His Quorum Rule Sustained by the
Federal supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Among
the many cases passed upon by the
supreme court to- day was that brought
by New York importers to test the
constitutionality of the administrative
customs act passed by the last Con-
gress, the point in, olved being the
constitutionality of the celebrated
rule adopted by Speaker Reed in
counting quorum.
The decision affirms the constitu-
tionality Of the rule.
The constitution provides, says the
opinion, that majority of each House
shall constitute quorum to do busi-
ness. In other words, when major
ity is present the House is in posi-
ton to do business; its capacity to
transact business is then established
created by the mere presence of Q
majority and does not depend upon
the disposition, or assent or action oi
any single member or faction of .
majority present.
| All that the constitution requires il
the presence of a majority and wher
a majority is present the power of the
House arises.
The constitution has prescribed nj
methods of sscertaining the presence
of majority and it is clearly within
the competency of the House to pre-
scribe any method that may be reas
onably certain to ascertain the fact
, There was a quorum present whe
this bill passed, and the question
, whether quorum being present tn
bill received a sufficient number {
| votes; and here the general rule
, all parliamentary bodies is that whe
q quorum is present the act OF ms
iority of the body is valid.

STRONG FOR STEVE.

Portland Hunts Views on the Senatorial
Campaign.
Portland G. Hunt, the well-known at
torney who formerly resided here, has
returned, and yesterday in conversation
with HERALD reporter, spoke as fol.
lows Of the campaign of Stephen M.
White:
II hope Stephen M. White will be our
next senator. By his repeated cam
paign tours OF California he has become
thoroughly acquainted with the people
in every part OF the state, and certainly
understands their wants and needs bet
ter than any one else. I don't think
Foote'S support will amount to much
outside of San Francisco and Alameda
counties. The charges his friends are
making against White are very unfair,
to say the least. The Examiner is q
powerful paper, but it will not be able
to make the people of California believe
that Steve White is the kind of man
to be controlled by the Southern Pacific
or any other corporation. The people
know better. Yes, the people want
White, and this is year in which the
people are getting about what they
want. The country wanted Grover
Cleveland for president, and got him.
Los Angeles wanted Tommy Rowan for
mayor and got him. California wants
Stephen M. White for United States
senator, and have no doubt that we
will get him When our legislature meets
in January

WILD BEASTS IN TOWN.

Two California Lions Reported Near
EIysian Park.
1t is reported that couple Of Califor-
MIA lions have taken up their abode in
the hills constituting the Elysian park.
AS no depredations in the line of de-
voured calves or sheep have been men-
TONED yet, it is possible that the two
lions are merely pair of young mastiffs
that are running loose, and whom the
imagination of couple of gentlemen
has distorted into great ferocous cats.
Yet, owing to the close proximity of
mountains, it might just happen that
the two arrivals will turn out to be
lions.
Two days ago a visitor still lees
apt to investigate the close proximity
of a city was observed by HERALD re-
porter, not in the outskirts of town, but
right in its center. On Thursday morn
ing roadrunner, the bird which is said
to bear deadly enmity to the rattle
snake, was disporting himself in a
lively manner as il he was to the manor
born, and catching insects right jovially
on the property of DR.. Le Moyne Wills,
on the bluff on Buena Vista street, be-
tween Rock street and BELLEVUE avenue.
This is an extraordinary case, as road
runners or California pheasants, as they
are usually called, are very shy of civ
ilization and never are found near hu-
man habitations, except where they are
much scattered

CASES IN THE COURTS YESTERDAY
Judge Van Dyke Decides the
Case Of Graves VS.. Bean.
The Completion of the Trial of Cas-
tillOn, the Alleged Fence.
Points Of Judge Van Dykes Decision-A
Saddle for Whisky - Court
Notes - New Suits
Filed, ETC.

In the case OF Graves VS.. Bean, a suit
for an injunction restraining the de.
fendants from maintaining an irrigating
ditch, Judge Van Dyke yesterday
handed down the following opinion:
SIN the opinion of the court the tes-
timony shows conclusively that the de-
fendant knew of the change in the
waterway and the construction Of the
reservoir by plaintiffs over and upon the
old waterway or ditch, and consented to
the same; and that the defendant,
therefore, has no valid ground for COM
plant upon such ground. He who con-
sents to an act is not wronged by it.
(C. c., 3515)
"The defendant, therefore, cannot now
change his purpose and restore the old
ditch or waterway to the injury Of the
plaintiff. &c. c., 3512-3513.)
This view of the case makes it neces-
sary to consider the question whether
the defendant had any vested right in
the old ditch or waterway either by
grant or adverse will, or whether his
right was only to the use of the water to
be supplied at the north line of his
tract.
''The plaintiffs are entitled to the re-
lief asked and judgment will 60 accord
ingly."

Castillon's Case.

The trial of Juan Castillon, the jew
eler charged with receiving stolen goods,
was concluded in Judge Smiths court
yesterday and the case went to the jury
early in the afternoon.
Throughout the day the court room
was filed with people of the Latin
tongue, who took great interest in the
argu nents of the attorneys.
When court adjourned Friday Cas-
tillon was on the stand and yesterday
his examination was not concluded till
we'll into the morning session. The de-
fendant took matters philosophically and
betrayed but little interest in the pro
ceedings.
After the case had been argued anG
submitted, Judge Smith charged the
jury to perform its duties strictly in &C
cordance with the testimony adduced,
his remarks consuming nearly half an
hour in their delivery.

Orchardists Had Better Avoid Eastern
Nursery Stock,
Information has come to this office
that great quantities of peach trees and
trees on peach root are to be shipped
into this country from the east as stock
grown in Oregon.
There is no question but what this
country is at the present time in danger
OF plethora of pests, without running
the risk of an increased liability through
eastern importations OF diseased stock.
Planters who have their hands full in
endeavoring to suppress pests and keep
their orchards free from infection will
do we'll to give this matter careful con-
sideration. They will do well to buy
from California firms that are respon-
sible and are known to grow their own
stock, both seedlings and buds.
A few cents more or less in the cost OF
trees of home production counts for
nothing as against the introduction OF
pests that can scarcely be eradicated.
The attention OF the local inspectors
is called to the matter, and it is TO be
hoped that they will be examined thor
ouchIy

II. Voine, at Alt Wall street, pleaded
guilty to the Indictment yesterday
morning. He waived counsel.

self broke, and in fit of desperation
he committed the crime of which he
is accused. He secured a saddle from
the premises, All Wall street, and hur-
ried with it to pawnshop, where he
disposed of it for 80 cents. The pro-
ceede of the sale he at once invested in
whisky. The complaining witnesses
placed the value of the saddle at SIS.
Judge Smith then sentenced Davss to
two years at Folsom.

twice we heard he was drinking little

died, was raving maniac, and tried
hard to kill her baby son by throwing
