war ships in The Pacific.

SAN DIEGO, March 22.-The cruiser
Yorktown entered the harbor today and
cast anchor, having come direct from
Callao, which port she left March 4. She
will leave for San Francisco tomorrow.
Commander Evans states the cruiser
Boston is also on the way up, but is stop
ping at all Central American and Mexi-
can ports and is expected to arrive here
within five or six days. Captain. Evans
also reports the French man-ef-war
Champlain and the English flagship
Warsprite are to be expected here with
in five or six days. The Champlain will
remain here for some time. Captain
Evans refers to the assault of the Balti-
more sailors as dastardly outrage on
American citizens, and says, had his
men been assaulted, he would have
opened fire on Chill.

Results of stock Camping.

PHILADELPHIA, March 22.-The su-
preme court has affirmed the decision
OF the court of common pleas of Phila-
delphia county in favor of Mrs. Della
Parnell, mother of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell, We. administrator of the
estate of Charlotte Smith. The facts
upon which the question arose are as
follows: In July, 1876, Charlotte Smith
deposited with Della Parnell $4,53S, to
be devoted, in her discretion, to specu-
lation in stocks for the benefit and risk
of the owner. The money was applied
in accordance to this understanding,
admittedly with good faith, but the
speculations were unsuccessful, and the
money was lost. Mrs. Parnell kept the
fact secret, and attempted to retrieve
the losses by using her own money, re-
mitting over So, 900 to Mrs. Smith, allow
ing her to believe the money was the
proceeds from her own investment.
After the death of Miss Smith, her ad-
ministrator brought suit to recover the
full amount entrusted to Mrs. Parnell
The loss and the remittances stop her
from now showing that fact.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 22.-John
p Clum, United States postoffice in
spector for the lower Rio Grande border,
where he went about two weeks ago to
investigate the charges that had been
perferred by A. j. Evans, United States
district attorney, against Postmaster
Pena, of Rio Grande City, who had been
accused of being sympathizer with the
Cara revolutionary movement, has re-
turned. Inspector Clum states that the
facts, as developed by his investigations,
do not indicate that Postmaster Pena
did in any manner aid, abet or SYM
pathize with the Garza revolution Mr..
Clum states that the situation in that
section is very serious, and that matters
are now in much worse condition on
account of the unwarranted and illegal
action of Capt. John G. Bourke, OF the
Third United States cavalry, than at any
time during the campaign against
Garza's men. He states that there has
been an attempt made by military
officers at oppression in certain civil pro-
ceedings, and that as a sequel one or two
startling developments may be looked
for in few days. s'The people are
afraid,' said he, because they don't
know what is going to happen next. In
my judgment, considerable investiga-
tion is needed in all of the Federal de-
partments along the border

OREGON SENATORS FEELING GOOD.
Mitchelps Bill as an Amendment to the
River and Harbor Bill.
a VERY NARROW VIEW BY SQUIRE.
Vote of the Senate on the BiIIs---Work
Must Be Done Before the Money
is Available.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The senate
today passed, without any debate. ex
cept an argument from Senator FRYE
upon the Columbia river, Senator
Dolph's bill making lump appropria-
tion for the completion of the cascades
improvement. Under the contract sys-
tenn in the river and harbor bill this
will render Senator Dolph's bill inoper-
ative, but there is a possibility that
Senator Mitchell may secure the adop-
ton of his bill as an amendment to the
river and han bor bill in the senate. If
this is done great work will be accom-
plished for the Columbia river. The
votes for these improvements were prac-
tically unanimous, only four being
against one and eight against the other.
The Oregon senators are feeling very
good over the victory. Senator Squire,
although he voted for the bills, seemed
to think that Oregon was getting the
best of it. He said he thought it was
about time Washington should receive
some consideration, as the shore line
along Puget sound and other places were
immensely of more Importance CONNER
cially than the Columbia river. Al
though the Columbia river divided
Washington and Oregon, and even if it
should be opened up so that the wheat
of Eastern Washington could go down
the Columbia river, it would be of some
benefit to the eastern part of the state,
yet 1t was of commercial interest only to
Portland. Dolph's bill appropriating
81, 1886 to secure an early completion
of the canal and locks at the cascades on
the Columbia passed by vote of 46 to
4, Berry, Kyle, Pugh, and Vance con-
stituting the minority. Mitchell's bill,
appropriating $2,s60, 1856 for a railway
and necessary marine apparatus and
appliances at the dalles, Cello falls and
Ten Mile rapids, and the improvement
at Three Mile rapids, passed by vote of

Manly Africans.

New YORK, March 22.--Mrs. NJ. French
Sheldon, the African traveller, delivered
her first lecture in this country last night,
at Chickering hall. She was created by
a notable gathering of members of the
American Geographical society and their
friends, and for two hours led them with
her into the very heart of the dark con-
tinent. She told her audience about her
laborious march from the coast to the
interior, and held them spell-bound
while she described her interview with
the fierce Nasal, or the African bogie
man, and her adventurous descent to
lake Chala, until, with sigh of relief,
they beheld her safely navigating its
waters on the frail pontoon, which had
been brought with the caravan. She
told of her hair breadth 'scapes from
treacherous guides and natives, and on
the other hand her courteous treatment
by the chiefs of various friendly tribes.
The Rombos, in the neighborhood oflake
Chala, who had been considered ex-
tremely ferocious people, she found most
civil and eager to do her homage. Mod
est, said the lecturer, was their only
covering, but their department was SO
manly and their carriage so grand that i
grew to regard their color as abundant
clothing for them in their primitive SIM
plicity. She denies that the natives are
lazy, and says that if they are given the
opportunity they can easily be taught to
weave native cotton. But she also main
tains that the bitter pill of sudden civil
| throats.
