WASHINGTON, Dec« 7.—Information has reached here from New York that Collis P. Huntington has practically concluded his deal for paying off the Government claim against the Centra) Pacific. The plan is to place a blanket mortgage for $106,000,000, upon the property at 4 per cent. As the net earnings of the road last year were $6,600,000, it is in a condition to take care of the interest on this mortgage and Wall street views the move with favor. All Questions Finally Settled. Paris, December 7th.—Judge Day, president of the American Peace Commission, announces that all questions have been settled and that the treaty will be signed in three or four days. The work remaining consists largely in drafting into language the conclusions reached. e New Countess of Strafford. _Nrw_Y.ork,-December-7,—Mrs:-—Sam= uel J.

The Farl and Countess of Strafford left for Washington, where they will spend a few days. They sail for England on Tuesday next.

The Grass Valley Union is shocked beyond expression because the TRANscript whilé in a serio-comic bumor yesterday called an anti-mining spy who was in town asknnk and said he deserved to be ducked in the nearest ditch. The Union says this spy “should receive the courtesies due a gentleman.” If be be entitled to'such courtesies he . iis built on a different plan from some of his predecessors who have been sent here by the Anti-Debris Association, for they won distinction as habitues of houses of ill-fame, bribe-takers and all-around scoundrels. In the TkaNscripr’s opinion a man who will hire out to do such work has no claims to the respectful consideration of the people of Nevada county, and although they may not have the hardihood to come out openly and say as much, years of observation shows that the people here, almost without exception, are-of a like opinion. “It is all very well to say, as the anti-miners _ and their sympathizers and organs do, that if the miners are complying with the law they have nothing to fear from these fellows, and that a protest against their presence is the next thing to an actual criminal’s objection to the restraints that the regularly constituted peace authorities and the provisions of the code impose upon him and hedge him about with; but this is not true, for the two cases are not parallel. The spy McAlpiue and his kind are the hirelings of a coterie of private citizens of a few/valley counties, and the ruling spifits of this combination are popalarly: Supposed to keep alive the agitation.for their own selfish purposes. [here is a marked division of opinion among the people of their own counties as to their sincerity’ and honesty of ‘purpose, as is frequently made manifest by the protests of numerous taxpayers of those counties to the constant drain upon their public treasuries for the money with which to hire the officers of the Anti-Debris Association and the lawyers and watchmen they give other sinecures to. The miners of California as reputaBaud Mave dh AGB ae eRE St ehlah against being hounded and _ harried while in the legitimate prosecution of their industry by McAlpine or any other of his stripe who are in reality nothing more nor less than the hired men of afew other men like Phipps, Green. & Co., and who to hold their job must in the language of the late lawyer Sexey “make a showing for their money,” whether the facts justify that showing or not. The Union says: “The old feud between the farmers and winers is at an end and such publications as this only tend to renew strife. The Miners’ Association is endeavoring to remedy the long-felt breech and the building the restraining dams has solved the problem.” Stuff and nonsense. The “feud” will never die out so far as the conspirators are concerned until the fat salaries of the agitators in that Association are counties who have been paying tribute to them for many years. These agitators are not in the game to “remedy the long-felt breech” as our contemporary feelingly remarks with such a disregard for what it means to say. The Anti-Debris folks do not want peace tocome, for it would cut: off their revenues. They do not want it any more than the Devil bimself wants to make a treaty with the powers of Heaven. . . the new ferry building, there is to be cut off by the tax-payers of their! for my sick spells were directly traceProper Exhibits. The State Board of Trade is going to extend the scope of its usefulness, and in the permanent exposition of the products of California to be established as soon as it is comfortably settled in an exhibition of the products and manufactures of the newest possession of America—the Philippine Islands. This is expected to draw crowds. The next meeting of the State Board of Trade will be an important one. It will be held a week from yesterday, and the principal matter to be discussed will be the formation of plans for the proper representation of California at the World’s Exposition in Paris in 1900. In conversation with the Report yesterday, W. H. Mills, whose efforts have always directed toward building up the State, said that there was some fear that the next Legislature would make no appropriation for the purpose. It was suggested that.a $200,000 appropriation had been talked of, but Mr. Mills said that as California would have only a limited space as part:of the space allotted to all of America, he would be personally opposed to asking for so much money.* _~ “They may. say,” he said, “that if we get $200,000 we need spend only what we have to.and turn the rest of it back, but every body knows that if a $200,000 appropriation be made all of it will be expened.” ‘ Mr. Mills has given the subject conclearly outlined. “T think,” said he, “that we ought to have an exhibition that would show the processes, for instance, that are used in drying fruits—the natural fruit, the fruit in process of drying, the fruit packed and so on. Then we ought to have canned fruitsand wine. It would be a good plan to have a lunch every day served at say a little less than cost, so that if we got $10,000 we could turn back into the funds $4,000 and the total cost would be only $6,000. I never could see what good it was to let people gaze and gaze at the outside of cans and jars of fruit. I don’t believe in that kind of an exhibition. What I do believe in is to give an exhibition of our products that will be the best the world has ever seen. Let us have a lunch that will enable the people to taste our fruits and our wines—have people to wait on the visitors and serve the lunch at a very small price— do it so cheaply as to have a constant run.of custom. The place to sell goods is where they are used. The place to sell California wines is where wine is freely used, and that is among the Latin races.” SICK SCHOOL CHILDREN. A Teacher Speaks of the Cause. I have charge of the second grade in the public schools here, and trace these children to improper feeding. When a sick child is asked what was had for breakfast, the reply almost universally includes a cup of coffee. An illustration is that of my sister’s oldest boy, Will Wilson of Lennox, Ia. For a long time he had no appetite for breakfast, but insisted on coffee, which they would give him, weakened some with cream, but no matter how little coffee he had, it brought ‘on his tad spells. Since they have been using Postum Food Coffee in their family, the boy is well and can have all of the Postum Coffee he wants for -breakfast. I was ordered by myphysician to quit the use of coffee some time ago, able to it, but I could not quit its use until. I found Postum. ‘Then the change did not disturb me in the appeared. I have a long list of friends who use Postum and enjoy it very much, but in every case they have had ‘to learn that Postum is only good when it is boiled long enough to bring out the flavor.

J. Harvey Helm, in early times one of the best known residents of this city and county and a leader of the Democracy here for years, died in San Francisco Monday at theage of seventytwo years. For years Mr. Helm owned and conducted the livery stable on Broad street now ‘belonging to James Hennessy. He built the dwellig house on Nevada street at present owney by C. J. Naffziger. In 1867 he was elected County Treasurer and served one term. In the seventies he:sold the Pennsy!vania mine just northwest of town for $60,000 and about 1875 removed to San Francisco with his family and began speculating in mining stocks. He met with a series of reverses and lost most of his wealth. Later he had charge of a mining operation in Arizona. Of late years he has not been engaged in any busines. Two sons survive Mr. Helm, his wife having died many years ago. ODO Pronounced Insane. Frank Martin, the young man arrested for insanity, was examined today and ordered taken to the Asylum.

This forenoon “Cap” Morrill, the mining operator, fell down a flight of stairs in the rear: of Mrs. Maloney’s lodging house on Commercial street. He was-found lying there speechless and helpless, and, it was feared he was seriously hurt, A physician was summoned and quickly determined that it was simply a case of plain drank. He was slightly bruised by ‘the fall, but nothing worse. Helped Out of Town. Wm. Fell, sent from Truckee to serve thirty days in jail, and two boys of the same place who have been down for sixty days,-were turned loose today, Chief of Police Carr escorted them to Colfax so Nevada county would not be . bothered with them any more. a eal Now On Trial.
