Mrs. N. J. Willis, one of the speakers, advocated sending only Spiritualists to Con, . She said: “I blush for the men who have voted to place legisiative ritual- ism cannot %et its full growth while it is hemmed in by the ties of political party lines. Let us remain true to the divinity of our gospel, and they may place who- ever they will in the halls of Congress.” The speaker made an earnest appeal against voting for any candidate who was opposed to the vrinciples of spiritualism, for when spiritualists stand up manfully for their rights no commonwealth will be able to refuse them justice. e THE GOSPEL IN MANUSCEIPT.

BITTER CONTEST ENDED. Acquires for $25,000 a Tract for Which the Owners Asked $1,500,000. PECULIAR POINT INVOLVED. Possession of Water-Bearing Strata Beneath the Surface is Decided. LOS ANGELES, Cav., April 1.—The suit of the city of Los Angeles against A. E. Pomeroy and J. D. Hooker, for the con- demnation of water-bearing lands for the headworks of the city water supply, was decided to-day by a jury in the Superior Court, after being on trial for several weeks. The case is a victory for the city, and secures for it for §25,000 privileges that would otherwise have cost it $1,500,000. The land condemned embraces 313 acres | at the entrance to the San Fernanao Val- ley. It isonly a small portion of a very large tract owned by Pomeroy & Hooker, | but it is practically all of the tract that is underlaid by water-bearing strata. The contention of the city was that the over- tlow was in reality part of the wafers of the Los Angeles River, which belonged to | the city. The city, therefore, claimed the | right to all the water developed or under- | lying the land, and was willing to™ pay for | the land only, which was worth without water, at the lowest estimate put on it by the city, $5000. Pomeroy & Hooker contended that the subterranean waters were no part of the river, but belonged to the land and made it of great value. They estimated the | value of the tract, with the water they could develop thereon, at $1,500,000, and asked for that sum in case the land was condemned for the city’s use. They con- | tended that tne loss of the water under this tract would render their adjacent land almost worthless. | The case was stubbornly fought, eminent counsel being employed on both sides. | More expert testimony was taken than in | any other case ever tried in the State, nearly every prominent civil, mining and bydraulic engineer in Southern California | being examined, as well as many experts | in real estate values. Judge Lucien Snaw’s | charge to the jury was elaborate and com- | prehensive. The jury, after deliberating several | hours, returned a verdict awarding the | defendants $23,000 for the property con- | demned ana $2000 damages. Many peopls would have considered 1t a victory for the city if $50,000 had been awarded the de- fendants. Itis probable the case will be | appealed. The new acquisition assures | the city a sufficient and permanent water i supply. COLUSA- QUARRY INSPECTED. | Harbor Commissioners Selecting Stone for | the San Francisco Ferry Depot. COLUSA, Car., April 1.—Harbor Com- | missioners E. L. Colnon, Daniel P. Cole and J. 8. Chadbourne arrived from San Francisco to-day on a tour of inspection to j the Sites sandstone quarry.

The day was a_perfect one in the valley, and every opportunity was given the party to thoroughlv msrem the stone which lies there in unlimited quantities. It wasthe expressed opinion of all the committee that no finer building stone could be found | in thé country. Tne architect and chief | engineer'were especially pleased with the character of the stone, aud are of the opinion that it will bear the severest tests, and that no better could be had #or the ferry building. e Alter spending several hours pleasantly in and around the quarry the party boarded the train and returned to Colusa, where they will remain over night, and re- turn to San Francisco to-morrow. They were all very much pleased with their trip. Eonigdegt oo o SANTA MONICA REJOICES. Formal Opening of the Pasadena and Pacific Railway.

HAS A GOLDEN BOTTOM. Drainage Tunnel to Be Built and the Yellow Sediment Uncovered. NATIVES WATCH FOR ANDRIE Will Aid the Aerial Navigator in His Search for the Pole—The Rush to the Yukon. SEATTLE, Wask., April 1.—Alaska ad- vices received by the steamer Willapa which arrived in port from the north to- day say that enterprising Sitkans intend to drain a lake back of that staid old town and gather by the wagon-load gold buliion and dust that for centuries has been brought down and accumulated in the bed of the lake by glaciers. The project is a grand one and commendatory of the worthy spirits behind it. The outside world will watch with as much interest their progress as some Uhristian folk have done for the cna of the world. The tun- nel will not be an extraordinarily long one—only about 1000 feet—and it will run water from the lake, whose bottom is be- lieved to be paved with gold to a great depth. The feeders for the lake are be- lieved to have been ancient glaciers which, in their slow process of travel, have ground up the mountains into debris and depos- ited precious metal along with sediment in the lake bottom. Claims have already been taken up and preparations for un- locking the secrets of glacier and lake are to be pushed forward. Another bit of ‘sensational news from Alaska is that the great ice-bound region is being made aware of Professor Andrie’s proposed aerial trip to the North Pole, and that the natives from Point Barrow to Greenland, are looking forward with keen interest to his appearance. The Pacific Geographical Society bas in hand the dis- semminating of the news, and letters have been sent out by the commercial compa- nies doing business in Arctic Alaska, with the request that the iinformation be im- parted to all accessible natives, in order that they may render assistance when Professor Andrie and his bglloon comes their way. Andrie, according to this society, which claims to have been so notified by the Minister from Norway and Sweden at Washington City, will start from Spitz- bergen some time in July. This news will be spread broadcast at Wrangel Land, off the coast of Siberia, amsng the Tchutchis tribe, which was so liberally rewarded some years ago by this Government for as- sistance to American shipwrecked sailors, by the steam whaler Orca, Captain Mec- Gregor. The Orca, which is now en route, will also go far east in the Arctic. There is no abatement in the rush to Alaska; on the contrary, the exodus is on the increase, and by Saturday no less than fifteen vessels, big and_little, with a pas- senger list of fully 1000 men and freight and supplies in proportion will have sailed from this port far the golden field to the north. The Indian mail-carrier, “Jimmy” Jack- son, who left Seattle early in the winter with mail for the Yukon, has, it is re- ported by Robert Insley, who has just made his way out of that country, proba- bly met the fate of the two newspaper men—Hodge and McNelis—whom he de- serted and left to perish. When last seen he was off the trail, and cold and hunger bad apparently unbalanced his mind. His two Indian companions he had also left behind, and he had thrown away much mail matter. A disease similar to hydrophobia is rap- idly carrying off the dogs taken to Alaska. Many canines have been shot and the loss falls heavily upon their owners, owing to the difficulty in replacing them. BAUCE GOVERKS ARTZONA Hughes Surrenders His Office to the Secretary of the - Territory. Appointees of the Late Executive Likely to Be Ousted by Franklin. PH@ENIX, Ariz., Apri‘l 1.—Secretary C. M. Bruce is acting Governor of Arizona to-night. A telegram from J. M. Reynolds, acting Secretary of the Interior, to Gov- ernor Hughes, came this evening, direct- ing him to vacate the office and turn it over to Secretary Bruce. This Hughes did at 4:30 o'clock, stating that he would consider bimself Governor until official notification of his removal came from the President, who had com- missioned him; but to avoid an unseemly wrangie he would turn the office over to Secretary Bruce. His friends prevailed upon him to abandon his determination to fight his removal before the Senate. It is not believed that Governor Bruce will make any radical changes among office-holaers, as Lis tenure of office will only lasy until Governor Franklin is con- firmed by the Senate. When Governor Franklin is installed a pretty fight is an- tici];‘)aud. as it is expected that he will make a clean sweep ot Hughes’ appointees, and leading officers here say the &vernor has no right to remove an officer except for cause. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1.—1he Interior Department authorities, upon re- ceipt of a telegram from Territorial Secre- | tary Bruce of Arizona that Governor Hughes refused to vacate his office, to-day sent the following to both gentlemen: Louis C. Hughes, Phenir, Ariz.: You have been removed from the office of Governor oi Arizona. The President directs that you turn over the office to the Secretary at once. Charles M. Bruce, Secretary of Arizona, Phanix, Ariz: Mr. Hughes has been removed as Gover- nor. The President directs that you take pos- session of the office as acting Governor under the law.
