Two Earthquakes In California.

Two sharp and severe shocks of
earthquake were felt at San Francisco
and throughout California. They were
the most severe experienced for many
years Many thousand dollars damage
was done to buildings and their con-
tents at Hollister. No casualties oc-
Cured though many narrow escapes
are reported. Every brick building
in town has suffered, and in the court
house the walls and ceiling have lost
most of their plastering and fire wall
of the adjoining buildings. At Gilroy
numerous chimneys were toppled over,
walls cracked, every plate glass store
window shattered and general
wreckage of bottles and shelfware in
houses and stores. People rushed ont
of their homes in terror. An unusual
scene of petty destruction is presented
in nearly every house and store in the
town. Other points report damage
but in lesser degree.

Mckinley to Push an Arbitration Treaty

President Mckinley has determined
to revive the abandoned treaty of gen.
eral arbitration between the United
States and Great Britain and under the
direction of Secretary Sherman the
matter has progressed to the extent
that a new treaty already has been
drafted TO serve as the basis of negoti-
atoms. However, it is not in contem-
plation that the treaty will be submit
ted TO the senate before next Deem
ber The attitude of the new senate
toward new treaty will be fully can
vassed and understood before the
treaty is signed. 1t is understood that
the initiative in the present case will
be taken by this government. The
failure of the former treaty by the
action of the senate left the subject in
such condition that the British govern
ment did not feel disposed to renew
negotiations, unless first invited by the
United States.

Judge Stewart.

The Third Judicial District can GER
tainly congratulate itself upon the
manner in which the courts have been
conducted under the administration of
nearly every Judge who has presided
for some time prior to the admission of
Idaho to statehood, and since. A long
line of presiding Judges from Case
Broderick to the present Judge Stew
art have been learned, alert and fair
men, who have added honor to the pro-
fession of the law, and none of them
better equipped to fill the position
with dignity and honor than the pres
ent presiding officer. The term of
court closed last week disposed of two
important cases and some minor ones
in a manner which has given almost
entire satisfaction, and all the officers
Were Judge Stewart to become can
didate for the same position at any
time in the future, SO far as Owyhce
county, at least, is concerned, the re-
cord made, up to this date, would be
all the canvass required to be made. to
insure his election. When the costs of
the last term of court are considered
matter which concerns every tax
paycr-it will be found that the amount
is remarkably small. There were no de-
lays aul no time unnecessarily spent.
In this connection the Judge very
properly paid high compliment to the
sheriff and indirectly to the iurymen,
when he commended his executive of
ficer for the manner in which he had
filled the panels from an open venire.
In an important murder trial only two
peremptory challenges were made and
the jury box was promptly filled with
honest and intelligent men. With
courts always conducted as the recent
term was conducted, with men selected
for jurymen such as were empanneled
at the recent term of court, Owyhee
county will win back a reputation its
courts lost years ago, for getting men
on juries opposed to conviction un
der any circumstances. Hung iuries
have too long been the rule rather than
the exception in Owyhee, and the re-
cent exception was happy one.
