There was little child whose dear Young face

AS creeps the timid TO q resting place,
She came to me.
In perfect love she fingered at my side,
And chartered simple words upon my knes.
My love was OF kind that must abide
Eternally
How sweet TO feel the pressure OF her hand
To hear the voice and see tho quiet face:
The eyes whose language could understand,
The childish grace.
o little child and II loved you thus,
1t was because you seemed gift from Heaven

There came q time when He was pleased to call
My little child. and leave me quite alone.
The broken baby toys are now my all,
That were her own.
And II my tears fall sometimes when take
Tho little wooden horse upon my knee,
And II my voice with sudden sobs may break,

The Heather Chtnee or the Court That
Accepts His Straw Bond?
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.-District
Judge Morrow on January 28th fixed to-
day for the appearance in court of 140
Chinese who were given liberty on
bonds, but who were to have been re-
manded today to the custody of the
United States marshal and be returned
to China. Each principal had two
Chinese sureties on his bond, and in all
there appeared to be over 400 Chinese
interested in the proceedings, and in
case the principals failed to appear, the
sureties were liable for the gross sum OF
$2l0,000. Neither principals nor sure
ties appeared in court today, and Judge
Morrow ordered that all cases be de-
faulted and the bonds forfeited. When,
however, Judge Morrow issued an order
looking to the collection Of the amounts
due from the sureiies, Assistant United
States District Attorney Witter said
that under ruling by Attorney General
Miller, no suits were authorized by the
government against sureties where re-
coyery was not probable. Witter was
instructed to ask for another ruling in
this case from the attorney general, but
it is understood that but few of the
bonds are supposed to be collectable.

ROME, Feb. 12.-The pope gave a
special audience today to Thomas B.
Bryan and his son, Col. Charles P.
Bryan, Chicago worlds fair commission
ers. 1t was a state ceremony. Bryan
fully and explicitly explained the large
scope and immense Importance of the
projected exposition. He earnestly So
licited the pope's adhesion to, and CO.
operation in, the great movement which
would bring together the products of all
the nations of the world, and prove an
incalculable incentive to trade in all
directions.
The pope listened very attentively, and
said he would be delighted to take part
in the exposition, and would contribute
as far as possible to the success and eclat
of the undertaking. He assured his
hearers that he was moved in the matter
by special love and admiration for the
American people.
Bryan suggested that his holiness
issue pontifical letter embodying the
sentiments he had expressed, and said
such document would be powerful
aid in enlisting European cooperation
in the fair.
The pope promised to comply with
the request of Mr.. Bryan. He made
many inquiries concerning affairs in the
United States, and by his conversation
in regard to current events, showed a
thorough and appreciative knowledge of
the country and its people.
Bryan afterward had conference
with Cardinal Rampolla, papal secre-
tary of state, in which arrangements
were made in regard to the details of the
exhibits which the holy see will send to
Chicago.

Silver and socialist Questions Before the
August Body.
BERLIN, Feb. 12.-In the reichstag to-
day the bill providing for the withdrawal
from circulation of the Austrian vereins-
thaler passed the third reading. Malt
zarn, minister of finance, replying to
Louschmers, who had expressed fear
that the sale of such quantity of silver
as the government would obtain through
the withdrawal would cause drop in
the price of that metal, stated that the
sale would not commence until Austria
had given her due proportion of the
withdrawal. He added that the bill
would not prejudicially affect the selec-
ton of favorable moment to dispose OF
German stocks of silver.
There was lively scene in the reich
stag, brought about during the discus
sion of the railway estimates. Herr
Strum, Imperialist, supported the gov
ernment in dismissing Socialist agitators
from the state workshops. Herr Bebel,
Socialist, violently denounced Strum's
views, and heated debate followed.
Herr Barth said it was clear the mem
bers of the right wanted to provoke a
conflict, probably leading to civil war.
At this juncture the debate was ad-
journed.

BULLS AND BEARS.
An Exciting Morning on the San Fran

An Exciting Morning the San Fran
cisco Stock Exchange.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 12.-The mining
shares market opened quietly OF early
call this morning, until Norcross was
reached, and then the lobby was treated
to sight rarely, if ever before, seen on
the floor of the exchange. The brokers
were separated in two cliques, with
quite space between them, each set
ting an entirely different scale of value.
One party was trying to keep the stock
up with bids at 1920, taking all offer
ings at that figure, while the other was
throwing shares out in big blocks at
$2.10 for the purpose of breaking prices.
Between them the price on morning call
will average from So 05 to 1925, and it
will take considerable figuring on all
sides to discover who came out on top.
The balance of the market, while very
sensitive was not particularly active, and
prices were steady. In outside mines
there was nothing doing, and there was
no demand for any stocks. After the
regular session there was frmer tone
in Norcross, and the market generally
closed shade higher.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.-At late hour
today the Sacramento grand jury sub
mitted its report and was discharged
by Judge sCatin. The report says in
part:
sin regard to the election of United
States senator to succeed Hon. George
Hearst, deceased, while we have heard
many rumors of improper conduct on
the part of some members of the late
legislature in connection Herewith, ow-
ing to the absence from the state of
many of the most important witnesses,
we have been unable to investigate the
matter in the thorough manner that
the importance of the case demands.
"We have heard much about a sena-
torial combine in the last legislature,
and have examined many witnesses in
our endeavor to give the matter full
and thorough investigation. While we
have had some very positive and dam
aging testimony, the preponderance of
evidence (whether true or false) has
been of. such directly contradictory
character that we have been unable to
find any indictment in connection
Herewith. Some of the witnesses have
become suddenly afflicted with loss of
memory to such an extent as to indicate
mental imbecility."
The jury recommends that the attor-
ney general call the attention of the
grand juries of the various counties to
the s'lieu lands" frauds. The Jury is
satisfied that many persons made false
affidavits.
Referring to the "waste basket" scan
dal of the last legislature, the report
says: "We have spent much time and
labor in considering the report of the
attorney general, and in the investiga-
tion of the subject matter therein re
ferred to, commonly known as the
waste basket scandal and in 80 doing
we have summoned numerous witnesses,
and from various sections of the state
we have had issued by the district
attorney subpenas for many witnesses
upon whom we have been unable to get
service, owing to the absence OF said wit
nesses from their homes and the counties
Of their respective residences, and in sew
eral instances, absence from the state.
We have had before us and have exam
ined every person that we could procure
by subpoena or otherwise, whom we had
reason to believe could throw any light
upon the inquiry. We have earnestly
and zealously endeavored to ascertain
who brought to- this city $500 in paper
money referred to in said report Of the
attorney-general, and to whom the same
was paid. and for what purpose. After
an exhaustive ex animation of the mat
ter, we have been unable to ascertain
the above facts"

RUSSIAN HORRORS.
Terrible Results of Cold, Pestilence and
Famine. U%

LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch from
Panza, the capital of the government of
that name, says the thermometer regis
ters 5S degrees below zero, and there is
terrible suffering among the peasants.
A number of men were frozen to death
on the highroads. 600
Grain was contributed for the famine
sufferers at Penza, but it is impossible
to distribute it, because nearly all the
horses have been killed for food or sold
to procure money with which to buy
necessarles of life. 1t is estimated that
nearly million draught animals have
been killed throughout the empire
since autumn.
Typhus fever, ,smallpox,and diphtheria
are decimating the inhabitants. Around
Penza two hundred peasants have died
from these diseases.
The dispatch adds that in the govern
ments of Samara, Saratov and Mini
Novgorod, the condition is far worse
than in Penza. In those governments
thousands of peasants have fallen vic
Tins to hunger and disease. In the
governments of Charkov and Kazan,
typhus is especially terrible in it's raw
ages. The inhabitants are dying by
hundreds.

Gave the Boodler.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.-Judge Van
Fleet this morning overruled the de-
murrer Of the defendant in the case of
Q. J. Stillwell VS.. Elwood Bruner.
Plaintiff, who is San Francisco Ex-
aniiner reporter, alleged that the defend
ant represented that he could for $500
secure the appointment for an individ-
ual on the police force of San Francisco.
Plaintiff further alleges that in the in
terest of good morals and for the pur-
pose of exposing the defendant, he rep
resented himself as Thomas Staley and
paid $400 to Bruner to receive such ap-
po5ntment. The appointment was not
made and plaintiff sued for the recovery
of the money. The defendant de-
mprred to the complaint in general
TERMS, and held that in any event
plaintiff was equally guilty with him
self. The court holds that the plea of
equal criminality is not good; that
when an illegal enterprise is entered
upon, either party has the right to stop
short and withdraw therefrom at any
time. The court is of the opinion that
the plaintiff has right to recover, and
the demurrer is therefore overruled and
defendant given ten days to answer.

SPANISH ANARCHISTS.
The Executions at Xeres Did Not Pro
duce Salutary Effect

The Executions at Xeres Did Not Pro-
duce salutary Effect.
LISBON, Feb. PA sensation was
caused in this city today by the ex-
plosion OF bomb of dynamite in front
Of the Spanish consulate here. The
noise of the explosion was terrific, but
no damage was done, beyond the smash
ing OF the windows in the consulate and
in few houses near. Nobody was in
iured. The police are searching for the
author of the outrage, who is supposed
to be an Anarchist.
The Anarchist executions at Xeres
have not had the effect of putting stop
to Anarchist agitation. Several bands
of Anarchists have been marauding the
country in that region, and the citizens
are thoroughly frightened. The casinos,
cafes, shops and theaters are all closed
at night. Gendarmes are chasing the
Anarchists, who hide as soon as they
approach.
From Cadiz today comes the intelli-
gence that the police arrested three
Anarchists who were found to be armed
with long, keen daggers. They had in
their possession quantity of usual
fiery Anarchistic documents, calling
upon the people to avenge the deaths of
their executed comrades, and to right
the wrongs which the working people
suffer.

Incenses the Irish Members.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-In the commons
today the debate was continued on Ed
munds' amendment in favor of releas-
ing the treason felony prisoners. Fitz-
gerald complained of the silence of Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, whom be
regarded as the real jailor Of Egan and
DAILY. Sir William said he
had Stunned debate because the
prisoners had been convicted of the
most henious crime that could
be conceived of. He concluded by de-
nouncing Fenianism as calculating to
incite outrages. His remarks about
Fenianism were frequently warmly in
terrupted by Irish members. William
Redmond strongly repudiated the as
sertion that Fenianism melted violence.
He said, amid Irish cheers, that men in
Ireland had been driven to desperation
by the tyranny of successive govern
ments. After further debate, Redmond g
amendment was negatived, 16S to 81.

Cowboys and Indiana.

LoRDsBURa, N. M, Feb. 21.-A report
from the White Mountain Indian reser-
walton states that there are fears of
trouble, owing to complication arising
between Indians and cowmen on the
reservation. The trouble originally
grew out of the killing of a squaw by q
Mexican vaquero, Vicente Ramirez.
Ramirez was afterwards arrested at this
place and taken to the Clifton Jail. 1t
is understood that the interior depart
ment has issued order to Immediately
remove all cattle from the reservation.
Unless some action is taken, trouble is
feared, owing to the excited condition of
the India ans.
