NOBODY could mistake the fact that
Yesterday was holiday in Los Angeles.
All the public buildings were closed
excepting the city jail, which was open
on top. Many retail and nearly all the
Wholesale stores were out of business for
at least half the day, and Wells, Fargo

The banks were, OF course, closed; but
the newspaper offices were, as usual on
holidays, in full blast. The birthday Of

WILL 1T EVER END?
A Possibility that the Dexter Bank Case
May Be Tried Again.

SKowHEGAN, April 13.-In the suit of
John Fl. Mitchell to recover the reward
offered by the trustees of the Dexter
Savings Bank for the detection of the
Barron murderers, report has been
made up for the Law Court which pre-
sents these questions for consideration:
"First, whether the action is properly
brought against the trustees of the Dex-
ter Savings Bank, or whether upon the
facts therein stated it should have been
brought against the bank. Secondly,
whether the question of the detection Of
the murderers of j. w. Barron is open to
the defendants?'
1t will be seen that if the first question
is decided in favor of the defendants,
there is an end of this suit against the
trustee personally; but if it is decided in
favor of the plaintiff and the second
question in favor of the defendants, then
the whole Barron case as. to whether
Barron committed suicide, and whether
Stain and Cromwell are the real murder
ers will have to be fought all over again.

Consolidated Road Does Not Want the

New HAVEN, Conn.,, April 13.-Presi-
dent Charles P. Clark, of the New York

ing with regard to the story sent out by
the Boston News Bureau last night, to
the effect that the Consolidated road was
likely to secure the New York 6 New
England railroad, and Charles P. Clark
would soon retire from the management
of the Consolidated. Mr.. Clark said:
"That is the first ] have heard of the re-
port. | did not know but they had re-
ported / was dead"
One of the managers of, the New Ha-
ven road this morning said: "The New
Haven road has all the territory and all
the responsibility it desires. We have
no more intention of acquiring the New
England than of acquiring the Union Pa
cif1c railroad. These rumors are sent
out in the interests of the New England
road. They are undoubtedly intended
to influence us favorably to acquire the
property"

A WHISTLE NOT A FOG HORN.
Nevertheless the Owners OF the Portland
Schooner Florence Will Get Damages

BosToN, Mass, April ia mechani-
cal steam whistle is not a fog born, and a
sailing vessel using such an implement
as means of signaling while under way
does so in violation of the sailing regula-
tions established by Congress.
This proposition was laid down today
by the United States circuit court of ap-
peals in the case of Moses M. Gould and
others against the steamer Parthian, of
the Boston land Philadelphia Steamship
Company
The libellants are the owners of the
schooner Florence of Portland, Me-,
which collided with the Parthian on
July 10, 1890, off Sandy Hook in fog
The schooner signaled by a steam
mechanical whistle, and in the district
court Judge Nelson held that the use of
this appliance was transgression of the
laws of Congress and what caused the
collision, and her owners could not re-
cover the damages, placed at about $25,-
900 which they sought to recover.
This court, in an opinion written by
Justice Webb, holds that the use of the
steam whistle by the schooner was a
fault. but that it did not contribute sole
ly to the collision, and her owners are
entitled to recover one-half the damages
sustained. This court says that the
Parthian was negligent in going at a
high rate of speed in fog, and her
owners must stand one-half the burthen
cast by the collision.
The case is sent back to the district
court for further proceedings in relation
to the determination of damages.

Stars and Stripes which, for two months,
fioated from the government building,
have been hauled down, and the remain
ing forces from the United States cruiser
Boston sent aboard. Nothing indicative
of American authority remains in Homo
lulu save Minister Stevens and Commits
sioner Blount, the latter of whom sits in
an easy chair at his cottage cogitating no
one knows what. It is known that Min
lister Stevens was not informed that the
commissioner intended to lower the flag,
and the provisional government had less
than "a hours notice. President Dole
says the provisional government is strong
enough to MAINTAIN itself.

AS CITIZENS OF THE WORLD.
Mr.. Carter's Appeal to the Arbitrators to
Forget All Prejudice.

Mr.. Carter's Appeal to the Arbitrators to
Forget All Prejudice
PARIS, April 13.-In the Behring sea
court of arbitration today, Mr.. Carter,
continuing his argument, admitted that
the fact that pelagic sealing was wrong
did not give the United States the right
to interfere, but he contended when it
was proven that such sealing seriously
injured an American industry, it became
the duty of the United States to stop the
practice. Lord Salisbury had commended
that only piracy justified the seizure of
vessels on the high seas. Both piracy
and the slave trade had been suppressed
because they were injurious to humanity
at large. The American counsel failed
to see how they differed from pelagic
sealing, which was also injurious to hu-
manity. Mr.. Carter briefly recapitulated
the genesis and development of the seal
ing dispute under the various heads so
far as it affected the regulation of the
industry. lie sthen proceeded
to the question of the right of
United States to protect
the sealing interests and industry. This
pOItlOH VI HIS duUI6SS Was the most Gt-
fective in point of oratory heard since
the opening of the court of arbitration.
Mr.. Carter began by declaring that how
ever valuable to the United States the
seal herd might be, its greatness as a
nation forbade its accepting any decision
unless founded upon the principles of
justice. He was convinced that Great
Britain shared these views and demand
ed only decision directed by these
principles. That decision, said Mr..
Carter, ought to be a monument for fu-
ture generations. He appealed to the
members of the court to dismiss from
their breasts every feeling OF partiality
and give Judgment not as citizens Of
any particular country, but as citizens
of the world. The question at stake was
a moral one. The controversy was one
between nations. The particular code of
morals of either country, therefore, was
inadmissible. The tribunal must base
it's decision upon the great moral princi-
pie common to all humanity.
Mr.. Carter had not finished when the
court adjourned.

NEW YORK, April 13.-A special from
Topeka, Kansas, says: Reports were re-
ceived here yesterday of terrible devasta-
tion and destruction OF property by
prairie fires in Western Kansas during
the past As hours. Several hundred head
of cattle have been caught in the fire
and perished, while in one instance 40
head of sheep, inclosed in a ranch which
was surrounded by a barbed wire fence,
per shed in the flames. In Morton county
on Monday night, party of campers, en-
route to Oklahoma from Colorado, set
fire to clump of grass near their tents
as matter of protection to their stock
and families against sweeping fire which
was coming with rapid force from the
south. The wind was blowing a gale,
and the flames leaped over the fire guard
which had been plowed and ignited the
great unbroken sea of dry grass north of
them. Soon sthe fire spread over
territory from four to six miles wide, and
for 80 miles nearly every vestige of dry
material was consumed. Everything the
farmers possessed was licked up. by the
flames. Thousands of tons of hay and
many granaries of corn and wheat are in
the ruins. More than so head of horses
in stables and Sheds covered with hay
were burned by the fire, which was not
checked until it reached the Cimarron
river.

Christians by the Literati, at Tea Tsui,
70 miles northeast of Annoy. A band of
rufians headed by some literary gradu-
ates, attacked small company of Chris
tians gathered for worship in house of
one of the latter. The worshippers were
seized and beaten most cruelty. One
woman was killed, and her husband had
his queue torn out by the roots. Her
two sons were so badly treated that one
of them is not expected to live. Some
of the others present were hung up by
ropes tied around their wrists, beaten
and left hanging the whole night. A few
days later the ringleader was arrested,
but his arrest was resented by the peo-
pie to such an extent that they made
determined attack upon Christians re-
siding in the city. They damaged the
chapel and stoned the Rev. r. M. Ross,
who brought the matter to the notice of
the British consul at Annoy.
