sirous of remaining in California,
where he proposes going, five or six
months, and while he might possibly
evade the plain provisions of the law,
he prefers to resign.
The condition of the governor is not
serious, but his physicians have ad.
vised him that the only cure for the
insomnia from which he suffers is tC
spend some time in a lower altitude
1t is understood that the governor

board, voted to readvertise
for bids for the state printing, alleg.
ing that under the bids submitted by

Struggled Opium Seized.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. %. - The
customs officials of this port have for
some time suspected the existence OF
an organized ring of opium smugglers
operating on steamers running be.
tween Victoria, B. c., and San Fran.
cisco. Startling confirmation OF this
suspicion was obtained yesterday,
when the customs house searchers
found 22O fve-tael tins of the contra
band slowed away on top of the
donkey boiler of the steamer City of
Puegla, few hours after that vessel
reached Broadway wharf.
Opium can be bought in Victoria for
about Ss pound. Duty paid, it sell
here for about Sl4 a pound. In the
tins found here yesterday were about
100 pounds of the drug. The duty on
the opium siezed would amount to
about 5000, and the capture is one OF
the largest made at this point in
wears.

Internal machines, fire, poison and

the presence of two detectives OF the

family from being blown up.
That was the fourteenth attempt at
the life of Roberts. A year ago, Hurst
was arrested for trying to blow up

leased. Previous to that, shots had
been fired through the window Of
