There is a congestion at some points.and a mea- ger supply at others. I have sent men out on the line of the railway to rem- edy this. Our goods are very low. Col- lecting committees are still out. We are having negroes held at distribut- ing places so they can go to work when the water recedes, but they will have to be fed and assisted when they re- turn to work as well as while at dis- tributing points.” It is estimated that over 100 carloads of food supplies and clothing were con- tributed by the people of the State for the sufferers to-day. A number of large cash contributions were received, among them being $10,000 from the C. F. Simmons Medicine Company of St. Louis, through their Texas customers.

To-night Mayor Bergman wired to General Summers, who is returning with the troops, asking him to allow the boys to land here for five or more hours, the intention being to banquet them. The Mayor also wired Governor It is the purpose of the people of this city to get up a monster marine procession and meet the Newport and Ohio at the heads. The troops will be brought ashore and banqueted and otherwise entertained if General Summers’ con- sent to the arrangements can be ob- tained. Without doubt the request will be granted, as several hours—perhaps a day—will be required to transfer the troops from the transports to the river steamers. The coming of the transports will be signgled to Astoria from Tillamook Rock, and the marine procession will immediately leave to meet them. should cont ing the hull, so as to minimize the risk of towing. if on inspection her condition warrants it she will be taken to South- ampton or to some other dock for repairs.

The peremptory withdrawal of El Dorado and Bonanza creeks from location by the | public has brought an army of prospect- | ors to town, who have been employed | along the hilisides and in the pups and | gulches of those two creeks.

The town and the entire especially the diggings, the backbone of the whole thing, are in a state of nervous prostration resulting | from the reports that follow one another in quick succession and which gain ready credence since this remarkable order, at | first laughed at as tmpossible of beilef, | has been certified by the authoritles as | | 2 fact. Tt is reported that other creeks | | are about to be closed and the latest is that after a certain date no more miners’ | licenses or renewals of claims will be | issued.

He will re- fuse to consi: many instances of of- ficial ostracism, so apparent to every- body, as an intimation that the Pr dent desires him to volunteer his resig- nation, and he told a friend again to- day that he would not resign until he had a direct statement from the Presi- dent that such action on his part would be desirable. Under such circum- stances, he said, he would not of course refuse to resign, declaring that like other Cabinet office: his resignation was always at the disposal of the Presi- dent. 2 Concerning the recent situation in re- gard to his retirement, the Secretary refused to make any public statement beyond this one bri entence: “I deny emphatically the report that I have re- fused to resign or that the President has intimated to me that he wants me | to_resign.” It is apparent from this that the Sec- retary does not yet fully appreciate what all of his colleagues in the Cabl- net do, and that is that the President would gladly welcome his resignation. He persists in declaring that some of his enemies in the Cabinet are at the bottom of all the reports circulated about him. There is no doubt that pressure to get the Secretary out of the Cabinet will continue, and it is dif- ficult to see how the Secretary can stand it much longer. NEW YORK, July 11.—General Fran- cis V. Greene, according to a report current here, may be asked by Presi- dent McKinley to succeed General ger as Secretary of War. General Greene conferred with Governor Roose- velt and Senator Platt to-day, but it could not be learned whether his possi- ble appointment was disc ed. It is expected that the Secretaryship will be given to New York, which has had no representation in the Cabinet since Secretary Bliss resigned. HATRED OF CHURCHES. William Steel's Will Gives Bitter Token of His Prejudice. SAN RAFAEL, July 11.—Willilam Stecl, the late manager of the London and San Francisco Bank, during his life was noted for the fervor with which he hatea churches of all denominations and those actively concerned in furthering thefe w fare. Two weeks ago Steel passed to final rest in Mill Valley, and. consistent in his b eft behind him a remarkable document in the shape of a . which forms detestation of rnal rites of will, filed for prob: a monument to his all that pertain: revealed religion. The whole of the estate. valued a t$100.- 000, is left to his widow. Isabel Steel, and at her death wha s to go 1o daughter of deceased. In the event of th death of both the wife and daughter tha property is to go to a Mrs. Little, a sister of Sgeel. In conclusion the body of the peculiar document reads as follows: Ana I make the special request that my body be cremated, and that not one copper coin of the income of my estate “be expended upon or in any chapel or church, or upon the support or encour- agement, directly or indirectly, of a so-called minister of the gospel or mi sionaries of any sect, for the whole o which tribe T entertain a sincere and well-founded and unconquerable aver- sion. . Attacked His Stepfather. SAN RAFAEL, July 11.—Edward T. An- derson was arrested in San Francisco to- day by Constable Thomas Sutton on com- plaint of J. F. Boggren, his stepfather, who charges the youth with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. The principals in the affair live at Novato. It seems from the story of the arresting offl- cer that young Anderson threw a stick of stovewood at his stepfather as the out- come of a quarrel and struck him in the head, inflicting a severe injury. Anderson was taken before Justice C. Dahl at No- vato and his bail fixed at §250. In lleu of this amount he was brought to this city and placed in the custody of Sheriff Tay- lor. He pleaded not guilty and will be tried on July 25. A pale, sickly, suffering woman?
