Engineer Deming and his fireman were released with little trou- ble, but Engineer Gray and his fireman were held captive in the cab for sev- eral hours until released by big crews of men sent from Truckee and other near-by points. None of the crew was | injured.

The New Hope coun- try has again “gone under’” and is even more deeply submerged than it was in the big flood three weeks ago. This afternoon the water came as near as the Calaveras River and as far east as the lower Sacramento road, being the overflow from the Sacramento and which has been let loose through the Edwards levee break. The people be- gan moving out of the sectlon early this afternoon, loading their belongings into wagons and driving out their stock. The upper San' Joaquin rose steadily during the day, but became stationary at nightfall, registering thir- teen feet at the county bridge, which is the high water mark. Unverified reports were current this evening of breaks in the lower division of Roberts Island and on Victoria Isl- and. TFAIL TO CLOSE BREAK. SACRAMENTO, March 23. — The high water situation is still giving the river residents much concern. The situation south of the city of Sacra- mento is not reassuring. After the Edwards break occurred the trustees of Reclamation District 535 con- tracted with Darby Laydon of San Francisco to stop further erosion at the ends with piling of a certain length. This piling has washed away and with it nearly 200 feet of levee heretofore sound. The trustees claim Laydon violated his contract by driv- ing shorter piles than those bargained for and they will refuse to pay his claim. The contract for closing the Edwards break itself was let to Clark & Henery of Stockton for about $24,000 and the work should have The action of the high water and the destruction of the Laydon work and new portions of the levee have combined to keep the break open and water" is still coursing through it. The river itself is not at a danger point at Sacramento, but the backwater from the Edwards break has attained an average depth of five feet upon 10,000 acres below the city and only the Y-street levee, a bar- rier which has thus far proved very effective, keeps it from coming into the lower part of the city. ALEENF LTl SACRAMENTO NOT IN DANGER. Floods Have Done No Damage to Cities Along the River, J. G. Martine, a resident of Sacra- mento and commissioner to the St. Louis Exposition representing the city county of Sacramento and the Chamber of Commerce there, arrived | in this city last evening. Regarding the | ficod situation he said: “The people of San Francisco are mistaken if they believe that Sacra- miento and the cities along the rover were greatly damaged by the late flood nd heavy rains. They have heen told that the northern part of the country s one great waste of water and that it will be many years before the damage can be revaired. To the contrary, Te- hama, Redding, Red Bluff and Sacra- mento are perfectly safe from any great damage and have been through- out the entire season. In Sacramento more than 160 houses are now under construction, and there is no reason why within a few years the capital's population should not be doubled. With the advent of the Santa Fe and Central Pacific railways into Sacramento the city itself and surrounding towns will flourish, and already laborers from all parts of the State are hurrying to the Sacramento Valley, for they know that their services will be accepted there, “But as for California suffering from the great rains and floods—this is the mast prosperous year in the history of the State, and Californians are to be | congratulated.” ———— TEXAS FEVER DOES NOT AFFECT NAPA CATTLE State Veterinarian Blemer Finds Ticks on the Animals, but Variety Is Different. NAPA, March 23.—State Veterinar- ian Charles H. Blemer has finished his investigation into the condition of the band of cattle recently imported into Napa County and Lake County by the Pacific Improvement Company. He will file written report with the Super- visors of Napa County in a few days. Dr. Blemer went by way of Middle- town into Jerusalem Valley, where about 570 of the herd were located on the Lake County side of Putah Creek. He found nearly all the cattle had ticks on them, but not Texas fever ticks. He is convinced that the cattle are not infected with any disease. This means that no quarantine will be es- | tablished and no further action taken Arizona was visited to-day by a heavy rainstorm, with snow in the mountains and rain in the valleys. An inch of rain fell, which is the best storm of the season and almost equals the total pi ipitation of all previous storms of t Considerable loss to sheep and cattle men has been caused by the prolonged drought. —_— Snowhall Fight in San Jose. SAN JOSE, March 23.—The pupils of the Grant School in this city enjoyed a snowball battle yesterday. A large barrel of snow was brought down by the driver of the Mount Hamilton stage and given to the children. Many of the pupils had never seen snow be- fore and the snowballing proved a merry treat. The barrel of snow had been packed with great care and be- fore it was exhausted great sport was had. The snow battle was a strange sight amid blossoms in full bloom in the school yard, the snowballs rolling around among blcssoming geraniums, roses, violets and other plants. —_——— Smelter May Shut Down. REDDING, March 23.—It was giv- en oul this morning that the smelter at Captain J. R. Delamar’s Bully Hill may have to be shut down on account of lack of coke. The company has an abundance of coke at Bella Vista, dis- tant fourteen miles, awaiting ship- ment by wagon to Bully Hill, but the storm which has been in progress since February 3 has made freighting impossible for several weeks. The coke supply at the smelter has dwin- dled so low that a suspension of oper- ations may be necessary before an- otbher week. by State or county as to the disposi- tion of cattle. Ticks on cattle import- ed are much like Texas ticks in ap- pearance except as to shape and size of head and general method of work- ing on the cattle. —_—— Santa Cruz City Ticket.

SAN DIEGO, March 23..~The best rain that has fallen in San Diego ! County this year was the one which began in showers last night and came down in little less than torrents at| about & o’clock this morning. Back country reports show the mountain streams running and the fall has done an immense amount of good. The farmers throughout the county are| now practically certain of a hay crop and if a little more rain falls and the weather is favorable during April and May, that is, without any exceedingly | dry and burning weather, some of MARTIAL LAW “FOR TRINIDAD AP Members of National Guard Replace Watchmen Em- ployed by Mine Owners RESORTS ARE CLOSED Major Hill Gives Orders Requiring All Citizens to Report Possession of Arms g il TRINIDAD, Colo., March 23.—A spe- cial train bearing 380 members of the National Guard arrived here at noon to-day. The coming of the troops caused absolutely no excitement. Camp was established in this city and detachments were sent out to the var- ious coal camps to relieve the mine | guards employed by the coal companies at $5 per diem. Immediately upon ar- rival of the militiamen Major Hill read his first general order placing the en- tire county under martial law and or- dering all saloons, dance halls and other resorts of a questionable charac- them will harvest grain crops. The | fall of last night to 5 o’clock this| morning was .38 of an inch and di-| rectly after that hour the fall was | sufficlently heavy to mark .81 upon | the gauge. The heaviest rain came to ‘ the back country, or rather to the! foothills this side of the mountains. Julian reported full three inches of ter to close at 9 p. m. daily. All citi- zens having firearms in their posses- sion are ordered to register them im- mediately with the military authori- ties, and the sale of firearms and am- munition in the county is absolutely forbidden. The mine owners have insisted for months past that they could not get rain and all the streams running. | Cuyamaca reported 2.96 and water | flowed into the reservoir. Upper Otay | zeported .89 of an inch and the two | streams running into the reservoir. The rain was accompanied by heavy | winds. DAMAGE IN MARIN. SAN RAFAEL, March 23,—Marin County has had more rain up to the present time this season than for any previous entire year since 1889, and with two exceptions since 1875. The precipitation for this immediate vicin- ity thus far this season has been 43.39. In the last four days the downpour has been registered at 2.53 inches, be- ing over .one inch in the last twenty- four hours. In one storm last month eleven inches fell in three days. Last season's entire rainfall at San Rafael was 26.46. There has been much damage in all parts of the county and while San Ra- fael has received the greatest precip- itation, yet the damage is not as great as in other portions of the countv. Generally Sausalito and Mill Valley both record a greater amount of rain. This year is an exception. Sausalito has had 28.35 for this season, while up to the same time last vear it had 45.53 inches. Great damage has been done to vegetable and fruit farms, while the overflowing of streams hus caused havoc with property. Many elegant residences in Ross Valley and San Anselmo have,been injured, while reports from up country points state that hundreds of acres of land ure inundated. GOOD OUTLOOK AT HANFORD. \ HANFORD, March 23.—The storm ' that has been coming down the valley for several days reached here Tues- day afternoon and a good, steady rain continued through most of the after- noon and night, with a total precipi- tation of one inch, which makes a to- | tal for the season of 5.15 inches. This | last rain is the heaviest one of the ason and although the cold wind of to-day dried it up considerably, yet the prospects are very encouraging for a good year in every line of industry. The storms in the mountains have caused the water in Kings River to i | rise seven and a half feet and this looks encouraging to those who have to irrigate. There is some indication of frost to-night, and if it is a heavy one the fruit crop will be damoged materially, but the light frosts of late have done no harm. The high wind | here last night did some damage. The | storm at Coalinga amounted to 1.0, which is an exceedingly heavy rain for that section. ‘ JOY IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY. | SAN JOSE, March 23.—Unless some- ' thing out of the ordinary occur, Santa Clara Valley should reap a golden har- vest this year. Not for years has the county received such a soaking as it has during the months of February and March. During the month of Feb- ruary 2.43 inches of rain fell. and so far this month there have been 3.43 inches of rain. This makes a total ot 10.92 inches for the season, against 12,29 inches to the same date last year. Last year the rains came earlier. For the twenty-four hours ending this morning .40 of an inch fell. This after- noon it is clear and it is believed the ! storm is over. Few seasons have been more pro-. pitious than this one for big crops. The late rains and warm weather will cause everything to grow. Prune trees are beginning to bud, and in another month the orchards will be in full bloom. Hay and grain are looking fine, and there is now plenty of moist- ure in the ground to assure fine crops. BALLARD, March 23. — The storm which has been gathering for several | days resulted in a little over half an inch of rain last night. Although the wind changed and a north gale is blowing, yet appearances indicate more rain. The rainfall for the season is 5.60 inches. RIVERSIDE, March 23. — A furious ' rain kept up all night here until this morning. The precipitation was 1.82 inches. The rain was general over the county, although it was heaviest in the mountain and foothill regions. BISHOP, March 23. — The rain here during last night was 1.19 inches, bring- | ing the total of March up to 2.22. The total precipitation since September 1 is a half an inch above the normal. The mountains are better covered with snow than usual, insuring an ample supply of water for summer irrigation. SANTA ANA, March 23. — The heaviest rain of the season fell here last night, with a recorded precipita-]| . tion of 1.91 inches, making the season’s total 5.10 inches. In the mountains and the grain-producing country east of here 2% inches fell, bringing the total up to more than 8 inches and insuring hay crops. ample mountain pasture and a fair honey crop, which were hereto- &ore da doubt. | ground that he could no longer con- | Ouray, | ern Federation of Miners and the de- | | be contemplating a general men to operate their properties because non-unionists were afraid to go to work unless afforded military protec- | tion.

According | to news from Telluride, the principal town of the San Juan mining district, which includes San Miguel County, a proclamation issued by Governor Pea- body was read there to-night declaring the county to be in a state of insur- rection and rebellion and ordering Cap- | tain Wells of the local troop to assume control of the affairs of the county. In the proclamation it is stated that certain armed bands within and with- out the county are preparing to join forces for the purpose of resisting lhel‘ law and destroying property. Another reason given for placing the military | in control is that crimes have been committed and threats are being made | by alleged disordenly persons. | The primary cause for the placing of | San Miguel under the control of the | military again is the trouble between | the union miners and the Citizens'! Alliance, which resulted in the deport- i ing of a number of union men several | days ago. The action of the Governor | was consequent upon an appeal from | the Sheriff of the county, who stated that affairs had reached such a state ! that he could no longer enforce the law. | L R R The town of Telluride is reported to be quiet to-night. Information from a neighboring mining camp, where the deported Telluride men sought refuge, tells of a joint meeting | held there to-night between the unions of Silverton and Ouray, which was at- | tended by President Moyer of the West- ported Telluride unionists. It was de- | cided to start some of the evicted men back to Telluride to-morrow to test| the situation. This will be done under | the injunction issued by Judge Stevens | of Ouray yesterday. If the men are interfered with a stand will be made | first on the powers of the injunction. Should this prove unavailing, President | Moyer says that proceedings for dam- | ages will be commenced in the Federal | courts against all concerned in the de- ;gtntlnn of the Telluride unionists. | also said that charges of kidnap- ing may be brought against them under the Federal laws. i — TALKS OF ARBITRATION. Few Union Men Listen to Address of P. H. Scullin in Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, March 23.—Mayor Hassett presided at a meeting in Sier- | ra Hall to-night that was called for | the purpose of hearing an address by | P. H. Scullin, who advocates arbitra- | tion in settlement of the present la- bor troubles between mechanics af- filiated with the Building Trades | Council and their employers. Only about forty-five men were present. Scullin, in accounting for this, de- clared that the meeting was boycotted by the union men. “This will do them no good, as it shows that they do not want fair play,” said Scullin. Scullin made an earnest address, ad- vocating resort to arbitration in ad- justing such difficulties. He was lis- tened to with great attention by the persons present and his views appear- ed to be received with approval, as he was applauded at the conclusion of his address. Mayor Hassett said he would wel- come and favor any movement that would tend to a settlement of the dis- pute. | A — Girl Strikers Cause Trouble. CHICAGO, March 23.—The number of bindery girls on strike here was in- creased to 700 to-day. The employers included in the typothetae are said to lockout against the union.
