A Specimen of the Manner in which

Padding Instead of News
NEW YORK, April 20.-The World
this morning says:
"The Prince OF Wales has visited
America only once add that was in
1860. From time to time there
have been reports that he intended
coming again. 1t is impossible to
imagine the glory which would il
Illuminate Newport should the
royal gentleman appear there. The
The splendOr would prOpably eX-
coed anything that this country
has known. Still New York dis
played no end of enthusiasm when
the Prince visited the city in Octo-
Der, 1860. That is always recalled
as a tremendous event. The Prince
reached America on the man-ot-
war Hope, landing at st. Johns, n.
F. He was accompanied by the
Duke OF Newcastle, Lord st. Ger
mains, General Prince and General
Teesdale. There was tremendous
enthusiasm throughout Canada.
In Quebec 10000 people met him.
He laid corner stones and was high
ly entertained.
"President Buchanan invited
him to visit the United States. He
consented to come as Baron Rem
frew. He went to Chicago and
shot prairie chickens. He visited
Boston, Philadelphia, Richmond
and Washington. He took off his
hat beside Washington's tomb and
planted chestnut tree there.
"The Prince was pleasant, slen-
dor youth Of 10 when he entered
New York as the guest Of the cor
poratiOn.
"The young Prince made himself
immensely popular in the United
States, and President Buchanan
wrote a letter to the Queen saying
how the young man won his re-

Dynamited the Foreman.

UKIAH, Cal, April 2O.-Ben Sew
erance, foreman for the l.. E.White
Lumber company, narrowly es-
capped death last evening by the
explosion of dynamite. A Swede
named Abrams was ordered out Of
camp and blamed Severance for
the order. After the foreman had
retired for the night, Abrams Sc
cured a stick OF dynamite and
placed it under the cot occupied by
Severance. The explosion blew
Severance up to the ceiling and
wrecked the house. The injuries to
the foreman are not dangerous,
but pending the ascertainment Of
this fact, preparations are being
made by the woodsmen to take the
law in their own hands. Abrams
is now in Jail.

FISH INSTEAD OF FLESH.
Meat is so High In Chicago That
the Poor Folks go a Fishing
For Food

the Poor Folks go Fishing
For Food.
CHICAGO, April 2O.-Along the
lake shore for miles yesterday were
hundreds of men, women and
children fishing. They were not
desultory anglers out for sport. In
some cases entire families were out
and in the evening they went home
with strings of fish enough for a
number of meals. Otherwise they
must have been content with bread
and potatoes.
Chimes were hard enough before
meat went up" said man going
home with a string OF perch. 81
cannot afford to buy meat any
more and so | have been fishing
for several days. My family can't
live on bread and potatoes alone,
they must have something solid
and we cannot afford to pay the
high prices asked for meat, so |
aud my two boys have been fish
ing"
The rise in the prices OF meat
has seriously affected the poorer
people Of the city. People in bet
ter circumstances do not mind
paying few additional cents a
pound for beef steak, but it means
much to a workingman supporting
a large family.

NOT ABLE TO PROVE UP.
That Immense Claim Under Spanish
Land Grants Not Teuable


Land Grants Not Tenable
New YORK, April 2O.-Judgr w.
F. Stone, Of the Court Of Private
Land Claims, and Seveo Mallet-
Precost, special assistant attorney
general, returned from Spain,
where they have been making an
investigation into the archives OF
Madrid and Seville for evidence to
refute the claims Of James Addison
Peralta Reeves, of San Francisco.
The latter claims from the United
States in behalf of his wife, who is
a Paralta, upwards of 100000
acres Of land in Mexico and Arizo-
ma. 1t was contended that this
property was granted by King
Phillip VI, King Ferdinand and
King Charles III. of Spain to
Baron Miguel Peralta de La Cor
dova, who went to Mexico in 1880
as one Of the commissioners of the
Spanish crown. He was Mrs.
Reaves' great grandfather. Judge
Stone says the government will be
in position to contest the claims
as the result Of the examination
into the Spanish documents. The
value OF the grant claimed by Mrs.
Reaves is over $lOOOO0,0O0. 1t en-
braces a region of country in Ari-
iona 40 by $50 miles in extent.

presented the complainant. Har-

UNION PACIFIC CHANGE.
Proposes to Run Its Eastern Trains
via Cheyenne and Give the
Gulf the Go-By.

DENVER, Colo, April 2O.-It is
said the Union Pacific has decided
to run it's through trains to the
east via Cheyenne instead Of over
the Julesburg line which is oper-
ated by the Gulf road. | t IS
charged that the Gulf has violated
its agreement with the Union
Pacific by delivering freight to the
Burlington at Sterling. The mat
ter is said to be well under discus
sion between the management and
hopes are entertained that the
differences may be patched up
Tho Union Pacific controls the
road between the Denver and La
Sale and if a settlement is not
reached, the Gulf will be left with
long stretch of track between La
Sale and Julesburg with no con-
neCtiOns and would be obliged to
build from Denver into La Sale.
Although the distance via Chey-
enne is considerably greater than
by the Julesburg line, the Union
Pacific claim the trains will make
just as good time between Denver
and the east as those of any other
road.

Ex-Gov. Waite Shakes the Pops.

CHICAGO, April 2O.-A special
from Denver says:
"Ex-Gov. Waite has gone back on
the Populist Women's League and
taken sides with those Of his party
who assisted in the election of a
Republican ticket in Denver this
spring. There were two meetings
last night and the result was that
the ex-governor cast his lot with
eX-ot1ice holders. The ex-governor
came out openly against the party
machine, which he said was run
in the interest OF the disgruntled
Populists by his enemies. Hence
forth ex-Gov. Waite will be recog-
nized as Republican by the party
which he served to elevate into
prominence"

tered by Senator Spencer, in the
explanation of his vote upon the
general appropriation bill,was pro-
n0unccd by all who heard it to be
the most remarkable sentiment
given expression to by any senator
during the present session. 1t all
came about in this way: Duluth
wanted normal school and Sc
cured the passage of law estab-
fishing one in that city, but max
ing no appropriation for it. The
Duluth members in the House
secured the insertion in the gener-
al appropriation bill Of an item of
$4,000 for starting the building,
but in the Senate, after a hard
fight, it was stricken out, and Sem
ator Spencer, in the course OF his
speech Of explanation, used the
above words. Other Duluthians in
the city do not agree with him.

The accident to Nubar Pasha, the

GOES NAKtD ON THE DESERT.
An Educated Prospactor Whose
Range is the Pacific Coast.

II. I. Townsend in Los Angeles
Times: Up in Bear valley, two sum-
mers ago, / came across camp
where a thin bearded, bronzed man
Of about 80 was cutting wood before
a small "a" tent. In the tent were
many scientific works, including a
set Of Encyclopedia Britannica. En-
gaging him in conversation, i found
he was prospector who had come
in from the desert to let his burros
rest and fatten on the grass. He
had come down from Pahrumph
valley, across the burning desert
in the hottest part of the summer.
81 stopped at Vanderbilt" said he,
"and made several locations, one OF
which l think will prove valuable,
but got tired and moved on, and
am now on my way toward Southern
Arizona"
asked him how he liked the
desert and he replied that he liked
it better than any other place. "See,"
said he, as he flung open the front
OF his shirt, IL wear no clothing
when on the desert" His breast was
deep copper color, even to his
armpits, and fully bore out his state
ment. His conversation proclaimed
him to be an educated man, and he
said his books were q part of his
camp outfit, and accompanied him
wherever he went. He volunteered
no other information regarding him
self, and his bearing was such as to
preclude any questioning, but have
often wondered what could have
caused him to choose such q mode
OF life. OF one thing am sure; he
will follow no other.
