From San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, July 13.-The first stage on
the new route between Chica, California, and
Idaho came through in three days. 1t is be-
leved that the Idaho trade, heretofore con-
Quoted via the Columbia river, can, by this
route, be brought to California direct.
The uncertainty about the tariff unsettles the
market for imported goods. There is fair de-
mand for wheat at full prices. Extra -four
is quoted at 1925.

George Thomson, seaman, of New Haven,
drowned at sea.

as nine o'clock artillery fire was heard in the
direction Of the 9th corps and the Putz brigade.
The enemy had by this time abandoned further
resistance, and clouds OF dust towards Goito
and ValegRio point out his line of retreat upon
the Mincio. IL would be impossib to deny to
the enemy the testimony of having fought with
obstinacy and bravery; hls frst attacks in espe-
cisl were lmpetuous, and his officers set their
men good examples.
The enemy brought into line of battle, under
the eyes OF the King aud the order OF Princes
Humbert and Amadeus-the latter of whom was
wounded-the complete army corps OF Durando
and pella Rocco; also, as reported by prisoners,
a strong force of the Cuchiari army corps and
several cavalry TeglmPnts-in all, nearly eleven
divisions OF infantry, being force OF about one
hundred thousand men, and almost all his
reserve artillery; but il was impossible tor him
to resist the tried and persevering bravery and
the devotion of the Imperial troops.
Our losses in killed and wounded are not
small owing 10 the impetuous dash of our
receive detailed reports. According to an ap-
prisoners, many of whom are officers. We have
also captured some guns; but the number is not
yet certain.
1t is my opinion that the splendid victory oi
Custcza will have all the mole effect, as symp
toms of Decentralization were visible in the
Italian army towards evening, after the capture
OF Custozza, many OF the prisoners not having
tasted food for forty-eight hours.
In retreating beyond the Mncio the enemy
burnt the fine bridge of Valeggio, where he
left five hundred wounded. He evacuated Villa
tranca the same night, and also abandoned
great number OF wounded there.

DR.. CUNNING AND HIS PROPHECIEs.-Dr. Cum
ming lectured recently at Halifax, England, on
the 'Signs OF the Times.n The lecturer did not
claim to be prophet, but expressed his belief
that these were solemn and startling times, and
that the world was on the point OF great events.
The great lines OF prophecy, ne said, seem TO
intersect the year 1867. The world, he believed,
would not be destroyed, but would endure Tor
ever in more purified and exalted state.
Though he was unable to explain the increase
of Catholicism in England, he believed the
tantism. In 1892 there were five thousand
priests in Paris; but though the population of
the city had doubled itself since that time, there
were now nine hundred priests only in Paris.
He believed the Saturday evening of the world
was very near, and that on the Sabbath of one
thousand wears which was at hand, there would
be a sunrise which would experience no western
declension.
