All compositors employed on the Evening Time* struck work at mid-day yesterday. The strike was caused by the Typographical Tnion ordering a job printer employed in the oltice not to touch a newspaper press, the regular pressman having left his situa- tion without a moment's warning. The proprietor of the Times at once employed a man to run the press,, and a strike «i the compositors followed. The editorial force took hold and got out the paper on time, and to-day the Thnet has a full lorce of non- union hands, and everything is progressing smoothly. The Times' has raised the price of composition to 45 cents a 1,000 ems, the union rate being only 40 cents. This is the second time this paper has raised printer's wages of its own free-will. IWKXICO. Aaesixtlnatlon of Free Masons - liull-Bait- i»ir Denounced. I'irv op If F.xuo, January 19th.— Public indi^r.ation lias been aroused in tbe State of I'iieblo over tbe assassination, within four niontlis, in remote parts of the State, of several I'ree Masons, whose politicaland religious ideas were repugnant to (he fanati- cal clericals. The Free Masons throughout the Bepublicsupport the re-election of Gen. I'iaz, and this fact partly explains such acts as those which have shocked the re- spectable and law-abiding citizens of l'ueblo. The clericals in the district men- tioned have declared they would kill every Free Mason. It is probable tho criminals will be severely punished. It is reported that a monster petition against allowing bull BghtS in tlio Federal district will shortly lie presented to the Go \u25a0'eminent. There is a strong sentiment here against these sp ctaclcs, and many of the daily papers attack them as barbarous, iv spite of all this, the lights are atttnded by people from the lirst ranks as well as by the masses. There is reported a rich find of gold at Guanajuato. An Attorney Injured. fCtpirigU, 1888, by Iht California Aaodalt 1 ;v. .->-.; Gilbot, January l!>th. I. F.

Only few escaped. Four Thousand Drowned. SfAKiM, January l'Jth.— The rebels lost ISO men in the recent battle. Colonel Kitchener, who was wounded in the light, has been obliged to go to Cairo for rest and treatment. The Rebel Losh. Suicide of Young Ralston. The Placerville lUpiMican gives the fol- lowing full particulars of the suicide of young Kalston : Coroner Spencer was called to the North Side last Saturday to investigate the death of Samuel Ralston, which occurred about twelve miles east of Georgetown on the evening of the preceding Friday. The cir- cumstances attending the death of Balaton seem to be about as follows : lie and a younger brother, who are the sons of \V. C. Kalston, the cashier of the California Bank, whose suicide about twelve years ago attracted so much attention, have been liv- ing for some time on a piece of land twelve miles east of Georgetown, where they and their mother own some mining property, and where he was contemplating the build- ing of a station or hotel on the road. Samuel Kalston is the eldest of the sons, and was at the time of his death about 36 fears of age. He had been visiting his rel- atives at Oakland during the holidays, and returned to Georgetown about two weeks ago, where he commenced drinking and went on a protracted spree. From Georgetown he went to his house twelve miles east of that place, where he became delirious from the eilects of the liquor,seeming to imagine that he was pursued and that his life was in dan- ger. Last Friday afternoon he swallowed the contents of a small vial of belladonna, but a couple of men who were with him discovered what he had done and by giving him an emetic, prevented death from the poison. About five o'clock on Friday evening, Kalston, who was lying in bed seemingly very weak from the effects of the poison, induced his attendant to retire into the next room for a few moments. The door had been closed between the two rooms for only a few moments, when the man heard a muffled report from the bed- room, and upon going into it he was greeted by the smell of powder smoke. In making an examination they found that Ralston had shot himself through the heart with a Winchester rifle which had been left standing in a corner of the room. The body lay upon the bed and the ball passed entirely through the young man's chest, thenca through a pillow into the head- board of the bed, from which it was after- wards extracted. It was evident that as soon as he had got rid of the attendant, the unfortunate man had secured the rifle from the corner, returned to the bed, propped himself up with the pillows, pressed the muzzle of the gun to his chest and fired. The verdict of the jury was that deceased had taken his own life in this manner while laboring under a fit of temporary in- sanity. Some of the daily papers intimate that a disappointment in love was the cause of the rash act, but no evidence of this was brought out at the inquest, and there seems to be nothing to substantiate the ru- mor beyond the mere fact that Kalston had al ditlerent times been accompanied by a young lady living near Georgetown. A younger brother of the deceased arrived from Oakland in response to a telegram, and was tireseut at the inquest. The body was sent to Oakland for interment. From accounts by the Oakland papers, it appears that Ralston was financially prosperous, and no reason can be assigned for the sui- cide except the nervous prostration and dementia arising from his protracted drink- ing. Imacjixaky Sickness.

The Senate. \\ASitiN.iToK, January 19.h. Senator Jlale, from the Committee -on Appropria- tions, reported back the delayed deficiency bill, and stated that the amendments re- ported ;by the committee were but few in number, and that he would ask the Senate to pass the bill next Monday. Han-ley offered a resolution directing the Secretary of the Interior to report a plan of legislation, thought by him to be needed for the disposition of public timber lands so as to secure the preservation of the na- tional forest lands on the headwaters of the navigable rivers, and to put therein a pro- vision whereby settlers, by legal mean" may provide themselves with timber for building their homes. Adopted. After agreeing to the motion that ad- journment today shall be until Monday the Senate proceeded to the consideration of executive business. In secret session the Senate worked on the calendar of treat- ies. Thorn of chief c<> sequence are the British. Ku .-ian and Dutch extradition treaties. It is understood they are now at work on the last named, and that they are discussing the am .unt i,i ;l n embezzlement or theft which shall render criminals liable to extradition. The House. Belmont of New York inlroduced a joint resolution accepting the invitation of the French Republic to take part in the Inter- national Exposition to be held in Paris in 1889. Referred. Forun of Ohio, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported the invalid pen- sions appropriation bill, and it was referred to the Committee of the Whole. Then the struggling over Wilkins' bank- ing bill was resumed. Another unsuccess- ful effort was made to consider the bill, and after an hour's filibustering the matter went over until to-morrow. After recess, in pursuance of previous order of the House, the ceremony of pre- sentation by the State of Massachusetts to the House, of the portraits of Theodore Sedgwick. John B. Varnum and Nathaniel It. Banks, distinguished citizens of Massa- chusetts who have occupied the Speaker's chair in the National House of Representa- tives, was proceeded with. The portraits, handsomely framed, were ranged side by side in front of the Clerk's desk, and at- tracted much attention. Long of Massa- chusetts made the presentation speech. Randall made a graceful speech of accept- ance and offered appropriate resolutions. These were seconded by Breckenridge of Kentucky, and adopted by the House, which then adjourned. NATIONAL BOARD OF TRA DE. lii.rn-.hlon of a I! umber of Topics of Sa- tiunal Importance. Washington, January 10th. Before the National Hoard of Trade, Captain H. C. Taylor, U. S. N., read a paper on the pro- gress of the work on the Nicaragua Canal and the important commercial results to follow its construction. Captain Taylor said : The requirements of commerce make it certain that there will be a transit for ships between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. American engineers are now on the ground resurveymg the route and mak- ing a final location of the line of the canal. J. M. Miller, Manager of the Stonington steamboat line, followed, and said : The international commerce ol the Western States, seeking an exit through the.Missis- ; ?.;\u25a0!•;, w ready for the market of !-k>uth America. The minerals, grain and lum- ber of the Pacific States and Territories await new and shorter channels to the Eastern market. What may be the devel- opment of the trade of Central America the future must show, but to-day sufficient tonnage exis's to yield .o the Isthmian Ca nal 12 per cent, on the capital of one hun- dred million dollars. Mr. Miller argued the superiority of the Nicaragua route, and declared that England and Germany stand ready to avail themselves of the opportu- nity, should it otier, to control the route. No action was taken upon the subject. Postal telegraphy was taken up. Thur- berofNew York submitted answers to the questions he had sent to Kenrick H. Mur- ray, Secretary of the London Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Murray in substance said the purchase and operation of the tele- graphs by the British Governments were successful as far as the service was con- cerned, but not linancially tothe pcotoffice. The quickne»s, certainty and secrecy of the service was improved under the postotlice management. The increase of employes in the postollice s<mre had been produc- tive of political benetit. The inducements to get up new inventions in telegraphy was not so great under the Government system as if the system was in private hands. The recent reduction in tolls" have been of great benefit to the public, the number of mes- sages sent having increased 33 per cent., but the revenue increased only 6 per cent. The almost universal popular sentiment is against a return to the private management of the wires. SECOND STATE DINNER Giren by President Cleveland to the :>i|ilipin .tii Corps. Washington-, January 19th.— The second of the series of State dinners was given by the President to-night to members of the diplomatic corps. The public parlors and Slate dining-room were, as usual, beauti- fully adorned with a profusion or potted plants, roses predominating. Covers were iaid for forty-nine persons.

SWAMP LAND MATTERS. The Authority for Patenting Swamp and I Overflowed T.»nds. \Cnpyright, ISSB, bytht Cali/urnia .'.ssocint.,! Prmt.] WintMNß, January 10th— The Secre- tary of the Intt-rior, in response to the Sen- ate resolution, to-day transmitted to the Senate a report, replying to the request for information under what authority the swamp and overflowed lands have hereto- fore been patented and listed to the «evera' States, etc. In his answer the Secretary sives a state- ment of the number of acres of land in the several States covered by claims under the Ac! 9 of Congress relating to swamp and overflowed lands. In California the' amount claimed under the Acts relating ' to swamp and overflowed lands was 1 - I 887,1*7 acres. la Oregon, 357,877. The I amount of land approved in California i under the swamp land grants is 1,740,101 acres. In Oregon, 189,385 acres. The i amount of land patented under the Acts of \u25a0 September:!, 1850. and March li, IX6O, in ! California, is 1,405.520 acres, aati in Ore- gon, 31,311 acres. The Secretary says it was ' determined severs! years ago to test the ac- I curacy of the selection of swamp lands made by Slate ajze'its, and the Got- ' ernmeiit's examinations showed that, ' bin fjr this exaa>jnatsQto, large tracts of dry lands woali Lave teen jwitented under the old practice as swamp land. By the Act of July, 1«X), it I was provided that in all cases where town- | ship surveys had or should thereafter be made in California under authority of the United States, and plats thereof approved, the land 3 represented in such plats as swamp and overflowed lands, should have been certified to by the State and provision made for the confirmation of the lands. This Act, the Secretary says, confirmtd to California large tracts* of land that have- since been patented. Rejoicing Over Kandall'.s Defe»i. [Cf/rifU, ISSs, by Uie California Auodaiol Prat,] Washington, January 19th.—The «.ir says to-night : Much satisfaction was felt by the tariff reformers in thn House to- day over the defeat of Randall at Harris- burg yesterdy. The election of Scott's man as Chairman of the Democratic State Com- mittee, and the adoption of resolutions fully indorsing Cleveland's tariff message, is looked upon as a great administration victory. It is the first direct and effective blow at Randall's influence, and itis be- lieved that itwill have an effect upon mat- ters in the House. It may tend to make Randall more ready to act with the ma- jority of his party, to secure the passage of a moderate tariil bill, and it may also have an intluence upon his following in the House. Randall kept close at his desk all day aud refused to talk to any one. California School Lands. Was..in(;tox, January 19th.— McKenna of California has been 'instructed by the House Committee on Public Lands "to re- port favorably to the House his billgrant- ing live per cent, ol the amount from'cash sales of school lands within California to the State. The effect of the passage of this bill will be to give to the State lor school purposes $450,000 now in the Treasury. McKenna has pushed this bill" with energy, and it will get a position or the ca- lendar which insures its early considera- tion. THOSE BOND CASES. They Come Up Again in the Superior Court— Points of Law. Two more of the Sacramento city bond suits were on trial in Judge Armstrong's department of the Superior Court yester- day. Judge John Hunt, Jr., of San Fran- cisco, presided by exchange with Judge Armstrong, who was disqualified to sit in these particular cases. While the parties to the records were different, both cases were practically the same— between holder of the bonds of the city on the one hand and the city and its representatives on the other. In both cases A. 0. Freeman represented the plaintiffs, and A.P. Catlin the defense. W. 0. Belcher had heretofore appeared for Mr. Davis, but he was unable to be present, not having lecovered from the injuries recently received by an acci- dent, and Mr. Freeman represented him on the trial of the case, with the under- standing that Mr. Bilcher would join in the preparation of the brief. The fasts were practically agreed upon in both cases, and they were resolved down to simply a determination of questions of law. The first case tried was that of George K. Bates vs. E. J. tiregory et al. the City Trustees. The action was for a writ of* mandamus to compel the Trustees to issue new bonds in place of several old ones which hnd been issued in 1854. An Act of the Legislature was passed in April 2:2, 1854, authorizing the city of Sacramento, as incorporated by the Act of March 20, 1861, to issue certain bonds, falling due in 1874, and bearing interest at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum. Under this Act a large number of bonds were issued. In 1858 the governments of the city and county wore consolidated, and IN THE CONSOLIDATION AIT It was provided that the old city bonds could be refunded and replaced with C per cent, bonds. In the meantime the 1854 bonds had become scattered, and as the Consolidation Act limited the time for their refunding and many were still out- standing, the Legislature of 1859 extended the lime for their presentation. Another extension Act was passed in 1861. In ISG3 the law to consolidated the govern- ments of the city and county was repealed, and the present charter of the city of Sac- ramento was passed. In 1864 another law was enacted, providing for the refunding of all of the bonds of the city then out- standing. The plaintiff claims that his lSf>4 bonds should be refunded under this law of 1864. The defense claimed that the plaintiff, not bavins taken advantage of the Funding Act of 1858, allowed his bonds to pursue the course contemplated by the Act of 1854 ;and that they fell due in1874, and consequently outlawed in 1878. The plaintiff contended that the provisions of the Acts of 1858 and 1804, that the city should not be sued upon bonds ISSUED HY TIIKIR SANCTION, Exempted prior bonds from the operation of the statute of limitations. Mr. Catlin argued further that the present Board of Trustees were in no .sense the successors to the Mayor and Common Council of the city of Sacramento created by the charter of 1851, and that that" incorporation terminated with the consolidation of tht- city an j county governments In 1858. in this case no claim is made that the bonds should be paid, but only that the Trustees shall take them \\\> and replace them with new bonds. Upon their face the bonds call for $2,544, but the prayer of the petition is thnt the new bonds be issued for the face of the old bonds, together with the amount of unpaid coupons to January 1, 1859, aggre- gating gome $2,800. The law of 1861 pro- vided for the issuance of bonds with cou- pons, dating from the beginning of 1850. Should thp pusition of the plaintiff be sus- tained by tiie Courts, the Trustees will be ordered in this paticular case to issue a bond for some $2 >OU, carrying unpaid in- terest coupons from 1850. The case was heard and submitted on briefs to be tiled. The next case was that of Samuel Davis against the City of Sacramento. This is an action to recover interest on coupons of city bonds issued in 1858, which coupons are detached from the bonds. The coupons fell due in IS7C, and have not been paid. It is claimed in this case that under the Act authorizing the issuance of the bonds it was made the duty of the local govern- ment to levy a tax of $1 on the $100 for the general fund, of which fifty-five per cent, was to be placed into the boss unnra and interest rtwn. And that certain other revenues from the water works, Court fines, etc., were to go into the same fund; that, beginning with ahout 1861, the tax lrvy was rarely made of $t for the general fund, but was at times made as low as 2f> cents ; that when the conpons were presented for payment their payment was refused because" of lack of funds ; that had the former city officers levied the $1 tax, the money would have been provided for the payment of the coupons, and that by reason of this neglect on the part of the "municipal officers the plaintiff has been kept out of his coupon money; therefore he sues for interest on his interest coupons. The face value of th° coupons is about $34,0W, and the interest asked for on that amount is some $JO,UOO. Mr. Catlin claimed that the action was barred by limitation; that there could be p.osuch thing as a suit for interest on in- terest ; that a cause of action conld not be split up; and that if interest should be paid to the plaintiff on these coupon?, and the coupons not taken up, he could transfer them to some other party, who COII.D AGAIN COLLECT IXTEEKT On them. He also made the point that un- der the Act providing for tbe issuance of the bonds from which the coupons had been clipped, the city could not be sued, and he cited decisions of the State Supreme Court and the United States Circuit Court in support of his position. The plaiatiif e4aimed that, as tbe city officers had ne- glected to levy the tax directed by the- Act of 1858; and that the result had* been the non-payment of the coupons, he was au- thorizeJ, notwi hstanding the decisions, to bring a direct action apainst the city. In this case- no evidence has been taken. Coun- sel for the plaintiff offered a tabulated statement showing, year by year, the as- sessed property valuation of tbe city, the rate of taxation, the income from the water work?, Court fines, c!c v , with a view of showing that had the full percentage been levied and collected and the 65 per cent, of the gross, insteau of the net, re- ; cdpta of the water works, etc . been turned : into the interest and biuking fund, thecoo- | pons in question \\cn\d have been paid at : maturity. The defense olj i pend- ing the aruur^fnt au aoionra merit was takea until \h- \ a'oiutk. HOME AFFAIRS. IMPORTANT IRRIGATION ESTER- PRISE i'UOPOSED.

Shanklin, formerly Surveyor-General of California, is in El Faso, whence he willgo to Washington on business connected with a big irrigation project in southern Lower California. He says he has just completed surveys of an immense irrigating canal, which leaves the Colorado river a short dis- tance below Yuma, on the west side of, the river, crosses the Mexican boundary line into Lower California, tbence back "north into the great Colorado Desert, a large por- tion of which S at no great elevation above the sea level, and is in fact, in some parts, below it. There would be unlimited possi- bilities of reclaiming this princely do- main, heretofore looked on as the most hopeless desert surface in the wo.-ld. There is no lack of water in the lower Colorado river. No amount taken out of it could work an injury to those sections where settlers are already living and have vested riparian rights. By diverting a large body of water in the Colorado dtsert, it is thought, besides re- claiming all the irrigable lands lying above the sea level, a series of large" ponds or lakes could be formed, which might in duo process of time exert an appreciable in- fluence upon the climate of that section of tie country, at present not only the driest but the hottest on the face of the globe, anil havim; a higher average temperature than that little known but greatly misunder- stood desert of Sahara. General Shanklin says no great engineering difficulties are in the way of this enterprise, which when once finished will be the greatest irrigating undertaking in the whole world. THE READING STRIKE. SlroDg Argument of the Strikers and New York, January l'Jth. The most im- portant developments in the Heading min- ers strike, showing much dissatisfaction among the miners, is a statement given out at Shenandoah by a prominent miner, and in part addressed to miners. The writer strongly objects to the "saddling" of the railroad strike upon himself and his fel- low-miners' heads. I know a large num- ber who don't feel like being pensioners upon our fellow-workmen, like Lehigh men have beer, upon us for the past four months, or receiversof beggarly portions ob- tained by a begging committee as long as I have strength to do a day's work when the work is at my door, nor do I feel like sup- porting over-paid and insulting conimit- teemen, who call themselves leaders, Master Workmen, or what you please; who, in the name of organized labor, and under the pretense of defending its cause against tyrannical proprietors, have become tyrants themselves of a severe order, and at ti-e same time are living upon money taken from our pockets."

A VPry roniatic story is being circulated about the city to-day that Miss Lizzie Melville, a beautiful young lady Using with Mrs. Burns at Second and Locust street*, and who was married to Harry Walker a few days ap<>, had been carried away by her father during her husband's absence and placed in a convent in California. Lizzie was young and capricious, acd accepted two offers of marriage, and had the two weddings set for the same day. Two licenses were issued and two hands and suppers engaged. There was but one wed- ding, one rapper, one happy man, and one ruan left. Now the question is. whether it is better to be married at all ? Uoth the disappoiuted lovers claim the other fellow was left, THE BOY MURDERER. Lust Appeal in Xowliu's Hehalf Has Been Denied. 1! ston. January Uhb. The Executive Council on yesterday denied the last appeal in behalf of Xowlin, the boy-nmrderer of Somerville, and there is nothing now to save him from the gallows on Friday. The boy is perfectly -stocial. His manner is not thai oi b bravado, but a genuine indiffer- emx- to his fate, which has not changed sines bis arrest. He eats and sleeps as naturally as any boy of his ape, aod as the fatal day approaches shows no sign of a re- alization of the situation. Sheriff Gashing has decided that he will admit to the hang- ing none but legal witnesses, and taey hhail not include reporters. Train Robbers Worsted. St. Loud, January I9th An attempt was made upon the Wabash train last night by robben near Mission (Sty. The train was Bagged and ths engineer ordered out ol bis cab. The officials had information that an attempt to rob would be tuade. and a volley from shotguns nut the rotbeis. The leader whs shot down. The county officials are now in pursuit, and some of the rubbers have been captured. Telegrams to General Manager Hays from Division Superintendent McGill say all of the would-be robbers have been cap- tured. Three of them were overtaken by a posse, and the fourth, Barney Sweeney, the leader, who stopped the train, and WOO receivrd a heavy load of shot in the breast from the gun of a man concealed in the engine cab. was found in the woods, where he had crawled after being wounded. The plot was given away by one of the uanp, named King, who told (irant Arnol.l, the station agent, what was going on. Arnold in turn informed the Sheriff of Clay county, and the latter organized a posse. Arnold was one of the posse, and it was he that shot Sweeney. Kin}; remained with the gang and signaled the train to stop, but took no other part in the robbery. Sweeney is fatally wounded. He is a well-known tough, and it was he who was concerned in a blackmailing scheme against General Manager Talmadge two or three years ago. Ni.w Yokk, January L9th, The.Xorthern Pacific Directors, at their regular meeting to-day, formally ratified the lease of the Oregon Navigation Company.

Suicide of Young Ralston.The Placerville lUpiMican gives the fol-

lowing full particulars of the suicide ofyoung Kalston :

Coroner Spencer was called to the NorthSide last Saturday to investigate the deathof Samuel Ralston, which occurred abouttwelve miles east of Georgetown on theevening of the preceding Friday. The cir-cumstances attending the death of Balatonseem to be about as follows:lie and ayounger brother, who are the sons of \V.C. Kalston, the cashier of the CaliforniaBank, whose suicide about twelve years agoattracted so much attention, have been liv-ing for some time on a piece of land twelvemiles east of Georgetown, where they andtheir mother own some mining property,and where he was contemplating the build-ing of a station or hotel on the road.Samuel Kalston is the eldest of the sons,and was at the time of his death about 36fears of age. He had been visiting his rel-atives at Oakland during the holidays,and returned to Georgetown abouttwo weeks ago, where he commenceddrinking and went on a protractedspree. From Georgetown he went tohis house twelve miles east of that place,where he became delirious from the eilectsofthe liquor,seeming to imagine that hewas pursued and that his life was in dan-ger. Last Friday afternoon he swallowedthe contents ofa small vial of belladonna,but a couple of men who were with himdiscovered what he had done and by givinghim an emetic, prevented death from thepoison. About five o'clock on Fridayevening, Kalston, who was lying in bedseemingly very weak from the effects ofthe poison, induced his attendant to retireinto the next room for a few moments.The door had been closed between the tworooms for only a few moments, when theman heard a muffled report from the bed-room, and upon going into it he wasgreeted by the smell of powder smoke. Inmaking an examination they found thatRalston had shot himself through the heartwitha Winchester rifle which had beenleft standing in a corner of the room. Thebody lay upon the bed and the ball passedentirely through the young man's chest,thenca through a pillow into the head-board of the bed, from which it was after-wards extracted. It was evident that assoon as he had got rid of the attendant, theunfortunate man had secured the rifle fromthe corner, returned to the bed, proppedhimself up with the pillows, pressed themuzzle of the gun to his chest and fired.The verdict of the jury was that deceasedhad taken his own life in this mannerwhile laboring under a fitof temporary in-sanity. Some of the daily papers intimatethat a disappointment in love was thecause of the rash act, but no evidence ofthiswas brought out at the inquest, and thereseems to be nothing to substantiate the ru-mor beyond the mere fact that Kalstonhad al ditlerent times been accompaniedby a young lady living near Georgetown.A younger brother of the deceased arrivedfrom Oakland in response to a telegram,and was tireseut at the inquest. The bodywas sent to Oakland for interment. Fromaccounts by the Oakland papers, itappearsthat Ralston was financially prosperous,and no reason can be assigned for the sui-cide except the nervous prostration anddementia arising from his protracted drink-ing.

Before theNational Hoard of Trade, Captain H. C.Taylor, U.S. N., read a paper on the pro-gress of the work on the Nicaragua Canaland the important commercial results tofollow its construction. Captain Taylorsaid :The requirements of commerce makeit certain that there will be a transit forships between the Atlantic and Pacificoceans. American engineers are now onthe ground resurveymg the routeand mak-ing a final location of the line of the canal.J. M.Miller, Manager of the Stoningtonsteamboat line, followed, and said :Theinternational commerce ol the WesternStates, seeking an exit through the.Missis-;?.;\u25a0!•;, w ready for the market of !-k>uthAmerica. The minerals, grain and lum-ber of the Pacific States and Territoriesawait new and shorter channels to theEastern market. What may be the devel-opment of the trade of Central America thefuture must show, but to-day sufficienttonnage exis's to yield .o the Isthmian Canal 12 per cent, on the capital of one hun-dred million dollars. Mr. Miller arguedthe superiority of the Nicaragua route, anddeclared that England and Germany standready to avail themselves of the opportu-nity, should it otier, to control the route.No action was taken upon the subject.

Postal telegraphy was taken up. Thur-berofNew York submitted answers to thequestions he had sent to Kenrick H. Mur-ray,Secretary of the London Chamber ofCommerce. Mr. Murray in substance saidthe purchase and operation of the tele-graphs by the British Governments weresuccessful as far as the service was con-cerned, but not linancially tothe pcotoffice.The quickne»s, certainty and secrecy of theservice was improved under the postotlicemanagement. The increase of employesin the postollice s<mre had been produc-tive of political benetit. The inducementsto get up new inventions in telegraphy wasnot so great under the Government systemas if the system was in private hands. Therecent reduction in tolls"have been of greatbenefit to the public, the number of mes-sages sent having increased 33 per cent.,but the revenue increased only 6 per cent.The almost universal popular sentiment isagainst a return to the private managementof the wires.

SWAMP LAND MATTERS.The Authority for Patenting Swamp and I

WintMNß, January 10th—The Secre-tary ofthe Intt-rior, in response to the Sen-ate resolution, to-day transmitted to theSenate a report, replying to the request forinformation under what authority theswamp and overflowed lands have hereto-fore been patented and listed to the «evera'States, etc.

In his answer the Secretary sives a state-ment of the number of acres of land in theseveral States covered by claims underthe Ac!9of Congress relating to swampand overflowed lands. In California the'amount claimed under the Acts relating

'to swamp and overflowed lands was 1

-I887,1*7 acres. la Oregon, 357,877. The Iamount of land approved in California iunder the swamp land grants is 1,740,101acres. In Oregon, 189,385 acres. The iamount of land patented under the Acts of \u25a0

September:!, 1850. and March li, IX6O, in!California, is 1,405.520 acres, aati inOre-gon, 31,311 acres. The Secretary says it was'

determined severs! years ago to test the ac- Icuracy of the selection of swamp landsmade by Slate ajze'its, and the Got-

'ernmeiit's examinations showed that,

'bin fjr this exaa>jnatsQto, large tractsof dry lands woali Lave teenjwitented under the old practice as

swamp land. By the Act of July, 1«X), itI was provided that in all cases where town-| ship surveys had or should thereafter be

made inCalifornia under authority of theUnited States, and plats thereof approved,the land 3 represented in such plats asswamp and overflowed lands, should havebeen certified to by the State and provisionmade for the confirmation of the lands.This Act, the Secretary says, confirmtd toCalifornia large tracts* of land that have-since been patented.

It is the first direct and effectiveblow at Randall's influence, and itis be-lieved that itwillhave an effect upon mat-ters in the House. It may tend to makeRandall more ready to act with the ma-jority of his party, to secure the passage ofa moderate tariil bill,and itmay also havean intluence upon his following in theHouse. Randall kept close at his desk allday aud refused to talk to any one.

THOSE BOND CASES.They Come Up Again in the Superior

Court—Points of Law.

Two more of the Sacramento city bondsuits were on trial in Judge Armstrong'sdepartment of the Superior Court yester-day. Judge John Hunt, Jr., of San Fran-cisco, presided by exchange with JudgeArmstrong, who was disqualified to sit inthese particular cases. While the partiesto the records were different, both caseswere practically the same— between holderof the bonds of the city on the one handand the city and its representatives on theother. In both cases A. 0. Freemanrepresented the plaintiffs, and A.P. Catlinthe defense. W. 0. Belcher had heretoforeappeared for Mr.Davis, but he was unableto be present, not having lecovered fromthe injuries recently received by an acci-dent, and Mr. Freeman represented himon the trial of the case, with the under-standing that Mr. Bilcher would join inthe preparation of the brief. The fastswere practically agreed upon in both cases,and they were resolved down to simply adetermination of questions of law.

The first case tried was that of George K.Bates vs. E. J. tiregory et al.

—the City

Trustees. The action was for a writ of*mandamus to compel the Trustees to issuenew bonds in place of several old oneswhich hnd been issued in 1854. An Act ofthe Legislature was passed in April2:2,1854, authorizing the city of Sacramento,as incorporated by the Act of March 20,1861, to issue certain bonds, falling due in1874, and bearing interest at the rate of 10per cent, per annum. Under this Act alarge number of bonds were issued. In1858 the governments of the city andcounty wore consolidated, and

IN THE CONSOLIDATION AITIt was provided that the old city bondscould be refunded and replaced with C percent, bonds. In the meantime the 1854bonds had become scattered, and as theConsolidation Act limited the time fortheir refunding and many were still out-standing, the Legislature of 1859 extendedthe lime for their presentation. Anotherextension Act was passed in 1861. InISG3 the law to consolidated the govern-ments of the city and county was repealed,and the present charter of the city of Sac-ramento was passed. In1864 another lawwas enacted, providing for the refundingof all of the bonds of the city

—then out-

standing. The plaintiff claims that hislSf>4 bonds should be refunded under thislaw of 1864. The defense claimed that theplaintiff, not bavins taken advantage ofthe Funding Act of 1858, allowed his bondsto pursue the course contemplated by theAct of 1854 ;and that they fell due in1874,and consequently outlawed in 1878. Theplaintiff contended that the provisions ofthe Acts of 1858 and 1804, that the cityshould not be sued upon bonds

ISSUED HY TIIKIR SANCTION,Exempted prior bonds from the operationof the statute of limitations. Mr.Catlinargued further that the present Board ofTrustees were in no .sense the successors tothe Mayor and Common Council of the cityof Sacramento created by the charter of1851, and that that" incorporationterminated with the consolidation of tht-city anjcounty governments In1858. inthis case no claim is made that the bondsshould be paid, but only that the Trusteesshall take them \\\> and replace them withnew bonds. Upon their face the bonds callfor $2,544, but the prayer of the petition isthnt the new bonds be issued for the face ofthe old bonds, together with the amount ofunpaid coupons toJanuary 1, 1859,

—aggre-

gating gome $2,800. The law of 1861 pro-vided for the issuance of bonds withcou-pons, dating from the beginning of 1850.Should thp pusition of the plaintiff be sus-tained by tiie Courts, the Trustees will beordered in this paticular case toissue abond for some $2>OU, carrying unpaid in-terest coupons from 1850. The case washeard and submitted on briefs to be tiled.

The next case was that of Samuel Davisagainst the City ofSacramento. This is anaction to recover interest on coupons ofcitybonds issued in 1858, which coupons aredetached from the bonds. The couponsfell due in IS7C, and have not been paid.Itis claimed in this case that under theAct authorizing the issuance of the bondsit was made the duty of the local govern-ment to levy a tax of$1 on the $100 for thegeneral fund, of which fifty-five per cent,was to be placed into the

boss unnra and interest rtwn.And that certain other revenues from thewater works, Court fines, etc., were to gointo the same fund; that, beginning withahout 1861, the tax lrvy was rarely made of$t for the general fund, but was at timesmade as low as 2f> cents ; that when theconpons were presented for payment theirpayment was refused because" of lack offunds ; that had the former city officerslevied the $1 tax, the money would havebeen provided for the payment of thecoupons, and that by reason of this neglecton the part of the "municipal officers theplaintiff has been kept out of his couponmoney; therefore he sues for interest onhis interest coupons. The face value of th°coupons is about $34,0W, and the interestasked for on that amount is some $JO,UOO.Mr. Catlin claimed that the action wasbarred by limitation;that there could bep.osuch thing as a suit for interest on in-terest ;that a cause of action conld not besplit up; and that ifinterest should be paidto the plaintiff on these coupon?, and thecoupons not taken up, he could transferthem to some other party, who

COII.D AGAIN COLLECT IXTEEKT

On them. He also made the point that un-der the Actproviding for tbe issuance ofthe bonds from which the coupons hadbeen clipped, the city could not be sued,and he cited decisions of the State SupremeCourt and the United States Circuit Courtin support of his position. The plaiatiife4aimed that, as tbe city officers had ne-glected to levy the tax directed by the- Actof 1858; and that the result had* been thenon-payment of the coupons, he was au-thorizeJ, notwi hstanding the decisions, tobring a direct action apainst the city. Inthis case- no evidence has been taken. Coun-sel for the plaintiff offered a tabulatedstatement showing, year by year, the as-sessed property valuation of tbe city, therate of taxation, the income from thewater work?, Court fines, c!cv,with a viewof showing that had the full percentagebeen levied and collected and the 65 percent, of the gross, insteau of the net, re-;cdpta of the water works, etc .been turned:into the interest and biuking fund, thecoo-|pons in question \\cn\d have been paid at:maturity.

W.Shanklin, formerly Surveyor-General ofCalifornia, is in El Faso, whence he willgoto Washington on business connected witha big irrigation project in southern LowerCalifornia. He says he has just completedsurveys of an immense irrigating canal,which leaves the Colorado river a short dis-tance below Yuma, on the west side of, theriver, crosses the Mexican boundary lineinto Lower California, tbence back "northinto the great Colorado Desert, a large por-tion of which S at no great elevation abovethe sea level, and is in fact, in some parts,below it. There would be unlimited possi-bilities of reclaiming this princely do-main, heretofore looked on as themost hopeless desert surface in thewo.-ld. There is no lack of waterin the lower Colorado river. No amounttaken out of it could work an injury tothose sections where settlers are alreadyliving and have vested riparian rights.By diverting a large body of water in theColorado dtsert, it is thought, besides re-claiming all the irrigable lands lying abovethe sea level, a series of large" ponds orlakes could be formed, which might induoprocess of time exert an appreciable in-fluence upon the climate of that section oftie country, at present not only the driestbut the hottest on the face of theglobe, anilhavim; a higher average temperature thanthat little known but greatly misunder-stood desert of Sahara.
