at is pleasant thing in my, mem
DRY that my appointment came, from
President lincoln, of whose appoint
ees am the last survivor. Up to
that time there had been no repre-
sc ntative here OF the Pacific Coast. A
new empire lad risen in the west
whose laws were those of another
country. The land titles we're from
Spanish and Mexican grants both of
which were often overlaid by the
claims of the first settlers. To bring
order out of this confusion Congress
passed al act providing for another
seat on this bench with the intention
that it should be filed by some one
familiar with these conflicting titles
and with the mining laws of the coast
and as it had 80 happened that had
framed the principal iof these laws,
and was moreover, Chief Justice of
California, it was the wish of the
Senators and Representatives Of this
State as we'll as those from Oregon,
that should succeed to the new posi-
tion. At their request Mr.. Lincoln
sent my name to the Senate, and the
nomination was unanimously con-
AT the head Of the court. when /
became one of ite members, was the
venerable Chief Justice fancy, and
among the Associate Justices was Mr..
Justice Waite, who sat with Chief
Justice Marshal, thus constituting a
Link between the past and the future,

nearly an entire century of the life Of
this court.
Inventions have multiplied the
conveniences OF life as well as the
possibilities of achievement. Indeed,
the conditions of life have entirely
changed from those that prevailed at
the time of the war. Out of these
changed social aud economic condi-
tons have sprung not merely an i'm.
meusa multitude of cases, but itiga-
ton of character vitallJ affecting
the future prosperity and safety Of
this country. To this court have
come for final solution and decision,
many of these questions and cases.
al look back with pride and JOY to
the fact that was permitted to take
part in the consideration Of all those
important questions, and that not in
frequently I was called upon to .ex-
press the judgment Of this court
thereon. And now that times of angry
debate, deep feeling and judicial de-
cision have passed, it is pleasant to
realize that the conclusions announced
by this court have been accepted, not
simply OF necessity, as 80 prescribed
by the fundame tai laws, but, In the

Alabama senator Entcrtains Them with
an address at Honolulu.
The steamship China arrived at San
Francisco Friday from Hong Kong via
Honolulu with the following Hawaiian
adviccs:
Honolulu, October 4.-The steamer
China brought word that Councillor
Akiyama, of the Japanese foreign
Office, attempted suicide ut Yokohama
on September I'd. At last accounts he
was in a critical state. Akiyama ar
rived here last May to assist Minister
Shimamura in handling the Japanese
immigration matter.
He proved to be bright young man
of considerable experience in diplo-
matte work. He was ordered home
in July aud the impression got abroad
AT the time that he failed to accom-
plish what was expected of him by his
government, and that lie had gone
home in disgrace. At any rate, prior
to his departure the matter had been
taken entirely out of his hands.
The decision of the lower court in
the case of the steamship China has
been affirmed. This gives her the
right to fly the Hawaiian flag.
Senator John II. Morgan, of Ala
bama, addressed large number Of
natives on September 30th. He spoke
of the benefits annexation would bring

ments.
There was some discussion Of the
Cuban question aud the seal confer
ence, but owing to the TACT that both
these matters are in transitory con-
dition, no definite action was decided
upon.
The president had hoped to secure n
reply to his representations to Spain
during the present month, but il was
at the meeting that the Spanish cabi-
net crisis probably would cause delay
in the matter.
There was more or less speculation
on the part Of members as to what
would be the temper and character of
the reply when it should be received,
| and the opinion was general that the
ministry would manifest desire to
cultivate friendly relations with this
country. The desire Of the admins
tration appeared TO be to meet these
advances, If they are accompanied by
a policy on the part of Spain toward
Cuba that will hasten the close Of tho
war III accordance with American
ideas.
II is recognized that some time will
be necessary to demonstrate the policy
of the Sagasta cabinet and the presi

ally to favor the policy Of allowing
reasonable time before following up

Woodford with another of more press

intended in case the first note should
not bring n satisfactory reply.
There was more or less discussion
also of the proposed fur seal confer
ence. II was stated after the meeting
adjourned that it was not yet consid-
cred rs absolutely settled that Great
Britain would not participate i'll the
conference.
The meeting also developed con-
firmation Of the report that the Union

probably will attend the opening of the

Whitfield County. Ga.. Grand Jury Rc.
turns MANY True Bills Against
Gang of Car Robbers.

Dalton, Ga, is in the throes of a
great sensation.
The Whitfield county grand jury has
found thirteen indictments against
Walter Bohannon and his gang of ear
robbers, ten indictments against half a
dozen merchants for receiving stolen
goods; and it is still taking evidence.
Bohannon, the notorious leader Of
the worst band of robbers since John
A. Murril's days has weakened and
his companions in crime are thor.
oughly demoralized.
The members of the gang now in
Jail are; Walter Bohannon, Ben Pearcc,
Sam Painter, Tom Kinneman, Ell Nor.
ris, colored; Bill Long, Ralph Ellison,
Ont on bond are; Anthony Cook and
Charley Hill, two negro draymen;
Luke White and Jim Harris.
The merchants who were arrested
for receiving stolen goods and who
gave bond are:
John Bender, member Of council;
Drew VI. Peoples, member OF council;
L. n. Peoples, Jr., G.. NJ. Cannon
and Anderson Giddings.
AS to the guilt Of the actual mem
bers of the robber gang there is not
the shadow Of doubt. They realize
this, and it would not surprise any
one il every outlaw in the band pleads
guilty and takes his sentence without
murmur.
Some Of the indicted merchants de.
clare that they are innocent of crime
and say they will fight prosecution to
the finish
For some time gossip ran wild and
many an innocent mans reputation
has suffered but when the trials are
over there will be no trouble about
distinguishing the honest merchants
from the dishonest.
The five merchants under bond are
among the most prominent business
men in Dalton.
Roads Lost 500 900.
The band of ar.breakers has been
operating for twelve years. The South
ern railway has paid out nearly $780,
COO in claims for stolen goods and tho
old East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia los, every bit as much.
Probably no railroad has ever been
preyed upon so long and disastrously
as the Southern and its predecessor
have suffered.
Detectives have been at Dalton off
and on for years trying to ferret ont
the mystery. They found that Walter
Bohanndn was probably the leader, but
they could never catch him in the act,
nor could they find sufficient evidence
against linn to convict until short
time ago

Estimated Orange Crop.

Florida's orange crop for lS91-9S
will soon he going forward to market,
and good many estimates are being
made as to what the crop in the state
will figure up.
Last season il amounted 10 about
l2j, 900 boxes. That was the first
years fruit after the freeze, and the
crop was accordingly very small, es-
pecially when il IL recollectcd that the
product of the state had been mum.
bered in millions rather than IN
thousands of boxes.
A careful estimate made by. n gentle
man in the city, who Is we'll informed
rs to the crop throughout the state,
places il in round numbers at about
200, 900 boxes. II il believed that
these figures are conservatives, and
that the crop will so above rather than
below the figures named. The gentle
man making them is conservative in
all things, however, and does not like
to count on improbabiIities. He has
made his estimate of the number Of
boxes in the several counties III the
state. AS follows:
