THE OVERDUE RIO.
No News of the urance
on the Vessel Begins to
Climb I'm.

The Pacific Mail steamship Rio Janeiro
is out thirty-ive days from this port bound
for Yokohama and no tidings have come in
from her. The steamship EMPRESS OF In
dia, which arrived at Victoria Tuesday
night, reported that February 80, when
one day out from Yokohama, she sighted
steamer which was supposed to be the
Rio.
However. the Pacific Mail officials do
not believe the vessel seen by the India
was the missing steamship, and they are
getting more anxious concerning the fate
of the big Pacific liner as the hours go by.
Still, her case cannot be considered hope
less, as several causes might keep her at
sea and prolong her passage even into a
danger length. a break in the machinery
would force Captain Russell to depend on
his small sail power alone, in which case
the clumsy Rio would creep over the
ocean for days unless found and towed in
by some more fortunate steamer. But it
must be considered that she would fare
badly should the usual fierce Asiatic gale
catch her in that disabled condition.
General Agent Center of the Pacific Mail
Company refused to be interviewed regard
ing the overdue vessel, and cannot give
any information whatever. The first offer
for reinsurance on the Rio was made in
London yesterday morning, and Is per
cent was paid in. The companies have
fought shy of risk so far, but now that
start has been made it is thought that the
reinsurance will go up to % per cent. and
even higher, to-day.
The steamship China, which will sail for
the Orient Saturday, will follow in the
track of the Rio Janeiro and search care
fully for the derelict during the passage
across the Pacific. The City of Peking
sailed for Yokohama subsequent to the
Rio, but as she took the southern route it
is not probable that she will see or hear of
her overdue sister till she reaches port.
She should reach Yokohama next Sunday.

LAVEAGA'S LEGACY.
Judge Coffey Has Allowed Him the
Full Amount.

Judge Coffey Has Allowed Him the
Full Amount.
Joseph Laveaga has been allowed the
entire amount Of the $4,000 left him by
his uncle, Jose Vicente Laveaga. Joseph
Laveaga was the illegitimate son of Jose
Laveaga's brother.
In his will Jose Laveaga left several be-
quests, which he made chargeable upon
the sale of the Los Aguillas ranch. The
ranch realized only abou. 40 per cent of
what was expected. however, and an at
tempt was made to cut down all the
demanded his $50, 600 legacy from the gen
eral funds of the estate. and after carefully
examining the will and the numerous
codicils attached Judge Coffey has allowed
this to be done.
Joseph Laveaga is fighting for one
quarter residue OF the estate, the share his
father, if living, would take, but it is
claimed that an illegitimate son cannot be
heir to an uncle, even though he has been
acknowledged. This case is still pending.

HOW THE FIGHT WAS WON.
New officers in the Stock Exchange.
No More .AsSeSsments-Smaller
Salaries.

Jere Lynch and reform won the day at
the general meeting of Hale & Norcross
yesterday. Messer's hosts were gathered
strong. They blocked the entire room
and they tried to block the entire reform
movement.
AS the secretary read off each name at
the election yesterday the proxies all cried
"Messer' and how many proxies there
really we're. But stock is better than
proxies. 1t was stock that carried the day
for Lynch and reform. When John Does
name was called and the proxy answered
"Messer" there was always some one to
call "stock'-"L Lynch" at the same time.
MIR. Messer's attorney formally protested
against stock being voted against proxies,
but even the Messer men laughed ut the
objection, and the stock was counted.
1t took more than two hours to COM
plete the vote, but when the result was
announced the successful ones sent up
rousing cheer that was heard down on the
street, and then the street knew that Jere
and reform had carried the day. The
word was quickly passed along and soon
the rejoicing was general.
S@There are 1l2, 900 shares of stock in the
Hale d Norcross mine ana 107, 600 of them
were voted, either by stock or proxy. The
vote stood: Messer 81, 1921 and Lynch So
9155s. The result in detail was as follows:
Shares.
For Lynch, stock ck-...................... 4s,27s5s
For Lynch, proxies. ....................... 1857
. Total. 55,sl55s
For Messer, stock. Ills 6-S
For Messer, 4003S 6-S
Total. Observation-Disclosures. 6l,1521s
Only casual glance at these figures will
tell the story of the long fight more plainly
than column of explanation would make
them. Lynchs vote was largely stock
Messer's vote was largely proxies.
Two weeks ago Lynch had but 1927
shares to vote, while Messer had proxies
amounting to 50,903. The Lynch fcrces
must have done some hard work. Their
work was clean-cut and above board, how
ever. They gathered in the actual stock
and put no faith in proxies.
One Of the peculiar things of the election
and the long fight that preceded it was the
action of DR.. NJ. 4. Cachot OF the old
boardc He was elected on the reform
ticka and all sorts of reforms were prom
ised Spr him and by him. Yesterday Dr.
Cachit cast in his lot with the Messer
forces, and now people are wondering just
what kind OF a reformer he really is or was.
AS to the reforms OF the new administra-
ton, there appears to be no sort of uncer-
tainty. Reform and economy are the
watchwords and the work has begun al
ready. The new presidents salary is
500. The old one received S125 a month.

IHTith a better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
orts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actwal dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly 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. tits therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

\ DYNAsTIC EVENT
The Pri>ce's Derby was at once INTERPRETED as
dynastic event. 1t had increased the popu-
larity OF the heir to the throne. II had brought
the Royal Family into closer touch with the
recreations and daily life Of the people 1t had
strengthened the monarchy by invigorating the
sentiment OF loyalty There was talk of this
Kind in the Enclosures, and enthusiastic veterans
OF the turf had a vrtuous feeling of patriotic
satisfaction before settling their bets or making
ventures upon the closing races of the day. Tho
turf had been shown by the Derby to be n polit-
cal institution a royal stable. with a racing
stud was a good foundation for popular mon
archy, Echoes Of these reflections were appar-
entity heard In several newspaper Offices. where
the Prince Of Wales's victory was celebrated
with fervent spirit as an occasion for national
gratitude. Possibly before this letter is written
the Poet Laureate will follow up his lyric on
Jamesons raid with an ode to Persmmon.
The Queen. however. during her long reign
has succeeded in commanding the affections of
her subjects. and in rendering monarchy useful.
respectable and popular in England without talk
ing any interest in the turf. That is a fact which
breaks the force of the inflated writing about
the dynastlc importance of the Princes Derby.
Moreover. the Prime Minister. who won two
Derbys In succession. did not materially increase
his popularity thereby, for he defeated and
ovorthrown. with every sign ot overwhelming
popular disapproval. after his second victory at
EPSON The Prince OF Wales is a true sports
man. and the English people We're pleased To-
have him win the Derby, because he had earned
ii by long course of painstaking and intel-
gent effort. and by not little bad luck. This
made PersimmOn's performance at Epson
popular one. and that was. perhaps, all that
could justly be said about 1t. The stability Of
the monarchy can hardly be said to depend upon
the Royal news l. ~ i.
