He Is Assigned to the Command of the Presidio by General Merriam. Lieutenant Colonel Henry Wagner, Fourth Cavalry, arrived in the city yes- terday morning and reported to Major General Merriam. He was immediately assigned to the command of the Presidio by the department commander, Major Kenzie, who has been in temporary com- mand for the past few days, being re- leved. Colonel Wagner was promoted as a ma- jor from the Fifth Cavalry some months | ago, and was ordered to report here, but was given a sick leave by the War De- | partment, which was on several occasions extended. Colonel Wagner is an old sol- dler, with a record for gallantry and bravery of which he may well be proud. | He distinguished himself in the last war and was brevetted captain for conspicuous gallantry before Petersburg, Va., in the memorable fight of the Crater. Colonel Wagner is a native of Germany. He en- listed in the army in 1856 as a private. His soldierly qualities gained him early notice, and he was rapidly promoted through the various non-commissioned offices until he | was finally made second lieutenant in 1863 | and assigned to the Eleventh Infantr One year later he was promoted to a fir: lieutenancy. In 1866 Colonel Wagner was | transferred to the Twenty-ninith Infantry and three years after his transfer was made captain. In 1871 he was assigned to | the First Cavalry. With this regiment he | served nineteen years, until he received | | his commission as major, when he was | transferred to the Fifth,” which was in 18%. Only a few months ago he received | his promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and was transferred to the Fourth, two troops of which are now sta- | | tioned here at the Presidio. Major Edward Field, Second Artillery, | acting inspector general, has been ordered | by General Merriam to proceed to Hono- lulu for the Ijunmso of making his annual inspection of the troops and supplies sta- tioned there. Major Field will sail on the Newport on Tuesday, and will return to MISS CAMERON HAD MARRIED MEREDITH Had Two Witnesses Against Fong Suey. HARRY HUFF MAKES DENIAL ”s THE CHINESE BUREAU SCANDAL GROWS HOTTER. Chance That the Procuress May Be Arrested at Hongkong if the Authorities Are Vigi- lant. It now seems pretty generally conceded that Fong Suey Wan, the procuress, is on the high seas on her way to China, and that it will be useless to search for her in this State. It Is understood that the Federal authorities have cabled to Hongkong to arrest the woman on her | arrival at that port, but this report has not been verified. Harry Huff, the interpreter, whose | name has been mixed up disagreeably in | connection with the crooked work of the bureau, denies that he brought to the Presbyterian Mission the certificate of are now becoming known, and though good in some southern districts a num- ber of governments have been acknowl- edged officially to have suffered from bad crops and to require immediate assist- ance.

Sir John Murray’s paper on the annual range of temperature in the surface waters of the ocean is published in the last issue of the Geographical Journal, and is the latest as well as the most au- thoritative exposition of the subject.

CITY TO PAY: CREMATORY | COMMITTEE OF SUPERVISORS AGREES TO THE PLAN. About One Hundred Thousand Dol- lars Saved From the Tax Levy ‘Which Will Be Devoted to Other Purposes. The vexed question of a city garbage | contract has at last been settled to the sat’sfaction of the scavengers, the Sani- tary Reduction Company and the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors. It has been arranged that the scavengers shall continue to ply their avocation as of old, with this important change, that the city will, in future, pay the Sanitary Reduction Company for ine Incineration of the garbage at the rate of 20 cents per cublc yard, while the scaven- gers will be obliged to reduce their charges to the citizens to the basis of rates prevailing before the inc.neration | plant was established. For some time the scavengers have been paying for.the incineration at the rate of 20 cents per cubic yard and, fu! turn, have collected extra money from the citizens to cover the expense. At the meeting of the Heaith and Po- lice Committee of the Supervisors vester- day the new arrangement was made. The Sanitary Reduction Company presented . | written proposition, stating that the | works would be offered for !ease to the | city, but that the company worud ably conrider a contract for two incmerate all of the garbaga at ti of 20 cents per cubic yard, pav for the same at the morth and the measurement of the garb- | age 1o be in the hands of officers uppoint- | ed by the Supervisors, instead of leaving | it to tke scavengers as In the past.

The Comniittee on Health and Police accordinglv veted | mend that a contract be enterad into with the Savritary Reduction Compan;. While nc direct contract will be made with the Ll gers, 1t is believed that they will readly agree to keep down the prices of collecting the garbage, especialls us there are rival organizations in the tield ta bid against each other for custom.

There is only one spot on the earth’s surface that has actually been willed, deeded and bequeathed to his Satanic | majesty. This spot lies four miles and a half south of Helsingfors, Finland. A few years ago Lara Huilariene died in the little town of Pielisjarvi, in the‘ above-named country, leaving consid- | erable property in the shape of landed | estate. How he had come into posses slon of so much land no one seemed to know, but as he was a very bad citizen it was generally admitted that he was lin. Jeague with Wintahausu (Satan), and that they had many business deals with each other. This somewhat startling opinion was verified when on Huilariene was found a certified warranty deed, giving to Satan all his earthly possessions. The will was to the same effect. The family have repeatedly tried to break the will, but so far have been unsuc- tessful. Thus the records plainly show that his sulphuric majesty has a legal right and title to some excellent grounds in the near vicinity of Helsing- fors. The simple people of the neighbor- hood have changed the course of the road which for.nerly skirtea the Huil- ariene homestead, and declare that they would not enter the possessions of Satan & Co. for all the money that the three estates would bring.—Pearson’s Journal. —_———— | “A gentleman whose wife and daugh- ter have run away from home for a | holiday, leaving him in charge of a baby, who, although fairly well, ap- pears to be cutting teeth, earnestly de- sires that they will return home at once,” and advertises the fact in the | London Standard. i the Government officials. parlor where Mr. Meredith and the oth- all ri Meredith was about to give the order, but I went into the ers were and 1 saw Mr. Huff with a pa- er in his hand.

One is about one and a half inches in length, or smaller; the other three to four times that size. ihe smaller clam is the true Rhode Islandi product, but the larger ones are Cape Codders. They are as unlike in their flavor as it is possible to Imagine, but both being sold and served here, the unsophisticated credit them as aliks our product. This is to our discredit.

Mr. Huff's oration in warmer latitudes. The lighter ice is separated from the denser mother llquid which sinks to the greater depths, leaving the ice on the surface. hese statements as to the effects of range of temperature might be illustrated by ref- erence to many parts of the ocean. It will be sufficient to refer to the most striking example, in the southern hemi- sphere, where there is a band of large range of temperature right round the world. The warm tropical waters, which are driven southward along the eastern coasts of South America, Africa and Aus- tralia into the Great Southern Ocean, there become cooled as they flow to the east before the strong westerly winds. On account of their high salinity, these trop- ical waters can suffer much dilution with Antarctic water and still be denser than water from these higher latitudes at the same temperature. ere the density ob- servations and the sea water gases indi- cate that a large part of the cold water found at the greater depths of the ocean probably leaves the surface and sinks toward the bottom of the Southern Ocean between the latitudes of 45 degrees and 66 degrees south. At a depth of 100 fath- oms the temperature in one/part of the ocean may differ from that to be found in some other part at the same depth by as much as degrees’ Fahrenheit; at 500 fathoms there may be be- tween one part and another a range of as much as 20 degrees Fahrenheit; at 1000 fathoms a range not exceeding 11 de- grees Fahrenhelt, and at 1500 fathoms not exceeding 8 degrees Fahrenheit. A con- sideration, however, of all the available observations shows that there is no evi- dence of any annual variation of tem- perature at any one spot in the ocean at a depth of 100 fathoms; and at a depth of fifty fathoms no annual range greater than 2 degrees Fahrenheit arvelm to be indicated. This remark applies especial- 1y to the open ocean: but, although we have no direct observations, still it is most_probable that along certain coasts a wide range of temperature is occasion- ally mroduced at the bottom in depths of fifty and even 100 fathoms. due to the lateral shifting of large bodies of water from different sources. The evidence of movements like these comes especially from regions where polar and equatorial currents meet or run alongside of each other In_ different directions, as. for in- stance, in the case of the Gulf stream and Labrador current off .the eastern coasts of North America. —_———— The plant known as vervain, which is not distinguished for its beauty, and which grows nowadays utterly disre- garded, was so sacred to the Druids that they only gathered it for their di- vinations when the great dog-star arose, in order that neither sun nor moon should see the deed. —_———— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
