In q Drunken Row.

PAsoDNA, Cal Feb. 20-About 8 o'clock
last night three young men entered the
store of the March Bicycle Company and
rented wheels to take ride. They went
out to q saloon on East Colorado street,
three miles from town and outside Ct the
city limits. where they became intoxl-
Gated,
On their way back they met two other
men by the names of Newton and Har
rington, who were also under the
Influence of liquor. and all engaged in a
lively row. The three men jumped on
the two, beating them severely.
Harrington, in the meantime, got away
and raD down town to give the alarm,
leaving Newton In the hands of the three
men. On the return of Harrington with
two officers, they found Newton in the
back yard of house neac the corner of
Lake and Colorado streets in pool of
blood. They at once took him to DR..
Swearinger's Office down town.
An investigation showed that Newton
had in all % cuts In the face, neck and
body. The doctor put % stitches In the
face alone, and as many In the back of
the neck. 1t is doubtful if Newton will
recover. Harrington also was very bad
lv cut about the face and back, receiving
one large cash in the middle of the back,
and several smaller cuts about the face
and hands. Newton is so badly cut up
that he is unrecognizable. He was taken
to his home this morning, where he is
re sing easily. The three men who did
the cutting are still at large, but the Of
fcers expect to have them behind the
bars in a shcrt time.

STOCKTON. CAL, Feb. 20-Shortly be-
fore midnight last night fire broke out
in the Masonic temple and within few

Matters VII, he Deferred.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19-"I do not think
there will be any legislation at the
present session on the Pacific railways"
said one of the lobby of the Union Pacific
railroad system TO q correspondent last
evening. II think that Huntington aud
the Central Pacific railroad are indiffer-
ent about the matter and are Just as
willing to have the matter in congress
deferred. 1t will be barber for the
Union Pacific railroad than for any other
Senator Brice said to me he thought it
possible to secure an amendment to one
of the appropriation bills-.say, the sundry
civil oil, for instancs--to provide that
the roads may pay the principal of their
debt to the government aud be exempted
from the pay ment of interest as COM
promise. Still | have my doubts that
anything will be done. The reason why
the bill was defeated when the vote was
taken ON Boatner's resolution to recon-"
init was because some of the Democrats
passed the word around that no party
capital could be made out of the bill, and
therefore, action thereon should pe
postponed and let the Republicans meet
the issue. know that the night before
the vote was taken l made careful can-
vass of the enlire membership of the
house and was confident of clear
majority of at least 25 In favor of the

been defeated beyond the possibility OF
its revival"

bated ardor. In its fight against the
majority of Republican legislators this
Napolean of reform may voice the SEN
timents of the people; but it is that
portion that composed the Populist
party last summer, and not those who
voted at the polls for protection and

not be com plete until the state is
turned over to Democracy and Popu-
lism, and from the number of obstacles
it is encountering there appears little

Wants no More Ronds.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21-During discus
sieD in the senate on proposition to issue
bonds for increased sewerage in E3ash-
iogton, Allen declared the country had
gone mad. Every ybody, he SAID, wants
bonds issued except the Populists. Gar
lisle had ample authority to use millions
of silver now in the treasury, but he dog
pedIv refused to do so. He (Allen)
would not by his vote authorize Carlisle
to issue an interest bearing obligation.
He further asserted that every bond
issued by Carlisle was null and void,
lnasmuch as the act of January IA, 1875.
under which he claimed authority to issue
bonds had been repealed. He chara' ter
lied the recent attempt to pass free
coinage bill as "a grandstand play at a
spectacular performance" He expressed
the hope that before another year there
would be sufficient accessions to the
Populists from both of the old parties to
prevent the issuance of further bond.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

Frederick Douglass, the colored or

O., yesterday. He was apparently in
good health up to the hour of his
death, and was waiting for carriage
to convey him to woman suffrage
convention Mr.. Douglass YVES 70
years of age, and had an eventful
career Born a slave, of a colored
mother and white father, he escaped
into the north, and in time assumed
prominent part in the anti slavery
movement. Since the war he has oc-
cupied several important positions
under the government, and was presi-
d. ntial elector from the state of New
York in 1872. As a lecturer he al
ways attracted large audiences, and bis
earnestness Ia vindication of human
rights gave fiery eloquence to his
speeches. In England his oratory
aroused the masses against slavery, and
he was always greeted with large
houses. He was the particular
friend of the colored people in
this country, and perhaps his efforts
did more to give them proper under.
standing of citizenship in their alb
ject condition after emancipation than
all others combined. As prominent
character in the great anti-slavery
struggle in the United States, and as
an illustration of the possibilities of the
colored race, Frederick Douglas will
occupy lending position in American
history.

The Hayward Trial.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb, 19- Edward Good
sell, a Chicago dental student, was put op
the stand in the Hayward murder trial
todsy for redirect examination. He
testified that be had usually been Harry
Hayward's companion when he came to
Chicago to gamble, and had seen him
lose $1,000 at time.
Frank Erbart, who Was summoned by
his brother when the body was found,
swore he found in the dirt near where the
body lay the heel mark and then the toe
mark of lady's shoe. There was also q
trace of where the foot dragged to where
the body lay. This evidence went
show that Miss GIng's body was pushed
ou: of the buggy feet first instead of head
first, as Blixt testified.
George Grindall was an important
witness for the defense. He was
standing on First avenue, north, between
Fourth and Fifth streets. at Z o'clock or
thereabouis, Decem Der 8, the night of the
murder, Standing q short way from him
was a man "llke that man there" said
the witness, pointing to Attorney Sweet

ahd the man he had eeen waiting there
entered the buggy and they drove away {.
The description given by Grindall of the
man who joined her does not at all fit

EDIT0EIAL NOTES.

Benjamin Harrison was able to ex-
tend $25, 100000 ~ per cent bonds
three years ago at 2 per cent, but
Grover Cleveland has to pay 81 per
cent for the money he is borrowing
now, says the Globe Democrat. The
difference between Republican and
Democratic credit ordinarily is not
quite 80 great as this, but it is always
great enough to be noticeable.
When Harrison was inaugurated in
1889 the interest.hearing public debt
was $8S9. S54, $50, and when he retired
in 1898 it was only $585,029. 100
On February l, 1895, it had increased
to 1854, 323.7l0, and when the next
bonds are sold it will amount to $746,-
723,7l0. These figures tell a story
that the average citizen can easily
understand.
Hon. Geo. Fl, Williams has received
the vote of the boilers for the past
two days. This gentleman has been a
power in congress, is sound on the
financial question, and no doubt would
ably represent Oregon in the senate;
but his name was nrt before the peo-
pie of Oregon last June, and he did
not receive the caucus nomination.
The candidate of the majority, Mr..
Dulph, has both these requisites. and
therefore should be elected.
A Democratic orator said the other
day that "our Republican friends
turned over to Us bankrupt treasury
and the assignee has proved himself
thoroughly incompetent to manage the
estate" Fifty per cent. of this state
ment is true. The Republicans will
show the other half to To absurd when

Those PROVISIONS forbid under the penalty
of fine and imprisonment the unautbor-
lied killing of any fur seal within the ter
iltory of Alaska "or the waters thereof, :"
at any time, and prohibits all unauthor-
lied persons from entering the waters of

ence IS made to the forbidden zone
aronnd Pridvloff islands established by
the Paris tribunal, or the provision In the

OF seals outside that zone between May

Ten Negroes Drowned.

WAYcRoss. Ga, Feb. ia report from
Shirley says that 10 negroes were
drowned one day last week IN the Satilla
river at the bridge of the Florida Central
& Peninsular railroad.
The negroes were raftsmen. and were
on raft of cypress timber when they
almost frozen. Their faces, hands and
feet were frostbitten and their limbs were
so benumbed that they we're powerless IN
steering the raft. The freshet had
reached the hignesa mark, and the raft
became manageable. The negroes
were weak and hungry and could cot
stand up. Finally they grew desperate
and rolled off of the raft into the river
and tried to reach the shore. They were
unable to swim, so benumbed and
frozen we're their arms and legs. They
soon sank and their bedies were found
floating in the water few days after
ward.

A Young a.irl,s Brave Deed.

GREENPoRT, L. l, Feb. l0-Lllian
McMullen, 16 year. old orphan en-
ployed at the stock farm Of Joseph Fahy
was drowned yesterday afternoon while
crossing Peconic bay on the Ice. between
North Haven and Shelter island.
Since The recent blizzard the people of
North Haven, who go to Shelter island to
do their trading, have been obliged to
walk over on the ice or remain at home,
as the ferry boats were frozen in. During
the mild weather of Saturday and
Sunday the ice became thin IN places
where the tide runs swiftly. Yesterday
Lillian whose relatives live In New York,
lost her life while making the trip, but
she died a heroine.
With her when she set out upon her
journey, were the 10 and 8 year old
daughters of Superintendent Gordon of
the stock farm. The three were trudgi2g
merriiy along on their way home from
the Island, having crossed the bay in
safety few hours before. When half
way between the island and North Haven
Lillian stepped in an air hole which was
covered with snow and a thin, covering
of ice.
The two children FASTENED to her
assistance, and they, too, fell through,
and Lillian, instead of trying TO get out
herself, gave her attention to the little
ones. She bravely grasped the rough
edges of the Ice and held on until the
children climbed to her shoulders and
thence on the ice. Then she warned
them not TO come near her again.
Lillian had become chilled and was hardly
able 10 move after she had placed the
children in safety. She struggled to pull
herself out, but her strength soon failed
her and she sank out Of sight. The body
will probably be carried out to Gardner's
bay by the strong current.
The children rushed home and related
their terrible experience to their parents,
and Mr.. Gordon went at once to the scene
of the drowning girl, but was unable to
find any trace of the body.
