parties. He gave few particulars be-
yond those already published, except
that the robbing of the stage was first
urged upon him bya party In San Joa-

q full breast of the affair, saying he
could not call to mind all the facts, but
would tell more another time when
he would be able to remember
them. He complained that his mind
WAS confused and he spoke in o halting

that he was telling the truth. Evans is
regarded as merely tool, moved to the

The City Banks failure is more mall
odorous the more it is probed, but the
fact that there is rottenness about it
does not make it right for any clique to
use newspaper to destroy what little
hopes the depositors have of receiving a
dividend. With good management OF
the assets the creditors should be as
Bured OF at least fifty per cent OF their
claims, and the suits against the stock
holders should result in at least $780, 900
more for their benefit. There is, how
ever, one course the claimants should
pursue, and that is to place their affairs
in the hands of an assignee. A receiver
is paid by time and an assignee by a
commission on what he collects. The
deduction is plain.

Mr.. FRED G. SMITH of Adelaide, Aus.
tralia, is in the city. He has been
studying our horticultural methods, and
in an interesting interview printed else
where, states that the government OF
the Cape Of Good Hope. Africa, had sent
commissioners here to secure colonies oi
the vedalia cardinals, and that in q
short time that enterprising bug had ex.
terminated the white scale bug in the
orchards Of that country. And yet
some people blinded by fumigation
smoke and personal jealousy had the
audacity to decry Prof. Koebele and con-
denim the orcus chalybeus before it had
a chance to show what it could do. The
orchardists of Southern California
should promptly squelch all such back
biting good-for-noshings.

ATTORNEY ]. 6. JONES yesterday at
ternoon did good piece of work when
he filed civil complaint against the
directors of the defunct city bank. II
he wins the case. as there is every
reason to believe will be the case, the
result will be most favorable for the
depositors getting proportion, at least,
OF their claims. On Monday or Tues
day an attempt will be made to oust
the receiver and if that is successful
an assignee will be appointed to wind
up the affairs of the bank. The suit
against the stockholders it is expected
will put about $4,000 into the deposit
ors' pockets, and it is hoped that
enough more will be realized from the
assets to give claimants at least 30
cents on the dollar.

A Satisfactory Decision.

YUMA, Ariz., Aug. 5'-The people OF
Yuma and vicinity, in mass meeting
tonight, unanimously agreed to request
Attorney General Olney not to take an
appeal to the United States supre ne
court in the Algodones land grant cases,
decided in favor of the claimants by the
United States land court of private
claims. The reasons given are that the
settlers on the grant are satisfied with
the decision and want no appeal, which
they claim will retard settlement for
years, ruin many farmers and destroy
the prosperity of this part of Arizona.

To have persons come to Southern

Mr.. Smith was seen at the Hollenbeck

He could give no history of the insect

left Australia before it's discovery and its
value became known.

the prasehopper was almost extermin-
sted. To show the interest and
enterprise OF the Cape Colony
government, Mr.. Smith stated that
the government sent men here to get a
good supply OF the vedalia cardinals or
Iady bug, which in a short time did as
rood service there as it did in California
In exterminating the cottony cushion
scale. Some time ago the government
proposed sending 100 young farmers to
the United States, including the large
cities. and to England, to study these
places for the benefit Of that farawsy
country. The members OF the party
were to be elected by popular vote from

WHEN we are told that Great Britain
is the creditor nation against the rest of

easily see that narrow policy would
try to increase that vast credit at the
expense of those who owe it. But there
is limit to the power of endurance of
debtors as we'll as other animals. To
exact from them more than they can
pay is to lessen she value OF the credit,

Exciting Runaway,

Yesterday morning, DR.. Sylvester's
horse, which was standing in front of G..
M. Rice & Co.'s warehouse on Exchange
street, managed to wind the strap of the
hitch weight about his feet. The horse
then ransup the street. Mr.. VIM. Libby
of Federal street tried to stop the horse,
aud the strap caught about his ankle.
Then MI. William Allen, Jr., rushed to
the rescue, and he was thrown heavily to
the frozen ground, striking upon his
shoulders, but fortunately escaped inju-
ny. On the sidewalk, in front of the
Board of Trade rooms the suspense was
ended by the horse being brought under
control. MI. Libby's clothing was some
what torn, his hat ruined, and severe
ST. ain sustained during his struggle, but
he luckily escaped serious injury. The
damage to the sleigh and harness is
about $25.

The Bath Strike.

: When thirty-four English laborers went
out of the yard at A. Sewan & Co.'s iron
ship building plant Monday, the head of
the firm made the remark that he always
had managed his own affai and pro-
posed to do it now. And the sequel was
the discharge of Superintendent Wad-
dington, which occurred in this manner.
Mr.. Sewall informed the superintendent
that they could look after their affairs
in future, and he with true British
persistency resolved to be superintendent
or nothing, and SO withdrew from the
service of the firm. Mr.. Waddington came
from San Francisco to oversee the
building of the Sewall's first iron vessel.
He learned his trade in Belfast, Ireland
and was foreman of d large plant on the
Mersey prior to his coming to this
country.
The Englishmen are looking for work
elsewhere, some of them having already
left the city. They certainly made bip
wages while in Bath The average pay
made by riveter has been from four to
six dollars per day. They work in gangs
OF four,.- comprising two riveters,
"holder-on" and heater boy. The riveters
are paid for the entire job at SO much
per hundred rivets and after paying
their helpers, divide the balance. One
gang earned S10S last week, the highest
ever paid for the work by this firm.
These wages are said to be lower than the
rates in San Francisco, but higher than
those paid by the firms on the great
lakes.
A riveter serves five years at his trade
and sometimes makes a pound a day in
the old country.
