Near, and one of the firm whose warehouse
at Port Costa was destroyed yesterday, re-
turned from the scene of the fire this morn
ing.
Some of the wheat which was in the
warehouse" said Mr.. Bowles, will not
prove total loss. Part of the structure
was built on piles, while part was on filled
ground. About 5000 tons of grain which
was in that part of the warehouse built on
the land was not burned, but was of course
injured by the smoke and water, and is
not marketable wheat. 1t will probably
sell for about half-price. and will be used
as feed for hogs, etc. The Kenilworth is
now being towed to this city, and when
she arrives II will be possible to find out
whether any of her cargo has been saved.
We are going right ahead to put up q new
warehouse upon plans which are based on
ideas gained bv our twelve years expert
ence. Mr.. McNear has already ordered
from Puget Sound the lumber necessary
Tor the new structure, and about half of it
will be shipped in a few days, We have
forty carpenters and one hundred laborers
already on the ground and are clearing
away the debris. The building, even to
the pile foundations, will be entirely new"
why do you not build an elevator simi-
lar to those they have in the East ?" was
asked
Il was discussing that coming down in
the cars this morning replied Mr.. Bowles.
The principal reason is that on account of
our climate we do not need them on this
coast. The farmers here can sack their
grain and stack it up in the fields, leaving
it there for three or four months without
any danger. In the East the growers are
obliged TO get their wheat under cover i'm
mediately, and it is cheaper and quicker to
handle 1t in bulk. Another reason is that
the voyage across the Atlantic is very
short, and there are vessels especially built,
with compartments for carrying grain, so
the wheat can be shipped in bulk From
here the voyage is great deal longer, and
If the grain were shipped in bulk in the
vessels without compartments the cargo
would be very apt TO shift and founder the
vessel ~

ARIZONA ITEMS.
Negro Soldier Murdered-Captain Jack
and His Combination,

and His Combination.
GLOBE (Ariz.), August 27th.-Items from
San Carlos, Ariz say that William Flem-
ing, colored soldier, was found this morn
ing, brutally murdered, on the bank of the
Gila river, one half mile from the gar
rison. His head was mashed beyond rec
ognition. The weapon used was an iron
handle for swinging tire. The iron was
sewed up in cloth.
The deed was evidently premeditated, as
near the BODY was found sacks and rope,
which indicate that the body was to have
been put into the sacks and thrown into the
river, but apparently the murderers, hear
ing some noise, got scared and ran away.
a ball being in progress in the post last
night great many soldiers were on pass
and remained up the greater part of the
night.
Fleming was last seen at about II o'clock.
William Vernon and Henry Rohb have
been arrested on suspicion and are con-
fined in the military guard house. No
cause can be given for the crime. Flem-
iDg's record has been that of quiet and
inoffensive man. The military authorities
are investigating the matter and more of
interest is expected.
Lizzie Spears, colored, was arrested ves-
terday and charged with selling whisky to

SAN BERNARDINo, August 27th.-At 10:40
tonight a fire broke out in the business
center of the city, in that part of the Burt
block occupied by A. o. Davis as clothing

Eleven minutes after the alarm was given

says to protect the town with one engine,
reached the scene of conflagration, and af-
ter playing on the fire six minutes the
cistern from which the water supply was
obtained was exhausted and the engine
rendered useless and temporarily aban-

At 11:25 P. NJ the hand engine was
brought into use, but it has no power to

SEANIAN'S DUTIES.
Decision Rendered by the United States
Circuit Court for Orcrnn

Decision Rendered by the United States
Circuit Court for Oregon.
WASHINGTON, August 27th.-The Bureau
OF Navigation OF the Treasury Department
has sent TO the United States Shipping
Commissioners with instructions to post in
their offices, copies of the decisions rem
dered by the United States Circuit Court
Tor the District of Oregon in the case of the
ship L. f. Oakes. Measures have also
been taken to bring the decision to the at
tentlon OF the United States Consular Off
GERS. In this case the members of the
crew lbeled the vessel to recover wages.
The Court reviewed the testimony, to the
effect that the men had been guilty of pre-
medltated and persistent shirking and
sighting OF their DUTY, and that they had
refused TO discharge the cargo and had been
discharged at a foreign port by the United
States Consul, with the payment of wages
10 the date of their discharge and an extra
months pay. The Court denied their ap-
phcatlon for the entire voyage and in con-
cludIDg the opinion says: II have taken
more pains and time with this case than
the intrinsic difficulty of it demands. NV
reason for so doing is | am strongly i'm
pressed with the idea that the whole
trouble grows out of methods and pur-
poses of the Seamen's Union of San Fran
cisco. 1t appears to be organized for the
purpose OF controlling the conduct and
employment o! seamen on this coast to the
end that ships shall be navigated in the
interest and at the pleasure of the fore
castle without any reference to the rights
and interests of the owners Acting on
this anarchical idea these libelants under
took to run the master, and prescribed the
medicine for his refusal to submit to their
dictation by lettering and trifing over their
work in discharging the cargo at the ex-
pense of the ship

CHICO, August 27th.-There are more
people in Chico to-day than on any OPEN
ing day of previous fairs. This is the tenth
annual fair of the Third District Agricult-
ursl Association, comprising the counties
of Butte, Colusa and Tehama.
Probably no district of even area in the
State can boast of more of natures bless
ings, in the possibility ard diversity of pro-
ducts, than can this particular section.
Fruits OF all kinds reach the greatest per-
fection here, and are produced in wonder
full abundance. The land has special
adaptability for raising all kinds OF grains

The display of the latter this year will
eclipse all other efforts in that direction-if
we are to judge by the activity of those at
work in the Pavilion, which at the present
writing is all busiling confusion.
Tomorrow it is expected all this will be
changed. The display OF fine stock at the
track is one of the principal features.
Among those exhibiting are Senator Stan
ford. Judge Bridgeford, D. NJ. Reavis, VIM
McEnesby and others.
The race entries are all filled, and from
the number of fine animals brought from
abroad, good racing is anticipated. There

Treasury Department was this morning
called to q dispatch from New York stating
that syndicate with $4,000, 600 capital
had been formed to force up the price of
bonds, which the Government is now buy
ing. He said: IF such syndicate has
been attempted we at least know that it
