SACRAMENTO, C Jan. 8.—Two | years ago Los Angeles sent to the Assem- | bly as one of its representatives a man in the of life, whose countenance was ovérspread with the pale cast of thought, lor the close of w of the most, indastrious workers in He had all but a very on ot hie bills prepared, so that | ho showed n that he e most. and the ses: if not m bl House had organized and the announced that the next busi- in order was the introduction of biils, nobtrusive little man handed up a batch of bills asked for by his constituents. een that time and the end of the on he had not more than a half dozen to present, so that he was at liberty dur- ing the remainder of the life of the session | to devate all his time and erergies to the work of guiding his bills safely through | the shoals and quicksands. He putin his | bills early and they were passed or re- jected as ecrly as the case might be, be- | cause he was always on hand in fair | weather or foul, and the rollcall never | showed that he was ever absent from bis | is little mar: who was so faithful to his trast was R. N. Bulla, at present a Senator from Los Angeles. Senator Bulla is very much interested in the Torrens | land transfer act, which failed of passage at the last session of the Legislature. The tem originated in Australia, and is in successful operation there and in Ontario, | New Zealand and Manitoba. He willi | when make en attempt at this session to have the bill become a law. The bill proposes to simplify the method | of provine and recording the title to real | e~tate, Under the present system every deed or other document that refers how- ever remotely to the transfer of real estate has to be recorded. This involves the con- | stant searching of the title and the enor- mous accumulation of the documents per taining to title. Uncer the Torrens system a person is about to buy land, or when he wishes to offer a piece of land for sale, he makes applicaiion to the Superior Court in the same manner as an action to quiet title is brougnt. That application must be accompanied by the abstract and notice must be given to every persen men- tioned in the abstract and to the owners of property adjoining. Then the court makes inquiry and ascertains the exact condition of the title and renders a decree. A cer'ified copy of this decree is taken to | the Recorder's office,- and the Recorder thereupon issues a certificate of title. If after the certificate has been issued, a mechanic’s lien or 8 mortgage has been filed, a statement of that fact is entered on the certificate. All transactions in which that piece of real estate is concerned are recorded on the certificate, and the certificate is the only document which the intending purchaser need examine. At the last session of the Legislature of the State of Illinois an act was passed similar to the one introduced in the As- sembly of this State, and which was de- feated in the Senate. The Illinois act was declared unconstitutional because that act did not provide that the application had to be mude to the court, but it created a register, as under the Australian act, which gave him judicial powers. Chio has also passed a similar act, modeled largely upon the one which the California people prepared. Opposition to the bill comes from searchers of records and law- yers, because they fear that the bilt will make their business slack; but Senator Bulia does not think that this class of veople will be injured for the mnext fifty vears. The act does not make it obliga- tory to brine the title of land into court. 1t is entirely optional. A bill giving cities jurisdiction over parks wholly without their boundaries, and over roads and streets leading thereto, will be introduced in the Senate by Sena- tor Bulla. The bill, while general in its | nature, is intended to assist the city of Los Angeles to take care of a magnificent tract of 3000 acres of land presented to that city for a park by G. J. Griffith, one of her enterprising citizens. The Senator will also introduce a constitutional amend- ment giving to women the right of suf- frage. The Senator isan ardent advocate of the doctrine. Ralilroads for Tahoe. SACRAMENTO, Car., Jan. 8.—The peo- ple of Nevada County have for a long time been anxious for a railroad from Truckee | to Lake Tahoe for the accommodation of tourists, whose numbers would be largely increased if there were railroad facilities between those points. Such a raiiroad would be of great value to shippers along the route. But there exists an obstacle in the way in shape of the law prescribing that all railroads operating in this State must be operated continuously. Senator P of Nevada and Assemblyman Rob- RUSS 0. STEPHENS MAYOR OF BRIGhTON, inson of the same county have prepared a bill to remove the lezal obstacle without sacrificing or jeopardizing the rights of the people. The bill provides tnat all rail- roads operating in this State whose lines of road are wholly constructed at an ele- vation of 5000 feet or more above the level of the sea shall only be required to main- tain and operate their roads or to run pas- senger or freight trains thereon between May 1 and October 15 of each year. The road will be built by Mr. Bliss, president of the Tahoe and Carson City Lumber Company, backed by merchants of Grass Valley and Truckee. He has been in the lumber business for many years, but since the saspension of so much work on the Comstock lode he has not been able, under present conditions, to find a very profitable market for his lumber. The road will open up a market for him- self and many others in various lines of business. It will run along the Truckee River and will be quite a scenic road and very attractive to travelers. The enterprise will increase the taxable property in Nevada County and will be the advance agent of prosperity for her people. During the winter months snow lies along the entire route to a depth of ten 10 fifteen feet, and it is therefore im- possible to travel or to transport merchan- dise during that season —— Screws on Officlals. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Jan. 8.—Some people over in Alameda must have had some difficulty collecting debts from ofti- cials who shield themselives behind a pro- vision of the code exempting them from the overation of garnishmenis and exech- tions on their salaries, The bill will place public officials on the same footing as other citizens. —_———— BRAUNHART’S BILL.

C., Jan., 8.—The Ways and Means Committee to-day heard representatives of the earthenware, glass- ware, marble and stone industries. F. W. Walker of Beaver Falls, Pa., the first speaker, advosated a change in the section of the present law relating to titles, favoring a new classification with specific duties, R. W. Lesiie of Philadelphia advocated the retention of the present duty on ce- ment. L. Arrington of Alton, Ill., asked on be- balf of the blowers of Illinois the restora- tion of the McKinley rates on bottles. E. A. Adard of Streator, Iil,a glass- blower, said that the American workmen had been driven to the wall by the present tariff law. Works had been closed, wages reduced and the hours of work increased. Under the McKinley law the industry had prospered and at the same time the cost of bottles was reduced 25 per cent. W. J. Smith of Pittsburg spoke for the workers in flint and lime glassware, the most important branch of the glassindus- try, employing the greatest number of laborers and having the largest capital, He asked for protection on time and flint products, in order that theindustry might live and employment be given the idle workman, Dorflinger of New York, repre- senting the Cut-glass Manufacturers’ As- sociation, said a high uariff on cut glass wes necessary to compete successiully with the ware produced by cueap foreign labor. Representative Taylor of Ohio, whorep- resents the district formerly represented by President-elect McKinley, spoke for the manufacturing and operative potters, What they wanted, he said, was the recog- nition by Congress of the difference in wages paid to workmen here and abroad. The committee ad journed until to-mor- row, when those interested in iron, steel and lead ores will be beard. TO BLOCKADE CHARLESTON. Interesting Work Cut Out for Admiral Bunce—A Most Powerful Fleet Will Be Engaged, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 8.—Ad- miral Bunce's squadron is to' blockade Charleston early in February. The Ad- miral had a long conference with Secre- tary Herbert and other naval officers to- day, and asa result his plans for drills and maneuvers, of which the rigid mili- tary blockade of Charleston, 8 C., is the chief feature, were thoroughly approved, and all necessary arrangements for carry- ing out the proposed operations will at once be inaugurated. The scheme involves the maintenance of a strong blockading fleet off Charleston harbor and the assignment of one or more fast vessels, including the Vesuvius, to do duty as blockade-runners. Stores and coal will be massed at Port Royal as a base for the smaller blockading cruisers, but the battle-ships and perhaps the big cruisers will have to take turns going to Hampton Roads for supplies, unless it proves feasible to serve them on the high ceas. It is expected that the new cruiser Brooklyn, which will be ready to leave Puiladelphia to-morrow to get a silver service from the city for which she was christened and is tpen under orders to take aboard her torpedo outfit at New- port, will then be attached to the squad- ron in time for the maneuvers. The fleet will be the most powerful gathered in recent years—including the battle-ships Massachusetts, Indiana and Texas; the cruisers New York, Brooklyn, Columbia, Newark, Raleigh, Montgom- ery. Marblebead and Castine; the ram organizations shiall hold office as such member for the period of two years from the first Mon- day aiter the 1st day of January next succeed- ing his election.

Y \ Hungaran Feslivities Result in One Man Dead, Two Dying and Five 0 hers Bady Wounded. SCRANTON, N. J.,, Jan. 8.—A Hun- garian christening at Mayfield this county, had the usual bloody ending which attends the affairs, for as a result one man is dead and two are dying and five others are badly carved. Strong lLquor flowed freely at the christening and soon many of the men were mad with drink. Seven of the participants in the feast went to the house of Lucetz Krutchas. Kratchas soon had to resent an insult to his wife and then the knives flashed out. Mrs. Kratchas dashed out the light and fled from the room. A .earful fight fol- lowed in the dark. Tne drink-maddened men cut and stabbed each other and rolled together upon the floor in deadly grapple. Finally a constable and posse broke into the house and when a light was had a ghastly picture was presented. The furniture was battered and broken and blood was everywhere and stretched on the floor were eight apparently dead and dying men, groaning and cursing. A physician was hastily summoned. Krut- chas was so terribly cut that he daied in a short while. The injuries of the other men show the savage nature of the fight. s SHORT TWENTY THOUSAND. Arrest of a County Treasurer of lowa Who Confesses io a Heavy Embezzlement. DAKOTA CITY, Iowa, Jan. 8.—Ths Supervisors of Humboldt County met to- day and after investigation found County Treasurer J.

Zhe Suit for Imjuuction Now Being Ar- gued in Chicage. CHICAGO, In, Jan. 8-—The suit brought by Attorney-General Maurice T. Moloney, on behaif of the people of Iili- nois, against the American Tobacco Com- pany, also called the cigarette trust, ask- ing for a perpetual injunction against the company to resirain it from doing busi- ness in Illinois, came up before Judge Gibbons this morning. The Attorney- General filed an exhaustive iniormation in chancery against the company, alleg- ing that it existed and did business in vio- lation of the anti-trast law of tue State. The company filed a demurrer to the information, and oral arguments on this demurrer comprised the proceedings be- fore Judge Gibbons all day. ‘The Attorney-General conducled the case for the people, and the company was represented by W. W. Fuller of New York city, general counsel, and Hon. Charles H. Aldrich, ex-Bolicitor-General of tne United States, local coun:el. Mr. Aldrich opened the case with arguments in support of the demurrer. His brief set forth at length | the allegations made against the company 1n the Attorney-General’s bill. It states that the company was organ- ized in 1889 and 1890 by Allen & Ginter of Richmond, W. 8. Kimball & Co. of New York, W. Duke & Sons of North Carolina, the Kinney Tobacco Company of North Carolina, and Goodwin & Co. of New York. The alleged trust had a capital stock of $25,000,000 When organized, woich was afterward increased to $35,000,000. The concern was attacked on the ground that it was formed for the purpose of es- tablishing a monopoly in restraint of trade and to control the manufacture in,this country of cigarettes made of paper. The Attorney-General, in reply, con- tended that the act of 1893 did not even attempt to repeal the anti<trust law of 1891 The former act was only supple- mentary and 1t was not void in omitting to declare trusts and combinations illegal and prohibit them, because specific penal- ties, imposed under the act of 1891, con- tained all that was omitted in that oi 1893. He contended that the law, derived from English jurisprudence, gave him the right, asthe publiclaw officer of the State, to come into court and ask for a redress of these wrongs. 1t was his duty to protect the people when the law was being vio- lated without waiting until ‘“rogues fell out and honest men might come by their own dues.” Arguments will be resumed to-morrow. - — HALF-BKEED INDIAN'S SUIT. Wants Forty-Three dores of Land in the Heart of Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 8.—Joseph Boulanger, a half-breed Osage Indian, came here yesterday from Eigin, Kans., and announced that he would bring suit to recover forty-three acres of land in the- heart of Kansas City, now worth between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000. The land was bought by the Government in 1842 from Collise Mentardeau, a Krench trader, who was the grandfather of the present claim- ant. Boulanger is a prosperous farmer and bas lived in Eigin for years. He shows apparently indisputavle proof of his re- lation to Montardeau. On March 18, 1894, Boulanger read in a Kansas City paper of the filing of the patent grantea to Col- Jise Montgrdeau by President Andrew Jackson, whose sigrature was affixed by A. J. Donelson, his secreiary. The land was patented at the Land Office of Lexing- ton. Boulanger claims that his grand- father, being 1.torant of legal forms, bad never filed the patent, and that the trans- fers ot the propertiessince then have been invalidated. The property holds the larg- est building in Kansas City. el Big (laim Filed. MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. organized Northern Pacific R: filed with special Master Alfred L.

Both Archbishop and Ceremony Denounced as Frauds by a Ritualist. Resu't of Contenticns Between High and Low Churchmen Upon the Dcetrine of Evolution. LONDON, Exg., Jan. 8.—Right Hon. Most Rev. Frederick Temple, recently ap- pointed Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of all England, was enthroned in the cathedral at Canterbury to-day in the presence of twelve Bishops anad 350 clergy- men and a large laity. As the procession entered the cathedral an enthusiastic rit- uralist named Greenwood cried out: “Both the ceremony and the Archbishop are frauds!” Efforts were made to quiet Greenwood, but he continued to cry out until seized and locked up. Ecclesiastical England (including Wales) is divided into two great provinces, gach ruled over by an Archbishop. The iarger province, with twenty-three dioceses, has its seat at Canterbury, the capital of the cient kingdom of Keut; the smaller, capital of Northumbria. The Archbishop of Canterbury has always held pre-emi- nent and unmiversal authority over the whole kingdom. This pre-eminence is marked in the titles which the respective Archbishops assume. Both ure primates. But the Archbisaop of York is simply called Pri- mate of England. The Archbishop of Canterbury, on the other hand, is Primate of all England. It is also indicated by their relative rights of precedence. The Archbishop of Canterbury had precedence over all the nobility save those of royal blood, the Lora Chancellor comes next and then the Archbishop of York. Though the Archbishop of Canterbury is the sacerdotal head of the Church of England, the nominal and secular head is at present Queen Victoria. The reason why the Archbishop of Canterbury is the priestly head of that church is that bis special diocese is the tradle of English Christianity. It was here the authority of the Pope over England was transferred during the reformation to the Episcopal church, Henry VIII then being the ruler. The enthronement to-day was an im- posing and spectacular affair. It is the most impressive, perhaps, in the whole category of ceremonies of the Established church. All the leading prelates from far and near were present. The represen- tatives of royalty were present and distin- guished men in all ranks of life occupied seats of honor. The disturbance made by Greenwood was not altogether unexpected, for a large part of the Protestant Episcopal church is opposed Lo the new primate. To them Dr. Temple stands for all that is heretical in the teachingsof the higher catechism. He is one of the most ad- vanced Liberals in the ranks of the Eng- lish churchmen. He has long been a pro- fessed advocate of Darwin’s theory of evo- lution and of views similar to those which resulted several yearsago in the famous Briggs controversy in the United States. Dr. Temple is, moreover, not a man to conceal his views. He hasin many pub- lic utterances let the people know his atti- tude on these subjects. In his successive offices of head master of Rugby School, Bishop of Exeter and preached distinctly in accordance with thé **broad” school in the Church of Eng- land. Indeed, 8o frank has he been that his enemies could not let- his confirmation go by without entering a protest against his position. The ceremony took place in the Bow Church, Canterbury, December 22 In the midst of it Rev. Dr. Brownjohn, formerly chaplain of the Bishop of Bath, arose and startied the congregation by protesting against the confirmation on the ground that Dr. Temple was a self- confessed believer in the full doctrine of evolution, and thas this doctrine was in- compatible with fidelity to the Book of Common Prayer and the Articles of Re- ligion. The Royal Commissioners declined to bear the Rev. Mr. Brownjobn. After leaving the church Mr. Brownjobn dis- tributed leaflets to persons outside the building. It was well known that this was not the individual protest of Mr. Brownjohn—that influential and powerful lorces stood in his shadow. These forces are not of the “high church’ school, but, on the contrary, of the low churcn or evangelical school. Bishop Keane's New Officr. of funds. Jordan paid the fine and was released.

Purchased a Pair of Horses Claimed b;l\d an alameda Man. EUREKA, CAv., Jan. 8.—Last July the large grocery firm of A. C. Dauphiny & Co. of this city made what they considered ashrewd bar ain in horseflesh by pur- chasing a pair of hali-starved horses for $35 from Henry Strong, who drove them up from Alameda County. With good care the animals were soon restored to condition, but now, just when the horses are begin- ning to prove their good qualities in the firm’s delivery wagons, & third party steps in and claims them. This ope Crowley of Alameda, who in aletter to the firm claims that the horses were stolen from him and demands their return. So far, however, Crowley has failed to establish the fact of theft or his right to the horses. Strong, who is still here. is said to belong to & wealthy family in Oakland, ahd it is believed that while there may be a differ- erence in money matters between him and Crowley, there has been nothing criminal in the transacti e T Presidential Electors to Meet BACRAMENTO, CaL..

XEW TO-DAY. THE SICK ARE CURED. The Depression Caused by Disease Is Dispelled. ISEASES, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF a chronic nature, cannot be cured ex- cept by.a treatment that strikes directly at the oot of the trouble. The new, origi- nal and marvelous method of treating dis- eases tnat is pursued at the State Electro- Medical Institute is one that never fails.
