The San Francisco postoffice site is
the subject of investigation in Washing
ton. 1t seems to be reduced to the
question as to whether any of the COM
missioners who selected the Seventh and
Mission streets site had been bribed.
and naturally enough, the progress in
this direction is not promising. Such
things are not Usually known of all men,
and yet the examining board seem to
think that they will have done their
whole duty if they advertise for wit
nesses to come forward to testify. They
are careful not to give Importance to
that part of the transaction which can
easily be shown to be gross swindle,
namely, the fact that the property is
not worth half the amount stipulated
to be paid for it. This is where the
great crookedness comes in. 1t is not
difficult to come to the conclusion that
if the government pays 81, 1,040,000 for
property that is not worth $500, 900,
there must be bribery and corruption
included in so palpable swindle.

AFRAIp or THE LOTTERY.
The ssAntis" VIII Continue Their Fieh
In Louisiana.

In Louisiana.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 4.-The New
Delta, the organ of the anti-lottery
party. will tomorrow contain an inter
view with the chairman of the anti-lot-
terry Democratic executive committee. to
the effect that Morris's withdrawal of
his lottery proposition will not make the
slightest change in the programme of
their party. He adds that the proposi-
ton heretofore made by the lottery is no
longer acceptable to it's advocates bv
reason of the curtailment of its revenue
through the decision of the supreme
court, but should the attempt to capture
the state not succeed, they may vet
strive to call a constitutional con-
vention under the pretext of
regulating suffrage and obtain another
grant for lottery, in the new constitu-
ton, on terms more favorable than. the
amendment now pending, or adopt an
other means of achieving their object,
"All former experiences with the LOT
terv," says the chairman" have taught
us that it is fertile in schemes to effect
its purpose. We intend to see that the
amendment is voted down in April. by
such a majority as to preclude all pos
sibility of further agitation on the oues-
ton, and none but anti-lottery men
will be placed on guard until all lotter-
les have ceased to maintain legal exist
ence in the state of louisiana

Why is it that the friends of Mr.. De
Young have forced the senatorial con-
test to the front so early in the cam
paign? Is it for the purpose OF making
Senator FELTON, chow his hand before he
considers it the proper time to do so
We do not take any stock in the asser-
tion that Senator FELTON, bad made a
compact with De Young to leave the
succession to him if he would help him
TO secure the unexpired term of Mr..
Hearst. FELTON, is a man who has great
faith in FELTON,, and is not made up that
way. Besides he is very successful in
working out his own political destiny.
He will make very strong fight to sue
ceed himself. But in the meantime a
Democratic victory in this state may
make it matter Of the utmost indiffer-
ence as to which of the Republican
candidates stands best with his own
party,

THE most sensational trial New York
Harris, young medical student, who
was recently married to a Miss Potts,
and who was charged with her murder
by administering poison. Harris be-
longs to good family, but was known
to have been an unconscionable lib
ertine. The mother of Miss Potts in
sisted that Harris should make his mar
riage public and have her daughter rec
ognized by his family. But just before
this was to be done according to agree
ment, it was charged that Harris gave
his wife morphine in order to produce
death. The dose SO eventuated. The
trial attracted unprecedented attention,
and some of the most famous physicians
and chemists were placed on the stand
to show, from the autopsy, that the girl
died from the effects OF morphine. Hy-
pothetical questions covering every point
in the testimony touching the symptoms
of the patient before death. and the rev.
elations Of the analysis of the organs af-
ter death, were propounded to physi-
clans who are recognized authorities in
toxicology, and the answers were that
death was caused by morphine poison.
The trial lasted a number of days, and
women fought in the corridors OF the
court, SO eager were they to gain ad-
mission. When the jury returned a
verdict of guilty, there was a scene
rarely paralleled in notable trials. The
mother of Harris rose and denounced
the verdict as a lie and the jurors as
murderers; and another son hurled an
athemas at them. Meantime the cool
est person in the room was the prisoner,
who leisurely prepared cigarette as he
was taken out of the court by the
sheriff.

A DISPATCH from New York announces
that Armstrong, the retired insurance
capitalist. has plan on foot, backed by
Morgenthau, to create comprehensive
fruit trust in this state. Mr.. Armstrong
is said to be on his way to California to
forward his scheme, and that he will
include his great fruit farm in this state
In the combination. We have yet to see
what this proposition means. Thus far
it is not clear whether this proposed
frnst is for the purpose of benefitinp
fruit-growers generally, or whether it ia
the intention of its promoters to brins
all the largest fruit-growers into it,
monopolize the market and force the
small cultivators to sell at loss. We
have q great distrust of the fair inten-
tions of trusts, yet this inchoate COM
bination may be intended to give all the
California fruit-growers the benefit of
the advantage of bringing the growers
and consumers closer together. and
making the former to reap some Of the
enormous profits the middlemen are
now making out of the fruit industry.
We have received letter from the
secretary of the state board of horticul
sture announcing the convention Of fruit
producers to be held at Fresno on the
18th inst, "for the purpose of consider
ing the advisability of organizing into
one organization to better control and
market their products" The conyen-
tion viii meet just in time to take notice
OF this Armstrong trust proposition,
and we have no doubt it will investigate
the subject, and thsefruit farmers will
be in position to know the best course
70 pursue in regard to it. Perhaps Mr..
Armstrong's scheme is to make COM
bination that will let all the fruit-grow-
ers, large and small, into its benefits,
and that the organization suggested as

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 4.-The state board
of agriculture held it's annual meeting
tonight. Fred Cox was reelected pres
ident; G. w. Hancock, superintendent
of park, and Chris Green, super
intendent of pavilion. The
board discussed the proposition
to discard season tickets henceforth.
but deferred action till next meeting.
The date of opening the next state fair
was fixed for the first Monday in Sep
tember, racing and stock displays to
commence the following Thursday. The
board made the following suggestions,
among others, for district fair
dates: San Jose. August 1st
to 9th; state fair September
9th to 18th; Stockton, September 10th
to 24th; Fresno, September 26th to
October 1st. In the matter of the ex-
hibition of sheep, it was decided to
require affidavits from the owners as to
dates of lambing, on or after January
1st, and OF shearing on or after March
1st. The usual stakes for trotting and
pacing colts will be given. The board
will meet again March 21st.

THE MESSIAH CRAZE.
Arapahoe, Cheyenne and Usage Indian
Still lmbued with 1t.

Arhpdhoe, NHcychho anu usage INDIANS
Still imbued with 1t.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Captain Higgins,
aide-de-camp TO General Miles, returned
today from a trip to Indian territory.
"The Arapahoe, Cheyenne and Usage
Indians still cling to the belief that the
Messiah will appear some day to save
them" said Captain Higgins. ''They
do not pretend to know the date fixed
for their deliverance, but say God will
destroy the white people and place the
Indians back in the happy, independent
state of their existence before the white
people came"
Captain Higgins witnessed the distri-
button of cattle for the Indians at the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe agencies. The
cattle supplied by the contractor were so
thin and poor that one of the chiefs OBJ
iected to them. The officer who in
spected the cattle rejected them. An
investigation showed that all poor and
worthless cattle were given to the Indi-
ans, the fatter ones being shipped to
the markets.

GARzA seems to be very hard man
to catch. One day we hear that he is
surrounded and sure to be taken. The
next, advices come to the effect that he
has large force of well armed men
under him, and that the whole of the
border Mexican states are ready to join
him as soon as he makes movement to
strike. Today he is poor; tomorrow he
is backed by the richest men in Mexico
and has unlimited funds. One does not
know what to believe in the face of re-
ports so greatly at odds with each other.
1t is certain that there must be great
deal of dissatisfaction in Mexico. Diaz
is undoubtedly man who holds
power with a firm grasp. He be-
ieves that Mexico can only be ruled
by force, and he puts forth his mailed
hand to crush every man who stands in
his way. Witness the celebrity with
which Colonel Hernandez, an officer
wellbeloved, was ''tried" and sentenced
to be shot because he failed to crush
CARA, against whom he was sent. 1t does
not appear that he was able to crush
or even punish him. Yet he was sum
marily condemned. There must be
something more behind this than ap-
pears on the surface. Yet it is just such
acts OF despotism that raise friends to a
revolution, and this may account for the
TACT that Garza's revolt has lasted go
long, and threatens to become a first
class revolution, unless yesterdays
news, that he was hunted to his hole,
turns out to be true.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. Frohman's comedy company was
greeted by large audience last even
ing at the opera house, in the perform
ance "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" The
play is the funniest that has ever been
seen here. Mr.. Wilkinson's widows are
two ladies, leach of whom firmly believes
that he had no other wife. An old
lover of one of them turns up, and be-
ing a friend of the London Mrs. Wilkin-
sons new husband, Mr.. Perrin, makes
certain damaging revelations to that
gentleman that even to the audience for
an act seem distinctly to refer to Mrs.
Perrin. No one can see the way the plot
will go even until the very end of the
last act, although the real state of the
case is plain enough to the audience.
The lines are frequently very bright and
the situations and the business keep
the audience constantly amused. 1t is
an evenings hearty, enjoyable laughter
such as is not often offered.
George Drew Barrymore played Mrs
Percival Perrin perfectly, her stage
business" being worthy of deep study
by all young women who aspire to be-
come actresses.
Mr.. Joseph Hollands Mr.. Perrin was
marked by perfection of detail work,
which produced complete character,
sturdy and enjoyable all the way
through.
Mr.. Ryley's Dickerson was not the
strongest role, but was devoid of any
fault OF moment.
Miss Bancker made charming Mrs.
Dickerson, and at one time drew forth
a hearty round Of applause by little
bit of serious acting, which had none of
the aid of comedy work to carry it
through.
The Major Mallory of Mr.. Burns was
delightful hit, to which the Susanna
of Matte Ferguson was an excellentfoi
each respectively being perfect types of
light and low comedy. Only praise can
be said of Miss Woods Mary, and in
fact it would be supercritical to look for
any faults in any of the company.
Nothing more laughable can well be
imagined. The fun gradually increases
from the rising of the curtain until it
falls on the last act, where the fun cul-
inmates.
The cast is as follows:
Mr.. Percival Perrin, a literary man -
Mrs. Percival Perrin, formerly Mrs. Wiikin-
son. n.................G George Drew Barrymore

it was dynamite bomb, and told her

Moresi and Gibson met in an alley, as
the latter was going to work ON the

knife into Gibson's neck, making an
ugly but probably not fatal wound

report. The floor was Uttered with
debris of crockery, hot vegetables

He had been struck in the leg by frag-
ment OF iron. Charles Campbell,

corner moaning and incapable of
motion. . All the gaslights were extin-
guished by the concussion, and for
a time there was great confusion.
Campbell was taken to the receiving
hospital, and it was found that he had
sustained compound fracture of the
right arm and two lacerated wounds of
the right thigh. His wounds, though
