SACRAMENTO, December 1S.-The sub
ject of danger to the navigation Of the
Sacramento river, because of the break
in the Yolo levee, below this city, has
attracted much attention and comment.
Today Governor Waterman called a
number of citizens to his office for con-
sultation upon the best mode of pro.
cedure under the circumstances. It was
admitted that something must be done
immediately. It was decided that the
Governor, on behalf of the people of this
State, and particularly of this valley,
should ask the California Senators and
Representatives to urge upon the War
Department the necessity of immediate
and radical measures Of relief. The fol-
lowing dispatch was sent, directed to
Senator Stanford:
"The Sacramento river is in danger of
changing its channel. There is break
two miles below the bridge, which is
1000 feet wide. An immense bar is
forming below the break across the river.
As hydraulic mining has ceased the ap-
preparation of $250,000 in the hands of
the War Department is available and
ought to be used now to save the naviga-
tion of the river.
(Signed) "R. w. WATERMAN,
Governor.
This will be followed by lengthy let
ters fully explaining the entire situation,
which will be sent over the name of the
Governor to the Senators and Repre-
sentatives.

An Unaccoumtable Fire.

At IL 40 O'Clock this morning q two.
story frame house belonging to Judge
Paige and situated on Newton avenue
between DAILY and Bamanco streets in
East Los Angeles, was discovered to be
on fire. An alarm was rung in
from box 8, to which the East Side en-
giDe promptly responded, and after about
half an hours hard work the fire wac
got under control. The house was fur
nished but unoccupied, the lessee and
his family being temporarily absent.
The damage to the house and contents
was estimated at $500, which is believed
to be fully insured. The cause Of the
blaze is unknown, but there is a strong
suspicion OF incendiarism, and Chief
Strohm is determined to Gift the matter
to the bottom.

judged guilty of fraud, and to recover
$500, 900 with interest from July %, 1886
1t is alleged that Cook and defsndants,
who were members of the Board of Di.
rectors of the company, fraudulently

bay, today. A survey of the ship will
be made before repairs are undertaken.
G. w. McNear, who holds the charter,
thinks the loss to the cargo Of wheat
amounts to about $4,000. The vessel
itself presented but few traces OF having
been on fire. The hull and cargo are
insured in English companies. The
cargo was insured for 100000, but
only portion OF it had been loaded.
The damaged wheat will be discharged at
Mission rock, and it is thought the ves-
sci will be loaded again and ready to sail
in two weeks time.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 18.-Prepa-
rations are already being made for the
entertainment of the Pan.American del
egates who, it is now understood, will
visit the Coast before long. President
Collyer, of the Pacific Coast Board of
Trade, has sent request to the Gov
ernors Of Washington and Oregon to
communicate with the Governors of Cal
ifornia and Nevada, in order to procure a
concert of action. Collyer has desig-
mated Col. F. G. Crocker to act as Chair
man Of the Committee on Reception, and
has authorized him to organize the COM
mittee and begin work. The State Board
of trade has discussed the question. and
the members favor q grand banquet in
this city, which all the commercial bodies
of the State might attend.
