 "Yes; but the statement is true, nevertheless Unless Great Britain recalls her troops and reduces the outposts to their former strength, Crespo would be compelled to go to war to prevent revolution. My resolution yesterday was not, as Mr. Boutelle thought, war resolution. It was peace resolution, by calling on President Cleveland to investigate the report, and, if true, to demand that Great Britain undo what she has done Should Great Britain refuse, war would result, but I don't think she would refuse. Chairman Hit promises to have my resolution con- sidered immediately. have sug- gested that, if he likes, he amend it by inserting a clause calling on Presi- dent Crespo to hold back his troops and so avoid conflict or trouble of any kind with Great Britain till the pres. ent commission has made it's report"

THE RIVER and THE MINERS.
Ani-DebriS Committee Discusses the
Dredging Proposition.
They Favor 1t, Provided the River Be
Kept Free From Further
Injury.

At the monthly meeting yesterday OF
the Executive Committee of the State
Anti-Debris Association, in this city,
Vice-President John c. White of Yuba
presided in the absence of President j.
M. Morrison, who is in Siskiyou County.
Secretary Robert Cosner of Colusa Off
ciated in his usual capacity.
Chief Engineer j. r. Price of the staff
of the Commissioner of Public Works
addressed the committee at some length
on the subject of river improvement
and drainage, in which he gave an out
line of the matter contained in his re-
port, which was recently published at
length in the Record Union to the
extent Of some ten columns.
His purpose in laying the matter be-
fore the association was to have that
body assist in impressing on the Leg
islature the necessity of purchasing one
of the mammoth dredgers described in
his reporD for deepening the channel of
the Sacramento River.
Manager Phipps expressed the fear
that if the work were found to be so
feasible the hydraulic miners would
make that an excuse for pursuing their
work and that eventually the river
would again be filled up.
A. Fl. Wilbur of Sutter County
thought it would be just the thing to
do If assured that the river would not
be again be made the dumping ground
for mining debris.
ID. P. burst of Wheatland said it
should be the business of the associa-
tion to foster the interests of those who
live in the valley and not offer encour-
agement for the rehabilitation of hy-
draulic mining. He knew what the
open up again as of yore-the people
about the junction of the Sacramento
and Yuba Rivers would be drowned out
Chairman White, L. P. Farmer of
Sutter and others expressed views of
similar import. The fight should be
made for river improvement only
VIII S. Green, who could not be pres
ent, sent a communication favoring
improvement Of the river
After thorough discussion of the
subject the matter Of the association
aiding in securing a dredger for clean
ing out the rivers was referred to the
Legislative Committee, and the associa-
ton promised that it's attorney and
other officers would cooperate with
similar committees appointed for like
purpose.
Manager Phipps, in his monthly re-
port, called attention to the fact that
some of the enjoined miners We're again
operating their mines in violation Of the
law, and that others that are operating
under permits issued by the Debris
Commission are not restraining their
debris, and that the dams erected are
Intellectual for that purpose.
The report was placed on file, and the
matters requiring resort to the courts
was referred to attorney Devlin for ac-
ton.
The committee also instructed the at

General Weyler denies with emphasis
that he decoyed Maceo by any unfair
device or method into a death-trap. and
cites the fact that Maceo's troops were
in sufficient force about him to beat
back the Spanish and rescue his body.
his denial, and it must be said that
he makes a pretty strong case in de-
tense. This will not, however, tend to
mitigate the bitterness of feeling in this
country against Spain and Weyler, nor
weaken the demand for recognition of
the belligerency Of the Cuban insur-
gents There is no forgetfuness of the
fact that Spain was one Of the very
first of nations TO recognize the bellig-
erency of the rebels Of the Southern
Confederacy. We do not see how rec
ognition of belligerent conditions is to
be of much aid to the insurgents in
Cuba Its moral effect will certainly
be it's chief one In several respects
it will operate against the insurgents,
as has been pointed out in these col
umns. It is undeniable, however, that
pressure of almost irresistible char
acter is brought to bear upon the ad-
ministration to accord to the Cubans
belligerent rights, and Congress is feel
ing this pressure from all sides. We
shall not be at all surprised if the Ma
tional Legislature yields to it.

IA, :th a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills. which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
iy removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputa BILE druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ard the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. 1t
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF

Crawford is dead, and that his sudden

confession Of the arch murderer whose
victim he surely was.
His financial affairs. we believe it is

were pleasant, and he had nothing
fearful to escape from, but had life and

STILLS INSISTS UPON IT.

The following appeared in The Lar
last, and the next evening the Boone
rang published a similar article:
1T was currently reported on the
streets this morning that the Spring
Creek company had sold its placer
property. the consideration being stat
ed at 100000. The report came from
Cheyenne. The Cheyenne Tribune o.
this morning stated that it had infor-
nation from Laramie that the proper
ty had beer sold for $50. 900. The truth
is no sale has been made as yet. Ne
gotiations are still pending"
The Tribune reporter who wrote the
article in which it was stated the
Spring Creek placer mines had been
sold. knew what he was talking about,
for he IA the papers at State Auditor
Owens office. although the first infor-
nation regarding the sale of the prop
erty was received. as stated, from Lar
annie. Through an error the Tribune
stated that 1856. 900 was the AMOUNT
paid by the Ohio parties for the proper,
~. The correct sum is $50, 900. and the
deal had been closed at the time. The
Tribune reporter gave the information
to the public.-Cheyenne Tribune.
The above from the Tribune would
be good news if true, but The Republic
can can see no reason for misrepresen-
tation. At the time the Tribune pub
lisned its first report of the sale, if the
reporter knew anything about the mat
ter at all, he knew that no sale had
been consummated and that the prop
erty had not changed hands, nor has
it yet. The company is expecting to go
ahead with the work of taking out gold
again just as soon as the weather will
permit.
The Tribune should not be so free
to call other people down until it is
sure it is right.
The Republicans information has
been obtained from Messrs. Storey and
Wolcott. two of the principal owners
of the property, and there is no reason
to believe that they are telling any
thing but the truth.

I'm Australia you can ride 1000

ingmen three miles for l cent, while
wages are % to so per cent higher than

ride six miles for l cent, and wages
have doubled since the government
bought the roads. In Germany you
ride four miles for l cent 90 miles for
one cen on the Berlin road, and wa
ges are 125 per cent higher than they
were under private ownership. Such
are the results of national ownership
of railways-wages greatly increased.
hours shortened and rates dropped so
that they are six to twelve times lower
than ours"
With such a large friction of the
total railroad stock of the country
yielding no dividends worth talking
about the great mass of railroad stock
holders themselves may soon begin to
take kindly to the national ownership
idea. OF course they would receive the
value of their stock, or government
bonds of the same amount. And if the
government guaranteed them 3 per
cent they would be. most OF them,
much better off than they are now.
With the railroads converted into
national property on some such plan
of purchase, it is quite certain that
Within thirty years at the outside the
bonds would be Cancelled out of the
earnings of the roads and the cost Of
railway service be reduced to at least
the Australian standard.
