Death by an Indian.

OAKLAND, Nov. 29.-Elauia Wilson,
an Indian, set upon Antoine Silva,
half-caste Portuguese, near Pleasanton

with a threat Of the same cruel treat
ment, Wilson made his escape.
The murder was committed on the
ranch of John Arbors, three miles
southwest of Pleasanton. Adjoining
the Arbors ranch is an Indian ranch
eria, where a small tribe of Diggers
and half-breed Indians have made their
home for many years. Louise Morales

short time ago Elauia Wilson was her
accepted sweetheart. Latterly she has
shown a preference for Silva. The riv-
ais met last night, and the murder

GOVERNMENT FINANCES.
Receipts and Expenditures for the
Month of November.

WASHINGTON, Nov %. The
forthcoming November statements of
the Governments receipts and ex-
penditures will show that the receipts
during November so far have reached
22.9o0S90, which indicates a total of
about SO, 600, 900 for the month. This
is a trifling Improvement over October,
when the receipts We're S24 ,391 ,415. The
deficit thus far during November stands
at SS,512, 100, which is larger than was
expected.
The deficit for the fiscal year stands
at S46,5 ,5S1, ,120, the receipts having been
S12T, 101, 100 and the expenditures STA,
2S2, $50
The receipts of the customs SO far
this fiscal year undoubtedly will fall
considerably short of the estimates
made by the managers of the new tariff
bill during it's pendency in Congress.
AT that time it was estimated that GUS
toms would yield about $50, 00O 900
during the first year The indications
now are said to be that the receipts
from this source will not aggregate
more than $165,00O000.

Important Decision Rendered by
Superior Judge Mahon.

weeks ago the Supervisors decided to
refund the bonds of Kern County,
amounting to $250G00. AT the same

that the County Government Act of

Act of 1893 requiring bonds to be sold
by the Treasurer. He also held that a
contract to sell bonds cannot be made
before they are issued.

Now York, Oct. 19.-The Daily
Goods Record tomorrow will say:
"Working on those lines by which
suoh close estimates to the actual

were obtained, the figures just now
obtained indicate crop for lS07-08
which varies from S,055, 1888 bales to
o,s7I,532 bales of 500 pounds each.
Eor the last crop, or l806-07, our
estimate was 8,722,00I bales, against
S,7l4,O1 bales as the actual returns
while the estimate for the previous
year, Or 1805-96 was 7,142,OOO
bales, compared with 7,162,473
bales. This eloseness Of these esti-
mates to the actual returns has
stamped them with the imprint of
correctness, and for the current crop
year our estimate is submitted with
