How Spies Are treated I'm Fr.nce.

LONDON, April 21.-An Englishman
named Delmard was arrested in Paris, and
notwithstanding his request for reason
for the arrest, he was locked up in
wretched cell until morning and then
taken to his lodging. Ise. was ordered to
move. but refused to do So He was
struck in the face and knocked down and
taken again to the prefecture and placed
in cell filled with vermin. The follow.
ing day, after an examination by the
judge he was taken to Mazas prison and
stripped, being kept naked for an hour
and half, then put in cell measuring
six feet by six feet two inches
with Anastuy, who was executed few
days ago for the brutal murder of Baron
ess Dellard. At night he slept with Anas-
tuy on one side and Ravachol, the anar-
chist, on the other. Delmard was again
taken before a judge, but sent back to
prison on a charge of being a spy. On
April Ia he was liberated, the Judge apollo
giving for his incarceration and blaming
the police. The matter has been laid be-
fore the foreign Office, and Delmard de-
mands heavy compensation for the out
rageous treatment. This being the second
instance of unwarranted arrest of English
men, it is believed England will take such
steps in the matter as will leave no doubt
as to her intentions.

FRESNO, April 21-The jury in the case
OF the People VS.. Z. P. Daniels and Joseph
Hutchings, charge of conspiracy, brought
in verdict of guilty this afternoon. De-
PENDANTS were charged with conspiring TO
obtain money Illegally from NJ. J.
Church, 3 prominent and wealthy citizen
here, by means of a suit for damages on
the ground that Church had slandered
Daniels daughter. The damage suit of
Miss Daniels against Church was tried in
Stockton recently and the jury gave YER
diet against Church for $4,000.
Church laid his case before
the grand jury of this county,
who indicted Daniels and Hutchings.
The trial has been in progress for the last
ten days. The testimony was OF rather an
unsavory character. Daniels was formerly
preacher at the Adventist church here.
Church testified that Daniels himself had
told him his tDaniels) daughter was i'm
pure. The jury in Its verdict asked the
court TO extend extreme mercy TO Hutch
ings. The case will be appealed.

Insurance Companies Consolidated.

SAN Francisco, April 20-The deal be-
tween the Fireman's Fund and California
Insurance Companies, of this city, by
which the Fireman's Fund takes the Pa
cific coast business of the California, went
into effect today, and the Fireman's Fund
began to reinsure all the risks of the Cali
fornia for the territory lying between the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific ocean,
including Texas. The Eastern business
of the California will be taken by the
Home Company of New York. l.. L..
Bromweli, president of the California,
said:
The California Insurance Company is perfect
ly solvent. By this deal the stock holders will
receive between s125 and $50 per share for their
stock, or profit of about $40 per share over and
above its book value. 1t is merely reinsurance
of its Office business to the Firemans Fund,
which will take over the Office building at a
satisfactory price. In view OF the TACT that
the directors in January last decided
not to pay dividends for one
year, or at least until the
California's surplus should exceed sl00, 600, the
directors thought they would subserve the best
interests of the stock holders by realizing profits
In sight by selling its business. The California
Insurance Company is the Oldest in the state,
and was org anized in 1861. 1t has paid l, 400 per
cent. to the original investors in the stock. The
company has 6,G00 shares of stock of the par
value OF 500. The surplus on January l. 1892
amounted to S. 60 per share. Since 1878 the
company has paid $SS05l6 in dividends, and the
assets have increased to 81, 123 l55.

CITY OF MEXICO. April 20.-The conser.
vative press asserts that the policy of the
president of Guatemala is hostile to Next
co. because of the unfriendly feeling en-
tertained by Barrios toward this republic.
Despite the promises of the San Saliva
dorean authorities and the action of the
Central American congress. it is asserted
in well-informed circles that President
Ezeta will eventually provoke war. The
San Salvadoreap government has de-
manded from Guatemala the extradltion

who has sought refuge in Guatemala. Pres
ident Ezeta says peace is necessary to the
