SECRETARY proctor's FIERY STEEPS.
The wife and daughter of Secretary
Proctor went shopping today in a sleigh.
While the ladies were in a store the two
bones took fright and ran away, smash

CHEROKEE BOOMEBS CHECKMATED.
The war department has received no
information in regard to the reported
contemplated invasion of the Cherokee
strip. The department commander has !
standing instructions to keep the boom
ers out at al hazards, and the war de
partment officials have no doubt that
the soldiers will carry out their instruc

A NEW SILVER DOLLAR.
The Star says a new silver dollar will !
bi created by the Pan-American mone
tary conference, which meets here next
week. It will be a dollar circulated not
merely in the United States, but through
out all the republics of the new world.
In all probability it will resemble the
United States dollar, with a portrait of!
Columbus to take the place of the god- j
dess of liberty, on one side, the obverse j
side varying.
CHRISTMAS FOB POOB CHILDREN. 1
The Christmas club of Washington to
day entertained noo poor children at a j
dinner, and afterw ards'distributed pies
ents to each one. Mrs. Dimmiok re pre- ■
sen ted the president's family, and Miss
Jane Fuller,daughter of the chief justice, j
president of the children's department
of the club, and Miss Jessie Miller, I
daughter of the attorney general, vice
president, took a leading part in caring j
for the needs of the young guests. The i
East Washington club provided a good '
dinner and presents for about 1000 young |
people.
FORT BIDWELL TO HE 88-ESTABLIBUED.
Secretary Proctor is now considering !
the report of Captain Lee, who was re
cently sent from San Francisco to Fort
Bid well, California, to investigate the
truth of the reports that the abandon
ment of that post would be a dangerous
move, owing to the temper of the Piute
Indians settled around there. The re
port, states that although the rumors
are somewhat exaggerated, there is no
reason for disregarding the warnings. !
and recommends that the post be re-es- !
tablished. The secretary has reached
no decision, but it is probable that he
will order at least one company to be
stationed there in the spring.
the economic convention.
At today's session of the American
Economic association a number of pa
pers were read and the report of Secre
tary Ely discussed. It represented the
association as being in a prosperous con
dition, the numberof members and sub
scribers on the list being 035. Three I
national associations on the other side
of the world, the report said, had received
the impulse which gave them existence
from the American Economic associa
tion. The report suggested the wisdom
of continuing the policy of offering prizes
for essays, the object being to awaken
public interest on economic topics, and
lead to the formation of intelligent opin
ion upon the important matters of the
day.
CANADIAN CATTLE QUARANTINED.
The secretary of agriculture today
made an order to close all the ports ex
cept St. Albans, in the collection district
of Vermont, against the importation of
cattle, sheep and other ruminants and
swine, and requiring that all such ani
mals imported through this collection
district must enter at the port of St.
Albans, where they must be inspected
by a veterinary inspector of the depari
ment of agriculture. This is done as a
protection against the introduction into
this country from Canada of any con
tagious disease affecting these classes of
animals. Such inspection is provided
for by the act of August 30, 1890,
and in view of the fact that the
English veterinary authorities at Dundee
recently seized Canadian cattle, declar
ing them affected with contagions
pleuro-pneumonia, Secretary Rusk feels
it incumbent upon him to take all
measures necessary for its rigid enforce
ment Moreover, England has prohib
ited the importations into that country
ot sheep from the United States, on the
ground that the government has not
heretofore caused to lie made an inspec
tion or quarantine of stieep arriving
here from other parts of the world. The
stringent regulations of Secretary Rusk
are designed to insure protection of the
livestock of the United States from im
ported diseases, and to secure, if pos
sible, the removal of the prohibitory re
strictions now placed upon animals ex
ported from this country.
THE SILVER POOL INVESTIGATION.
A final conclusion with respect to rep
resentative Dockery's resolution, pro
viding for an investigation of the charges
that representatives and senators were
interested in a silver pool, will probably
be reached by the rules committee soon
alter the holidays are over. The com
mittee, when the subject was last con
sidered, discussed the advisability of
summoning a few witnesses to be inter
rogated under oath before reporting fur
ther to the house on the resolution.
It was thought that if regularly
subpu-naed, the correspondents of the
St. Louis Globe-Demotrat, in which
the charge of a legislative silver pool
was originally made, might be willing to
make some more tangible statements
than they had published, or had been
willing to volunteer to the committee.
Th« speaker is favorable to this course
as he has doubts of the propriety of in
THE COS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28, 1890
vestigating charges that do not make
specific and definite allegations
with somewhat of a cir
cumstantial detail, and thinks
the rules committee should have
more of a basis than a simple newspa
per publication npon which to order an
investigation. A decision to report
Dockery's resolution to the house, with
a favorable recommendation, had almost
been reached, when the shipping bill
and other matters came up, and delayed
final determination of what to do with
the resolution.
THK BELMONT THOROUGHBREDS.
No Sensational Trices Beached at Mm
Sale Yesterday.
Babylon, N. J., Dec. 27.—The sale of
crack race horses and pick of the year
; lings at the nursery stables of the late
August Belmont, brought a large crowd
of prominent turfmen here today. It
waa regarded as the most important sale
iof racing horses since the selling of the
'■ Rancoas stable in 1880, and all the prom- !
j inent turfmen had representatives pres- j
ent. Colonel S. D. Bruce was the auc- ;
; tioneer. Raceland, winner of the '89 '
suburban, was the first horse put up, \
' and waa sold to Michael E. Dwyer at
$7000. Prince Royal was knocked down
;at $5000 to Phil Dwyer. W. P.
Jennings got St. Carlo at $1600,
and FredEschner paid $3500 for Magrate.
! Then came the struggle for
[ 2-year-old son of St. Blaiz. Eschner
I started bidding at $15,000. It went
ahead by $500 and $1000 jumps and the
horse was finally sold to M. E. Dwyer
for $25,000. The comparative small
price realized for him was a great disap
, pointment and was due probably to the
fact he was not eligible for some of
thel richest three-year-old stakes of I
I next season. La Tosca proved a I
great favorite, and after spirited
bidding was sold to Hough Bros., at
$13,000. Eschner paid $6000 for Masher.
; There was lively bidding for St. Charles,
j who was secured by William Berry, for
j $4000. Flavia, a chestnut filly, went to
!F. McCabe, for $2800. The chestnut !
j filly, Beauty, was the last of the race-|
horses sold. Eschner taking her for '
! $2500. The yearlings brought the follow
ing prices: Alliance, chestnut colt,
i $1200; Bellimma, bay filly, $2800; Cap
tile, Day colt, $2400; Fidelio, bay
! colt, $1800; Ireot, - bay colt,

AMUSEMENTS.
The Juch Company Season a Great Suc
cess.
For the re-engagement of Emma Juch
j and company the box office at the Grand
| will be kept open all today for the ac
| commodation of patronß of the house.
Yesterday the company gave two per
| formances. The matinee attraction was
i Carmen,in which Carlotta Macondacar
ried off the first honors as Michaela. Her
: voice is as sweet and clear as that of a
bird. In form and voice she has under
j gone a great deal of development in the
! past year. There is more strength and
volume to her notes, more richness of
tone and accuracy of execution. Miss
Meislinger was dashing and effective as
Carmen, and Leo Stormont sang the
Toreodor song with great success. The
opera waa well staged and well sung.
At the evening performance Richard
• Wagner's great Lohengrin was produced
j with the following cast:
Henry I, King of Germany Franz Vetta
l.oht'iigrin, Knight of the Holy Grail
I Churles Hedinoncll
Elsa of Brilliant Emma Juch
Frederick, Telramund. v nol>le ot Brabant..
Otto Rathjens
The King's Herald E. N. Knight
Ortrud, wife Ol Telramund
Georgia* yon Junusehowskv
Duke Godfrey Eva Walton
The opera was gloriously staged and
costumed. Its barbaric splendors were*:
dazzling in the extreme.
The vocalization, aided by the most j
efficient services of thesuperb orchestra, |
was something the equal of which has
never been seen here, with one excep
tion. Vetta made a king who was
every inch royal. He sang with such
a charm that he carried all hearts
away with him. In the opening portion
of the first act those nut quite familiar
with his appearance would not believe |
it was he, bo well was he giving the high
notes of his role at that point. The
voice was like a baritone. When later
on he dropped to the lowest notes in his
part of the scale, these persons were un
deceived, but were greatly astonished to
hear a voice with so wide a range. It is
rarely indeed that a voice is found cap
able of doing justice to this role. Mr.
Hedmondt as Lohengrin, appeared to
great advantage. His dazzling costume
set off a fine stage presence,anil his voice
was flute-like in its sweetness and clear
ness. The music of this role exactly
suits his voice. It is much better in the
tenderer passages than in those calling
for a great strain. Mr. Rathjens ap
peared for the first time here as Tei
ramund. He has a very fine, round,
mellow voice of great strength and
sweetness.
Miss.luchas Elsa was indescribably
charming. It is really useless to try to
convey in words the excellence of her
rendition of the role. She fooked a
queen in all respects, and she sang like
a queen of song. Her voice could
be heard above all the din of the or
chestra and chorus when the massive
harmonies of the Wagner music called
upon every voice in the company and
every instrument in the band. Above
strings, brass and tympan, true, clear
and tender rang those beautiful notes, as
she flung them out to the remotest part
of the house, filling every inch of space
with music. Not a flaw is there in the
whole range of a wonderful register.
The house was packed into all its cor
ners with an audience notable for its
critical knowledgeOl music, and from all
parts of the crowd came storms of hearty
applause.
A THREE-HEADED OIRL.
The latest seneation at the Main-street
Mußee-theater is the famous three
headed girl enigma. It has been the
strongest drawing card in the eastern
museums, and will no doubt pack the
museum here also. Last night and yes
terday the attendance was enormous.
In fact, if the attendance grows much
larger the management will have to en
large the commodious resort again. The
museum proper also presents Master
Zolay, styled the boy Hercules, who
does some remarkably good light and
heavy balancing. Th/; theater pro
gramme is equally inviting, including a
funny farce entitled The Laundry, which
is well presented, and the specialists go
through a varied programme of good
quality.

San Francisco, Dec. 27.—Colonel G.
W. Grannis, executor of the estate of
Mrs. General George W. Culloin, de
ceased, has disposed of the residue of
the real estate in this city, belonging to
the deceased, and will shortly forward
the proceeds, amounting to $40,000, to
the New York cancer hospital. The
value of the estate in this city was origi
nally $.50,000, and $110,000 has already
been forwarded fur the maintenance of
the hospital, in accordance with the
wishes of the deceased, by whom it was
founded and whose death was th:> result
of cancer. The property here was ac
quired by General Henry W. Halleck, in
the early days, while secretary of Cali
fornia. After his death, in 1872, his
widow married General Culloin. Colonel
Grannis, as executor of the estate, has
had occaaion to examine into the meth
ods of treating cancer, and in this con
found in the discovery of a Sail Fran
cisco physician a genuine remedy for
the disease. The testimony of a num
ber of persons who have been treated
and cured has been taken, and three
pronounced cases of cancer from the
New York hospital are now on the way
to San Francisco, in charge of a promi
nent surgeon of New York, to be oper
ated upon and to decide whether the
treatment shall be introduced into the
New York hospital.

THK RAILROAD COMBINE.
Huntington and Stubbs to Represent the
S. P. on the Advisory Board.
San Francisco. Dee. 27. —At a meeting
of the board of directors of the Southern
Pacific company, to ratify the plan of
the new western railway combine, C. P.
Huntington and J. C. Stubbs were
chosen as representatives of the com
pany on the advisory board of the new
combination. Mr. Stubbs, in talking
about the proposed association, said: j
"I he association will represent a I
united effort to keep rates firm
and do away with discrimination
of all kinds. Both the strong and the ;
weak roads have got to live, and the
former must recognise the right of the i
latter to get a fair share of business, or j
we will never have peace. On the other !
hand, the weaker lines must recognize
the fact that they lose more than they
gain in the long run by persistent rate
cutting, and are far better off with ]
steady rates and a fair share of j
business. The combination will of
course be more or less of an ex
periment. No one can tell how
it will succeed, until the new board'
meets. When the new advisory board
holds its first meeting, it will form an
association that will prepare a set of
rules for the regulation of business in
the west of all roads. As to providing
for the abolishment of all the passenger
offices in this city, and creating in their
stead one joint office, I cannot say ; but
that will be done, as it is a matter of
economy and a means of maintaining
rates."
TOO BUSY TO SERVE.
A Murderer Called as a .Juror at the In

*Santa Rosa, Cal., Dec. 27.—News has
been received here of a tragedy at

seems, made several attempts to quar
rel with the men, but the crowd Anally
dispersed, Kolmer and Hatton starting
home together. Before they had pro
ceeded far. a shot was heard, and when !
questioned about it afterward, Hatton j
said he had shot at a bird'or something
he saw. Friday Koimer's body was j
found near where the shot had been j
fired. He had apparently been dead
two days. The authorities proceeded to j
summon a coroner's jury. Among the
men called upon to serve on the jury
was Hatton, but pleading he was too
busy, be was let off. Friday evening he
went to Gurneville, put no at a hotel,
and left Saturday morning before any
body was up. The community isgreatiy
agitated over the murder. Kolmer was
a quiet, steady man. and had many j
friends. Hatton had not been captured
at the last report.
