protest against the unconstitutional and unparha-
mentary methods resorted to by the Republican ma

that the doors Of the Assembly Chamber shall be
always open was deliberately violated Our demand
that they be opened ignored
The rule requiring q report from the Committee
on Engrossed Bills before the measure could be put
upon its final passage was grossly overridden. The
constitutional provision requiring that Dill IN us
final form should be upon the desks OF the members
for three calendar legislative days before Its passage
was studiously ignored. All rules and methods or
procedure were suspended and annulled. and the
mea sure passed In a day. with the deliberate and
asserted intention OF forcing the law upon the peo-
pie OF the State, whether acceptable or not.
We assert that rights. as minority. have

ranks OF the slowly growing opposition to the
Cuban belligerency and Intervention resolutions
which the Senate conferrees accepted from the

compromise declarations OF February g. In an
elaborate speech this afternoon the New-York

phraseology OF the House resolutions and de-

and mischievous threat.
The original Senate resolutions. ne contended,
were a legitimate and proper expression OF the
feelings and wishes of Congress. entailing no un-
necessary or undesirable complications but the
House substitute he condemned as a piece or
meddlesome and ill-advlsed buncombe. Mr.. Hill
deprecated any forcing OF the Presidents mana
by the passage OF a joint resolution but fully
agreed with Mr. Hoar that concurrent declara-

Houses could have no legal force or effect

PORT ANGELES (Wash.), Jan. 19-
A remarkable instance of the manner
in which news among Indian tribes
travels over the United States has been
brought to notice by letters from the
United States Attorney General to At
tcrney w. L. Marquardt of this city.
The letters state that the news of the
killing of Philip Browne, an Indian on
the Ozette reservation, in this county.
has reached Indian tribes in several
States, and the fact that the white man
who committed the deed has gone un-
punished is likely to cause trouble.
Henry Anderson killed Browne last
summer in a quarrel over sealskins,
and on being brought here from the
reservation for trial was liberated on
the ground that the court had no juris-
diction.
A warrant was sent to Seattle this
week for Anderson's arrest, but it was
found that he had escaped on the seal
ing schooner St. Lawrence, bound for
Japan. When the schooner put in at
Neah Bay the Indians there soon dis
covered that the man who had killed
Browne was on board, and an Indian
policeman attempted to arrest him, but
was prevented by the Captain. The
Sheriff was then wired for, and quickly
left for Neah Bay. Word was received
to-day that he had captured his man,
and will bring him to this city.

A Good Example.

The town of Perry, in Oklahoma, is
all torn up over the attempt to exclude
colored pupils from the public schools
and there is danger of an outbreak of
violence Pshaw, the Perryites ought
to come to Bakersfield and see how the
different races dwell together in unity
here There are in our public schools,
side by side, children Of American, Eng
lish, Irish, Scotch, Swedish, French,
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish. German,
Greek, coIored, Chinese and Japanese
descent, and various intermingled races,
yet all live in peace and harmony.
Young China plays leap frog and
''duck on the rock" with young Sambo,
and young America is 'sit' in game of
tag in which all participate. while the
occasional scraps" that are bound to
occur in the best regulated schools are
never on national or color lines. The
example of Bakersfield in this regard is
respectfully held up to the rest Of the
world in general, and Oklahoma in
particular. .-Bakersfie Californian

Denial of the Rumor That Portugal
VIII Sell to Great Britain.
NEW YORK, jan ia special ca
bic dispatch to the Herald" from
Paris says:
A Herald" correspondent called to-
day on Senior Souza Roza, the Por-
tuguese Minister in Paris, in order to
ascertain what truth there was in the
sensational reort that Portugal would
sell Delagoa Bay and the adjacent ter
ritories to Great Britain, or to an Eng
lish syndicate, for 5000 600 francs. The
following conversation ensued:
as there any foundation for the
rumor that Portugal is to sell Delagoa
Bay to England?"
None whatever" was the reply. "In
the first place, the Portuguese Govern
ment will never sell Delagoa Bay, nor
any other portion Of Portuguese terri
tory. Moreover. the British Govern
ment. knowing this to be the fact,
could never have made to Portugal any
proposal"

CRUISER BALTIMORE.
She Proves Herself to be Stanch Ship
During Heavy Storms.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-The
United States cruiser Baltimore, Cap
tain B. D. Day, arrived this morning
eight days from Honolulu. Although
considerable repairs were effected at
the Hawiian port, the vessel still shows
scars of her encounter with the typhoon
off the Japanese coast In an inter-
view, Captain Day remarked:
81 can report that the Baltimore
never once failed us, and all through the
storms she behaved like a good, staunch
ship, as she is. We did not take the
guns out of the turrets, as the Homo
lulu papers reported, as we have no tur-
rets, and no big gun could have been
moved with the ship jumping around in
those terrible seas. The buoyancy of
the cruiser is perfect, and l consider
that the gales We're an excellent test of
her seaworthiness, through which she
behaved beautifully
The Baltimore will Immediately be
placed in the Mare Island Navy Yard
for repairs.
