Whether the murderer comes from the
cutters or can claim the bluest blood in
the land as an heritage, let the people of
the south demand that their reproach shall
be taken away, and that the man who
kills, except in self-defense, shall receive
the sentence due for his crime. If 1898 shall
bring to this section awakening of pub
lie opinion and sentiment on this question,
it will prove one of the brightest years
in all the long history of a glorious peo-

From the latest development In the muir

appear to have been the least semblance
of a cause for it. 1t was one OF the most

be selected to try the case will not have TO

the habeas corpus route out of jail
Earl Rogers. Esq, who has repre-
sented both defendants, went to San
Francisco and applied to the supreme
court for writ. In arguing the matter
he contended that contempt, for which
both defendants were sentenced to eighty
days in the county Jail, when not COM
mitted in the presence of the court was
similar in this and every other criminal
proceeding-that a complaint ought to
be issued in order that the defendants
might know exactly the offense charged
against them and be able to prepare a
defense. The supreme court granted the
writ, and the matter came up before
Judge Shaw yesterday. But Judge Shaw
followed the usual custom when he de-
clined to sit and review the acts of an
other judge of the same court. The mat
ter was thereupon continued until Mon
day, and it is understood that an under
standing has been arrived at with the
district attorney and that the matter
will be transferred to San. Diego county
and the writ made returnable before

A DUTCH INVASION
PROBABLE IF SUGAR BETS CAN
BE RAISED HERE
T. G. P. 2. Roosendaal Has Taken
Samples of Southern California
Soil to Wealthy Hollanders

There is strong proba bility of an in
vasion of the Dutch into this locality in
the near future, but it will be peaceful
invasion, and the possibilities that may
result from it are rich in promise.
T. c. p. Zeenhupzen Roosendaal-it
is tautology to add that the gentlemanis
from Holland-paid visit to the cham
Der of commerce recently, and examined
very minutely the products of Southern
California, especially those of the sugar
industry.
Mr.. T. C. P. z. R. stated that he was the
representative of one of the wealthiest
organizations in Amsterdam, and had
been sent here to examine the soil and
facilities for manufacturing beet sugar
He also stated that after having made
a tour of investigation through Germany
and the western states on this continent
he was in a position to say that he found
the soil here better adapted for raising
sugar beets than the foreign country or
any other part of the United States.
Mr.. Roosendaal when he left took
samples of the soil from Chino, Alami
tos and Antelope valley. When he reach
es Holland the soil will be subjected to a
thorough analysis, and if the report is
satisfactory The Holland. company will
probably purchase from 5000 to 10000
acres of land in this vicinity. and col
Dry will start from Holland, settle on the
land and engage in the raising of beets
and the manufacture. of sugar.
The plans of colonization are already
made out. The association will provide
twenty acres for each farm, and erect
suitable buildings; then sell the land on
easy terms, and SO arrange matters that
the members of the colony will have
homes ready for them from the moment
they arrive here While here, Mr.. Roos-
endaal was the guest of Col Albert DE-

MISSIONARIES NOT APPRECIATED

Some Of the effects OF the labors OF

He appealed to those who profess
Christianity to follow the teachings Of

and not to corrupt the nations they
undpr,ake to evangelz9. OF the mis-.
sionaries In IHdia he said that they
teach the ignorant people that their
sino will be washed away, anu. gladly
accepting this doctrine, the bearers
became drunken or given to other
