WASHINGTON, June 9.—The extensive reports of United States Consul Covert at Lyons, France, relative to the success of cannon-firing in France as a means of protecting orchards and vineyards from aflstorms and also for the pu:‘pose of mitigating or nullifying the effects of frosts upon vegetation, have prompted nu- merous inquiries by horticulturists in this country as to when, if at all, our Govern- | m«~n‘l would adopt similar methods of pro- tection, Professor Willls I. Moore, the chief of the Weather Bureau, acting under the di- rection of Secretary Wilson, therefore has {ssued to the press the following state- ment: After an examination of all that has been published during the past two years, my con- viction is that we have here to do with a wopular delusion s remarkable as s the be- iof In the effect of the moon on the weather, The uneducated peasuntry of Iuyrope weem to | be looking for womething miraéulous. — They | would rather belleve in cannonading an a means of protection and spend on it abundance of money, time and labor than udopt thé very simple expedient of mutual insurunce ngainst the losses that must inevitably oceur.

This | stagnation 1is attributed largely to the Epsom attractions, which drew off a ma- Jority of the large operators. The weak- ness of home railway shares and other domestic securities added a depressing ef- fect. As a matter of fact, the Stock Ex- change Is not yet in a humor to respond to the favorable prospect ahead and hesi- tates before resuming rational operations, #0 severely checked by the Northern Pa- cific excitement. There is no doubt, how- ever, that Londoh business is on the eve of a revival and American securities offer the only attractive fleld of operations, To-morrow the Stock Exchange for gen- eral purposes will take up the question of rescinding the Northern Pacific suspen- slon order., BERLIN, June 0.—Throughout last week the Boerse continued under the influence of New York and this fact, coupled with the very considerable depression now ex- l-tlns in business, made the week one of the dullest known for years. The extra- ordinary abundance of ‘money did not ex- ert a stimulating influence, but, on the contrary, a panicky n-nmur was often shown by sudden declines in values on very small transactions. Bpeculation in Americans wholly ceased and but little was done in Canadians. Not even the reduction of the Bank of England rate had favorable effects here. The Relschsbank is reparing for a strain when large American grain pur- chases must be made as a result of the deficiency in the Prussian crops.

SPECIAL OFFICER SHOOTS ONE OF HIS TORMENTOR3 John Fitzgerald, Being Attacked, Sends a Bullet Into James Conwell’s Leg. Special Officer John Fitzgerald late yes- terday afternoon shot James Conwell of 538% Brannan street in the right leg, in- flicting a serious wound. The shooting | occurred at First and Brannan streets. Several Pears ago Fitzgerald arrested “Skinny” Conwell, a brother of the wounded man, for breaking into the Cal- ifornia warehonse, at Second and Town- send streets. “Skinny” was convicted of the crime and sent to San Quentin for twoexears and a half. After being re- leased, a short time ago, he and his lb‘u}ther swore to be revenged on the spe- clal. Meeting Fitzgerald on Brannan street shortly before 6 o’clock last evening, the brothers, accompanied by several other men, started to beat him. James Con- well, so Fitzgerald claims, struck him on the mouth, cutting a_deep gash in his lip. Thinking they would not hesitate to kill him, he says, he drew his revolver and fired a shot at his assailant, the bullet striking him in the leg. Just then Police Officer Hanneberry ap- genred and placed Fitzgerald under arrest or an assauit with a deadl; ‘weapon. Conwell was removed to the Harbor Hos- pital, where nis wound was dressed. His brother was not arrested. R o Sutro Baths Swimming Contests. The results of the swimming contests 1" Sutra Baths yesterday were as fol- ows: 50-yard race—T. Sunburg first, J.

BARBER COMMISSIONERS ARE READY TO ORGANIZE Slaughter --Hbulr E;::ployen wirl Probably Walk Out This Morning. The new Board of State Barber Com- missioners will meet for organization at room 207, Emma Spreckels building, next Wednesday afternoon. The board, which was recently appointed by Governor Gage, s composed of J. J. Calish, Frank Flem- ing of Sacramento and P. W. Drake of Los Angeles. It is likely that Mr. Calish will be selected as president of the com- mission, with the member from Los An- geles as secretary. There is another po<i- tion in the gift of the commission, which will be filled by a local man when the body gets together. According to Mr. Calish, graduates of the so-called ‘‘barber colleges” will have a close shave to sub- stantiate their position in the tonsorial world. The Iron Trades Council met yesterday morning at 1133 Mission street to con- sider matters concerning the strike situa- tion. The Steel Workers'are contempiat- ing similar action to that taken by the Iron Molders, purely as a matter of sym- pathy. They are affiliated with the Iron Trades Council, but so far have refrained from any active participation in the labor disturbance. As a resplt-of the conference held yes- terday it was decided not to handle any work from other than union workmen. This will practically tie up every shop in the city, because with the irom molders and steel workers out it will be impossible to finish any work now on hand. A serious conditicn of affairs exists in the ranks of the journeymen butchers. ‘While the market employes have practi- | cally obtained every concession demand- ed, the slaughterers have many griev- ances and it is expected they will walk out in a body this morning. ‘What is known as the Boss Butchers’ Association, composed of the proprietors of the smaller shops, met yesterday after- noon at the Turk-street Temple and de- cided to concede all demands made upen them, including the placing of the union cards.

MKINLEY GAINS SLIGHTLY Physicians Have Only Another Sinking Spell to Fear. Constant Use of Stimulants. Has Weakened Her Power of Resistance. —— WASHINGTON, June 9.—The slight im- provement in Mrs. McKinley's heaith | which manifested itself the latter part | of the week continues, and hope begins to |be felt that she may after all recover |from the present attack. The improve- ment, however, is so slight as not to change materially the extreme gravity of the case. The usual consultation of | the physicians was held this morning, and at its close the following bulletin was issued: | 11:15 a. m.—Mrs. McKinley's physicians re- | port that she passed a very comfortable night and continues to fmorove. The fact that Mrs. McKinley has more | than held her own and that no unfaver- able turn has occurred is considered in every way encouraging, but as this re- | sult is due partly to the constant use of | powerful medicines the physicians fear | the effect of reducing the stimulaats, and likewise have to cope with the effect on | her system of the constant administra- ‘llon of the oniy means of prolong her |life and making ultimate recovery at These stimulants and California, which is now under better con- trol, have so weakened her powers of re- ever pres- denly from which she cannot be Dr. Rixey regularly makes thr each day, in " the mowning. ns; evening. He called this afterncon about 3 o'clock, and finding Mrs. McKinley comfortable and progressing as w. could be expected he and the Presid went out for a long drive, lasting more than an héur and a half, both going to the sick room at once upon returning. Subsequently tl.e doctor said that no ma- terial change had occurred since the morning bulletin. Friends, official and personal, of the Presidential family, continue to show their sympathy by perscnal inquiries at door and by leaving their cards. Even the members of the Cabinet, as a in order to avold disturbing the patient. Mrs. Charles Emory Smith, Secretary Long, Lieuten- and Mrs.” Miles.' Assistant Secretary of War Sanger and Miss Hitch- icock were among those who thus ex- | pressed their sympathy during the day. Dr. Rixey after his visit to the White | House to-night said on leaving at 10:30 | o’clock: | “Mrs. McKinley is slowly improving. She is resting very comfortably now and |is_doing very nicely.” Mrs. McKinley will be taken to Canton whenever she is in condition to make the journey. Extensive improvements have | been made at the McKinley home in Can- | ton, and it was planned last autumn that she and the President should go to Can- ton about July 1 of this summer. In case of Mrs. McKinley's recovery this plan will be carried out, though it is not ex- pected she would be strong enough to Jeave here the 1st of July, even if ime ‘Provement should continue steadily.
