mo MORE DELAY
| IN LAND TRIALS
Attorney General BOnaparte GOdded
tc Order Action.
If Heney Cannot Leave San Francis
CO, Trials Will Proceed Without
Him-Bristol to Handle Hall and
Hermann Cases-HaIrs Protest Is
Needed.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Further post
ponement Of the trial of the Oregon
land fraud cases is not to be tolerated.
Because of complaints and criticisms
the department OF Justice has decided
to take radical steps, which will force
trials at an early date, and it is expect
ed that District Attorney Bristol will
soon receive instructions to proceed.
Only recently John Hall, under in
dictment, wrote the president, asking
for trial. His request was transmitted
to the attorney general and thence to
Mr.. Bristol, who replied that he could
not proceed. as that was one Of F. ].
Heney's cases.
The department says that, If MI
Heney cannot get away from San Fran
cisco long enough to prosecute Hall and
Binger Hermann, some one else will be
found who can take up this work. In
fairness to those under Indictment, the
department believes these long delayed
cases should be tried. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Bristol will be instructed t.
prosecute Hall and Hermann, as wei
as all others under indictment for lanC
| frauds.

MIGHT SPOIL YOSEMITE.
Muir and Keith Oppose New Water
Supply Source.


San Francisco, Nov. 25.-John Muir,
the famous naturalist, and William
Keith, the noted landscape painter,
have protested to President Roosevelt
against the plans Of the city of San
Francisco to establish reservoirs in the
Hetch- Hetchy valley, in the Yosemite
reservation, for the purposes Of mu-
nicipal water supply. They base their
protest on aesthetic grounds, saying
that the projected reservoirs would dis
figure the landscape.
1t is feared that this opposition will
have great weight with the president,
as he specially commissioned Mr.. Mnir
to make an investigation and report to
him. When the president requested
Mr.. Muir to investigate, he expected to
get expert knowledge on water sources
and purity, not thinking Of the aes-
thetic side OF the matter. Mr.. Muir,
however, got his friend, Mr.. Keith, to
accompany him into the reservation,
and the two decided that huge reser-
voirs would mar the natural wonders.
San Francisco engineers ridicule the
idea that the reservoirs would spoil the
landscape.

A New Source of Heat.

Virginia City, New. Nov. 26.-Some
engineers of Virginia City, rejecting
on the scarcity Of fuel every winter in
that rigorous climate, have hit upon an
odd idea for mitigating the tempera-
ture and warming the buildings Of that
town. One of them has undertaken to
struggle with the difficulty by utilizing
the superhuous heat of the adjacent
mines, which he proposes to tap with
an iron tube, and so ventilate the
mines while heating the houses.

that country contains a patch Of wheat
or rye and another of barley. Another
fair portion grows potatoes A row Of
cabbage grows all round on the sloping
sides OF the bitches, with n row OF
onions just outside, leaving bare walk
ing room between them and the grain.
The shade trees round the house are
pear trees. Every foot OF land is made
to produce, and the farmer keeps pigs

NEW BOXER OUTBREAK.
Aged Chinese Empress Alone Holds
Back Fanatic fiordes.

San Francisco, Nov. 25.-Another
Boxer outbreak OF the sort which oc-
CURED in China in 1899, when many
lives were lost, is threatened for the
near future, according to advices re-
ceived here on the auxiliary collier
Justin, arriving from Marila and
Guam, and the United States is pre-
pairing to rush troops to China at a
moments notice. A steamer fully
loaded with provisions and ammunition
is lying in the harbor at Manila and,
should a report be received from China
to the effect that the Boxers are again
on the rampage, troops from the Phil
ippines will be Immediately hurried to
the scene OF the outbreak.
Those arriving on the Justin state
that from reports received from China
it is pointed out that this trouble il
likely to occur in the vicinity OF Pekin
where the former fighting resulted
from an attack upon the missionaries
1t is stated that trouble would hav,
resulted long before now, except for thu
interference OF the dowager empress
To her alone, it is stated by men arriv
ing on the collier, is due the fact tina
the Boxers have remained quiet for tn
past many months. At the presen
time the empress is seriously i'll, and i
is said that her death is expected il
the near future.
Once the empress has passed away
the Boxers will lose little time in re
newing their attacks upon the mission
aries, and it is known that they hav
made up their minds to drive tn
teachers of religion out of China for al
time.
