It has inspired no wars for conquest, but to-day, through its wise and pesceful counsels, it controls the govern- niel policy of the western continent. The 6nroe doctrine has thus become the doctrine of peace. The United States was made one Nation by the stitution, d yet the quesiion whether Am n_netionality or State sovereignty thould hold the mastery .occupied the public mind for many years. This was largeiy due to the fact that the American colonies (afterward ates of the Union) maintained local amentslong before the Union was ce- mented together into one Nation by the con- stitution. The people has thus become at- tached 1o their State before the United Staies was in existence. For the first seventy years of our constitutional history the problem of Staf sovereignty, or State rights, was the e of most of ihe political divisions among people. Some leading statesmen claimed to owe their first allegiance to their Btaie and not to the Nation, The preambie of the National constitution this matier, however, at rest.

O. F., by District Deputy Grand Master Mer- schon and his staff, Frank E. Smith, the retiring noble grand, was presented a handsome past grand’s jewel in token of the esteem in which he is held by the members of the lodge. After the presen- tation and the transaction of routine busi- ness there was an informal smoker, and all the members had a general good time. Short but interesting addresses were made by the district deputy and visitng 0dd Fellows. At a meeting of this lodge held last night one member was admitted by a deposit of card and two were initiated, the work be- ing done in a credirable manner by Noble Grand A. P. Ely, assisted by the other officers of the lodge. This lodge was organized about six years ago and was named for the late Aaron A. Sargent, who was a United States Senator from lifornia.

She had retired to rest and was awakened by aloud knocking at her bedroom door. On inquiring what was wanted Herman Cobn, a son of the pro- prietor of the lodging-house, told her he wanted to see her, “1 refused to open the door,” she said yesterday, “and he begged me to do it just for a minute. 1 got up and opened thedoor. I saw be had been drinking, but before I could shut the door he thrust himself in the room. “He said he would fix me in two min- utes for showing favors to Nathan, his 15- year-old brother, and asked me for the rat poison his mo her hud bought, saying that he and I would swallow it and die together. I tola him I did not know where it was, and then he pulled a knife | was placed under arrest. | that of the woman. identified him. He was then taken to the City Prison and a charge of assault to murder was booked against him. The right wrist band of his shirt was covered with blood, and it was cut off and will be held as evidence against him, The woman is 28 years of age, and has { been in this City for the past six years. She gave birth to an illegitimate child about a year before coming to this Uity. She had been a servant in the Cohn lodg- ing-house for the past two months, and acknowledged to baving bestowed her favors upon the boy Nathan and his brother Herman, and that the latter was actuated by jealousy in making the mur- derous attack upon her. The wounds are not dangerous. Mrs. Mary E. Markey was the victim of a brutal assault about the same time the Quinones woman. She hives at Folsom street, her husband, Charles A. Markey, being an engineer on the water front. She had been visitinz her mother at 727 Clementina street Sunday night and left to return home shortly afier 11 o’ciock. As she was passing a stable at 374 Na- toma street a men who was standing at { the door accosted her in German and ) asked ber to come into t e stable. and he grabbed hold of her, forcing Ler toward the door. He placed his hand on her mouth to prevent her from screaming and when they got to the door it was opened by two men who were inside. She was carried upstairs to a room in the rear of the stable. She was kept there for half an hour and the man who accosted her on the street maltreated her and at- tempted to criminally assault her. He struck her in the face and tried to choke her, but she fought desperately and baf- fled the efforts of ‘the ruffian. Then he began to plead with her to live with him. During the struggle her purse contain- ing $3 15 was taken from her pocket and a gold ring irom her finger. She finally succeeded in making her escave, and she rushed home and told her husband of her treatment. He seized a putcher-kpife and was hurrying in the direction of the stable when he met Police- men T. F. Burke and McEntee. They accompanied him to the stable and found the three men. They were taken to Mrs. Markey’s Louse and she identified them. The man who accosted her is Gus Sor- ger, a teamster, 52 years of age, and he was charged with robbery and an attempt to commit a criminal assault. The other two men are Fred Gerhardy, a cook, 40 years of age, and William Roderwald, a laborer, 43 years of age. They were each booked' on a charge of robbery. The policemen returned to the room’ in the stable and found the purse and the ring. The prisoners were arraigned in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning. Mrs, Markey is confined to bed from the shock to her nervous system, and was too ill to appear in court yesterday. The third viciim was Mrs. Belle Nava, the wife of a barber living at 32514 Bush street. According to her story she was accosted on the street by three young men, who suggesied that she should ac- compa them. She knew one of them and walked along with them until they came to a building at Fourth and Howard streets, where Dr. Swain has a dental office. They asked her to go upstairs with them, but she declined, and two of them carried her up to the dental office by muin strength. There they chok d and beat her and tried to criminally assault her, Policeman James Cook and W. Meyer were notitied of the affair and they raided the place. They met Bilis Swain, a son of Dr. Swain, coming downstairs and he Proceeding to the dental office they found the woman on a lounge and James Mulvey beside her. She was under the influence of liquor. Her clothing was torn and there were marks of violence on herarms and throat. Swain and Mulvey, who gave the name | of Wilson, and the womun were taken to the City Prison. The two young men were booked on a charge of attempt to commit a ¢riminal assault and the woman for being drunk. Subsequently R. J. Thomas, an ex drummer, who was with Swain and Mulvey, was arrefted and booked for disturbing the peace. He did not go upstairs to_the dental office, but remained outside. Thomas pleaded guilty 1 Judze Joachimsen’s court vesterday and was ordered to appear for sentence to-day. The other two were arraigned. Muivey is a clerk in an attorney’s office and is a brother of Thomas Mulvey, a Deputy Coanty Clerk. The two young men’s story differs from They said they were in Abbott's saloon on Grant avenue, near Post street, when the woman came up to, them and said her lover had beat n her She showed bruiseson herarmsand throat ‘and said that she was afraid to go home, as he might go there and kill her, and she asked if they would take care of her.

I ran screaming out of the room and knocked &t two doors calling for help, but no one answered. “I was afraid Herman would renew his assault upon me, but on guing back to my room I found he was not there. I threw on my dress and ran to a doctor in the next block, but he would not attend to me, and then I met a policeman and was taken to the hospital.” Dr. Fitzgibbon found three woundson ber back, a deep wound in her abdomen and six wounds on her left hand. It took mm a considerable time to stitch ana dress the wounds, Herman Cohn called at the Central Po- lice Station about 1 o'clock yesterday morning and surrendered himself, ac- knowledging that he had done the stab. bing. He was under the influence of liquor, and refused to say why he had at- tempted to murder the woman. He was woman and took her to the dental rooms S0 that she could stop there all night. She complained of being hungry and it was while he was out to get some sandwiches for her that Swain says he was arrested by the policemen.

Watts of the State Mining Bureau Tells of His Investigations. Cattle Stick Fast and Die in Warm Asphaltum Like Fies on Flypap.r. The oil resources of California are being carefully investigated by the State Mining Bureau, which looks for a great develop- ment some day of the oil industry along the slopes of the Coast Range from San Francisco southward almost to the Mexi- can border line. The recent extensive explorations made in the southern part of the State by W. L. Watts of the Mining Bureau formed the subject of an interest- 1ng popular lecture given last night before the Academy of Bciences. The discourse was made additionally entertaining by a stereopticon display of about 200 views of the oil wells, bitumin- ous deposits and petroleum-bearing re- gions visited by the lgcturer. One of the views showed an asphaltum flow in which were sticks and stones and bones of animals. Sometimes, the lec- turer explained, cattle iie down in the as- phaltum when it is'warm; they never get up again. At other times, on warm days, cows attempt to walk through the soit black stuff, but they stay in it until they are rescued or until they die. In some localities, particularly in the Sespe oil regions of Ventura County, horizontal tunnels have been bored into the precipitous hillsides in search of oil flow. The gas accompanving the oil de- posit makes life in the tunneis impossible without a constant blast of fresn air sent in by water pressure. Some of the tunnels are lighted by in- candescent electric lights. Others are lighted simply by an ordinary mirror, op- erated by a man on the outside, so that the sun’s rays are reflected siraight into the tunnel. By this simple means light may be thrown in a distance of 1000 feet, ara with such power that ordinary news- paper print may be read by a person ab the far end of the tunnel. During his discourse Mr, Watts, whea describing the commercial aspects of his scientific explorations, spoke in substance as follows: The minerals of California consist not only of tnose from which metals are obtained, but lso of numerous other substances which are constantly becoming in greater demand as civilization advauces and as the arts and manufactures are further developed.Th e most important of the latter class of minerals are those known as the hydrocarbons. They are formed of the elements of nydrogen and carbon. They furnish light and ° heat end are utiized in many different ways which contribute (0 man’s comtort and well being. Tne hydrocarbon minerals treated in this lecture ate the vetroleums. Researches in various parts of the world | have led to the conclusion that petroleum de- posits may be divided into two classes, namely, primary &nd secondary deposits. The primary deposit 1s contained by the rocks in which the petrolenm was formed or originally accumu- lated. The secondary deposit is formed when petrolenm wanders from strata in which it originally accumulated and finds a resting place in other rocks which are fayorable to its storage. Primary deposits have been found to belong to definite geological horizons; that is to say, the rocky sirata containing such deposils have a definite position with regard to the other rocks which have been formed before and after them, and which, tuken together with the petroleum-ylelding rocks, constitute & geological series in the localiies where such deposits of petroleum are found. Such oil- yielding strata are coniormable to all the other strata included within_their geological horizon, and frequently the oiryielding rocks can be traced {om mountain to mountain wherever the characterisiic rocks representing therr geological horizon are exposed. The cecondary deposits are, 1n_the nature of their occurrence, erratic and local. In some cases it is difficult to distinguish primary from secondary deposits, but when rocks belonging 1o a certain geological horizon are found to be oil-bearing, not only in one place, but on different 10lds and in different localities, it may be assumed that such oil-bearing rocks belong to a primary deposit of petroleum. Another impertant question is that of the structure of the rocks which has resuited in the sccumulation of petroleum in valuable uantities. The characteristic structure of the formations is that of closeiy compressed anticlinal lolls. By far the greatest number of remunerative wels penetrate the rocks which form the upper portion of tiese folds, During the year 1895 about 1,250,000 bar- rels of oil were produced in Califoruia. Of this amount very nearly 1,000,000 oarrels were produced in Los Angeles Gounty, and something less than 250,000 in Ventura County. Jtis probable that the yield for 1896 will not fali very far short of thisamouut. The geologica. Lorizon of the oil-yielding rocks in the southern part of California is as follows: About Los Angeles, pliocene; and in the Puente district, older than pliocene. Tae petroleum deposits north of the valley of the Santa Clara River,in Ventura County, consist of dark-colored shales and soft sandstone de- posited belween the eocene and miocens pe- riod, and rocks deposited during the eocine period. The geological horizon of the ofl- yielding rocks at Summerland, Santa Barbara County, has yet to be determinea. The Los Angeles o1l and the Summerland ol is heavy; its priucipal value is for fuel. It is usualy estimated that from three and a half to four barrels ot it have a fuel value equal to that of about one ton of good bituminous coal. Mcst of th: Ventura Covnty oil is much lighter than the Los Angeles and Summe:- land oil. It is handled by the Union Oil Com- pany, which has a refinery at Oleum, Contra Costa County. The oil from the Puente wells and from the wells of the Pacific Coast Oil Company, near Newha 1, in Los Angeles County, is still lighter than the Ventura County oil. The Puente oil is refined by the Puente Oil Company. which has its works at Chino, in San Bernardino County. The Pico Canyon oil is refined by the Pacific Coast and the Star Oil Company 8t its works in Alameda County. PAOPOSED MINING LAWS Fighting for a Ccmmission to Pass on the Natare of Lands. Miners’ Association Preparing an Act Relative to Acquiring M ning Rizhts The miners of the State are watching Congress with a keen interest to see what action will be taken upon the several min- ing measures now before the National lawmakers. One in particnlar is House bill 4080, providing for & commission to determine upon the mineral or non- mineral nature of land in raiiroad grants. A. H. Ricketts, chairman of the commit- tee of mineral lands of the association, bas sent letiers to all the Pacific Coast members in Congress upon this matter, urging them by voice and vote to do all 1n their power to carry the bili. Several have sent replies. One from taken to the hospital and the woman Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. Senator George C. Perkins says that ke will give the matter his careful considera- tion. Congressman Eugene F. Loud in his answer_said: I have in the past and shall continue to use such influence as is in my power to further the measure.’” Congressman Hartmann made a similar promise. Senator Stephen M. White also promises to Go what he can, but he throws cold water over the matter by addingin conclusion: *1f Mr. Reed would consent to its preseniation to the House it would undoubtedly pass; but I am very much afraid that he will refrain from favorable action. Iam doing my utmost to force it througn.” The answer of Sen- ator George W. McBride shows that the measure has friends, for be writes as fol- lows: - * * * InreplyI have to saythat I ama member of the Committee on Public Lands taat coundemned the bill at the last session. As your letter states, the bill was amended so &s 10 include Orezon in its provisions, and the members of the (ragon delegation in Congress are unanimous in its support and very anxious that the bili shounid pass tne House of Repre- sentaiives at the present session. The executive committee of the associa- tion is not overlooking the State Le isla- ture and before the session is over will have prepared a number of measures that, it is believed, will be of grest benefit to the miners of the State. OQue matter which is of more than usual interest re- lates to the acquisition of mining rights upon public domain. The commitiee 10 which this matter was given (o irame an act was instructed to confine the proposed law to the foliowing purpose: The enactment of a law providing for the recording of notices of iocation, and making such notice whea recorded prima fucie evi- dence of the facts therein recited.
