CONSUL BEE Colonel Bee, representing the Chinese < rovernment in a consalar capai iiy at San Francisco, is very mad. Endeed, the Colonel la mad all the way through. llb declares that unless the Chinese are left alone, and protected in their endeavor to lillild Op and maintain nuisances ill the midst of every California community, within five yean diplomatic relations Ihj tirecn the Imperial Government of China and the I'nited Btatea of America will oeaae — there, now! Well! what of it? As! we view it, it were better for both China and tin.- doited States if that should come about, if unrestricted Chinese immigration into America must !>• the price of contin ued commercial and diplomatic relations between the two. What does the trade with China amount to, compared to the inestimable boon of our civilization to mankind '.' As tin- San Francisco Vail well observes: "The country at large would re gard the intelligence of a suspension of re tations between the United States and China with considerable complacei China i- not at ail necessary t.> the pros perity of the United States. Thecommene between the countries U all in favor of ( Ihina. We bny • hina's products and pay t'T them large* in coin, china boys comparatively little of the United States." \ gentleman, whose residence in China and this country gave him the best • f opportunities to make tin 1 estimate, figures out thai since 1849 not les< than 1515,000,000 have been shipped away by Chinese from California to China. That is to say. then' has been drawn from the industrial capabilities of this State that v.i-t -am, which, had it been the product t>f whac labor, would have remained, at least, in the United States, in the main. and have contributed to the building of homes, in which the strength of the nation alone resides. To this vast sum must be added some 150,000,000 for consumed products of China used by the Chinese fbc sustenance, and brought here by and for them, thai cuts no truthful figure in our cotunitr.v, anil has added nothing what vver to our material wealth or strength. We cannot countenance any violenc-e. against the Chinese whatever. We will n a approve, even by silence, any mo!> law. All appeals to force are brutaJ and vicious. Not can Americans calmly view the efforts of obi or bmi classes of foreigners, them sebres graciously privileged to avail of the !>rn«-:its of free institutions, to Call into play mob f 0r ,.,. against the Chinese. Hut when this is sai.l, it remains that the ixnumunities ex]x?llin»; the Chi nese have claim to some sympathy, since it i- dearly a strucule bslmou civilisation*. a contest lolicies that will give this c.na.,l many homes ar.d a I)ro>|>eruus and sufficient |>oi>ulntion, and those which will make large irindlioliiings the certainty for our future, with few Ji Hi!-. -. a servile i lass i .' Mnagnlmn labor ers, and a degraded, naambilioßS and igno r.tnt lot of white toiten, ami thoae few in •r. Mr. Bee earns the miserable pittance he receives for his -ervices, but he ices the civilization of which he is a product, and smite;, the citizenship that give him his position among Americans traen lie dra^s it in the mud of the en deavor to force. uj>on this i>eoi>le a dxvs that has no part, !<>t oi (ysapatby with them, and before which they must give gray, if its right to ooaaa continues. Treaty obligations not modified by law must be maintained and the Chinese protected from assault, but it is not needed that a representative of China should threaten Americans with commercial punishment to accomplish these ends. GAINING FRIENDS. The Chicago Current, which recently pronounced emphatically against unre stricted Chinese immigration, because :t believes it tends to lower tlie standard of our civilization, still continues the friend of the Pacific slojie. In its most recent i.-viue it refers to the net that the Chrittian fjiteUir/eiicer, Reformed Presbyterian, al though printed in New York city, is not blinded to the difficulties of the problem presented by Chinese cheap labor. The Current adds: " This able religious jour nal, surrounded by tiie deceptive ethics of i;~ region, is entitled to the highest praise for being able to see that something had to be done concerning the Chinese, and that the question i.-. by no means at rest." Alter referring to November Ist being fixed by several Pacific communities for expulsion of the Chinese, our contempo rary say.-.: ''That the employers in the Fa* West are taking dangerous chances is shown by the steady accessions of heathen workers along the Union Pacific. Infece of a stringently-worded United States law, the Chinese pour in upon the American people. Does not that place the Gover nment in an unenviable position? [tdoes. The working classes will again set upon the Chinese, and it cannot be possible that they will forever overlook the chief mi.— chief-nvikers-.— those employers who for a few dollars would sell their fellow white men into .! Chinaman's condition of lite." Tim: newest thing out is the affectation of styling the dining-room a " refectory." In tiii- struggle for something more 'Styl ish" than the good old sensible and mean ing compound word, the fashionable world goes ifrong again. Kefei tory properly im plies a room where a moderate repast is served, but not a dinner. And originally and truly to tlii^ date it means :i place for taking a light repast in a convent or mon astery. But if the new application of the word N to obtain, let the fashionables go a step further in transforming the old into tiie new. Instead of -to dine' let them substitute "refect," obsolete though it is. [thasai least with its age the quality of fitness. Refectory will scarcely become common, even among the ultra-fashion a!ile, tor the world will not be reconciled to the elimination of the sensible, expres sive .'Hid simple terms now Used to desig nate tiie rooms where dinner is served, or supper or breakfast taken. In each case the prefixed word indicating the purpose of the apartment is always the best desig nation. So far as the substitution of re fectory for Lunch-room is concerned, there will be interposed no objection, (or this latter is a designation that ..ina.k- too much in this day of the public >tal!s and saloons where " luncheon" is served aa an attachment to a " drink." Governor Robinson, of Massachi tts has set n good example. He refused to I ! idge himself to any given line of action upon a measure to be brought before the Legislature that must have bis approval to become a law. The proposed bill is one to exem] t soldiers from the operations of the Massachusetts civil service law. Replying to the question it' he would sign such a bill if passed, this courageous Exe cutive said : B KUlzing tin- relations which are estab tlshed dj the ( onstitulion between thelegiala tive branches of oar Government, and which hare been sedulously observed to ihi, .lav, i should regard it as an impropriety, if not a dis courtesy, to pledge executive apprvi vi or disap proval of any specific bill prior to it> introduc tion into, or consideration by, the', oik:;.: Court, unil before the usual official commutiicatioii to it from the Executive Department. To an nounce in iidvauce thm I would sipjnor veto a measure, wtii<'h might lie laid before me by the Legislature, would be equivalent to a declnra tion tiint I would i!:)t perform my duty of eon dderingu ui«>n its merits at the time and in the manner proscribed by the Constitution. Here is a lesson that may well l>c studied by all Governors, and by al! candidate- for gubernatorial honors. Db Lebbefs asks the French Govern ment to permit him to run a lottery ui>on the bond redemption plan, in order to raise tiie sum of }120,000,000. This, he says, is needed to meet expenses of the construc tion of the Panama ship canal, in excess of estimates. The original estimate of cost was just that sum. So the mistake in calculation was double the amount the en gineers thought at first necessary to dig the ditch. If the latest report- regarding th" progress of the work and the condition of the workmen be true — and there is no strong reason to believe i' exaggerated— the amount now asked for will not be half enough. Shares in the scheme have stead ily declined in market value lor a year, a. id there is nothing in sight for the ex- , periment now, likely to tempt investors, even with all tiie allurements of the lot tery plan. It is a strange commentary upon the feeling regarding the Chinese question upon this wast that the first difficulty that occurred at Seattle after United Btatea troops were -j-m there to protect the Chi neee from assaolta — bat none of which had been made up to that time — grew out of a battery by one of the soldiers upon a Chi naman, which required the interference <•( a Knight of Labor in behalf of John. So it came about that the very men the troope were sent to overawe became the protectors of the Chinese against the force sent to shelter them from outrage. Tin: San Francisco Cbfl w;irns the people living along the ( o'umbia river ■>( the dan ger of BCqoieacence in the proposal to be gin hydraulic mining upon some of the chief tributaries of tli it stream. The wanting is timely. If in the United States anywhere mii.li a wyttem m has wrought almost irreparable injury to the Sacra mento river is tolerated, after the example that has been given in California of the disastrous effects of su<-h process, the suf ercrs will not be worthy of sympathy. Dcitnro the recent New York campaign i blixid was liot among newspaper men. ! For instance, the Albany Argus de clared that for lying, its contemporary, j the Jiwmcri) could beat the record.

San BiE.vwEXTrRA, November !l(h.— The parties who have been circulating a petition for the pardon of F. A. Sprague have arrived here, and report that in parts of the county when: land is held in large tracts men who sign for Sprague are boy cotted by the landowners. Many laborers have been turned oil' from work, and rent ers who have refused to sign against Sprague have been refused land for the coming year. This creates a bitter feeling among the small landowners and people generally. The last of the series of meet ings held here Saturday night in behalf of Sprague was addressed by ex-Senator Brooks. There was an ovation to the sneaker, which was large and enthusiastic. Much bitterness exists among the people. Another Train Ditched. Tort Costa, November 9th. — Another accident occurre 1 on the line between Oak land and Post Costa at 10 o'clock this morning. The Southern overland express wa - again unfortunate, and received con siderable damage. As the train was pull ing into San Pablo station a rail broke. The engine and tender passed over in safety, but the cars, with the execution of the steeper in the middle of the train, ran off the track and were ditched. They were turned across the track, run off to this side and that and presented a scene of confusion to the passengers, who scrambled from them. Nine cars were ditched, and most of them considerably damaged. No one was injured. A wrtckin.^ train was at once sent to the scene to clear the track. Woman Drowned— Ordinance Rejected. Stockton. November 9th. — Saturday night Mrs. George W. Hury. of Robert's Island, attempted to get a pail of water from the San Joaquin river, when she fell in and was drowned. To-night the City Council rejected the ordinance looking to the removal of Chi nese laundries from the city, because they believed it illegal on account of the ex emption of white laundries. The next meeting will probably adopt an ordinance for the removal of all laundries. AKIZONA. Another Vitriol-Throwing Cane. Tomhstonk. November 9th. — Inspired by the reports of the sensational vitriol throwing case in San Francisco, Annie Allen, a resident of this city, committed a like crime upon George Herryruan, a waiter in a restaurant.

Free Fruit SmrpijjG.— The Vacaville Jwli'-i in of November lith says : The fruit-growers of Vacaville do not take kindly to the proposition of forming corporations to handle their fruit. Jt is a common expro-sion that we should be ready to engage in any plan to secure the most favorable freight rates, hut no one is ready to engage in a business which will prevent his controlling the direction of his own shipment. As one big rancher ex pressed it : "If I undertake to ship a car load of fruit to Chicago I don't propose to tie myself up to a corporation which will send my tar to Santa Fe or Xew Orleans.' How to get a $.'ioo rate is the only problem troubling the orchardists of this section. THE SUICIDE IN PRISON. A •• Bad Man" Attempts to Kan Amuck, and Takes Hig Otm Life. The details of the occurrences connected with the suicide of the prisoner at the Fol som prison Sunday show that a more serious catastrophe was very narrowly es caped. It appears that for some time past prisoner John McManus had been insolent and defiant, threatening the lives of officers, and on one occasion had been discovered with a knife in his possession— a table- Imifri which had been sharpened to a point, and was evidently intended for a weapon t© be used in an assault. For these rea sons the prisoner was confined to his cell, and the officers were cautioned to guard against any attempt on their lives. Sunday morn ing, when the cell door was opened for the purpose of cleaning the cell, McManus rushed past the officer and the two "trusty" prisoners, and entered the inclosure where the barber was at work. Seizing two of the razors, he brandished the open blades above his head, and threatened to kill any body who should attempt to interfere with him. His fellow-prisoners urged him to give up the razors, but he continued his threats, against the prisoners as well as officers. In the mean time the armed guards had been sent for, and on their ar rival the other prisoners were locked up. McManus was called upon to surrender, but he refused, and made a rush at the officers until he saw the barrels of the weapons leveled at him, when he turned and ran toward the west corridor. One of the trusties had been sent upon the balcony with a lassc and as ifcManus ran the noose was thrown around his right wrist and in stantly tightened, but before he could be disarmed he gashed his throat with the razor in his left hand, and died in a few minutes. As he sank from loss of blood, be expressed satisfaction that he had not hurt any of his fellow-prisoners or Hit officers. McMaiius was a powerful man, weighing -WJ pounds, and standing six feet and half an inch in bight lie hail threatened to knock ill.' Captain in the head with a ham mer, and had also threatened to kill the foreman of the quarry. Then- is no doubt that lie intended to assault one of the otli cers with the sharpened knife, and was willing to do anything to get up the repu tation of being a "baa man." The phy sician had recommended great caution, as the manner of the prisoner indicated :; tendency to Commit suicide. In the assault for which he was sentenced he bad stabbed his victim twelve times. Coroner chirk wxs notified, and directed Justice Sturges to hold an inquest The jury returned a verdict of suicide while laboring under temporary aberration of mind. A Cyclone. People win' came to this city yesterday by the Sacramento and Placerville train reported a cyclone as having occurred at the ranch of J. K. Butler, on the Placer road, near White Bock, on Saturday after- Doon, doing considerable damage to that gentleman's property, and more or less to that of his neighbors. Mr. Butler is apt to Betdtsi ranged after awhile, as behaslosl !i!- crops for two year.-, in BUCOeSSion by the visitation of grasshoppers, and now he has lost a portion of his shelter by a new kind Of peat, imported from the other side of the mountains. It is to be hoped that the cy clone will not "take root "in this State. The following letter from C. M. Chapman, oi White Rock, to the Rxcosd-Ukiox, gives an account of what happened: " i In Saturday last, at the residence of J. K. Butler, one mile from White Rock, there came near being a serious and fatal catas trophe. It had rained all day until the middle of the afternoon, when apparently it began to clear off. About half-past 3 a heavy bUii k . loud appeared in the south east, which had the appearance of a huge funnel. It kept lowering until it struck the ground about two miles from Butler's h >u-r. Mr. Butler was at White Rock for a load of freight, and his feelings can bet ter i" imagined than expressed as he saw this monster make straight for his house. It first struck the chicken-house, which went up like a balloon ; then the picket fence; next struck one comer of the house, tearing the roof from the kitchen, pantry and one bedroom ; then across the road, through the center of two large barns, which were entirely demolished— one being a uew one, containing two wagons and a buggy. The large freight wagon was entirely demolished; spokes and axles wire broken, as though they were glass. The covered spring wagon was carried quite a distance out in the field, and was badly wrecked : the buggy will need a new wheel and bed, Such was the force of the wind that a fence-board was driven through the main house, near the roof, overhalfitsleng'.ii. The storm was en tirely wind; not a drop of rain fell with it. It was a sight never to be forgotti v. Large timbers, boards, tiers and pieces of roof were carried to a fearful bight and scat tered for half a mile. A strange freak of the wind was that it opened the door on the opposite side of the house and threw in a lot ot buckets, cant and washdishes. then closed the door. The main part ot the storm was not over twenty feet in diameter, a short distance away being perfectly calm. Mr. Butler's loss will foot tip well in the hundreds of dollars. Had it been a few feet farther to the west, the house, with all the family, would have been swept away. The question is. Was this tornado looking for some Eastern visitor, or else where did the stranger come from ?" Abducted i>y a Bear. — The Mountain Knot publishes this story ; • While riding through the willows near the head of the west fork of Rock crook, Montana, one day recently, Hairy Morgan had an experience with a grizzly that will linger about the panels of h s memory dur ing life. He rode directly into the embrace of a she boar as large as a five year-old steer. l.ruin quietly knocked Harry oil his horse, and quickly throwing him on her back, she quietly trotted up the stream about a mile, and then, throwing him down in a washout, deliberately covered him over with brush and dirt. After care fully completing her work, madame Started after her family. Harry, nothing the worse for the incident, save a souse of oll'eiided personal dignity, got out of the brush pile and went down the creek with the speed of an express train. This same beast, a i lay or two before, caught a large cow belonging to Colonel Morse and killed her at one blow. Any one doubting cither of the above stories knows too little of this county to live in it with any safety. TBAPHira I'.kaks.— The Red Bluff Sentinel of November 3d prints this : Trapping bears is getting to be quite com mon in this county. E. Kstill set some traps on his ranch, three miles above Mr. I'eti John's place, on Cold Fork of Cotton •vuod. last Friday night, and, when he visited them on Saturday morning. found a little baby bear of the black species fast by one foot in one of the traps. ASsoon as Mr. Kstill went near the trap little Bruin bawled loudly and piteously. It seems r'sf of November 7th furnishes this : >fike McFadden, a laboring man. wliile tramping along with bis blankets on his back near Los Banns on Sunday last came to a strawstack on the ranch of an Italian and camped for the night, During the early morning hours the dogs on the farm discovered McFadden's whereabouts, and kept up such a continual barking that the Italian took his double-barrel shotgun and went out to the straw pile to discover what the canines bad bayed. On approaching the 3tack in the darkness he saw something black in the straw and blazed awayr The black object then turned over and he turned loose the other barrel. Mr. McFadden squealed, and the Italian exclaimed, "Why, I thoueht yon were a skunk." The man's legs were filled with bird shot. The Italian brought the wounded man to Merced, and he is now in the County Hospital. Dr. Olirien, who is attending him, says there are no bones broken, and that the patient will soon be all right. The CoLUrA. Railroad. — The following is extracted from theColusa Sen of Novem ber 7th : The irrade baa :>een completed, one-third of the ti-^s are here, the irrn has been shippe.l from San Fnmcisco. on the 10th the engine will be shipped from Philadel phia by rail, the passenger car is done, and were it not for delay in tho lumber for the bridges, track-laying would now be under full headway. I "RECORD-UNION" MELANGE. A gentleman yesterday, discussing the Chinese question, remarked: "All the money paid to the Chinese is like throwing it into the sea — you never see it again. Some people insist that tiie world I, not growing better, but when L-street courte sans take to hanging themselvi- because their vagabond lovers are im; rfsooed for crime, there is an improving' outlook at least. Fred. Penny, who stole ISO turkeys last Saturday from the Gibson ranch, did not intend to get left as to a Thanksgiving din ner. Denny thinks Judge Henry was a little over-anxious for his welfare, however when he sent him to jail yesterday for 300 days, to prevent him from contracting tur key dyspepsia. The office of special police or night watchman, has been popularly described as ''to keep Chinamen from stealing white folks' chickens." The case has been re versed over in Woodland, where a private night-watchman has been sent to the county jail for a term of ninety days for stealing a turkey from a Chinaman." The Celestials are now maturing plans to keep their poultry from being stolen by Melican men. The meeting of the General Convention of Fruit-* i rowers of California, tube held at San Francisco, commencing this after noon, is one of the most important gather ings that have assembled in the State for years. If at the meeting an association shall be formed, or a plan adopted, which shall result in securing a market lor all our fruit?, as is confidently believed to he possible, the convention will have accom plished a work which will soon add mill ions to the taxable wealth of the state. It will bring in a tide of prosperity that has hardly been dreamed of. even in the ex uberant forecasts of the " Western Empire" often indulged in. Must of the leading fruit-growers of the State will be present, and it is to be earnestly hoped that all diversity of opinions will bend to the one purpose — a plan to give ail classes of fruit growers equal advantages in the market, an-! ample market i^r all. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court met In this city yes terday at 2p. x. Several cases were called ami continuations granted, .lames M. Al len, on beball ol San Uateo county, ap plied i'i>r an alternatiTe writ of mandate against I. .'. Oullahan, State Treasurer. John P. Dunn. State Controller, and Ed ward ('. Marshall, Attorney-General, as re spondents. It alleges that on February 23, 1884, an action was commenced in the Su perior Court of the city and county of San Francisco by the People of the State against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, to recover the taxes due the state and the counties of Fresno, Kern. Los Angeles, Monterey, San Benito, -San Bernardino, San Diego, Son Francisco, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Tulare and San Mateo, for the State and county taxes for the fiscal years 1883 H4. It sets out the removal of the suit to the United .Stales ( lircuit Court, the stimula tion entered into by the company defend ant, the order entered thereupon, the Sub sequent judgment and the payment to the Attorney-General by the railroad company of $125,806 31, of which $2,502 45 was the proportion of county taxes belonging to the county of San Mateo. The petition alleges that Attorney-Gen era! Marshall ha? offered to pay the amount so received to the Controller, but before making a tender demanded the certificate required by Sections 4."i:>. 434 and (33 of the Political Code, but that the Controller refused to give such eertilicate. It contains similar allegations as to a suit commenced against the same defendant on February 26, 1885, for the State and comity taxes for the same counties for the fiscal year 1884-85, theamoum received by the Attorney-Gen eral in this eiise being 35124,720 M. and the county proportion i- '.'"'■ 73. As reasons. for applying for the writ, it alleges that the Board of Supervisors of the county, in levying the taxes for the fiscal year LBBS-8C took into consideration these sums of $2,592 i~> and $2,496 7::. and therefore levied a smaller amount than it otherwise would have levied, and that without said sums it would not have enough money for county purposes for the fiscal year; that the ' Attorney-General has under his control over $661,000 received tinder similar circumstances from ether railroad companies ; that as the attorney of the people of the State ol California,* he has about $1,1 in all "which ought to be paid into the State Treasury and the treasuries of different and many counties of the State, and that the payment of the same into and the reception of the same by the State Treasury and Baid county treas uries depend upon the Bnal settlement by this honorable Court by its decision of the principles involved in this matter and pro ceeding, which petitioner therefore alleges to be iii great public concern and great public importance in respect to the duty of certain public officers, tp wit, the State Treasurer and County Treasurers and the State Controller. That a judgment of a Superior Court would not be final or au thoritative, and tli it the past conduct of said Controller and State Treasurer indicate that an appeal would be taken by them from any such judgment, and thereby de lay tile disposition of all said money a year or longer." The petitioner therefore prays that an alternative writ oi mandate issue to the respondents directing them to show cause, at a time and place to be designated by the Court, why the said sums, and each of them, should not be paid by the Attorney- General int.) the Staie treasury, why the Controller should not issue a certificate fur each of such sums and why tin- State Treasurer should not receive them into the State treasury. The writ was ordered to Issue returnable at San Francisco mi Monday next. Judge J. JT. McKune, as counsel for John Booney, applied for a similar writ against Controller Dunn, Attorney-General Mar shall and Treasurer Oulfahan, directing that all the money said to !»• in the hands <■! the Attorney-General on account of railroad taxes be paid into the State treasury.
