fernpt m Esrane


tempt to Escape
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 1.-The steamer Pa.
checo, which arrived from Ensenada
Lower California, today, brings news that
James E. Garratt attempted to escape from
the Jail at that place, but was recaptured
after being terribly wounded by son ol
Gov. Sanguinez.
Garrett has been in prison since last
March on charge of having stolen gold
brick worth $l2 900 from the shipping of
flee of M. Riveroll.
Yesterday morning CARAT was taken
into court for one of the periodical exami-
nations which are a feature of Mexican
criminal procedure. On his way back to
Jail he broke away from his guards and
ran for liberty. He ran until he was ex-
hausted and then sat down. The COVER
nor's son, who was in the van of the pur.
suit, rushed up and, although Garratt had
his hands up, struck him a blow over the
head with a gun that knocked Garrat1
senseless. When he regained conscious
ness he was taken back to prison. His
wound is serious but not fatal.

But the Soldiers Made Fight to

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Jan. IA battle
between soldiers and police occurred in
Saddlers' hall last night and about thirty
men were seriously injured. The soldiers
were defeated and twenty were locked up.
A raiding party went to Saddlers' hall,
where the Kosciusko guards, a military Or
ganization. were holding dance, to exc
cute warrant for the seizure of beer.
The soldiers drew their sabres and drove
the officers from the hall. A reinforce.
ment of fifteen policemen was called. The
police were cut and slashed and seriously
injured. The captain of the guard is
hardly recognizable from cut and bumps
on his face. All the prisoners bear marks
of the fight. They were spattered in blood
and their uniforms were in shreds. The
soldiers jumped on the police and
scratched their faces and tore their hair
out by handfuls.
After the fight five other halls were visit
ed and nearly 200 kegs of beer were

AT THE THEATERS

Los ANGELES THEATER-Pretty merry
1892 is drawing the largest and most FASH
ionable audiences of the season. Ross
Snow, Miss Bonehill, Richard Harlow and
the pretty young ladies of the ballet and
chorus have established themselves as
favorites. Fleurette is most dainty and
mating little dancer and pleases the
ladies as we'll as the gentlemen. A cleaner,
brighter or more lively entertainment has
never been given here. 1892 grows on
acquaintance.
ORPHEUM.-This is another record
breaking week at the Orpheum. Manager
Petrich has been giving strong vaudeville
show at his popular theater and the public
are showing their appreciation of his efforts
by bestowing liberal patronage. The bill
this week is pronounced the strongest ever
presented here and includes several teams
brought direct from Europe to join the
Orpheum circuit. The Deltorilli brothers
in their funny musical act are alone worth
the price of admission to see, while Mile
Marthy Martha, the French songstress. has
made great hit and is encored again and
again at every performance. The work of
Granto and Maud on the tight wire is the
| wonder of the town, but no less SO than
the funny falls made by Matthias of the
Matthias troupe in their pantomine act, Fnn

injury is the wonder of ALL The special

AN OREGON ORATOR LOOSE
IN THE SENATE

Senator Mitchell of Oregon delivered
q speech in the senate on Tuesday that
stamps him as being either legisla-
tive ignoramus or a political fraud.
He was speaking to his resolution in
struoting the financial committee of
the senate to insert in any revenue
measure reported to the senate from
the house the Mckinley duties on
wool.
One might infer from the senator's
remarks that the gold mines of this
country are threatened with immediate
exhaustion and that the United States
sheep would discontinue its growth
until the prohibitive tax of the Nc
Kinley act is restored. In the course
of vague illusions TO some of the
great industries which have been en-
dangered or destroyed by the present
tariff act he became definite enough to
assert that $s5.OO0,OOO of gold has been
drained from the country to pay for
foreign wool during the past year,
while loss of $l,000,000 has been in
in the same time.
Mr.. Mitchell speaks with all the GLIB
Indifference to facts and cause and eff
feet that is characteristic of the trained
Republican stump spouter address,
ing mass meeting of shepherds in the
wilds of his adopted state. His state
ment that 85,000,0O0 of the gold that
has been exported from the country in
the past year went to pay for foreign
wool ID pure assumption. Neither he
nor anybody else can state approxi-
mately the proportion of the exported
gold that went to pay for wool bought
abroad. In the adjustment of our for
eign transactions through the banking
and clearing house systems which OBJ
tain throughout the commercial world
gold is only used to liquidate balances
that exist between the people of this
and other countries. When we export
wheat, pork or any other commodity,
we get a credit for the value of
It in some banking institution
of the country importing our
product, and in the course of bank
ing operations that credit is used
to pay for some commodity we
have imported from the other country.
When the accounts do not balance, the
difference is paid in gold. We might
import $100,000,000 worth of wool and
pay only $5,000,0 900 in gold on account
of the purchase, the balance of the
debt being paid in other American
commodities. There are always two
sides to trade and ultimately every
dollars worth of foreign goods i'm.
ported is paid for in an equivalent
amount Of American goods. If Sena-
tor Mitchell can accurately estimate
the amount Of exported gold that went
to pay for imported wool, he is en-
dowed with clairvoyant ability that
should not run to waste in the halls of
congress another day.
But even if the United States had
paid cold $S5, 900 in good red gold
for foreign wool they would be ahead.
For this is gold producing country,
but not producer of the kind of wool
that il imported. Of course, this view

HE'S A DAISY TRAMP
But Finds His Ladder Fail Is Too Much
Appreciated

But Finds His Ladder Fail Is Too Much
Appreciated
Mr.. Ross Snow, who plays the daisy king
of Spain, Ferdinand, and the wonderfully
exact tramp in 1892, is an artist who finds
himself burdened by success that he does
not greatly value. that is, the wonderful fall
he makes from a ladder IA feet high. while
playing trombone; he lands on his feet
still footing the instrument and walks off
the stage to an accompaniment of wild ap-
plause. The thing is clever, but Mr..
Snow finds that his success In it
overshadows the artistic excellence of
his other appearances, and he is
right. As the king he does very clever
comedy work, but as Weary Waggles his
acting rises to the point of great merit, for
the picture he produces is faithful in all
details and displays an ability that is not
far from genius. In histrionic worth he
makes the character far more effective
than similar roles have been in the hands
of Hoey or Pixley, and the only fault the
audiences have to complain of about him ia
that his appearance is all too brief.
