There ongbt to be a most rigid inves tigation touching the wrecking of the Newbern. It is entirely the most sin gular marine accident that ever occurred on this coast. The so-called Sells & Rentfrow circus, which pretended to perform in Los An geles yesterday, was a downright fraud. It came very nearly starting an old faehioned riot in the Angel City; and only the efficient efforts of tbe police force prevented the victimized people from wreaking their vengeance on a eet of fakirs. — Hereafter there ought to be more care iv providing facilities for tbe agri cultural and horticultural departments i of tbe fairs of tbe Sixth District Asso ciation. No liberal or intelligent man objects to a fine racing programme em bracing a week of sport. But there ought to be a equare deal, in which the ' farmer and orchardist will be on an even footing with the breeder and sport ing man. We are inclined to think that hereafter this will be attended to. Whether the two should be held in combination is a subject for grave de liberation. Considering the prominence of our citrus induatry they ought to be ■eparated. Thk races yesterday were well attend ed, although they involved no sensa tional features. Tbe attendance wua good, and the interest was unabated. An attractive programme will be pre sented today thut will unquestionably draw a large concourse to Agricultural park. Tomorrow will witnese the cul minating event of the season. McKin ney, Klamath and Ottinger w.U be driven for all that is out. Durfee's pet has a record of the beßt ever made on any course in California. Experienced horsemen believe that this record will be lo\v3red tomor row, and would not be surprised to see a acore of 2.10 made. The horses are sup posed to be pretty evenly matched, Mc- Kinney having a little the best of it. All Los Angeles sporting men will wish to ccc a phenomenal record made over tbe Agricultural park course, no matter which nag shall be declared the winner. There will be intense interest in this race, and the excitement cannot fail to be registered in a plethoric pool box. All the indications at tbis writing favor tbe idea that the long gestation over a compromise on the silver ques tion in the senate will have an auspic ious delivery at an early date. The terms of the expected compromise are particularized in our telegraphic col umns. According to tho Washington outgivings the Sherman bill is to be re pealed, but the repeal is not to take effect until the Ist day of July, 1895. Meanwhile, the provision of the act re quiring tha purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month is made mandatory— it was mandatory bsioru—and the only donbts are &b to the issuance of bondd, and as to whether President Cleve land will be satisfied with the compromise. It can be very safely as- Burned that if be is not the silver status will remain as it is. Senator Voorhees Indicates by his mannsr and utterances that a compromise is soon to be a fact accomplished. Tha Herald has never doubted that a compromise would be the ultimate iuae of the Btrufcgla, and ths matter will be left in a shape for intelli gent action on the part of the people. An important portion of the suggested compromise ia the coinage of the seig norageof tbegovernment in the treasury, which will increase the currency to the amount of $54,000,000, which will be a very grateful relief to a country which ti as about half of tbe money needed to carry on its business. A CURIOUS POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT. Tbe people of the United States are keeping a very careful eye on the debates in the United States senate. Instead of being enraged at the delays interposed by the invincible friends of silver in that body to the consummation of a great outrage, they are tilled with ad miration at the pluck, resources and in- i domitable courage of the real Democratic membership in the United States eenate. The people reflect with pride that while the boose of representatives, in much of its membership, can be either bought or cajoled, the United States senate obeys neither whip nor spur, and has regis tered itself as worthy the senate of Rome in its best days. In what way such recreant wretches as Marion Can non were paid for their apostacy to silver no one can know ; but that they received a quid pro quo as fully as did Judas in re tbe case of Pontius Pilate versus Jesus Christ no one can doubt. It is highly amusing to read the ravings of the hireling press of New York and the other eastern cities when it comes to the ssnate oi the United States exer cising its legitimate powers. The pic ture ia much like a pug dog barking itself hoarse at the feet of tbe ephynx. The passage between Senators Daniel and Mills was perhaps the moit inter esting feature of the debate of day be fore yesterday. The- senator from Vir ginia asked the senator from Texas if be wonld he willing to abide by tbe action of a caucus of tbe Democratic senators on the repeal of the purchasing clause of tho Sherman act. Instead of saying "certainly," as anybody would expect a man with Mills's record would say, he rehlly replied, in a surly and insulting manner, that he would not. lie added that there was an issue against a Demo cratic administration and that lie oro poßedlostay by the administration. Tbe only issue, if issue thero be in this question, is whether the Democratic party will allow Mr. Cleveland to lead them into tbe Republican ranks. No man ever entered upon a term of the presidency with a more unbroken loyalty on the part of his party than the pres ent occupant of the White House. It required a peculiar genius for misad venture to bring about the present state of things. It is useless, in view of th 9 acrimoniouß interchanges between such men as Daniel and Mills, and Hill and ' Morgan, all Democrats, to attempt to avoid the conclusion that the Democratic party is in danger of being split up the back. The attitude of Senator Hill is perhaps tbe most inexplicable of all. He assumes to be hostile to Cleveland and friendly to silver, while he is kotoo iug to tue president and stabbing silver under the fifth rib. Tha operation scarcely amounts to the dignity of "now you see it and now you don't." Tbe New York senator is accumulating enough enemies by his peculiar course to sink a ship in a dead calm. But why, if Mr. Mills calls himself a Democrat, when Mr. Daniel, a friend of silver, offers to go into a caucus of the Democratic senators, and to abide by the action of that body, does be decline to do bo? Tbe reason is very simple. He has cause to believe that the majority of the Democratic senators are in favor of free silver, as was their platform. Mr. Mills, during his long career as a Demo cratic politician, has been in fifty cau cuses. He fully recognizes the poten tial office of euch a body. He has time and again accepted ite outcome as the final judgment on all questions as to which his party was interested. Why, then, should he, at this late day, turn round and repudiate the methods which he has observed during his whole career ? The answer ie not far to seek. He does so because he is prepared to deliver over such Democrats as he can control, in cluding himself, to the Republican party, in order to please the imperious will of a man elected on a platform which said that there should be no dis crimination at the mints between gold aud silver. It is utterly impossible to evade this deduction. Mr. Roger Q. Mills will not go into a Democratic cau cus because be is no longer a Democrat. Tbat is tbe long aud tbe short, the law and the prophets, of the matter. he will not be obliged to go before hie constituents for quite a while. New issues and work meet for repentance may save him when tbe crucial time does arise. But for the members of tht houße of representatives who have imitated Mr. Mills in bia political tergi veraationt the experience will, in all probability, be a gloomy one. The Texas papers are printing the names oi the three Texas members of tha lowei house of congress who went bac's on silver in mourning lines. Heavy black borders encompass the names of these persons, and their chances of re-election are of the most abbreviated description They will be plunged into michinj malicho wben they reach the constitu ents that trusted them. Their political life may fairly be said to be ended. Things have come to a pretty past indeed when a distinguished Democratic senator, like Mr. Daniel, can appeal for a Democratic caucus in an isbue ol great moment, and he told tbat be canM have it, and that if it were assembled Democrats who have plumed themselves upon being the leaders of the party would not abide by its decision. Such a condition of thing 3 presages anything but good to the party of Jefferson and Jackson and to the country which they loved bo well and served so patriotically and unselfishly. Tue wreck of the Newbern near Point Firmin threatens to be one of the dens est mysteries that ever happened on this coast. There tue some things about LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20. 1893 : " e> —i ■ it that require to be explained. Why each an old and experienced captain aa I Yon Helms should be in snch close proximity to shore has not been ex , plained. His course called for his being i onteide of the Santa Catalina islands, ilt is said that mysterious signal i lights were flashed to some vessel i that was standing off of Point Dumc. The Newbern was seven days late. Up nntil 12 o'clock of the night of the wreck tbe sky waa clear and resplendent, the waters being as smooth as the Ohio lor Mississippi. Tbe fog in which the 1 Newbern was wrecked set in after 12 o'clock; and it is probable tbat the Newbern, having set in towards the shore in a clear light, tbe wreck really resulted from the fog. That bad not been counted upon. But after the ves sel had been fairly wrecked, and was pouuding amongst tbe rocks and kelp, with most of it under water, how did it happen to take fire, the crew being in tbe immediate neighborhood, and capa ble of extinguishing the flames? In this connection it should be borne in mind that there is a cove near this point inhabited by Italian fishermen, and that it has been famous for smug gling in tbe past. It is somewhat un fortunate tbat tbe collector of the port failed to take charge of the vessel. An inspection by him would have been in teresting, under tbe circumstances. "All's well tbat ends well." The people will await with great interest tbe consummation of a common sense pro gromme on the silver question, which will establish the fact that the senate of the United States is a most useful body, i .Meanwhile the European syndicate, tbat I was waiting to jump on silver with both feet, will look twice before it leaps. The cause of bimetallism is taking a marked stay forward. AMUSEMENTS I Los Angeles Theater, —The Wolves of New York will continue to entertain tho patrons of this house during the re mainder of the week. a « » In the matter of drawing the people, Sells & Rentfrow's circus is a decided success. In the matter of giving uni versal eatislaction, it is directly the op posite. The parade onlj brought out words of delight from the small boy. The older persons harshly criticised it. The tents were packed to their utmost at both performances, but the throngs were not pleased with what they saw. At she day performance about 3000 spectators were present. At night a > great number could not gain admission. Becoming restless at tbe charming ' I strains of music floating from beneath the canvas, the hoodlum element man aged to gat up a pugilistic row with the "tattooed man," wbo, after a terrible encounter, escaped without any noticea ble damage to his person. Several people called at the Herald ! office to give vent to their wrath at the ' performance, but space is too limited to do justice to their phrases. PERSONAL. Banker H.

THE NEWBERN WRECK. WILL THE INVESTIGATION SOLVE THE MYSTERY? 'peculation Rife as to tha Cans* of the Oleaster—Lights Bald to Have Been Been at Point Duma and a Mys terious Steamer In the Offing. The wreck of the steamer Newbern last week near Point Vincent remains an unexplained mystery. Whether it will be investigated to a solution, and whether that solution is likely to be of a sensational character, is a question which time can only solve. Meanwhile speculation ie rife as to the causes which led to the disaster, and as to the peculiar destruction by tire of that portion of the vessel which re mained above water. There are a number of curiuos features about the matter which, in default of any explanation to the contrary, give reason for tbe supposition that the wreck was possibly something more tban an accident. Tbe vessel was on the way from Mexi can ports to San Francisco, and was in command of an experienced and able navigator. Its course should have beeu to the west of Oatalinafjisland. Why was tbe Newbern inside of tbat place? It ie said that tbe nights previous to tbe one of the wreck were clear, and there has been no claim advanced that the weather in tbe day time was such as to prevent the taking of an observation. In fact, it would appear, at least from a layman's point of view, that a skillful commander, such as that of the Newbern is acknowledged to be, could have cleared Catalina by dead reckoning in the few days tbat bad elapsed since his Waving his last port, which waa on the west coast of Lower California/ It.is claimed that the ocean currents peculiar to this coast must have carried the vessel out of ber course and onto Point Vincent. If this be so, tbe New bprn, it is presumable, must have got some distance west and north of Be dondo, and then have been drifted east and south, for, according to the reports of the wreck, she struck to tbe north ward of the point. This is, perhaps, possible and correct. If so, tbe theory can be corroborated by mariners famil iar with the coast; but it appears to be open to question. A coincidence, of which tbe Herald has been informed, is somewhat perti nent to tbe matter. It ie stated, that for a day or so before tbe wreck a steamer resembling the Newbern was seen standing on and off from Point Dame, and tbat on the night before the disaster lights were displayed on the bluffs at that point. What steamer was tbat if not the Newbern? and why were lights, presumably signals, shown there? Are the custom house officials cognizant of these statements, and did they take any measures to ascertain why the Newbern was close enough to tbat locality romantically called Smug glers' Cave, if it was not due to the fog and tbe currents? The Herald ia also informed tbat np to midnight on the date of the wreck there was no fog at Point Vincent, but tbat it came in abont that hour. Ac cording to the published accounts of the affair, the Newbern went on the rocks at 3 o'clock, or three hours after the fog came in. If thia is correct it gives rise to the presumption that the vessel was ijuil, tha tint..' n) | B l rolled in, or else came in with it. If the ship had Deen cruising in the vicin- . ity for some purpose not known, it is possible that while laying to, the fog came on it, and in endeavoring to put out, her nose was run on the reef. The whole matter presents many perplexing and suggestive phases, but the climax is perhaps reached in the burning of the bull on the rockß a day or two after the wreck. How could it catch fire acci dentally, and if it was not an accidental fire what reason could any ono have for setting it ablaze? Thecrew.it will be remembered, found it difficult to sleep that night on the hulk, perhaps because it rolled too much, and Bailorß liking a firm place for their repoße, took a small boat, made it fast to the kelp near by and peacefully Blumbered until aroußed by the bla/.e of the burning wreck. It is an intereating incident. Tbe circumstances and features con be made to fit almost any theory, and several people are taking great interest in try ing to rind tbe solution. WILL TRY IT AGAIN. Another Attempt to Bo Made to Launch the Big Iron ripe. Another attempt will be made today to "launch" tbe caßt iron section of the outfall sewer. All previous attempts to put the big iron pipe into the ocean have been un successful, but the contractors now think they have a "cinch" on the seem ingly uncontrollable pipe. The echemo of building a miniature pier or wharf, on which it Was propoßed to roll the section out and lower it into the sea, has been abandoned. The first method employed, that of hauling it out by means of a tug, will be used today. The tug Pelican, from Redondo, will be on hand to do the work. The predictions of City Engineer Dockweiler have come true, for he Baid the first method would hays to bo re sorted to again before the pipe was suc cessfully launched. A number of tbe councilmen and tbe city engineer will go.down today to watch the proceeding. HE WAS A SLUGGER. A Drank Give* Two Polios Officers Con sidsrable Trouble. A drunken man, while being arreeted yetiterday evening by Officer Robbing, started in to make things lively, and in the struggle which fallowed broke two bones in the officer's right band, caus ing a painful wound.

A Branch of the Pacific Bank Case— Other Actions. ' 4, In the supreme court yesterday an application was received from San Fran cisco for a writ of prohibition in the Pacific bank case. A few days ago Judge Hibbard in an injunction suit brought against tbe bank on behalf of the state bank com missioners, appointed Judge Willey re ceiver on tbe showing made, and took the bank out of tbe hands of Sheriff Mc- Dade who was placed in possession sev eral months ago. Later an attempt was made to have Judge Hibbard vacate bis order, appointing lien. Willey, but be stood by his action, and said that on the ■bowing made he would not be doing bis duty not to have made tbe appoint ment. The application made to tha supreme court follows close upon the heels of these proceedings and was brought to prevent the receiver from acting. The conrt took tbe matter under advisement. Tbr grounds upon which tbe applica tion is based are that the bank commis sioner act does not authorize the court to grant any injunction, or to appoint any receiver, until after hearing on the merits of tbe case, which cannot be had until the defendants, the directors, have tiled their answer. It is further cloimed that the act does not authorize tbe appointment of a re ceiver at all, and tbat an injunction cannot be granted on the complaint and affidavits in the injunction suit. The application was set for hearing this morning at 9 o'clock. In department No. 1 the case of the People vs, Lynch was submitted on briefs already tiled. In the cases of People vs. Brown and People vs. llusleman, upon motion of Deputy Attorney General Layeon, tbe non appearance of counsel for appel lants and no briefs having been filed it was ordered tbat the judgments be affirmed. The appeal was ordered dismissed in the case of Maschmeyer vs. Borgwaldt, tbe respondent failing to file brief. Several cases were submitted on briefs to be riled. In department two Wm. Fitzgerald was admitted to practice on motion of Henry T. Gage. The case of City of Santa Barbara vs. Eldred, was stricken from the calendar. Several cases were argued and sub mitted and others submitted on briefs. MINING AT PERRIS. A Fins Prospect at tha Rosalie—Other Mines. Work on tbe Rosalie is progressing favorably, says tbe New Era, and as depth is attained tbe ore increases in value. A number of tons of ore have been run through the mill, and the re sult exceeded the owners' most sanguine expectations. Tbe mill closed down Thursday to allow some necessary re pairs to be made, but as soon as they are made it will resume operations. Lumber and iron was shipped Tues day to the Justice mine, owned by William S. Wise, George B. Knight and John Boyer, for the purpose of laying tbe stack iv tbe north tunnel, 250 feet in length. Work will be prosecuted for develop ment for some time to come, but suffi cient ore will now be taken out for a week's run of Governor BlaadeU'a mill at tbe Santa Rosa. ATTACHEn tup r.iBCUS. A Bill Foster's Grievance Against the E. W. Campbell, a bill poster, brought an attachment suit yesterday after noon against the Sells & Rentfrow cir cus for $9;>.20, and a constable had charge of the ticket wagon for a time. Campbell rented or leased to the cir cus people for use between October Ist and 16th bill boards, walls, fences and other things and places suitable for posters and show bills. They were to pay him al the rate of IJ cents per sheet space, and to give him 42 passes or tickets to the show. He had been un able to collect bis bill and the circus people had shut him off with only a few tickets, which, in hiß bill, he puts in aa 50 cents each for the 42. It waa under stood that later a satisfactory arrange ment was made of the matter. HE BLEW OUT THE GAS. I How A San Francisco Journalist Acted Wliea In a Heal Ulty.

The city editor dropped everything and saw that the young man waa com fortably fixed. There was ailencs for the space of two or tbree hours while the journalist rap idly wrote half a column. Then he gathered up hiß copy, and carefully blew out the gas, thanking the city ed itor for his courtesy. And some of the9e northerners call I this a jay town. WANTED IN SAN FRANCISCO.
