The I.anrunre of Signs.

A young provincial, newly arrived in Paris, got into dispute with a boulevardier who prided himself on his fine manners. The Parisian, wishing to carry of the thing with a high hand. pulled glove from his pocket and throw it at the stranger. The latter, astonished, inquired the meaning of the action. When 1t was explained to him that throwing a glove was equivalent to a slap in the face, the young provincial sat down, grsvely drew off ono of his boots and threw it at the back of his opponent.-Boston Traveller.

That Deadly Dynamite Bomb Proved Co be Black Powder, and There
 Was No Robbery

The incident of Thursday nights explosion along side the s. F., P. x
 r. Railroad, near Wickenburg, was given flaming head lines in the Phe- nix papers, and was referred to as an attempt to hold up the train. This, despite the fact that the man who undertakes to throw bomb at a train moving thirty-fve or forty miles an hour, takes greater risk of blowing himself up than he does of damaging the train, as he, of neces- sity, must time hls fuse to a fraction of second, and that fraction of n second is liable to blow him into kingdom come.
 The Herald of last evening, how ever, thoroughly explodes the train robber theory, as the explosion was not that of a bomb at all. The Herald says:
 "Sheriff Orme and his deputies returned last evening from the at tempted hold up on the S. F, P. X P. road, and report that no hold up was attempted. They found that some section men had been working on the track and had left a couple of half empty kegs of black powder alongside the track, which had been exploded from sparks from the en- zine, and it was only the excited imagination of the trainmen and passengers that made an attempted hold up out of the accidental ex- plosion of the powder"
 Deputy Sheriff Munds, who also went out to help run the robbers to earth, returned to Prescott last even | ing, and he says that there was only | a small amount of gun powder left | on piece of paper on hand car l that exploded. The section men | had been shooting quail and left the | powder there.

CALIFORNIA FORESTS.
Eot likely Ever Co Give Out. Bccaass
 They Are Reproductive.

 They Are Reproductive.
 The native forests of California
 arc marked by two peouliarities
 wherein they differ widely from
 those of most other countries, and
 in which peculiarities the inhabit-
 ants of this state are assured against
 the occurrence of anything like a timber dearth hereafter. In the first place, more than three-fourths of our heavily timbered lands consist of mountains too elevated and rug. ged to ever be worth much for agriculture or grazing; wherefore, if stripped of their forests, tho latter will be permitted to grow up again. In tho second place, when in this state the original forests are cut away, they reproduce themselves with such certainty and rapidity that in the course of a single gener- ation the young trees attain size sufficiently large to ronder them of economic use, this being rarely the case elsewhere
 That portion of the Sierra Nevada and the northern coast range that tor the reason stated, may be re- garded as a perpetual timber re- serve. covers a holt fully 400 miles long by 75 broad, an area equal to 30. 900 square miles. This may be considered q domain 6eloated to the use of the future Both here and in the redwood forests, covering nt tho Least 2, 500 0oC aCIJs, i..s Er., yTsHlN being cut away, ts- rua- r spying up nnd rsJw ,.tl s
 tonishing rapidi;y ;..i. s i protected, tho ti. uer us kept nearly up ,- despite the Ee.s-
 meantime.
 While only su.a
 these redwood ts.c s
 mountains prc,a r g gt....y occupy Is for tAc I.u., Ie.t sa l ken and uneven. b-Ia.s le9y,a-,,, t5 numerous ravines auj ysGy uns, Chat not much of it wlli over be cleared and kept so for tho usc of tho farm CT, the stock man or the fruit grow or, though tho soil is nearly every where rich Even where the land is comparatively level, the trees hay ing been cut down, it costs a great deal to remove the stumps, so enor- nous and deep rooted are these. For breaking them up and hoisting their fragments out of the ground re- course to dynamite is frequently had, this with sometimes the aid of tho stump machine, and always the use of fire, being the agencies re- sorted to for dispossessing these troublesome tenants of the land. Loft to itself, the redwood stump at once begins to send up shoots around It's entire periphery, these growing up and in process of time showing as many trees standing in circle as can manage to live and reach matur- ity.
 In this tendency to reproduction no other tree equals tho redwood, its as manifested in this respect being sometimes astonishing. Ifonly man will second its efforts in this di- rection to the extent of guarding the young trees for few years until they can get fair start, they will l afterward be able to take care of no ordinary fire sufioing to destroy them after this. As for the full grown trees, these are apt to suffer no material injury, except l in case of a great oonhagration. as where & fire, having been started in the dry season, happens to be famed by strong wind.-Wood and Iron.

\ convention of western editors was held in Salt Lake on August P and 2S. The delegates numbered about POO, representing nineteen states and territories. Among other things discussed by the convention was arid lands and irrigation, the law of libel and the relation of news papers. An organization, composed of newspaper men west of the Mis- souri river, was formed. The next session will be held in Denver, Colo rado, next year. In addition to the business transacted at this conven- ton, the delegates enjoyed a remark ably pleasant trime, as the citizens of Salt Lake turned the town over to the editors and entertained them in a royal manner. The side issues of the convention consisted of con cert in the Tabernacle, at which Salt Lakes celebrated choir of 300 voices appeared, a trip to Saltair, where the delegates took 8 bath in Great Salt Lake and a banquet and ball was given in the immense pa vilion located there. All went away we'll pleased with the result of the convention and more than pleased with the reception accorded them by the people of Salt Lake. The idea of holding such a convention, originated with the Utah press as sociation, and the success it met with was due to the efforts of the mem- bers of that body and more particu- larly to the indefstigable and un- tiring work of it's corresponding A. B. Tomson.

NEW YORK, Sept. Is. Cuban SYM
patihzers in this city said last night
that Mexico will recognize the

on private dispatches received from the

the recognition of the Cuban insurgents
and that the other South American states
will follow rapidly.
L. Estrada Palma, president of the pro-

a card in which he says that reports Of
agents of the junta cnlisting men in this
country for service in Cuba arc false, and
that ''The Cuban junta shall not know

Moreover, the Cuban revolution is in no
need of men. What it needs is arms and

far are supplied with no other weapon than
the machete. Arms and ammunition the
junta can buy within the law and will do

an English alliance with the United States
by which the English speaking people and
English institutions would be dominant
In the future development of the east.
Lord Kimberly opened the negotiations
with Mr.. Gresham, but the latter an
swered that it was against the policy of
the United States to enter into foreign
alliances. The subject was not pushed by
Great Britain. If il had been there is rca-
son to believe that Lord Kimberly could
have made it clear to Mr.. Gresham that
the proposed alliance was something quite
different from anything which had re-
solved itself into policy
This talk of English union-the word
English being used in the broad sense to
embrace the United States and Great
Britain-was recently discussed in n some
what similar spirit by four distinguished
gentlemen here in Washington. 1t was mt
u dinner given by Baron Fava, the Italian
ambassador, about tho time that Great
Britain landed troops ut Corinto. Baron
Fava's guests included General Schofield,
commander Of the United States army;
Rev. Alexander Mckay Smith, a leading
Episcopal clergyman of this city, and Sir
Julian Pauncefote. the British ambassa-
dor. There was much excitement at that
time over the Corinto affair. and the talk
turned naturally to that subject
Before they closed the topic they had
agreed that English union was the surest
way TO the progress and upbuilding of the
English-spcaking race. Rev. Mckay
Smith believed that this could best be
brought about by n treaty of peace and
arbitration under which the United States
and Great Britain would agree that any
future difference should I've adjusted by
arbitration and that neither nation should
ever declare war against the other. Sir
Julian declared that such a proposition
would be hailed with satisfaction in Great
Britain He said it could be put through
parliament very speedily and with almost
unanimous public approval.
But he added. he did not believe that
the United States would ever countcnance
such plan. The anti-English sentiment
in the United States was far too strong to
allow OF any union with Great Britain.
He said EnRlishmen were at loss to I'M
derstand this intense bitterness. 1t was
attributed in part to politics and in part
TO the American sympathy with the Irish
cause of home rule. But whatever il is
Sir Julian felt that England was ready for
the union and America was not. He be-
lieved, however. that such q union would
ultimately be made and that il would
make the English race all powerful the
world over General Schoficld's views were
along the same line.
