Los ANGELES SENSATION.
British Vice-Consul Mortimer
Complains of an Insult
on the Fourth.
Three Policemen Suspended for Having
Hauled Down an English
Flag.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 14.-Some-
thing of sensation was created here to-
day when it was learned that her Maiesty's
subject, British Vice-Consul Mortimer,
had been insulted on Independence day
by minions of the law and had COM
planned bitterly of the insult, addressing
a caustic letter to Mayor RAIDER on the
subject. This epistle was considered by
the Police Commissioners to-day. 1t was
as follows:
On the 4th instant, shortly before the pro-
cession passed my Office, three policemen, ac-
companied by ten or twelve other persons
called at my office and requested me to haul
down the British flag or to hoist the American
flag with it Upon my declining 10 do so,
they intimated that they would haul it down,
stating that the procession would soon
allowed to remain as it was there
would be riot I warned them not TO 90
this, and they then said they would telephone
TO the Chief OF Police for instructions. Would
you kindly inform me whether these men were
acting under instructions from the municipal
authorities, and ii they were not so acting
what steps you propose taking in the matter?
G. WHITE MORTIMER.
Chief Glass said "Gentlemen, lust one
word on this matter. These officers were
Messrs. Mclean, Reynolds and Baker. 1t
was the most tiagrant display of ignorance
l ever heard Of They acted entirely with
out authority from any superior
1t won't do any harm TO hear what
they have to say for themselves" said
Mr.. Barham. Mayor RAIDER didn't be-
ieve the men were actuated by any wrong
motives, but they were melted to act as
they did by some over-impulsive patriots.
He agreed with Mr.. Barham that the men
should be heard, and Mr.. Long therefore
substituted for his motion another 10 the
effect that officers Baker, Mclean and
Reynolds be suspended, with notice to APP
pear next Tuesday to set forth the reasons
why their suspension should not be made
indefinite.

uent Ia0t ne was Innocent.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, July IA
Yesterday the little cabin occupied by
Cyrus Barnard, the supposed murderer of
Mrs. Richardson and her daughter, Ethel
was taken down. To-day sensational
rufnor was current on the streets that
under the floor a pit was concealed, in
which MANY articles of significance were
found, indicating that Barnard had been
engaged in the petty robberies that have
troubled Santa Barbara for year past, and
had used this as q receptacle for booty.
This tale is positively denied by Barnard 8
stepfather, Peterson, and the Sheriff, both
declaring that not particle of incriminat-
ing evidence was anywhere found, and
that the little pit beneath the house.
which had merely been used for wood
box, had been thoroughly examined after
the young man was killed.
Peterson, a very earnest and conscien-
tious man, has examined the bloody shirt
found by Officer Storm and declares that
he never saw one in any way resem bling it
In Barnard's possession. He calls espe-
ciai attention to long patch sewed with a
mans awkward stitches on one sleeve, and
asserts that Cyrus Barnard, unlike most
bachelors, never mended his clothes, pre-
terring to either replace them or TO les
them hang in rags and tatters il he wat
not in funds. Mrs Peterson used often to
take pity upon HIM and mend them, but
this was all the attention they received,

SCORED BY A PORTLAND JUDGE.
Treasury Agent chappeHe Re6uked for
Alleged Misuse of His
AUTHORITY

PORTLAND. Or, July 14.-At the con-
clusion of the trial this morning in the
United States court of Joseph Dolan, ar
rested by Treasury Agent ChappeIle for
conspiring in the admission of Chinese,
Judge Bellinger said:
ut may seem strange that did not pay
more attention to the instructions re-
quested by the attorney for the defense
asking that the jury be told to render q
verdict of not guilty without leaving their
seats. but l abstained simply because
wished to see what credit they would place
on such testimony as these two uncorrob-
GRATED, self-confessed periurers, Ritter and
Lindley, had given.
81 wish to state, however, that should
the jury bring in verdict of conviction
against the defendant Dolan, which there
is little probability of their doing will
Immediately set 1t aside and discharge the
defendant; and were any argument made
against such decision l would immediately
find the officer of this court making such
argument guilty of contempt. This cause
should never have been brought and the
time of this court and jury, aside from the
useless expense to the Government in.
Cured In the trial, been taken up.
II am disguised that men of intelli-
gence, and here glance was shot at the
Treasury Agent SHOULD have misused
their authority, even though it be but tenn
porary."
With this the indignant Judge, without
even so much as dismissal of the stand
ing men, swung his chair around and with
set face walked into his chambers. Law
yers OF quarter-century practice, who
were in the courtroom, state that never
in their experience have they heard such
an arraignment from the bench of the
prosecution, and particularly in Govern
ment case. If Judge Bellinger's face was
white with indignation, that of Chappelle
was pale with rage and chagrin.

An Unmasked Bandit Demands
Contributions From All
Who Pass.
ONE VICTIM A DETECTIVE.
Hawkshaw Gibson of San Francisco
Adds TO the Road Agents
Exchequer.

NEVADA, CAL, July IA single road
agent, unmasked and under the light of a
midday sun, collected toll from travellers
along the North San Juan road this fore
noon. OF the half-dozen men halted by
this remarkably bold outlaw, two con-
tributed goodly sums TO his exchequer.
After having compelled the payment of
involuntary subscriptions sufficient to pro-
vide for him the necessaries of life for
some time to come, he withdrew from the
scene, and the Nevada City constahulary
has searched for him in vain.
Detective Thomas B. Gibson and Charles
Sladky, of San Francisco, were returning
to this city from North San Juan. They
were halted by the highwayman when
within three miles OF town, at 10 O'Clock
in the morning. The robber was not
masked and the men in the buggy were
greatly surprised when he covered them
with Winchester rife and ordered Gibson
TO throw up his hands Gibson said he
could not, as his horses would run away
Sladky was then ordered to throw up his
hands, but made some excuse. He was
next told to stand up and throw out his
money. This demand he obeyed, and
tossed into the road about $40. Gibson
was commanded TO pass out his money,
but told the robber he had none. With an
oath, the road agent again ordered him TO
empty his pockets. and Gibson then tossed
ont about SIS n coin.
The robber wanted fine gold watch and
chain that Sladky carried, but Gibson ar
gued with him, explaining that if he took
the watch it would be the means OF his be-
ing captured. He told the road agent he
ought TO be satisfied with having been
given al their money. At this moment
another carriage came into sight and Glib
son and his friend we're told TO drive on.
In the second vehicle were Robert
Latta. hveryman, and P. G. Peters, q
painter, both from this city. They were
stopped snd compelled to turn their pockets
inside out, but having no money we're or
dered to drive out Of sight as fast as pos
sible-
John Moulton, who was on horseback
with 500 On his person, two women in q
carriage and 8 man in q cart would doubt
less have been robbed had they not been
warned by those already held no.
Sheriff Douglass snd Deputy Pascoe,
who started for the scene as soon as noti-
fed OF the robberies, returned at 6 O'Clock
this evening They had found no trace of
the bold highwayman, of whom they have
s good description. The fellow was mod
estly but not meanly dressed, small OF
stature with a sandy mustache and 8
weeks growth of beard.

HGlifdr Oysters aud Holsters.
VANCOUVER, B. c., July 1.-THE
Fisheries Department of the Federal Gov
eminent is trying an interesting expert
ment just now-the transplanting in
Canadian Pacific waters OF Halifax oysters
and Holsters. There arrived from the
East this week by special freight large
consignment of Young oysters and Holsters.
-Four hundred of the Holsters were killed
by the jolting OF the cars out OF 600 sent.
Several million of lobster eggs shipped at
the same time came through in good condi-
ton. Eight barrels of oysters arrived all
alive and in good condition. A lot OF
black bass was also sent out for the Fraser
River.
On arrival here the entire consignment
was taken several miles up the coast BY
steamer to insure them home in abso-
Iuteiy salt water. They will be imprisoned
for time before systematic distribution
along the coast of Vancouver Island and
mainland begins. This is simply an ex-
periment-an attempt to ascertain
weather Pacific waters will nourish the
del icious bivalyes or lobstersEof Nova
Scotia as well as the salt water of the
Atlantic. If the experiment is successful

was a large attendance at the Chautauqua
session at Long Beach to-day. Dr. A. J.
Frost has charge of the Bible-reading,
which opens in the morning and continues
for several hours.
The most interesting part of the pro-
gramme to-day was Professor John C.
Film ores lecture on "Indian Music"
In introducing the subject he said that
only within recent years had it been posi-
BILE to gain any information concerning
folk songs of the North American aborig-
ines. To Miss Alice c. Fletcher, an assist
ant of Professor Putnam in the Peabody
Institute of Harvard University, was due
the credit of being the one to throw the
first light on the subject.
In 1880 she visited the Omahas, and by
her philanthropy and tact succeeded in
gaining the confidence of the tribe to the
extent that the Indians allowed her to at
tend their musical ceremonies and secure
copies of over 1000 of their songs. Many
of these songs were religious ana were the
staple of important ceremonies which were
held sacred from the white men.
One OF these was the sacred fellowship
pipes, full chorus service, which lasted
from four to five hours. Professor Fill
more also spoke of the music of other
American tribes, the Esquimaux, Van
couyer Island Indians, Chinese and South
Sea islanders.
Professor Thomas T. Bailey lectured on
Pedagogy" aud Miss Leila Fetra was
heard on "Music Sight-reading." A con-
cert was given this evening under the di-
rection of Professor G. S. Cornell.
