CHINA NEGOTIATING FOR MOKE WARSHIPS. Brazilian Crnlaera Wllh Dynamite Guns for tha Purpose of a It iii IV. New York, Dec. 20.—A Chinese agent ia in Washington negotiating with Bailor Mendonca, minister ior Brazil, for tha purchase of tbe Nictheroy and the Andria. These vessels were fitted ont in New York under Mendonca's super vision to aid the Brazilian government put down Hello's insurgent navy. Peace now reigns in Brazil and the ships era lying idle at Rio or in some harbor to the south, and it is considered that President Moraes wonld be glad to dis pose of them, bis present naval force be ing sufficient without this emergency squadron for a year or two. An officer of the Nictheroy has been approached by the Chinese agent and asked to name tbe terms under which be would navigate the vessel to Wei- Hai-Wel and serve three months there after in the war against the Japanese. He demanded $3000 for the former and 15000 for tbe latter service. The pur chase of either or both vessels would de pend upon the enlistment of several offioers and part of tbeir crews. This is why the Chinese agent treats with Jdendonca instead of with the authorities at Rio. The Zalinsky dynamite gun on the Nictheroy is the main reason why China wants the vessel. It served its purpose In tbe Brazilian war by inspiring terror among tha Insurgents rather than by aay real service. The Chinese agent thinks it will serve the same purpose against the Japanese. Indeed, Men donca's enemies are denouncing him for bia expensive and useless purchases, •nd it would strengthen his ponition if he oonld make a good trade with China. The purchase money would go to pay for tbe new Brazilian navy now building at the Armstrongs. "If the Nictheroy ia sold," said a gentleman familiar with the negotia tions, "the Zalinsky gun goes with it. That gun ought to have a ehanoe to prove its merits. But (regretfully) the war will be over before the Chinese can nae it. The vessel will be commanded and manned by Americans if tbe deal goes through, and then il wonld see some real fighting." ' A CAMERA DETECTIVE. Used In tbs Antl-Balaan Craaada la Brooklyn. New York, Deo. 20.—A mace -meeting waa held in the Hansen Place Baptist church last night, at the oall of the League for the Enforcement of Law in Brooklyn, and tha orowd whioh filled the pews were treated to a surprise. The agents of the society had pressed the band camera into service, and there were shown npon a mighty screen with tbe aid of the etereopticon aome big re productions of snap shots taken laat Sunday. The exhibition was given by Da Qulnoy Tally. 1 7 The greater part of the views were saloon exteriors, showing uniformed polioemen standing idle in front of tbe doors while children witn beer cans were entering by the side doors or com ing out with froth-crowned pitchers. In more than one instance, the lecturer explained, the unerring camera had taken the policeman's number. The figures on the officer's shields were in distinct on the screen, but it is Baid that the numbers have been a matter of re cord for use later. The utter unconsciousness of the fig ures in the pictures to tbe presence of a oamera fiend was one of the features of the collection. SWAMP LAND KKCbAMATION, Raport or Commissioner Koso and n Reo ommandatton. San Fraiscisco, Dec. 20. —Commis- sioner of Pnblic Works Kose has made a report on the reclamation of the swamp lands in the interior of the state, orig inally comprising 1,700,000 acres. For many years efforts to reclaim these lands have been made, the attempts at draining costing a total of $1,700,000 and the projected reclamation proving a practical failure. This is ascribed to lack of system aud intelligently applied effort. The report recommends tbe adoption of a complete syßtem formulated by tbe consulting engineers, Marson and Gran sky, who have demonstrated tbat the Sacramento and its tributaries present a vastly greater volume, of flood waters than the channel can be made to carry. Tbe engineers' plans provide for ade quate flood channels by means of by pass canals lying between master dykes, passing down aud through the basins. The flood waters over and above tbe oapaoity of the river are permitted to escape from tbe channel over wide weirs constructed of concrete and raised to the flood level of tho danger line. Tbe report says that tbe debris from past hydraulic mining operations will be a cause of trouble for years as it works its way down to the basin. The Yuba, Bear and the American can carry nearly all the dickens and tbey empty into the Saoramento river not far apart. Koss suggests that the lower course of the Bear and the Yuba might be de flected at moderate cost into tbe Ameri can river basin whioh comprises 110 square milea and is large enough to im pound past and future slickens, should hydraulic mining be put on a legal basis once more.

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Hiirheat Award. **,OS ANGELES TTERA LVj FRIDAY MORNING: DECEMBER 21; 1894, HORSE TAIL SOUP. Novel Banquet Glvan by n Veterinary Burg BAD. New York, Deo. 20.—A banquet of horseflesh was given by Veterinary Sur geon James D. Hopkins of Newark last evening.

The most practical argument for the introduction of horse meat, however, was the manner in which it was served upon this occasion, and it seemed cer tain that the rich as well as the poor would be convinced of ita merits if they could get it cooked ac Dr. Hopkins bad it prepared last night. Tbere was horse tail soup, soup riohly flavored and nour ishing; boiled saddle of horse with horse radish sauce, and broiled tender loin of horse, while the piece de resist ance was a rib roast. There was a hot roast and plenty of broiled ateaks and breaded cutlets, with all imaginable soups and relishes and a variety of vege tables. There was a great deal of joou lar conversation at the table, and all sorts of horse talk, but not the slightest indication of qualmishness, Everybody want there with the intention of eating what the doctor bad prepared, and the first taste of palateable soup enconraged all to go on with the courses.
