..Aud the Grasshoppers Came .

Ever since the frost was finally out OF
the ground, incessa Mt warfare has been
waged between man and the insect world
for the dominion OF the earth, which the
former has had hard struggle to retain.
Battalions OF potato bugs, bugaio bugs
and worms with strong predictions Tor
the different fruits and vegetables, have
been successfully met and conquered. and
now grasshoppers innumerable, in light
marching order, have arrived and as for
aging party, exhibit skill and INFINITE
resource that would make them an inval-
liable ad junct to any army.
They cover the face OF the whole earth
SO that when one walks abroad, the land
seems to be darkened with them, and
their appetites are as good as in the days
when Pharaoh hardened his heart. They
also fill the houses, and the main object
OF their being is evidently to devour the
residue OF that which escaped the other
devastating hordes.
Thick darkness has no terrors for the
people OF Randolph--they have walked in
It too long-and few Of them can pa
tiently endure flies, and even lice; but
whether it blew from the east or from the
west, it was an i'll wind, every one agrees,
that brought this last plague upon US.

STILL AMONG THE MISSING
Mystery of Wheat Deal of
Fairs Clearing Up
ADMISSION MADE BY ANGUS
The Multi. Millionaire Furnished the
Money
Disappearance of the Bookkeeper of ncGlau.in
and One of His Books Cuts an
Important Figure

SAN FRANCISCO, May Nothing
has yet been heard of the whereabouts
of Bookkeeper Charles S. smith, employee
of the grain brokerage firm of McGaufin
& Co., who disappeared last Sunday.
There is a suspicion that his disappear
ance is due to inquiries regarding the
Fair wheat deal.
James S. Ausng, Fairs confidential
man, has admitted that the dead mill
lonaire furnished McGlaufln & Co. funds
with which to purchase the wheat now
stored in the Port Costa warehouses.
He has stated. so it is said, that in some
instances McGlaufin & Co. presented
written orders signed by Fair. and in
other instances they came with verbal
orders for money. When their verbal
orders were given Angus always Went to
Fair. and asked him if it was all right,
and upon receiving the reply that it was,
the money called for was paid over.
When the attorne rs for Mrs. Oelrichs
and Virginia Fair commenced their in
qulry as to how much of the eX- senator's
money had been invested in wheat. Mr..
Angus made no objection to Mr.. Lloyd
looking over his books, but when it came
to comparing entries in the accounts of
Mr.. Angus with the accounts of Nc
Glauf1in & Co. there was q mysterious dis
appearance of Bookkeeper Smith and an
account book OF the year the big wheat
deal deal was being engineered disap-
peared with him.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RIVALS
Protest Against the Building of Big Bridge
at Sacramento

SACRAMENTO. May IA protest was
made tonight by the Sacramento Trans
portation company. rivals of the South
ern Pacihc's river service, against the
granting of permission to the latter COM
pany to construct a steel drawbridge
across the Sacramento river between this
city and Washin gton. Iolo county. The
Southern Pacific company has been pre-
pairing to build a $3.50. 600 bridge with an
overhead wagonway. and recently ap-
piled to Ma jor Heuer. United States en-
gineer. for permission. Heuer gave notice
that any objection thereto should be filed
by the 4th OF May. The protestants claim
tllat as the proposed site of the bridge is
100 yards farther down the river than the
present bridge they will be restricted in
maneuvering their boats, but the South
eln Pacific company operates larger
steam boats than its rivals. The city trus-
tees were tonight asked to object to the
construction of the bridge and they set
the matter for hearing tomorrow morn
ing. This movement at the last moment
is a surprise to the public. as it was sup
posed the change of site was generally
approved.

THE POLICY OF DECENcY

After the usual process of diplomacy an
assurance comes from Spain that an apol-
ogy will be offered for the Alliance affair
and that the Spanish captain will be duly
and formally tried for his offense. This
will satisfy everybody save perhaps the
jingoists who demanded an apology with
out investigation. In following the usual
lines of diplomacy the United States has
acted with dignity and accomplished its
object. kansas City Star.
In the international incident referred
to by our contemporary the admnstra-
tion of President Cleveland was guided
by the same principles that have directed
it's conduct in all the other relations or
dealings it has had with foreign govern
ments. No administration in the history
of the country, unless it be Secretary
Seward S. has encountered SO many diplo.
matte difficulties. and each and every
one them has been handled with dignity
and lofty craftsmanship that recalls the
days of American statecraft previous to
the war. Mr.. Cleveland and his secretary
of state have pursued the only policy a
country can afford to have pursued, that
Of firmly standing for the rights of the
United States, and with frankness and
honesty recognizing those of other coun-
tries.
Only small proportion of the people

iton. bluster and braggadoco.

HAVANA, May 1.-Lieutenant Gallego,

and turned over to the military authori-
ties .lere, was, after trial by courtmartial,
sentenced to be shot.
This sentence was carried out today in

Gallego of the Peninsuar regiment, who
was recently tried by the courtmartial
and shot at Santigo de Cuba for allowing
the rebels to surprise him in saloon in
Juragua City.
Marshal de Campos has issued pro-
clamation in which he says it is the first
time in the history OF his military life
that he has known Spanish officer to be
executed as coward.
The captain-general in order to give
work to the unemployed and thus pre-
vent any discontented and idle persons
from joining with the rebels, has
ordered the commencement of mum Der

result in material benefits to the island

chairman Alhanca some weeks ago, has
been sent to Havana and placed on duty
in the office of the marine commandant,
and that this designation is intended to
be Il promotion, provokes the following
retort from Senior Dupuy de LONE, the
Spanish minister at Washington:
Pro motions in our navy go by strict

received from Madrid repuke and not a

The Venadito is not gunboat, as she
has been usually characterized. She is Il

naval review two years ago. Owing to
the temporary absence OF her commander,
Lieutenant Harra was in command.

MEXICO BEING SHAKEN UP
Old CoIima Is Splitting Fire and Mach
Smoke
Earthquakes Also Threaten the Natives
and There Is Great Terror Among the
Popu.ace in the Republic

MANZANILLO, Colima, Mexico, May
1.-The glare from the eruption of the
volcano Colima, over sixty miles in the
interior. is plainly seen at this port and
other points along the Pacific coast at
night. The country for hundreds of miles
around the fiery mountain furnace is
lighted up with a wierd glare, which
makes it possible to read fine print for
many miles from the point of disturb
anCe.
The fires broke forth visibly above the
brink of the volcano over Il week ago, but
as the mountain is practically always in
a mild state of eruption no particular al
tention was paid to the increased amount
of smoke and flame. Within the last two
days the disturbance has steadily in
creased, and now the inhabitants of the
region are thnoroush hly alarmed and are
preparing to flee t. the sea and other
places of refuge in case general eruption
occurs.
The earthquakes are short and sharp,
and from this it is feared they will ult-
mately cause damage to the churches and
other tall buildings in this and other
neighboring states. The shocks thus far
have been felt here and at Colima. Iapot-
Ian, Patzcur, Urapan. Guadalajara and
many other smaller places. -Supterranean
rumblings are heard at intervals during
the day and through the night and
masses are being said in all the churches
to avert the threatened calamity.
Thousands are hocking to the confes~
sional to prepare themselves for anything
which may happen. and the priests are
kept busy day and night. The spirit OF
the moment is that if death comes it will
find the simple worshipers ready to die
at the altar in the act of homage.
The volcanic fires have ignited some of
the forests around the base of the mount
ain and several confagrations have en-
sued from this cause. 1t is feared that
some of the fine coffee haciendas within
a radius of few miles have been de-
stroyed also. Ships coming in from Cali

AN INDEPENDENT INDUSTRY

The repeal of the sugar bounty by the
last congress seems not to have discour-
aged the production of the sugar beet or
the operation of the factories. This year
will see greater area in beets in Califor-
MIA than ever before, and no factories
have closed, but all have evinced tend
ency to enlarge and improve. The evil
dences Of healthy and prolific growth fur
nished by the vast beet fields in the Chi
no district would strike with dishearten-
ing effect the prophets of disaster and de-
struction who opposed the repeal of the
bounty act on the ground that in abolish
ing this pernicious piece of pateGnalism a
new and promising California industry
would be destroyed. The contracts re-
Gently made at the Watsonville factory il
lustrate the one-sided workings of the su-
gar bounty enactment. and how it does
not accomplish the purposes assigned it
by those who championed the measure.
These contracts pay the farmer $3.50 per
uOll lOl DttlS uuQcl bAC GAlSUlHS
tions, and then as stimulus to the move
ment favoring the restoration of the
bounty and to enlist the farmers in the
cause, it is stipulated that if the bounty
is restored, fifty cents per ton more
will be paid. Now, the average
yield OF sugar from ton of beets is
estimated at about 800 pounds. The
bounty of two cents per pound paid to
the factory would give the latter IS on
each 800 pounds. Out of this it is pro-
posed to pay the farmer who grows the
peets fifty cents, leaving $3.50 to the
factory. In other words the people of the
United States are to pay for the sugar
beets used by the factories and give those
enterprising institutions 81. 80 besides, out
of which the grower will get half dollar.
The design OF the bounty act was osten
sibly to stimulate beet culture, and the
growers presumably were to be the bene.
ficiaries, the theory being that if the fac
tory profits were made high the prices
that farmers received from the factories
would be ploportionately advanced. But
that theory evidently is one that failed to
take into consideration all the facts ap-
pertaining to the situation.
AS an illustration of the ease with
which wealth can be neatly and expe-
ditiously transferred from the pockets of
the many to the Golfers of the few, the
bounty law in operation is clean cut and
striking. The beet sugar industry is i'm.
portant and destined to be one of the
greatest in California. It has been DEM
onstrated before and since the
bounty measure, that it can be profta bly,
prosecuted in the state. 1t does not need
