Senator Allison, one of the republic
cans spoken of as a possible nominee
for the Presidency, is on recent record
as in favor of silver coinage at the ratio
of sixteen to one, that is of giving the
owners of the silver mines one dollar for
every half dollars worth of their pro-
duct. If republicans were like demo
Gratis. they would be as much at odds
as the democrats are on the silver ques-
ton, but as the object for which they
are striving is the Presidency, and as
they allow nothing to come between
them and what they want, the former
yer, or any other question, will not pre-
vent them from giving him their solid
support.-Aler. Gazette.
There was very good reason why the
United States should not interfere to
prevent Great Britain from collecting
indemnity from Nicaragua for injuries
alleged to have been inflicted upon
British subjects. In 1866 the United
States government sent naval expedi-
ton to the capital of Paraguay and
compelled the payment of an indemnity
to the family of an American seaman
who had been killed. In 1860, Secre
tary Seward when Great Britain,
France and Spain were about to make
demands upon Mexico for the i'll treat
ment of the persons and property of
the subjects of these three powers,
wrote that 1.-The president does not
question that the sovereigns represent
ed have the undoubted right to decide
for themselves the fact whether they
have sustained grievances and to resort
to war against Mexico for the redress
thereof" In 1866, when Spain and
Chill were at war, the latter appealed
to the United States in the name of the
Monroe doctrine to prevent the bonn
bardment of Valparaiso. Secretary
Seward replied that the ''United States
government will not consider itself
bound to take part in war into which
South American republic may enter
with European sovereign when the
object of the latter is not the establish
ment in place of subverted republic
of monarchy under European
prince"
These are precedents which justify
this government in refusing its aid to
Nicaragua in the trou BILE which it has
brought upon itself.-Indec- appeal.

A Protracted Rain.

There was an almost continuous fall of gen.
tie rain here from Saturday evening till after
midnight of Monday.
As rain was needed, and as this was not only
plenteous rain but so gentle as not to run
/ off, bnt penetrate the soil, it was welcomed
gratefully by the farmers especially, who will
be greatly benefited thereby. Should the
weather now be warm, vegetation will grow
rapidly, and the trees will soon be crowned
with foliage.
The warm weather of last week, by evapora
ton, filled the air with moisture, and the COO
weather from Saturday to Monday night con
densed it into rain. When the weather be-
came warmer, the rain ceased er ,,ecessitate rel

THE BIG SHOW COMING

Mr.. Geo. H. Robinson, General Contracting
Agent of the Great Wallace Shows, was in the
city Monday, arranging for the Big Shows,
which will exhibit here June 5th Mr.. Robin
son, who is one of the oldest and best known
agents in the circus business, having been
identified with the large shows of the country
for twenty-five years past, informs the SPEC
TAToR that the expenses of the great Wallace
Shows run.from S.. 10000 to "a ,0OOG0 per day,
the larger part of which sum is expended in
the city where they exhibit. This is a tidy
figure, and in dull times like these the show
should be eagerly welcomed and literally pat
ronized by all classes of the community.
The Modern "Big Circus is an institution
peculiar to America. The old world shows
are small comparatively, and the mammoth
concerns we have are thoroughly characteristic
of our country and our people, and even if the
lion on the fence is sometimes bigger than the
lion in the cage, no man visiting the up to-
date Tnree-Ring Circus has ever been heard
to s ~ he did not get his moneys worth over
| and over again. Long may the Great Ameri-'
can Circus wave, and continue to delight and
dazzle the young and the old with its multi
tudinous monopoly of all that is magnificent
| and marvellous on this mundane sphere" to
borrow the language of the posters.

, ELECTRICIAN WATKINS OPINION.

ELECTRICIAN WATKINS OPINION.
His Idea About the Felts Primary Bat
tery-A Wonderful Discovery.
Further inquiry into the merits of the
Felts primary battery brought on con-
versation with City Electrician r. Wat
kins, who has charge of the Sacramento
fire alarm system, for which he uses a
very large battery. His ideas about the
Felts battery, which is awakening much
attention and creating widespread interest
because the whole electrical world is
searching for the most economic prl-
mary battery possible, are OF interest.
Mr.. Watkins said, in response 20 in
Qulry as to his examination of Professor
Felts' batteries: Il think they are the
best, as they are the only real constant
batteries in the world. Up to the time OF
Felts' discovery there was no such thing
as a constant battery. We have il, on
the authority and in the language of the
Scientific AnteicdIl, that there is no such
thing as a constant battery; they all re-
quire great deal of care and attention.
IL have Investigated Professor Felts'
discovery in all its details, and find it
what it is represented to be in the state
ments thus lar published in the RECORD
UNION.
There are two types of the Felts bat
LoIlSS-O1S AOI I4SALluSs 6l6CbIO-plALlDS e
medical purposes and all other uses
where amperage or quantity of current is
required; the other battery is perfectly
adapted to telegraphic and telephone
work.
The initial cost of these batteries is less
than any single and two-huid batteries
IN use, while the running cost is but
a small per cent. of the expense necessary
to keep other batteries in good running
order.
while l did not witness the test of the
constancy and duration of current from
the telts batteries as by Mr.. Fogelsang
an account of which was published in
the RECORD UNION of the 23d inst, yet
from my familiarity with the principles
OF the batteries, as well as my confidence
in the integrity of Mr.. Fogalsang,
haven't the slightest doubt but that abso-
Lutte constancy of current was maintained
for twenty days and nights, as repre-
e sented.
THE other test spoken of in the same
article came under my observation. l
assisted in changing the cells, sealed up
the box into which they were placed
and was with Professor Felts when he
placed them in the business Office
OF the RECORD UNION, where they were
connected up to galvanometers.
'As to the waste of zinc for the con-
tinuous run of five days and nights, the
published statement of the druggist,
@. j. Peters, who weighed the zines be-
fore and after using, may be relied upon
as correct.
"As whole, regard the discovery as
one Of the greatest of this century. Pro-
fessor Felts has undoubtedly discovered
perfect sxcitant and depolarizer COM
bined.
"The value of the discovery can hardly
be estimated, in view of the fact that the
Felts battery will ultimately supplant all
other kinds in use, which is saying
nothing about furnishing a battery for
lighting. This battery alone may be
made to yield millions of dollars in divi-
dends. In the hands of large capital, the
discovery as whole can be made one of
the most profitable Investments known
TO the commercial world"

Ah Keung's Contempt for the Ameri-
can Mans Oath-Continuation
of the Wiley Case.

All Keung, q Chinaman who was ar
rested for selling lottery tickets in a
room in the rear of 804 K street. occupied
by w. II. II. Wiley as cigar store, is in
danger of being sent to State Prison for
perjury.
He pleaded guilty in the Police Court
on Saturday to having sold lottery tick
cts, and his sentence was postponed until
this morning.
After the case was disposed of that Of
Wiley, for keeping place where lottery
tickets were sold, was taken up. The
Chinsman just convicted was the first
witness for the prosecution. He denied
having sold lottery ticket to anybody,
Notwithstanding the fact that he had
pleaded guilty. Even if he had not done
so he would have been convicted, as he
was caught in the act by Officer Bagley
and another person.
Justice Davis was amazed at the China
mans audacity, and as soon as the latter
concluded his testimony he was ordered
into custody for false swearing.
ii. L. Buckley, Willey's attorney,
asked that the latter case be dismissed on
the ground that the complaint was de-
fective. 1t alleged that the otfense was
committed In 1889, and Buckley insisted
that prosecution was barred by the
statute of limitations.
City Attorney Brown, who had made
the mistake in drawing up the complaint,
said the date was not i'm mportant. He said
that although the date was wrong in the
body of the complaint, the correct date,
April %. 1895, was plainly written on the
face of it.
The case was taken under advisement
until this morning.

REALIZES THE DANGER.
Another Sacramento Paper Speaks for

From the Sunday News.1
Our morning contemporary is doing
good work in battling against the peril
GUS resumption of hydraulic mining, and
its facts and figures are incontrovertible.
San Francisco is aiding and abetting the
dangerous business for the trade that it
may bring, but mora injury can be done
by one year of hydraulicking than
twenty years of such trade could COM
pensate. We think that if the people of
Sacramento, and even of the cities reliant
upon the hart of San Francisco, includ-
ing the metropolis itself, were to realize
the danger that the resumption of hy-
draulicking portends, there would be
such popular uprising that tho peril
