THE GARCIA MARAUDERS.

The President of Mexico demands from
the United States the Surrender OF some
huMdred or more Mexicahs who were ar
rested on this side Of the line for engaging
in The Garcia raid on Mexico. The emand
cannot be granted, simply because the
prisoners have committed an offense against
Anerieaa laws. for: which they must be
tried and, if:found guilty, must be punished
before they can be surrendered to answer
f0rany oGeuses they may have committed
against Mexican sovereignty. They: must
first settle their ACCOUNTS with Us after
that lis done they may be claimed by Mexico
under the new exlraditi0n treaty, If that is
in force. and the Governor of Texas will
sarrender.them. ::
One: OF the difficulties Of policing the

WINE EOR ThE EAsT.

A cargo of California wines worth
100000 has arrived at New York by the
steamer Conemaugh. The voyage has no
doubt improved the quality of the finest as
we'll as the commonest qualities, agitation

Tor shipment round the Horn. Like every
other product that leaves San Francisco for
market East or in Europe wine cannot
support overland rates at all times on the
scale of 'all the traffic will bear" aad
when opportunity offers shippers select the
sea route. When the Nicaragua canal is
open shorter voyage to New York or to
European ports will be found sufficient for
the Improvement of quality. BY that time
we shall have number of railroads. but
the canal will continue the mainstay OF
commerce on this coast, NO matter to what

THE BERINo SEA QUESTION.

The arbitrators appointed under Mr.
Blaine'S treaty with England to frame an
International code for the government of
Berng Sea met few days ago in Paris,
and adjourned to meet again on tho 23d
inst. They number seven all told-two
from the United States. two from Great
Britain, one from France, one from Italy
and one from Sweden Thus far. Germany
is not represented. The American arbitra-
tors are Justice Harlan of the Supreme
Court and Senator Morgan of Alabama.
They are assisted by Blodgett OF Illinois.
Phelps of Vermont and Carter of New
York as counsel. As California is more
+ deeply interested in the seal fishery of the
BerinS Sea than any other State, 1t might
have been well to REINFORCE the array of
counsel with a strong lawyer from this city.
The idea does not seem 10 have occurred to
the President. Perhaps it is not too late.
1t is understood thar the two nations most
directly concerned-the United States and
Great Brltain-Some time ago prepared
their printed cases with the answers there
to, and the evidence in support of each.
Much space in these is occupied by state
ments of the rights which were claimed by
Russia in the Bering Sea, and which passed
to the United States by the treaty of 1867.
1t IS admitted all round that Russia claimed
that the waters of BeriDg Sea, being in
closed on each side by Russian territory.
were territorial waters, and as such, not in.
any sense an open sea, In selling TO the
United States Russia ceded this right among
others, and the United States now holds
this title for all it is worth.
The gist of the pending controversy is
contained in the fifth proposition on which
the arbitrat0rs Will have to rule and which
runs as follows:
.. Has the United States any right, and, II
so, what right OF protection or property In the
fur seals frequenting the Islands of the United
States in Berlng Sea when such seals are found
outside the ordinary lbree-mIle limit?
If the United States has a right to ''pro-
teet' the fur seals when such seals are
found outside the ordinary three-mile limit,
then the fur-seal industry may be<regulated
by the Treasury Department. and its cut
tiers may seize sealers poaching without
license. Ii 1t is decided that the United
States has no such right then. it will de-
volye upon the afbitTatOTs to prevent the
determination OF the fur seal by suggesting
combined action by the powers interested
to regulate the matter
The evidence which mas been taken on
the extent to which poaehing has been car
ried on and on the effects of such poaching
on the annual migration of the seals to the
roOkeries is conflicting; il has left con-
fused impression on the public mind. But
it is certain that the successors of the
Alaska COMMERCIAL Company have not
been able to take the number Of seals they
were permitted to capture under the lease,
and that the price of seaskins has ad-
vanced 60 to 70 per cent in consequence.
IL VIII deyolve on the. arbitrators- to fur
nisb the public with an official opinion on
the cause of the reduced supply; and that
opinion should furnish the basis for any
new treaty that is to be made .-.

but not very large one. We would rather
see manufactures established which would
add ten millions year to our total earn
ings than have an equal amount taken from
the ground. The manufacturing product
would be for all time, but every year tends
to the exhaustiOn Of mine. The fact that
the product of mines is gold is immaterial.
Our wheat and fruit and wines bring gold
to the State. The imports of woolen and
cotton goods, boots, shoes, underwear. cigars
and other things that we might produce
take gold out of the State. California is
under no moral obligation to add to the
worlds stock OF gold. There are hundreds
OF millions worth of idle silver, which un-
der wiser financialpolicy than now exists
would serve the same purpose as gold.
The waterways of the State are worth more
than all the gold that has been taken out of
our mines with that which remains in the
ground thrown in as makewetght. These
waterways will fifty years hence carry the
commerce of the richest and most populous
State in the American Union, and their an
nual earnings will throw into comparative
insignifcance any possible product of our
mines Let mining go on. but let it be sub

A SOUND SUPERVISOR.

Supervisor Dhndon toek the place of a
very good man III the board, but it looks at
the present fine as if the city would not
lose by the change. The vice OF municipal
politics Consists largely in tile fact that
persons doing business with the city have
not performed their contracts the same as
for individual customers. But this is MIR.
Duud0n's first requirement. The city, he
thinks, should be served as faithfully as an
individual, IL Mr.. Dundon can carry these
ideas ont he will do a greatwor for the
city. The service will not be so much in
the amount of money saved as in the fact
that the City Will be kept in good order.
The streets will be cleaned according to
CONTRACT. A fair price will be paid for
supplies and care viii be taken that goods
are Of the quality contracted for. People
whose houses are endangered by neigh
boring fire Will not be exasperated by the
bursting of cheap bose at critical time.
Officials in charge OF public moneys will
hand them over TO the. Treasurer. They
will know that If they do not the guardians
Of the city will hold them to a strict ac-
tifg. Judges win not be allowed to
fool away time while persons charged with
efime langalsh in prison. Civil suits will
be Brought to trial before all tie witnesses
in the case have died. Mr.. Dundon has
suggested big reform, ana if he only half

TIE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

It looks as. though there was not much
chance in the Senate for Shanahan's reso-

The Colusa Sun quotes from THE CALL
that The Caminetti bill was considered
Kind otcompromise between the mining and
farming interests, and in effect denies thai
such compromise was entered into. We

that il the Canlinetti bill had been opposed

and farmers.

AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY.
Funeral of the Late EX-Judge Selden
->: 6, Wright.


Many of the friends and associates of the
late ex-Judge Selden S. Wright attended
his funeral yesterday afternoon at his late
residence, go Lombard street.
Although the family had requested that
flowers be omitted many tokens of remem-
brance in the way of floral pieces were re-
eeiyed from the friends OF the deceased.
There were no church services, as the
family wanted everything conducted as
quietly as possible. a choir from the Bap.
tist church rendered solemn music through
out the ceremony. Rev. DIR. j. Q. a. Henry
OF the Baptist church eulogIZed the life of
the ex-Judge. and spoke of his excellent
qualities and noble deeds for which he was
now to be rewarded. He told of his pro-
fessOnal career since the time of his leav-
ing college, and his associates at the bar,
many Of whom were present.
After hymn by the choir and another
prayer by DIR. Henry the remains were
borne to Laurel Hill Cemetery, where the
burial took place.
The pnllbearers were Ralph c. Harri-
son, Judge James v Coffey, John CARRIER,
W. W. Cope, General Krkham, John Ber-
mingharI, Edward Bosqui, John Mckee,
Mayor L. r. Ellert, T.. j. McCutchen,
