CELESTIAL SQUABBLE.
I-Street Society Disturbed by a
Row Last Night

A. pleasant little function at 21S l
street last night was rudely spoiled by
All You, one of the guests, who car
ries mud cakes all day at one of the
brickyards. The party consisted of All
You, All Gee and Mademoiselle Sing
On.
The trio were engaged in a game of
some kind when dispute arose be-
tween the ungallant All You and the
fair Sing On. The latter, in choice
English, accused All You of being a
descendant of the canine species,
Whereat he gathered up a cup or bowl
and whacked her on the head with it.
Sing On promptly sang out so vigor-
ously and discordantly as to jar the
nerves of a policeman who once took a
course in harmony, and he rushed up
to see what was wrong. In the mean
time All You had fled, Sing On and All
Gee told the story of the rudely inter-
rupted game, and the latter was locked
up as a witness in case All You should

POLITICAL GUESSES.
Considerable Anxiety and Bewild-

If there We're fortune-teller in the
land who could predict what appoint
.ments will be made in the various de-
partments at the Capitol, there would
be a rich harvest of fees for his pre-
dictions Scores of people now engaged
in and around the Capitol are wondering
where they are at; but such persons
as are already sucking the waters of life
from the political fountain comprise
but small proportion of those who are
uneasy.
The ranks of the seekers for place are
growing daily, the busy wirepullers are
working ceaselessly, and everybody who
is supposed to have shadow of a pull
is in demand.
The public printing office is the very
center of political anxiety. 1t is said
that the applications already on file
are so numerous that if all the appli-
cants were hired they could do half the
printing for the State. Printers in little
towns, printers in cities, printers with
jobs, and printers in distress are
humping themselves to get a chance
at the case. The most popular method
is for them to apply to their Assembly
men and Senators for influence; for
lawmakers have for many years as
sumed to control the patronage. In

CHANGERS IN COUNCIL.
Election of Oficers-Kick Against
the Touhey Lot Purchase.

Sacramento Grange held its annual
meeting yesterday. The attendance was
large. Worthy Master w. W. Greer,
who had just returned from the meet
ing of the National Grange in New
Hampshire, entertained those present
by an interesting review of the session
of that body.
At noon the Grange held it's usual
feast, and it is needless to say there
was nothing lacking for the good of the
inner man. What the women of the
Grange don't know about cooking is
hardly worth learning.
After an interesting program of ex-
ercises had been disposed of the follow
ing officers were elected for the ensuing
term: Master, J. II. Hayden; Overseer,
j. Schell; lecturer, ]. A. Read; Stew
ard, G. G. Baumgartel; Assistant Stew

A. Read: Gatekeeper, j. H. Beach.
Present Master J. H. Beach becomes
the Past Master of the Grange.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed regarding the proposed purchase of
a lot by the Supervisors, for county use,
at the price asked therefor, $4,000:
Resolved, That Sacramento Grange,
No. II, enters solemn protest
against any such purchase at any such
price, believing as we do that the value
of said lot is not above 50, 500.
Resolved, That the taxpayers of
Sacramento County protest against the
extravagant methods of the rockpile,
when crushed rock can be procured
from Folsom that is much better and
cheaper;
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the Supervisors
under, the seal of the Grange"

A Dose That Little Children Might
Have Picked Un.

Samples were distributed yesterday
on the porches and in the yards of
houses, the envelope advertising a
brand of pills, and containing two of
them.
The envelope stated that one was
a dose, SO that it is easy to imagine
that if a little child got hold of the
package and swallowed the pills the
result would be dangerous, and posi-
bly, fatal. A citizen who found one of
the packages on his porch promises to
bring the matter up before the Trustees
and ask for an ordinance affiXing a
penalty to the distribution of such
things.

NO ARBITRATION.
The Matter Is One Which Concerns
 National Honor.

Chicago, March 22-The Posts Washington special says: The time taken by the court of inquiry to in vestigate the Maine disaster has given the president an opportunity to test the sense of Americans and to formu- late a course of action. All doubts may be set at rest and the people may feel certain that their will in regard to Cuba will be executed. There has never been any doubt on that point, but there has been uncertainty as to the time and methods which it might be best to employ.
 It is as good as settled that any de- mand from Spain for a reference of the issues growing out of the Maine yer dict to a neutral court of arbitration will be denied. The position taken is that if the report is anything short of an explanation of a clearly pre- ventible cause, the cause of national hohor cannot be dissssociated from the issues and that no question in which the national honor is involved even in the remotest degree can be submitted to arbitration by outsiders.

SUES FOR A WHITE WIFE.
Rev. J. c. Williams, Colored Divine
 Asks Law to Enforce His Claim.

Mascoutah, H., March 22-Rev. J. c.

He wants to marry Miss Lavina Davis, a comedy young white woman, who attends his church
 She is about 19 years of age and ap- pears deeply smitten with the colored divine. When Williams, who is very dark, applied for the marriage license and Clerk Hilgard learned that it was white girl he expected to marry the clerk fiatly refused the legal document.
 Williams claims that under the equal rights law, passed by the last Illi- nois legislature, he has the legal right to marry a white woman, with her consent, of course, and he proposes to do so if he has to take the matter to the state supreme court in order to ge license to marry

FEW RECRUITS SECURED.
Out of Thousands Applying not Many
 Answer the Requirements.

Washington, March 22.-There is much concern in the navy department in regard to the lack of recruits. De- spite the large number of applicants for places, only a few of them are found qualified mentally and physi- cally.
 This will probably lead to the detail of a board of officers, who will visit places along the lakes and Atlantic coast, with a view of establishing a reserve which shall be distinct from the naval militia.
 The formation of such body will require an act of congress, but in the meantime it is proposed to ascertain the extent and the possibilities of such a plan.
 The navy is in urgent need of men, and if the service possessed some such branch as does the British navy. whi"h can call upon a trained reserve in the time Of emergency, there would be no embarrassment.
 The officials have been surprised that more satisfactory recruits are not obtained. It has been two weeks since the order was given to place the Min neapolis and Columbia in commission. Those ships lack 400 men of their re- quisite complement.

Washington, March 22.-The cabi- net meeting today lasted something over one hour and was devoted ex- clusively to the Spanish situation in general and to the forthcoming re- port of the Maine court of inquiry. The tone of the discussion was very firm and determined that there must come an end to the present state of affairs in Cuba.
 Secretary Long authorized the statement that the understanding be- fore the cabinet was that the report would reach Washingon next Thurs day or Friday; that it was very voluminous, and that the publication and transmission to congress would not occur until next Monday or Tues day, as the president would require that much time to give the document the mature consideration which it's momentous character required.
 Other cabinet officers stated that the general plan includes the sending of a presidential message along with the report stating that Spain has been called upon to make a suitable re- sponse to the case presented by the court of inquiry.
 While the cabinet associates of the president maintained their usual re- serve as to the exact character of their deliberations, yet it was not conceded that the discussion proceeded on the theory that the coming report would show that the Maine explosion was not the result of an accident, but was due to an external cause

Th9 III Fated Helen w. Amy Sailed From San Francisco Into Heavy Seas and was Probably Lost the Same Night.

San Francisco, March 22.-Upon the arrival of the Pacific Coast Steamship company's steamer, Santa Rosa, from San Diego today, news was received here of another horrible accident indi- rectly attributable to the Alaskan gold excitement which is believed to have cost the lives of forty passeng gers and sailors. Captain Alexander of the Santa Rosa reported that early this morning while nine miles off Point Bonita at the mouth of the Golden Gate he sighted derelict bottom up. The tug Sea Witch was immediately dispatched to the point indicated and found the derelict to be the bark Helen w Amy, Captain Hogan, which sailed hence for Copper river points with twenty-seven passengers and a crew of thirteen on Sunday last. The bark lay upon her starboard side with her stern low down in the water. Her deck hamper was badly wrecked and several blanks of her hull were washed loose by the seas which broke over
 
 boats among the wreckage it is not believed that her passengers and crew escaped by putting off from the vessel in them, as there has been very heavy sea for several days past.
 Furthermore, no word has been re- ceived from the survivors if any ex- ist, although the derelict was sighted within ten miles of this port and fully forty-eight hours have passed since the wreck occurred.
