ated in and were transferred from the
superior court. At the recent session of
the latter court nearly 200 misdemeanor
cases were thus transferred, the batch
promising a goodly sum in the way of

consumed by attorneys for either side in
arguments. Judge Maynard finally sus-
tanned Solicitor General Hooper. II has
been the custom heretofore for the solicit

drew bills of Indictment.

CALIFORNIA HISTORY.
Only Accident Prevented II from Becon-
Ing Russian Territory.

Ing Russian Territory.
Nothing perhaps but the accident OF
the establishment Of the Hudson Bay
company and the Northwest Fur com
pany saved northern California from be
coming a Russian province. Virtus
Bering closed life of adventure by
Llanting the Russia, flag in Alaska in
174I. Four years later SitLea was
founded. A quarter of a century
elapsed before the Spaniards undertook
their first northward advance from San
Diego and Monterey. If the English
fur hunters had not intervened between
the two Spaniards and Russians would
have gravitated toward each other, and
in that case the chances are that the
Golden Gate and the Sacramento would
have been the dividing line betw cen
them.
Until the close Of the eighteenth cen
'ury hunting and fishing on the Alaskan
shores were conducted by individual en-
terprise. The fur seal and sea otter
were hunted by Siberians. who sailed
the stormy seas of the north in craft
sewn together with thongs and calked
with moss. They belonged 20 the prinu-
tive order of savages, among whom rob
berry, outrage and murder were the or
binary events of the day. and at hose
hands the meek Aleut bent his Ds5.k 70
the knife as the inofensive Peruvian had
crUuched before the countrymen Of Pr
zarro a century before. In the last
year Of the eighteenth century order
was established in Russian America. A
company. in which the members Of the
Imperial family and the huscovite DO
i,ility were shareholders, was founded
Un the plan of the British East India
com psny and The Hudson Bay company.
