New York Evening Post: Al
though native oysters are eaten all
the year round in Louisiana, the in
dustry of cultivating and gathering
them is yet in an undeveloped state
there. The beds are said to be
enormous, and many OF them remain
untouched. Wide, shallow bays
with fresh water streams flowing in
to them, and containing abundant
organic matter for the fattening of
shellGsh, run up everywhere into the
coast. Among the sheets of water
favorable for the breeding of oysters
are lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne,
Chandelier and Isle au Breton
sounds, and the bays Of Barrataria.
Timbalier, Terrebonne, Atchafalaya,
st. Bernard, Cote Blanche and Yer
million. Statistics for the year 1890
show that $4,000 barrels Of oysters
were fshed in that state, at a gross
cost of %$250,0O0. They were sold
for $4l0,0o0 leaving a profit of
100000. In considering these fig.
ures, it should be borne in mind that
the industry is in its infancy. Gap.
tain J. B. Baylor. Of the United
States coast survey, declares that
the Louisiana oysters are among the
finest he has ever seen, equal 10 fla
vor to the choicest Of the Virginia
and Maryland beds. 1t is predicted
that the Pelican state will soon be-
come a dangerous rival.

Figures are mighty convincing at
times and are generally truthful.
Did it eyer occur to you to count
the saving in the matter Of freight
that would be realized if we bad a
large rice mill located here? The
one we have been agitating has a
daily capacity of 1000 barrels and
on the superstition that it would run
200 days in the year, would have an
annual capacity of 100000 barrels.
Each barrel yields fully sixty pounds
of bran, -four and hull. making an
annual total Of 12,000,000 pounds.
With a mill here the freight on all
this loss would be saved, which at
forty cents per hundred pounds,
amounts within itself to the snug
little sum Of $4,000 annually. Had
you aver thought of it that way?
Crowley Signal.
What is stated above in regard
to Crowley is equally true Of Able
vile. A rice mill here is one of the
crying needs Of the hour, and the
want Of one contributes no little to
the prevailing hard times and search.

ENGLISH FORCES FOE VIC.
TORIA.
Supposed TO be in Connection
With the Berins Sea Claims.

/ SAN Francisco, July PA state
/ ment Is printed here, based upon a
letter from an English army officer
to q wealthy Englishman sojOurning
/ IN San Francisco, that contingency
| orders have been issued to the Fifth
battalion Of the Royal Rife brigade,
now at Davenport, England, to hold
itself in readiness to proceed to Vic
toria for colonial station duty. The
battalian numbers 1000 men and is
one Of the best organized and most
efficient in the British service. The
letter further says that the powerful
British ship Minotaur has also been
specially commanded to duty at
Esquimalt, and the commander of
the ship has been appointed naval
commandant The commander of
the royal brigade mas been made
commander of the Esquimalt station,
succeeding dock yard superintendent
and Colonel Prior, of the Cana
dian forces, who mas hereto
fore held both posts. Two batallions
VI 10y al md44AG d LIAltLg are dLSO
under orders for station duty at
Victoria, and the Canadian authori-
ties are said to be devising measures
to overhaul and put Esquimalt har-
Dor in a more complete defensible
condition.
The British officer writes his friend
to inquire about the climate and
general situation and the manner of
livin e at Esquimalt, and seems to
indicate that this sudden activity on
the part of the British authorities
has direct connection with the Beh-
ring sea controversy. From the tone
and language of the letter the San
Francisco Englishman believes that
England anticipates an unfavorable
termination of the Behring sea arbi-
trstion, and proposes to place herself
in position to defend and enforce
what she considers her rights in the
seal properties. The recent arrival
of the war vessel Royal Arthur at
Esquimalt, with Admiral Stevenson
aboard, and these unusual move
ments of British forces appear to
lend some tinge of probability to the
story.

THE YORKTOWN TO RE
LIEVE THE BOSTON.
Enlisted Men in Uncle SANS" Service
Can Now Purchase their Dis
charge.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The dis
posal Of vessels that participated
in the naval review, continues,
and as fast as they can be made
ready the white ships are being
sent to the four quarters of the
globe. The latest to receive orders
to sail is the Yorktown, now at the
New York navy yard. She is in
dock being painted and next week,
if every thing is ready, she will
proceede to the Pacific station by
Cape Horn. The voyage will take
nearly three months under ordinary
cruising power, and it is probable
the ship will bring up at San
Francisco unless events in Peru
seem to require her to stop there.
She will then be cleaned and put
in shape for service to relieve one
of the vessels at the Hawaiian
islands, probably the Boston, which
has been a long time stationed
there and is in need of an over
hauling. The Yorktown will go
out under New York commander,
for the order was issued at the
navy department today detaching
Commander Harrington from duty
as inspector of the Fourth light
house district, and ordering him to
command the Yorktown, relieving
Commander Frank Wilds, who is
detached and granted a months
leave.
The cruiser Charleston, which |
has been undergoing repairs at the
navy yard, is now ready |
or sea and viii leave for the Paci- |
ic station in a few days. She
will 90 from Norfolk to Valparaiso, |
}hili, and, if no orders await her
here, she will proceed to Callao,
Peru, where instructions will be
ent her.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUDD. CD.
In this case the defendants plead
as a demurrer a misjoinder of de-
PENDANT, and on this plea being
overruled by the Court, took an APP
peal to the Supreme Court.
Having called in the respective
counsel and heard their views, and
referring to the cases of the Pro-
visional Government VS.. w. G.
Smith and Provisional Government
vs.. All I'm, we now apply the opin-
ions expressed therein to this case
and hold that the ruling on the de-
murrer was not appealable, al
though available as a point of law
on appeal if the District Magistrate
had made a decision in the case
which disposed of it so far as his
Court was concerned.
A decision in the statute on APP
peals means final one so far as
that Court is concerned. For in
stance, if the Court had sustained
the demurrer and no amendment
was asked for and obtained by
plaintiff, then the decision thereon
would be final in that Court.
We therefore decline to entertain
the case and send it back to the
District Court for further proceed
ings. Costs to abide the final |
event.

two cases of Importance concerning
the navy yard commands. He has
decided to make permanent the
suspension orders. Commodore
Kirkland will take command OF
the South Atlantic station, and
will allow him to remain as COM
mandant of the League Island, Pa,
navy yard. This will probably re-
suit in sending Commodore Stan
ton to the South Atlantic station.
The secretary also today issued an
order making Captain Howison
commandant of the Mare Island
navy yard. The captain has been
in temporary command for some
time.
The Columbus Iron Works
have notified the Navy Depart
ment that the cruiser Detroit, built
by them, is ready for delivery to
the Government. The reports of
the Bureaus of Construction and
Engineering, recommending the
acceptance of the vessel, are in the

vessel will be sent from Baltimore
to Norfolk Navy Yard, where she
will stay until she goes into
commission.

Papa Nordhoff has been at it
again, this time in the San Fran
cisco Argonaut. Like the rest OF
his letters this one is as full Of
misstatements as any royalist
journal in Honolulu. He admits
his first letter was written on the
evidence Of persons in San Fran
cisco before he knew anything of
the facts, which alone is enough to
impeach him as journalist. If
the truth could be aseertained the
annexationists he mentions as his
informants would more than likely
prove to be the Spreckels family
father and sons-who were mas
querading as annexationists, twill
aforementioned, before they received
orders from the sugar trust to back
the republic scheme and dance the
coolie puppet as an accessory to
Hawaiian prosperity.
