N patronage and in excellence OF the
events. yesterdays opening day at
the Anaconda park was large and
brilliant beyond anticipation. Old pat
rons of the turf agree in saying that
II was. by odds. the most successful
opening day known in the records of
the Northwest. The weather was not
by any means at its best, although the
day was fair. The number of people In
attendance was surprisingly large, the
events were interesting and. withal.
the occasion vas a gratifying inaugu-
ration for the Anaconda meeting.
Butte was generously represented at
the park yesterday, and from many
sections OF the state lovers of good
racing were in attendance. The asso-
citation has good reason to anticipate a
successful meeting.

The Officer Detained Under Arrest on Board the Monterey at
 San Diego.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

special Dispatch to The Call
 SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26.-The trial by court-martial of Lieutenant Con- mander Charles A. Adams, executive officer of the Monterey on the charge of intoxication was finished yesterday The finding and decision of the court have been forwarded to Washington for approval, and it will be at least two weeks before the final result of the court-martial is known even to the of- ficers directly interested.
 Lieutenant Commander Adams who is considered very able officer, and was popular with the crew, was acting captain of the Monterey for a day, two or three weeks ago, and while in that capacity, it is reported, he became in- toxicated. He was under the influence of liquor when Captain Clark returned to the ship, and met Captain Clark at the gangway.
 Captain Clark was so indignant over the fragrant conduct of Lieutenant Commander Adams that he ordered him to his room, where he has since re- mained under arrest. He will be kept under that restraint until the finding of the court is heard from at Wash ington.
 Lieutenant Commander Adams was once before placed under arrest and confined to his room for intemperance. That was about four months ago, when he arrived from the East under assign ment to the Monterey, while the moni- tor lay at Portland He is said to have become intoxicated almost as soon as he went aboard, as a result of which indiscretion he was confined tn his room.

OPENS PRISON GATES
 FOR PETTY OFFENDERS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26.-The decision given by Judge Van Dyke yesterday that the Police Courts of this city are llie- gally constituted has precipitated seri- ous state of affairs, and will probably re- suit in demand for new law py the next State Legislature The Police Judges were elected as City Justices also, ana thus occupied dual position. Yesterday they took up the criminal business or the city as City Justices when they learned that their positions as Police Judges were invalid. To-day the question or tnelr standing as City Justices is raised
 They were elected under an amendment to section 103 of the Code of Civil Pro- cedure, which provides that cities of over 15.0O0 inhabitants and less than 34OO0 shall elect one justice, and of over 34 0o0 and under 100000 shall elect two justices. When they were elected there had been no census taken showing the population Of Los Angeles to be over 100000, but sub- sequently a census has shown it to be over 100000. The question now raised is whether they have been legally in office since the taking of the census. It Is con- ceded that after their present term the city cannot have City Justices.
 Under the decision declaring the Police Judges illegally in office the chaingang must be done away with, number of persons now serving sentence can be re- leased by habeas corpus proceedings, and many other results of like nature fol- low.

 Friends.
special Dispatch to The Can.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 VISALIA Feb. 26.-The fire bells in this city were rung for short time at mid night last night The alarm was given to summon help for the purpose of searching for Miss Meta Baker. an estimable young lady, P years old who had suddenly dis appeared from her home.
 Miss Baker had left home in the after noon to go for the mail. As she did not return her mother thought she had called to see a neighbor. But when darkness came all the family became alarmed, es- pecially when 1t was found that she had not been to any of the neighbors' houses. The young lady's brother drove out to the home of a friend in the country and a force of over fifty men went out in all directions with lanterns and remained out most of the night. but without success.
 This morning it was learned that a girl answering the description of Miss Baker had purchased a ticket for San FJhncisco and had gone north on the Valley road passenger train that leaves here about l o'clock in the afternoon. She had no bag gage; no grip and not even a wrap. Of f1cers in Stockton and San Francisco were notified of her disappearance and this afternoon her brother boarded train for Stockton in search of his sister.
 Miss Baker never exhibited any desire to leave home before. Her parents can give no reason for this action She. has been in i'll health for about a year, and 1t is thought she left while suffering from a fit of mental alteration. She Is small of stature and looks younger than she really is. She taught school In Iowa be- fore coming here with her mother two years ago. Her sudden disappearance has caused a profound sensation and great sympathy is expressed for the afflicted family.
 When the disappearance of Miss Baker was reported at police headquarters in this city it was intimated that the young lady had been mentally deranged for many months past. Captain Bohen has given instructions that a strict watch be kept for the missing woman. but as yet no special detectives have been detailed on the case It is the general supposition that Miss Baker has gone to Stockton.

 PARIS, Feb. 26.-Zola has accepted his sentence without evincing surprise. After all, Zola told us journalists, it is more logical perhaps and better as it is. Persecution has always been the
 handmaid of truth" He is not dis couraged, and believes firmly that the campaign for revision-so hateful has the opposition been from the point of view of this special object of "revolu- tionary measures Chat is the eXpres- sion he uses)-will be continued by others. He has decided, however, to profit by the right of appeal against the judgment, and if the Court of Ces- sation admits the ground, which seems doubtful in spite of the numerous points of appeal taken by the defense, all will commence over again before another court and another jury, but this cannot be done immediately, and there is general laSsitude. The need of quiet is preached almost without dis tinction of opinion by the greater part of the press, with the exception of journals which can only thrive upon agitation This sentiment has reached such a degree that the mot of the situ- ation was said on Thursday, from his chair, by the President of the Council, M Moline, replying to the numerous interpellations the Zola trial called forth in the Chamber.
 'The conclusion to deduce Is that 1t is necessary that this should stop to- day" cried M. Moline amid the ap- plause of the Chamber. 'The role of the Government will be to bring about a cessation of the agitation on the part of all and to make all accept it.
 This declaration procured for the Cabinet the greatest majority 1t has been able to obtain since the com mencement of this dangerous affair, and so often brought before Parlia- ment, where it excited those violent signs you know.
 Meline's Cabinet is stronger than ever. It will safely meet the approach ing elections. The arm of the War De- partment which Socialists would have liked to have employed against him has burned their hands, and the imprudent of their chief. M. JaureZ, who wanted to make the witness-box of the Court of Assizes political ros- trum. and was only saved from com seriously his personal posi- ton. has taken their weapons out of their grasp. So true is this that the announcement has already been made that certain candidates who have wished to present themselves as Social ists pure and simple must cut loose from certain compromising sections and openly adopt a more refined line of conduct

NICARAGUA BELIEVED TO
 HAVE DECLARED WAR,
Cable Company of Panama Refuses to Accept Messages for Costa
 Rica

Copyrighted. 1sss by James Gordon Bennett
 PANAMA, Feb. 26.-The action of the cable company here, with reference to messages for Costa Rica, leads to the conclusion that war has been, or soon will be. declared between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. A notice to the public was posted yesterday, to the effect that messages for Costa Rica would be re- ceived only at the senders' risk in plain language and subject to censor ship at San Juan del Sur. The cable company posted this afternoon another notice stating that no messages would be accepted for Costa Rica until fur ther notice.
 The posting of this notice has caused great interest here as it is generally understood to mean that Costa Rica s reply to the diet of the Greater Re- public of Central America is unsatis- factory and that the relations between Nicaragua and Costa Rica have been definitely severed. This leads to the conclusion that war has been declared between the two countries, or that a formal declaration of war will be made within the next few days.
