UKIAH, April 10.-An interesting case is
expected to develop at the session of the
Superior Court of Mendocino County which
opened to-day. 1t is the missing will case
in the matter of the estate of the late j. b.
Mcclure. prominent early day miner and
a California pioneer. who for years had
been a successful hop-gr0wer in Ukiah
Valley, and who at the time OF his death,
last December, left an estate valued at

OF three Democratic Trustees. The remain
der of the ticket is about equally divided
between the two parties.
PErALUMA, April 1O.-The city election
passed off quietly. There were a number Of
tickets in the field, although politics did not
figure.
FRESNO, April 10-An exciting NUM-
cipal election was held to-day in Fresno.
The foresight of the authorities alone pre-
vented scenes of violence at the polls. a
very large vote was polled, and what is
known here as the CITY Triangle" was de-
feated.
The Triangle" consisted of three City
Trustees Bert Afford, William Fahey and
S. II. Cole. The two first were candidates
for reelection. but were defeated by the
Republican candidates. Joseph Spinney and
E. C. Adams!
The latter were also supported by the
Peoples party.
The Triangle" had made itself notorious
and hated by its high-handed proceedings.
1t converted the Fire Department and the
Police Department into political machines:
let contracts to the highest bidder; tried to
get control of the school money, and con-
Quoted itself disreputably generally.
There was a strong feeling against its
members in consequence, and, though they
made a desperate fight, they were defeated.
The rest of the Democratic ticket, ex-
cepting school trustee or two, were elsc-
ted. There was great rejoicing when it be-
came known that the Triangle men were
defeated.
A large crowd gathered and carried the
successful candidates. E. C. Adams and Joe
Spinuey around town, headed by band.
The people are glad at the prospect OF a
return to clean municipal government.

WASHINGTON. April 1O.-A telegram
was received at the War Department to-day
from Colonel Carlin at Fort Sherman. Idaho,
stating that Lieutenant w. j. Brumback of
the Second Infantry, who disappeared in
Washington about two weeks ago, was seen
on Sunday in boat on ST. Joseph River
He was apparently returning TO his cabin
CGUR D'ALENE. Ida, April 10.-LIeu-
tenant Brumback, who was taken to Wash
ington, ID. C., few weeks ago for treat
ment at the Government Insane Asylum,
has returned 10 his ranch on the ST. Joseph
River. He my seriously disappeared from
Washington before he could be placed in
the asylum. Brumback's mind has been
weakened by constant brooding over sup
posed wrongs and by his solitary mode of
life. He will probably be again sent to
Washington when the authorities learn Of
his whereabouts.

NOT LEGALLY PASSED.
The Peculiar Discovery Anent a New
Statute.

The Peculiar Discovery Anent New
Statute.
SACRAMENTO. April 1O.-In more respects
than the introduction of fool resolutions
the late unlamenled Legislature was an ez-
traordinary body. 1t passed a lot of laws
that would have been better off the statute
books, but, further than this, there is at
least one law on the books which
has no semblance of a right to be there.
Senator Carpenter on February 10 intro
duced in the Senate bill 693. entitled IAN
act authorizing the appointment of trustees
for the estates of missing persons and de-
fning the duties of such trustees" The
bill, according to official records, WAS re-
ferred TO the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate and was afterward passed. When
the bill reached the Assembly 1t was de-
feated. No motion for recon sideration was
made and there was no reconsideration of
the vote.
The Senate was apprised of the Assem-
biy's refusal to pass the measure Yet.
Notwithstanding, it was sent to enrolment
and Endorsed, as having passed the Senate,
by F. j. Brandon. secretary. per Bower. and
as having passed the Assembly March II,
Endorsed by George W. Peckham, clerk, per
Mason, assistant clerk. The original record
Of the Assembly is straight. but the record
of the Senate makes 1t appear it had passed
the Assembly. The bill went to the Gov
ernor and received his signature March %,
and while it never passed the Legislature
is now indexed and chaptered as one OF the
laws of the State, and will so appear in the
statute book now in press.

ONLY A MISSING MEssENGER.-The re-
ported disappearance of Mrs. Otto Schroe-
der, The wife of 4 grocer at 1910 Mission
street, nov appears to be explained. Mrs.

liver the note-hence the report.

ORANGES TO Go ABRoAD.-The demand
for California oranges in Europe is on the
increase. E. l.. Goodsell, a New York
dealer IN California fruits. was in the CITY

Antwerp. Hamburg, Glasgow, and the
surplus in Liverpool and London. From
investigation in the fruit districts of the
State. Mr.. GoOdsell was confident of good
season for fruit. with prices about the same
as ruled IN the past year. America would
doubtless attract large number of visitors
this year, and that would keep up the de-
mand.

VICTORY FOR BRIGGS.
The New York Presbytery VIII Stand
at His Back.

at Ills BACK.
New York, April 10.--lnterest in the
Briggs case increases as the time for the
meeting of the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly'in May approaches. The semi-annual
meeting of the New York Presbytery was
held to-day, the principal business heing
the election of seven clerical and seven lay
commissioners and alternates to the General
Assembly. The Rev. Duncan j. Mcmillan
suggested that the commissio ners be chosen
from the majority, as Is usual with9the pres
bytery, saying that an important case will
go to the General Assembly On appeal. and
1t seems only fair that the delegation should
present the majority who acquitted him.
This reference to Briggs brought several
anti-Briggs clergymen to their Feet and
hot discussion ensued, but finally the Briggs
men gained the victory. four Briggs men
and three anti's being chosen.
DIR. Charles L. Thomson introduced n Sc
ries of resolutions. giving the negative to
the oVertures of the General Assembly in
the matter OF the recent revision of the con-
fession OF faith, and after another warm de-
bate these resolutions were adopted.

ARIZONA WANTS A HARBoR.
She Would Like an Outlet on the Gulf
of California.

OF California.
PHOENIX, AriZ., April 10.-Ihe Legislature
of Arizona to-day passed a concurrent resO-
luton requesting the President of the
United States to open friendly negotiations
with the Republic of Mexico looking to such
q readjustm ent of the international boun-
dairy as will give Arizona safe and COM
modlous harbOr near The head of the Gulf
OF California and secure to the citizens of
the United States PARTICIPATION in the vast
and valuable fishing privileges of the gulf.
This subject is one of profound import
ance to Arizona. as it is felt here that the
railroad construction that would certainly
and promptly follow the establishment of a
port of the United States near the head of
the Gulf of California would greatly pro-
mote the Development of all natural re-
sources Of Arizona. There are great harbOr
facilities in Pincate Bay, the point in view.
The Strengthening of the line from Nogales
westward would give Pincate Bay to
Arizona.
The original Gadsden treaty provided
that the line should terminate twenty miles
south of the mouth of the Colorado River,
but this was inadvertently changed in the
engrossed and ratified copy to twenty miles
south OF the ella River. That mistake has
robbed Arizona of a deep-water harbor,
Such port would develop the whole west
