RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, Feb 5.-A very impor-
tant move to the owners of the Moreno
and Alessandro irrigation districts was
made today by the board of supervisors.
After listening to evidence for two days
upon petition of the landowners in
those districts for a reduction of water
rates the board fixed the figure at 16
cents an inch instead of 35 cents an
inch, which has been charged by the
receiver of the Bear Valley company
for two seasons past. Since the receiver
fixed the rate at 35 cents the result has
been that nearly 1000 acres of trees and
vines were abandoned by the owners,
as the water rate was prohibitory. A Is
cent rate will give new hope to the lan.l
and orchard owners in the districts.
and the result will be largely beneficial
to this county. 1t is believed the Bear
Valley company will carry the matter
into the courts, but residents of the
districts do not anticipate any modifica-
ton OF the new rate will be ordered.

SHERIDAN AND MEADE
A Quarrel Between Them That Led to the
Crushing of Stuart

Sheridan had been sent for by Meade
to come to his headquarters, and when
he arrived between II and II o'clock
that morning, very acrimonious dis
pute took place between the two gen
erals. Meade was possessed of an eX-
citable temper, which under irritating
circumstances became almost ungov-
ernahle. He had worked himself into
a towering passion regarding the delays
encountered in the forward movement
and when Sheridan appeared went at
him hammer and tongS, accusing him
of blunders, and charging him with not
making a proper disposition of his
troops and letting the cavalry block the
advance OF the infantry.
Sheridan was equally fiery, and smart
ing under the belief that he was un
justly treated, all the hotspur in his
nature was aroused. He insisted that
Meade had created the trouble by coun-
termanding his (Sheridan's) orders, and
that it was this act which had resulted
in mixing up his troops with the infant
ry, exposing one cavalry division TO
great danger, and rendering Intellectual
all his combinations regarding the
movements Of the cavalry troops. Sher-
idan declared with great warmth that
he would not command the cavalry any
longer under such conditions, and said
if he could have matters his own way
he would concentrate all the cavalry,
move out in force against Stuart's COM
mand, and whip it. His language
throughout was highly spiced, and con-
spicuously italicized with expletives.
General Meade came over to General
Grants tent Immediately after, and re-
lated the interview to him. The excite
ment of the one was in singular contrast
with the calmness of the other. When
Meade repeated the remarks made Ivy
Sheridan, that he could move out with
his cavalry and whip Stuart General
Grant quietly observed, Did Sheridan
say that? Well he generally knows
what he is talking about. Let him start
right out and do it," By l o'clock
Sheridan had received his orders in
writing from Meade for the movement
Early the next morning he started upon

The Beauty Of Unlettered Eyes

CA letter written by the celebrated
beauty, the Hon. Caroline Norton, dur
ing visit to Lisbon.)
Il had a woman friend, very intelli-
gent, but what with her constant re-
hearsals for private theatricals and per-
formances of love (already some years
rehearsed) with velvet-eyed Spanish
attache here, l see little of her. The
pope's nuncio is a great friend, but he
has bursts of absence during which, l
believe, he does penance for our inter-
views-to no purpose), reappearing gay,
boyish and sinful, like an otter coming
up to breathe. The Portuguese So
ciety is stiff and disjointed-indeed, it
isn't jjointed at all; only stiff-every
one civil smiling and apparently anX
ious if they know how to Tier amitie'
with you, but never an inch nearer. A
Portuguese gentleman told me it was
not unusual to see lady in the winter
and dance with her several nights and
never meet her again till the winter
after. They hardly ever visit or re-
ceive visits-never men, at least in very
few Portuguese families. The women
meet with apparent cordiality, kiss each
other, and then sit down in a formal row,
never stir afterwards the whole evening,
and seldom speak, even to those they
have just embraced. Nobody reads or
writes. They sing sometimes, and al
ways look out of the window am sure
it is good for the eyes to be ignorant, and
to stare out of the window, for oh! the
pretty eyes see here among the women,
the look of mingled laziness, curiosity
and passion, which replaces the English
intelligence and good behavior of ex-
preston! 1 think the infanta's daugh-
ter, Comtesse Quinares, has the most
beautiful eyes that ever opened on the
world, like pools among the dead, brown
leaves on warm summer night with
stars looking down into them From
Three Generations of Englishwomen.

MILLS OPPOSITION.

Mr.. Mills finally got the floor and made
the only set speech of the day. Mr.. Mills
Is at all times an impetuous and vehement
speaker He was unusually free today
and being unrestrained by the galleries he
unboSomed himself in way that left no
coubt about the depth of his opposition
10 the treaty. He opposed it on general
grounds for the reason that it not ouly
went too far but was bad in principle. He
dad not believe It right that this senate
should, by any general arrangement
restrict the power of the senate to act
IN the future whenever treaties came be-
lore it Questions involving the life the
integrity, the development of a nation;
matters affecting the honor of the nation,
It's nag and the protection of its citizens,
should never be arbitrated. A nation that
mad any standing among the peoples of
the earth ought ever be ready to protect
It's territory, to uDhold>itS honor and TO
defend its citizens. wherever they might
De, against the oppression of the foreigner
ard the tyranny OF other governments.
var was frequently justiflable, and that
vas one reason wny he did not believe
the United States should bind itself to
any general treaty of arbitration. The
United states was now a powerful ma
ton; II was strong enough to demand its
r--hts, and it was mighty enough TO en-
force these rights if they We're denied
Mr. Mills devoted some time to Cuba
using the situation there as an illustra-
ton of what the United States, as a
powerful and brave nation, ought to do
but which 1t appeared, though some mys-
terious influence, to be afraid to do its
solemn duty.
After Mr.. Mills had concluded, the de-
bate on arbitration drifted back into the
conversational character, Mr.. Hill re-
marking that the senate had been drum
ming along all week on this treaty. 1t
ought to adjourn now, in time to let SEN
ators catch uD with their mail, and he
moved to adjourn. The motion was
voted down by a large majority. Later
on. Mr.. Hill suggested the absence of a
quorum, and none appearing upon the
call, an adjournment was forced.
1t Is said Mr. Sherman will make an
other effort on Monday to get vote but
that Il he sees disposition to prolong
TIE discussion, he will move to proceed
to the consideration of legislative busi-
ness and the doors will be opened 1t
looks as if it would be impossible for an
2 agreement to be made to take a vote or
tAat any action can be had before the
end of this session.

made public simultaneously with the
issuance of the Schaefer challenge. and
last night Ives left for a sojourn in the

The news that the leader of the pro-

Prise in billiard circles. ONLY his init

him that if he would go at once to the

little while. Before he left he sub
mitted two propositions for Schaefer's s
consideration. as follows:
He will play Schaefer a six-nights'
match, 500 points a night, for $500 a

QUEEN ILLS STATEMENT.
1T PUTS SOME GENTLEMEN IN
AN EMBARRASSING POSITION.
Among Them, However, It Appears
Is Her Own Chamberlain-A
Badly Mixed-Up Affair.

Washington, Feb. BIN reference to
the authorized statement given out that
ex-Queen Liliuokalani does not consider
ho- abdication as binding a prominent
Hawaiian says:
Il venture to suggest that the queen s
chamberlain, Mr.. Palmer, in his letter,
outs p number of highly respectable
gentlemen of Hawaii in a rather en-
barrassing position. w. G. Irwin is the
leading banker and large sugar planter
and Mr.. Wideman IS a late member OF
LttuokalaniS cabinet, and a man of
wealth and standing. Mr.. Parker is also
one of her eX-cabinet and the most
prominent leaders of the native Hawaii
hen act of abdication are well-known
citizens and her active partisans. These
gentlemen certify that the act was con-
sidered carefully aud deliberately by
L.iuokalani and that it was her free act
and deed.
''Mf. Palmer is unfortunate in his cita-
tion of the historian Professor Alexander.
for in the genealogical table referred to
in his History of the Hawaiian Peo-
pie. so far from showing that Liliuok-
alani is descended from the ruling family
in Hawaii he makes it clear that the
queen has not drop of kamehameha
blood in her veins. She derived all the
claim she has TO the throne from a vote

stitution ten years ago mot hundred

throw this same constitution she lost
