Some Of our contemporaries are printing
striking pictures contrasting the first
ocean steamship. the Savannah, with one
OF the last completed mammoth ocean car
riers, the Hamburg-American giant Penn
sylvania. The Savannah measured $50
tons; the Pennsylvania measures 1900
tons displacement and can carry d. 500
tons dead weight. The Savannah was
about one-sixth as long as the Pennsvl-
vania is and her masts were only a few
feet higher than the altitude reached by
the mammoth steamers tunnels.

1t may be doubted that Tennessee has
acted wisely in leasing number of her
convicts for a term of six years to manu-
facturers Of shoes and hose. There is a
strong sentiment against bringing convict
labor into competition with honest labor,
as Tennessee herself has reason to know.
She cannot have forgotten those coal mine
riots of only a few years ago, when
free laborers burned stockades and came
very near to breaking up the states con-
Wet camps. The leasing of convicts to
manufacturing, mining or contracting
firms is being condemned all over the
country. and before great while will
have to be abandoned. Georgia will prob
ably abandon the system upon the explra-
ton of the leases now of force.
1t seems that there should be little trou-
bic about getting at the facts with regard
to the alleged Spanish indignities upon
passengers from Cuba on board of an
American vessel. 1t was charged that
spaniards of the male sex compelled culti-
waited and genteel Cuban women to de-
nude themselves ana submit to being
searched in the cabin of an American YES
sci. One of the Cuban ladies referred to
denies that that story is correct. She says
she was searched by a woman inspector
in the service of Spain, and that no in
dignities were put upon her. The only
question left, therefore, seems to be the
right of search upon American vessels.
There is no question of modesty outraged
by male examiners.

THE FOUNDLINGS.
How They Enjoyed Their Christmas
EaCfiuaI

Wednesday evening the children at the
Sacramento Founding Home had their
Christmas festivities. There was gath
cred a group of some 80 or 60 children
of the home in the assembly room, all
ea ger, anxious and beaming with expec-
tation and hope and manifesting all the
joys and gladneSs of childhood in the
celebration of what has come to be es
sentially the "Children's Festival Sea-
SON"
Outsiders We're not invited to attend as
had been contemplated, because of the
prevalence of measels in the community
and the home physician feared that a
general assembly might be the means of
introducing the disease into the institu
ton
However, Mrs. Deming, the President
of the home, was in the chair, all the
directors, officers and teachers were
present and Judge S. Solon Holl as a
special guest The Christmas tree was
rich in adornment and made the little
ones eyes sparkle in expectancy of the
good things that were to be distributed
from its well-ladened branches.
1t would have done the heart of the
friends of the home good could they
have seen how much and gratefully
these unfortunate homeless little ones
entered into the joys of the occasion.
No one Of them was forgotten. Each
one was remembered from the tree.
It was manifest that the children re-
gard with affection as well as respect

whose loving care and experience have

AFTER THEKOVALEV REWARD
YladislaV zabreXskei Trying to Head-Off
Captain Lees.
he Asks the State Board of Exam
liners to Allow Him the Thou
sand Dollars.

The contest over the State reward for
the arrest Of Ivan Kovalev. the Slberi-
an murderer, has been renewed, ac-
eording to the following statement In
the San Francisco Cali of yester-
day. That paper says:
"A document has been sent to Sacra-
mento which may have more than a
passing interest for Captain Lees, Chief
Of the detective force. The purport of
1t is to raise contest before the State
Board of Examiners concerning the
payment of $1,000 which has already
been awarded to Captain Lees by the
Superior Court, but which has not been
received. In fact, a hearing concern
ing this money is set down in the Su-
preme Court for February 10th, the
case having been appealed, which bears
the title of Lees against Colgan.
After the discovery of the murder
of Francis H. L. Weber and his wife at
Sacramento about December 9, 1894,
Governor Markham offered reward
of 81 900 for the apprehension and con-
viction of the murderer. Ivan Kovalev
was arrested, tried, found guilty and
hanged for the commission of the
crime. Captain Lees claimed the re-
ward This is the $1,000 in question.
Attorneys Stanley Jackson and Jo'
eeph G. Meyerstein, acting for Vladi-
slaw Zabrewskei, have just drawn UP
and forwarded to the State Board of
Examiners, getting in their work prior
to the date set for the hearing in the
Supreme Court of Lees against Colgan,
q petition in which various statements
are made in support of the claims Of
Zabrewskei, and the board is asked to
audit his claim for 81 900 and instruct
the Controller to draw a warrant in
favor of Zabrewskei for the amount.
The date of the petition is December
%, 1896.
"Messrs. Jackson and Meyerstein set
forth that on June 20, 1895, Zabrews-
kei with the intention of claiming the
reward offered by Governor Markham,
apprehended Kovalev and delivered
him to an officer of the law in San
Francisco; that the delay in the pre-
sentation of this claim is due entirely
to Zabrewskei's reliance upon those in
authority at the police headquarters III
Sacramento and in San Francisco, and
that he was at a disadvantage by be-
ing ignorant of the language and GUS
toms of this country, he being a
Russian.
IF this petition is not favorably
acted upon by the State Board of Ex
aniners, there are other steps to be
taken to secure the 81 900 for Zabrews-
kei for which Captain Lees has sued
the Controller. Suit will be entered at
once and an effort will be made to have
the case tried in this city"
