1t now develops that the result of
the republican primary race for con-

the result. However, it is believed
that Judge Prouty has defeated Con-

A PITCHFORK FOUND
IN HEART OF TREE.
(Spccial to The Sentinel.

Los Angeles. June 5.-Is there a
Rip Wrinkle of Orange county
still. sleeping in the dells near Gar
den Grove? If SO, the pitchfork
which he one day carelessly tossed
into a young eucalyptus tree has
been recovered by Charles McLaren
and presented to the Chamber of
Commerce.
So long had RIP slept without COM
ing back for his pitchfork that when
discovered it was buried in the heart
of mammoth tree, nearly five feet
in circumference.
Mr.. McLaren was cutting down the
tree with a saw when the discovery
was made. The trunk was perfectly
round and smooth, and gave no out
ward indication of what 1t contained.
Neither was 1t hollow tree. When
he had sawed neariy to the heart,
Mr.. McLaren encountered the fork.
The condition of the fork bears out
fully the reputation for rustiness sus-
tained by the gun of the original Rip
Van Wrinkle. 1t is on exhibition,
buried just as it was found in the
tree trunk, in the gallery at the
Chamber of Commerce.

KING EDWARD is
TO MEET THE CZAR.
Especial to The sentinel.)

London, June All preparations
have been made for King Edward s
projected visit to Russia, and 1t is
likely that the sovereign VIII board
the royal yacht, Victoria and Albert,
to begin the trip tomorrow. The
meeting between King Edward and
his royal nephew, the Gear of all the
Russias, will take place in the Baltic
next week.
King Edwards efforts to strength
en- the entente cordiale have, in the
case of the projected visit to Emper-
or Nicholas, aroused great deal of
criticism. While the British people
greeted President Fallieres with glad
acclaim, and hailed the consumma-
tion of the approachment between
England and France as a triumph
for King Edwards statesmanship,
there is no such desire among the
masses of the people for the forma-
tion of tie between Britain and
Russia. Many men of liberal and
progressive ideas openly disapprove
of the Kings meeting the Czar.
The Russian government is not in
good order in England, and the con-
tinued Imprisonment of Nicholas
Tschalkovsky has created a strong
sentiment here against the policy
WHICH, dltuouSu llttie mas Deen Hedru

that the Car cannot be held alto
gether responsible, but it is argued
that he cannot escape a share of the
odium, and it is held that it is mani
testify improper for King Edward to
put himself in such position that
people may say he countenances the
brutalities of the Russion govern
ment. In reply to this King Edwards
apolog!sts plead that the meeting
with the Gar will have no political
significance: they say Edward is
simply going to visit his nephew.
