AKGENrINA's FOREIGN DEBTS.

English financial circles are deeply
interested in the question of the amount
of interest the Argentine Republic
will or can pay at the end of the mora
torium.
The proposition of DR.. Luis Saenz
Pena, the President elect, for com
position OF the foreign debt of the coun-
try foreshadows reduction of three per
cant. in the interest on all national
securities.
This seems to be as much as Argen-
tina can accomplish, and she can only
do 1t provided that the debts of the
bankrupt provinces are not saddled
upon her.
President elect Pena's idea seems to
be to abolish the amortization on all
foreign debts for an indefinite period,
to pay three per cent. on the 1886 and
funding loans for seven or ten wears
and two per cent. on all the other
national debts.
At the end Of ten years four per cent
is to be paid on the 1856 and funding
loans and three per cent. on the rest.
This seems the very best that Argentina
can ever promise to do. and to accom-
plish it she must be at peace at home
and abroad. The English fnanciers
will have to accept it or probably fare far
worse.

FIREBUGs AT SAN DIEGO.
Several Dastardly Attempts at Startin
COnhagration.

COnnagrat1On.
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 9.-Several fires have
occurred in this city during the past few
days, few of which are known to have
been incendiary. The report was cir
culated that slight blaze that occurred
in the st. James hotel was incendiary,
but there is no substantiation of the
fact. There was fire about 80 this
morning in the Leland block, one OF the
best buildings in the city, which is known
to have been started by some one with
evil design. Shortly after the alarm
was turned in, an empty gasoline can
and bundle of rags, saturated with
oil and gasoline, were found at the door
of lodger on the third floor of the
building. just before the fire was dis
covered, man was heard to run
through the hall and down stairs. The
occupants of the building, which is
used as an apartment house, were
thoroughly terrified as the house
was quickly filled with smoke. Several
women were caught on the point of
jumping from second and third story
windows. An hour later fire was dis
covered in another part of town, in an
unoccupied building, but was extin-
guished before much damage was done.
The citizens are thoroughly aroused, and
efforts will be made to have the police
force increased. The town is overrun
with tramps who come here to escape
the cold weather. -

PLAcERvILLE, Cal, Feb. 9.-The re-
mains of young Klein, one of the two
young men who perished in the noun
tains in December last, were brought to
Placerville today by William Watson
and William Ryhard. The body, which
was found two miles this side of Straw
berry valley, was horribly mutilated by
wolves and coyotes. Both feet were
missing, and the flesh from the
limbs and face was entirely eaten
away. The remains, notwithstanding
their almost unrecognizable condition,
were positively identified by J. Klein
of Carson City, as those of his son. The
reward of 5000 for the recovery of the
body was Immediately paid over to Wat
son and Ryhard by the father, who will
take the remains to Oakland for burial
Owing to the great depth of the snow in
the mountains, the finders were three
days in getting the remains to this city,
a distance of forty miles.

Housekeepers

VIII Find great care necessary to prevent dan
w Ill L lllu ger to the family food through the
introduction of the low grade baking powders that
contain lime and alum.
All baking powders that offered the public under
misrepresentation as to their ingredients are to be
avoided.
Baking powders advertised as having published
upon their labels all the ingredients used in them are
shown by the Government investigation to have in their
composition four different substances upon their label
amounting to large per cent of their entire weight two
of which substances lime and subhnryc acid! Most
of the alum powders sold by falsely representing
them pure and wholesome cream of tartar powders
Protection from alum baking powders
can be had only by declining to accept
any substitute for the Royal. All official
tests prove it to be cream of tartar
baking powder superior to all others in
purity, strength and wholesomeness.
See that no baking powder is received
into your kitchen in place of the Royal.

COAST DEFENSE GUNS.
A Gun Factory Badly Needed on the Pa
cifc Coast.

CHIC CO86b.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-General Flay-
Ter, chief of the bureau of ordnance, ap-
peared before the coast defense commit
tee of the senate this morning, and
urged the establishment of a gun factory
on the Pacific coast. Regarding the
number of guns necessary for the pro-
lection of the three principal points on
the Pacific, namely San Diego, San Fran
cisco and the north of the Columbia
river, General Flayler said it would re-
quire 1S5 new steel guns and 100 steel
mortars.
Relative to the defenses of San Fran.
cisco, the general said it was the present
plan to mount all the eight and ten
inch guns on disappearing carriages
the larger guns to be placed in barbette
and metal turrets. These disappearing
carriages would cause the gun to disap-
pear behind the parapet, which conceals
and protects the gun and its personnel
while loading and firing.
In response to a question as to the
carriages for guns already completed,
the general said none were now finished,
but three weeks ago evidently having
in mind the Chilean affair." he was pre-
pared to mount in haste, guns on old
carriages now on the Pacific coast.

San Francisco Highbinders.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-It was at first
believed that the murder of DIR. Chuey
Sue Yee, the Chinese physician who
was shot Saturday night, was merely a
wanton murder, not due to highbinder
clans. Now, however, the police are
confident it was committed by order OF
the Chin Ling Sam society. The head
quarters OF this society were raided to-
day, and the idols and paraphernalia
smashed. A new police station will be
opened tomorrow morning in the heart
of Chinatown. Seven officers have been
assigned to it, and it is believed the
highbinder wars will now be kept under
better control.

BOISE Cry, Idaho, Feb. 9.-Another
heavy snow storm is prevailing through
out Southern Idaho, greatly to the dis
couragement of the stock men, who had
hoped for an early spring. The present
fall of snow will amount to six inches,
making it impossible for the starving
cattle and horses to uncover the
scant feed. Stock men say there
is absolutely no hope fol
the stock on the ranges. Thousands oi
animals are already dead, and the efforts
to save the remaining thousands will be
abandoned. In some of the valleys the
farmers have run short of feed and
have been compelled to turn thefpoorest
of their stock adrift to starve. Scores
of complaints regarding starving ami
mails have been made to the stock in
spector, but he is powerless to act. The
present winter has never been equaled
IN Idaho.
