Paniea under Colonel Nunan) without
general officer, and. as Colonel Nunan
states, without orders.
Colonel Nunan's movement to the
rear, again taking away the troops in
contact with the crowd, was unfortunate.
Ide men OF the Second brigade in the
rear. seeing these four Sacramento and
Stockton companies moving away, drew
the worst conclusion from it and
thought they were desertng.
The failure OF tbs brigadier general
General Dickinson) commanding the
Second brigade to cooperate, as d.
Tected, with General Sheehan at the
time ths Fourth brigade was stopped in
its efforts to entsr the depot at the west
end by the crowd, the east end OF the
depot WAS practically open and there was
no crowd of people between the position
OF the Second brigade in the column and
the east end. There WAS absolutely
nothing TO prevent movement OF this
kind, and "a the object TO be gained was
the occupation of the depot, the head OF
the column being stopped, the only way
III which t1ene-ol Dickinson could CO.
operate with General Sheehau was to
move his C MN ,ad, or a part OF it, to the
open east end oi the depot, which could
readily have been done.

No Anti Anarchist Legislation at This
Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Representa-
tive A. w. Stones bill for consular in
spsction of emigrsnts coming to this
country is involved in q conference
committee deadlock and will thus go
over to the next session. AS the bill
passed ths houae, it directed United
States consuls at foreign ports to inspect
immigrants before they embarked.
When the measure reached the senate,
the Hill anti-snarohist bill was adopted
as substitute. Thus the house and
senate passed radically different bills
and there was no way OF harmonizing
them. The conference wss determined
to try and get the anti-anarchist bill
through the senate az a separate meas
ure, but this failed in the house. II it
had succeeded. the conferees might
have reported in favor of the Stone bill.
As it is, the whole subject goes over
until next session, when action prob.
ably will be taken on the anti-anarchist
bill and perhaps on the Stone consular
inspection immigrant bill.

The average weekly temperature was /:

As compared with the normal temper
aturee there is an excess &C San Fran
cisco of degrees, Eureka A, Red Bluff

This excess of heat throughout the
state has rapidly ripened all summer
crops and greatly assisted in the rapid
drying OF the fruits and the picking OF
the hop crop. both of which are large,
in quantity and quality.
The excessive heat has also been the
cause of an unusual atmospheric phe-
nomenon in the southern part OF the
state in the shape of @ severe electric
storm in Los Angeles on the 25th, which
gave considerable rain farther in the in
terror.
An electric storm in that part of the
state is rather remarkable, but as this
has boen an unusually cool summer up
to this week that phenomenal stmos-
pheric activity is not to be greatly won

reform cannot bs successfully inaugur-

ated.
When we give to our manufacturers
rec raw materials we unshackle Amer
icau enterprise and ingenuity, and these
will open the doors of iorsign markets
to the reception of our wares and give
opportunity for the continuous and re-
munerative employment of American
labor.
With materials cheapened by their
freedom from tariff charges, the cost OF
their product must be corsespondingly
cheapened. Thereupon justice and
fairness to the consumer would demand
chat the manufacturers be obliged to
submit to such resdjustment and mod
ifcation of the tariff upon their finished
goods as would secure to the people the
benefit of the reduced coet of their man
ufacture and shield the consumer
against the exactions OF inordlnate
profits.
1t will thus be seen that free raw
materials and just and fearless regu-
lation and reduction of the tariff to meet
the changed conditions, would carry to
every humble home in the land the
blessings of increased comfort and
cheaper living.
The millions of our countrymen who
have fought brayely and well Tor tariff
reform should be exhorted to continue
the struggle. boldly challenging to open
warfare and constantly guarding against
treachery and half heartedness in their
camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled until
it is honestly and fairly settled In the

was led back to the cell from which he
escaped the dove went with him. 1t re-
mained with him up to the morning of

marched up tho scafeld the dove was
psrched on his shoulder and remained
there until the black cap was drawn
