land had something of the picturesque
aided to its pages by these highminded
law breakers. They were the natural
result of the feudal systems of those
days. a sequence to the arbitrary
acts of king or queen who confscated
the estates of gentlemen whom they
disliked, and there being no other oc-
cupation took to the road as the only
''trade" which they as gentlemen
might follow. In these days it is diff
ferent. The modern robber of trains
and stage coaches isa thoroughly bust
ness man. There is nothing senti-
mental or romantic about him. He is
prepared to do murder, and does it on
slight provocation. 1t makes no diff
ference to him whose money he gets so
he gets it. He is criminal without
redeeming characteristic, and as
such should be dealt with. Our laws
should be changed so as to provide for
his case, and not only should the hold
ing up of trains be made capital Of
fense, but the attempt to do so should
be punished by long term in the PEN
itentiary. We can look back at the
gentlemanly robbers of hundred
years ago with some degree of admira-
tion, for we were not the people
robbed, but in these days the business
has become decidedly monotonous.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Doctors Anticipate War and Go to vIadi-

Doctors Anticipate War and Go to v1adi-
vostock.
/ SAN FRANCISCO. July 3.-Among
the arrivals here today were DR.. T.
Semiznoff and DR.. N. Satrowky. of St.
Petersburg, physicians of the Russian
czar, who are bound for Vladivostock.
They say that for some time past the
Russian government has been receiv-
ing kilograms that there was cholera,
or at least indications of it, at Naga-
saki, Yokohama, and other points
close to the Russian possessions.
These two have been sent to Vladivos-
took to make study of the conditions
there.
DR.. Semiznoff was asked as to the
report received from Tacoma that S0.-
900 Russian soldiers were massed at
Vladivostock, and that the harbor was
set with torpedoes. with other indica-
tions of trouble between Russia and
Japan. s'There is no such number as
1000 soldiers there" he said. "That
dispatch which I saw, is exaggerated.
There are about 10000 troops there,
but the government had most of them
there for some time. They have been
gathered from all over Siberia and the
country toward St. Petersburg.
''It is true that there are many war;
ships there, too. and it is true that
there are torpedoes in the harbor.
They have been there for the last two
or three months. What they have
been placed there for, however, you
will have to ask the czar. as I do not
know"
Although Russians say colera is
prevalent in Japan, the presence of
that disease has not yet been reported
here.

THE TRANS-PACIFIC CABLE.
1t Will be Built by British Capitalist

1t Will be Built by British Capitalists
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2. Hugh
Craig, vice-president of the chamber
OF commerce, says that from thorough
investigation of the subject he is con-
vinced that the Pacific cable, which
has been talked about for years on this
side of the United States, and discussed
ad interim in congress, is to be built
by British capitalists.
To the statement that Englishmen
and Australians, with Canada, have
decided to undertake the work, he adds
the further fact that the difficulty OF
obtaining a miuocean station has been
overcome. 1t will be remembered that
the United States government decided
last winter not to sanction the estab-
lshment OF such-a station on any of
the Hawaiian islands to be controlled
solely by Britishers. To avoid inter.
national complications, a station has
been decided upon in latitude north,
on Tanning island.
The cable is to be laid from Auck-
land, N. T.. to Norfolk island, in the
South Pacific, distance of Ais miles.
The second section of the cable will be
from Norfolk to Fiji, distance of 1887
miles, the third to Tanning island, IT'S
miles, and the fourth and largest Sec
tion, from Tanning island to Vancou
yer, B. c., distance of 1892 miles.
The total length of this cable would
thus be 6S99 miles, or almost three
times as long as the shortest transat-
lantic cable.
The cost of this cable from Aucland
to Vancouver will be s51, 100000. This
cable, it is proposed, shall be only one
of a number of cables connecting with
it in the southern hemisphere. The
principal connection will be between
Auckland and Sydney, New South
Wales.

Tourist Hotel Burned.

SAN BERNARD1No, CAL, July A.
The Arrowhead hotel, one of the
noted tourists resorts of Southern
California, burned to the ground this
afternoon. The cause of the fire,
which started in the cupola, is un-
known. The structure was built
wholly of wood and stood upon an
eminence at the base OF Sierra Madre
mountains. 1t was entirely consumed
in a short time, strong wind blowing
at the time. There were about so
guests in the hotel, and many of them
were away and there were very few of
their effects saved. No accidents are
reported. The loss cannot be esti-
mated. The building cost $780, ZOO.
There was an insurance of only $780,
600. The hotel was owned by stock
company of Los Angeles men.

THE FOURTH.

The riot in Boston yesterday is to be
deplored. 1t was independence day,
and all organizations that are not an
tagonistic to free institutions should
be accorded the privilege of displaying
their patriotism on the 4th of July.
That bloodshed should have resulted
is to be regretted; but it seems that
the feeling was so bitter that this
could not be avoided. The trouble
was caused by the A. P. A. joining in
the procession with some of the sym
bols of the organization, which caused
a mob OF infuriated people to fire on
the organization. One man was killed,
and several injured as a result. Under
q republican form of government all
societies which are not inimical to free
institutions should enjoy absolute
immunity from interference. If any
suffer wrong the courts are accessible,
and ample justice is done: but on the
great national holiday every parti-
san should forget his dissensions, and
devote the time to instilling lessons of
patriotism in the minds of the people.
The celebration OF the anniversary of
American independence is the day of
days, and is as sacred to the Populist
as to the Democrat or Republican.
The only possible difference there can
be in it's observance is to the narrow
minded, prejudiced bigot, who will
forget his country and its welfare in
advancing notions of selfish or per-
sonal ends. 1t is impossible for the
republic to exist if there is not exhib-
tied a spirit of universal patriotism
among the people, and one of absolute
tolerance for those of different politi-
cal affiliations on Independence Day.

PROTECTION rs. FREE SILVER

A Democratic exchange prints a
two-column editorial to prove that pro-
lection and free silver are consistent
doctrines, and one follows the other.
This, the editor fails to prove, but
stretches his article to its length
without a single convincing argument
to any one who takes moments time
to examine into the correctness of the
premises he assumes. If, by placing
duty on the market price of imported
silver into this country, it would tend
to develop any industry which cannot
exist at this time by reason of foreign
competition, then there would be an ar
gument for free silver; but the cur
rency of the country, which is simply
a representative of value, would
be debased thereby and it's
purchasing power largely decreased.
While silver, as q circulating
medium, is, in certain measure,
governed by supply and demand.
it cannot stand on the same footing as
American woolen and cotton goods, or
wool and some products of the
soil. Coin is measure of value, and
to consider worth it's face value
without gold standard-what the
great commercial nations only rate as
subject to the fluctuations of the
market, would be to place our laborers
at a disadvantage with those of foreign
countries. The latter would be.paid
full price for their work, and the
earnings of our laborers, if paid in
silver, would purchase only the per-
centage of goods at which it was rated.
There can be no correlation between
the doctrine of fostering infant indus
tries and flooding the country with
fuctuating and debased currency,
and no process of fair reasoning can
substantiate such a fallacy.- 1t might as
we'll be argued that this country could
reduce its yard measure to 80 or "a
inches, and its avoirdupois pound to II
ounces. 1t is necessary for the har-
mony of commercial transactions that
there should be uniform standard of
measurement and of values between
countries; but this has no relation
whatever with the idea that goods
manufactured in England should enter
the ports of the United States without
any duty placed thereon. Protection
is one of the foundation principles of
the government, and is as applicable
to the municipality as it is to the state
or nation; but it is reversing the doc
trine when dollar is forced into cir
culation that is only worth so or go

Ashanfea Sacrifices.

"The most savage and horrible of
all the barbarous customs of the
Ashantees in Africa" said Professor
W. Ct. Steadman of Washington, lis
that of celebrating the death of a
king or great noble by sacrifice of
other lives Indeed almost all of
their anniversary rites are attended
by a holocaust of human beings.
They believe that when a king OF a
noble dies he must have wives and
slaves in the next world, just as he
had in this, and in order that these
may not be wanting the simple ex-
pedient is resorted to of killing his
wives and slaves and sending them
after him. Rude and bloody ceremo
MES mark the practice of this Gus
tom, which are continued for about
a week. Strange to say. numerous
volunteers are always found who are
not only ready but anxious to be of
fered up in honor of a dead king"

DENVER, July 2.-Just 80 persons
were assembled in East Turner hall at
10 O'Clock, the time set for the Demo
cratic mass convention for the consid-
GRAFTON of the financial question.
Chairman Frank Arbuckle, of the
state central committee, who called
the meeting at the request of the COM
mttee, was not present, but had sent
an address, discouraging radical action.
to be read by Secretary Olney Newell.
1t was claimed the small attendance
was due to misunderstanding of the
time at which the meeting was to be
held, and 1t was confidently expected
that the afternoon session would bring
out larger crowd.
AT lO:4O O'Clock Secretary Newell,
OF the state committee, called the meet
Ing to order, about 80 persons being
present. Mr.. Newell, in his opening
address, suggested that the present
financial policy OF the government ac-
counted in measure for the fact that
leading Democrats of the state had

meeting. He spoke in severe terms of
the action of certain office-holders in
trying to prevent the present meeting
least something might be said to hurt
their political chances. He then read
the address of Chairman Arbuckle,
which was received without demonsta-
tion. Mr.. Arbuckle characterized the
action of the Illinois Democracy in
adopting resolutions condemning the
administration as impolitic and dis
graceful, and advised this convention
to do nothing to forfeit the respect of
the national Democracy.
Mr.. Newell also read letter from
Charles S. Thomas, national COM
mitteeman, who was detained by busi-
ness in Colorado Springs, strongly
endorsing the convention and urging
action in favor of the free coinage of
silver. The letter was warmly cheered.
Organization was effected with Gen
eral Samuel Brown as chairman, and

retary.

selected. after which the meeting ad-

driving along at fast trot on level
road, when he heard a wagon ap-
preaching at rapid pace from the
opposite direction. He could see
nothing, but as his lights were burn
ing brightly and the highway was a
broad one he was not alarmed. Sud
denly, however, his horse made a
violent jump to the left and crossed
the road just in time to let the ap-
preaching team, driven, as it ap-
peared. by drunken man, dash by
in the track which the doctors buggy
had that instant left.
The intelligent creature had waited
till the last minute, thinking that the
vehicle would keep to the right, and
then, when she knew q collision to
be inevitable, had sprung out of the
