For all purposes at least $50.- 000 will be necessary, and 1 members of soclety sho have an opportunity to con- tribute to the fund.

Some came back yesterday from the torrid plains of San Rogue on the steamer Curacao. They say the place is nothing but a “tallings camp,” and a man is doing well who makes $1 50 a day. The Curacao brought up forty-seven cabin and thirty-seven second-class pas- sengers. Among them were Herrias and Jose merchants of Enscnada, who are here on business and pleasure. They say the San Roque boom is dead and that very few | will Mercelits | Somelhera, wealthy | people are left on the field outside of those | who were there when the rush began. W. W. Lewis and C. H. Junker are two of the miners. who came back on the Cura- cao. Mr. Lewis has a small quantity gold in a glas vial, which he brought home with him as a curiosity is worth about $2 75, and it took Mr. Lew- is three weeks to pan it out of the San Roque sand. Mr. Junker is crippled with rheumatism, and that is all he has to show for his gold hunt in Mexico. Both these men have been in placer mines in almost every gold country on the face of the earth, and both are unanimous in saying that Ban Roque is the worst spot they ever struck ““There were only he field when we Lewis ye y. “All the remainder, to the number of a0 or 80), were Mexicans or Indians. There would have been a great deal of suffering had not the Mexi- can Government sent the gunboat Demo- ata to take us away On her last t o landed about 100 at Ensenada, and from there we have made our way home. “The Mexican Goyernment made no charge for mining. They sent an expert and he reported the fielc as worked out.

He says there has been no rain in she cen- tral part of Lower California for four years, and everything would have died had it not been for irrigatlon: He did| not visit the San Roque goldfields, but he heard enough of them from disap- pointed gold hunters wnom he met at va- Tious points during his travels. "There was a rush of people to the water front yesterday morning. Some senseless person notified the Eureka planing mills that one of the transports was coming in, and in consequence the siren was blown. All the other whistles on the fi took up the refrain and soon thousands of people were asking what transport was coming in. For three hours the clerks Merchants’ Exchange were Kept vering telephone calls and tell- : that it was a false alarm and | no transport was in sight | “Captain_Meyer of the American shtp John C.

Captain Meyer secured these on Saturday afternoon and notified the doc- tor to come down and give him a bill of health. The medico had an important en- gagement, but nevertheless went to the Potter. When he got there the two men ad not arrived, so the doctor departed, would give the bill of health on Monday. This did not suit the cap- tain, and when his men came aboard he sailed without it. The health authorities at Honolulu were angry over the sailing of the Potter, and at once notified the Collector of Customs at Port Townsend. The agent of the ves- applied for a clean bill of heaith to rd to Captain Meyer, but it was; refused him. Meyer suspected that he would have trouble, 8o when he reached Port Townsend he kept the tugboat along- he Potter w | | side the ship.

It ia claimed that such delays could be avoid- ed if the commanders were more attentive to_duty. Friends of the adjutant general say that the reason for the issuance of a new order as to physical examination was that the first one issued simply atated that there should be “a phys&nl exam- ination,’” without specitying what that ex- amination should consist of, and that the new one is explicit as to detalls. Under thedpre\'lu\ls order the examinations were made as they are made in the States army.

After the prayer meeting fol- lowed a series of papers pertaining to Woman’s Work and How It Was Done." The first paper submitted was written by Mrs. J. H. Warren and read by Mrs. J. McDonald. Mrs. Warren was the third woman to join the church, and her paper was filled with interesting reminiscences, Mrs. Warren's ~ description of the old | ‘First Church” on_Virginla street, off | Jackson, between Stockton and Powell, was extremely picturesque. In the course of her paper Mrs. Warren paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. Hunt, wife of the first pastor of the church. | “"After Mrs. Warren's paper Mrs. R. C.

The strange action of the department in this matter can be explained only by inferring the following motives, which conditions compel us | to note: First, the desire to unduly flood the | labor market and thus check the struggle of | the workingmen for improved conditions; sec- ondly, to compel the volunteers, driven by want and_destitution, to re-enlist; thirdly, to prevent the return of the volunteers to_thelr homes, where to their friends and relatives | they would undoubtedly give the true version of the people, the climate and the general con- | ditions in the Philippines as produced by our war of conquest. The great majority of the returning volun- teers, when paid off, will quickly epend their money—they have the soldier spirit and de- sires and are young, and San Francisco has the S 0 et e 2 O 0 . $1.50 and $1.75..
