PACIFIC CABLE.
Not Likely to Be One From British
Columbia to China.

OTTAWA, April 29.-The proposed
Pacific cable to connect British Column
bia with China and Australia has re-
ceived a setback. A copy of an agree
ment entered into between the British
Government and the Eastern Extern
sion Australian China Telegraph Com
pany in 1898 by Lord Ripon has just
been made pubic. In this agreement
the British Government promised not
to lay or permit to be granted any con-
cession for laying any submarine cables
connecting Hongkong, Singapore or
Labaun, unless found necessary in the
general interest of Great Britain. If
the proposed cable for Canada is to be
deprived of the large business it was
expected it would receive from a con-
nection at Hongkong, it would be seri-
ously handicapped. Great Britain, ac-
cording to the terms of the agreement,
may purchase the cable Of the Eastern
Extension Company on twelve months
notice for the sum of 100000.

MURDOCH NOTE CASE.
Evidence introduced in the Trial
in Progress at Willows.

WILLOWS, April 29.-At the opening
of court to-day in the Murdoch case
Judge Pirkey notified the counsel for
the defense that no more testimony re-
lating to the poverty or the wealth of
Samuel or William Murdoch would be
admitted in evidence.
Adam Compton, nephew of William,
and one of the defendants was called
to the stand. He testified that he was
living at Calvin Place, which was owned
by William Murdoch, and that he was
farming it for his uncle William. He
also stated that no seed wheat during
the years 1879 or 1880 came to that
place for William Murdoch
This contradicts the testimony of T.
J. Kirkpatrick, plaintiffs witness, who
swore that VIM. Murdoch came to his
place during one of those years and
purchased a load of seed wheat
The same witness swore that William
Murdoch never drove one-horse buggy
at any time.
This contradicts the testimony of
Mary Helen Murdoch, who swore that
William Murdoch came with a one
horse buggy to her house to, carry away
the $4,000 loaned to William by Sam
uel in 1877. just one day prior to max
ing that signature note.
Henry Compton, nephew of William
Murdoch, was called. He swore that
William never owned or used a one
horse buggy. He always drove a two
horse buggy with the top off.
The deposition was read of George
Bragg, pertaining to the poverty OF
Samuel Murdoch during his first years
in California; also the deposition OF
George Noody, stating that Samuel
Murdoch in the fall of 1872 and 1873
owned 2400 head of sheep. The wit
ness leased 500 of him in shares in the
fall of 1872.
The dispositions were both ruled out
by the Court.

by surprise by the rulings of the Court
on this testimony, and asked for fur

GOOD BEDS.
Few Homes That Have Entirely
Comfortable Beds.

eve spend one-third of our lives in
bed; and yet beds are not made a
supreme or even a very important con-
sideration in the equipment of most
homes The fact is strangely .unac-
countable," writes Ella, Morris Kretsch-
mar in the 'Woman's Home Compan-
ion" "Anne of Austria told her friend
Cardinal Mazarin that her idea of flu
ture punishment waste be put be-
tween linen sheets. So would say many
If questioned-at least the protest
against linen would be long and loud
In winter it borders upon refined tor
ture, in summer it is fairly comfort
able, but not sufficiently so to Justify it's
expensiveness. Nice cotton sheets,
made long enough to- tuck in generously.
are the sensible thing, and good enough
for the most fastidious. Sheets should
measure at least two and three-auarter
yards. This will make the sheet long
enough to tuck it well in at the foot
and give enough at the top to turn
back and prevent the blankets from
coming in contact with the face and
hands. Why will people make sheets
too short? 1t is one of those sins of
domestic management which encour-
ages male humanity to profanity and
women to hysteria. Did any woman
ever save $40 in a lifetime by shorten
ing her sheets? If she did her family,
if normal, have taken it out of her
nerves.
I'm providing beds for a family one
should guard against insists. If hus-
band, son or brother is six feet three,
let him be spared at home the discom-
fort he is sure to suffer abroad in the
accommodating of his superfuous
inches. He is entitled to the privilege
of stretching out. The length of a bed
for an adult should be no less than six
feet six inches.
The use of folding bed is either
an accusation or a matter for congratu-
lation. If nece ssity, by reason of space
limitation, its use must be condoned
but If used as matter of choice, it
stands as an accusation against the
sense of propriety of it's owner. rs
presence in roomy, well-appointed
home, unless for emergencies, is I'M
justifiable."

THE SIGNATURE LAW.
Stockton Independent: Contempt for
the law is the initial step toward an
archy The press has a higher ana
nobler task to perform than to assume
leadership in such a movement. 1t Is
unfortunate that the San Francisco
papers had not adhered to their orig
inal proposition tol sign all articles until
the law could have been properly tested
by the courts 1t will be easy for the
public to determine which of the met
ropolitan papers are responsible for the
belated change of policy. The papers
that most frequently abuse others for
disobeying the laws are the ones. OF
course, which refused to be curbed in
any way. The policy adopted by the
independent in signing all local items
is the same as the one originally set
tied upon by the publishers OF san
Francisco 1t was determined to sign
all items and articles in preference to
those only which came under the pro-
visions of the law, because newspaper
could not well have Judge in its Of
fee constantly. And furthermore, in
case of an action, it might be inferred
by am unfriendly court or jury that
the editor in separating the items indi-
rectly confessed that those with sig
natures might be defamatory We be-
lieve this to have been a safe and cor
rect conclusion, and believe that the
press of the State would have grown in
public estimation and added to it's in
fluence had it generally followed this
course.
