DEL MONTE, Nov. 19.—Coach Nott said to-night that the Berkeley football men seemed a little loggy in their practice during the day and worked slowly. Tue vim of yesterday’s game was absent, probably owing to tiie fact that no regular game was played. Nothing was done this morning, and the alternoon was spent in vractice in defensive work, The men | show considerable improvement in this particular line and are picking up greatiy in endurance.

The red flames from every point <hone out against the black sky and throuch the widespread mass of dull, leaden smoke, tinged with tongues of yellow fire, and here and there, where the fire had sub- sided somewhat, the street lamps, stripped by the heat of their burners and glass frames, blazed with big jets from the open pipes like monster danger torches, There was no abatement of the baze be- fore 3 P.

The width of Red Cruss street, a com- paratively narrow thoroughfare, also tormed a barrier there.

Under No Circumstances Will Chile Be Permitted to Betome Eolivia’s Guardian. Copyright, 1897, by Jumes Gordon Benaett. VALPARAILSO, Nov. 19 —Iaternational affairs are sull in such saape that war is a possibilitv. I assert this on the author- itv of a person who knows the exact situ- ation. La Tarde, an independent news- paper of Santiago, in a leader declares that under no circumstances can Chila as- sume the gnardianship of Bolivia. Even if the plebiscite should favor Cuile giv- ing to this government permanent posses- sion of the oli Peruvian provinces of Tacna and Arica Cnile could not trans- ter these provinces to Bolivia, as that gov- ernment desires, without gre:t danger of war with Peru. Itis believad that ii such a tran-fer wa~ made Peru won!d seize the provinces. which she could eusily do, as her army’s strengtn is much greater than that of Bolivia. Itis beiieved that another cabinet crisis is at band, and if the ministry fails it is not known how a new one could be formed, as no one of the L beral factions is strong enough to govern itself. The present trouble arose through discontent vver the appointment of Senor Luco to succeed Senor Toro Herrera as Minister of Industry and Public Works. ORANGE TYPES AND VARIETIES William C.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 19.—State CGar- dener Dunn preathed a sigh of relief this afternoon when the fruit-growers ad- i urned sine die, and with them departed the Coun'y Horticultural Commissioners with their cate boxes of bugs, scales and all kinds ol tree-eaiing insects and pests. “Why,” said Siate Gardener Dunn, “if thie bugs these fruit-fellows brought here ever got loose in Capital Park they would bave eaten everything trom my favorite eyfanthia elegano and dracena strista irom Australia to my raphis flabiilefor- mus from the Sandwich Islands.” A County Commuissioner who had a good-s zed box of magniticent phylloxera bulging out of nis coat-pocket overbeard he State Gardener’s remark and replied: Well, Dunn, we bave applied a goou many remedies toward the extermination of these pests, but if they will surv ve and thrive upon the things you have just pro- nounced we might as well give up the ghost, Ifa bite into one of those plants doesn’t break their jaws tnen there is no hope for a poor little orange or olive tree.” The laugu was on Dunn, and a tempo- | ra1y recess was taken to a near-by place of refreshment. The morning session opened with a paper by Professor C. W. Woodworth of toe Btate University upon the subject of “Scale Injuries.” Foliowing the reading of the paper camea ftlood of questions from the body of the convention, none of wh ch brought embarrassment to the pro- 1e.sor, who nuswered them promptly and satisfacioril; Th: mostclassic and rhetorical papsr of the session was then read by Eiwin F.

Five Communities to Be In- cluded Within the New Boundaries. Obj:ctlons of Suburbanites Glve Way Before the Dollar Tax Rate. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN JOSE, Nov. 19.—The Board of Trade and a committes from the City Council will next week begin an active campaign for a greater San Jose. It is proposed to extend the city boundaries so as to include East San Jose, Crandallviie, the Alameda, Col Grove and the Wil- lows within the corporate limits. This will zive the city a population of between 30,000 and 35,000, whereas now within the eramped limits there are but about 22,000. San Jose long ago outgrew its swad- dling clohes »nd the limits should be ex- tended. Several attempts have been made 10 agitate for a preater San Jose, but each time they bave been abandoned be- cause of the opposition put forward by the residents of the suburbs sought to be annexed. The subuibinites claimed the city tax rate was too high for the benefits to be derived. Now there can be no such excuse, for under the new charter the city tax rate1s imited $1 on each $i00 valua- tion. By coming in.o the city their taxes would be increased but 65 cents on each $100, as they would escape the county road tax. Besides this they would not be subjected to the levy on the bonds recently issued to erect a new high school and im- prove the main sewer, while they would enjoy all the priyileges arising theretrom. For this additiohal 1ax the people of the suburbs would gain nolice and fire pro- tection, together with at least 25 per cent increaze in the vaiue of their property. Bewers would be erected in their districts and the streets lightea and their residence portion improved. A grest many of the people residing in the suburbs are in 1avor of annexati and it is thought by proper agitation aud anumber of mass-meetings the residents of the desired districts can be brouzht into Greater San Jose. | Active work will commence early next | On Monday night the committ e | ppointed at the last meeting of the counci!—consi-ting of Councilmen Fay i {and Nolung and City Attorney Welch— will report to that body th» names of fifty | citizens to form an annexation commit tee. The Board of Trade will work in conjurction wita the committee, and they will at once enter upon the cam- paign for znnexation and Greater San jose. | EEE T BULLET GRAZZD HIS HEAD.

On New Year’s day, 18(6, ke kiiled Benjamin Machea and his wife and 17-year-old son in Pine Valley, because of a quarrel. The Governor had been petitioned to commute the sentence, but no word was received from him untl last night, when the Sheriff received a message stating he could not interfere with the due course of thelaw, and the Sheriff at once completed his arrangements for carrying out the order. Last evening Porter sent for Rev. Mr. Shields of the First Presbyterian Church, who called on the condemned man and gave him such spiritual advice as he could. Porter had been studying his Bible and said that he realized that he bad committed 3 great sin, and that he knew his only hop: was to be found in the scriptures. This morning Rev. Mr. Shields again visited him and remained untit the end came. Just before daylight everything was in readiness for the execution. Porter was informed he had but a suort time to live, and in the presence of twelve citizens the death warrant was read to him. He ex- pected it and was prepared for it. He was ciad in a new suit of cloihes and at 6:45 he was taken from his cell in the jail and jed to the scaffold. There were about fifty ‘persons present. Porter meanifested the greatest courage and walked to his doom with a steady step. On reachinz the platform, Sheriff Puy asked him if he had anything to say. He said he haa not. He was then hand- cuffed, straps put around his limbs and body, the black cap slipped over his head and the noose adju-ted. The Sheriff stepped to one side, and, sayine: *Pre- pare to meet your maker,” pulled the lever that open2d the door. The body shot downward a distunce of six feet and all was over. N 't the move- ment of a muscle was discernible. Death was instantaneous, the neck having been broken by the fall, After waiting twelve minutes the attending physicians pro- nounced the body dead and it was taken down and buried CALIFORNIA 1EAFFIC HEAVY.
