 It was less trouble to Frev ont to bo positive than to be discreet. Hence he was man beloved of his felle ws.
 The same night Talmath Indians at- lacked the little party, and killed three of the men. Rejoining the main expedi- tion. Fremont went south again, raided raneherias for stores, wrote to Capt. Montgomery of the U. s. s. Portsmouth at San Francisco for arms and ammuni- tion, drove the Mexicans out of Sauce Tito and gave the name to the Golden Gate. On the Fourth of July he eelebra- ted in Sonoma and organized four com panies of American settlers. Thus the Bear flag men were taken under the shelter of Uncle sam's bigger banner, after having played it alone for 20 days, though some say they had an under standing with Fremont all the time.
 All this while, fighting WIS going on in Mexico, but there was 70 telegraph in those days. Sloat had lain with hia ship in Mazatlan awaiting news. Sir George Seymour with the British shiI, Cellingwood, was in San Blas Sloat feared that the collingwood would reach Monterey before him and some- how interfere with the plans Of the government; so the moment he heard the news Of fighting at Matamoras he crowded on all sail for Monterey, which he reached on July 9 That he did not raise the United States flag until five days later, while Fremont had done so good many days earlier, is the reason why Sloat is not q popular hero in Cali fornia and Fremont is. Still, Monterey has a kindly feeling for Sloat, and itz people take pride in showing visitors where the march of the marines from the water side took place.
 Probably no region so splendid and valuable was ever captured with so lit-. l tie opposition. There was q little fight ing after the 7th of July. Sloat refused 1 the offered services of Fremonts Bear i Flag battalion, but Commodore Stock ton, succeeding him, promptly accepted like offer, and six months later 1t was to Fremont that the Spanish Californi- ans surrendered, receiving uncondition- al pardon and full rights of citizenship.
 The fear of British interference was not unfounded. On July [, the very day that the flag was raised, Gov. Pic 1 Pico issued to Father McNamara q

grant of 13,500,000 acres of land--O strip from the Sierra Nevada moun- tains to the sea and from San Francisco to Los Angeles-for a British colony of 5000 families, each of which was to have 5000 acres of land! The consent of the Mexican authorities to this wasteful grant was gained on the ex- press plea that it was the only way to keep the Yankees out. But of course the grant ceased on July to be more than waste paper.
 Britain couldn't have had California anyhow. On October IT, 1S45, Secre- tary of State Buchanan wrote to Consul Larkin at Monterey: Whilst I repeat this government does not, under exist ing circumstances, intend to interfere between Mexico and California, it would vigorously interpose to prevent the latter from becoming q British or French colony"
 These existing circumstances" ceased to exist when the Mexican war began.
 First and last, there were four flag raisings in California. Commodore Thomas Alp Catesby Jones, United States naval commander in the Pacific, raised it in 1842, having heard false news of the outbreak of war. He apol- ogized and took it all back. Fremont raised it over Mount Hawk and didn't apologize. The Sonoma irrepressibles had fun with theirs, and were unno- ticed in the rush of events. But the Sloat raising was the final and official one. Hence Monterey's prospective joy.
 The Bear flag semi-centennial was held June 13, the 14th being Sunday. Harvey Patterfeld, of Napa; Benjamin Ewell, of Sonoma, and Henry Beason, of Mendocina, the only survivors of the little party of B original bear haggers, were there. and right in the middle of the, programme they reraised the pre- cious original flag with accompani- ment of huge enthusiasm. There will be more survivors and native sons in Monterey next week. J. R. JONES.

Semple. William lde and 30 other Amer ican settlers took possession of Sonoma and raised the flag of the Californian republican oblong of cloth on which caricature of bear was stained in berry juice. That Bear flag is to the Society of California Pioneers the most precious of its relics. 1t affronted the Spanish air less than month, being hauled down on July II. after the flag patriots had heard of the Monterey in- cidenh
 The hero of the Monterey celebration will be Fremont, the Pathfinder and not Sloat, the actual raiser of the flag. That can't be helped. Sloat was a lantern-jawed smooth-shaven sailor of the old school. who obeyed his orders hesitantly because they were unusual. Fremont was of the bearded. energetic, modern type so common in the war of the secession. He came over the noun tains in 1s45 upon his third expedition, leading a peaceful force of explorers and surveyors with private instruc- tions. as he says, If needed, to foil England by carrying the war then inn minent with Mexico into it's territory of California. At the fitting moment that territory was seized and held by the United States"
 A considerable number of historians say that Fremont never had any private instructions at all, or at least, any valid ones. But little matter of that sort would never have troubled John c.
 Fremont's party went by way of Salt Lake, giving its present name to Hum boldt river, and in December, 1845, turned up in Sutter's fort, where gold was soon after to be discovered. Early in 1s46 the explorer went to Monterey, called on Don Jose Castro, the Spanish hero and general, and on other promi- nent proyineials. He wintered in San Jose with the Mexicans' consent and in March resumed his explorations, when he was met by Spanish officer. Lieut.. Chavez, who ordered his party out of the territory. Fremont was not quit ter. He fortified camp on Hawk s peak, of the Gavilan. ran up the Amer iean flag and kept 1t up there three days. Later, he avoided fight with a superior force of Mexicans by drawing off north towards Oregon. Six hum dred miles north of Sutter's fort he was overtaken by messages from Lieut.. A. H. Gillespie, and turned back with the famous Kit Carson and ten other scouts to meet Gillespie.
 Here comes into the story another quarrel of the historians. The accept ed account is that Gillespie brought to Fremont a well-memorized verbal mes sage which. considered in the light of '.previous knowledge" made it plain to Fremont that "at last the time had

These ribbon-and-lace ends hang away down the back, and across the skirt are not one, but two or three bands of the lace without the ribbon.
 White muslin and black lace over checked silk is an odd combination, and charming costume is black and white silk skirt with black coat bodice and an embroidered white satin waist coat.

 The bloomer bathing suit is made with short skirt over it. In many bath ing resorts this summer, the bloomers will be frankly worn without the skirt, as the bicycle has taught the wearer confidence; but hardly in Newport. The materials may be dotted white fannels. or preferably cream or gray, trimmed with black ribbon and worn with jaunty cap, or black eravette trimmed with white silk braid, or flannel cut in bolero jacket with full blouse waist. A jaunty effect is given by sandals with straps laeing half way up to the knee. The neeks of modish gowns are always cut modestly high, the sleeves short and the skirt not so long as the boomers by two or three I inches.

Monterey, Cal.-The City of the Mountain of the King is getting ready to celebrate in fine, large California raising of the flag of the republic; and owing to the eommendable foresight of Commodore Sleat, U. S. N, in hoist ing the Stars and Stripes on July T, t846, just three days after the glorious Fourth of that year, the rest Of the country will have to envy Monterey a four-day celebration, Q grand Saturday :o-Tuesday jamboree with q few hours of Sunday to sleep in.
 For that matter California. has had semi-eentennials in plenty during the oast year or so, and will for four years to come, if the discovery of gold in 1s47, the argonautic expedition of 1S49 and the admission of the state in 1850 are aot forgotten by the energetic Slopers

Three Dollars a Quart.

In speaking of the Papazo Indians MT. Melee said; ..They inhabit coun- try of broad plains, with mountain ranges between. The mountains are re. markedly rugged and rise sharply from the lowlands. All over the plains live the Indians. The country is one of the most arid regions on the face of the globe, a whole year passing sometimes without drop of rain. Geologically, it is a curious place. The streams rise in the mountains, but never reach the sea, and the debris carried by the rivers, instead of finding it's way to the ocean, is spread upon the plains, the rivers drying up before they reach the sea. Semland, in the state of Sonora, was never seen by a white man until about two years ago, when the bureau of ethnology sent out an expedition to ex- plore that region. The natives are con stantly vigilant every moment, from day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year, expecting and dreading the approach of an enemy. They are always prepared for any emer- gency. The dearth of water was the greatest obstacle to the exploration. Every drop we used was carried from 12 to Is miles hy men under heavy guard. Water there is more valuable than gold, and often we measured it out in spoonfuls. In counting the dan gers and labor of securing water we estimated it worth at from three dol lars to four dollars quart. t."-Chicago PoSf

The Arkansas Election.

The democrats have as good reason for
rejoicing over the returns from Arkansas
as the republicans had for rejoicing over
the returns from Vermont. In 1894 the
democrats had plurality of 4S.724, and a
majority of only about 24.OOO This year it
looks as if the democratic majority would
reach 5000. That is a very remarkable
change in two years-from 24,OOO to 65OOO-
and fully justifies the democrats in claim
fair indication of the sentiment of the
country
The populists awaited the result of the
Arkansas election with special interest.
They expected it would show an increase
in the populist vote. The populist vote in
1892 was II, $751; and in 1894. 24,541. 1t more
than doubled in two years. If it had
shown an increase this year the populists
would have made it the basis of a de-
mand for the retirement of Mr.. Sewall
from the democratic ticket, and the put
ting of Mr.. Watson in his place. But the
populists do not appear to have cut much
of a figure in the election. 1t is
said that many Of them have gone back to
the democratic party. But whether they
have or not, thousands of them voted the
democratic ticket.
Mr.. Watson and his supporters viii get
but little comfort out of the Arkansas
election. In fact, in the south the demo-
Gratis have no need for populist help. In
the west they need their help, and there
haF 70 nd r.
is being satisfactorily arranged. The am
bilious project of Senator Butler and Mr.
Watson TO have the populist party absorb
the democratic party will not be carried
into effect this year.
