for some time. The crowd con-
sisted of large number of repre-
sentative citizens and business
men, and they all enjoyed the fun
immensely. Business men sat

Dr.. Muir Says It Will Drive American
Product Out of Japan.
DIR. Muir, who is managing an oil re-
finery for a Dutch company in the new
petroleum fields of sumatra, says that
within five years Japan, which now
ships kerosene largely from this coun-
try, will take it's entire supply from
Sumatra.
DR.. Muir, who has come to San Fran
cisco for his family, is the only Amer
lean among Is Dutchmen who have
charge of u colony of nearly 5000 ma
tives. British and Chinese steamers
come up the river and load the cases
OF Oil right at the refinery. They Carry
them to Singapore, Picking, Yokohama
and several East Indian ports.
Twelve wells are in operation in the
one district, and their average daily
output is from 200 to 500 barrels each,
So far no other oil districts have been
discovered, for no prospecting has been
done. The Dutch will not allow Amer
leans or other foreigners to enter their
territory. 1t is believed that other rich
fields await development and efforts
Will be made to find them.

The Bond and the Dollar.

There is not a United States gov
eminent bond in existence which is
not payable in silver at the ratio of
16 to if the government so chooses.
These debts were contracted on that
ratio, and the republican party now
asks you to have those bonds either
paid in gold or have the ratio chang
ed to suit foreign nations who hold
most of the bonds.
If the United States would pay off
the bonds and the interest on them
in silver you would hear nothing
about the gold reserve falling below
one hundred million. The silver
would not be taken to foreign coun-
tries as it is worth more at home. 1t
would be put into circulation, bust
ness would revive, prices of produce
would go up, labor would be employ
ed, people would buy more goods,
pay their debts and business men
would prosper.
The United States under the gold
mems plan is paying off every obliga-
ton in gold and letting the silver lie
in the vaults at Washington. The
gold is Immediately shipped to Eu-
rope or is claimed to be until it is
wanted to buy more bonds. So it
gees; the money is going out of circu-
lati. IN and into bonds tor which the
people. are to be taxed.-New Hamp-

Ratchet men in the state. Tho appear.
ance Of these highbinders and the an
nouncement that the price held upon
the heads Of Joe Gar and Lee Nee Toy
had been increased to ST 900 caused the
greatest excitement in the district. The
news spread rapidly and agents of both
sides were on the streets, ut the police
stations and at the Chinese consulate.
It is claimed that the highbinders have
been brought to this city by Lee Zip
Duck, the Chinese merchant and
gambler, who instigated the expulsion
of the prescribed merchants from their
society, and at whose door it placed
the blame for all the recent dis
turbances, including the murder Of the
Chinese clamdiggers.
Four Chinese have reported to the
authorities that they overheard con-
versation in which Lee Zip Duck guar
anteed to pay 81, 900 for the life of either
Joe Gar or Lee Nee Toy. These men are
willing to swear to their statement and
insist that a series Of new murders is
being planned. Most of the Chinese
highbinders who arrived in the city are
from Fresno. They belong to the Bow
on-Tong, the most notorious and most
powerful highbinders' society in the
state. Among it's members are the most

an aggressive campaign, when the enc

1862, and almost drove him into the
river before nightfall came, and with
1t the reinforcements which were so
sadly needed. 1t is matter of history
that, with the aid of Buell's army of the
Ohio, Grant retrieved himself Oh Mon
day, and won victory over his power
full foe. On thot Sunday morning Grant
was at his headquarters at Savannah
when the battle began, and he at once
embarked on his boat to go to the scene
of battle, and find out what caused the
firing which was growing constantly
in volume. Maj. Carroll had arrived
that morning, had reported to Adjt.
Gen. Rawlins, and he received permits
sion to accompany Gen. Grant and staff.
Thus it happened that he was early on
the scene Of action.
Maj. Carroll has said upon numerous
occasions that Gen. Buell. was not in ac-
cord with Gen. Grant. He had CONVEX
sations with Buell. and with his staff
officers, and they claimed all credit for
the victory. Maj. Carroll reported
what he had learned to Gen. Rawlins,
Gen. Hilyer and Gen. Logan, and told
them that if Buell's war correspondents
should send reports of the battle they
would undoubtedly give Buell. all credit
for the victory. Commodore Graham
gave Maj. Carroll one of his transport
steamers, and the major steamed away
to Fort Henry for the purpose Of send

A Dream Which Has Much in Common
with the Reality. h
Alex Gindelsberger, q farmer living
near Portsmouth, o., was called from
his home at night by unknown men and
murdered. The night the crime was
committed, says the New York
World, his daughter Mary, 10
years old, stayed at the home of
William Cook in Portsmouth. Tlne
next morning at breakfast she told her
strange dream.
She said that it seemed that some one
called her father, and that he went OUT
side, where he. was murdered. After
this she thought that she heard rap
pings i'll her room, and on the head Of
the bed in which she was sleeping. She
was so terrified that she covered her
head with the bed clothing and w emit to
sleep. She was awakened soon and i'm
agined that a hand touched her and
pointed toward where her father was
lying dead.
Within an hour after she had fni shed
telling about the dream she receiy ed q
telegram saying that her father was
dead. She afterward learned that, he
had been killed as she had seen in the
vision and at about the same time.
