BUCKET SHOPS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The post. office department today issued an order prohibiting the use of the mails to the bucket-shop operators of Chicago. The
 order was issued on the report of an in. spector, who states that nearly all the persons named have been indicted by the grand jury in Chicago. There are about sixty firms and persons against whom the order has been issued. The postofice inspector has reported several cases where persons have been swindlsd and cites one instance of an inmate of the Soldiers Home at Quincy who sent $2O0 and lost it all. The operators

Whether or not he is still in search of 8 new route to the north pole is still mystery.

SAN CARLOS COAL FIELDS.
A Rich Region Soon to Be Thrown
 Open to Settlers.

That portion of the San Carlos h. dian reservation which is now being segregated will add materially to the importance of southern Arizona as a mineral country.
 The existence of extensive bodies of coal have been known since 1873, and several efforts have been made to get the lands segregated, but not until the last session of congress was the effort successful, the tear having been, here to6ore entertained that it would pre- cipitate an Indian outbreak.
 The quality of the coal is excellent and the only question now to be de termined is the extent of the deposits. A feature that lends an element of uncertainty is that the coal stands up in Hedges insead of lying in deposits. This, however, by many is deemed an evidence of permanency and will ma terially cheapen the cost of extraction.
 The importance of these fields can be appreciated when it is understood that it Is the only coal between New Mexico and the Pacific ocean, and not only will they supply all the coal required by the railroad company, but will find ready sale for their product in all our towns as we'll as Los An geles and the interior towns of south ern California, and as the oil wells in Los Angeles are rapidly becoming ex- hausted and the boilers reconverted to coal burners, the demand will be quite large.
 South of the coal fields occur many Hedges carrying gold, silver, copper and lead in paying quantities. Little or no work, however, has been done and their extent or permanency is a mat ter of conjecture, though surface in- dications point to satisfactory results from intelligent, development.

FIXING THE WHARF.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept. 23.-A party of Santa Fe magnates visiting the city inspected the Santa Fe wharf in this city yesterday, which renewed the re- port that the Santa Fe had made deal with the Japanese Steamship company. A great deal of work is being done on the wharf. Almost the entire structure is being rebuilt, especially on the rail- road end. The officials denied their visit was anything more than in tho line of the general inspection of the sys. tenn. One official, however, says he un- derstands the company has given the same rates to Manager Iwanaga of the Noppon line to settle, as was given to President Asano of royo Risen Kaisha. The latter is engaged in securing steam CTS with the intention of running to this coast. Iwanaga is in Japan. It was the general belief here among the leading men interviewed by Iwanaga that he would run in steamers ahead of Asano.

Beranger's Terse and Clever Character
 ixation Of Victor Hugo.

4 terse and clever characterization was that by VI hic.l Beranger. the poet, summed up Victor Eus-o's relation to the great republican spirit of France. Hugo, although it is said that he was not a arepublican at the yery beginning of. his career, became a most enthusiastic and outspoken one. represented the pie torial, dramatic side of popular feeling and became so picturesque d figure in French politics that he could not have failed to serve as popular idol.
 Beranger, who was republican of the simplest type, notwithstanding his share in establishing Louis Philippe on the throne, denied the poets attitude in one line.
 One day, says the Contemporary Re view, shortly after the revolution which overtoppled that throne, an acouaint- ance of Beranger met him coming out of the Redistribution. q shali feel obliged said the poet, If you will see me home, for I do rot feel at all we'll. Those violent scenes inside there are not ] to my taste. 1 am not at ali we'll" he continued, with wistf,ll smile; II have been acensed of having held the plank over which Louis Philippe went to the Tuileries. I wish could be the bridge 1 across the Channel on which he would return. Certainly would have liked 8 1 republic, but not such as we are having | in there"
 He pointed to the home of the Con- stituent assembly. "You ought to be

A few liars less in the world would give us all more breathing room, and sweeter atmosphere.

 Men look sufficiently hideous, and undignified on a bicycle and women are worse than hideous, they are im5 modest.

Witty Retort of Priest to . Vulgar anu
 Ostentatious Parishioner.
 Concerning the celebrated Father Darcy, probably the greatest wit of that witty nation, Ireland, it IS re- lated, says the Milwaukee Journal, that he once visited the palatial mansion of a perfect specimen of the nouveauS riches who lived in the neighbo1 hood of Dublin at the invitation of its poE,pous owner. He was shown all over the house, his host taking great pains, as is habitual in such cases, to keep the witty and observant priest well in formed as to the cost of all the beauti ful things he was shown. Finally, after making the complete tour of the chateau, the library was reached. its tremendous shelves grooming under the weight of thousands upon thousands of volumes, resplendent in the most magnificent bindings. Here they seat ed themselves, and the host said, with a sigh of snobbish exultation:
 "Wen, father, I have brought you here last because this is my favorit:, room. The other rooms maybe give pleasure to my wife and my daughters, but this is my place-right here among these books, who are my friends. And these here on the desk (pointing to a score of ultra-looking volumes), are what I may call my intimate friends J
 Father Darcy got up and examined one of them, when broad grin spread over his good-natured face, as he said
 "Well, it's glad I am to see that you never cut your intimate friends"

MENELIK VICTORIOUS.

He Forced Italy to Make Treaty of
Peace.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE EvIair today
says it learns that peace has been con-
Guided between Italy and Abyssinia
on terms very favorable to the Negus,
Menelik, who gets satisfaction on all
points. The king of the Kings of
Ethiopia ''-Negusa Negyst va Etyiopia
has emerged as victor in contest
with the forces of a nation of civilized
Europe which sought to wrest from
him a heritage which had descended to
him from the founder of Abyssinia.
After the humiliation of the flower of
the invading Italian Army under the
command of Gen. Baratieri in the ear
" part of this year, the Italian forces
were withdrawn. 1t was a terrible
blow to the nation and King Humbert.
The hot talk of repriSal that ensued
when the news of the terrible slaugh-
ter of Italian soldiers by the fierce,
brave warriors of Africa on the heights
of Amba Alajc soon simmered down,
for the sending of the young men Of
Italy to die in Abyssinian wilds was
opposed by the people, and the cost of
warning with nation so far away was
too great. So the matter rested. And
noW comes the news that King Hum
bert has given up his plan of conquest.
Menelik, the brave warrior King, sue
eeeded King John, who died in 1889.
King John, too, had been soldier,
and in 1875 he vanquished the military
expedition of Ismail Pasha, who want
ed to add Abyssinia to the Egyptian
domain. Three armies of Egyptians
were annihilated at this time. Meme
Xix claims direct descent from Menelik,
the traditional founder of the kingdom
and the son of the Queen of Sheba,
King Solomon having been his sire.
Menelik was to have been crowned |
Emperor at Axum on the day Gen. |
Baratieri made his attack, with view |
to preventing the ceremony, thinking |
to find the Abyssinians off their guard. |
The result was that the Italians were |
literally overwhelmed by the Africans. |

no necessity exists for the making Of a

the history of diplomacy for treaties to
wait for years before being finally rat
flied. The Harrison treaty is in the
archives of the State Department, not
worse for wear by reason of its four
years burial. There would be no diff
ficulty in fishing il out and trying its
fortunes once more.

Senators were in favor Of the scheme
and would have voted that way had
the opportunity been offered. a num-
her Of those viii be in the next Con
gress, and it is said, have not changed
their minds.
From all the developments and
signs of the Hawaiian project it is sure
that large pecuniary interests are de-
pendent upon it, and have all along had
more to do with it than any abstract
consideration of fame and glory to
come from the acquisition of territory.
