart additional prestige to the exchange
of civilities between England and France i'm
piled deliberate policy on the part of the
Crown TO equalize the nations influence in Con-
tinental affairs and to emphasize the fact that
it had not sacrificed the time -honored prin-
ciple of neutrality in European alliances

A serious charge against British naval COM
mander is made by 1.-THE London Times" 1t
is asserted that President Balmaceda, after
Selling the silver bullion in the CHILEAN Treas
ury, hired the captain of British ship-of-war
to carry it to MoneyideO to be deposited there
in payment for ships and arms purchased in
Europe. This transaction is said to have been
carried ont and the bullion landed at MOntevideO
during August The Admiralty is called upon
TO investigate the charge thoroughly and prompt
". So many false rumOrs have been put in
circulation during the CHILEAN war that better
evidence than a Lisbon correspondents asser-
ion will be required before this extraordinary
accusation can be fully credited. If it be sub
stantiated the British commander ought to be
dismissed from the service

II is impossible as yet to form any correct
estimate of the number of lives that were lost
yesterday afternoon in the disastrous explosion
and fire that occurred in Park Place. The
police state that from sixty to seventy persons
persisted. But in view OF the fact that the
fierce flames which followed the explosion are
likely to have reduced TO ashes the bodies OF
many of the victims, it is probable that con-
siderable time will elapse before the exact
figures can be obtained. A moment after the
explosion the whole front of the six-story build
ing in which it occurred toppled over into the
street, and it is supposed that several of the
passers-by were crushed beneath the ruins.
All that now remains of the high six-story
buildings, which were teeming with life and
industry at the moment of the explosion, is
huge and hideous gap partly filed with the
smoking, steaming brick which conceas such

The Rev DR.. Richard Salter Storrs was seventy
wears old on Friday last. 1t is long, useful
and active life to which he can look DacK from
this summit of his years. Though now threescore

lectual powers show no slightest Sign OF
decadence. Dr. Storrs has been almost forty-hve
wears the pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims IN
Brooklyn, and the strong probabilities are thao
he will at least complete full half-century IN
that pas.orate There is no man In the Amerl-
can pulpit who can surpass him in elevated and
inspiring eloquence, matched with profound and
far-reaching thought finding expression IN words
that sing and soar But DR.. Storrs has been, and
is, more than preacher. He has ever taken
right hearty interest in public concerns, and
though politics is unknown in his pulpit, he
has not failed, when occasion called, to speak
out his frankest and bravest word on the topic
that filed mems minds. His has not been ex-
clusively the life of the study, for the community
at large has felt the inspiration of his active
sympathy and eloquent lips on occasions too
numerous TO mention. The Tribune adds its
CONGRATULATIONS to those which have already been
extended to him on reaching his SEVENTEEN birth
day. May he have many years more of useful
ness and honor!

The recent cruise of the French fleet in Russian
waters has revealed fact of which no one APP
pears 10 have been aware and which Is likely TO
prove of considerable Importance in the event OF
a European war. On attempting to steam directly
through the Sound into the Baltic Sea, the French
Admiral was disagreeably surprised 10 discover
that the depth of the water was insufficient for
any of his larger ironclads. These were obliged
TO 60 back northward to Oresund, round by the
Great Belt, and 10 enter the Baltic by the Feb
mern Belt and the Gulf of Mecklenburg This
is a route which in war time would compel the
French fleet on going TO the assistance Of the
Russian squadron, to pass through the German
feet at Kiel.

Here is an incident from the South:

just after the Grippe had visited that
country. ''I am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and

of Vicksburg. Miss. where I got welr

with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had

who has since died, and he told me
to get bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and caught that also.

Stockmen Exercised Over q Law Taxing
Cattle in the strip
WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 23-There is
widespread dismay among the stock
men of the Cherokee strip over a law
of which they have just lately become
cogn;zant, which, it is said, allows a
fine of 81 on each head of stock found
on Indian lands and gives half the
amount collected to the informer. The
publication Of the existence of such a
law has created new industry. that of
spying, and the strip is now full of men
gathering evidence, which they are
sending in to the government, and out
of which they expect to reap fortunes.
James 81. Forsythe, one of the big
cattlemen, is here after legal advice
He says in one instance a syndicate
with between 60. 900 and 20. 600 head of
cattle has been informed against, and
IL the law is valid it means $50. 600 to
the informer. In his own case he was
asked for g, 900 by q man who said he
had all the evidence necessary to con-
vict him of holding 20. 600 cattle on the
strip. The stockmen are organized to

A DISPATCH from Vandalia, Ill, says:
The wild man of Louden township Is
still at large, the searching party thus
far having been unable to sight him.
II is now believed by the people Of that
neighborhood that he Is full-blooded
Indian, aud almost cannibal from the
way he devours raw flesh. Several
farmers have lost fat shoats of late.
and it is thought they have been killed
and eaten by the wild man, as several
carcasses have been found with the
flesh stripped clean. Another search
ing party is being organized at ST.
Elmo. with a view to aiding the oshor
party in capturing him if possible.
Many people along Becl's creek are
afraid of the so-called wild man, and
vii. not venture out any distance from
their houses after dark.
