Arrivals of Passengers in the State
Largely IN Excess of Departures
SAN Francisco, Dec. S.-The west
bound overland passenger travel on the
lines of the Southern Pacific Company last
month was much larger than for Novem-
Der of 1892. The figures for the past month
are as follows: Eastward-Fi class,
1,34S; second-class, 1881; total, 3,179.
Westward -First-class, 1898; second
class. 6,468; total, IL, 26i.
For November, 1892, the arrivals at San
Francisco over the same line were 8,977,
and the departures East-bound were
All.
Last month the arrivals were greater
by 2,2S4 and the departures less by 1892
than in November of 1892. The net gain
last month was S,0S2. In November Of
1892 it was but 4,506.
October arrivals this year were 1924,
or 337 less than those of the past month,
though in October many Californians re-
turned from trips to the East and the
Worlds Fair at Chicago.
Local agents for Eastern railroads pre-
dict large travel from the East to San
Francisco Immediately after the Christ
mas holidays. They said that the custom
of most people who visit winter resorts
is to remain at home until the holidays
have passed, aud then travel. They also
say that this winter most of the visitors
to the State from the East will come to
San Francisco first, afterward visiting
Southern California, if they do not return
directly to their homes. Usually the
greater proportion Of tourists go first to
Los Angeles and visit this city on the
homeward journey.

States District Court to-day twenty-five
of the twenty-four persons arrested
Wednesday on the charge of smuggling
Chinese into this country were arraigned
and twenty of them entered a plea of not
guilty. Blum and Jackling pleaded
guilty.
The trial of all the defendants except
Dunbar, was set for December 18th. Dun
bar having been convicted of smuggling
opium will have a separate trial.
Judge Stott, in behalf of James Lotion,
asked that the whites and Chinese have a
separate trial, and Rufus Mallory, repre-
senting the Chinese, was equally anxious
to have his clients tried at different times.
Judge Bellinger, however, thought as
all had been indicted together, they
should be tried at the same time.
The Grand Jury to-day returned an
other indictment against Thomas Jordan,
eX-Captain of Customs Inspectors, and
Herbert Adams, formerly engineer of the
steamer Wilmington, for smuggling
opium.
Major John Wilson of Victoria was also
indicted on ten additional counts.
The Grand Jury also indicted 'No
Shirt" Chief of the Walla Waila Indians,
On the charge Of criminal assault upon
one Adie, a wealthy Indian widow, on
the Umatilla Reservation. mo Shirt
claims it is conspiracy to compel him
to marry the woman.

Mr.. Child's First Cigar.

One of my first recollections of Christ
mas Day is having no sled with which to
enjoy the frost-covered ground, for we
had frost and snow on Christmas when
was boy, and I made up my mind that
before the next Christmas arrived L
should have one, writes George W.Childs
in the LADIES' Home Journal, under the
title MY Christmas as Boy" And [
did, and without any one giving it to me
either, as l both earned and saved the
money with which | bought it.
Christmas presents were always abund-
ant, though of the simplest kinds. The one
which l remember most distinctly was
a package of fire-crackers-more suitable
to independence Day than to Christmas,
perhaps, but was not long in carrying
it to the street and sharing my present
with my boy friends. AS many of these
boys smoked penny cigars we utilized
the spark as flames to explode the crack
ers. When the crackers were exhausted
! bought and smoked my first and last
cigar. Later in the day, as q further
Christmas celebration, l went to mena-
gerie, and while there was taken so vio-
lently i'll that l made up my mind then
that if I reached home alive L would
never again touch tobacco. And / never
have.

They Thought Of 1t.

In Illinois there is an old law on the
statute books to the effect that in criminal
cases the jury is Judge of the law as well
as the facts" Though not often quoted,
once in while a lawyer with desperate
case makes use of it. In this case the
Judge instructed the jury that it was to
Judge of the law as well as the facts, but
added that it was not to judge OF the law
unless 1t was fully satisfied that IL knew
more law than the Judge.
An outrageous verdict was brought in,
contrary to all instructions of the court,
who felt called upon to rebuke the jury.
At last one old farmer arose.
'sJedge." said he, weren't we to jedge
the law as we'll as the facts ?'
Certainly" was the response; but
told you not to Judge the law unless you
were clearly satisfied that you knew the
law better than / did"

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Torrey Bankruptcy Bill Strangled
In the House.

III the tOuSGs
WASHINGTON, Dec S.-The Torrey
bankruptcy bill was strangled unexpect-
edly by the House just as the considering
of the bill under the five-minute rule
was about to begin. Oates. champion of
the measure, had declined to permit the
House to vote on Bailey's substitute pro-
viding simply for voluntary system OF
bankruptcy, whereupon Bland precipi
tated the entire question by moving TO
strike out the enactng clause of The bill.
Vainly the advocates of the measure pro-
tested that it was unfair to reject the bill
before the house had chance to perfect
it by amendment. Their pleadings were
unavailing. The vote was decisive-car-
ried by a majority Of AZ to Ill. Judge
Torrey, author Of the measure, who has
been here ten years promoting the inter-
eSts of the bill, sat disconsolately in the
gallery. The vote was not strict party
one. An analysis shows that 1l5 Demo-
Gratis, Is Republicans and nine PopulistS
voted to strike out the enactiDg clause.
and 64 Republicans and AZ Democrats
voted against it.
When the House convened Kilgore
called up the bill to admit Utah to State
hood, and the Republicans began to fill
buster.
The morning hour expired without ac-
ton on the bill, and the House went into
Committee of the Whole on the bank
ruptcy bill.
Bland moved to strike out the enacting
clause, thus attempting to defeat the bill,
and after an exciting debate the motion
prevailed.
Adjourned till Monday.

close the door of his chicken-house about
dusk last night he saw a big wildcat near

gave chase and caught him by the leg
just as he reached the house, infictiDg an
ugly wound. By persistent efforts and
vigorous kicking he managed to free
himself from the ferocious animal, which
then ran at Hamjlton's little son, about 5
years old, who was standing near. but his
father headed it off before it reached the
boy. Seeing a Maltese kitten in the
kitchen the wildcat sprang at it, and
crushing it to death between its strong
Jaws began to devour it on the spot.
Hamilton closed the door, entrapping the
wildcat in the kitchen, and then entering
another part of the house secured his
gun and shot the cat while still eating Its
supper The animal was evidently in a
famished condition, or it would not have
made its bold attack.
