THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 1 1897. MANY NEW STRIKERS One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Men Are Now Out. ORGANIZERS FOR WEST VIRGINIA. That State to Be Made the Battle-ground From This Time On. RATCHFORD MORE CONFIDENT THAN EVER. Opposed to Arbitration Because He Is Certaln the Miners Can Win. 12.—Informa- \ers’ headquarters COLUMBUS, O=io, tion received at the m to-day 18 to the effect that 150,000 men have now joinea the strike and the offi- cials say it is only a question of a few days until the West Virginia miners will join. That State will be the battleground from now on and great bodies of organiz- ers are to be sent there. than at any time since the strike began. He says that one of the best features 1s the co-operation of other labor organiza- tions of the country. The attempt to in- duce Dearmitt’s men to quit work hasthus far been a failure, and Dearmitt has given out that any miner who is seen talking to the organizers will be dismissed. Dear- | mitt is tak all the orders he can secure, which sho! hold his men. No violence has been reported except carloads of coal leit standing on a siding of the railroad at New Straitsville were cut loose yesterday and allowed to down grade for a distance ot half a mile, with the result that the | train was wreckad. When President Ratchford of the Mine Workers’ returned here to-day, he found messages from Samuel Gompers of the | American Federation of Labor, Debs, T. V. Powderly, M. J. Carrick of the Painters and Decorators’ Union of Amer- ica, . R. Thomas of the Patternmakers’ National Laague and W. D. Mahon of the reet Railway National Organization, each tendering men and money to go| wherever Mr. Ratchford directed. Mr. Mahon was present in person. CLEV ND, Omuro, July 12—The local of rs took a more hopeful view of the strike 1ation this morning. Dan Hanna, manager of M. A. Hanna & Co., said that as long as the West Virginia coal was mined there couid be no par- ticalar strin. cy, as there is sufficient 1 out of the earth already to last until nter. Small dealers, “however, \irming over their inability to get’ coal for reta The big cealers will not part with their 1 Not a pound of coal entered the terday. itive injormation has been received in this city that the Ohio railroads have decided to refuse to haul West Virginia | coal. These include the Baltimore and Ohio, the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheel- ing, the Wheeling and Lake Erie and the Cleveland, Canton and Southern. A prominent coal operator said this morning that unless the miners are repre- sented at the meeting of the boards of arbitrators to-morrow the whole thing w e a farce. “The miners are not in a position to ask for arbitration,’” said he. *“‘They do not want their boasts. They have accomplisned as much, if not more. than they said they would., They are in a position to dictate. In my opinion the strike will last sixty days at least.” Colonel Myron T. Herrick, receiver of the Wheeling and Lake Erie, was ap- proacheda upon the subject as to whether the Ohio roads would refuse to haul West Virginia coal. “We are not retusing to haul it,"’ said be, “and I have not heard thai there is h movement on foot among the road r. Wardell, receiver of the Cleveland, Canton ana Southern Railway, said: “We are very glad 10 zet West Vrginia coal to haul, and have no disposition to refuse it. However, [ do not know what labor con- tingency may arise in the near future that will make it convenient to refuse to haul coal.” Chief P. M.

No complaint has been made,” he re. plied. atall involved in this strike problem. course they naturally sympathize wiih the strikers, but I do not anticipate any refusal on the part of the railroad men to haul coal.” —_——— DO NOT WAMNT ARBITRATION, rach Side Appears to Be Satisfied That It Can Win. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 12—The out- look ior arbitration in the miners’ strike 18 poor. Bo far the strike arbitrators who have arrived find little encouragement. | Neither the operators nor miners want | their differences arbitrated. Each side appears 10 be satisfied that it can win. Karly this morning the arbitrators were eady to do business and staved in the all day waiting for the parties to the Four operators snd none of the miners’ offizials called. It became known 10-day that Pres:dent Ratchiord when he wus here recently was asked by a personal friend what he thought of the arbitration scteme, and replied: I wish these peopie who ere talking about arbitration would let us alone. We're getting along all right and don’t want arbitration.” There is but little change in the situa- tion. All the mines in the Pittsburg dis- trict ar closed and not a pound of coal is being mined except at the three mines of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal any. Keating & Co,’s miners re- ned to work at tbe 69-cent rate, but sent 4 miner to headquarters to inquire whether it was intended that miners ehould remain out where the advance had been granted. They were told to lay down their tools until tue advance had been conceded at other mines, and all will £O out again to-nizht. The miners at the Suckle Hollow mines of the Washington Coal and Coke Com- pany came out to-day. These mines were ihe scene of a riot during the strike of 184, in which seven men were Kkilled. District President Patrick Dolan of the miners’ organization is confined at bis home by sickness. The proposed meeting for the purpose of tringing out the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company's iners has been postponed for a few days. el b Indiana lailrosds Seizing.

CHICAGO, I, July 12.—Colonel W. P. | Rend, tbe miilionaire Chicago coal op- | erator, has returned from Pitisburg, | where during the past week he has been in conference with otrer coal-mine op- erators and with the officials of the miners’ organization reiative 10 a settie- ment of the strike. Mr. Rend says there | is no telling right now whether the strike will last. Whether it will spread to other labor he cannot say, for a strike, like a conflagration, sometimes spreads 1o every- thing within reach, but he hopes for an early and peaceful settlement by arbitra- i tion. | Ofacoal famine Mr. Rend has no im- | mediate fear. He says that in anticipa- tion of the present strike many operators had stored large quantities of coal, and ! these operators, from selfish motives, are not in a particular mood to have this | strike settled. They hope to reap a rich | harvest by the advance in prices. 5 Mr. Rend discussed the strike situation at length, and continuing, sad: “The strike has grown in size from day | to dav, until now it hasassumed vast pro- | portions. I expect that within the next ten daysit will nave reached full maturity | and its greatest strength. Unless speedily settled it threatens to be one of the most formidable conflicts between capital and | labor in the entire industrial history of the country. The mining rezions of seven | coal-producing States are now more or less involved in this struggle. “Fully 125,000 men bave withdrawn | their labor from the production of coal, and there is a prospect that next week | will witness a still further increase in the | size of this already large army of striking { workmen. Itis clear that this movement | is mainly a spontaneous one, and that tiere are serious causes calling for re- | dress that have resulted in this general | | uprising. **The success or failure of the strike de- | pends very largely upon the success dur- ing the coming week of tne plans of the miners’ officials. They will strawn every effort to clos: down the mines of the | New York and Cleveland Gas Company in the Pitisburg region, and gat the | same time orgamize and bring out | the coal-diggers in West Virginia. Lf | the latter continue togwork coal will be | produced by them in suflici-nt quantities | to prolong the strike unti. the minersnow | idle wili bave becowe weakened and ex- hausted into final defeat. The miners of ‘West Virginia have had 1n the past but little affiliation with the miners in the Northern States. “Besiles the coal mined in West Vir- ginia there are also large amounts of bi- tuminous coal being produced in Penn- syivania outside of the Pittsburg district. While coal will be scarce in many places | there will be no general famine,at least not for a while longer. Besides the sources of supply I have named coal can be shipped from tie Connellsville section and the new mining districts of the State and from East Virginia. *‘It seems to me the best way of ail is to have a conference of all the representa- tives of both the operators and miners at Pittsburg, and then, by just concessions on both sides, agree upon terms of peace.’” —_— - IN WEMT FI1KGINIA, The Militia Is Held in FKeadiness for Possible Trouble. WHEELING, W. Va., July 12.—A great change has come over the miners of this | Btate, and the operators do not disgnise | their intention to do their best to keep | the organizers from doing effective work. Meetings were held at Packer, Elkhorn | and Bluefields last evening, but no defi- nite action was taken, though some noise | on the part of the strikers was expected. Governor Atkinson and Adjutant-Gen- | eral Appleton are preparing for trouble. | Within the week 500 stands of arms have | been received from the Government for the militia, with 500,000 rounds of am- | munition, including Gatling cartridges. The militia will be used as soon as there is reason for it. All the commanders have been communicated with and or- dered to be ready. It is announced that the Cleveland, Lorraine and Wheeling Railroad to-day began Lkauling coal, but there has been no trouble so far, as the strike leaders are trying to keep the men from creating a disturbance. g | Illinois Miners All Going Out. SPRINGFIELD, Irn., July 12.—Pursu- | ant to the decision of vesterday’s mass- meeting all the miners in the Sprinefield | District struck, except at the Clear Lake Co-operative and Salding shafts. DANVILLE, Irn., July 12.—At a meet- ing to-day of 1200 miners of the Danville | District a vote was taken to cease all work | in the Danville field. SRt Funds From a Central Labor Union, NEW YORK, N. Y., July 12.—The Cen- tral Labor Union of New York has sent $1000 and assurances of ity hearty co- operation to President Ratchford of the Mine Workers’ Union, whose members are on strike. GEORGIA MUKDELE MYSTERY, Woman J1ound Hacked to Picces and Packed in a Barrel. QUITMAN, Ga., July 12.—The steamer which arrived here last Friday deposited | as part of her freight a small and secarely fastened barrel, wuich, the consignee be- ibg unknown here, was left in the build- ing near the station to await its claimant. This morning it was broken open and the dismembered body of a woman. The head and features indicated outh. The corpse was 1n many pieces, | all bound in a homespun sLirt, which was | the only clew to be found. | The barrel was evidently manufactured | in Florida, but the crew of the steamer do not know how or where it found its | way on the steamer. Inquiries have been | made in this neighhorhood and tele- | graphed all over the lower portion of the | Btate, but yet nothing has been received to reveal the identity of the woman. Eomnia s | KILLED HI> MOTHER, | revealed Charge of Dr. Cornmwell Against the Brother He Shot. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 12.—On Wednes- day last Dr. Joan Cornwall shot and killed bis dissolute brother, Herbert, as the latier was about to assault his father, Dr. Cornwall is now out on bail. He said to-day that Herbert had, in fact, killed Lis mother, not vy grief which his actions caused her, but by pnysical injuries, i “Herbert dragged his mother by the street one day and also stabbed her in the neck,” said the doctor. “Her injuries did not prove immediately fatal, but we all know they killed her. The matter was kept a secrot. We could not bear the dis- giace, but now I suppose it mustcome out.”” — e | D-ath of @ Portland Pionser. PORTLAND, Or, July 12.—Ex-Chief of Police Samuel B.

SAYINGS OF THE SAVIOR Wording of the Papyri Found in the Ruins of Behneseh. FOOD FOR THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY. Eight Detached Quotations From the Teachings of the Master. SECOND ADMONITION IS NEW AND STARTLING. Jesus Selth: “Except Ye Keep the Sabbath Ye Shall Not See the Father.” LONDON, Exe., July 12.—Among the discoveries made at Behneseh by Mesasrs. Greenfell and Hunt, the Egyptian ex- plorers, is a& small page, 53 inches by 33 inches, containing eight sayines of Curist. The logia consists of detached quotations, each beginning, “Jesus saitb.’’ I'he first saying is: ‘‘And then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.” The second saying is startling ana en- tirely new. Jesus saith: ‘‘Except ye fast to the world ye shall in nowise find the kingdom of God, and except ye keep the Sabbath ye shall not see the Father.” This being at variance with the accepted teachings of Christ, it is suggested that it is perhaps a forgery, or perhaps itisan erroneous report. The third saying is similar to that con- wained in John I, but the form is different. Christ describes himself as standing in the midst of the world, finding all men drunken and none athirst. ‘‘And my soul grieves over the sins of men because they are blind in their heart.” The fourth saying has perished, only one word remaining, and this is a Greek word for beggary. As this was not used by Christ in any gospel the logia is con- sidered to be new. The fifth saying, which contains certain gaps, is of extraordinary interest. It reads: “Jesus saith, Wherever there | are [bere occurs a gap] and there is one [zap] alone I am with him. Raise a stone and there thou shalt find me. Cleave wood and there I am.” ‘The latter part is entirely new and 1t is expected that it will arouse a controversy. It seems to indicate pantheist philosophy and perhaps is a reflection of the mystical occultisez of gnostics of ear!y Christian centuries. saying coincides in part with “No prophet isaccepted in his own country; neither doth a physician work cures upon them that know him.” Tnis 18 considered to prove that Luke had the same original records as the logia, because the Greek for ‘‘accepted” (dektos) was used by Luke only and was hitherio supposed to be one of his mere literary changes on Matthews’ collection. The seventh saying is similar to Mat- thew v: 14, but is incomplete. The eighth saying is undaecipherable. It is suggested that the date of the docu- ment must be from the year 150 to 300, A. D, probably not Jater than 200, A. D. The Greek of the logiz, which has been seen by the correspondent of the New York Sun, isso clear that any dispute as regards the words is impossible. Contro- versy can only arise in regard to interpre- tation of the new passages. CLEAVE A BABE’S BaDY IN TWAIN. Revolting Daed of a Spanigh Soldier B:tfore the Eyes of the Infant's Pcrenis. HAVANA, Cusa, July 12.—At Loma del Chivo, Havana Province, a Spanish bat- talion of Guadalajara was attacked on Saturday by a strong Cuban force which, after a sharp engagement, retired 10 a hill. The Spaniards followed the Cubans in an effort to dislodge them from their new position by a bayonet charge, but when the battalion approached the hill several dynamite bombs exploded among the Spanish soldiers, killing forty-three and wounding over fifty men. The Spaniards, panic stricken, fled. The news was tele- graphed to Havana. Spanish forces will be sent to Loma del Chivo, with two can- nons, to take the hill. As usual, it is probable that when they reech the place they will not find the Cubans. At Zibabo, near Remedios, Santa Clara province, a Cuban hospital was raided by Bpanish and many wounded and sick men killed. Felipe Garcia and wife were captured and, after both had been severely wounded, their child, two years old, was hair of her head from the house into the.| Tickets 50 cents, children between 5 and 12 | noon of July 7. killed in their presence. A Spanish sol- dier cut the child’s body in two with one blow of his machete, saying to the pa- rents: “You will always remember this day.” Garcia and his wife begged to be killed also; but they were sent, pinioned and bleeding, to Remedios. The Havana press is very indignant against the Government and people of the United States for the protection accorded Cuban revolutionists in the United States. From the Diario de la Marina to El Pueblo nearly all the newspapers favor the idea of a rupture of diplomatic rela- tions between the United States and Spain, and even war. The town of Minas, near Puerto Prin- cipe City, was attacked and halt destroyed by Cubans, who retired upon the arrival of 3500 men commanded by General Jimi- nez Castellanos. MADRID,3 £pa1y, July 12.—A special from Havana to the Heraldo says that two of the principal bands of insurgents are now in the province of Havana and that arms and ammunition have been landed at various points along the coast. Upward of 28000 Spaniards are there being 7000 patients in the Havana hospital alone. There is a great scarcity of provisions owing to the aelay ot the authorities in making payments to con- tractors. A e T THE PACIFIC RECORD BROKEN. Empress or Japan Arrives at Yokohama m the Cest Tims Ever Made Acrcss the Ocean. MONTREAL, Queskc, July 12.—A cable message was received here to-day saying that the Canadian Pacific steam<bip Em- press of Japan had arrived at Yokohama bresking all the records on the Pacific. She left Vancouver at 10:20 o’ciock on the morning of June 26, and Victoria, B. C., at 4:15 o'clock on the same day, reaching Yokohama at 1:30 o'clock on the after- Deducting the difference in time the passage between Victoria and y Yokohama was made in 10 days, 3 hours and 44 minutes, at an average of 17.50 knots par hour. This is the best time ever mads across the Pacific Ocean in eithar direction. e g o Wreek of the Bank of Spain. MADRID, fpary, July 12.—The state- ment of tue Bank of Spain, which has been formally gazetted, has increased the adverse comment on the bank manage- ment. It shows a note circulation of 136,- 000,000 pesatas 1n excess of the authorized issue. FIRE ON A FRESNO VINEYARD. Destroys the Dis!illery and Pack.ng-House of a W.nery Owned by San Franciscans. FRESNO, Car., July 12.—The Fresno vineyard, six wiles ecst of this city, was visited by a serious fire this evening be- tween 5 and 6 o’clock. The distillery and packing-house were detroyed and the loss amounts to about $10,000. It was only by the most determined efforts of the vineyard employes that the flames were prevented from communicat- ing to the big wine-cellar, and a disas- trous conflagration, in which the addi- tional loss would have been many thou- sands of dollars, was averted. The fire started in the boiler-room in the distillery building, and it was not discov- ered until the roof was ablaze. The wine- maker had kept up steam in the boiiers during the day for power to pump wine out of the large casks in the cellar into smaller receptacles in which the liquor is' placed on the market. Vine brush is used for fuel, and during the ab- sence of the winemaker fire was in some unaccountable manner commnunicated to the woodwork about tha furnace. The flames spread rapidly and the dis- tilling establishment was soon burned out. An adjoining shed containing six- teen tanks, which were used for storing the pummice oat of which the alconol was manufactured, went up with the dis- tillery. The flames then communicated with a stack of raisin-trays back of the distillery and then the packing-house caught. The small adobe building used for storing sherry wine was the last to be destroyed. The wine cellar, in which about 85,000 gallons of llquor is stored, stood only about fifty feet from the fire, and some frame sheds greatly increased the danger of its catching, but the emploves and people of the neighborhood who had arrived fought valiautly and it seems almost re- markable that they succeeded in savine one of the biggest ard best equipped wineries in the State. The Fresno Vineyard Company is com- posed of L. P. Drexler, M. Theo Kearney, Joseph Brandestein, Lachman and Jacobi, all San Francisco capitalists. Th2 winery was established about fifteen years ago. In 1887 it was burned down and im- mediately rebuilt. The packing-house and distillery destroyed to-day will also be rebuilt. — e TRAGEDY AT EUREKA. City Treasurer Young Commits Suicide Because of a Shortage in His Acccunts, EUREKA, Car., July 12.—Fred Young, City Treasurer of Eureka, committed sui- cide last night. His body was found this morning lving on a pile of ballast rock under the wharf near the depot of the Eel River and Eureka Railroad with an ugly gash in the throat, which had completely severed the windpipe. A razer was found near the body. Mr. Young was a progressive merchant, with an establishment on Second street, and he generally arrived home not later than 9 o’clock each evening. He failed to put in an appearance at the stated time last night and his wife became alarmed. Going to the store she found it closed, with no traces of her husband. She noti- fied the police and immediately a search was commenced. An entrance was forced into the rear end of the store. The desk was nailed down with a spike, and, fore- in g it open, the searchers found the fol- lowing letter in an envelope addressed to the Chief of Police: Chief of Police: Take charge of everything in the store. It is all I have got. I wasrobbed oue year ago in September of $2475, but I said nothing about it because ncbody would be- lieve me, and I don’t think they will now. I did not tell my folks even. The letter was unsigned, but the hand- writing was that of Young. Young's term of office wonld have ex- pirea to-morrow. Last week he drew his money out of the Humboldt County Bank and deposited it with the Bank of Eureka, previous to turning it over to his suc- cessor. All sorts of rumors are going the rounds as regards a shortage in his accounts, This afternoon Councilmen H. K. Buhne and Wil L. Heney counted the money he deposited in the bank and found $4310. Upon continued investigation they found him to be short nearly $3000. Young was highly respected and was one of the city’s leading citizens. He was a German about 47 years old, and bad lived here for a number of years. He leaves a widow and an eight-year-old daughter. R SALT LAKE MULDEKER CAUGHT. Reported Capture of Hermans, tha Slayer of Two Girls. SALT LAKE, Urag, July 12.—Dis- patches received here to-day say that the Rev. Francis Hermans, who mur- Jered and incinerated two girl members of his congregation in May last, and whose crime jwas discovered only after he had left the city for the East, had been captured in Eganville, Canada. An officer has lefi for the scene. Men sup- posed to be Herman have been caught in various places during the year, but this last capture is strongly relied upon here. HE PROMOTES RESTAURANTS. Starts 1hem In Style, Gets a Big Trade and Then Sells Out and Moves On. A shrewd New Yorker, who started his business career over thirty years agoasa purveyor of coffee and crullers in an all- night booth at ola Fuiton market, is mak- ing a barrel of money, his friends say, as a promoter of restaurants. This eating-house speculator, after se- lecting a location, opens a spick-and-span new restaurant, with cheap prices, excel- lent service, first-class cooking and top- notch meats and bread, vegetables and astry, coffee and biscuits. He soon Euild upa fine trade; his patrons prai the place for one or more of its specialties, and then the promoter sells out at a hand- some profit. Soon afterward the chef, the pastry cook, the man who bakes the delicious raised biscuit, and the keen-eyed, alert head waiter find one excuse or another for taking leave. They are not tired of work- ing nor dissatistiec with the wages re- cetved. They have received notice from the promgter that be is ready to open an- other restaurant and that their experience and services are necessary to him in giv- ing the new place the reputation that will draw full tebles and enable the promoter to iand another purchaser. This speculator does not confine his ef- forts to New York. Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and even Denver and San Kran- cisco have seen the same crowd, and the patrons are wondering why the coffee, fish- cakes, hashed brown potatoes and goose- berry tarts aren’t so nice as when ‘“‘this place was opened.”—New York Sun. ————————— The oldest wooden building in the world is believed to be the church in Borgund, Norway.

BIG BLUE SIGNS DEFICIENCY BILL AEAIN TAKEN UP Hale States His Desire for Action by the Senate. Morgan Finds an Item That He Claims Would Rob the People. White’s San Pedro Resolutlon Goes tion Rejected. Over—Coionel Noyes’ Nomina- WASHINGTON, D. C, Juty 12.—The general deficiency appropriation bill was before the Sen ste to-day. Hale, in charge, indicated that 1t was his desire and pur- pose to bave it pussed so early in the day that the House before adjournment might send it to conlerence. In indulging that pleasing expectation Hale had not taken into consideration the fact that Morgan had found in the bill an item to which he could attach a proposition for setting aside the agreement made between Pre: dent Cleveland and the Union Pacific re- organization committee for the sale of the property under foreclosure and for the payment of the Government lien upon it. For three hours aud a half Morgan talked on the subject, going over the whols ques- tion of the relations of the Government to the company, and when he got through it was nearly the usual time for adjourn- ment. As the matter could not be dis- posed of by an aye-and-no vote, there not being a quorum, the Senate’s present difficulty was obviated by a motion to strike from the bill the item to which Morgan’s amendment was attached, and that motion was agreed to without ques- tion. The only other matter in the bill likely to lead to depate and delay to-morrow is that in relation to the sum to be paid for armor plate for the three new battle- ships. Morgan’s amendment vrovided that $16,277 due the Union Pacific Railroad Company shall be paid into the sinking furd of the company, and that no part of such sinking fund shall be sold or dis- posed of in pursuance of the agreement existing or to be made between the Presi- dent of the United States and the reor- ganization committee of the company. In the course of his remarks as to the importance of his amendment Morgan alluded to the House not being in session to-morrow or Wednesday, and was told by Gear that the House would be in ses- sion to-morrow. “I am aelighted to hear it,” said Morgan, satirically. It is so comfortable to know that we have a Congress which is not running on one wheel. And so the House will be in session to-morrow? Then I 1nvite its attention to the fact that by adopting this amendment it can save $30,000,000 to the Government, which otherwise the Government will be robbed of. These are strong words, but I use them knowing what they mean and that they are perfectly justified by facts. Lst Congress adjourn without taking hold of this transaction (meaning the agreement with the reorganization committee of the Union Pacific), and the Government will lose $30,000,000 and the people will Jose— God knows how much in the future.” A resolution offered by White went over until to-morrow, directing the Secretary of War to make a contract for the building of a backwater dam at San Pedro, Cal. Morean offered a resolution. which also went over, calling upon the President for information concerning the arrest and imprisonment at Havana last Sepntember of Aliredo H. Hugnet, an American citi- zen. The Senate rejected the nomination of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Noyes of the Second Cavalry to be colonel. This promotion was sent to the Senate June5 and was reported with adverse recommen- dation by tke Committes on Miliiary Ai- fairs upon the charges that Noyes had failed to pay his debis and was incompe- tent. Heis now at Los Angeles, Cal., on leave. CURRENCY MENSAGE DELAYED, Tariff Mus«t Be Decided on Before It Will Be Iransmitted. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.—Frosi- | dent M« Kinley’s currency message did not ! go to Congress to-day, as promised last week. Up to Saturday it was fully in- tended that the message should be trans- mitted, but the President and Cabine have changed their minds since then. To-day it was stated authoritatively that the views of the President would not be laid before Congress until after the 1ariff bill is entirely out of the way,which indicates more uncertainty than ever apbout the ultimate fate of the document. It was written more than a month ago and lay on the President’s desk while he considered the advisability of bringing it to the attention of the legislative branch. After the positive announcement was made that the message might be expected some day next week, the protests of prominent Republican politicians and business men began to pour into the White House and Treasury Department. These had some effect in bringing about a further post- ponement in transmission and may cause the abandonment of the intention. . o Ihe House Eemembers Harris. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.—Out of respect to the memory of the late Senator Harris the House, after a five minutes’ session, aijcurned until to-morrow. OFF TO SEE THE SIGHTS. Eastern Visitors Will Make Many In- teresting Side Trips. People are beginning to go out of the City again. Lurge numbers, however, are going merely to return, as they want to see Santa Cruz, Monterey, the Yosemite, Los Angeles and other places. A vast number of Endeavor delegates and others who came on the reduced transcontinental rates have bought and are buying tickets for side trips. The Yosemite offices of both the South- ern Pacific and the San Francisco and San Joaquin railroad offices were thronged yesterday, as was the main office of the Southern Pacfic. “The people are beginning to get out considerably now,” said Master of Trans- portation Richardson of the Southern Pa- cific. “The Portland train left last night at 8 o'clock in two sections with twenty- one cars.

Baby and brute animals are usually somnolent when their stomachs are well supplied with fooa, the activity of the stomach withdrawing the excess of the blood from the brain, where it is not needed during sleep. On the other hand people who are very hungry usually find it very difficult to sleep. And then a habit of sleep at a regulated time and during proper hours should be culti- vated in case this habit has been lost. In accomplishing this the attainment of a favorable state of mind is of great impo: tance. Sleep cannot be enforced by a di- rect exercise of the will. The very effort of the will to command sleep is enough to render its attainment nugatory, The mental state to be encour- aged is one of quiescence, one of indiffer- ence, a feeling that the recumbent posture is & proper one for rest, and that if the thouvghts are disposed to continue active they may be salely allowed to take their course without any effort toward control.
