fields cdurt yesterday morning. The de-
PENDANT is serving a siXty-year sentence in

for new trial was granted. When the
murder case was called yesterday ii went

appeal pending in the Supreme Court from

GOING To HAWAII.
A Commissioner of the Provisional
Government Here.

government here.
Charles L. Carter, one of the commits
sioners of tho Hawaiian Provisional Gov
eminent, and the last 10 leave Washington,
arrived here yesterday from the capital
en- route to Honolulu.
Mr.. Carter was seen last night by CALL
reporter. In the course Of an interview he
said: 81 was the commissioner left behind
in Washington to watch the interests OF the
Provisional Government.
II am taking a run down to Hawaii on
leave OF absence. l still hold my position
as the sole comm lssioner left to look after
the Governments interests; but as 1 can do
nothing at the present juncture there is
scarcely any necessity for my remaining ut
Washington.
Il shall leave here in n few days by the
Belgic, returning later on, when my ser
vices are again required.
- Notwithstanding the charge in the tone
OF a considerable portion OF the press rela-
tive TO the advisabiity of Americas an
nexatOn of Hawaii, | still feel quite conf
dent that the Islands Will very soon form
portion of the United States. OF course,
we were all deeply disappointed not to have
our treaty OF annexation passed by the late
administration after coming so near to RE
cOnsummatl0n Of our hopes; but, although
the action of President Cleveland means the
beginning all over again, VIC feel that the
end desired is merely deferred for time.
I'VE are confident that Commissioner
BlOunt will perform the duty entrusted to
him with impartiality and according to the
result Of his inquiries and observations.
Some declalm against his action in hauling
down the American flag as mis- initial act;
but think he did quite right.
81 lie prOtectQrate WAS declared Just at q
time whrI something of the sort was abso-
lutely necessary to preserve order and avert
probable blGolshed. Now that everything
is qaet ana the army of the Provisional
Government is well disciplined and able to
command the situation, the protection Of
the United States is no longer necessary,
and by being Withdrawn clears the country
from the impuiatiOn of its being coerced into
couSenting to annexation"

BEULAH RESCUE HOME.
A Salvation Army Fair Held in Aid
Of If

A Salvation Army Fair Held in Aid
of 1t.
A very successful fair was held yesterday
at the Salvation Army Rescue Home,
Beulah, Fruitvale, for the benefit of the
home.
a few Of the pretty and useful articles
displayed were donations from outside
friends of the home, but by far the greater
number were the work of the girls them
selves. Two long tables were loaded with
all kinds OF fancy work, knitting. comforts
and painting, and as several hundred
people were present, there was a brisk
sale.
In the afternoon meeting was held. led
by Major Keppe, the head of the Salvation
Army on this coast. Mrs. Montgomery.
president of the Rescue Home, then made a
speech requesting contributions for fourteen
more beds, TO com Dlete the number which
the Institution. can accommodate. The APP
peal met with an immediate response. and
before the fair closed the whole amount re-
quired had been promised
One very encouraging feature Of the pro-
eeedings was the presence of several girls
who have been rescued by the home, and
are now earning an honest living and in the
world.
Mrs. McFee, who was mainly instru-
mental in founding The Institution, was
present, as were most of the other promi-
nent members OF the Salvation Army, in
addition to number of persons of different
denominations.

CALIFORNIA JAYS.
Mystery Of Their Varying
Bills Explained.
The Academy of Sciences Meet and
Clear Up Interesting Problems of
Birds and Quicksilver.

The scientists up at the academy got to-
gether last night and talked about varia-
lions of the bin OF the California Jay and
quicksilver deposits.
Walter E. Bryant made it quite clear to.
every enc present why it is that the Cali
fornia jays vary.
Consequently the next time the California
jay sends in its bill, and it don't happen to
be consistent with the bill of the previous
month, no one will murmur.
Unfortunately the speaker did not touch
upon the reasons for the variation in the
bills of the city and county locksmith, nor
did he explain similar variations to be
noticed occasionally in the accounts rem
dered by our plumbers, and by the inde-
pendent but indispensable gas company.
However, ii was made patent TO every
breathless listener In the hall that many
years ago the bill Of the California jay took
il into its head 10 vary, and has kept right
on varying ever since. until now the varia-
ton has reached such n stage that with the
aid of a good microscope and a powerful
Imagination you can detect a positive dis
similarity between certain specimens Of
these evolved bills.
Walter L. Bryant spoke Interestingly on
the occurrence OF quicksilver In Cali
fornia.
In Del Norte County ore was long ago
discovered. but the most northe-iy deposits
which have been actively worked are those
of Lake and Colusa County.
A line drawn from the Sonoma County
mines to those of New Almaden passes
directly through the local deposits OF CHINA
bar recently discovered.
In reply to question, Mr.. Watts, OF the
State Mining Bureau, said that in some
cases qul cksilver ore running only half
per cent would pay to work, provided it
contained small quantities of gold aud
silver. One per cent ore would sometimes
pay without this.
The Mccarthy mine he deemed q good
prospect, but said it was difficult to make
any positive statements in regard 10
its v alue at this stage of its development.
