WHY is it that the steel-blue ladybug
is looked upon with 80 much suspicion
by many OF our local entomologista? If
it is not on account OF personal feeling
against Mr.. Koebele, who sent the para
site to this state, what is it? Mr.. Koe-
belle expressly said that the orcus was
slow breeder, and that it would.probably
be five years before he would have prop.
agated sufficiently to make his work
noticeable in clearing our trees OF the
red scale. 1t is only little more than
a year since very small invoice Of the
parasites was received here. and that,
too, in poor condition. They were set
out in the Kercheval place, and it was
generally supposed they had died out.
But now we know that they have
thriven and have made their appearance
in large numbers in the Kercheval
trees. One month ago there were no
signs that the parasite was coming out !;
now he is coming out in large force, and
because he has not already destroyed all
the red scale in sight, that is taken as a
HlPnlQCaQb luQlChtlOu vi ain lAoulCicuCy.
This is only the beginning of his second
year here, and the stock set out,
small as it was, has greatly null
tiplied. Even the particular lemon tree
where they swarm the most, and which
was covered with red scale. is now de-
clared to be much cleaner than it was q
month ago. This shows that the orcue
ia at least doing some of the work that
was expected of him. The progress he
has made in one year justifes the pre-
diction that by the time he has multi
piled for FIVE years be will be numerous
enough to be spread all ever the affected
trees in the orange belt. For our part,
we feel very much encouraged, and shall
not be astonished if the importation ot
the orcus chalybeus should prove as
great boon to the citrus horticulturistt
as the vedalia cardinals did. He has
successfully passed the crucial period O.
his fret year of domestication. and ex
hibited good breeding powers. and thai
is very important point gained.

The steamer Haytian Republic at

THE steamer Haytian Republic at
tempted to smuggle load of contraband
Chinese and opium into the country.
The Federal authorities at Portland took
steps to prevent the landing of the Chi
nese and to arrest the men engaged in
violating the revenue laws. The Chinese,
having been refused landing, were kept
on board the ship. Now the vessel has
been ibeled by the United States gov
ernment for $72, 900 and her officers ar.
rested. A knotty question has been
raised as to how the Chinese on board
are to be fed. The authorities have
charge of the vessel, and she will proba-
bly, be condemned, so that there is no
object left in anyone having a claim on
the vessel to supply the Chinese with
food. The matter has been laid before
the government, but the authorities say
that the law is explicit that Chinese re.
fused entry must be cared for and re-
turned to China by the vessel on which
they came. But there is no object
in the owners OF the vessel to
maintain the Chinese, as the vessel is
not in their possession and has been
libelled for all she is worth. The treas
ury department will not, of course,
leave the contrabands to starve. They
will be fed, but the government will
studiously ignore any obligation on its
part to maintain them. Here is a pretty
how dye do. The government libels
the ship for smuggling opium. The ship
is thrown on the hands Of the govern
ment to satisfy its libel claim. In the
meantime it's human cargo has been re-
fused landing because it came here in
violation of our exclusion laws. The
owners of the vessel abandon the vessel
and all responsibility in her, and the
government is powerless under the law
to take the Chinese ashore since they
have been ordered to be returned in the
ship that brought them. If the vessel
is declared forfeited to the government
how will it get around its own order to
return it to China with it's living freight
The lawyers are in a quandary, but in
the meantime there is no danger OF the
coolies starving.

were surprised at the ease with which
Mr.. Huntington unhorsed Mr.. Stanford
in the contest for the control OF the
Southern Pacific railway. and thereby
hangs q most interesting tale. When
the several corporations that were
wrapped up in the Central and South
ern Pacific railways were consolidated in
the Southern Pacific of Kentucky, the
Messrs. Stanford, Huntington, Hopkins
and Crocker owned an equal interest
in them. When that corporation was
formed. however, it is said that Especial
parcel OF stock was issued, for the pur-
pose OF looking to eventuslities. 1t was
not large, but It's possession in one block
meant, under the peculiar circumstances
that then existed, the control Of the cor
poration. Those who are best informed
say that within . week Mr.. Huntington
had acquired most of this stock by pur-
chase, and that he was enabled to pre-
sent very bewildering combination to
Senator Stanford at critical moment.
The cause which led to the estrange-
ment of Huntington and Stanford we
scarcely regard as within the purview Of
newspaper discussion. 1t is generally
understood, however, that it was of
family character. Precisely who will be
Mrs. Stanford's trusted adviser in mat
ters relating to her railway interests is
not authoritatively known, but in we'll
informed circles Mr.. Stephen J. Gage is
thought to be the man. The outlook for
harmony in the future operations Of
this powerful corporation is said to be
good. Any forecast of its governing
spirits in the coming years would be
sadly at fault which should ignore Col.
Fred Crocker and Mr.. H. E. Huntington.
The business qualifications OF both are
superlatively good.

In every trial for crime? 1t is so easy to
get one man on a jury who is there for
the purpose Of hanging it, rather than
the man on trial. that conviction is
almost impossible, even in the clearest
'casee, where the accused has means and

in criminal trials. Counties are placed

A. johnson was the victim last night
OF brutal assault, in consequence Of
which he is at present an inmate Of the
receiving hospital. johnson and q COM
ion manned Alexander were drinking in
Nieffs' ealoon on Main street. near First,
about 10 O'Clock last night, when they
were interrupted by a plasterer, who
gave his name at the police station later
as Bernard Redican. Redican, 1t 10 al

that he wore Grand Army OF the Re-
public button began abusing him. say
ing that the - - old soldiers wanted to
run the country.
Seeing he was drunk the two men
took no notice Of him and shortly after
wards left the saloon. They stopped to
talk on the sidewalk and Redican again
came up and repeated his abuse. john
son and Alexander turned to get away
from him, and Redican struck johnson
a terrible blow on the forehead with .
pair OF brass "knuckledu which
he wore on his fist. johnson fell and
bis assailan. escaped.
His victim was taken in q senseless
condition to the receiving hospital,
whore DR.. Ainsworth pronounced his
wound dangerous but not fatal.
Later on Redicsn was arrested by
Officer Tyler and identified by several
parties.
On further investigation IL appears
that johnson and Alexander were quar-
reling when they emerged from the
saloon The assailant, whose real name
is O'Laddigan. took advantage of the
dispute to strike johnson, with whom
he has grudge OF long standing.
The scene OF the assault, on MNin
street, resembled slaughter house, the
blood flowing in streams across the road.
DR.. Ainsworth, who attended johnson,
declares he had narrow escape from
death, the skull barely escaping frac-
ture.
A charge of assault with q deadly
weapon will be made against O'Laddi-

Council for De Lesseps Summs up His
Case.
Paris, March 16.-Barboux, counsel for
Charles de Lesseps, summed up for his
client in the Panama trial today. He
spoke at great length, always earnestly
and often eloquently. At the beginning
of the trial he said his case was so
strong that he was willing to try 1t be-
fore a jury of the stockholders, and to-
day he again expressed his conviction
that he could secure de Lesseps' ac-
quittal.
why had de Lesseps been selected
to bear the brunt of the charges of bri-
berry when others known to be guilty
had. been untouched. Charges fully as
serious as those against de Lesseps
were made against a dozen other men,
but they were ignored or permitted to
escape. The prosecution was bound to
produce in court testimony connected
with the so-called bribe glvers and
bribe takers, thissit utterly failed to do.

The Northwest Will Be a Good Gus

Honolulu, March 9-Referring to the
statement made by Representative
Geary, of California, at Washington on
February 21, in which he mentioned
the fact that new steamer line was
to be inaugurated between the Islands
and Puget Sound, the Associated Press
correspondent, in a conversation with
George Lycurgus, the protector of the
new line, and who Is largely interested
in the expectation of fruit, and the inn
portation of wines and liquors to the
islands, ascertained that the new line
would be started as soon as the Fam
besi which is the first of the new COM
panys steamers, could be got ready
The Zambesi went ashore at Yokohama
last December, and is now being re-
paired there. 1t is expected that she
will be ready in about two months.
AS to Mr.. Geary's objections that
the new line would injure the Califor-
MIA trade, Lycurgus said:
I'VE can export more fruit to Puget
Sound than California is able to ham
die. California has its own fresh fruits
and will not pay the prices for island
products which we can secure at Port
land. From San Francisco to Portland
the steamer rate is about sixty cents
per hundred pounds on all fruit. The
rate is about the same from the islands
to San Francisco, whereas we can ship
direct to Portland for about one-half of
what we pay via San Francisco. We
can bring down coal from the Seattle
mines for about IS per ton, whereas,
coal from Australia costs us from $3.50
to So per ton. We are obliged to go to
the northwest for some of the products
which we need.
