THE ITATA CASE.


The Closing Arguments Made in San
FranciscO.
Charles Page opened bis argument in
defense Of the Chilean side of the Itata
appeal case Yesterday morning, says the
Chronicle Wednesday. He cited nu-
merous decisions to chow that no
question of neutrality appeared in the
Itata case, and compared the effort of
the government to convict the defend
ants OF one offense and sentence them
for another; to an attempt to find a
man guilty OF EN- oezzlement and then
punish him for burglary. The strong
points OF the argument rested on several
famous decisions, particu larly Judge
Stoly's deIiverance in the case of the
Santiseima Trinidad, in which he held
that an American citizen might build,
arm and equip vessel and take her to
foreign scene OF hostilities, where he
might cell her to either belligerent
An opinion of the first attorney general
of the United States to the effect that
an enemy may come into the territory
of neutral nation and buy implements
Of war and remove them thence was also
cited, "a were similar conclusions of
Caleb Gushing Secretary Seward and
Justice Blatchford. The argument
made by Mr.. White that the United
States. by recognizing the insurgent
government OF Chile, had legally dis
missed its own case, was strongly for
titled by doctrines drawn from internat-
ional law.
In the afternoon ex-Judge Campbell,
attorney for the government, made the
closing argument. The actions of the
Itata, he claimed, were gross violation
of the neutrality law as it is understood
and always been observed by this coun-
try in its relations to other powers In
support of this claim the counsel made
detailed reference to several occurrences
of a like nature during the late civil
war. The circumstances under which
the Itata entered and departed from the
harbor Of San Diego, he said, proved
conclusively that the mission of the
vessel was contrary to the law. That
she WAS not merchant vessel, he
claimed, was shown by the fact that
prior to her arrival at San Diego che
had been used as war chip. While in
the harbor her actions were in every
way euapicious, and the suspicious were
subsequently confirmed by her de-
parture and capture.
Upon the conclusion of the argument
The case was submitted and taken under
advisement. 1t will probably be de-
cided early in the April term.
The court adjourned out of respect to
the memory OF the late Justice Lamar.

EDITORS HERALD: Permit me to say
that the above caption, although old, is
nevertheless applicable to crookedness
In public places at the present time, and
it seems to apply with much force to
the action taken by the honorable board
OF police commissioners at their meeting
held on the Oath inst, by which they
discharged from the force sue capable
officers as Sergeant Fletcher, who have,
perhaps, been longer in the service than
any other member of the force, and Of
ficers Craig. Baker, Glidden. Glaze,
Home, Purvis, Walsh, Inns, and others
whose record as police officers has been
unblemished. But there is evidence of
a fine Italian (or other) hand in this
whole matter. Many of these officers
had the manhood and honesty to testify
in the investigation held some tins ago,
relative to officers receiving bush money
from Chinese gamblers, in which it was
very clearly shown that the officers
charged were not free from blame. AL
though the heads of the department at
that time made extra exertion to screen
the wrong doers, they were held blamless
and was 80 declared by the commission
then sitting. But recent events point
so unmistakably to the punishment of
the men who testified in that matter,
and who have been straightforward and
honorable men, discharging their duties
for the compensation given them by the
city, that the natural conclusion is
forced upon us that there is something
rotten in the Los Angeles police depart
ment, and the moral inculcated by the
present administration of the police
department is for officers to Doodle all
they may; to be honest and truthful
counts for nothing. A SUBSCRIBER.

Impure or vitiated blood is nine times out OF

reach this condition by attacking the blood with
the drastic mineral 'potash." The potash theory
is old and obsolete. Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla
is modern 1t goes to the seat of the trouble. 1t
arouses the liver, kidneys and bowels to health

SULPHUR Mountain in Iceland.

Three miles from the village Of Krl-
suvik, in the great volcanic district Of
Iceland, there is a whole mountain COM
posed Of eruptive clays and pure white
sulphur. Although this sulphur mount
ain is a wonder in itself, interest G n
ters to that spot on account Of a beau
tiful grotto v hich penetrates the west
ern slope to an unknown depth. The
main entrance is n fissure-like chasm
about sixty feet in height and only
eight or ten feet wide. The floor in
clines for the first fifty or sixty yards,
and then suddenly pitches downward,
seemingly into the very bowels Of the
earth. Here the fissure widens into a
considerable cavern, with walls, roof,
floor, stalactites and stalagmites, all
composed of pure c%rystalized sulphur

a Wonderful Time-Keeping Auto
matOn.

One of the most wonderful time
keepers known to the horologist was
made In London about 100 years ago
and sent by the president Of the East
India company as a gift to the emperor
OF China. The a s was made in the
form Of a chariot, in which was seated
the figure of a woman. This figure
was OF pure ivory and gold, and sat
With her right hand resting upon a
Ilny clock fastened to the side of the
vehicle. A part of the wheels which
kept track Of the flight of time were
hidden in the body of a tiny bird,
which had seemingly just alighted upon
the lady's finger. Above was a canopy
go arranged as to conceal a silver bell.
This bell was fitted with a miniature
hammer Of the same metal, and, al
though 1t appeared to have no connec-
ton with the clock, regularly struck the
hours, and could be made to repeat by
touching a diamond button ON the
lady's bodice. In the chariot at the
ivory lady's feet there was a golden
figure OF a dog, and above and in front
were two birds, apparently flying be-
fore the chariot. This beautiful orna-
ment was made almost entirely of gold,
and was deliberately decorated with
precious stones.-St. Louis Republic.

Made Love by Lightning.

The late Prof. Morse made love by
lightning, as it were. He met his first
wife during an evening call at the house
of her father and proposed marriage
to her before he went away that night.
After some happy years she died, leav-
ing him with several children. He re-
NAMED a widower until the age of
81 he attended the wedding Of his eld-
est son. One of the younger ones was
what the Scotch tenderly call an Gin
nocent," and it was the kindness of a
relative of the bride to this boy that
attracted his fathers attention. He
invited the lady to drive with him on
the following day. When they returned
from the expedition they were engaged
to be married.

boards his gold.

he would with the greatest pleasure,

store, he telephoned to a hackman to
send a carriage to - street h a even

that the rate charged was to be $3.50

miss the carriage at the depot.
when the young man arrived at the
young lady's residence in the evening,
to his dismay two Of his 'sweetheart's

OF course this was not relished by
Keith, but he hoped to part company
with the crowd when the carriage was
announced. At the appointed time the
carriage appeared. and his girl insisted
that the young ladies should accompany
them to the depot. They at first do.

ELECTRIC HARNESS ON 4 RIVER.

ELECTRIC HARNE6SO ON A RIVER:
A Massachusetts scheme witch ID
Expected to Build q ManufacturinG
Town. ~.a.-..
Conway village, in Massachusetts,
three miles and q half from the well
known summer resort of Ashfeld. ia
to be converted into q busting manu-
featuring town and market center, If
an ambitious water-power scheme de-
scribed by the New York Evening Post
now on foot Is ever consummated, It
involves the Harvesting UP of South
river by the electricians. Conway. it
is true, already has cotton and WOODEN
mills, but they are not large enough to
give it distinction as a factory town.
In the four miles Of its course from
Conway Center to the Deerield river,
South river falls several hundred feet.
rushing down over rocks and lodges,
and hen out over a sandy bed, but
always confined between high hills,
which in places become almost inacces-
sible cliffs. This valuable water power
has hitherto been lost to manufacture
ers. Some distance before the Deer
field river is reached a ledge Of rock
rises sixty to one hundred feet above
the bed Of the stream, extends ut right
angles from the north wall of the river
gorge to within ~ninety-five feet Of the
opposite wall, and forms almost 4 per-
feet dam. 1t is proposed to complete
this dam, by which means the water
could be made to flow back three
fourths Of a mile and a capacity Of
125,OOO,OO0 gallons could be obtained.
The depth of the water Just above tho
dam would be nearly sixty feet; 1900
feet from the dam it would measure
forty-fve feet, and onelhalf Il mile
back twenty-five and One-half feet. The
proposed power house for the genera
ton Of electricity will be located $50 feet
below the dam, and the fall from the
top of the dam to the water wheels
will be 1903 feet. 1t is estimated that
with two fiftee n-inch wheels OH 4 hori-
Total shaft over GOO horse power can
be developed. The electricity generated
will be used chiefly to operate an cleo
trio railroad for freight and passengers
between Conway Center and the steam
railroad in the valley. The result would
be to bring Conway into touch with
the outer world and to make Of it
the railroad town for pastoral Ashiield.
Another prospective use for he cleo
tricity is the transmission of the cur
rent to neighboring towns or cities for
lighting purposes. Northampton Is only
fifteen miles distant, and electricians
say that q current could be sent to
that place sufficiently strong to light the
whole city.
