HAVANA TO BE DESIEGED BY MAXIMO GOMEZ WITHIN SIXTY DAYS— MACEO REDUCES A VILLAGE. New York, Nov. 1. — A dispatch to the Herald from Key West, Fla., says: "A prominent Cuban resident of this city said to your correspondent that, without assuming the role of a prophet, the Herald could positively announce that the city of Havana would be basieged by Maximo Gomez within the next sixty days. To that end, he said, Gomez and all the rebel forces were now marching westward toward the capital. This Cuban is in direct communication with the insurgent leaders in the field, and is the local medium through whom all insurgent correspondence for the New York junta passes. He also stated that there was no confirmation of a rumor circulated by Cuban passengers who arrived last night, that the towns in the immediate outskirts of the city of Havana had been already besieged by the insurgents." New York, Oct 29 — A dispatch from Key West, Fla., says: Well-informed pasengers who have arrived from Havana confirm advice received by mail that Maceo has grossed the trocha at Artemisa and joined other insurgent forces in Havana province. They declare that the report circulated by Maceo of his encampment at Cacarajuaca and a contemplated attack on that town was merely a feint of the rebel leader to concentrate the Spanish troops at that point'. That the ruse was successful is proved by the fact that General Gonzalez Munoz, with one of his parishioners that if Bryan were elected he would preach his next Sunday's sermon with his clothes turned inside out. If McKinley were elected, the parishioner was to attend the services with his clothes turned inside out. EUREKA SERINGS, (Ark.), Nov. 1. — Two farms, each of 440 acres and valued at $5 an acre, or $2200 each, have been wagered here on the result of the election in Illinois. R. T. Sticknoy of Carthage, Mo., representative of Jasper county in the Missouri Legislature, bet James T. Pomeroy of this city that Bryan will carry Illinois. Deeds to the two farms have been deposited in a local bank. LOVE FOUND A WAY. MARRIED BY CONTRACT FOUR MONTHS AGO, FOLLOWED BY A CHURCH WEDDING LAST WEEK. San Francisco, Oct. 29. — In a half-lighted church with long shadows about the sheeted pulpit and up and down the aisles, Dr. Frank Donaldson and Miss Ethel Chase Sprague were married this afternoon. The talented young actress who was not long ago a much-admired belle in Washington society, was unattended, and the brilliant physician, known in all the capitals of the world, stood all alone, save for the presence of an old friend of the bride's family, while Dr. W. W. Chase said the words which joined them. And there, in old Howard Methodist Church, under such conditions, was ceded a romance whose story touches both shores of the continent and whose deconeunt will interest social circles in more than one eastern city. The couple met years ago when one was a society bud and the other a man about town, married, but not happily. Through all these years the attachment has grown. After the young actress sought fame behind the footlights and gained it, she became engaged to the young physician. The young people came to San Francisco early in the year. Miss Sprague was offered an engagement with the Frawley Company, but this fell through and she was spending the summer visiting friends when the fate were kind to the two continent-divided lovers. Dr. Donaldson, who comes of that Baltimore family whose seions have made names in every walk of life there, was unhappily married and had for some time been living apart from his wife. SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS Near Hagerstown, Illinois, Edward strong was out quail hunting with his wife; Mrs. Armstrong could not see her hand who was on the other side of the fence fired at a copy of birds, the charge stained blown by a gust of wind off the plaflet her husband in the back of the needle killing him almost instantly. Mrs. Clara Guwikok, on route to Angeles from her home in Lexington in passing from one Pullman to another blown by a gust of wind off the plaflet a Santa Fe train near Braddock, Kan., was stunned and lay on the frosty ground for several hours. She was plecked up will recover. Louis J. Hanchett and Chauncey C., were expelled from the Chicago colony which they were students for throwing at Bryan. They were released at B request. Neither of the students was ent when the principal, O. M. Powers, ally announced their expulsion to 250 dents in the institution. The announcement was received in silence. An attempt was made to assassinate Q. Zilwecki, pastor of the Polish Catholic church, at Stevens Point, Wis., night. Zilwecki's parsonage was being two weeks ago. At his new home night two shots were fired through a door, one of which grazed the head of housekeeper. A row has existed between church for a long time. No arrests been made. The priest is now on trial an alleged assault on the church janitor. The Civic Federation of Chicago asked the Chief of Police to take a hail the "button evil" which has become sad of late. Officers of the association brought to the attention of the police number of lapel "buttons" bearing objection inscriptions, and in a short note asked the police make an effort to have them pressed by arresting the manufacturer persons who sell them. Many of the scriptions on the battons are illustrated indecent pictures to better demonstrate their double meaning. The police begin an anti-button crusade. The rotten rope of an elevator in Louis building caused the death of Raheberg, a night watchman at the pipe factory of Hirsh and Bondheim North Main Street, while alone, and eleven hours his body served as food for New York, Oct. 29 — A dispatch from Key West, Fla., says: Well-informed pasengers who have arrived from Havana con firm advice received by mail that Maceo has pressed the trocha at Artemisia and joined other insurgent forces in Havana province. They declare that the report circulated by Maceo of his encampment at Cacarajucca and a contemplated attack on that town was merely a feint of the rebel leader to concentrate the Spanish troops at that point. That the rage was successful is proved by the fact that General Gonzalez Munoz, with large forces, was sent in that direction to attack Maceo, but upon their arrival at Cacarajucca the Spaniards found nothing but a deserted camp. Maceo's followers, under forced marches, then made a detour to the southward and suddenly appeared at Artemisia, the central post on the line of the trocha. Giving his men temporary rest, the insurgent chief word to the commandant that he intended to bombard the town, giving the inhabitants five hours in which to leave the city. Not heeding Maceo's threats, the Spaniards would permit no one to leave. The result is known from the reports which have already been cabled from Havana. Maceo opened fire on the town with his artillery and thirty shots from the rebel dynamite gun were thrown into the city. Every building is said to have been leveled, while the slaughter of non-combatants was appalling. During the carriage Maceo and his followers crossed the line of the trocha into Havana province, where they were joined by the forces of General Aguirre. HAVANA, Oct. 31. — Montalvo, an oculist and a member of the local Central Autonomist Committee; a planner named John O'Naughton, Antonio Escobar, members of a secret association have been deported to the Island of Fernando, off the west coast of Africa, one of the penal settlements of Spain. La Discussion was suppressed by the Government for printing a leading editorial, of which Ecobar was the author, commenting upon the suggestion of the joint intervention of the United States and Mexico with the view of settling the Cuban question. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 30. — A special from Fernandina, Fla., says: Captain Lomm, of the filibuster Daintree, now lying under the guns of the revenue cutter Windom, says he is going to Jacksonville to-morrow. Captain Hand of the Windom says he will sink the tug it she moves. Lomm replied, "All right; get ready with your small boats to pick up my men, for I shall certainly make the attempt." JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 31. — As soon as the tug Dauntless was released from quarantine to day at Fernandina Capt. Hand of the revenue cutter Windom placed an armed force of men aboard. The owners of the tug then dismissed the crew and the government is now in sole control. The seizure was owing to the refusal of the tug owners to pay a fine of $500 for leaving Jacksonville and going into a foreign port without clearing. NEW YORK, Oct. 31. — A dispatch from London says the Globe in an editorial tonight declares that should the insurrection succeed, Spain would not lose much by quitting its hold on Cuba. With the island's two stable industries almost ruined beyond mending, the termination of the rebellion must endow Spain with a veritable white elephant. For a long time afterward she would have to maintain an army of occupation to prevent another uprising, and as the revenue receipts would be next to nothing, the Madrid treasury would have to find money. In the presence of this dismal prospect the Spanish people would do well to consider the question whether Cuba is worth retaining. If it is Spain should use all possible dispatch in accomplishing its pacification, either by concession or conquest. The couple met years ago when one was a society buddies and the other a man about town, married, but not happily. Through all these years the attachment has grown. After the young actress sought fame behind the footlights and gained it, she became engaged to the young physician. The young people came to San Francisco early in the year. Miss Sprague was offered an engagement with the Frawley Company, but this fell through and she was spending the summer visiting friends when the fates were kind to the two continent-divided lovers. Dr. Donaldson, who comes of that Baltimore family whose soils have made names in every walk of life there, was unhappily married and had for some time been living apart from his wife. He was the accepted lover of the young actress who pined by the Pacific while he fretted by the Atlantic till the courts set him free. This was on July 14. A few days ago a rumor came from New York that a young Baltimoreian of a distinguished family and an actress had been married in this city. To-day Dr. Donaldson was found. He admitted that the rumor was correct, stating that he and Miss Sprague had been married by contract July 20, but refused to go into details. Finding his romance was bound to become public property, he made haaste and arranged and carried out the wedding of today to disarm criticism and forestall comment. The quietness of the marriage four months ago was not without purpose. There were in the eyes of the young people many reasons why the world should not know of their happiness. Miss Sprague's mother, the brilliant Kate Chase Sprague, objected strenuously to the choice of her daughter. So much so that the daughter was constrained to leave home. For several years she has made the stage her life. Dr. Donaldson, on his arrival here, opened offices, and was legge of Physicians and Surgeons, and was received by his fellow practitioners with good will. The young couple lived quietly in the Western Addition, meeting only a few people. But she could not keep her happiness to herself, and several friends in the East board of it all, and then it was known here. And so came about the second public marriage. Mrs. Donaldson, when seen to day, said her mother had taken an unreasonable dislike to the doctor, so she left home in Washington and took an engagement with Frawley. THE SUGAR CAMPAIGN RESUME OF THE PRODUCTION OF SUGAR AND THE ITEMS OF EXPENDITURE AT THE CHINO SUGAR MILL. From the Champion. The big sugar manufacturer is gradually closing down, as a monster engine would blow off steam until the power is exhausted. The gates were kept open all day Monday for the reception of beers, but only a few loads were delivered, showing that the crop is practically all harvested and delivered. There are but about 200 tons of poor beets left in the field. Our informant last week concerning the tonnage left out was in error. Since Monday the evaporators and Steffen plant has been operating on syrup and molasses. An idea of the volume of the work done may be gained from following partial statement of receipts of supplies and materials received during the season for production, repairs and improvements, amounting to 1431 carloads in carload lots; or 27/841 tons; but probably to-day or tomorrow all will be silent. The campaign has lasted practically just three months, and has been a busy time in China. Hundreds of men have been given employment and money amounting into hundreds of thousands worth of dollars placed in circulation: Beets—Chino, tons: 47,000 " Anaheim, tons: 9,500 Buena Park, tons: 5,500 The rotten rope of an elevator in Louis building caused the death of Raheberg, a night watchman at the pipe factory of Hurah and Bendheim North Main street, while alone, and eleven hours his body served as food for While loading the elevator it gave near him, and he fell with it a distant forty feet. He must have been killed stantly. The accident occurred shortly o'clock Tuesday night of last week. Raheburg was alone in the building swarm of rats lost no time in attacking body. They gawed at the ears, noses hissing out large pieces of flesh mutilating the body in a horrible manner. Samuel Hill of Santa Ana has instituted proceedings against that city, W.

QUEER ELECTION BETS ONE DALLAS MAN MUST WEAR THE OTHER'S CLOTHES——TURNING THEIR CLOTHES INSIDE OUT. There are two men in Dallas, Tex., who are as different in their build as they are in their politics. One is a McKinley gold man and the other is a Bryan silverite. One is short and fat, not more than five feet four inches in height, although he weighs rather more than 25 pounds. The other is as slim as a rail, and could make money as a living skeleton in a dime museum show, as he is six feet two inches in height. The two men are great friends, however, and one day, while engaged in the luxury of a joint debate on the issues of the day, the fat man proposed with the thin man that they make a wager. The terms proposed were that if McKinley won the fat man was to wear a suit of the thin man's clothes for a month, while on the other hand, if Bryan were to come out at the top of the poll, the thin man would wear the other's clothes for the same length of time. The friends are very much interested in the outcome of the novel wager, although it is suggested that the thin man has rather the better of the wager, for he will be covered, except at least as much as the average bicycler exposes, while the fat man could not get into the thin man's raiment without bursting it. Over in Walsenburg, Colo., where there are coal mines and where humor takes a very practical form, and a joke often implies a cracked crown, two miners—John Welch and Tom Carberry—have made a most peculiar wager. The loser agrees to go to the bottom of a 20-foot shaft, and detaching the bucket, take the rope in his teeth and allow the winner to draw him to the surface by means of the windlass. The only condition imposed on the winner is that he shall use as much care, expedition and caution as he would in bringing to the top of the shaft a bucket of coal.

Trial and Test. Prove that Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best, in fact, the one true blood purifier. The great cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla have been accomplished through purified blood. Sorotula, salt rheum, oezema, rheumatism, neuralgia, yield to Hood's Sarsaparilla because it eradicates the last vestige of those impairments which have been developing perhaps for years, in the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures nervousness by feeding the nerves upon pure, rich blood. It absolutely and permanently cures when all other medicines fail because Hood's Sarsaparilla always strikes at the root of the disease, which is in the blood. Thousands testify that they have been absolutely cured of blood diseases by Hood's Sarsaparilla although they were discouraged by the failure of other medicines to give any relief. No other medicine has such a record of cures. MORE THAN HE BARGAINED FOR.

He is very popular in his neighborhood, and since he has read the letter and reply to his neighbors, they do not doubt that his commission will be renewed by McKinley. Seven hundred quartes of nitro-glycerine in the Empire magazine near Geneva, Ind., exploded at 3:40 o'clock Saturday morning. The concussion was felt for miles around. Hundreds of windows were blown out and walls were ornaked and chimneys torn down. A wagon was unloading at the magazine, but no trace of wagon, horses or man can be found. A larger quantity of nitro-glycerine stored in the Hermes magazine not more than seventy-five yards away did not explode, though a portion of the wall was blown in. The special train bearing John P. Irish, the Democratic erator, following the Bryan train, in its journey through Nebraska on Monday, the last day of the campaign, collided with a freight train east of Malcolm and smashed the engine of Irish's train and completely demolished the caboose of the freight train. John T. Tipling of Lincoln, a commercial traveler riding in the caboose, was killed. The freight train had orders to sidetrack, but the engine stalled and before the flagman could be sent out the special crushed into it. The special was provided with another engine and went on the road. Charles Doran, a business man of Glendale, O., took a pinch of snuff for a cold. So severe was the sneezing that followed that the inferior oblique muscle of the left eye was ruptured, and as he continued to sneeze the exertion forced the eye out of its socket. Doran says he felt as if something had broken in his head. With his eye he saw the left optic hanging down his cheek. Dr. Heady replaced the eye and applied a lotion to the muscle. The eye was then bandaged so it could not fall out again. Dr. Heady believes the eye is not destroyed. One of Hugh Jennings' foul flies may cost the Baltimore baseball club $5000. Mrs. Carolina B.

During the past season herds of elk numbering from 200 to 400 have been seen at various times and the deer are fully as plenty. Bears are getting too numerous and steps must be taken to get rid of them. They are so bold that they will enter camps of tourists and cannot be driven out. The laws governing the park will not permit the killing of them. The marriage of Miss Clara R. Miller of Kansas City to C. J. Loss of Phoenix, A. T., in Denver last Wednesday night was the culmination of a romance in real life. Miss Miller is an enthusiastic antiquarian and while in California in 1891 she wrote to Mr. Loss, who is interested in the Casa Grande ruins, for a relic. This correspondence was continued until last week, up to which time neither one had seen the other. A meeting was arranged in Denver, and Wednesday night the Rev. Mr. Sanderson of the Methodist Episcopal Church performed the ceremony. Mr. Loss is extensively interested in cattle and mining in Arizona. He and his bride left for an eastern trip, after which they will return to Phoenix to live. James Kelley, a Butte, Mont., miner, well known about town, quarreled with his sweetheart, Jessie Hill, and accused her of being untrue to him. She taunted him about his jealousy, whereupon he drew a revolver and fired a shot at her, striking her on the left side of the head. He then turned the weapon on himself and sent a bullet through his brain. Death was instantaneous, but the girl may recover. The couple were engaged, but the girl recently experienced a change in her feelings, and tried to rid herself of her young Lochinvar. The young woman had been proprietor of a restaurant, and Kelly was one of her customers, but in order to get rid of him she sold out and changed her place of residence. Kelly found her and visited her room. He renewed his pleas that she marry him, and she laughed at him. This enraged him, and the shooting resulted. Kelley was 32 years old, had been married before, and has a daughter living in Illinois. The Secretary of Indiana State Health Board has a case reported from Columbus, where a man persisted in kissing his sweet-heart, who is ill of diphtheria, by which he also contracted the disease.

He must have been killed in the accident occurred about 8 Tuesday night of last week, when a large was alone in the building. A rat lost no time in attacking the they gnashed at the ears, nose and tearing out large pieces of flesh and being the body in a horrible manner. Jael Hill of Santa Ana has instituted investigations against that city, W. S. Whitfield, B. Lewis and Henry Carpenter, three members of the Board of Trustees of the Santa Ana, Orange and Tustin Railway Company, D. H. Thomas, Hervey, F. P. Nickey, M. A. Menedd E. J. Tole, for judgment of court notice that the sale of a franchise to love street railway company is void, illand no effect. Hill says he was given that bids would not be opened for sale of a franchise to operate cars on street, in the city of Santa Ana, and sole assured him he would not put in himself or associates; that, noting up with representations and well known sightings, he refrained from bidding upon恋害; that had it not been for these instances, he would have bid a much figure than that at which the franchise made August 27 last, upon the application E. J. Tole. The franchise requires operation of cars from the north city to Second street; each motor car is to use additional passenger car attached; requires the company to grade and restreet between the rails. The plainness in conclusion that the route of the road and that advertised in the ordee is not the same, hence the sale of恋害 was illegal and void. The asks asked to annul the proceedings bound the purported sale to the parties using the street-railway syndicate. Yany Manur who lives near Tia Juana, American side, is in trouble below the line. Last Monday week he started his Mexican wife to visit her parents, nine miles below the line. They intend remain only a short time, and took little luncheon with them. They are Mexican horse. The barns and were of American manufacture. Night Mansur was awakened at the home wife's parents and placed under arrest since of rurales, sitting under orders of Judge Joaquin Zanuaca, Justice of Peace Juana. The charge against him was calling a wagon and harring into Mexico, nor was greatly surprised, as he had freely had occasion to cross the line and never been molested, the officials know well and noting that he always acted for property taken back and forth. It was explained to Mansur that a law had been enacted, requiring that article taken into Mexico with the intention of returning it to the American side be bonded in order to provide against恋害. The law has been in effect in form all time, but has never unforced against neighbors who are known to the officers. The sentenceenced by Zanzeta against Mansur was $680 or five years in jail. This gross sentence received with another engine and went on the road. Charles Doran, a business man of Glendale, O., took a pinch of snuff for a cold.

Newman, a woman much interested in the game, on October 22 occupied a seat in the grand stand at the game between the Philadelphia and the Orioles. She was no more than fairly interested in the proceedings, when a wicked fly from Jennings' bat invaded the grand stand and coming in contact with her, did her, she says, violent injury. She takes the ground that the club is responsible for the safety of its patrons while the latter are enjoying such scientific baseball as the article put up by Jennings, and asks $5000 for damages. This is the first case of the kind on record. Railroad employees at the Grand Central passenger station at Chicago the other night thought the advance guard of the army had arrived when the Baltimore and Ohio fast express pulled into the station. The United States Express Company had a special car attached to the train, and all except one little corner of the car was filled with men who carried revolvers and guns with bristling bayonets. In the little corner was sufficient wealth to satisfy a dozen gangs of train robbers if they had secured it. The wealth consisted of gold amounting to a legal tender value of $2,250,000. It had been shipped in Chicago but it was transferred from the express car to the Rand-McNally building next morning. The transfer was due to the fact that the Chicago sub-treasury was taxed to relieve the recent strain on the sub-treasury in San Francisco. Col. George B. Sperry of Stockton, manager of the Sperry Flour mills in that city, has sent to Gov. Budd his resignation as member of the Governor's staff, and also as commissioner to manage the Yosemite Valley and Mariposa big trees. Col. Sperry was greatly angered when he read the Governor's speech made in San Francisco last Monday week, and his action in severing his official relations is based on the stand taken by Budd. Sperry, in his letter, says: "I do not wish to be connected in an official capacity with you after your speech delivered in San Francisco, when you deliberately charged employers with bribing and coercion, and employees with corruption and cowardice (for an employee must necessarily be cowardly who would be coerced.) You must remember these are the people who supported you in 1894 and made it possible for you to become Governor of California. Have you so little regard for the intelligence of American labor as to believe that in the short period of two years they have become eligible to the jockass parade," to quote your own words? I consider your remarks intemperate, demagogic and false, and unbecoming to the dignity and honor which your high office imposes upon you. I believe the people will repudiate your insults at the polls on Tuesday." Sperry has had printed the following, which was in every employ's pay envelope Monday: "To morrow, election day, the Sperry and Union Mills will be closed down, and you are at liberty for the day. Work will be resumed Wednesday. The company expressly desires to impress on your minds that each and every individual employee, as a free American citizen, is entitled to and should give a free, full and fair expression through the ballot to his sentiments and views in regard to the issue to be determined on that day. In other words, in casting your ballot, vote as you please, Sherman Rowland, a wealthy farmer of McPherson, Kan., quarreled with his wife and beat her. They then separated, after which a reconciliation followed. Mrs. Rowland expressed a desire to visit her relatives, but her husband objected. She hired a driver and called in City Marshal Wolf to prevent her husband from delaying her. Wolf no sooner arrived than Rowland began firing a 45 caliber revolver at them. Mrs. Rowland and Wolf each received a bullet in the arm. Rowland then sprang on his horse and rode rapidly into country, and shot himself through the heart. Previous to the tragedy Rowland bore a good reputation in the community in which he lived. He was a quiet peaceable kind of man and was never known to quarrel with any one. He very seldom drank and when he did he never imbibed to excess. The only motive that can be assigned for his rush dewd was jealousy. His wife was comely and he thought she was flattered by the attentions of other men. He may have mistaken Wolf for one of his wife's admirers. John P. Glacken, postmaster at the little town of Oak Grove in the upper part of the State, has been indicted by the Federal grand jury on a charge of practicing petty fraud on the government. According to the evidence presented before the grand jury by the postal inspectors he has managed to appropriate between $300 and $600 of people's money, to which he had no right, and for which he can be held accountable under the postal laws. The postoffice at Oak Grove is a fourth-class office, and only pay that the postmaster receives is in shape of the commission for the stamps he sells. Some time ago the attention of the authorities was called to fact that Glacken was making requisition on the department for much larger quantities of stamps than was warranted by the business passing Juana. The charge against him was calling a wagon and harness into Mexico. He was greatly surprised, as he had never had occasion to cross the line and never been molested, the officials known well and noting that he always acted for property taken back and forth. It was explained to Mansur that a new had been enacted, requiring that particle taken into Mexico with the intention of returning it to the American side be bonded in order to provide against it. This law has been in effect in a good form all the time, but has never unforced against neighbors who are unknown to the officers. The sentenceenced by Zazueta against Mansur was set at $680 or five years in jail. This grossive sentence was received with satisfaction by the unfortunate prisoner, but utterly unable to raise such a sum. He was forwarded to Ensenada and the court will follow. He will appeal to the States Vice Consul Godbe for protection of his case by some court authority than the petty tribunal of Juana. It is thought the sentence revoked when the facts are placed before Ensenada authorities. William H. Alford, chairman of the Democrat State Central Committee, was evicted a much-surprised man when he received bitter the first of the week from Israel, postmaster at Burwood, a rural cross-office near Stockton. The postmaster of this office was surprised when he got a letter from the chairman, and the two are probably acquainted with each other's political ties. Wood is a little place where a few houses are clustered together, where a store or two and a congregating farmers. The postmaster of this office is the gentleman before them, the office was established away from the '60s. He has held the office since it being a Republican settlement, Democrat being able to get the office. Days ago he was surprised to receive a letter read as follows: Suppose you have the interests of theocratic party at heart. It cannot be said that those who are not receiving will contribute to our fund if those holding office under the administration not be. We suggest that it would be for you to contribute 3 per cent of your salary to the cause of Democratic. If that is not satisfactory, any reason would be satisfactory to the Committee." Letter was signed by William H. Almond made the following reply: We inform you that I have been a Republican ever since the Democrats won the American flag at Ft. Sumter. Appointed to this office in 1865 by Gen. Benson of honored memory and am this coming all I can in my humble way to Mr. Bryan, Tillman, Altgold, Coxey I request you to consider your remarks intemperate, demagogic and false, and unbecoming to the dignity and honor which your high office imposes upon you. I believe the people will repudiate your insults at the polls on Tuesday." Sperry has had printed the following, which was in every emplove's pay envelope Monday: "To morrow, election day, the Sperry and Union Mills will be closed down, and you are at liberty for the day. Work will be resumed Wednesday. The company expressly deserves to impress on your minds that each and every individual employe, as a free American citizen, is entitled to and should give a free, full and fair expression through the ballot to his sentiments and views in regard to the issue to be determined on that day. In other words, in casting your ballot, vote as you please, without our favor." The University of California agricultural department and Abbott Kinney of Los Angeles are at daggers drawn, the issue being whether or not private citizens may plank flowers and gather boughs at will in the State experiment stations. The matter will fall to the regents to decide at their next meeting. They will also consider the resolutions covering Kinney's side of the question, which were sent to them. The resolutions complain that the Santa Monica forestry station is not being managed for the best interests of the people, and they ask that greater liberty be extended to scientific men to pursue their studies. They were issued from the head quarters of the Democratic County Central Committee at Los Angeles, and have been approved by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the Southern California Academy of Sciences, the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors. The trouble is an aftermath of the abolition of the State Forestry Commission. Kinney was a member of the commission when it was abolished by the State, and its duties turned over to the Agricultural College. The regents passed again a set of rules for the experiment stations, plainly reiterating the former regulations against trespassing, which were said to be, however, less stringent than those in other parts of the world. Kinney was apprised of the nature of the existing rules, but, according to the report of the station foreman, the ardent arborologist has gone on with the cutting of boughs and the appropriation of seed. He is making a special study of the eucalyptus, and there are many valuable specimens in the Santa Monica station. The rules passed by the regents allow speciemens to be given to students, provided application is made to the foreman, who is supposed to gather them. The aim which Kinney and his followers openly say they have in view is the turning over of the Santa Monica forestry station and the Pomona experiment station to the Southern California Academy of Sciences, or the University of Southern California. John P. Glacken, postmaster at the little town of Oak Grove in the upper part of the State, has been indicted by the Federal grand jury on a charge of practicing petty fraud on the government. According to the evidence presented before the grand jury by the postal inspectors he has managed to appropriate between $300 and $600 of the people's money, to which he had no right, and for which he can be held accountable under the postal laws. The postoffice at Oak Grove is a fourth-class office, and the only pay that the postmaster receives is in the shape of the commission for the stamps he sells. Some time ago the attention of the authorities was called to fact that Glacken was making requisition on the department for much larger quantities of stamps than was warranted by the business passing through the office. The postal inspectors were notified and conducted a quiet investigation that developed that Glacken was appropriating the greater portion of the stamps he received to his own use, paying his debts with them at face value wherever possible. Recently Glacken purchased a house and lot from an investment company, and it was found that he had been paying his regular installments in postage stamps. It is impossible to say just what extent Glacken has carried this species of petty fraud, but as nearly as the inspector can learn he has managed to better himself to the extent of over $300 and possibly as much as $600. The sub treasury at San Francisco pulled through a rather serious run, which threatened to annihilate its gold reserve and leave it without a dollar with which to redeem the perfect avalanche of greenbacks poured in over the counters. Timely aid came from Chicago and other sources, and when the outpouring of gold finally stopped the $12,-000,000 of a few months ago, despite frequent additions that have been made during that period, was reduced to a bare $4,000,-000. For once the sub-treasury halt on hand more greenbacks than it wanted. In two weeks' time $10,000,000 of them were dumped over the counters and the gold they represented withdrawn. There was something like $7,000,000 in gold in the vaults when the run commenced. Chicago was appealed to for aid, and sent $3,000,000, and an equal amount was secured from the mint, while the $1,500,000 in British sovereigns recently received from Australia were counted into double eagles at the mint/and carted to the sub-treasury. Only $4,000,000 of that amount was left after the flurry was over. That has since increased by the deposit of over $1,000,000 upon which greenbacks have been withdrawn, and there is every indication that the flurry is over. Much of the gold withdrawn went beyond the mountains. The sub-treasuries at San Francisco and New York are the only ones authorized to redeem greenbacks. Usually the demand for greenbacks is steady at the sub treasury at San Francisco, as exchange is almost invariably in favor of New York, and it costs less to ship greenbacks than gold.
