RUSSIA AND FRANCE.
The Gar Makes Mention of the
"Allied Nations"

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26.-At a
luncheon given to-day in honor of the
Car on board the French cruiser Po-
thuau, the Gar, in proposing a toast
to the French President, said:
Your stay among US creates a fresh
bond between our two friendly and al
lied nations, which are equally re-
solved to contribute with all their
power to the maintenance of peace in
the world in the spirit of right and
equity"
The Cars mention of the ''allied ma
tons" is the first occasion upon which
an alliance between Russia and France
has been officially mentioned.
PARIS. Aug. 27.-All the daily papers
have editorials commenting on the i'm
portance of the announced Franco
Russian alliance
1t is the general belief that the alli-
ance is the outcome of prolonged con-
ferenees between Count Muravieff,
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and 81. Hanotaux. Great Importance is
attached to the statement that M. Han
otaux will return via Warsaw to VI
emma, in order to interview Count Co
luchowski, Austrian Minister of For
eign Affairs.
1t is also stated, but not yet con-
firmed, that President Faure will stop
at Copenhagen on his way home,
charged by the Car with a mission for
the King of Denmark, or the Dowager
CZarina

Fears That an Attempt Will be Made
to Lynch Pedro vinaIy,
Who Shot and Seriously Wounded Miss
PeriOr Last Tuesday.
The Sheriff Te1egraphs Major-Gen-
eral Jones for Assistance, and
Companies R of CoIusa and D
of Marysville Have Been Order
ed Out to Guard the Jail.

COLUSA, Aug. 26.-This town is in a
state of great excitement tonight over
the announcement that the attempts in
augurated last night to lynch Pedro
Vinaly are to be renewed before dawn.
Ever since Vinaly attempted to muir
der the girl last Tuesday threats of
lynching have been heard on every
street corner. Nothing but the precari-
Gus condition of Vinaly, who has been
lying in the County Jail, prevented an
earlier attempt to wreak summary ven
geance on him.
This evening the Sheriff was informed
that forty citizens armed with rifles and
pistols would besiege the jail, and he
wired to Major General James, COM
handing the National Guard, asking
that the militia companies at Colusa
and Marysville be sent to his assist
ance. The Sheriff has had a force Of
deputies armed with shotguns on guard
at the Jail day and night since Tuesday,
but he feared the defense force would be
inadequate to repel the expected attack.
General James, by telegraph, ordered
out the Colusa company, and as he was
informed that several of the Colusa
company were related to Miss Perior,
and so might possibly sympathize with
the lynchers also ordered out the MEM
bers of Company D of Marysville.
BY midnight the Sheriff expects to
have the jail surrounded by a force of
National Guardsmen and deputies suffi-
GENTLY strong to resist any attempt
which may be made to wrest the pris-
oner from his custody.
~
MARYSVILLE, Aug. 26.-Telegraph-
ic orders were received this evening from
Major General James ordering Com
pany D, National Guard, to proceed at
once to Colusa and aid the Sheriff in
guarding the Jail against the expected
attack of a mob who, it is feared, will
attempt to lynch Pedro Vinaly, the at
tempted murderer of Miss Perior. In
response to this order Captain Voos,
with a detachment of % men, left to-
night at $50 for Colusa.
GEN. JAMES ORDER APPROVED.
SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 26.-Lieutenant-
Governor and Acting Governor Jeter
received a telegram this evening from
Major General James, commanding the
National Guard Of California, advising
him that the Sheriff Of Colusa County
anticipates an attack tonight upon the
Jail by an armed mob, and asking the
assistance of companies from Colusa
and Marysville.
General James replied that he would
order Companies G and d to repair
forthwith to the County Jail at Colusa,
and act under the orders of the Sheriff,
providing Acting Governor Jeter should
so direct a step which General James
himself recommended. Jeter at once
wired his approval, and the necessary
orders were issued.

AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.
The Shakeress Fully Enjoyed the
Performance of DUTY.

One of the peculiar customs charac-
teristic of the religious sect known as
the Shakers is that of leaving nothing
upon their plates after they have fin
iShed meal Their economical prin-
ciple is that no particle of food must
go to waste, and so, in the popular
phrase, they seat it to save it." Not
only must each person account for all
of his own portion, but if necessary he
must bear a hand to help others who
may have more trouble in disposing of
theirs. That this is not regarded, at
least in some cases, as a hardship
seems to be proved by an incident
which occurred not long ago near a
Shaker settlement
One of the worlds people" who
lived near by, a woman of means and
of a charitable disposition, invited all
the children who belonged to the Shak-
er settlement to a dinner at her house.
These children are those whom the
Shakers have adopted and are educat-
ing in their faith, that it may not die
out with the present generation of eld-
ers. An old Shakeress accompanied the
children to look after them She at
tended to all their wants at the table,
and after they had finished she moved
rapidly about from plate to plate, dis
posing of all the remnants before
which their infantile powers had failed.
The mistress of the house watched her
with increasing wonder, and when the
entire circuit had been made and no
scrap of anything remained, ventured
to ask if she had enjoyed herself
Yea, oh, yea" responded the old
Shakeress, sedately; Tive had a most
excellent opportunity and I've eat a
sighti"-New York Tribune.

ACTING GOVERNOR JETER.
Will Only Attend to Business of
Immediate Necessity.

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 26.-Lieutenant-
Governor Jeter states he is now Acting
Governor, having been notified a week
ago to assume the duties of the office.
He says Governor Budd is now in Ore
gon his exact whereabouts Jeter does
not know AS Budd is expected to re-
turn to the State next week, Jeter says
he will only attend to business of i'm
mediate necessity.
He refused to commute Hill's sentence
because the latter had had fair trial.
and Jeter did not think it a case where
executive clemency could be exercised.
Most of the appeals for clemency were
based on sentiment and sympathy,
rather than on facts.
The papers in the Anender murder
case were given to Jeter, but he is UNI
decided at present whether or not to
examine into it.
Jeter has signed a reQuisition for the
contract for the affiliated college build
ings.

in to finish his man, and rushed him
into a corner. Green was tired, and
could not keep away. Green landed
occasionally, but could do no harm
Seventeenth round-Walcott was now

crowd began to melt away. The negro

Walcott, and there was a howl of de-
light from the crowd.

on the jaw sent Green on the floor for
eight seconds. He got up groggy, and

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CROPS
Fruits Ripen Rapidly Under the
Influence of Warm Weather.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-The crop
report for Southern California for the
week ending August 23d, prepared by
Observer Franklin, is as follows:
Extremely warm weather prevailed
the latter part of the week. Fruits
ripened rapidly under the influence of
the warm dry air, which enabled the
fruit drying to proceed with great dis
patch. The very warm weather was
hard on beans, and should it continue
will cause considerable injury. Hay
and barley are good average crops, of
superior quality. Peaches are abund-
ant. Prunes and Bartlett pears are a
light crop, prunes in some sections being
a failure. Walnuts are maturing finely.
Oranges are increasing in size and the
trees are very full.
