Reorganization Must™ Be Effected in Order 1o Protect the Sacurity Owners: - NEW * YORK, N.. Y.: Oct. 20.—The Times say; Louis W, Morrison, a broker of this vity,-has réquested holaers of stock of .the: Central Pacific railroad’ to send their names and addressés and a state- ment of their holdings. e also promises a statemint of interest to-the -stock- holders. At the offiee of Mr. Morrison yesterday the reasons.for his action . and its prompt- ing were. not given, on ‘the pléa that the platis were not. completed. "There was, the - typewritten circular ad- dtessed “To the Stockholders™: of the Cen- |- tral " Pacific ‘railroad, :which stated that _'the conviction was forced on. every. stock- holder: thiat. it was necessary- to .adopt " active measures for the protection of ‘their _ interests, - -. -E © . They..were satisfied that the' present condition® of: the road was due, not. to ‘natiral causes; but to ‘the inanagement under its' lease of ninely-years to the Southern. Pacific’ Company.. Its entire future depends_on some eflicient plan of reorgaization: Abrogation of the lease fo the Sounthern Pacific and the meeting * of the liabilities. to the United States, according to their tenor, are instanced o a basis for-reorganization. s . The propasition is that the stockholders shall subseribe for the hew issue of -bonds - %o the amount of the present first and © Government débts, less bonds exchanged. ‘The road shall therdupon be foreciosed by " the Government and boughtin by a com- mittee of stockboldefs fora new company, . which shall issue the 4 por cents to the present stockholders upon their subscrip- tions.

Y., Oct. 29,—Fraudu- lent citizens’ papers have been found in the possession of a number of Italians re- siding in this city. These papers bear the counterfeit seal of the Sup rior Court and the forged signatures of its chief clerk. One of the Ita ians found with the fraud- ulent papers in his possession stated that he bought it from a fellow-countryman for $10.

VANCOUVER NUGGET STORY. The Wife of a Minister Is Getting Wealthy Through the Energy of Her Ducks. VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 29.—Gold nuggets have often been found in the gizzards of British Columbia chickens—at least stories to that effect have been circu- lated—but heretofore there has been a vagueness about the stories iu their chief particulars. No one saw the nugget in the gizzard of the chicken or ever heard of the alleged man who told the story, but now there is a brand new gold nugget gizzard anecdote at hand, and this time the authoress is a well-known minister’s wife, and it would b2 both ungallant and disrespectful to guestion the truth of the statement. Mrs. A. E. Green of Eburn, B. C., about seven miles from Vancouver, informed a local paper that on the 22d of October she killed a six-month-old duck that had been raised in the parsonage yard, and when dressing it was astonished to find five fine gold nuggets, to the value of about $20, in its gizzard. Last New Year's, Mrs. Green avers, she found three gold nuggets in another duck, and from that time she never killed a duck without examining its interior ar- rangement for pay gravel. Now her rev- erend husband is” raising a large flock of ducks, which he will “grub stake” and send out to prospect the neighborhood in the vicinity of the parsonage. 3 Eburn_is the little town close to Van- couver where gold in black sand was re- cently broughe-up on a drill used'in bor- ing for water. There is known to bedin immense quantity of goid dust and nug- gets carried in, black sand on Lulu Istand, where Eburn is situated, but so far it has béen found too expensive to work with profit. The country in tue vicinity is fully staked out. LOS ANGELES LAND CASE One of the Most. Important Ever : Submitted to a California Court.

A tower of black smoke rising high in the calm sky and spreading out at the top like the foliage of a giant shade tree-is now pouring from the yellow tunneis.of the Oregon. It is 4 o’clock in the after- noon, and the battle-ship is about to get. under way for San Francisco. Captain Howison figures on geiting off the heads with plenty of time to spare so that he can “fool around’ a little if he wants to, and go in across the bar at high water to- morrow mornidg. That kind of wateris very necessary to the Oregon. When she is laden for a craise, fully equipped and "with all the stores aboard, the Ofregon draws not less than?26 feet of water. It takes 42 tons to sink tlie ship an‘inch 1 the water. Owing to this fact’ there has been ex- pressea aboard the Oregon on her presént cruise some doubt as to whether the giant battle-ship can get over the Columbia Rayer bar so as to steam up that river and the raging Wiilamette, 50 as to receive the set of beautiful silverware which the people of Portland have had especially made for the namesake of their State. There is just about that depth of water on the bar. k The Oregon will make her frst cruise north probably not before next spring, but if she is in command of her present com- mander, Captain H. I. Howison, she will run no risks in crossing the Columbia bar. As much as the captain and the wardroom mess would like to Have that siiverware they love deep water and fear the sea’s hottom more. 5o that it is quite pessible that the Ore- gon’s sideboards will not glitter with the silverware unless it is sent down to deep sea to her by a deleraticn of prominent ‘Weblfoot citizens on a tug or other vessel of light draft. There is no drydock on the Pacific Coast capable of taking the Oregon in when equipped, except the new Government drydock at Port Orchard on Puget Sound. There are whiskers four or five inches long and a studding of bar- nacles on the ship’s sides and bottom. She should have been in the drydock some time ago. [t was partly on account of hér foul bottom that on her present cruise the ship made only about seven knots the first day and eight to nine knots the second day with the same number.of boilers, the grass bhaving been considerably washed away. { The captain id going to burn three boil- ers on thie run back, and she will probably be let out a little more than on the way down. The navy regulaticns require # ship going into port to make " report on that port., The report on Monterey is not very extensive. Two of the .things that Assistant Secretary of the Navy Mc- Adoo will be told about Monterey is that fresh water for ships is about 50 cents a gallon, and that the surf is ordinarily" rather heavy for landing parties in ships’ boats. 23 Executive Officer Drake turned out this morning with the 1dea that he would clear the ship for action, and the news leaked out to the deck, either through the port- hole in the first lieutenant’s stateroom or from: the wardroom mess. But aftera time the crew found that the news was a flash in the pan. The first heutenant, who is a descendant of Admiral Drake of the English navy, bad changed his mind. This is another spectacle that will be reserved for Sausa- lito to-morrow mornire, where the ship will come to anchor. The midnignt. at- tack by torpedo-boats and the battalion drill ashore will also take place at and off Sausalito, which seems to be getting more attention from the Oregon than all the rest of California. Just after the messes had had their cof- fee Jast night and were finding an easy position with cigars or pipes fire quarters were sounded. Thisis an exercise that must be gone through with, even on iron ships, though there is hardly a thing aboard tbe Oregon outside the powder in Itha magazines that would burn, except thq bedding and tbe lubricating oil. This is a very livelv drill. The crew springs to it swiftly. Every man abéard without a single ekception has his partic- ular station. ~All the water-tight doorsbe- tween ocecks are shut to prevent a draft, men rush everywhere with hose and the powder division stands by the magazines far below ready to open the floodcocksand flood the magazines in case the fire should get into that vicinity. Beyond that there were no drills, and the night'was unevent- ful. The finest battle-ship in the world rode the calm hosom of Monterey Bay on a gentle swell with a calm and starry night around ana‘above, while some of the offi- cers went ashore. Among the visitors in the afternoon were Dr. James L. Ord of Monterey and Mr. and Mrs. Phinp W. Stanford of San Francisco and New York. To-day the in- cessant drilling and exercises began early. After quarters there was divisional drill with the batteries. The big guns and the heavy turrets are now being revolved, pointing fore and aft and atnwart ships as easily as turning spools of thread. The infantry saber, setting up und other drills foilowed in succession for two hours. One of the ludicrous sights of these occasions is that of an officer .giving a Chinese waiter a lesson in infantry tactics. The Chinaman grasps the gun all right, but as to grasping the idea of driiling, that is beyond the range of the thirteen-inch uns.’ 5 The improvement in the driiling ig marked. Captain Howison says this afterd noon that he is ready for the official ine spection of the Oregon and the efficiency of her crew, whieh will be made soon afte? the ship’s return to San Francisco. Nicholson, the man who struck Sailof Tiederman with a long handled scrubbrush and fractured his skull, is still imprisoned in the brig, pending the resuit of Tieder- man’s injuries. If his victim dies he will be turned over to the San Francisco civil authorities for criminal treatment. If Tiederman recovers Nicholson will have to stand a military court-martial, which has been recommended by Captain Howis son, Tiederman was taken to the German Hospital instead of to the Mare Island Hospital. % It is getting thick outside and the barometer is falling. The Oregon may have another chance to test herself in rough weather. ALY MORNING BLAE Ghirardelli's Coffee. and - Spice Works Going Up in Smoke. The Fire Started in the Rear of the Building and Burned Fiercely. At aquarter to 3 o’clock this morning Ghirardelli's coffee and - spice works caught fire in the rear of the building, and in a‘moment the whole northern sky was lit up with the flames. : The fire started in the oil department, and the inflammable material at once .blazed to the sky. : Soon after the first ‘alarm a second was sent in from a neighboring box, for the flames were spreading rapidly, and within a few moments a. third alarm called out the fpll strength of the department. Ghiratdelli’s i3 at 617 and 619 Sansome street, with an “L” rumming intd Jagk- son.” In this “L” was where the fire started, and. the huilding being old, the flames quickly ate right through to- Jacis son street. At the Jackson-street end the building is gutted. There were two gtores on that street and one of these is completely de- troy ed. Owing to some. unexplained ecirenms stance, the fire wids burfing some time before the first alarm went'in. The store was established in 1852, The stock is a large one, and it is impossible to say how much will be lost. It is worth some hupdreds of thousands of dollars, but is_ well covered by in« surance. - At this haur. 3:20 A. 3., the fire is bee lieved to be under control. —_————————— CARLSON'S ACTIVE CANVASS.
