The (all correspondent has made a careful canvass of the situation among the growers in this section and finds they are almost unanimously in favor of accepting the offer made by Mr. Crocker. The only point on which many are holding back is the belief that the contract is not as binding on Crocker as it is on the growers. Once convinced they can hold Mr. Crocker to his agreement all opposi- tion will be swept away. SUDDENLY STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY Senator Hayward of Nebraska Is in a Very Precarious Con- dition.

The doctors who were in the fudience speedily made their way to his side and the members of Woodmen sought to keep back the crowd. The doctors worked with him from a little after 1 sitfing on the o'clock, when he was stricken, until al- most 2 o'clock before the Senator recov- ered cons ie was then re-| moved to a residence nearby, where he now is. The wife and son of the Senator were summoned from Nebraska City and arrived on a special train during the afternoon with the family physician. It had been intended to remove Senator Hayward to his home during the after- noon and up to about 4 o'clock it was though this could be safely done. About this time unfavorable symptoms developed and it was decided to abandon the at- tempt. He is now some weaker than at 4 o'clock, and while the doctors have not abandonéd hope they admit he is in a very precarious condition.

Ripley and the party of subordinate officials of the Santa Fe Railway System who are traveling with him, arrived from: San Diego last evening. They will be in Los Angeles until Thursday and may not leave until one day later. In the course | of an interview, Mr. Ripley said: “The business’ prospects throughout tho country were never in better condition than they are at present, and there is no reason why existing conditions should not continue_indefinitely. “The Santa Fe will be running trains between Los Angeles and San Francisco by January 1, 1900, and probably before that. As to the character of train service | which will be placed in commission, I can- not yet say. Those details have not yet arranged and cannot be for some little time. “1_shall make a thorough inspection of the San Joaquin Valley line before return- | ing East, and when that trip is over, w | be able to say just when our trains will | be running in"and out of San Francisco. | “The Santa Fe Pacific has been almost entirely rebuilt in recent years. We have | expended in round figures, a sum in the | neighborhood of $2.000,000 in betterments | between Albuquerque ‘and Mojave since “The travel to Los Angeles from the | East_continues to grow, and as a result | the | Santa Fe will, beginning this fall, b | compelled to run’ two transeontinental | trains each every day. I_have no iirh'n at this time that the Santa Fe rough between Chicago nd San Fran when our line gets into he last-named city. For the present, at { least, the train will continue to run only to Los Angeles. “So far the contemplated removal of Coast_headquarters from Los is_concerned, limited will run th ime in the near future. ““As soon as we are running in and out an Francisco we shall consolidate all he lines in California under one man- agement, as contemplated under the act the last Legistature. The California s may, however, be operated under a single management that time.” |CONTROVERSY INVOLVES t \’ SAN RAFAEL SCHOOLS | SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 15.—What threat- | ens to develop into the most heated con- troversy that ever agitated local school fof fof t c i1 circles had its inception last Sunday morning at a conference between Attor- i'ney Henry Eickhoff and Henry Schlosser, | composing the finance committee of the | Board of Town Trustees, and four mem- { bers of the City Board of Education. At | that conference, h new_High | School building, it was alleged by Prin: | pal Bentley that Attorney Eickhoff ca | ed the High School appropriation for the next fisca r to_be reduced from $8455 | to $7000, ““because of venom and anger, re- | sulting’ from his two boys being discip- | lined.” Tt was further charged that At- | torney Eickboff seconded Huntington's famous statement that 31000 should not be expended in the education of a ten-cent | child, when referring to the fact that at |‘an exvense of $6500 only ten pupils had | been graduated from the high school last year. Atforney Eickhoff explains clearly that his remarks were distorted and says he took his children from the school for good reasons. He is supported by an influential | member of the board. Attorney Eickhoff admits his belief that | cergain persons ‘“have gone education mad,” and says the extravagance of the old School Board has caused all the trouble. — THE BADGER'S CRUISE. | Deferred Until After the Oregon Re- | serves Have Voyaged. | At the request of Brigadfer General Seamans, Adjutant General of California, and Captain Louis Turner, commanding the California Naval Militia, Commander Miller of the Badger has kindly deferred the cruise of the California Naval Militia until after the Oregon Reserves have had their cruise.
