Wool is stagnant, and the manufacturers are buying only from hand to mouth to satisfy a very siack demand. d St A good many cotton mills have also closed down, and too many boot and shoe works are idle for the good of the business. Hides and leather are neglected and very weak, with accumulating stocks. Provisions are not over firm, and locally are very weak and dull, with continued cutting, especially in hams. The livestock market here in San Francisco is again tending up- ward, quotations for almost all descriptions having been marked up during the past few days. The feature in California at the moment is the ex- ordinary demand for fresh fruit. It was thought at e beginning of the season that in view of the warm nter and the apparent size of the crop that we nld be swamped with fruit this summer. But the season has surprised the oldest heads in the trade. It is one of the very besf for years. All kinds of fruit have thus far brought excellent prices, and the usual mer glut has not appeared up to date. The rthern and Eastern demand has been enormous, R and even the canners’ combine has had to buy fruit from second hands to obtain, supplies. st what is causing this fine fruit market is not precisely known. Some dealers think that the crop has been overestimated: others that the demand for shipment has reached such immense proportions that it is absorbing an unprecedented quantity of fruit. However this may be, the cold fact remains that this is one of the finest fruit years California has enjoyed for a long time. General trade in San Francisco is good. With the exception of the hide and leather and wool men the local merchants as a rule report a good outward movement. Provisions are slow? but they always are at this time of the year. Collections are easy, and there are no serious failures. Grains of all kinds are bringing more money, owing to Government and ex- i port necessities. and the feeling is one of cheerful- | people have had confidence. +The Commissioners | . ness and confidence One of the striking and most | Bes- | »m $25 to $i8 and plates from | E CALCULATING THE CHANCES. ‘ OTH the great parties have now placed their | tickets and their platiorms in the field. The rival forces have been lined up. It is to be an- ‘mllcr contest between McKinley and Bryan— | of prosperity against discontent. ‘ vast change in the conditions of business and industry since the former contcst, and some change there will | be in the issues presented to the voters. Consequently | there is more or less uncertainty as to what the re- | sults of the changes will be, and political experts are | | be | ning to speculate concerning them. our years ago McKinley received 7,104,779 and | Bryan 6,502,925 of the popular vote, and of the | Electoral College McKinley received 271 votes against 176 for Bryan. In that election McKinley carried | Maryland, West Virginia and all of Kentucky’s elec- | toral votes except one. It is claimed that he cannot | carry those States this year, and there are some seem- | ingly sanguine Democrats who declare he will lose | New York also. | There are 447 votes in the Electoral College, and it will require 224 votes to elect. The Chicago Times- | Herald figures that Bryan will have this year the 176 votes he received in 1896, and in addition thereto may | carry New York, with thirty-six votes, Kentucky, with twelve in addition to the one given for him be- | fore, and Maryland with eight. . This would give Bryan 232 votes and elect him. need the Maryland vote if he carried the other two. Sanguine Republican experts estimate that Bryan will not only gain rothing this year but will lose many of the votes he received four vears ago. In an estimate published some weeks ago General Grosve- nor conceded Bryan only 174 votes. A Republi- can estimate made during the Philadelphia conven- tion concedes to Bryan only 161 votes and claims for McKinle Such for doubtful States, but it is not to be denied that some of them The only question is what States are to be considered so. The New York World says Bryan has 196 votes sure and McKinley 168 votes sure, and it puts New York, Indiana, Ohio and Min- h a total of 83 votes, as doubtful. It gives Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia as sure for Bryan, and in that -respect runs directly contrary to the Philadelphia estimate that each of those States is stire for.McKinley. Perhaps the most trustworthy calculation yet made is that of the New York Commercfal, as follows: | STATES SURE FOR McKINLEY. Elec. Votes. Elec.

He can lose New York and Indiana and Kentucky and still be elected. Bryan, on the other hand, has only 144 sure votes and has to get 8 more to win. To him New York is a necessity. It is to be noted that every estimate concedes Cali- fornia as surely Republican. Let us keep it so. Some comment has been made that local Demo- crats were far from enthusiastic over the nominations of the Kansas City convention. Unkind critics should give the Democracy at least a short time to recover from the shock. A £ R A new industry seems to have sprung up on the water front.

The Supervisors have no right to determine how the park funds are to be expended, and Mr. Williams, the act- ing Auditor, has so decided. | The action of Phelan in trying to dictate how the | park funds shall be expended was indeed an attempt | to defeat a plain provision of the new charter, of | which he pretends to be such a supporter. With re- | spect to the powers of the Park Board the charter | says: “The Commissioners shall have the complete and exclusive control, management and direction of | the aforesaid parks, squares, avenues and grounds, | and the exclusive right to erect and to superintend the | erection of buildings and structures thereon; and to | that end may employ and appoint superintendents, laborers. surveyors, engincers and other officers and | assistants, and prescribe and fix their duties, authority and compensation. They shall have exclusive man- agement and disbursement of all funds legally appro- | priated or received from any source for the support | of said parks, squares, avenues and grounds.” Of the value of that particular clause of the char- ter the people have now ample proof. Had not the Park Commission been created an independent board we should have seen already the beginning of a sys- tem which in the end would have made the park a part of the spoils cystem of politics. The Super- visors would have appropriated money to be used as they dictated, not as the Commissioners chose. The establishment of a library in the park would have | been a precedent for the estaBlishment of any other | sort of institution the Mayor or the Supervisors might {take a fancy to. In the end the Park Commissioners | would have been reduced to little more than figure- | heads and the City Hall gang be in control of the whole thing. 1 From the beginning the Park Board has been one | of the administrative bodies of the city in which the lhave not always acted wisely, perhaps, or in accord There has been a | In fact, he would not | 1 M | with popular desire at times, but there have been no |@ ¢ & ¢+ E+ G0+ +eoeoo | scandals of johbery or extravagance charged against | any of the Commissioners. It has been an indepen- | dent board in the past, and the charter has wisely con- | tinued it so. Moreover, it is evident the men who | now compose the board will have the courage to maintain its independence. They will employ the | funds appropriated for parks as seems to them most | expedient for the improvement of the public pleasure- ‘grountis, and the attempted dictation. from the City Hall will be as futile as it was foolish, [ A RESFONSE To HEROISM | HIEF SULLIVAN in a letter to The Call set- | C ting forth the amount of money rec_eivcd by him | for the Sweeney fund up to Saturday, and ‘stating the manner in which he intends to invest it, said: “I beg to inclose to you a copy of a letter which I have to-day received from the secretary of the As- sociated Theatrical Managers, which shows that the grand total of the saie of tickets for the perfofmance reached the sum of seven thousand nine hundred and fifty-eight dollars ($7958). The amount of cash con- tributions which have been sent to me up to this | afternoon amounts to the munificent sum of six thou- ! sand five hundred and ninety-three’dollars and sixty cents ($6593 60), giving a grand total of fourteen thousand five hundred and fifty-one dollars and sixty cents ($14,551 60).” The Chief adds that, acting in accord with the wish | of Mrs. Sweeney that he take charge of the fund, he will associate with himself two other trustees and will invest the money in good interest paying securities, and he estimates that the interest, together with the pension paid by the Fire Departient, will assure to ( Mrs. Sweeney and her children an income of about $90 a month. Upon that showing the people of San Francisco are entitled to commendation for the liberality as well as | for the promptness with which they responded to the appeal made to them in behalf of the widow and the children of the heroic fireman who gave his life in the performance of his duty and at the call of hu- manity. The contributions made so generously will be called charity, and yet they were animated less by pity for the forlorn ones than by admiration for the deed oi a true hero of the highest type. Rightly speaking it is, therefore, not so much a charity- fund as a tribute | to that - supreme courage which enables man to achieve sublime action even at the cost of life itself. | It must be gratifying to every right-hearted man to know that he lives in a community responsive to deeds like that. There is something noble in the way with which San Francisco has met the responsibility imposed by the destitution in which the hero’s fam- ily was left. It is now clear we have more of civic virtue than is generally conceded to us; and that we are not indifferent to appeals to the higher sentiments of mankind It is to be noted, moreover, that special thanks in this instance are due to the members of the theatrical profession for their contributions and services. With- out their aid it would have been difficult to have raised sc large a fund, and it could not have been done with anything like the promptness that has marked its achievement. To them, therefore, we owe a debt of gratitude, inasmuch as they enabled us to make a rec- ord so creditable to our cit | THE WIRELES> TELEGRAPH ‘ ARCONT'S system of wireless telegraphy has now passed beyond the experimental stage and has taken its place among the established It | in | means of civilized men for transmitting messages. hzs been employed by the military authorities sending messages between Alcatraz and Fort Mason for upward of two weeks, and the reports are that the system has been found reliable in every respect, the sounders have responded perfectly, and there has peen no difficulty in carrying on conversations be- | tween the two posts by the electric forces sent | brating through the air. | Less than a year ago, on August 24, 1899, The Call | | applied wireless telegraphy for the first time to the | uses of journalism, made the first notably successful experiment with it on the Pacific Coast, and thereby succeeded in transmitting across a wide stretch of sea | the first information of the arrival off the Golden Gate of the transport Sherman bringing home the California volunteers from Manila. A little-later, in connection with the New York Herald, The Call | again demonstrated the practical value of Marconi's | invention by making use of it to report the incidents of the international yacht race. In that instance the telegraphic apparatus was placed upon a steamer, which followed the yachts over their course, and mes- sages were sent from the open sea to the land of every shifting of sails and every tack and feature of the race | s it occurred. | When these feats were achieved they were regarded | vi- | as marvels. Many people were incredulous concerning | | themn. The Examiner openly derided the system, and | | nocked at the inventor as “Signor Macaroni.” That I"was less than one year ago, and yet so swiftly does the modern mind adapt itself to the marvels of science | and invention that what was regarded with incredulity then is now accepted as a fact of such little moment | that it hardly receives attention. People are not sur- prised .that the Government is making use of wire- | less telegraphy; they would probably be surprised if | | it aid not. . The large amount of capital invested in wire sys- tems of telegraphy will of course be adverse to any speedy introduction of wireless telegraphy into com- | mercial use. Nevertheless private enterprise will sconer or later follow governmental enterprise. We | shall have wireless telegraphy in general use | much - sooner than the public expects. That use wili ‘\ come about gradually and silently, until some day : the slow coach Examiner will get a wireless message, | and then the public will be startled by a page of dis- play type announcing that the dispatch was received from the Ahkound of Swat. I Owners of Chinatown property who are thinking of hiring lawyers to fight the sanitary laws would do better to hire good workmen to clean up their prem- ises. That would be not only better business but much cheaper in the end. . The enforcement in Chinatown of the municipal sanitary laws might not solve the whole problem oi | that district, but it would make it a good deal cleaner, and that would be something worth doing. Recent events in China indicate that it is easier to whip the Boxers on paper than it is when they are be- | hind those guns, the fise of which they were taught by eriterprising Europeans. Seldom, perha; has war possessed such grim and ghastly humor as it does now in China. The Chinese are importing Mauser rifles in coffins. The murder feud which has claimed two more vic- tims at Colma might lead one to suspect that he was reading a dispatch from Kentucky [ | following intervals: | British battle: | certain bulkheads filled with putty. i s .Iu\lillum ./» l“ AND MASSACRE THE WHITES?

The latest Easter can occur is April | {26, and it will thus occur but once in the | coming century—in 1843. The last time | it occurred was April 26, 1886.

The day of the week that will not occdk as often as each of the others is Monday. Fifteen out of the hun- dred years will begin on Wednesday and the same number on Friday. Fourteen will begin on each of the other days of the week, Several announcements are made of changes to be inaugurated with the oper ing of the new century. The first of im portance is that Russia will adopt the Gregorian calendar. This will be Bone by omitting thirteen days, the amount of the error that will have accumulated after the close of February, 190. The Russians will then write January 1, 191, instead of De- cember 19, 1900. . The other important announcement is that it is not at all uniikely that the | astronomical day, which now begins at noon of the civil day, will begin with the | civil day at midnight. The present meth- od of having the astronomical day to be- Easter was to prevent its occurring on the | | same date as the Jewish Passover, never- | ® 00 0000000000000 9000900000000 600° T gin twelve hours after the beginning of the civil day Is apt to be confusing. On the other hand, to have the former b L at midnight will be to them somewhat in- convenient. As to eclipses In the coming centu there will be about 350 of them, the nu ber of solar being to the number of lunar in_about the ratio of 4 to 3. What is. the very rare oc e in a calendar year will happen in 1955, the fir time since 1823, viz: Seven eclipses, the largest possible number that can happen in a year. There are elght total solar eclipses pre- dicted to occur visib the United States In 1918, 1979, 1984, There will also occ transits Mercury. A transit of Venus, however which is of much mere importance, W not occur within the next century. earliest date predicted is June S, 2004 While it is claimed at least 1000 comets come within visible range of the earth within a century, there is reasonable cer- tainty of the recurrence of but one ex- traordinary comet in the next century. That one is known as Hailey's. It was last seen In 1835. It will be due again in 1910 or 1911. The exact time is not known, owing to slight modifications in its orbit due to planetary influence. Of cours is not impossible for some hitherto w served comet to appear in all its blazinzg glory at any time. No astronomer knows. Of famous meteoric showers there will probably be three recurrences of the Le- onids in 1932, 195 and in 198, as in the present century, one being due November 13 of this year.—Charleston News and Courer. NEWS OF THE NAVIES. Great Britain will soon have five armor plate factories in operation, the latest in the field being contemplated by the Arm- strong firm at Elswick. The new armor plant will be located at the Openshaw works. S An ugly revort of shoddy work on a hip has reached the Lon- don Engineer. An officer serving on a new- battleship in the Channel squadron discovered a number of rivet holes in The ship was bullt at one of the dockyards. Two hundred and fifty tons of ballast has been put aboard the yacht built to replace the old Victorfa and Albert. This weight will bring the yacht down two feet deeper and-materially decrease her speed. It is the worst case of miscalcu- lation that has ever occurred in any navy, not excepting blunders of a like nature in the French navy. Russla and Turkey have practically no nautical terms of the languages of the respective countries. are largely borrowed from Holland, while Turkey derives her nautical language from Persia, Arabia, Italy, and quite re- cently has accepted some French and English expressions for mechanical parts not known in the Perstan and Arablc tongue. Four new armored cruisers of 8000 tons, 19,000 horsepower and 22 knots speed, are to be buflt for the Italian navy. Thelr armor belt will be 6 Inches thick and the battery will consist of twelve eight-inch quick-firers and twelve three-inch rapld- firing guns. They have been named Ausalfa, Genove, Pisa and Venezia and the plans indicate very handsome ships with very ingenious arrangement of guns. The Norwegian coast defensé ship Efs- vold was launched at the Armstrong yard, Elswick, June 24. She is 380 tons displacement, has a 6-inch armor belt and two turrets, each containing one 8.2 inch quick-firer. The broadside battery is composed’ of six 6-inch, eight 12-pound- ers and six 3-pounders. The engines are of 4500 horsepower, calculated to give a speed of 16% knots and her coal bunk;r‘ capacity is 400 tons. / The recent unfavorable report of the British cruiser Buropa’s enormous coal- consuming capacity is, no doubt, greatly at variance with the facts. It is alleged that she burned 22,000 tons of coal on her voyage from Portsmouth, England, to Sydney, and that she coaled at eight dif- ferent ports. The Europa is a new cruiser of 11,000 tons and has a coal ca- pacity of 1900 tons. On her trip to Sydney the coaling places would only number seven and starting with full bunkers she would have at least 500 tons remaining when replenishing at each coaling port. Those of Russia.| approximate 10,000 tons, or less than one- half of the alleged quantity. The Europa is fitted with Belleville boilers, which does not meet with the approval of the makers of the old-style Scotch boilers. London Truth criticizes Sir William ‘White severely for the unfortynate blun- der with the Queen's new yacht. Labou- chere expresses the opjnion that yacht designing is the simplest of naval archi- tecture, and adds that if the Admiralty is not competent in such a simple affair it cannot be trusted with the complex and scientific design of vessels for national defense. has has recently been done at dockyard.
