MESSENGER ROBERTS.
An Efficient Officer and Brave and Pom
ular Young Man.

An Efficient Officer and a Brave and Pom
ular Young Man.
George ID. Roberts, the messenger who
was In charge of the express-car at the
time of the attack, is very well known and
equally we'll liked in this city. The officers
of the express company. his fellow-workers
and his acquaintance all speak Of him
in the most fiattering terms.
They all unite in saying that nothing but
dynamite could make George weaken, and
that he would certainly have made gal
liant fight had he been given a chance.
1T was only the night before he left on
this trip" said an intimate friend of his
that we were talking of train-robbers, and
George said laughingly that he had been
lucky during his 10 years of service as a
messenger, because he had never been held
up"
What would you do il you met with a
train-rObber?" | asked him.
"Oh! / don't know; but you may bet /
would fight as long as l had a chance" said
he
'Itiis singular that the very night follow
ing that conversation he got the experience
we had been making the subject of careless
remark"
The messenger is native of California,
and a resident of Los Angeles, where his
young wife and his parents also reside. He
is nephew of George d. Roberts, a mining
man now in New York, but formerly q we'll
known resident of Virginia City and other
California mining towns.

to be Of no value whatever, either CONNER
cially or strategically.
The guano deposit should be nearly If Dot
quite exhausted and, besides, The guano de-
posts OF the small coral atoliS in the North
Pacific are ordinarily of very poor quality.
Caroline Island, situated about ten degrees
south of the equator and IN about 80 west
longitude, is already owned by Houlder
Bros, London, England, and the eXporta-
tion of guano from that island has ceased.
A few c0coanutS are raised there, nut not
sufficient TO bring in much revenue. Inc
same firm owns two or three other small
islands, some of which. if my memory
serves ne right. are in the North Pacine.
During the United States expedition IN
1883 to observe the total solar eclipse OF the
sun, l resided for about three weeks on one
of the coral islands, made survey oil the
same, examined into the resources OF many
others in the vicinity, and now would not
accept the minority Of them as gilt
The establishment of a coaling or supply
station Of any kind upon Johnston Island
would be attended with extraordinary
expenses, and after establishing such a
station very strong feet would be required
to protect st. In the event OF war, our
cruisers could replenish their coal supply
there as readily as the hostile vessels could,
unless several strong warShips were kept
there constantly. The station would. in
That case, be source OF weakness TO Great
Britain, aud would enable us to capture
Esquimalt without much difficulty.
From diplomatic point Of view, how
ever, IL may be regarded as undesirable that
European powers should be permitted to
annex even worthless islands in the North
Pacific, as the precedent once established,
the way would be oren for the aeQui sitiOn
OF some valuable position in the near future.
The authorities at Washington Will be
certain TO attend 10 our Interests in this and
all similar matters in the future as they
have in the past. Very truly yours,

How the News Was Received at Fourth
and Townsend Streets.
The first news Of the robbery reached
this city at $40 A. NJ, when Division Su-
perintendent Frazier sent dispatch to r.
L. Pratt the assistant superintendent of the
Southern Pacific Company, informing him
OF the occurrence. At S:26 A. NJ Mr.. Frazier
telegraphed that the amount of money
taken was not large-only three bags Of
silver-and that the injuries to the mes
senger We're not serious. Later another dis
patch said that the robbery on ly DELAYED the
train 20 minutes, bat that it took the train
crew 30 minutes more to repair the damages
done TO the engine. so as to be able 10 pro-
coed.
News was received that Detectives Hickey
and Will Smith, who happened to be in
Fresno, at once started for the scene of the
robbery, where at daylight they were Joined
by Sheriff Heasey and a posse.
The dispatches received by Assistant Su-
perintendent Pratt later in the day an
nOunced that only two men engaged in the
robbery, and that the officers had succeeded
in tracking them TO place on the outskirts
OF the city of Fresno, where their trail was
lost.
General Superintent Fillmore Is out of the
city, and the Who'll matter of directing the
pursuit from this city devclved upon Mr..
Pratt, although General Manager Towne
and Special Agent Fabian were also busy

Mr.. Rowell then went on TO say that De-
tectiVes Hume and Thacker left for the
scene of the robbery on the morning over
land train yesterday and that they will al
once join in the pursuit of the rob
bers. In the opinion Of Mr.. Rowell
the robbery has not been committed
by any known or notorious characters.
lie thinks, however. that quite a number OF
people reside permanently in Fresno and
surrounding towns who are quite capable Of
turning stage or train robbers at any time.

VIEWS AT WASHINGTON.

Not Much Importance Attached to the
Alleged Seizure Of the Island.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The report that
the British Government had taken posses
sion of Johnston Island, in the Pacific
Ocean, does not excite much interest in
official circles. for the reason that the island
is of no value for strategic purposes a nd
because Its supply of guano is practically
exhausted. At the Department of State it
is said that the United States had exercised
a iurisdictional right over the island since
1855, when the American Guano Company
landed a party thereon and occupied il.
Territorial jurisdiction, however, had never
been claimed by the United States and the
Island had never been annexed. The United
States would exert its jurisdictional rights
over the island to protect the guano CONF
pany in pur suit of its business But il is
said there would be no conflict with the
territorial jurisdiction set forward by any
other Government. In case the guanO CON-
pany abandoned operations on the island,
this Government would have no jurisdiction
whatever over it.
The State Department officials are reti-
cent about discussing the Johnston Island
affair. The department has no means of
knowing whether the island has been
abandoned by Americans who Were there
engaged in shipping guano. If the Ameri-
cans are still IN occupation and the island
is found to be of any account for either
commercial or naval purposes, the United
States vii, certainly make n protest.
But il il is found that the Americans have
abandoned the Island, any nation may APP
propriate il according TO the decision of
Attorney General JeTe Black in 1859, who
said that the Hawaiians. having abandoned
| the island, lost all claim to it; that il
| was necessary for nation TO leave men in
/ actual occupancy, and that when 1t was
| abandoned by the Hawaiians the United
! States was justified in laying claim to and
occupying it as its own territory.
The belief is general here among those
who profess TO know anything whatever
| concerning the island, that the guano de-
| pOsits arc exhausted and there is nothing
| there nov but narrow lodges Of rock.

Diverse Interpretations of the BaiIo,
Law by State Officials.

Diverse Interpretations of tho Ballot
Law by State Officials.
K. g. Waite, Secretary of State, has de-
cided to give space to the American party
ticket upon the ballots to be used at the
coming election. Attorney General Hart
mad previously decided that the Prohibition
party was the only one entitled to this dis
function along with the Republicans and the
Democrats, on the ground that the vote for
John Bidwell, the head of the ticket.
amounted to at least per cent of the vote
cast at the last election That is the re-
quirement of the new law under which the
next election will be conducted. The
Secretary OF State contends that as John
6Iuweil was on the American as well as the
Prohibition ticket it is impossible In sago
regate the vote, and that the rest Of
the American ticket did not draw 8 per cent
OF the total vote is no reason for believing
mat the head OF that ticket failed to receive
Inc requisite percentage TO entitie the party
candidates to be plared on the new ballot.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Superintendent SWEET has Talk with
the Vice-PrincipaIs.


the INTERCHANGEABLE.
Superintendent SWEET had an hours in
teresting talk with the vice principals of
the public schools yesterday afternoon in
Grant School, Golden Gate avenue The
object of the meeting was to explain and
answer any questions on the revised course
OF study. He read to them the remarks Of
President Elliott Of Harvard University at
the Teachers Institute meeting here with
some little notifications Of his own. He
said the main point he wished to direct their
attention to was the giving of too much tina
to arithmetic. Regarding longitude and
time, II they felt II their duty 10 teach il
then let them 90 on doing so, although it
would save great deal of worry by letting
it alone. He suggested that less time be
given to arithmetic and more put into the
teaching OF natural science and reading
aloud. Reading aloud was more neglected
than anything else. He then touched upon
geography and history. Temarking that in
Boston geography had been eliminated
down to the eighth grade.
Regarding an exchange of work between
the eighth and seventh grades in teaching
grammar and arithmetic, he felt sure it
would be better for the pupils and an adj
vantage to the teachers. There was no
compulsIon about it, but they should see if
they could agree upon An exchange as sug-
gested. AS to bookkeeping, they could
leave out business forms" If they thought
it desirable. Regarding an elementary
course In the practical applications of ge-
ometry. he advised them Eot TO touch il
unless they believed they could do it. If,
however. by careful study they could work
up d course properly, it would be an ad-
mlrable thing for the pupils.
Questions were asked the Superintendent
as to the textbook in drawing, music COW
books. etc. 1t was the general feeling of
the vice principals that it was preferable
not to use the copy-books. but to get blank
books and the teachers write in them in.
stead, as 1t was better help in acquiring
good penmanship.
No other questions being asked. the
Superintendent declared the meeting ad-
journed.
