residents on Grand Island held at Ryde
Landing on Saturday it was decided
to enlarge the right of way for a
canal from Beaver Lake to the head of
the forty-toot canal, from fourteen feet in

improvement and advancement of the
island, and to build a pumping plant at
Ryde Landing with capacity OF $4,000
gallons per minute, and to build a
dredger to increase. the hight of the
levee two feet and enlarge the crown so
that there will be twenty-foot roadway
on top.
The trustees will open an Office in the
district, where all the books, papers,
maps, etc. will be open for inspection at
all times, and the business of the board
will be conducted therein.
Nine nominations were made for COM
missioners to levy the assessment, viz;

tum, e. Damn, P. Crew, p. II. Gardener

BURKE AND M'NULPY

The Former Arrested Under Rather.
Suspicious circumstances
About s o'clock on Saturday night
Special officer Greer saw two men on
Sixth street, near X, struggling together
and one seemed to be trying to rifle the
others pockets. One of the men was
very much intoxicated.
Greer intertered and found them to be
James Burke and John McNulty, and
Burke was apparently trying to rob Nc
Nulty. He at first denied the charge and
said he was trying to take McNulty
home, but shortly afterward he broke
away and ran rapidly up the street.
He was Intercepted by Officer Higgins
and Special Thompson, and both men
were locked up in the City Jail.

At Saturdays session of the County
Board of Education, Mrs. Lena Hoppe
Lowe, Mrs. Mary L. Gould and Miss
Mabel Limbach were granted recon-
mendations for educational diplomas.
Miss Harriet NJ Grover was granted a

versity diploma.
The following resolution was adopted:

10 per cent. of the county school fund an
nually; therefore,
I'eSotred, That all apparatus adopted by

construction of the new cells this fault
will not occur.
After excavating pit ten or more feet
deep, large blocks of granite were
dumped into the same. They were fitted
as closely as possible. and every space
was filled in with broken granite and
cement. The top of this is to be cemented
over, and in this bed of cement granite
blocks two feet thick are to be dovetailed
together for floor. When the cells are
finished the convict who can dig his way
out through the floor deserves his liberty.
Every stone used in the floor will be so
arranged and of such size that part of it
will be in one cell and part in another,
and so that each floor stone will support
part of the partition wall of the cells. 1t
will thus be seen that unless a convict
has Burleigh drill, a lot of dynamite and
a steam engine to run the drill with he
could not get out in an ordinary life time.

The Haley-Murphy Contest Nearly
Caused a Riot.
The glove contest between Jerry Haley
and Jack Murphy, at Armory Hall, on
Saturday night, was the worst flake"
ever perpetrated upon the Sacramento
public. There was large attendance
and good contest had been promised.
The men were together but one minute,
however, when Murphy sat down from a
light blow on the breast, and then pre-
tended to be dazed. Haley struck him
on each side Of the chin, and then Muir
phy lay down for good.
The fighters came near being mobbed
by the indignant assemblage. The gen.
eral opinion was that Haley was honest
about the matter and really intended to
give good exhibition, but that the other
fellow deliberately lay down for the
losers end of the purse rather than take
any chances of being hit.
The police ordered Murphy out of
town yesterday.

From the Sacramento Themis.l
The RECORD-UNIoN has entered upon
new volume. 1t is needless to say that
our neighbor is one of the great papers on
this coast. Under its present manage
ment it has greatly improved in matters
of literary taste and variety. AS a news
paper it has also made very marked ad-
vancement. 1t has always been a great
newspaper, and its editorial columns are
the repository of able and comprehensive
consideration of the public political and
literary wants of the day. In the discus
sion Of public affairs it is fearless and
just. To sum up the greatness of our
neIghbor, we can say, what can rarely be
said OF modern journals, it is a clean and
wholesome exponent of journalism.

PETER SPEAKS OUT.
This Government Has No Right to
Interfere in Hawaii.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Senator PETER
takes decided ground against the present
position of the United States Government
toward Hawaii. "In the first place." he
said, "the notice which our Government
had of a change of government in tile
islands came in an official form, showing
that a successful revolution had been eff
fected there. That is as far backward as
il is either necessary or proper for our
Government to go in tracing the history OF
the change. There is nothing which have
seen tending 10 show that citizens of the
United States had anything to do in any
fOrcible way in bringing about the change.
Assuming this to be true, it is the business
of the United States TO treat the situation
as it was found to exist when negotiations
were begun by the Provisional Govern
ment. and the proper thing to do now is to
acknowledge the existing Government as
the real Government of the islands ana
treat with its officials for such privileges
as or Government has always enjoyed in
the harbOrs there and recommend that the
deposed Queen be properly cared for dur
ing her lifetime"
PETER does not concur in the proposition
to make the Hawaiian Islands part of
the United States. but thinks we can obtain
all the maritime advantages we need by
treating with the present Government
upon the condition that this Government
will protect the independence of the islands
in the future.
81 do not believe" he continued, "that
any considerable portion of the people of
the United States would favor the deposi-
tion of the present Government and the
reinstatement of the old monarchy. When
the revolution of q few years ago occurred
in Brazil there was no besitaney upon the
part OF our Government or any other Gov
ernment in giving an early recognition OF
the change. Had our then existing ad-
minisiratiOn undertaken to set aside the
new Government and reinstate the old it
