The gold reserve haß surprised the country by rising, like the mercury, in ths warm weather. It haa increased throo millions since the last report. Tun conviction ol Cashier Flood of atealing $104,000 from the Donohne- Kelly bank will bear good fruit. Monu mental thieving has been so seldom punished in this state that no one had euppoaed that a respectable thief could be punished. Flood will grace a cell at San Qneutin unless the supreme court comes to hiß relief. Notwithstanding the dreams of San Francisco newspapers, the capitalists of Colorado just now are busily engaged ; n investing their money in and devoting their energies to the building ot railwnvß designed to make 1.08 Ang. 'en one of tho great mining centers of the continent. This is the fact of tho mutter, and an ounce of fact ia worth a t> "md of theory. The Merchants' Exchange bank of San Bernardino closed its doors yester day. This institution has been presided over by Mr. H. L. Drew, and some of its olficera are supposed to havo boon deeply loaded np with real estate ac quired under the conditions of the boom which existed in 1886-87. Never theless there are strong men in the bank, and the opinion iB expressed that the suspension is but temporary. The Hbhai.d heartily hopes that thia is true. Iv its day this bank has fulfilled a bene ficial function, aud its president, Mr. H. L. Drew, has been a useful and enter prising citizen. Chaitncry M. Dkpkw Baye that the rates oi fare over the varioua railroads of tho country will be lowered. We are Elad to hear this, especially as it comes from Mr. Dapew. That gentleman re ceives a salary of $50,0f10 a year to at tend to the affairs of one of the biggest railways of tho country. What he saya ought to be law. The singular spectacle ia witnessed today in Chicago of a mate rial diminution in the clearing house transactions over this time last yoar. This, comparing small things with great, contrasts very unfavorably with Eos Augelea, whose clearing house re ports show the greatest ratio of gain of any place in tho United States —absolut- ely barriug none. Tnis ia an all too plain indication of whero the next great est movement of development will take place, r. Onr people may aa well get ready for it. It is not far off. It is a curious thing that almost the lirst failure that has heralded the many that have occurred during the past two months was that of Ohio's "Sweet Wil liam," McKinley. He went down through hiß side partner and next iriend. More fortunate than most people, a pub lic subscription made np his losaea. In the face of tbeir chief being hoist by his own business disorganizing petard, the McKinleyites have the aublime impu dence tn claim that it ia the announced intention of the Democrats to repeal the McKinley bill, inftead of tbe McKinley bill itself, that has created the great business disturbances of the country. Here is a confusion of logic with a ven geance! The effect is thus made to materialize before the cause, which is a very thorough way of putting the car bofore tbe horse. The sooner we havt that special session, and the sooner tha McKinley bill ia repealed, the better. CHURCHMEN AND THE CHINESE. There seems to be an impression Abroad tbat tbe California cbnrchea are in sympathy with tbe Six Companies in their opposition to tho enforcement of ths deary law. This impression doubt less arises from the fact that the Presby terian assembly, and the Methodist, Bap tist and other national conventions ndopted resolations denouncing the I Geary act without any protest being in- I terposed, as fa' as we have seen, from I the representatives from this coast. It 1 is indeed ptnnge that no voice was 1 railed in those bodies against the 1 passage of resolutions which are indisputably in conflict with tbe opinion of at least two thirds of the members of the churches of this coast. That there are some of the ministers ' who are in line with their peoole on this nhj'pct has been shown by their com munications to the press. Bat we be lieve these raiaisters are the exceptions, ' and in all cases they are old residents of ' the coast who have had practical expe- ' rionceof the moral and material injury the unrestricted immigration of the Chi- ' nese has inflicted upon this part of the country. Whilst the eastern preachers, who know nothing whatever about the ' practical effect of the Chinese presence, are bringing powerful 'nflnences to bear upon the administration to render the law inoperative and to procure its «repoal by the next congress, the church people of thia coast ought to do something to counteract the effect of the ill-advised and ignorant action of their eastern brethren. Let the new California preachers study the question 1 iv its moral aspect and bearings. They 1 would find a great deal of instructive ' matter to open their eyes if they would consult the people who conduct the Chinese missions here. The would learn that one of the most difficult prob lems which presents itself to the work ers is the fact that the women they try ■ to redeem from a life of prostitution are held as chatties, and bought and sold in open market. It is a most aston- | ishing thing to na that Chinese woman have been bought and sold ( on this coast for years, and yet that this monstrous crimo has not produced a moro profound indignation against J Chinamen than it has. A few days ago one of these unfortunate slave women j was murdered in this city. In the report of the examination of Quon Toy Ving for this crime appears the following: , "Tom Bin, the part owner of the J murdered woman, was then called, and Htatf.d the deceased heluugud iv Ulut Viy right of purchase." As far then as the j flhinnsn in this country are concerned, * the surrender at Appotomox court bouse meant nothing. Is it not possible tbat m>mo of the leading people in the Cali- fornia churches will open a campaign of education on the Chinese subject for tho benefit of their eastern brethren? AIR-LINE HUMBUG. Tho report that a syndicate of Denver capitalists project an air-line railroad to San Francisco has had the nsual effect in the latter city of being hailed with loud acclaim aa a proposition that will innure to its benefit without involving its citizens in contributing towards its coat. An air-line railroad, however, to San Francisco, is simply an impossibility. Such a railroad would present engineer ini: difficulties that could only be over come at a cost that would render the en terprise ridiculous aa a commercial proposition. Besides is uo reason why San Francisco should bo roached from Denver by a railroad bnilt on the Muscovite plan. It is related that when the czar wanted a railroad built from St. Peters burg to a point in hia southern provinces, he called for a map and drawing a straight line from his capital , to the objective point, told hia engineers to build the road on that line. San Francisco knows very well that the shortest line is often the longest as well as the dearest. The road to Salt Lake on the Central Pacific ia almost a Btraight line. It is, as the crow flies, KOO miles, in round numbers, between the bay and Salt Lake, yet it is five or six hundred milea further when the ele vations and curves and the increased cost of operation and maintaining enow oheds are translated into railroad miles. Nor is there any Toute that can be mapped out iv a direct line to San Fran cisco that can avoid tbe tremendous ele vations of the Sierra Nevada, which stands as a barrier between Central Cal ifornia and the Croat American basin. There is but one natural gateway into California from the American basin, and that ia through the depression that reachOß from Southern Utah to Lot An golas. It is a natural railroad route, and can now be driven over in i\ buggy without encountering any insnperable difficulties of grade whatever. Los An geles is aiBO within 800 miles of Salt Lake as the crow flies; but on account of the level character of the intervening country it is from five to six hundred railroad mileß nearer Salt Lake than San Francisco. Denver nor no other capitalists are go ing to throw mouey away by unneces sarily anrmonntitig costly grades, li they conclude to build a road to San Franciaco they will avail themßelves ol the beat and cheapest route. The ex periment of building roads into the cloudt will never be repeated, especially when to do so accomplishes nothing thai cannot be better accomplished by taking . advantage of nature's topography and LOS ANGELES HERALD, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1893. thus securing easy and cheap grades. If the Denver men build a road to San Francisco they will bnild it via Loa Angeles. This is decreed by a power from which no appeal can be taken. We said a few days since tbat the prosecution In the Lizzie Borden trial had developed nothing whatever that pointed to her as the author of tbe murders of which she is charged. The testimony for the prosecution is all in, and even features of it which the state relied upon to raise a suspicion against the accused were shown, in rebuttal, to be without foundation in truth. Thus, har sister Emma, deposed that Lizzie •nd her step-mother were on friendly terms, and had been so for three years ; and she also explained why she had burnt np the light dress. It had got paint on it several months before the tragedy, and Emma had urged her to "burn up the old thing." None of tbe testimony the police relied on ior a con viction held together. The police theory seems to have been built up on the fact that they had failed to find any other murderer, and selected Lizzie be cause they thought she might have done the deed. As far as one can judge from all the testimony published, and from the failure of the state to bring out any evidence inculpating the ac cused, Lizzie Borden has been a victim of police ignorance and worked-up pre judice. She is to be commiserated. It has long been known that deposits of silver, copper and load have existed on SantaCatalina Island, and the alleged discovery of a valuable lode of silver and lead there is not an improbable event. Twenty years ago Don Juan Fos ter and the Hon. Frank Ganahl went to England to sell the island, which was then supposed to be very rich in min erals, but failed for eom9 reason. There was not nt that time in (treat Britain the wild impulse to rush into syndicates that prevailed a decade later. Whether or no the island shall prove to be a treas ure storehouse, the Banning Brothers are making it one of the mist attractive resorts on the American continent. They have done huge things at Avalon, and the charms of the place are unique •nd varied. There ia every indication that it will be greatly thronged the com ing season. The facilities for reaching it have been greatly improved, and it will be almost as accessiblo as Santa Monica. It is perhaps just na well that the Princess Ealalia and the Duke of Vera gna and party have ceased to be the guests of the nation, and that our snobs will be allowed to recover from the obse quious transports that have inflamed them for some time past. There is every reason to believe that all these distin guished people were greatly pleased by their reception in thia country, and they were probably impressed, in the west at least, with the hearty hospitality and unafTectednesa of the people of the great republic. From their experiences in New York city they doubtless derived the impression that many Americans are thirsting for royalty, nnd would 1 gladly take some pampered ecion oi a European kingly race to rule over them. Of course there is but a thin scum of these kind of wretches even in New York city, but, like certain animals, they have a fashion of making their presence very offensive. , Tiik meeting under the auspices of the Federated Trades at TurvereipJ hall last night was a success from every point of view. The attendance was respecta ble, the speeches were spirited, and a series of resolutions were adopted that will leave the people of the east in no doubt whataoever of the feelings of the inhabitants of this coast as to the advisa bility of enforcing the Geary act. It is the first of a series of representations that can not fail to have their effect upon the authorities at Washington and upon congress when it shall assemble in special session. The Federated Trades can make themselves powerful mediums for creating a wholesome public senti ment at the east and in confirming con gress in its distinctively American atti tude. Such meetings onght to be held all over the Pacific eoaet, and in every place in the United States where the Federated Trades have an organization. The election of Max Popper, the effi cient head of the Democratic state cen tral committee, to the chairmanship of the Democratic county committee of San FrancißCO, is a good augury for har mony and success in the Bay city. Max is an organizer from base. Ho combines in a remarkable degree the *)ian'ter in moJo with the fnrtiter in re; or, to drop the grandiose Latin phrase, he is both smooth and forceful. No one better than he knows how to do tho right thing iv the right place and time and manner. It is only fair to concede him a large part of the credit accruing from the electoral triumph iv this state in the last presi dential election. As chairman of the Democratic state central committee aad of the county Dsmocracy as well, his opportunities for usefulness to the party will be doubled. If the Kaiser has boen calculating upon a triumph at the polls lie has doubtless by this time dismissed that illusion. The opponents of his pet army bill turn up about as numerous as before 'the dissolution of the reiclißtag. It would contribute very much to the comfort of this imperi ous young gentleman, if he would settle down contentedly into the role of a eon -1 Btitutional monarch. He would enjoy ' life better, even if things were not quite so sensational. The Sabbatarians bwe been worsted I on appeal to the supreme court in the 1 Sunday world's fair closing. Chief Jus- I tice Fuller handed down the decision - yesterday reversing the opinion of the s United States circuit court, and declar f ing that the exhibition is entirely under I tbe jurisdiction of the Criicago comm.s- I I sionora, who can open it or shut it on 1 j Sundays, as to them may seem best. SABBATARIANS IN THE SOUP. They Can Not Keep the World's Fair Closed. The Sunday Opener* Rare Won Their Fight at Last. Chief Justice Fuller Overrule* tbe De cision or the Circuit Court—Tho Controversy Finally Settled. By the Associated Pra«i 1 Chicago, June 17.—Chief Juat'ce Fuller this momim overruled the de cision of the federal circuit court, which issued an injunction restraining the di rectors of tbe world's fair from opening the g»tes Sundays. Hi decides for the United States court oi. appeals and re mands it to the circuit court for a re versal of its action. Tbe courtroom was crowded. The utmost interest at ths outset first gave place to the utmost satisfaction at the close. The decision settles the matter finally, as an appeal to the supreme court, which does not meet till October, when the fair will be closed, will not avail. The opinion rendered covers only the material points, owing to the lack of time; the full decision will be rendered later. The opinion began by overruling tho motion by the government counsel to dismiss tho appeal from the circuit court, on the ground of noD-jurisdiction of the appellate as untennabie. It was also held that a gift from tha United Statea to the fair was in no sense a charity trust; that when the grunt waa made in consideration of the local cor poration having expended upwards of $16,000,000 towards a public enterprise, it was not done for the purpose of ob taining control in whole or part. The restraining nrder of the circuit court preventing the opening of the gates on Sundays was unjust and therefore set aside and the case remanded. Justices Burr and Alien concured in the decision, making the court's motion unanimous. The court further made a point against action by injunction, that it was not shown how any interest which the gov ernment might have in the fair would be irreparably damaged by opening the fair Sundays. EVERY MEANS EXHAUSTED. Attorney-General Olnay Admits That the Jig Is Up. Washington, June 17.—The opinion of the court of appeals in deciding that the World Columbian exposition at Chi cago shall be opened Sunday, was re ceived here by a press bulletin early in the afternoon. Attorney-General Olney said his department had a clear record in the case and exhausted every legal means to enforce the mandate of con gress in the matter. It is generally acknowledged, said be, that the act of congreas is touched in language suffi ciently dubious to make ita in tent doubtful. It seemed to him that the end was now reached, though he waa not entirely sure, not having carefully examined the law bnt that an appeal should be taken to tbe supreme court of the United States. — , — ■ - -1 J . 4 V .... - J.uuQ as the court did not meet till October and before the case could be heard the fair would be closed by limitation. While he saw no means in sight, per haps those who had been more inti mately associated with the case than he could yet discover some other means of closing the fair on Sunday. Matters of a complicated character, he said, would undoubtedly grow out of the decision. It was certain to his mind that the gov ernment conld not now give to the world's fair authorities the $000,000 still retained in the treasury but which had been appropriated upon certain conditiona. Doubtless he would be confronted with a propoaition to take atepa to recover the $1,900,000 already paid out. He could not say what course he would pursue. Perhaps the gate money could be impounded to reimburse the government, still he was not entirely clear aa to this, and wonld have to consider the matter more in de tail. Another question affected by the decision waa the government exhibits. It was entirely clear that the govern ment exhibits, could not he open on Sun day, hut the conditiona imposed might prevent the government exhibits from being oprin on any day. He hardly thought, however, the law would bear I this construction. THE VIKING SHIP. Arrival or 'the Model or the Old Norse Craft at New York. New York, .Tune 17.—Those hardy Norsemen, Captain Anderson and crew, sailed into the port of New York today with the counterpart of a Viking ship of old, and were given a reception far dif ferent from that their ancestors received 490 years before Columbus landed on the shores of the new world. The Viking came down from New London, Cc, in tow. She waa mat by a steam barge with a committee of reception on board. There was a zreat blowing of whistles and dipping of flags, and the band played the Viking march. When the Viking passed Uncle Sam'a crack mon itor Miontonomah, the boom of the big guns had hardly ceased before a sound like a big firecracker came acrosa the water ; the Norseman was answering the salute from six little cannons. The Yikins: dropped anchor alongside the Miantonomah. Captain Sicard, of the Miantonomah, paid an official visit. Then the; crew were taken on baard the Laura M. Starin, where tbey were welcomed to America by the committee and many of their own countrymen who live here. After an elaborate luncheon was served, Prof. Boyesen delivered an address of welcome, to which Captain Anderson responded in behalf of the Norwegian citizens who had the reproduction of the old Viking ship built. Joseph H. The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. —No Ammonia; No Alum. Us.cd in Millions of Homes —40 Years the Standard. Choate spoke briefly, as did Seth Low, Captain Sicard and ex-Commodore Rain. A procession was then formed to take the ship to Nuw York. The boats paired through Hell Gate, went down the East river, cheered by thousands of fieopi) on both banks, under the Brook yn bridge and rounding the battery, passed up the Hudson to Twenty-third E'teet. Here the Viking cast off the towing line, and putting out ber 32 oars, rowed to Thirty-lourth street, where she dropped anchor. NOT COMING WKST. Senator Hlll'a Modesty Forblda Him to Travel. New York, lune 17.—A close friend of Senator David B. Hill told a World reporter that the senator had abandoned bia intention to go west as chairman of the sab-committee on immigration to inquire into the evasion of the law by the Chinese Six Companies, also as a member of the committee on territories to inquire into the advisa bility of admitting Ne#v Mexico, Arizona aid Utah to statehood, explaining tbe B 'nator's reasons for not going, he said: "The senator received letters and tele grams from all over the weßt begging htm to name dates when he wonld he a gnest at dinners, receptions and other demonstrations in his honor. Theße have been so numerous that he con cluded that hie acceptance weuld savor of 'swinging 'round the circle.' People would Bay he was hunting for the presi dential nomination, and proposed to Bhow himself off. Rather than place himßelf in tbat attitude, the senator de cided not to go," AN IMPORTANT DECISION. It May Oh an |m the Indian Policy of tha Government. Washington, June 17.—Information has just been received at the war de partment of the decision by the United States district court at Seattle in the case of Contractor Ross who was con structing a railroad across the Puyallup reservation. If sustained, the decision wili have an important bearing upon the Indian policy of the government, and threatens to invalidate the allot ment system. The military authorities sought to prevent the construction of the road, but the contractor secured the consent of the Indians by hiring them as laborers, and finally applied to the court for an injunction to prevent military interference with the work. The decision sustains the injunctions, pending suit, and declares the govern ment lost entirely its power to control the use of lands allotted to Indiana. The matter has been referred to the attorney general and it is probable that an appeal will at once be taken. A MID-SCMMKB BK»SIOJf. Renewal of a Komor and Ita Prompt Denial.

Washington, June 17. —The renewal of the baseless rumor that was several times previously put in circulation that the president intends to call a mid summer session of congress, meets flat contradiction in every well-informed quarter here.

Car-on, Nev., June 17.—1n the case of Mrs. H. M. Johnson, who sued the Southern Pacific railroad company for $25,000 damages for the death of her husband, an engineer, who was jolted off a defective engine and killed in Au gust, 1892, the jury after being out about two hours brought inVa verdict for the full amount. The case consumed over a week in the circuit court. The de fendant requested a stay of proceedings of 30 days, which was allowed. The Heath Trial. Fresno, June 17.—1n the trial of Heath, today, Mre. McWhirter, widow of L. D. McWhirter, was again placed on the stand. After n few questions the attorneys began argument on the admis sion of certain testimony, and the jury, in charge of a deputy sheriff, were sent to San Joaquin to spend Sunday. At guments closed at 1 p. m,, and the court adjourned till Monday. The case ia growing in interest, and the attendance ia large. The New York Accepted.

WONG DIP KEN. HI MUST PASS HIS DAYS IN TITS No Steps as Yet Taken for Habeas Corpus Proceedings— A Number of Arrests Likely to Be Made Soon. No steps were taken yesterday to wards invoking the power of the habeas corpus writ in the caao of Wong Dip Ken, ordered* to be deported by United States Commissioner Van Dyke Friday afternoon. It was thought that aurely some steps would be taken yesterday in this direction, and the government offi cials were looking all day for the China men and their counsel to put in an ap pearance. Just why they did not do so is not known, for they were ready to make the move at any time. Their attorney, Mr. Frank Thomas, had the papers all ready to be taken at once to the United States court, bat there seemed to be some dis agreement or disinclination to act upon the part of the wily old Chinaman who came down from San Francisco to watch these cases. It was intimated, although no definite information could be obtained on the matter, that the Chinese propose to let Dip Ken be taken to San Francisco on hia way to be deported before habeas corpus proceedings are instituted. It is aaid that they will stand more chance to defeat the carrying out of the judgment in San Franciaco than they will in Loa Angeles. In connection with Dip Ken'a sen tence it was learned yesterday that he will probably be required to serve out the two days' imprisonment at bard labor in some state penitentiary before being deported, and that when he is taken north it will be either to Folsom or San Quentin for two daya. The prisoners are not worked at the county jail, the chain gang having been done away with for some time. It was also learned that the United States marshal will proceed to make additional arrests of Chinamen this week, embracing Chinamen from differ ent classes of laborers, and especial at tention will be paid to the highbinders. It ia probable, if the present intentions are carried out, that aa many as 40 or 50 arrests of spotted Chinaman will be made during the week. AN INSURANCE CASE. The Double-Action Verdict Given by the J nry. The case of Clark vb. Tbe London and Lancashire Insurance company met with a singular fate yesterday morning in Judge Shaw's court. The plaintiff sued for insurance money upon his building and stock, which the companies refused to settle. The case was tried before a jury, and several interrogations were submitted to them. The jury returned a verdict Friday night in favor of the plaintiff, as sessing his judgment, at $1227.27. But upon the special interrogatories their answers were just the reverse of the verdict, as they found that the plaintiff had not carried out his contract with the defendants.
