CHICAGO. April 17.-Congressman Ma
guire of San Francisco is at the Grand
Pacific on his way home from Washington.
where he has been aiding the office-seekers
of the Pacific Slope. San Francisco has
not had her share OF positions" he said in
response to a query. "My opinion is that
all consularships in ports from (which most
of the import trade of San Francisco is
shipped. should be filed by men who under
stand the requirements of the office. For
Instance. what does a farmer from South
Dakota know about the duties of consuPs

is built up by her International commerce
and her growth is, also, the growth Of the

Talking about the Hawaiian question, he
said: L have never seen sound business
argument advanced in favor of annexation.
The whole cry seems to be based on senti-
ment, which. if yielded to, would entail a
constant outlay that the nation could and
should expend in other directions. The
Islands are entirely dependent ON the sugar
industry, and under American rule our
laborers could not compete with labor there

annexation Is the undesirable class of i'm
migrants it would draw here. There are

FIGHT TO A FINISH.
The Struggle to Get Possession of an
Albany Paper.


ALBANY, n. Y, April 1.-THE Police are
guarding the Office of the Albany Argus.
and before taking possession they threw
out w. McMurtie Speer and Mr. Montgom-
cry Cutler, who had attempted to assume
the management of the paper for the Hill
democracy syndicate that claims TO have
control of thirty of the fifty shares of stock.
A dozen men who had been placed in the
business Office to hold the fort for Mr..
Speer were also elected. Mayor Manning
led the police in person.
The annual election of the company was
to have been held tomorrow, but the Hill
men did not wait for that. To-day they
held meeting, deposed Mayor Manning
and Mr.. Chamberlain as manager and editor
respectively. and elected W. Ii. johnson
apd hir. Speer to the places.
They did this with the idea that thirty of
fifty shares of stock was q majority. When
the work of the paper was about to begin
tonight Mr.. Speer put Mr. Cutler in
charge of the editorial rooms and settled his
men in the office in command of one James
Cuddy. The astonished night editor notified
Mayor Manning, who rushed off to his
lawyers and was told 10 regain possession
of the paper by force. He accordingly
called on the Chief OF Police for assistance
and squad was detailed TO his aid.
The locked doors were broken down, the
IDETuueIo Ou5leu WITHOUT ceremony or argu-
ment and the police ordered to stay there
until the Mayor no longer required their
services.
Mr.. Manning says the action of the new
syndicate is Illegal and that he will not give
up the Argus until forced by law. Mt.
Speer says his friends hold the KEY to the
situation and the courts will give them their
rights. The police say nothing, but smile as
If they enjoy the fun.
Meanwhile the Cleveland party is in pos
session, and, except for the employees under
that regime, no one is admitted TO the build

1T SUITS GRESHAM.
Our Treaty Is to His
Liking.
ECUADOR HAS BEEN KIND.
But a Story Comes From Paris That
No Treaty of the Sort Is
Pending.
Special to THE MORNING CABL.

WAsHING GToN, April 1.-THE acquisition
of site for eoalng station in the Gala
paeos group of islands has long been an
object much desired by naval authorities,
and there was consequently great deal of
satisfaction over the news that Ecuador had
conceded one of these islands to the United
States for this purpose, and that all that is
required to give us the territory is a ratifi-
cation of the treaty by this country. The
treaty was negotiated by Minister Il. D..
Mahoney. 1t was signed on March 2 last
and received by Secretary Gresham last
week. That official is evidently pleased
with its terms, for on the day of Its receipt
he sent a telegram of cOngratulation to Mr..
MahOney. The full terms of the treaty have
not yet become public, but it is said that
little ii any financial consideration is in
yolyed, and that the concession was made
largely on account of the friendly feeling
entertained for this country and with q
view. it is thought, of encouraging our
moral support in case she should need it.
Neither is it definitely known which island
of the group has been conceded, but it is
merely understood to be Chatham Island,
which is the only one inhabited, ana which
American naval officers consider the most
available for a coaliDg station.
In the opinion of the naval authorities
the possession of coaling station in the
Galapagos is next in Importance from a
strategic standpoint to a similar possession
in Hawaii. With the Nicaraguan canal
completed, it will become donbly important
and an absol ute necessity if the United
States expects to protect her interests in
the Pacific. This necessity for foOthold
in these islands became slrlkingly apparent
dnriDg the Chilean trouble. Naval authOri-
ties then were generally agreed that these
were the only islands from which waTships
could be laden with coal, and indeed went
so far as to arrange with Ecuador for the
right to use them. That was the beginning
OF the negotiations.
Mr. MahOney is well known here and in
New York State, his home. he is very
young man and was sort Of protege of
James G. Blaine, who had him appointed
to his present position.

DIVES TWENTY-FIVE FEET.
The Terrific Header Now Being Taken
by a Performer in London.


London's latest thrill is derived from the
feat of man who dives down inety-fve
feet from the roof OF the Westminster
Aquarium into a narrow and comparatively
shallow tank Of water set in the floor of the
building.
The exploit calls for an astounding com
bination of nerve and skill, and is far more
noteworthy than any of the bridge jumping
acts which have been so tiresomely frequent
of late years. The diver is Thomas Burns,
who has acquired considerable notoriety
as diver from bridges ana as an expert
swimmer, and not q little fame from
his having saved no fewer than thirty
Two lives during his career. He is n

a hundred feet high into rivers. but his dive
at the aquarium is very different affair

among the girdeTs OF the reof, 95 feet above
the floor. and sees below him, instead OF q
broad, deep river, n mass Of flaring be-
wlldeTtng lights, sea OF upturned faces
and in the wooden floor of the stage what
seems from that height to be a mere slot
the tank which he must surely land in
The tank Is eighteen feet long, eight feet
wide and seven feet deep. The diver
actually dives, takes q header and does not
drop feet foremost after the manner of the
Jumpers. The marvellous precision
required to land in the tank is easily ap-
preciable, as is also the fate that would
befa!i him should he miss his mark
Burns is hOlsted up to his aerial perch by
means Of rope and pulley. The spectators
can barely discern him through the distance
Of perpendicular space. They see him peer
over the platform edge, then they see his
toes project over; he crouches down. and
then he glides off the platform head fore
most and comes plunging down with stif1y
outstretched arms, and hands meeting in
front of him in regular header" fashion,

lore the mnrmur OF excitement and for-
ror that is the usual accompaniment
to the dive has voiced itself he
strikes the water with his shoulders and
back with prodigious thud. He eskims lust
under the surface of the water, seeming
barely to enter it, and comes up face up
ward. He scarcely breathes hard after the
tremendous exploit. and goes off imme-
dIately TO give an exhibition of fancy SWIM
ming in another part of the building. The
wonderful skill, the superb pluck and the
unmista&able element Of danger involved
In the feat, together with the not remote
prospect of a horrible catastrophe, bring

RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
Decision Affecting the
Santa Ana.
THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE.
San Bernardino Attorneys Imagine
They Have Found a Fatal De-
feet in the Bill.
Special to The MORNING CALI

SAN BERNARDINo, April II. - Judge
Campbell of the Superior Court handed
down al important decision to-day in the
case of the Riverside Water Company
against r. Il. Sargent and others. The ac-
tion was brought by the plaintiff to restrain
the defendants from diver,ing water from
the Santa Ana River, about three miles
above plaintiffs headgate, the rights of both
parties being based upon appropriation,
The opinion states:
Plaintiff claims that it is entitled TO di-
vert all the water OF the Santa Ana River
that runs in it during the irrigating season
as against any right of the defendants. The
matter for consideration is have the de-
PENDANTS shown prior right to the plain
tiff ! think that the evidence unouestion-
ably shows that they have. The only ques-
tion then for determination is as to the ex-
tent Of that right"
After elaborate discussion of this point
the following decree was rendered: II
therefore conclude that the only satisfactory
decree that can be entered in this case to
protect the defendants without speculating
upon their rights IS to award them the right
to continue to divert the use of all the waters
OF the Santa Ana River during the irrigating
season, from April Is to September Is of
each and every year, that may flow down 10
their point of diversion, the same to be
diverted in the manner it has usually been
diverted, and that the injunction be DIS
solved and all the defendants recover their
costs aud the plaintiffs take nothing"
The case is one that has been pending be-
fore the courts many months. Eminent
counsel were retained and scores of wit
nesses subpenaed on both sides.

HARMCNIES IN COLOR.
Where People of Fashion Might Get
Some Useful Hints.
New York Herald.

Some foreign writer's on matters of art
insist that Americans have no idea of har-
mony in color and are almost lacking in
artistic appreciation of color effects. The
explanation is that we are too busy TO settle
down selecting exact and harmonious
shades, and that in matters of dress we
simply duplicate the cOors worn in Paris
regardless of their suitability to our Ameri-
can atmosphere.
The ability to select harmonious shades
with an unerring instinct for proper effect
is largely a matter of temperament, affected
more or less by climatic influences. Take
the people in semi-tropical regions. The
most fastidiops artists have no fault to find
with the color relation between apparel and
background. 1t II said for instance that
no two Moors will walk together on the
street il the colOrs of their robes are in
harm onious for the Moor has an instructive
sense OF color. The tint in the gown of the
merchant are in perfect harmony with the
prevailing tones of his wares. An Amer-
can would probably think he was straining
point II he took time to regulate the color
of his attire by the prevailing tones in his
Office or OF the street In which he walks.
The fact is the Oriental does not take time
either 10 cultivate taste for artistic effects
or to put in practice prescribed rules for
color effects. With him it is a matter of
temperament. lie c0l0rS OF the Scotch
tartan. while very effective in the soft misty
atmosphere of Scotland, look crude ana are
consequently out of place in the clear air of
France or Italy. In this country there is
an epidemic of color riots. At least an
estheuc foreigner pronounces this lack of
harmony in color disease. Take, for ex-
ample, a combination which is very stylish
at present. that OF a clear decided blue and
green-nnt q transparent shade but a green
that is glaringly bright. There is absolutely
no excuse for such combination. but it is
one of the caprices Of fashion, and fashion
too often, rather than taste or reason,
sways most OF US.
