California.
The steamer state of California arrived here
Monday night, twelve hours overdue from
Portland and Astoria. The delay to the
steamer was caused by heavy weather OF the

steamer was tossed about at the mercy of the
waves for several hours, unable to make any
Roadway.
Several times she was boarded by immense
seas which broke over her bow, flooding the
decks and rendering II impossible for her crew
or passengers TO move about while the gale
lasted without danger Of being washed over
board.
Head winds continued to blow until this port
was almost reached.
Two of the California's crew were slightly
injured by being thrown against the forward

BAD INVESTMENTS.

Reckless FfbanoisrinK OF the kanaas
scheoI Fund Commissioners.
TofRkAf Kan, April 6.-The state
school fund commissioners, comprising
General Little, Secretary OF
State Osborn and Superintendent OF
Public instruction Gaines. were found
today to have invested sl7OO OF the
school fund In KeArnsy county bonds
held bv eastern parties and Fepudiated
by the county. and 10000 In Hamilton
county bonds owned by George w.
Grain OF this city aud also fepudiated.
Hamilton and Kearney counties are in
the extrems western section of the state
and the bonds were all issued for re-
funding purposes and repudiated BY the
counties several years ago, since which
time they have had no market value.
The state commissioners bought them
az par and the accrued interest.
The Hamilton county bonds we're sold
by Mr.. Grain a week ago st go cents on
the dollar to j. 3. Lindsay, attorney Tor
the Etna Insurance company, which
owns $4,000 OF similar refunding bonds
OF the same county, and brought suit
two months ago to test their validity.
Mr.. Grain discovered on Thursday last
that the ultimate purchaser OF his bonds
was the state school fund, and immedi
ately turned over the money received fol
them, to be held in trust until the valid
ity OF the bonds is determined by the
courts.
Governor Lewslling is out OF the city
but it ie stated that when he learns o
the purchases he will severely condemn
the school fund commissioners. 1t il
rumored that the commissioners have
made other questionable investments

for about so per cnt of the California

will not surren6r this without receiving
concessions which the other lines are
not willing to grant. They can wrest
