sion yesterday, the following officers
were elected to serve for the ensuing
year: President, Mrs. Webber OF this
city; corresponding secretary, Mrs.
Smith of Highgrove; recording secre-
tary, Mrs. Emma Stewart Of Winches-
ter; treasurer, Mrs. ]. ]. Hewitt of this
city.
A. G. Patton, one Of the largest land
owners of the western end of this coun-
ty, while in the city today, stated that
the grain crop in his vicinity will be
light one, lighter, even. than the ranch
ers thought it would be, even allowing
Tor the drought and other backsets which
nave initiated against the farmers in
terests this past winter. Mr. Patton does
not expect to reap more than small
half crop, and it is the same with his
neighbors.
Riverside wholesale butchers are find
ing 1t very difficult to secure a supply OF
good beef in the usual Arizona supply
market, and they expect to have to hunt
Tor beer cattle in other sections further
east. New Mexico will be drawn upon,
ana 1t is not altogether improbable that
hte wholesalers of Los Angeles, who get
a supply from still further east, may
soon be called upon to furnish retailers
here.
Word was received here today from a
young Riversider, named Grant Willetts,
who went to Klondike last December, to
the effect that he and two partners,
friends from Fresno, had struck it rich
in those northern gold fields, and that
each of the three men cleaned up $10,0 900
In the month Of January. The receipt Of
this news has stirred other young River
siders, and number will probably make
start for the gold fields at an early
date.
Constable McKim of San Jacinto
brought to the county Jail today little
old Mexican, whom the officer found
domiciled in a cave in the San Jacinto
mountains. The man is fully so years
of age, and he bears very striking re-
semblance to what could be easily taken
for the missing link. The man was ex-
amined for insanity, but the doctors
agreed that all that was the matter with
the old fellow was due to exposure and
lack of proper nourshment. and he was
ordered to the county Jail for thorough
grooming and filling up.

Several Charlton county Democrats
were IN Linn county the latter part Of
last week to assist Judge Rucker in his
campaign for congress against Capt.
Eads. Every inch of the ground was
stubbornly contested, but Judge Rucker
was a few laps in the lead when the
wire was reached. The Carroll county
boys were also out in force ''whooping
'em up" for their favorite.

in Justice F. NJ. Lewis court. both ef4

Ryan, who was charged with assault
and battery on Harry Rogers, was
found guilty and fined $3.50 and
costs. In the case of the state
against Henry Robinson, who had
been arrested for disturbing the peace
of Thos. Shull and family, the jury
failed to agree, and it is probable that

SPAIN EXCITED.

[By Cable to The Associated Press.1
MADRID, March 8, 1S9S.-The public is
much exercised over the report of the
presence of a squadron of United States
warships at Hong Kong, as it is presumed
the vessels intend to threaten Manila,
the capital of the Philippine Islands, in
the event of war between the United
States and Spain.
The "Imparcial,' in an article, headed
ITO Manila to New York quoted an un-
named high parsonage, who scouts the
idea of an imminent rupture, and says
THE presence of the warships at Hong
Kong is only Washlngton's policy, with
the view of contenting the jingoes."
The high parsonage is said to have
added
But America has not SO many warships
as to warrant such bold action. If the
Yankees go to the Philippines, the Span
iards will go to New York.

Fortunately, the tranquil preparations
of the Government are the best assur-

confidence that better days will dawn

The special committee of the Hudson
slider the Noonan-Simpson; matter is in
session this afternoon Id the Office of
Washington B. Williams Tie members
of the committee are:-Mr. Williams,
Judge Parker. Charles Black. and Rynier
Wortendyke
Lawyer william II. speer appeared be-
fore the committee on behalf of the ac-
cused men, Alexander Simpson and Joseph
NJ Noonan and asked that fhe Bar As
ISOLATION postpone action until after the
men have been retired. He told the COM
mittee that Attorney General Grey had
promised to move the trial the first week
in April Asked on what grounds he
would seek postponement Lawyer Speer
said:-
''The legal effect, systematically
stated, is that the Bar Association will
ask the Supreme Court for rule to show
cause why the defendants should not be
deprived of their constitutional rights
The basis of the epigram is that the Con-
stitution guarantees to every man ac-
cused of crime speedy and public trial
by an impartial jury. The moral effect
of the disbarment proceedings would be
to nullify this constitutional privilege by
prejudicing every man in Hudson county
against the defendants. Another phase of
the case is that the Supreme Court would
be obliged to pass in this informal way
on a record which may come before it
formally
What action the committee will take
on Lawyer speer's petition has not yet
been announced
