A cablegram received vesterday from Panama by R. A. Feraud, manager of the American Trading Development Com- pany, conveys the news that a big fire is raging in that city. The conflagration has been confined to the seaside east of the public market. Among the Market-street stores destroyed were the grocery estab- lishments of Signor Salgueiro and D. Abad. There is no mention in the mes- sage of any lives having oeen lost or of any fears of the flames spreading to any other part of the city. @ siniminibi e O company and the men; agree it to be referrred to other rep- resentatives not directly engaged in managing thé road or the strike; - the piecework system not to be extended on the Southern Pacific or other lines, ex- cept after conference and agreement with the boller-makers; no discrimina- tion to be made against former employes on the Union Pacific when places are to be filled, and no discrimination to be made on account of their accepting temporarily the piecework or not, and any adjustment thereof to be deter- mined between representatives as above provided. “In lieu of this, call off the strike, both sympathetic and otherwise, as above stated, and refer the whole Union Pacific controversy in its present condition to arbitration to be agreed upon.

Thus a satisfactory under- reached and the rights of all parties interested have beeen protected, including the rights of the company and its new employes and of the old men who are to return to the employment of the company. It is thought probable that the method here established will be conducive of lasting and beneficial results, and that it may be made a basis of settling any differences in the future.

Notwithstanding the current Eastern ideas concerning the characteristic wooli- ness of the Wild West, the fact that San | Francisco is not sufficlently of the fron- tier to permit of ladies walking its streets in male attire was aptly demonstrated last night when three dashing lady tour- ists were made to know the august maj- | esty of the police authorities because they had seen fit to discard their skirts and | dainty lingerie for sack suits. Albeit that the ladles were chic, that | they were strikingly handsome, even in flowered vests and derbies, and despite the fact that it was only on Chinatown's streets that they aired their graces, they were ignominiously haled before Captain of Detectives Martin and Police Chief Wittman. Tears in plenty that rolled down the starched shirt fronts and fas- cinating feminine sobs beneath the flow- ered vests at last melted even the frigid dignity of the captains of the law and they allowed the culprits to escape with a parental reprimand. It was a few minutes befére 10 o’'clock when Officer Brown of the Chinatown squad saw a jeering crowd of Chinese kids following a big man and three dainty little gentlemen on Dupont near Sacra- mento street. He investigated and found that beneath the brown derbys of the delicate young men colls of hair were massed and high-heeled shoes peeped from beneath the trousers’ hems. Promptly summoning a hack, digcreet Officer Brown took the gentleman and his three chic companions down to the Hall of Justice. “What does this mean?” said Captain Martin in his severest tones. “If it please, your Honor,” said one of the nattily clad figures between sobs, “I am from Chicago and my friends are from El Paso and we had heard that it is always customary for ladies to dress thi§ way when they do Chinatown. There was a pitiful tremor in the dulcet tones, which struck to the chivalrous heart of the Captain of Detectives. He consulted at length with Chief Wittman and at last, with a bless-you-my-chil- dren smile, the Chief dismissed the trembling ladles and their equally per- turbed escort. To avoid the inquisitive newspaper men the hack, awaiting in the court of the Hall of Justice, was quickly entered and the horses whipped up Kearny street at a mad rate. But it was too late. Now Mrs. N. V. Dubia of Chicago and Mrs. H. L. D and Mrs. Phelps of El Paso, who are stopping at the Hotel Repelier, are saying nothing about ad- ventures in Chinatown. Neither is Mrs. Phelps’ husband, who was the ladies’ escort. —geen L The British army in India last year numbered 3317 officers and 72,926. non-com- missioned officers and men.

WILL BE SHOWY VRIED CROPS German Agricultural Scientists to Be Well Informed. s Various Entertainment Is Arranged for the Visitors. Many preparations are being made to entertain the party of forty-five agrt- cultural scightists of Germany, who will arrive here to-day. A committee from the Promotion Bu- reau and the local German colony will meet the party at Sixteenth-street station on its arrival and escort it back to this city, where accommodations have already been secured for the guests at the Palace and California hotels. If (he trains are on time and the weathegginviting the party will be glven a ride about the city and to the beach in special cars in the afternoon, and to- morrow morning a trip will be made to the University of California, where the party will be the guest of Professors Hil- gard and Wickson. Returning at noon, a speclal boat and train will carry the Germans' to Mount Tamalpais, and in the evening a banquet will be given at the Palace by the German-American res- idents in honor of the visitors. Charles Bundschu will preside at the-latter func- tion, to which, besides the members of the German party, there have been in- vited the following gentlemen: Mayor Eugene Schmitg, the German Consul General, Adolf Rosenthal; the Austrian Consul, Francis Korbel; President Benja- min Ide Wheeler of the State University, President David Starr Jordan of Stan- ford University, Professors E. W. Hil- gard, B. T. Wickson and Carl Schilling of Berkeley; Professors Julius Goebel and Ewald Fluegel of Stanford, Andrea Sbar- baro, president California Promition Com- mittee; Rufus P. Jennings, executive offi- cer Promotion Committee; A. Frank Hess, secretary Promotion Bureau, and Ham- {iton Wright. TRIP TO UKIAH. Tuesday morning a trip will be made to Ukiah over the California Northwest- ern Railway, which will furnish the party with special accommodations for viewing the fertile country en route, and on the return trip a stop will be made at the Itallan-Swiss colony's vineyards at Asti, where the travelers will be the guests of Andrea Sbarboro at a luncheon. On Tuesday evening the party will take its departure for Southern California, | where a visit to the important agricul- tural districts will be made. Returning here Saturday, the party will spend Sun- day resting and on Monday it will leave for the Northwest. This is the first party of its kind that has undertaken an exten- sive trip over the United States, and rec- ognizing its importance, the Washington authorities have exerted themselves in seeing that the noted visitors are well cared for. The local preparations for entertaining the party, made by the Promotion Bu- reau and . the German-American resi- dents, are most elaborate as well as unique in character and will greatly tend to deeply impress the visitors with the hospitality prevalling among the ecitizens of California.

The leaves of the tree are of a highly sensitive nature, and so full of electricity that whoever touches one of them receives an electric shock. It has a very singular effect upon a mag- netic needle, and will iafluence it at a distance of even seventy feet. The elec- trical strength of the tree varies accord- ing to the time of day, it being strongest at midday and weakest at midnight. In wet weather its power disappears alto- gether. Birds never approach the tree, :mr have insects ever been seen upon t. ADVERTISEMENTS. 100 Doses For One Dollar Economy in medicine must be meas- ured by two things—cost and effect.

WORRIES ABOUT aMALL SURPLUZ S Finance Committee Has Balance of $83,837 Unused. Supervisors Would Specify Items for Which It Is to Be Expended. ! —s What to do with a surplus of $83,37 | in the next municipal tax budget wor- | ried the Finance Committee of the Board 1 of Supervisors considerably at its meet- ing yesterday. The committee had prac- | tically concluded its labors in appropri- | ating various sums out of the revenues to the city departments for their main- tenance during the next fiscal year, when | Expert Cyril Willlams announced thnt{ there remained the sum of $74,572 which | had not been set aside for any specific | purpose. Bookkeeper Leavy of the Board | of Works then informed the committee | that the $224,000 allowed by the commit- | tee for cleaning the streets could be re- | duced to $214,735, which would add $9265 to the surplus, or $83,837 in all. Supervisor Brandensteln, chairman of | the committee, declared at this juncture | that he was in favor of turning over the | sum named to the Board of Public Works | to be expended in the construction of new | streets and sewers. Supervisor Wilson ob- Jected to this course, saying that the com- mittee should make out a list of the items for which it was intended to ex- pend the surplus. Wilson was supported by Supervisors Lotghery and Braunhart, | who argued that §7500 should be at once appropriated for a new elevator in the City Hall and $20,000 for a heating plant | w;hlch they regarded as an absolute neces- sity. ‘Wilson asked Expert Willlams to pre- pare a list of the items for which re- quests had been made to be drawn on | the unapportioned funds. Wilson refer- | red particularly to the petition of the gen- | eral committee of the thirty-seventh Na- tional Encampment, Grand Army of the Republic, that an appropriation of $10,000 be made for the encampment to be held in this city the third week in August. ‘Wilson insisted that another meeting of | the committee be held in order that its ' recommendations on the surplus could be incorporated in the report to be filed with | the Board of Supervisors to-morrow, but no action was taken by the committee, 80 it would seem that the board will pass on the matter, as indeed it will on all the appropriations recommended by the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee allowed itself | $2000 for expert services in Investigating | beoks and accounts of the municipal de- | partments. The matter of making provision to pay | judgments obtained against the Board of | Education by teachers was referred to the | Board of Supervisors for action. The residents of the University Mound and Bay View districts called the atten- tion of the board to the fact that the Poard of Public Works had failed to com- | ply with the order of the Superior Court | that the fences in the districts named be removed on the ground that it would cost | $500 to make necessary surveys of streets. | The petitioners asked that the sum be | allowed the board, but the committee took | no _actlon. The committee decided not to make an | appropriation of $4500 to pay the premiums | on bonds of city officlals, it being the opinion that the act of tne Legislature is invalid. The Department of Electricity was allowed $55,000. —_———— ) Plants That Cough. Man has not the monoply of coughing. ! Before there was a vertebrate on the earth, while man was in process of evolu- tion through the vegetable world, etada tussiens—that is what botanists call him, | while we know him as ‘“‘the coughing bean"—ccughed and blew the dust out of his lungs. Recently botanists have been giving special attention to this bean, and tell interesting things about it. It 1s a native of warm and moist tropical coun- | tries and objects most emphatically to | dust. When dust settles on the branch- | ing pores in the leaves of the plant and | chokes them a gas accumulates inside and when it gains sufficlent pressure there comes an explosion with a sound exactly like coughing and the dust is blown from its lodgment. And, more strange still, the plant gets red In the | face through the effort. i ———————— Sailors have long told tales of mag-! netic islands which lure ships on to wreck | by affecting their compasses. An island, | not far away from clvilization, near the coast of Europe, and known for centuries to the geographers, has been discovered to have this quality. This is the island of Bornholm, which belongs to Denmark, and lies in the Baltic Sea near the shore of Prussia. The power of attraction which comes from this island alters con- siderably the reading of compasses on passing ships.

One of the leading papers Interviewsd some of the old-time dancing masters who taught grace and style to the heads of French soclety and to most of. the Kings, Queens and Princes on the Con- tinent. All bewall the fact that the Amer- ican negro is now teaching the members of European high life to dance, or rather to show how far lack of grace and form can be carried in society. Commenting on the above the Figaro says: “Morgan and other millionaires rob us of our monuments of art, pictures, statues, bronzes and jewsiry: what do we get from America in exchange? The calte- walk, the kangarco figure, a disgraceful fashion of emphasizing the stomach and throwing head and shoulders back as far as possible. “When one looks at a party of society people ‘doing the cakewalk’ one must be afraid to see them topple backward, dis- locate their interior arrangements or drive their knees into the small of the back of the person ahead. It's nasty and indecent, and neither monkeys nor kan- garoos would permit the use of their name in connection with this dance if they could help it.”" Another paper blames Sousa for driving the Vienna waltzes and the old French dances out of the salons, and continues: “When we allow our girls and young men to turn themselves into acrobats in- stead of teaching them the grace and dignity thelr parents and grandparents possessed we have no right to deny a New York life insurance company per- mission to erect an ugly skyscraper on Place de L'Opera.

There came a vivid flash of lightning, followed immediately by a ter- rific'report on the car, and the whole in- terior of the vehicle seemed to be ablasze. ‘When the flame bad vanished the car was filled with smoke. The lightning had struck some trees, the branches of which overhung the stationary car, so that they conducted the lightning current to the ve- hicle, and upon coming in contact with the current propelling the car, it meited the fuse, Fortunately no damage was caused beyond the fusing, though the ve- hicle might have been set ablaze. ——————— Mussulmans over the world have con- tributed $2.500,000 to the construction of the Hedjaz railway from Damascus to Mecca.
