The principal subject under discussion was the transfer of all interests in the Pacific Improvement Combany to the bankers’ syndicate. This company, which has a purely nominal capital, owned the San Francisco terminals used by the Southern Pacific, the Hotel del Monte in Southern California and hotel property and eating stations along the line of the various roads controlled by the Southern Pacific Company. Of the four equal interests in this cor- poration the bankers are now understood to own the Huntington, Hubbard and Stanford interests. eorge Crocker has refused heretofore to sell, but it is now believed that he will do so.

P. Huntington in the Mills building between Mrs. Leland Stanford, George Crocker, F. H.

Mr. Huntington with his friends thus comes into sole control of the great continental system. Mrs. Stanford returned last Saturday on the Campania with Edward Speyer, the London representative of Speyer Bros., who In turn represent the London bond- holders.

L—The power plant of the Standard Electric Com- pany, half a mile above Big Bar bridge, on the Mokelumne River, was totally de- stroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. The entire corrugated iron and steel framed and steel trussed building was gutted. The men on watch barely escaped with their lives. g The fire started at 5:10 this morning and in a twinkling the interior of the large power-house was ablaze. The building was 120 feet long by 60 feet wide and was supposed to be absolutely fireproof, noth- ing but steel, fron and cement having been used in its construction, It was one of the best equipped power-houses In the country, containing three Pelton water wheels of 700 horsepower each, three dy- namos of 800 horsepower each, full effi- clency, and nine transformers, of which six were in use at the time the fire oc- curred. These transformers carried eigh- teen barrels of petroleum each, and to cool the fluld were constantly sprayed with cold water. Because of the liabili to overheating these transformers are al- ways considered dangerous and are usu- formers became overheated, possibly by neglect of the watch on duty, and ignited the oil, whence it was carried from tank to tank, the dynamos adding fuel to the flames. Those who witnessed the fire say that it seemed as if a bolt of lightning had fallen upon the building, and .n- stantly it was one sheet of flame. The men on watch did not have time to turn off the water and stop the machinery and portions of the plant not destroyed ran up to noon to-day. The electric display following the explo- sion of the petroleum tanks was simply agnificent, the ga,la blue flames of the snakellke wires showing luridly through the dark, dense coal ofil smoke. The line was burned out for quite a distance about the plant, the big glass insulators drop- ping one by one as the current reached them. The heat, danger from_ explosions and fear of live wires prevented all efforts at saving the building. The intensity of the heat is shown in the warped and twisted iron and steel supports and trusses, hopelessly entwined with copper wires, sections of dynamos and trans- formers in sections forming a trellis work that will never again be molested. The only thing worth saving in. the building in the water; wheels, which were under a fall of 1043 feet of 750 inches of water, which generated 2400 horsepower firms of Speyer & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & af criminal accused ch Gen ) the pres! ion was asant m the hod and beneficial known remedy, factured by the vp Co., illustrate aining the liquid laxa- lants known to be cceptabl perfect stren, sing the syste y I daches and fevers and enabling one quality and sub- z on the kidneys s, without weakening or irritatiag them, make it the ideal s of manufacturing figs they are pleasant to the the medicinal qualities of the from senna and order to get its beneficial void imitations, please ull name of the Company d on the front of every package. print CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

The following recommendation is made for extra pay for the officers serving in our new possessions: The pay of all officers below the grade of brigadier general should be increased at least 1-3 per cent while on duty in Cuba or our w possessions.

Of the criticilsms of the staff organiza- tion of the army, General Corbin says: Much has been written of late concerning a better staff sgstem. Ours may be, and doubt- less is, open to improvements, but it should be borne in mind that the present organization is the result of years of legislation borne of the best thought and labor of our best military men and has stood s sstully the test of all our wars. The criticisms of our system are too often the result of disappointment. has there one appeared in print whose author has not been a long-standing applicant for a place in one of the staff corps or departments. The suggestion that our staff officers are not experienced in the duties of line officers is not borne cut by facts. The report dwells on the courtesies shown our troops by the British Govern- ment offictals while stopping at Gibraltar and elsewhere en route to the Philippines, and says this international courtesy will | { long live in the memories of both parties | to the spontaneous exchange.

Recommendation is made that non-commissioned officers be given ad- ditional pay in order to attract to these | places a worthy class, willing to stay in | those grades, and that twenty-five vears’ | service as an enlisted man shall be suf- | ficient to admit to the retired list of en- listed men.

It | is_believed that the time has arrived | when the artillery branch of the service | should be reorganized and the fleld ar- | tillery separated from that engaged in | the coast defense. | It is recommended that the regimental | organization of the artillery be abolished | | | and that a corps of field artillery and one of sea coast artillery be provided fn:‘. separate and distinct from each other. In a resume General Corbin say: The regular army is now practically at a maximum, as are aleo the volunteer regiments. The work incident to all these changes, | brought about by the acts aforesaid, involving | the enlistment of 235,500 volunteers: the in- | crease of the regular army from 000; its subsequent reduction, its Increase to 65000, necessitating numerous orders and instructions bearing on the same, to say nothing of the complete military record of every officer and man of this large force— | the magnitude of this work cannot be under- [fi(nnfl until undertaken.

Garner and Minnie Housewortn stand charged with the grave offense. | The courtroom was crowded long before | the arriva! of the hour, so great was the | interest taken in the matter. When the | hour arrived William H. Schooler, attor- ney for Dr. Rodney, asked the court for an extension of time for his client to make his plea and the same was granted until November 13. Mrs. Houseworth was given the same period. The spectators were anxious for the time to arrive when J. M. Garner would enter | his plea. Garner was not represented by | counsel and to the charge of perjury he | pleaded guilty and to the forgery mot guilty. December 4 is the time set for | passing sentence, and his bondsmen hav- Ing withdrawn, he was remanded to the | custody of the Sheriff.

When the | Massachusetts, for instance, was tele- graphing to the New York the operator | at Navesink sent a message at the same time, and the result on the receiving side of the New York's set was a mass of un- | readable characters caused by the two serles of electrical impulses reaching the instrument at the same time. This was done deliberately.
