THE LAST VETO.
PRESIDENT OBJECTED TO THE
FRENCH SPOLIATION CLAIMS.
Have Been Pending in Congress One
Hundred Years. Vetoed Twice
Before.

President Cleveland's objections to
the payment OF the french spoliation
claims and other awards in the general
deficiency bill we're announced in a veto
message to congress. The leaders in the
house. having infol nation OF the criti-
cism which would be raised, had sur
rendered in advance to the executive by
preparing new bill, which was passed
free from all paragraphs which would
provoke further disapproval.
The lateness of the session and the de,
sire to adjourn forbade the idea of dis
cussing the presidents message. The
French spoliation claims already have
been vetoed by Presidents Polk and
Pierce, and by counting up interest com
pounded they have grown from $5,OOO,-
600 in 1S46 to $50, 100000 at the latest
advces. The heirs of those who suffer
ed from depredations upon our COM
merce by French privateers and war YES
sells when France was at war with Eng
land insist that the United States should
indemnify them for their losses. In
this position they are sustained by some
of the best authorities ON international
law. The United States surrendered its
claims against France in these cases in
consideration of the withdrawal of
claims by France.
The fact remains that American YES
sells were destroyed, that the United
States relinquished its citizens claim
for indemnity, and that the owners of
the lost vessels have received no compen-
satiOn from any source whatever.
DISPUTED FOR CENTURY.
The French spOlatiOn claims have
been pending before congress for about
one hundred years, and probably will
continue to support speculative lobby
for some tine to come. Those who have
become absorbed in the business of pre-
sentiDg claims against the government
live continually in the hope of
succeeding, and such expectations, in
many instances, have destroyed the use
fulness of those who otherwise would
have been of some account. The French
spOliatiOn claimants are numerous. and
are constantly increasing, but with the
record of the past against them and the
practical surrender of their cause by
congress today the outlook for their
eventual success is not promising.

Novel Means For Destroying Property
Adopted by Cuban Insurgents
Confirmation has been received by The
Cuban junta in New York of the burn
ing of the Espana, Angelic and San
Vicente, Moralea, Emperado, Colina
and many other extensive sugar estates
in MatanZas.
The insurgents are using hundreds of
the maja and jubo snakes to assist them
In reducing to ashes the sugar cane
fields. The snakes are dipped in cans of
crude petroleum grease. They are then
set on fire and released i'll the canefields.
The blazing reptiles dive under the dry
leaves, which cover the ground to depth
Of several feet at this time Of the wear,
make at once for the heart of the plan
tatiOn and run a distance Of several
hundred yards before they clear the fire
from their bodies or are roasted to death.
The intensity of the heat causes the
snakes to shoot through the cane like a
streak of lightning, and they leave be-
hind them a sheet of flame which
spreads with wonderful rapidity The
sugar cane is full of juice and alcohol
at this season, and the cane burns like
torches, as rapidly as pine shavings
While the cane is burning there is a
constant roaring and popping sound,
like the rattle of musketry fire 1t pro
ceeds from the bursth g of the cane,
caused by the rapid gel Grafton of gas
from the heat. The sap from the cane
exudes, boils and is quickly converted
into alcohol, which feeds and keeps up
the eonhagration until every stick of
cane on a plantation is burned. New

Renult of.a ntnmpedo.

The Inyo county, California, Reg
ister tells the following: During
Mondays heavy storm a flock con-
tanning about 1850 Angora goats
belonging to VIM. Thorington of
Round Valley, was being herded in
the brush east of A. s. fitzpatrick
-four mills. The goats stampeded
in the storm, and the one herder, a
Frenchman was unable to check or
turn them. They ran into what is
called the Indian ditch, and piled
up by the hundreds. The French
man tried to get some Indians from
camp near by to help him, but
they refused. He did all he could
alone to save the animals, and
threw many out upon the bank. In
spite of his efforts about 1850 of
them persisted, either from smother
ing or being chilled to death.

THE Sacramento Bee is strongly.
advocating sending a sold silver
delegation from the Pacific Coasts
States the Republican National
Convention, which is to be held in
st. Louis. It says that no coast
State should send delegates pledged
to any one for President, but that
the delegates should as one man
demand free coinage. This is very
we'll, but suppose the convention
refuses to accept the views of the
Pacific Coast delegation? What
will the delegation do about it?
If the Bee had said send a solid
delegation to st. Louis pledged to
support no man for the presidential
nomination who is not on record az
an avowed free coinage man, and
for the delegation to get out of the
convention if such a man was not
nominated, it would have shown
more sicerity in its friendship to
the white metal. The Bee knows
that the Republicans will not nonl-
mate free coinage man. They
may put free coinage plank in
their platform, but that would sim
ply be vote catching proposition.
That kind of work has been done
before, and we should think it was
time that Republicans who profess
to be free coinage men understood
the thimble- rigging game that the
leaders of their party have been
playing on them for the past TWEEN.
ty years. We do not mean to say
that the Bee is not in favor of free
coinage, but we do say that, in our
humble opinion, it is wasting its
breath and spelling white paper in
trying to convince anyone that free
coinage can be obtained through
the Republican party--or the DEM
ocratic party either.

THE Philadelphia Press publishes
q letter from Senator Brown, of
Utah, the concluding paragraph of
which is as follows:
~ hear it said that Senators Car
ter, Teller ct al. will leave the par
ty in case that a free coinage plank
is not incorporated into the plat
form at St. Louis. That is all bosh.
They are Republicans and will
stand by the grand old organization
at all times and under all circum-
stances. Speaking for myself, |
will vote for the revenue bill if /
have a chance, no matter what be-
comes of silver"
If all the Senators from the far
West should take the same position
which the Senator from Utah occu-
pies the silver question would be
dead, because we know from ex-
perience that If the Eastern Repub-
licans can get what they want with
out doing anything for silver, they
will adhere to the gold standard.

DEATH Of MRS. LOTUS.



Mrs. Mary Lotus, wife of An
drew LOTUS, died at her residence
in Dayton last Monday at Z o'clock
P. M, after an illness of only ten
days, from a complication of dis
eases. During her illness every at
tention was shown her that loving
hearts and willing hands could con-
ceive of and accomplish, but her
time had come, and the Reaper
needed not the prayers of sorrow
ing friends and relatives that she
might remain longer with them in
this life.
Mrs. Lotus was a native of the
North of Ireland, and at the time
of her death was "a years of age.
She came to New York when but a
child and there spent her girlhood
days, and married Andrew Loftns,
the couple moving to California in
1858. After a residence in that
State for ten years, Mr.. and Mrs.
LOTUS moved to Nevada to reside
in 1858, and have since then lived
in Dayton.
Mrs. LOTUS was devoted to her
home and family, was a woman
who mingled little in society, but
who was charitable, kind and low
ing. She leaves a husband and q
son and daughter to mourn her loss.
Mrs. J. E. Gignoux and A. J. LOT
tus-the former the wife of Sena-
tor Gignoux and the latter County
Clerk and Treasurer of Lyon coun-
ty.
The funeral services were held in
the Court House on Wednesday,
Rev. Davis, OF Carson, ofhclatlng.
Many beautiful floral decorations
covered the coffin, and after the
ceremony was over large number
of sorrowing friends followed the
remains to the grave, where the last
sad rites were performed. The be-
reaved husband, son and daughter
have the sympathy of the entire
community in their affection, but
in their wisdom consider that the
end that we all must meet has but
come to one who performed her
life's work we'll, and whose reward
shall be all that is promised by Him
who said "come unto me, we who
are weary and heavy laden"
