While there 1= a desire to dis- credit the Lokal Anzelger's statement, fts publication has oocasioned undoubted uncasiness, because the consummation of such a plan would be a diplomatic stroke unfavorable to France and Russia. The possession of Delagoa Bay is believed to | be essential to British success in South Africa, as a victory over the Boers is es- sential to Great Britain's international | prestige. Therefore it is felt that if neces. | sary Great Britain will take extreme easures.

E. Wood, an Angels Camp at- torn: entered the office of the Calaveras Citizen just before press time and pled four news forms, nearly ready for press, a job form and galley of type. The act was committed while he was enraged over a number of articles which appeared in the Citizen, reflecting upon him as an at- torney and a citizen. Just prior to the act Wood met the editor of the Citizen, C. O. Zeigenfuss, on the street and demanded to see what was in the paper about him this week. Zeigenfuss denied the request, saying he could see when the paper was printed, and after a few words, walked away. Wood went directly to the office, forced the door and did the job.

The department claims that the quaran- tine station on Angel Island is not cap- able of accommodating the large number of lmmlfr-lnls and Congress no doubt will be asked to appropriate additional money. The increase of commerce at San Fran- clsco necessitates expediting the quaran- tine of ships at that port and appropria- tion for the rvice will have to be largely uphold the station. Senator Is assured that this appropriation will be granted by the Senate at an early date and will § t before the committee that this is the only way to insure effi- ciency.
