is remarked as highly probable
that the Queen of England had
not a little to do with the reversal
of Lord Salisbury's policy in the
Venezuelan matter. In view OF
many incidents of this character.
it is apparent that the Queen and
the Prince Of Wales have person
ally interested themselves in the
policy of reconciliation with
America. and il is their earnest
and honest hope that this festal
year shall be marked by the es-
adjustment of an international
arbitration court.

SHARP DISCRIMINATION.

The Immigration bill recently
passed by the American Congress,
but vetoed by the President, eX-
hibits the relentless, cruel meth
DDS of legislation, SO far as indi-
yiduals are concerned. Along the
extended frontier of tine States IS
the Canada line. Across this line
industrious, thrifty and desirable
men 90. at certain seasons of the
wear. when there is an extra de
mand for labOrers on the Amerl-
can farms. This bill fOrbids this
movement. An English Canadian
cannot help his brother American
over the line 500 feet away. The
hay may be exposed to a storm,
the cattle may need tending. The
Canadian looks over the fence,
and says: Il wish to help you"
The immigration law replies:
"Do not move a step, or you will
be arrested" The living of many
industrious men will be put in
danger. if this law is passed. 1t
tends. no doubt, to keep out some
undesirable people, and may les
sen competition, but it also tends
to retaliatOry laws and the inter
ruption of commerce.
The law is vague in some re
spects. If a japanese or other
alien enters the United States
with the intention of returning
home "frOm time to time" he may
come within the letter Of the pro
posed law and be excluded
Whether it was or was not in
tended by the trainers of the law
to strike at Japanese immigra-
tion is not clear. 1T shows, how
ever. the strong hand of the la
boring man in American legisia-
ton. Its effects may be ludicrous
when it is enforced along the
vast frontier.

The London correspondent Of
the New York Tribune writes a
most interesting letter on the
Anglo-SaXon issues, dealing more
particularly with the real cause
of the unusual attentions paid
Ambassador Bayard by the I'm
periaI household of Great Britain.
The correspondent claims that
Mr.. Bayard's personality figures
very little. if any, in the kindly
manner with which he is received.
The true inwardness of the mat
ter is that the Queen and the
Prince of Wales, by showering
compliments upon the American
representative. are demonstrating
their kindly feeling for the Amer
lean people. The fact is, the
Queen has always desired an i'm
prOvement in the relations be
tween Great Britain and the
United States. 1t was the Queen
who held in check the hot heads
of Great Britain during the Amer
lean Civil War. 1t was the Queen
who made most enjoyable the
visit of the Ancient and Honor
able Artillery in London, and it

The outbreak of the Japanese
at Spreckelsville gives our good
citizens IA nice example of the
character of the people with
which this country has been
largely populated in the last 10
years. The chances are ten to one
that these outbreaks will increase
according as the numerical
strength of the ignorant laborers
gives them confidence III their
ability to defy the law. And yet
those who argue for an improve
ment i'm the class of labor utilized
in our principal industry are
termed cranks and rainbow
chasers. 1t will pay the wise men
to stop and consider the inevita-
BILE results of what has been the
work of their own hands. The
time may come when they will be
so severely threatened that they
will wonder why they, too, did
not indulge in judicious rainbow
chasing.

RED HANDED ASSASSINATION.

Capt. julius Palmer is kind
enough to send us "a special dis
patch about the most important
event of the age-the plot against
the life of the eX-Queen. We give
an extract from it: "She has re
ceived from several sources intel
ligence, conveyed to her i'll her
own language, that a plot has
been made to aSsaSSinate her
while here, because she is the
greatest obstacle to annexation.
She knows as intimate friends the
persons from whom the warnings
come. nor is she ignorant of the
names of those to whom the work
was assigned, but will not men
ton these"
We are now ready to give Il
correct account of this sensation
al and international affair. 1t is
another and sad instance of the
tragic effects of the Dime Novel
On the arrival of the eX-
Queen in Boston. the Angel of
the Dime Novel tapped her
wings. whispered in his ear in
spring words and offered to make
him the chief apostle of that lit
erature. He acted promptly.
The assassination by telephone
was we'll arranged. Strychnine
was mixed with the electric fluid
i'm San Francisco. Thurston, III
that place, rung up the eX-Queen.
She stood ut the tube, in Wash
ingtOn. Captain Palmer also
stood near to catch the falling
and dying woman in his arms,
and issue the already prepared
diving remarks" to the reporters
i'm the next room. When the guile
less ex-Queen received the dread
full dispatch in Hawaiian from
ThurstOn, that she was to be foul
" murdered, she put her lips to
the tube and responded: ''Thanks.
awfUllv." AT this instant the cleo
trio fluid struck her. 1T was harm
less. The strychnine which the
cOnspiratOr, ThurstOn, had mixed
with the fluid in San Francisco.
GOT as far as Omaha and was then
dropped out as freight that had
not been prepaid. The plot failed.
The ex-Queen lives. The conspir-
ators are now giving each other
away. Will they cheat the gal
lows?
The Angel of the Dime Novel
looks down sweetly on the scene.
and whispers: Little Palmer,
YOU are an ass. Had you paid
that freight in advance, You
would now be the Great Apostle
of Dime Literature"

ABOUT BIKES.

An eX-dealer in wheels is
credited with saying, "a man
can buy one of fifty bicycles
and not make a mistake. T"
What he meant to infer was,
that the material from which
the Black Manufacturing
Company constructs the Tri-
bune bicycles is SO uni
formly perfect; that the
workmanship is of such a
superior character, that out
of fifty wheels, one is as
good as another.
The '97 model Tribune has
three Improvements over
those of 90. The upper
frame tubing is constructed
of II-8 inch steel and the
seat post is one inch tubular,
and is secured by a clasp.
The advantages OF these
changes are manifest to ev-
cry rider of a wheel. The
SproCket chain has a recently
patented improvement own
ed by the Black Company,
and not found on any other
wheel, and the pedal shank
is made longer than before,
an Improvement easily re-
cognized.

New Orleans, La, June 19.-From a
passenger who arrived on one of the
Southern Pacific's Havana steamers a
day or two ago, some interesting facts
concerning the condition now prevail
ing in Cuba are learned. In describing
the scenes in and around Havana the
gentleman said: ANY day numbers Of
sick and dying Spaniards could be seen
lounging around the streets of the
town scarcely able to walk and as soon
as they died the bodies were immedi-
ately cremated, this being considered
the most expedient way to dispose Of
the bodies and prevent any greater
spread of the dreadful scourges of
smallpox and yellow fever, which to-
gether with the repeated onslaughts
of Cubans, was daily thinning out the
producing a very discouraging effect
on the Spanish troops"
Among other things the gentleman
told of the successful attempt of in
surgents in blowing up two long train
loads of Spanish troops on the 9th of
this month just outside the limits of
Havana. The troops had been started
off to join forces under another Span
ish commander, who was near by, and
the Cubans, learning of, the expedition,
sent a detachment of men from a small
band that is continually in and around
Havana, to destroy it if possible and
the complete success of the maneuvre
will be seen when it is known that two
trains with their entire cargo of hui
man flesh were almost completely de-
stroyed, those who escaped immediate
death being so wounded and manned
that they had to be taken to the mill
tary hospital.

New Orleans, La, June 19.-The New
Orleans levee board has made up it's
account of the cost of the recent fight
against the flood for the protection of
this city, and the amount foots up
s171, 900. High water reached 1875 feet
above low water mark on May 14th.
This is lie feet above any previous re-
cord. At Vicksburg, April 16, the flood
showed 52.5 one foot and five inches
ambove high water mark in 1862, the
previous highest record. What damage
has been caused by flood in the Missis-
sippi valley can only be roughly esti-
mated. 1t certainly runs up into the
millions.
The Illinois Central railroad loss on
its YaZoo and Mississippi valley line
is not less than half million.

After a months absence the Denison
Indians made their Temperance at
San Pedro park yesterday afternoon in
the presence of a good weekday at
tendance. The Indians are always
well received in San Antonio, probably
because a sort of relationship has been
linked between this city and Denison
in that number of last years Den
ison players are now wearing San An
tonio's uniforms, and are instrumental
in the present standing of the Bron-
chos in the championship campaign.
One player Of the Denison team, how
ever, that is missed is Pete Week
becker, that gentlemanly little manager
who has worked so hard to get that
team together. This is an undisputed
fact, for San Antonio was one time
after several players that are now on
the Denison team, but Weckbecker got
them by dint of hustling. This pop
ular player, it is understood, has been
turned down in a shameful manner,
not altogether due to the people of
Denison. He will not be out of job
long, however, for he is too good a
ball player to be idle.
The game was an exciting one, and
what made it more so was the fact
that the Bronchos have had such an
easy thing with the gay Parisians the
three preceding days. While the
Bronchos led the score from the begin
ming, it was by close margin, and a
run would have meant a tie and two
victory for the visitors. But the
Bronchos kept up their good work of
shutting off basehits, and while they
managed to keep but one run ahead, it
was just enough to win the game.
The last inning was a hair raiser
and looked squally. With the score
ga, the bases were full of Indians, and
none out Buck" Miller was at the
bat. He hit to center field and Bailey
caught the ball and with the assistance
of Looie Knau caught a runner at the
plate. Two were out and Page hit to
Weber, retiring the side, just in time.
Weber and Bristow were the oppos-
ing pitchers and both were hit freely,
which is only evidence that the fielders
had all the work they could do, making
it beautiful game throughout. The
score:

Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, La, June 19.-The sto-
ry published some weeks ago in rela=
ton to the sugar and rice trade slip
ping away from this city to the plan
tations and interior towns, seems to
have good foundation. A prominent
railroad man remarked today:
"A few days since was told by the
head of a big sugar and rice firm do
ing a large business in these products
that they would be compelled to re-
move from New Orleans, and <hat it
was very probable that before fall set
in they would establish their head
quarters either at Morgan City or New
Iberia. They were certain that the
time was soon coming when the city
would be almost bereft of its old time
business in handling of the sugar and
rice crops. He stated that the only
objection to New Orleans, was excess
sive handling charges in this city. The
producers were now shipping directly
through this city on a series Of through
rates and it was merely a matter Of
short time when the brokers would be
compelled to locate themselves nearer
the sources Of supply"
