THE Democratic county central COM
mittee requested the board of super
visors to allow representatives of the
Democracy hearing at the meeting Of
the board which should redistrict the
supervisoral districts. The request was
complied with, but the date for hearing
was fixed for May the 10th-the date of
the assembling of the Democratic county
convention. On being advised of this
coincidence the members of the Demo.
cratic county convention, the Messrs.
S. M. White, George S. Patton and
George Kinds, represented that the date
appointed-.May 10th was that as
signed for the Democratic county con-
yention. and they would be unable to
attend. The retort courteous of the
board of supervisors was that they
didn't care whether these gentlemen
conld attend or no. This was certainly
something quite out Of the common in
the line OF partizan brusqueness. 1t
was not only rude but outrageous.

TIE reduction in running time of fruit
trains proposed by the railroads between
California and the Atlantic ports will
enable our fruit growers to include Great
Britain as a possible market for their
products. If carefully timed, fruit train
arriving in New York in seven days
would make close connection with some
of the fast Atlantic steamers and the
fruit would be landed in London in seven
more days. California oranges would
stand this voyage admirably, and most
of our deciduous fruits, if properly and
carefully packed, would arrive in the
English market in fine condition. If the
railroad companies will expedite fruit
trains according to promise there will be
no difficulty in supplying the English
demand for fresh fruit from California.

MCDONALD FOUND GULL LTY.

Brilliant Arguments Made by Callen and
McLachlan Before Judge Mckinley.
The courtroom of Judge Mckinley g
branch of the superior court yesterday
was crowded with spectators during the
closing scenes of the trial of A. E. Nc
Donald, who was charged with stealing
the sacred vessels from st. Vibiana's 8
cathedral.
An elaborate and eloquent argument
was made for the defense by Attorney
James Callen, one of the best attorneys
of San Diego, and he was followed by
District Attorney McLachlan, who, in a
clinching way, presented the case of the
prosecution, arraying the strong ensem-
BILE of cold facts which were presented
during the trial.
The case was submitted to the jury
shortly after the noon hour, and they
returned verdict of guilty.

dino demanding the free coinage OF sill
yer. 1t was promptly voted down. The
Democratic convention which met yes
terday passed similar resolution by
unanimous vote. When we consider
that San Bernardino possesses some OF
the richest silver mining districts on
the Pacific coast, the action of the Re-
publican convention can only be ex-
planned on the principle that Republi-
cans are more concerned in the success
of Harrison than they are in advancing
the interests of the people. That Dele

AN INSTANCE of the inverted way to
treat our streets is glaringly apparent in
Eleventh street, west of Grand avenue.
That street was graded, graveled and
rolled into fine thoroughfare few
weeks ago. Now it is dug up for the pur-
pose Of laying down gas mains that should
have been put In before the street was
improved. 1t goes without saying that
the symmetry of the surface cannot be
restored, and that soft spot and a
blemish will mark it all alongth line

this coast we have had this people in
our midst in great numbers fol-
forty years. We ought, therefore.
to know something as to their
desirability. The universal verdict
of all classes of Americans in western
cities where the Chinese have settled
has been positively sgainst extending
the hospitalities of our country to them ;
and the people OF eastern cities are be-
ginning to see that the Chinese are a
very Objectionable population. They
are Just commencing to learn what we
have known and felt for nearly half a
century about these people--that they are
a dangerous and disturbing element in
community,-that they subvert the
laws by organized and secret associa-
tion,-that they carry on system of
the most loathsome kind of slavery in
our midst, which the laws are unable to
reach and the authorities incapable of
breaking up,-that they maintain an
imperium in imperio in this country
which governs the Chinese with an iron
rule, and which is implicitly obeyed
by them. But the worst and most
dangerous feature of the domiciliation
of the Chinese in this country is seen
in the introduction of new vices which
have spread amongst our youth and de-
moralized great percentage of the
rising generation.
The right to exclude these people is
recognized by treaty between the United
States and China. That right, however,
would be a hollow mockery if it did not
carry with it the right to provide the
necessary legal machinery to make ex-
clusion effective. The law as now
amended will enable US to attain this
object, result that has never been
even partially reached by the law as it
was.

THE advent of Rev. B. Fay Mills in
Los angeles has effected quite wide
spread religious revival amongst our
people. The attendance at his meetings
has been dense and overlooking, and
the effect of his discourses has been to
draw many worldly people to
serious contemplation of their spiritual
condition. The secret of Mr.. Mills's
power is in the intense earnestness he
manifestly ieels in his work, in the sim.
piicity but appositeness OF his language,
and in the deep sympathy which ami
mates his whole manner OF dealing
with the erriDg sinners he calls to the
iold. He is the very antithesis of the
Sam Jones school of exhorters. Instead
OF pouring out walls of wrath and coarse
abuse against the unrighteous, he
captures the hearts of his auditors by
his gentleness, by the tender love he
evinces for his fellows, and by treating
them as thinking and feeling beings,
instead of mere brutes, to be driven to
repentance by the lash of a sharp and
bitter tongue. Where Sam Jones would
make one doubtful convert by his bully
ing tactics, Mr.. Mills would draw to
himself a hundred sinners, whose inner
conscience had been touched by his
soft, gentle and seductive methods. He
is type of the finest order of spiritual
mentality, following in his manner and
in his mode OF softening obdurate
hearts, the teachings of the Master.
We believe that great good will be
effected in this city by the deep, re-

add that he and his colleagues found
none of that spirit in their interviews

the temporary absence of the family

He testified that Mrs. Blaine suffered q
miscarriage, which witness believed was

assumed charge of the case.
This afternoon Mrs. Blaine was on
the stand. She reCited the story of her
marriage, which was fastened because
her husband did not want her to 90 on

Three Children Burned to Death-Es-

IRONWOOH, Mich, Feb. 20.--One Of
the most appalling catastrophies in the
history of this city occurred last night.
The store building occupied on the first
floor by Charles Bedard, as saloon
Charles Delongcamp's wife and six
children residing in the second story,
was burned to the ground. Albert,
Marie and Charles, aged Z, 5 and
2 years respectively, children Of De-
longcamps, were burned to death. The
mother, with a two-Weeks-old babe In
her arms and two older children, were
rescued with great difficulty.
The fire, which originated in the
the kitchen, was caused by an explo-
sion Of g kerosene lamp. 1t spread like
a flash through the building and the
terrified children rushed in all direc-
tons. When taken from the burning
building and questioned as to where
the children were likely to be found,
the frantic mother could give no clue,
as she had become separated from
them in the dense smoke.
The tiremen and citizens fought the
fire with renewed energy, but it was of
nc avail, and it soon became apparent
that the little ones were doomed. The
bodies of the children were taken from
the ruins, two being found close togeth
er, about ten feet from the front of the
building. The third was thirty feet
away, in another portion OF the house.
