MILLIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT. Southern Pacific to Profit by the Union Pacific Loan. NEW YORK, July 1 feature of the money market to-day was the | nouncement that the Union Pacific Rall road Company had fallen into line with otaer corporations which have turned up y as borrowers on short time and recen had sold $10,00,000 one and a half year 5 per cent notes at 9§ establishing a rate of 6 per cent for the loan. The of- ficlal statement regarding the transaction is as follows: The Union Pacific Railroad Company, for the purpose of financing the require- nts of affiliated ‘companies, $10,000,000 one and half year 5 per cent notes. The Union Pacific has an excess of funds of its own, but deemed it well un- der prevailing conditions to avail of its credit for the benefit of its affiliated lines the surplus earnings of which it Is expect- ed will provide for the bulk of these ad- vances. The loan was negotiated by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Of the total amount of the Issue about one-third was placed abroad and the balance with large financial institu- tions in this city. The response to the offering of the loan was highly gratifying. notices having been sent out on Tuesda: | evening and the entire amount taken by 11 o'clock in the forenoon of to-day. While in Wall street opinions differed as to heavy corporate borrowing, as evi- denced by this and other cases; the firm negotiating the loan said that it was cer- tainly an encouraging sign and clearly in- dicated that money was readily available | for high class undertakings. It is understood that most of the money | raised will be used for the continuance of the construction and improvement work already planned for the Southern Pacific Company. It was intimated that part of the proceeds might be utilized to acquire additional property, which, it was said in | Wall street, was some suburban trolley lines in Los Angeles.

Business Men Say Eastern Panic | Canrot Affect Coast. Representative bankers and merchants | of Ban Francisco declare that the flurry | in the stock market on Wall street, New | York, does not largely interest the Pacific Coast. One reason for this is that there are no very large holdings of Eastern se- curities in this city that are affected. An- other is that money is abundant here— sufficient to mpve all the crops. Also, it is the general opinion that business on the Pacific Coast is on a sound and rela- tively independent basis. A. A. Watkins, president of the San Francisco Board of Trade says: “Business is flourishing on the Pacific Coast.

King, president of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank, says: “New York does not affect us very much. There Is plenty of money here for the transaction of business. The price on many stocks on Wall street has been too high. Many con- cerns have been overcapitalized. The re. action 1s natural. There is nothing in the situation to disturb the Pacific Coast.” T. C. Friedlander, secret Francisco Merchants' F xchange, Fr: says: General conditions are satisfactory. The grain crops are not large, but the prices are good, and the outlook is favorable for good prices for frult, wine and cattle, and other products are all right. We are particularly favored by low frelghts, due to the coming of a large fleet of coal- laden vesselss There is a large congestion of sall tonnage. This is good for the farmers of the State.

BUDA PEST, July 15.—The political sit- uation is again critical and is likely to produce a crisis involving the fate of the new cabinet headed by Count Hedervary. the former Ban of Croatia. The trial of strength between the moderate and ex- treme wings of the Independence party, Herr Barabash, has resulted fn a victory for the latter. Barabash declared war against HederVary Ministry. His party {s bent upon a policy of obstruction Government consents to either nationalize the Hungarian part of the army or Pre- | mier Hedervary resigns. Thus the com- pact between Count Hedervary and Kos- suth, which enabled the former to accept office, falls to the ground, as Herr Bara- bash commands sufficlent votes to form a Parliamentary deadlock. Kossuth to-day resigned the leadership of the Independence party, two vice-pres- idents of which have also resigned. The situation is regarded as chaotic, as the Emperor is disinclined to concede Herr Barabash’s demands. —— Native Daughters Install Officers. ‘WOODLAND, July 15.—Woodland Par- lor No. %, N.'D. G.

The | possibility of taking any backward steps | are scoffed at, if mentioned by outsiders. | It was admitted that the war possibility | was discussed, but it was denled that it | was the object of the conference. Evidences of increase of warlike prepa- | rations since the arrival of General Kuro- | patkin, the Minister of War, and of the | intengion to bring more troops to Man- churfa are abundant. Orders were given | to Port Arthur contractors last week for an immediate ply of building ma~ | terfals for barracks to accommodate 20,- ! 000 soldiers to be shippeg to Harbin. | The ofticials explained that Russia's op- ! position to opening Manchurian towns to | foreigners was not based upon opposition | to forelgners, whose trade is desired and who woud in due time be invited into the country. But Russia objected, they explained, to having Consuls accredited | to the Chinese Government in towns which are practically under Russian con- | trol, which would give the subjects of countries so represented the enjoyment of | extra territorial rights. They asserted that such arrangements would be certain | to result in great frietion, such as oc- | curred in Newchwang. | WASHINGTON, July 15.—At the State | Department to-day it developed that the conference between Secretary Hay and | Theodore Hanson yesterday regarding the | Manchurian situation was of the most satisfactory nature. As a result of the conference Secretary Hay will fur..er ad- vise the American Treaty Commissloners in Peking of what transpired yesterday | and 1t is hoped these adaitional instruc- | tions will pave the way for an early set- churfa, which is the one point in contro- versy. The Japanese Minister, Kagoro Taka- hira, who called at the State Department to inquire regarding the confer- ence yvesterday, has been glven to under- stand that Mr. Hay's policy in Man- churia is solely to secure open ports to the world. @ il el @ LOVE'S MESSAGE COMES IN TIME | Telegram From Sweet- heart Saves Young Man’s Reason. | | SEATTLE, Wash., July 15.—“San Fran- cisco, Cal., July 10, 1903.—Waiting for the ring.

SANTA BARBARA, July 15.—The first of the vacht races brought off at the mid- summer tournament took place this af- ternoon under the most favorable condi- tions. Five boats of the cruising sloop class crossed the line for a run over g seven-mile . triangular _ course twice around. They were the Venus of Santa Monica, Katrina of San Pedro, Daisy of Ventura, Ariel and Sea Spray of Santa Barbara. The Daisy dropped out of the race on the first leg, the other four re- maining to the finish. Venus and Katrina kept abreast until the last leg on the ! second round, when Venus made a spurt and crossed the home line one minute ten seconds ahead of the 8an Pedro boat, The same boats will be entered in a simi. lar race to-morrow. The Lurline and the Ramona of the schooner yacht class are entered for races later in the week.

LOUIS, July 15.—The “kid party for | grown folks,” =0 popular in some Eastern | cities, was Introduced last night to St | Louts by Judge and Mrs. James L. Blair at their beautiful suburban home at Kirk- | wood. Two score of the best known men and women in town were present. The I ’dles wore short dresses, made in childish fashion, with their hair down their backs. The men were attired in short trousers, troublesome walists and the dropstitch | half-hose of babyhood. The games which were played provoked hilarity among men who do not laugh often. ‘“Wade the swamp,” forfeits, Kin, Willlam, postoffice and other kissing games made the evening pass as quickly as of old.

A. R. Denke's real estate office in Croll'’s Hotel was demolished and the barroom in the hosteiry appeared as | if a Kansas cyclone had blown through it. Windows were shattered in several cottages and fences and trees torn and twisted. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. What the cause of the exvlosion was has not been determined, but there are some who think the boller, which was an old one, had become weakened from wear and was no longer strong enough to withstand the generation of steam up to the 12%5-pound gauge mark, the pres- sure generally maintained on local train locomotives. An examination of sections of the boiler that were scattered around disclosed that in some places the metal was worn very thin, apparently from cor- rosion. Engineer Duncan and Roadmas- ter J. H. Eby profess that they are un- able to give any reason why the locomo- tive exploded. Duncan, Gale and Hansen had thrilling experiences in the cab. In telling of his sensations the engineer said: . 1 had shut off the steam and was letting the locomotive roll easily up to the Fifth-street station. The east-bound local was just pulling foward us from Fifth street and I was aiming not to reach the station until the oncoming frain had cleared it. Just as we began to run up the incline crossing Seventh street I heard a hissing, as If the cock on the water gauge ed. > . reached. indtisictively. taward & re a s a5y rushing steam and tumbled from my seat.

NO LACK OF WATER. 1 have run locomotives for thirty-one years, but 1 am at a loss to explain why this explo- slon happened. ~The locomotive was an old one, but I have handled others that were older. No. 2088 never gave me much trouble and was a good “‘steamer.” The explosion was proba- bly due to some defect in the locomotive that had never been uncovered. I am satisfied that it was not caused by a lack of water in the boller. Had it been due to such a cause the crown sheet of the fire-box would have been blown off; force of the explosion would very likely have come toward the cab and I 15.—With a hiss| found himself in the | ter deluged trees on both sides of the of the neighborhood and the passengers | i motive was hroken in two, just forward guard of | locomotive blew up. | | | | . would not be here to give any explanations. The locomotive was carrying about 125 pounds of steam this morning. Here is Fireman Gale’s version of his experjence: | 1 was stooping over with the furnace door opened and a shovel of coal In my hand. As | 1 looked into the furnace 1 heard a rumble and the fire ‘seemed to be jumping right at me. Coal, clinkers and cinders hit me in the face like a shower of shot and I was swept out and up on the cpal in the back of the tender.
