THE GOLDEN JUBILEE,
VIII Begin in San Fran
cisco Monday.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-Prepara.
ton for the golden jubilee of Califor.
MIA, the 50th anniversary of the dis
covery OF the yellow metal, are making
rapid headway. The celebration will
begin on Monday next and continue
most of the week, embracing many en-
tirely novel features, nearly every
county in the state contributing to rem
der the affair notable event in the
annals of California.
In connection with the jubilee a
mining fair will be held, which prom
ises to be the most complete exposition
OF the kind ever known in the West.
San Francisco is already gaily deco
rated In anticipation of the coming car
nival week, and visitors are arriving
IN large numbers. The governor has
declared the opening of the jubilee a
legal holiday, and during the week of
lestivity the public schools will be
closed. Seldom before has state and
civic pride been aroused to a greater
degree, and it is evident that all former
popular demonstrations here will be
equaled, if not eclipsed.

VICTORY FOR BARRETT.
Decision of Arbitrators in the Case OF
Ylce.COnsuI KeIIett.

San Francisco, Jan. PA special
press correspondent at Bangkok writes
as follows, under date of Nove2lber 10,
| 1897:
"The long-awaited and much debated
decision of the arbitrators in the mat
ter of the assault upon E. V. Kellett,
United States vice-consul, by Samese
soldiers at Chianggai November 10,
1896, was published yesterday in the
Gazette for the first time, and this
morning an English translation was
posted in the American legation.
Shortly after the announcement of the
assault, John Barrett, United States
minister resident and consul-general,
opened negotiations by demanding an
investigation by a mixed commission,
which Siam promptly refused. The ar
rival of the gunboat Machias in Feb
ruary, 1897, however, opened the eyes
of the Siamese and hastened negotia-
tions, for when Minister Barrett pro-
posed to call the commission, board of
arbitration was appointed. The Ma
chias then left the river, and the board
of arbitration, composed of Mr.. Barrett
and Mr.. Orts, who represented the
Siamese government, soon proceeded
to investigate the matter, sitting both
at Bangkok and Chienggai. After
20 days. session, the commission agreed
upon decision without an umpire,
and the result is a decided victory for
Mr.. Barrett. While the commission
decided that the conduct of the officers
who committed the assault was to
certain extent excusable, from the ex-
citement resulting from the unusual
and imprudent steps taken by Kellett
in releasing his servant from the GUS
tody of the authorities, after he Rad
been arrested, it was agreed that the
Siamese government should apologize
and punish the offenders. The officers
in command of the troops are to be
publicly reprimanded and degraded in
rank, while the men are to be deprived
of pay for three months.

WILL RETIRE FROM BUSINESS.
The Bank of Goldendale Voluntarily
Closes Its doors.

Goldendale, Wash, Jan. 24.-The
Bank OF Goldendale went out of busi-
ness today, and posted conspicuously
IN the front door the following notice to
lepositors:
1.-The management of this institu-
tion, having decided to retire from the
banking business, hereby gives notice
to all local depositors to call at the
side door and withdraw their deposits
in full and without delay"
The First National bank was started
about 10 years ago, and in 1896 went
into voluntary liquidation and was sue
ceeded by the Bank of Godendae.
The retiring of the present bank leaves
Klickitat county without bank, which
is regretted by many business men.

inal court today Judge Wofford sus-
tanned the decision of the police court
tining Mrs. A. j. Baird, one of the

wrong has been done in the death of

power to do SO, under this ordinance. "
Mrs. Baird will appeal the case.

that war exists, directed tho increase Of
the regular army to tho maximum Of
62 600 authorized in said act. The same
act provides that in time Of peace tho
army shall be reduced to It's original

Tho Importance Of LEGISLATION for the
permanent increase Of the army is therc
fore manifest and tho recommendation Of
the secretary of war for that purpose has
my unqualified approval. There cun be
no question that ut this time and prob.-
bly, for some time in the future 100000
men will DO none too many to meet tho
necessities of the situation. At ali events
whether that number shall be required
permanently or not the power should be
given to tho president to enlist that force
if in his discretion it shall be necessary
and the further discretion should be given
him to recruit within .hc above limit

To Exempt Private Property at Sea.
The experiences of the last year bring
foreibly home to us sense Of the burdens
and the waste of war. We desire In COM
mon with most civilized nations to reduce
to the lowest possible point the damage
sustained in time Of war by peaceable
trade and commerce. It is true we may
suffer in such case less than other COM
munitics, but all nations IRE dam
aged more or less by the state
Of uneasinoss and apprehension into
which an outbreak of hoetilities throws
the entire civilized commercial world. 1t
should be our object therefore to 1ninim-
ize 80 far as practicable this inevitable
loss and disturbance. This purpose can
probably be best accomplished by an in
ternational agreement to regard all pri-
vate property at soa as exempt from cap
ture or destruction by the forces of bellig-
erent powers The United States govern
ment has for many yers advocated this
humane and benehcent principle and is
now in position to recommend 1t
to others without the imputation of
selfish motives. l therefore suggest for
your consideration that the executive be
authorized to correspond with the govern
ments of the principal maritime powers
with view of incorporating into the per-
manent law of civilized nations the prin-
ciple of the exemption Of all private prop
erty at sea not contraband of war, from
capture CT destruction by belligerent
powers.
