which the absolute neutrality of the
passage across the isthmus was suppos-
ed to be guaranteed. Then England cum
ningly began to work on the Nioaraguan
nation itself
The Managuan treaty between Mica
ragua and England was signed in 1860.
In that treaty Great Britain apparently
agreed to give up her self assumed pro-
tectorate in the Mosquito strip and to
acknowledge the authority of Nicaragua
over it, But the agreement had loop
hole that would enable the British to
practically reassume their protectorate
whenever in their Judgment it was ad-
visable. The diplomacy Of Central
American statesmen was not equal to
peroeiving the cunningly devised snare
laid for them in the treaty. The long
and short of it is that lately Great
Britain has been endeavoring to take on
herself again the protectorate Of the
Mosquito mongrels. That was what
brought about the recent troubles be-
tween the Mosquitoes and Nicaragua.
Although England pledged herself by
the treaty Of 1850 with this country not
to attempt to increase her Central Amer
lean territory, but to oonfne herself
strictly within the Belize, she has nev.
ertheless annexed large outlying dis.
tricts and several islands that are be.
yond doubt Central American territory.
1t is her colonial policy the world over.
Since England has violated openly the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, it only remains
for the United States to go after her
down there and protect its own inter
ests.
Now, what Is it the blessed business
of England in any shape or form about
the Mosquito Indians? In 1860 she ao-
Bnowledged they belonged to Nicaragua.
She is putting her fingers slyly into the
state affairs Of both Nicaragua and
Honduras. The attitude Of England
toward Nicaragua at the present mo-
ment has the appearance Of a menace to
the integrity Of the Monroe doctrine on
this continent.
The completion of the Nicaragua ca
nal under the auspices and control of
the United States will do away for all
time with European interference of any
kind in Central American affairs The
United States does not want any Cen
tral or South American territory for her
self, but it is her business and her duty
to see that no European country gets
such territory. And she will see to it.
Now let us hear no more Of filibustering
in congress against the Nicaragua ca.
nal.

Di Giovanni Discharged for the Killing Of
Ponzio
Giro amo di Giovanni, charged with the
murder of Nicolo Ponzio on February 9th,
near the Hotel de Lyons, was examined
yesterday in the Township Justice Court.
Prisoner and deceased were partners. In
the same house with them lived Beppino
Ponzio, the crazy brother of Nicolo. On
the day of the homicide the lunatic fired
a couple of shots at Di Giovanni. The de-
ceased came up with couple of stones
and attacked prisoner, too. He called out
to the crazy man to go into their room
and bring out his revolver, still firing
heavy rocks at Di Giovanni. Then the
latter shot.
The crazy Beppino was brought into
court to testify, but all be could say was
''nino, nino," which he repeated many
times. He is now confined in the County
Jail, awaiting the investigation of the In
sanity Commissioners.
1t was SO well proved that Di Giovanni
had merely acted in self-defense that, on
motion of the Deputy District Attorney,
Justice Young ordered his discharge.

THOSE OIL-BURNING ENGINES
The Terminal Railroad Converts Second
Locomotive.
they Burn Los Angeles Crude OIL and Do
Excellent Work---New Orange Rate.
Officials Out for a Trip

The second engine on the Los Angeles
Terminal Railroad to be converted from
a coal-burner to a burner of crude oil
went out on its trial trip yesterday, and in
every way the new fuel gave satisfactory
results. The first engine on the Terminal
converted into a coal oil burner, No. g.
has been at work a month, hauling both
freight and passenger trains. Not only
has it made the time with the passenger
trains, but it has hauled twenty loaded
cars with ease.
In converting the engines but little
change is made in their construction.
The space in the ordinary tank or tender of
the locomotive, which is usually filled
with coal, is fitted with q tank for crude
oil, which is connected with the fire box
by rubber hose. In the ire-box is the
burner, which sprays the crude oil into
the 1ues. The oil tanks are filled on the
Terminal from the viaduct which runs
over the Santa Fe and Terminal tracks
Los Angeles crude oil is burned in the
engines and it is supplied in tank wagons
which are driven upon the viaduct and a
line of hose run down to the tank of the
engine below. So far, the burning of
crude petroleum on locomotives has been
a success, but the runs" have been COM
paratively short. In few days one of
-he Santa Fe engines will be fitted with oil
burners and given long run to test it.

WONDERFUL MINES,

The systematic manner in which THE
CALL is making an expert inspection of
California mines and it's published de-
scriptions of their character and working
have developed many extraordinary facts
and have informed the world of the
astonishing activity and profits connected
with the industry. A specimen of the
articles in this line appeared in Mondays
issue, concerning the Mokeiumne region,
and it serves to demonstrate the fact that
mining is really in its infancy, and that
dazzling possibilities reside in the future.
An illustration of a very instructive
condition of affairs was presented in Mon
days article in description of one of the
numerous mines on the Mokelumne River.
Recent tunneling has discovered the re-
markabl fact that the vein is 100 feet
wide. that it is on the mother lode, and
that although it is low-grade ore it will
yield good profit. The lowest tunnel is
only $40 feet from the surface of the bluff !;
at the bottom of a Wine sunk forty five
feet below this level the average yield was
S. ton, but streak nine feet wide ran
SOS to the ton. A shaft sunk 100 feet below
the tunnel level passed through iow-grade
paying ore all the way, and at the bottom
struck a streak of ore running $25 to the
ton.
That is to say, the deeper the work the
richer the ore. This is the history of gold
mining on the mother lode of California,
and the universal application of the prin-
cipie is just beginning to be fully realized.
The famous Utica mine, which yields
profit Of 100000 a month, was discovered
to have its richest ore deep in the ground.
The Kennedy mine, which was abandoned
after 1t had been worked with moderate
success 600 feet down, was closed down,
then reopened, pushed 300 feet lower and
discovered ore running SIS to the ton

a TERRIBLE RECORD.

THE CALLS graphic history of the dark
and bloody tragedies of Round Valley
read like series of condensed chapters
from the records of medieval times. The
CHASTITY stories which the Holy Graeme
has handed down to the ages are fully
equaled by Round Valley in cunning of
conception and ferocity of execution. 1t
is incredible that in this day of enlighten-
ment, in the full light of sun which
sends its richest blessings to mankind, ore
of the fairest spots Of California should be
darkered with crimes the fercest and
most cowardly that human depraviity
and atavism can conceive.
The isolation of the little valley explains
its history. 1t presented peculiar oppor-
tunities for daring and constituencies
men to seize the land, accumulate great
wealth, brighten, bully, rob, terrorize and
murder honest intruders and secure abso-
lutte sway over the local courts. This
frightful record has been growing for
many years, and it has required the muir
der of signally courageous man, named
Jack Littlefield, to lift the veil which con-
cealed the hideous sore from the gaze of
the outside world.
On top of this mysterious affair came
the reward offered by the Governor for the
apprehension of the malefactors. This has
started many busy ferrets at work, and we
may feel assured that the task will not be
abandoned until the last of the cutthroats
has been run to earth. Even their dam
Cling upon the gallows will be punishment
for but a thousandth part of the crimes
which have been committed, for the record
includes judicial corruption, connivance
and participation by officers of the law in
most OF the fearful work that has been
done-the killing of Indians for the posses
sion of their squaws, the numbering OF
Indian parents and the selling of their chill
dren into slavery, and an interminable list
of perjuries, arsons and thefts. Likely few
of these crimes will ever be reached.
Californians owe it to themselves, their
State and the age in which they live to
pursue this damnable series of iniquities
to the end. The Governments of the State
and the United States owe it to the country
to follow the inquiry to its furthest limit.
THE CALL may be depended on to do its
share of the work. taking its own chances
with all the dangers, and content with its
sole reward of consciousness of we'll
doing in assisting to rid this noble State of
an incredible evil.

BODYBUILDING AGAIN.

The hearty response made by the lead
ing real estate agents and dealers of the
City to THE CALLS agitation Of the subject
of home-making is both gratifying and en-
couraging. The interviews with them
which were published in Mondays Issue
were exceedingly interesting and instruct
i've, and should be read by every man and
woman in the City who is earning salary.
1t is clearly shown that, taking into &C
count the enhancement in real values,
which is always the experience of grow
ing cities, it is in the end cheaper to buy
home on the installment plan than to pay
rent.
1t is those who have the wisdom to I'M
derstand the peculiar conditions of San
Francisco who are straining every nerve to
acquire home of their own. When we
observe the number of millionaires in San
Francisco who secured their fortunes solely
by buying land, and realize that the fac
tors which contributed to the enhancement
of their property values are still in eX-
istence and must continue indefinitely
hereafter, there is every encouragement to
make supreme effort to own lot. For
San Francisco must become one OF the
greatest cities in the world. No con-
ceivable exhibition of human stupidity,
Incidence or neglect can prevent it, The
main causes which must produce it are it's
relation to ocean commerce taken in con-
nection with its relation to the richest
agricultural area and the richest mines in
the country, its position as the entrepot
Of a vast region whose products are highly
valuable in themselves and free from COM
petition with the products of any other
section of the country by reason of climatic
peculiaritles, and its similar relation to a
region inconceivably rich in healing agen-
cies for human ills. No other spot in all
the world combines so many or so valuable
advantages, and nothing under the sun
can prevent their operation to the produc-
ton OF splendid city at the Golden Gate.
In these days of deliberately developed
associations for furtherng the prosperity
and happiness of their members the value
of the idea of BODYBUILDING should be
promulgated to its fullest extent, especially
here in San Francisco, where the rewards
of such endeavor are clearly SO inviting.
Workingmen's organizations particularly
might make simpler of solution many of
the problems with which they are dealing
by encouraging their members in this
laudable idea. The simple fact of owning
his home makes any man so much better a
citizen that 1T seems wonder that those
who devote their energies to the study and
cure OF wrongs do not pay more attention
to this, one of the most effective of all
remedies

VICTORY IN SIGHT.

According to reports from New York
the prospects that the next Repubhcan
Convention will be held in San Francisco
are something more than fair. They are
distinctly encouraging to our most san
guine hopes. We appear to have almost
as many friends in the extreme East as on
the Pacific Coast. There is opposition to
US of course, and Chicago and Pittsburg
are strong rivals, but we seem to be lead
ing in the contest and have fair chance
of remaining there to the end.
The assembling of the National Conven-
ton in this City would mean to US some
thing more than party politics. 1t would
Danish forever from the Eastern mind the
idea that California is out of the world
and that it is a long and exhausting jour
ney to get here. We should hear no more
that the Pacific Coast is too remote for
easy visiting in search of breezy summers
or winter sunshine. 1t would emphatl-
cally advertise the fact that railway inn
provements have conquered time and
distance; it would make known the ex-
cellence OF the means of traversing the
wonderful scenery OF the transcontinental
Journey and encourage thousands of peo-
pie to make the trip who now think about
it as beyond the limit of their time and
means.
The visit to this coast of so many men emil
nent in politics and statecraft, and holding
high positions in the Nation, would also be
of material advantage to Us in all our
efforts to obtain Government assistance in
improving our rivers and harbors, irrigat-
ing the arid lands, devising means for the
reopening of hydraulic mining, and the
undertaking of other great works necessary
for the full use of all the resources of this
section of the Union. Men who attended
the convention would have more interest
in Western welfare than ever before, and
moreover would have better ideas of how
to promote it. In this way, therefore, as
we'll as in others, the convention would
have something more than a political
effect and be beneficial to the community
at large.
For these reasons it is not too much to
expect that in the task of working for the
convention, and in that of providing for it,
if it is to be held here, all citizens of the
City and State will work together in order
that the measure Of success accomplished
may be the greatest possible. AS affairs
stand at present San Francisco seems an
easy leader in the race. Her cause is
championed by some of the strongest men
in the Eastern wing of the Republican
party. She has many supporters in the
Mississippi Valley. The Great West is
practically solid for her. Now then for a
long pull, a strong pull and a pull alto
gether at home and the convention is ours.
