PHEASAN[IE,.

As was said ID last week. is-
sue e Z. l.. Morgan has received
from Oregon fourteenPheasants,
five ROSTERS and ninehens. They
are Of the genuine Mongolian
species. The hens, now about
six or seven months Old, are about
d third larger than a partridge
and are colOred q little morerich-
ly than the latter bird. The roO8-
ters in grace Of movement, ruCi-
ness of form and richness Of col
oring defy description. AS to
color they are red, blue, black,
white, brown, every Imaginable
color and tint mingled as nature
only can paint, IN size they are
much like the full blood game
rooster. Mr. Morgan will keep
live, give three to w. |. Spears
and the others to two parties
owning land around town, Mr..
Morgan will keep his in a large
inclosure until next spring when
he will turn them loose on his
place north of town; and tits sup
posed that the others will be re-
leased at once.
Those birds propagate very
rapidly. A few were carried to
Oregon not many yearsago. Now
not onlyis that state but four or
five surrounding states bounti-
fully supplied with them. The
same is true of Ohio and neigh
boring states. In the two men
toned states rigid laws were en-
acted and enforced for their pro
lection.
Therefore we may conclude
that if they are not molesiedhere,
in five years they will afford fair
sport Our Supervisors have
passed an order to protect these
birds. But the mere passage of
| this order will not protect them.
1t must not only be enforced, but
the people, black and white, men,
women and children, must do all
in their power to protect them.
Then in a few years everybody
can have sport and game.

it was the day on which the case

o'clock the Rev. Doctor Cameron.
P, E, preached a splendid ser
mon and immediately after din
ner was served in front Of the
church. Soon after dinner the
Presiding Elder called the house
to order and asked: is there any
app9als:" Then Bro, BourrouGu
told of the Lewis case, and }. M.
DoWner read the minutes Of the
old trial by request ofB. T. Ross,
who reprepresented the church.
The minutes showed that the a}}-
pellant had demanded u "churcn
vote on his case on the Old trial,
but was overruled by the chair.
The charge was that he had fur
niShed the MOrmons a house to
preach in, and disseminating doe
trine contrary to the articles OF
religion in the Methodist Disci-
pline. The crOsS-eXaminati0n Of
|one committeeman was specially
worthy Of notice. Mr.. Lewis ask
ed a committeeman: What do you
know Of the MormonS? Answer.
Very little. Have you heard them
preach? No. Have you read any
of their literature? [ have not.
Have you read the Discipline?
Very little. Have you read the
Bible? And the discreet commit
teeman answered, mot much, "

course the old gentleman was just

somewhat lengthy address he
told of the irregularities Of his
previous trial, and offered tc

demoralized, and the usualresult
is that little or nothing is done.
The assignment of road hands
rests with the Board Of Superyi-
sors. 1t is in their power to
make and change assignments
for the convenience OF road work
ers. The law, however, did aot
intend that an assignment should
be made that would be detrimen-
tai to the public just because the
assignment would be convenient
for the party applicant. Not only
the convenience of the party
wanting a new assignment but
that Of the general public should
be consulted.

partment felt regarding the issuance Of a

partment felt regarding the issuance Of a
complaint against Mrs. Smith.
Major Donnell did not at first feel in
clined to issue complaint. for he said that
he was not sure there was a strong enough
case against the woman to warrant the
expense which would be incidental to a
prosecution. He cited other cases Of Grim
inal malpractice, where the prosecution
supposed they had a positive case yet the
defendants were acquitted. Another point
on which Major Donnell expressed himself
as being in some doubt was whether the
letter Lizzie had written to Roller and GER
tain statements she had made would be
admitted in evidence, as 1t Is doubtful if
the girl thought she was about to die when
she wrote the letter. AS the father of the
girl had expressed his desire of pushing
the prosecution it was decided finally by
Major Donnell to issue the complaint today
when Hutflesz is expected to go there and
consult with the district attorney. Mrs.
Smith will be charged with having per-
formed a criminal operation. the minimum
penalty for which is two years and the
maximum five years.
The remains of Lizzie will be buried
this morning at 10 o'clock from the rooms
of Orr & Hines and the interment will be
at Calvary cemetery.

The Burbank theater was crowded yes
terday with the handsomest assembly col
lectively that has graced an edifice in this
city for some time. From the stage to the
last seat in the gallery it was, with few
exceptions, an audience Of bright young
faces, and whether pretty or plain it mat
tiers not, as youth in itself is always at
tractive. Added to this were the gay OF
white summer gowns, and heads from
which the hats were all removed except
the fetching white canvas brushes of the
senior BIS.
1t was the class day exercises Of the

A brief address of welcome was made by
the president of the class, Harry Austin,
followed by the reading of the class will

This was followed by the inevitable

PLENTY OF COAL
SUPPLY FOR DEwEY's FLEET
SECURED
Purchased in Honolulu-Ten Thou
sand Troopers Now Afioat on the
Way to Manila

WASHINGTON, June 29.--The officials
here are confident that Admiral Dewey has
received the achievements under General
Anderson, which sailed from San Francisco
on May 18th, consisting of $500 men. The
Charleston certainly has arrived as she
was leading the transports some distance
after leaving Honolulu. With this addition
of 400 sailors and marines Dewey will feel
much easier. The navy department, it now
appears, did not expect to hear of the ar
rival of the troop transports by the 23d of
this month, the date of the last report from
Manila. They had estimated that the
transports might be somewhat delayed by
a consideration for coal consumption, de-
string to avoid reaching Manila with empty
bunkers, as would have been the case II
they were driven at full steam across tho
Pacific. Later on there will be plentiful
supply of coal at Manila, as United States
Consul Haywood at Honolulu has sue
ceeded in purchasing about II, eco tons, soma
of which will be forwarded Immediately to
the Philippines. The publication of the
semi official note referred to by an Eng
fish newspaper this morning has caused
no disquiet here nor has 1t thrown any new
light on the situation. 1t was stated posi-
lively here last week that there have been
no diplomatic exchanges between Dhe gov
ernments of the United States and Ger
many on the subject Of the landing of Ger
man forces in Manila, and the semi-officisl
note above referredto merely confirms that
statement and shows that the state of ar
fairs exists.
The declaration in the note. of the German
intention to land marines ''as soon as II
may become necessary for the protection
Of Germans there" is said to be nothing
more than a repetition of the provisions OF
information law on that subject. However
Admiral Dewey doubtless would be con-
suited astothe existence OF such a necessity
If the requirements of neutrality are to be
observed by Germany, and Of that the state
department entertains no doubt. Neverthe-
less, it is not disguised that the administra-
ton will feel greatly relieved when the
American military forces have arrived and
taken up the occupation of Manila. There
are now afioat 10000 United States soldiers
destined for the Philippines. the last of these
having left San Francisco day before yes
terday. Major-General Merritt, who has
been designated military commandant OF
the Philippines, sailed today from San
Francisco with his staff on the Newport.
1t is thought to be very probable that nc
serious question of jurisdiction Will arise
at the Philippines as between the American
forces and the insurgents pending General
Merritts arrival and the announcement of
his purpose to take military control OF the
islands.

Whv Hobson Is Held

NEW YORK, June ga dispatch to the
World from Madrid says:
The Spanish government and Captain
General Blanco are equally disposed to
exchange the Merrimac prisoners, in fact
an authorization to exchange them was
telegraphed to General Blanco, but the
Havana and Madrid newspapers made d
row over it, affecting to believe that 1t
would be very dangerous to liberate men
who have been close enough to the defenses
at Santiago to be in position to carry back
Information. Accordingly, after some hest
tation, the government insisted upon Gen.
eral Blanco, General Linares and Admiral
Cervera refusing to exchange, although all
three were in favor of an exchange.
According to Spanish advices, Lieutenant
Hobson and the other prisoners were con-
fined only short time in Moro fort and
were then transferred to vessel in the
bay. They are believed to be safe as long
as Linares and Cervera can control the
situation. The Spanish regulars are sure
to respect the rights Of the prisoners. The
only danger is from the volunteers. Men,
bers Of the old Spanish party are exasper-
ated by the downfall of the old regime.
