A diver when upon the door Of the
ocean looks about for the oyster, which
he tears from the object to which It Ia
attached and places 1t In a small bag
hanging to rope. which Is hauled Into
the boat on a given signal. Sometimes
the number of oysters secured Is large,
at other times only a few are caught.
The diver does not conilne himself
to the pearl oyster lone. but II he sees
q rare specimen of coral or new spe-
cies of shell he places 1t In his bag and
sends 1t to the surface. where 1t be-
comes the property Of the concession
and the source of Its large income. Last
year the value of the pearls harvested
In Lower California was alone $35,.

were exported, which were valued at
81 100000 more. Pearl fishing Is the

peninsula. with about 1000 inhabit-
ants. Is solely dependent upon the In.
dustry. The business Is one Of chance
and the pursuit Is a fascinating ono
to the natives, who are born gamblers.
Every oyster does not contain Its
pearl, and only at intervals, and rare
ones at that. Is a really valuable pearl
discovered. The largest one ever found
was about thrce.quarters Of an inch In
diameter and was sold in Paris to the
emperor of Austria for $4,000. Many
black pearls are found In Lower Call
fornia and are valued higher than the
pure white. The large majority are
seed pearls and are only Of moderate
value.
The dangers Of pearl fishing have al
ways been exaggerated, possibly t
give a fictitious value to the beautiful
gems. The loss Of life In tho fisheries
in Lower California was undoubtedly
larger before the Introduction Of thu
diving dress, but It Is not an establish

The ship should have made the time

Iotted time elapsed, and no tldings
cine from her, she was given up by her
owners. As Is customary. she was re-
insured In course Of time, but on March
IS she became understandable. A week

When the Cakes sailed from China

Immigrants from Iceland.
Permanent Icelandlc citizens think
that there should be large immigration
to Manitoba from Iceland In the spring.
The results of the season on the island
have been SO unfortunate that those
who suffered will be naturally anxious
to get away II they have the means. In
the southwest the fishery, which IL one
of the chief Industries, has been almost
u complete failure. The stOck-ralsin
Industry has received an almost knock
down blow in the new act which COM
pels the Strengthening OF sheep and cat
tic ut British ports. Up to this time Ice
land has been one OF the favored M
lions, ana has raised large numbers of
cattle and sheep for the scratch feeders
to prepare for market. Neither sheep
nor cattle can be properly prepared for
British markets In Iceland, ana thus
the scheduling of their cattle affects
them much worse than 1t does Canadian
stOckmen. Another unfortunate affair
was the series Of terrible earthquakes
which did so much damage In the
island. AS many people In Iceland have
relatives In Manitoba who are doing
well, 1t Is only natural to suppose thai
at this time they would turn their eyes
toward the new land.-TorontO Mail.

ANGUS-CRAVEN CASE.
Testimony Given by Judge John B.
Aitken.

San Francisco, June 25.-Ex-Judge John
r. Aftken resumed the witness stand
when the trial of the Angus-Craven case
was taken up today by Judge Slack. and
after a long argument was permitted to
relate the conversations which he had
with Martin Kelly with reference 20 the
pencil deeds which Mrs. Craven had
ASKED MIN to swear to having seen in
1895. He stated that when he met Kelly
by appointment after the interview with
Mrs. Craven he asked him whether the
proposition to swear that he mad seen the
deeds was the business upon which he.
desired to see him. Kelly replied that
il was and urged him 10 get into the case
as it was the opportunity of a life time
for the making of his fortune. Witness
replied that he did not care or wish TO
have anything to do with the matter and
expressed surprise that Kelly should have
thought that he would lerd himself 10
anything of that sort During the trip
down town Kelly told him what Mrs
Craven wanted ard assured him that
ing himself as Notary Cooney had al
ready testified that the certificates upon
the deeds were all right Finally Aitken
asked Kelly by whom the deeds were
written. Witness was not allowed to
state this very interesting part of the
conversation, the objection of counsel for
Mrs. Craven being sustained: but ne was
permitted TO state that Kelly had urged
him 20 times or more after that to get
into the case. promising him that if he
did so he would never be called upon TO
testify as the matter would be settled out
of court.

her empire on her long and prosperous
reign.
Good feeling has been promoted by this
exceptional demonstration of American
courtesy ard appreciation. and the way
may have been opened for the adjust
ment of several questions vitality effecting
the United States. For example the three
silver envoys with Senator WoIcott at
their head viii arrive in London next
week, after entering upon their work in
Paris under the most favorable circum-
stances. Their main object IS to interest
the leading European powers in the ques-
ton of bimetalliSm. and to secure their
consent to reassembling the monetary
conference. The French government
favors this project and Germany only
awaits the action of England in order to
fan into line.
The house of commons has passed an
academic resolution in favor of bimetal-
lism. but the ministers are divided on the
subject. Mr.. Balfour is a convinced BIZ
metallist and several of his colleagues
are of the same mind Lord Salisbury
himself IS known to share Mr. BalfOurS
views. although he is more cautious and
moderate in expressing them Mr.
Chamberlain and others are on the fence

rose and asked: Are there enough
white men present to hang the negro?"
There was a chorus of Yes" and the
crowd closed in on the prisoner
The sheriff and his deputies drew
their revolvers and held the crowd at
bay, while Johnson was at once hur-
ried back to jail. A big mob gathered
in front of the building and one of
the negroes cried out TO lynch Pendle
ton, and a rush was made for him.
Through the efforts of himself and his
friends. Pendleton made his escape in
a carriage.
The negro mob then gathered about
the Jail building to prevent the lynch
ing of Johnson, and open threats were
made by them to kill any white man
that might come to the Jail. About II
o'clock last night William Gardiner, a
white man, was sitting in front of the
court house when several of the negro
mob approached him and ordered him
to move. He arose to obey and as soon
as his back was turned there rang out
the crack of a number of rifles and
Gardiner received a mortal wound,
from which he died two hours later.
The whites are inclined to avenge
Gardeners death and another attempt
to lynch Johnson is expected to be
made tonight. A serious conflict be-
tween the whites and the blacks is
feared. The militia is in readiness for
any disturbance, having been ordered
out by the governor, and the United
States troops are at the orders of the
sheriff.
