FIESTA De Los ANGELES.
INDICATIONS THAT THE CARNIVAL
WILL BE A SUCCESSFUL
EVENT
SALT LAKE WILL SEND Handsome
FLOAT FOR THE BIG
PARADE

Los ANGELES, March 12.-Popular sub
scriptions to the Fiesta fund have reached
a total of $12,287 50. The information re-
ceived from San Francisco that the mer-
chants there are making ready to send
down floats for the carnival was gratifying
to the committees, and following this in
formation comes news that Salt Lake City
also desires to be represented in the pa
geant. The citizens of the latter city have
written for instructions as to the manner
of securing a place, and they promise to
send at least one float.
Chinese merchants, who furnished such
a splendid display last year, notified the
committees to-day that they had collected
money to pay the expenses of their parade
and that they could be expected to make a
good showing in the procession.

emanated from the IA DAD combine of San
Francisco.
Then there was case of unblushing
record. The Biggy amendment was put to
a vote and this is the way that the Senators
voted:
Ayes-Beard, Bert, Biggy, Burke, Fay Gesford,
Holloway, Langford, Mathews, McAllister, Sea-
we'll, Smith, VOORHEES,, Withington-14.
Noes-Aram, Arms, Androus, Denison, Dunn,
Flint, Hart, Henderson, Hoyt, Linder, Maho-
ney, MCGOWAN, Mitchell, Orr, Seymour, Shine,
Simpson, Toner-1S.
Declined to vote or absent-Earl, Ford,
Franck, Gleeves, Martin, Pedlar, Shippee,
Whitehurst-S.
Senator Biggy made another attempt to
amend section q the purpose of which,
was to prevent railroads from charging
more than five cents for street fares.
The amendment was voted down q to
II. Then he sought to strike out the word
general in the second section, but this
was voted down 20 to IL.
Senator McAllister introduced an amend
ment striking out all that portion of the
section referring to San Francisco, so that
the McCoppin act would still stand. The
amendment was lost. Then Senator Biggy
made one last effort to save the city of San
Francisco from the street railway COM
bine assault. He asked that section 8, the
section which repeals the McCoppin act,
be stricken out.
"That keeps the fare at cents" said he.
eff you want to raise it to 10 cents vote for
it."
Senator McAllister declared that section
was not in the original bill. 1t was the
committee substitute. ''Where did this

Senator McAllister said he was satisfied
that such was the case, but he did not want
to accuse any one rashly. This is the
worst of the bad legislation said he. "Do

Il Young Mans Criminal Career Checked
at Its Beginning.
SAN BERNARDINo, March ia career of
forgery was cut short here to-day by the
arrest of w. W. Sarber, young man
barely of age. Yesterday he forged the
name of A. n. Younglove, a prominent
citizen of Riverside, to a check for SIS on
the First National Bank of Riverside. He
had made the acquaintance of prominent
railroad people here, and with the indorse-
ment of one of them got check cashed by
bank here.
He then forged check for $75 on a San
Bernardino bank and presented it to-day
to the First National Bank of Riverside.
1t happened at the same moment that
the first forged check came back to River
side through the mails, and the cashier
noticing the similarity of the chirography
detained Sarber and sent for an officer.
Sarber broke down and made a full con-
fession. He claims that this is his first

DEFEAT OF A SENATE AMENDMENT
TO THE ASSEMBLY MEASURE.

SACRAMENTO, March 12.-The attempt to
impose an unjust insurance bill on the
State was beaten in the Assembly this
morning. Dinkelspiel introduced and OBJ

eign insurance companies should deposit
100000 in bonds with the Treasurer of the
State. The Senate inserted the word
fire, y which would exclude all marine in
surance companies from the provisions OF
the bill.
The House refused to concur in the
amendment by an overwhelming vote. The
bill will undoubtedly pass in its original
form,

by shooting at his brother Sheldon, then
at his brothers wife and then at the wife's
mother, Mrs. Adams, but fortunately his
aim was poor and he missed them.
The reason of the shooting is said to be
that Frank considered his brother Sheldon
had disgraced the family by marrying Miss
Adams and to get out of the difficulty he
proposed to kill his brother and his wife
and then shoot the mother-in-iaw on gen.
eral principles.

himself with knife. They intend to show

THE exiled President of Salvador, now
in San Francisco, says he has but one
thing for which to live. and he prays
that it may be accomplished before his
summons comes, namely, the union of
all the Central American States. We
believe that if he has the ordinary lease of
life his wish will be gratified. Certainly
the chief influences operating upon the
States now tend towards unity, feder-
alton that will be strong and indissolu-
bic; federation that will remove the
causes for internecine war that tear
these unhappy commonwealths every
few months. namely the ambitions of
INSCRIPTIONS men. For, under feder-
alton to which the States are now drift
ing, there will be set up a system that
will render personal and warlike ambi
tons least among political influences

the very fact that there are numerous
united communities whose interests
have been so long distinct will tend to
check the ambitions of leader in any
one of them to be leader over all. The
ballot will be the weapon then instead
of the bullet. American ideas ale push
ing into Central America; American in
terests are expanding there; the COM
mercial relations between the States and
the great republic are more and more
knitting in with Central American in-
terests, and therefore it cannot be very
long before these influences will be
manifest in broader general conceptio N
of the purposes of Government among
the Central Americans. In fact all the
evidences point toward comparatively
early Central American federation.

IT was all we'll to hang three MUIR
very bad for the newspapers to give
pages and columns to accounts of the
hanging, and to accompany the same
with portraits of the murderers and
pictures of scenes at the execution.
All such publication tends to undo
the very thing that the law commanding
private executions sought to do, namely,
to take away the dramatic character Of
the death of the condemned, to make the
death penalty the more feared by depriy-
ing it of opportunity for the criminal to
pose as hero; to take from it opportu-
nifty for Misunderstanding that species of pride
indicated in the declaration of the con-
demned that he "dies game" In France
the condemned man is at oncs seques-
tered; from the moment of his sentence
he is practically civilly dead; his very
name is obliterated and mere number
takes its place. He does not know the
day nor the hour when he is to die. He
is not allowed to talk to reporters or to
receive the visits of any one save
his near kindred and his priest. In all
ways he is deprived of the opportunity to
make his execution rebound to his
courage, and to pose as a martyr. The
consequence is that in France the scaffold
is a degradation, not rostrum for dis
play; death under the law there is a
thing abhorred. because it is made in all
ways ignominious, and is not permitted
to serve as stimulant to crime. Only in
the execution is public.
