take place January 1st. In a conversation
to-day, Colonel Crocker said that it would
be impossible at the present time to give

by them in Oakland. Much of their action
would depend upon the appropriation Sc
cured from the United States Government
for deepening the main channel. Sound

were two other men about the place, and
all were drinking. Flores and his enemy
went out of the room into an alley to fight,

men went out and found Flores in dying

Banks is Really Gone.
SAN FRANcIsoo, November 26th.-Rela-
tive to Charles w. Banks the absconding
cashier of the Welsh Fargo Express Com
pany, and his rumored capture, detective
Thacker to-day denied emphatically and
positively the truth of such rumor. We
haven't him, and have no trace of him,
he said The detectives have had no reason
to change their first opinion that Banks
sailed on the 1st inst. for Tahiti on the
barkentine City of Papeete. 1t is under
stood that the actual defalcation amounts
to very much more than the amount at
first stated, 5000, and it is believed also
that Banks took with him large amount
in coin.
