Sugar for Vancouver,

Inere are now two vessels on the way
TO British Columbia laden with sugar for
the British Colum bia Sugar Refining Com
pany of Vancouver. B. c. There were
three until a few days ago. when the
British ship MOrayshire. Captain Swinton,
which left Samarang 229 days ago. was
taken from the list. as she has not been
heard of since leaving, and is no doubt
lost. Captain Swinton of the Morayshire
was quite young man and was son of
Captain Swinton of the British shin
Golden Gate, which was noted for the
quick passages she made TO this port in
the seventies. The nou-arrival Of the
Morayshire has caused the refinery in
Vancouver to run short on sugar, and on
Monday 100000 pounds of raw sugar was
sent up there from here on the steamer
City OF Puebla.

BROKEN PROMISES.
Judge Campbeli's Leniency to the
Migrants Has No Effect.

There is a wine-cellar on the corner of
Jackson street and Montgomery avenue
which is favOrite resort for tramps. Two
nights ago Officer Gibson arrested Tim Me
Cannon, Sidney Clark and Thomas Young
in the cellar and locked them up on a
charge of vagrancy. Yesterday morning
they were brought before Judge Campbell.
McCannon was the first to stand up and
he pleaded earnestly to be let off.
Where will you 90 to?" asked the
Judge.
''To Oakland" said McCannon. "where
1 belong and I'll never come TO this city
again. III leave within an hour"
Upon this promise he was allowed to go.
Clark stood up and also prayed for
lenienry. He was stopecutter and had
been offered job on the railway.
'Pll leave town within an hour" he
said. ''and never come back again.
IF you have no money, how can you
get out of town?" asked the Judge.
''Pll walk" replied Clark.
He admitted having served two terms
in the House OF Correction, and had only
got out three or four days ago. He was
granted the same privilege as McCannon.
Young was asked what he would do if
he got off. and he replied in j0cular way,
"Ill leave by the same train as Clark
He said he was a laborer and had never
been arrested before, but he told such a
palpable lie as to how he reached the city
that the Judge gave him sixty days in Jail.
Notwithstanding the protestations and
promises of McCannon and Clark the
Judga Instructed Officer Gibson to keep
lookout for them, an1 if they failed to
leave the city to rsarrest them. The officer
found them III their usual haunts about 4
O'clock yesterday afternoon and locked
them up in the City Prison. a term in
Jail surely awaits them.

STILL IN OFFICE.
License Collector Lee Nav
Last His Term.
His Demurrer to the Charges Against
Him VIII Not Be Passed Upon
for Two Weeks.

License Collector Lee will stand a fair
show of walking out of Office before the
charges made recently against him have
been investigated and passed upon. His
term OF Office will expire en- July /, and
the day appointed for the hearing of the
case is June 90.
Yesterday was the first day set by
Judge CARRIER for the investigation of GER
tain charges contained in an Indictment
filed by the Grand Jury last week. These
were to the effect that Lee had collected
from twelve of his deputies S25 month
apiece for four months, January, Febru-
airy, March and April of the present year.
In consideration of which he was so good
as to allow them to retain their situations
This being a misdemeanor offpnse under
that section of the Penal Code which
refers to eXtortion by public officer, the
Grand Jury formally indicted him. But
although misdemeanor there is no
criminal penalty attached. and the utmost
harm that can befall Lee will be dismissal
from Office.
But few interested parties attended in
Judge Garbrr's court yesterday, as it was
given out that Lee had filed a demurrer to
the charge. District Attorney Barnes for
the prosecution and Attorney Richardson
for the defense attended to argue the de-
murrer, but Judge CARRIER said he would
prefer not to pass upon 1t then and there,
and would in fact prefer not to hear the
case. Could not the attorneys make ar
raugements with Judge Slack, who would
be still holding court after the 18TH inst?
Barnes and Richardson agreed TO go and
see Judge Slack and return with his
answer. When they came back they re-
ported that Judge Slack was overwhelmed
with engagements and could not possibly
take the case. Both sides demanded a
speedy hearing, and it remained therefore
for Judge CARRIER to decide what was TO be
done with the demurrer
Finally An arrangement was come to
whereby Judge CARRIER agreed to set June
90 as the day for hearing, and by consent
of both parties the demurrer will be heard
and passed upon on that date. Both sides
have waived a jury, and have agreed that
the trial shall proceed the instant that the
demurrer is overrued, the defendant
promising to have his answer ready at that
time.
1t seems very probable that Lees de-
murrsr was put in to gain time, as should
the case not be settled by June 30 1t will
be very little use hearing the charges, as
there would be poor satisfaction in turn
But District Attorney Barnes says he is
determined to bring the case to a conclu-
sion before then.
Defendant Lee ran for County Clerk on
the Republican ticket at the last lection,
and there are people unkind enough to say
that the assessments he levied on his depu-
ties were intended to reimburse him for
the money his unsuccessful canddature
cost him.

INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.
They Might Make Good Ones Under Fa-
 vorabIe Conditions.

The experiment initiated by ex-Sec- retary Proctor of assisting in the civ ilizat;on of the Indians by their enlist ment in the army has had Q two years trial and has failed, says the Washing ton Star. In it's inception it was hoped that the movement would receive the sanction and support of congress, but the hope has not been fulfilled. The policy has not been abandoned by the department, nOtWithStanding the ab- sence of congressional encouragement, but is slowly dying of hamilton, owing to the fact that the Indians who took advantage of the opportunity of enter ing the army are leaving it at the ex- piration of their terms of enlistment. and there are no new enlistments Many of the Indians took advantage of the law permitting them to purchase their discharge.
 There were about seven hundred h. dians in the army, and this number has been reduced by ne disbandment of two Indian troops, one at Fort Walla Walla and the other at Fort Reno, which had dwindled to less than INGuly HIGH Sicu. 1EcrS are aDOuU fourteen Indian companies, averaging fifty men each, still in the service, and they may be so reduced by natural causes as to require further consoida- tion.
 An officer of high rank says these companies will certainly not be mus tered out, and that the department will do nOthiOU tO diScOT1.a cra f,1r+I,a enlistment. It was settled, however that the experiment as at present con- ducted is a failure and that the only possible solution of the Indian soldier problem is their organization into an auxiliary branch of the army, modelled after the system employed by the Brit ish army in the matter of the native troops of India. It is clear, he said, that the Indian soldier, so far as mili- tary discipline is concerned, will have to be placed on Q different plane from the white soldier.

THE FoRERuNNER OF DISASTER.
Peculiar Growth Known as the "DeviI
 Plant" in Mississippi.

Plant in Mississippi.
 There has recently appeared in this vicinity, says a Carthage (Miss.) cor respondent of the Philadelphia Times, a most peculiar growth known as the ''devil plant" which is so deadly as to render all insect life and vegetation in its neighbOrlood lifeless. It is most innocent in appearance, being of ten der green, clinging close to the earth, and sprinkled with small red blossoms. cup-shaped, and holding in their hearts a single drop of moisture. It is in this singular dew, which the sun has no power to dispel, that the plants most blighting influence is said to lie. Bees by the hundreds have been found dead in the blossoms. Indeed, the hives of the neighborhood are nearly depopulated by the noxious flowers. 4 gentleman who is noted as botanist in these parts tasted this dew and declared that it was of a siczening sweetness, without odor and viscid like liquid gum. It was allowed to dwell on his tongue. which soon began to burn i'm so as to raise a blister, and the member swelled up and became discolored and exceedingly painful.
 The bees have not been the only sui ferers by this growth, but every insect approaching it seems to become par alyZed, and after a beat or two of the wings above this creeping upas drops dying among it's cruel leaves. Cattle which have eaten of it die in few hours in the greatest agony with sort of exaggerated tetanus, the skin drawn tense and the eyes protruding. from the head. All ordinary remedies fail to restore one in these attacks. Veg citation also seems to shun the ''devil plant" and whole tracts of meadow are now lying scorched and dead from the insidiOus approach Of this unknown growth. Under the microscope the leaves exhibit innumerable little mouths or suckers, of such tenacity as to sting the hand on which the leaf is laid, leaving a dull, red mark like the wound of scorpion. The people of the vicinity say this plant is the forerunner of disaster, 1t having made previous appearances just before the
 
 sion of the coming of yellow fever
 An effort has been made to burn it out, but, protected by it's singular dew, this has failed. The dead bodies of cattle which have died of eating it on being examined show that the digest i've organs are swollen to four times their natural size and look as if they had been burned; the heart is con- gested, and the blood of dark, un- usual tinge, with an odor like benzoin The plant is of rapid growth, covering acres in a few days, requiring little hold, and going over every obstacle in its way, the roots being of thread-lilze fineness and extending only an inch or two below the surface of the ground but exhibiting extraordinary tenacity once they have seized hold of a spot, enwrapping pebbles, old roots, etc., like clinging fingers.

A Chinese Bill of Fare.

Here is the bill of fare for banquet lately given to the foreign diplomats at Peking: The first course consisted of four classic dishes. First came swallow nests with pigeon eggs, shark fins with crabs, dogfish with wild duck, duck and eauliflower; next came deli cacies served in cups-swallow nests, shark fins, plain morris, vegetables, mushrooms, with duck feet, fried part ridge, pigeon in slices; then there ap- peared four middle dishes-ham in honey, puree in peas, vegetables and dogfsh; four side dishes-haricot cheese with bamboo buds la kind of asparagus), roots of bamboo, chicken, shellfsh; four hors d'oevres-ham and chicken, fish and gizzard, pork tripe and vermicelli, duck and pork outlets. Each guest had before him plates of almonds, pistachio paste, pears and oranges. The meats were roast suck ing pig, roast duck. boiled chicken, boiled pork. There was a profusion of European and Chinese wines.
