The Sou hern Pacific's Beceipts Getting Smaller Every Six Mcaths-The Rai'roai Commißiion to Meet To-Morrow Tbe farms who control the new line of clipper tihips from New Yors to San Fran cisco mean business, and it oulydepeuds on the support they receive from the local merchant? whether they will become t>wr inauent ar.d fl arisbing in the future or whether the whole enterprise will nevei go beyond the ex; .-r mental siage it now i- In. There is not the least troublo about se curing all the freight for Francisco the shippers can carry, and if it depended upon the westbound truffic alcne a very large fleet could easily be constantly employed for the purpose. It remains to be seen Low these vessels are patron zed after their arrival here and when they arc looking fir return cargoes. j. \Y. > & ■ . ■■■' ■ i iready o; c si.ip on her way here n w, the, Coai M i Aloodv, and a second one, tiie T. F. O,»kes, Will fo.low - Balfour, Qnthrle & Co. have chartered the ship Annie Johnson a. id will shortly put her into service in the new line. The freight ra"e« made by these firms are by far more advantageous than those of tbe oid lines. .Merchants in all branches of business consider the outlook for a relief from the heavy taxes they have lor years been com pelled, to pay to the Southern Pacific Com pany, and transportation lines under that corporation's control, very encouraging, and a great many laree snippers state freely that they will patronize the clipper lines as much as possible. It is calculated that in the future freights which aie now $7 and $10 per ton will be reduced to 96 50 and 18 per ton. For a ioug time and previous to com mencement of ihe present agitation the charges do New York freights were £12 SO and $15 per ton, which plainly shows what a benefit the local trade receives from the introduction of the new Cape Horn route. The Southern Pacific Company, Williams, Dimond & Co. and .button, iJeebe & Co. are already hard at work in making Concessions to the merchants in this city and are mak ing them all kinds of promises if they will only consent to patronize them in the fu ture as tiiey were compelled to do in the past, but the independent lines are the favorites in battues* circles, because it is well known that were it not for them there would be no concessions or solicitation* of patronage on the pan of the old monopolies. The receipts of the Southern Pacific Com pany during the six months just ended were, according to a statement made by an Official in authority yesterday, by far lee* than those for a similar period last year. "The exact figures of receipt* are not as yet prepared, but we know that they will be considerably lower than they were at the end of the first nix months in 1891," sail tbe officer, "but the outlook for the lull sea son is good and we hope that at the end of the year the balance will be all right." The trouble in Texas, where the llailroad Commissioners recently reduced the freight rate , the Traffic Association's constant agitation, the new clipper lines, the League of Progress and generally all-around dis satisfaction on the part of the people with the methods of the Kentucky corporation are the reasons why its receipts are getting (smaller every six months. The Railroad Commissioners meet to morrow morning to have tho answers road which haw been filed in tbe Shively com plaint case by those roads that have had time to make answers. They will also hear the attorneys of the companies who desire continuances. I« o Haiiili-iliii: VVuif*. Two children, who cave their names as Harry and Hiiitie Diamond and their ages as 11 and 8 years, were found wandering on Pine street, near Powell, and taken. to the City Prison at 2 o'clock yesterrtay : morning.

The mnthpr could not account f< r the api earanee of tlie little onei in the street, except to say they were very m ayward. FATHER ELPHICK'S WILL.

Anomalous Position of the Indian as to Citizenship. California Hundred Company-Output of Beet- Sugar Factories-Burning of the Steamer Golden Gate-State Citizsnship. Infi k.ibiutv OF I.NDIAXS— E. m San Jose. CaL The Indian occupies an anoma lous position as records citizenship. Al though native of the soil he is not a citizen, nor is he eligible in his normal condition, nor can he acquire it when brought within the range of eligibility by any of the ordi nary methods of acquiring It. While not really foreigners, yet they are for all that alien nations and distinct political communi ties, with whom by treaty the United States deals h- she mm fit. They an la a state of pupilage resembling that of a ward to his guardian, and as such ward of the nation entitled to a share of the protection which the Government easts around all tho native tribes within its domains. Having severed his tribal relations and assumed the habits and easterns of civilized society the lad] ■ is entitled to many of the rights of Federal citizenship without being one and without the power like other persons of becoming •M in the ordinary way. The distinctive status of an Indian tube a-» compared with any other class or race of inhabitants In the United States is forcibly illustrated in the tact that an individual State within whose boundaries the tribe may be settled has no power over it nor over any of its. n embers maintaining their tribal relations, Nor do such Indians owe the State any allegiance, and th« State can give them no protection. Through an abandonment of his tribe, an Indian becomes a member of the body politic known ns citizens of the United States only for the purposes of Jurisdiction. To become citizens they must comply with some treaty providing for their naturalization or come under the direct operation of some statute authorizing ta dividuals of upecial tribes to assume citi zenship by due process ol law. in the la; --ter way an Indian after levering ins tribal relations may become a citizen by Congress conferring citizenship upon him. But he cannot become a citizen unless the Government gives consent in some form.

Discussion (aused by the Revival of the Sil ver Question— The President's Family. Correspondence of The Morn-ing Call. Society has had a little extra and unusual amusement this week in the hearing of the McLane will contest, and the courtroom has been filled with a3 choice a company as could be gathered for an afternoon tea. When Captain Allan McLane, ex-president of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company, died two years ago, his will devised nearly all of his estate, of $500,000 to his young widow, the only sister of his first wife,, and his daughter's small portion had been made smaller by a codicil added a year after his marriage and two years before his death. In the first Mrs. McLane'a lifetime her widowed mother "and her sister, Mrs. and Miss Knight, made their home with the McLunes. Miss Abby Knight was but a few years older than Mrs. UcLane'a daugh ter, and aunt and niece were brought up together and were more nearly sisters. Fourteen years after her mother's death Miss McLane married Mr. John Cropper and went in live in New York, and soon after Mr. IfcLaae, then pa-t 60. married Miss Abby Ki.icht. No one accused the clear-headed, strong-minded and strong willod old sea captain of not knowing what he was about sit any time daring his life, and he had discussed the matter with bis brothers before ho married Miss Knight. "We've wondered why on earth you didn't do it long ago if sh§ would have you," were the brotherly comments on the pro posed union. It is not proved that Captain .Me Line was ever very much in love with his New York son-in-law, and atter Cap tain McLane married, thus dividing the estate which Mr. Cropper had expected to manage,' the son-in-law made himself less and less agreeable. Mr. and Mrs. Cropj er talked freely, pouring out their sentiments and opinions to those who brought them straight to Washington, and thus widened any possible breach, and when Capt tin He- Lane's will was read they declared war, ascribing undue influence to Mrs. McLane and the captain's brother, Janus McLane. .Mrs. Cropper brought suit to hive the will set aside. For three days this daughter sat in court and allowed her lawyers to read aloud the intimate and loving letters which her father had written her during a period of several years. But Mrs. Cropper lost her suit. OFF. FOB THE- SEASIDE.

M Washington. July 3. IN SEARCH OF A TILE. The Amiability of FroWdence In Shaping Coiiici(li-itr«*«i. Chicago News Record. George W. Cable was telling us not lon<r ago an incident illustrative of the value »>{ toe vigilance and of the amiability of Provi dence in shaping coincidences. A Can. bridge lady Had had in her house many years an old and curious tile which she ad mired and valued highly. She kept it hung upon the wall of her parlor. It was of archaic pattern and was. so far as she could learn, unique. But upon one occasion, happening to get ac quainted with James Russell Lowell she was invited to a social gathering at thai gentleman's house, and she there discovered that in one of the rooms of the hou>e there was a large fireplace tiled in the exact pal tern of the solitary tile she possessed I And there was one tile missing! Mr. Lowell could not exulain the absence of the tile* it had been gone. so long a time that he had Ceased to note its absence. The lady hated to give up her pel tile, but she was brave enough,- to do it; she sent th- precious bit over to Mr. Lowell and it was duly put ia place among its other lac-simile brothers and sisters. But from that moment the lady in ques ti«in was possessed of a mania to find that til • which lons ago had wandered from th« I. -.veil fireside. This mania mail»« her the object of touch derision, for -ii ■■ would, dt sert her mother, home and friends to ran sack junsshops and second-?! stores and to mouse around old ere kery reposi tories and prowl through alleys and poke la ash neaps, 81m could hardly eat her meals or sleep of Dittos tor tin- con suming madness. Her folk* began to worry about her and thought of sending he r to a water cure. But one day she did actually find that lost tile-f<>und it in a ribald rub- Dish heap, from which one corner reached pleadingly, plaintively up!. She found it and it was uuh. timed. She bore it oil iv triumph, polished it up and ensconced it over her mantelpiece, where it hangs to d >y, a solenoid mouument to her vigilance and indefatiguoility. r..r»Miti! Knre<<<<;ht. .
