THAT BIG STORM.

What the Signal Service Has to Say
About 1t.
The October report Of the Signal Service
headquarters at San Francisco contains the
following interesting resume
The most marked meteorological feature
of the month was the excessive rainfall oc-
curing throughout California, which, over
the greater part of the State, was more than
double the heaviest October rainfall pre-
viously recorded. This large rainfall re-
suited in many localities in serious damage
to crops, particularly in the case of raisins
and table grapes. Rain fell in Northern
California on the 7th, 8th, 17ih, 18th. 10Th.
Goth, 21st, 22d, 23d, 25th, 26,h, 9th and
29th; in Southern California on the Sth,
18th, 18th, Goth, 21st, 22i, 23d, and in
Oregon and Washington Territory on the
1st, 9th. 7th. Sth, 9th. 10th, 14th, 2lst, 22d,
23d, oath, 26.h, 9th, Goth and 30th.
Temperature-The month was an un-
usually warm one in all of the Pacific
Coast Districts, the least departures from
normal temperatures occurring in Northern
California. Mean temperatures at selected
stations were: Portland, OREGON, 57o; Sac
ramento, Cal, $40; San Francisco. 62o;
Fresno, 63o; Los Angeles, 66o;; San Diego,
65o.
Rainfall-The rainfall was in excess OF
the normal amount south of line drawn
diagonally across Oregon from Portland 10
the southeast, and was less than the average
October rainfall north of that line.
The following table shows in detail the
amount and distribution of the rainfall for
the month and season:

He Apologies to Mexico for Miners
Unfortunate Speech.
WASHINGTON, November 3d.-M Rome
Mexican Minister, arrived in this city ves-
terday, having LETT the Pan-Amercan ex-
cursionists. He said this evening his
return was not due TO the Miner Acct
dent" That affair was settled before lie
left Washington some days ago. A dis
patch from the CITY of Mexico received
some time ago stated there was great in
dignatiOn there on account of the speech
made by Mr.. Miner in Costa Rica on pre-
senting his credentials as Minister of the
United States to the Central American
States. 1t was stated that Miner had re-
fected upon Mexico in connection with
the boundary dispute between that country
and Guatemala.
Romero said the remarks of Miner had
been officially disavowed, and nothing fur
ther would be done in the matter by Mex
leo.
There has BEEN" he added, ''no inten-
ton to ask for Miners recall. That was
not what was desired. Minister Miner
having made the statement he did, the
Mexican Government wanted to know
whether the insult was made by the United
States, and it now has been assured that
the utterances were unauthorized, and that
settles it
The Official Diario, containing copy of
Secretary Blaine's letter of disavowal. has
been received here. The following is
translation of the letter:
81 have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your note of the Sth inst, in
which, by instructions of the Secretary of
Foreign Relations of Mexico, accompanied
by the full text of Senior Mariscal's letter to
you dated September 2Sth, you complain in
the name of your Government of certain
illusions made by the Minister of the
United States in Central America in pre-
senting his credentials as Envoy Entraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Costa
Rics on the Goth of last August.
"Theimpropriety and imprudent charac-
ter of the remarks referred to was noticed
by this Department when the speech was
received, and instructions were sent to Mr..
Miner on the subject on September 10Th,
expressing regret at his words, and a fear
that they would receive erroneous interpre-
tation to which, unfortunately, they were
liable and which. as noticed by your letter,
has been given them by the Mexican Gov
eminent.
knowing the history of the relations of
the mutual intimacy and confidence which
it has been the constant purpose of this
Government to maintain with Mexico, as
we'll as with other nations, it hardly ap-
pears necessary for me to assure you, and
through you the Government which you
represent, that the remarks of Mr.. Miner,
which implied oficiousness and partial
disposition on the part of this Government,
were wholly unauthorized, and that they
occasion sincere regret to this Government,
and are entirely disapproyed by it"

MARYsvILLE TO KNIGHTS LANDING.
The New Branch Road Connecred with
the California Pacific.

The New Branch Road Connecred with
the California Pacific.
The new branch road of the California
Pacific Railroad, which has been in course
of construction from Marysville to Knights
Landing, was connected at the latter place
Saturday evening with the main road.
The finishing touches of the new branch
are now being pushed through as speedily
as possible, aud it is expected that the road
will be open for business about the middle
of next month.
In the construction of the road the
Southern Pacific Company placed across
the Sacramento river at knights Landing
one Of the best built bridges in the State.
In addition there has been built 10000 feet
of trestle work, which required the services
of five pile-drivers and hundreds of labor
ers.
It is said that the Southern Pacific Com
pany is considering whether or not the ex-
press trains 10 and from Portland, that now
pass through Sacramento, should turn at
| Davisville and go around by that way, con-
Meeting with the California and Oregon
road at Marysyille, as the branch road
shortens the distance to and from Portland
by about thirty-one miles.
From Marysville to Nelson's. opposite
Nicolaus, the road was originally built by
n. D. Rideou', the banker. The Southern
Pacific Company bought this addition end
besides the right of way, and constructed
the road to where connection has now been
made After leaving Marvsville, the new
. branch road crosses the Feather river ct
Yuba City, then runs direct along the
levee of that river TO Nelson's Point; thence
down to Snowbalrs Bend and up the river
10 Knights Landing, touching the old Cal
ifornia Pacific road.

MINISTER MINER.
His First Speech May be the Cause o
His Being Recalled.

His First Speech May be the Cause of
His Being Recalled.
WASHINGTON, November 3d.-The Post
this morning published the following: Mr..
Romero, the Mexican Minister. arrived in
Washington yesterday on a flying trip
from the Pan-American excursion. 1t is
doubtful if he will rejoin them; certainly
not if the object of his journey to the Capt.
tai bears no fruit. 1t is a delicate and
urgent matter of international courtesy
and comfy that has arisen, and Mexico
seems to have good grounds for her griev-
ance and complaint.
Within few days the press dispatches
has been giving currency to the rumor that
Mexico has made an indignant protest
against the presentation speech at Costa
Rica of Minister Miner, accredited to the
Central American States from America.
The substance of that speech is now for the
first time made public in an American
newspaper. Minister Romero has copy
of the Mexican paper containing the speech
in Spanish.
The Central American States consist of
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Salvador, Hondu-
ras and Guatemala, of which Costa Rica is
the most southern and Guatemala the most
northern. Minister Miner, of California,
the appointee of the State Department,
seems to have undertaken to spread the
egis of Columbia over the Central Ameri-
can States. In other words, the jaw of
Tanner has fallen to the lot of Miner In
presenting his credentials in turn - the
President of Costa Rica he made tie fol-
lowing remarkable speech
The States of Central America must
unite. A strong federal government is
your only salvation. Colombia is massing
her troops on the southern border of Costa
Rica. Mexico has covetous eye on Qua
temala. Ii will he only short time before
Colombia will seek to seize your State and
Mexico will seize Guatemala, and Central
America will be blotted out from the map
of independence and her identity sunk in
that of Colombia and Mexico. The time is
drawing near. and only the most energetic
action in the federation of Central Amer
lea can save your freedom"
In view of the we'll known friction be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala. it is little to
be wondered at that the Mexican press is
filled with indignant editorials concerning
Minister Miners injudicious utterances
1t is safe prediction that Mexico will fail
TO be appeased with anything short of his
recall.
1t seems probable that Costa Rica has nc
Neal Dow, and that the entente cordiale be-
tween Mexico and Costa Rica at least is SO
far established that mescal, pulque, aguar-
diente, and other favorite drinks of the
past American diplomats in Mexico are
given free admission

Sports Who Offer to Give 81 900 for n
Seat to See the Fight.
New YORK, November 3d-The Worlds
special from London of November % says:
The most intense interest is displayed in
sporting circles here in the boxing match
which has been arranged to take place be-
tween Peter Jackson and Jem Smith. The
date has not been definitely fixed, but it
will probably occur on the 18th or 18th of
this month ia the large boxing-room of the
Pelican Club. Both men have been train
ing well since the arrangements for the
match had been ratified.
The committee of the club has elected
ninety-two new members, who have joined
with the sole object of being able to witness
the encounter. Lois of them will be disap-
pointed, for the club mas already 500
members, aud as the hall which has been
selected for the match only holds 1,100, the
seats will be balloted for after the wealthy
supporters Of boxing contests held in the
club have secured their seats. Two cODu
mental sporting men offered 81 GOO spiece if
allowed to be present This tempting sum,
however, failed TO secure admission.
There is very little betting on the part of
the public. but the most prominent mem
| bers of the club are backing Smith heavily,
and it is easy TO get two to one against
| Jackson from any Oh them. Joe Ihomp-
son, who won 100000 by the Sea'le-
O'Connor sculling race, stands to win an
even greater sum on Jackson.
The articles which were drawn up by
Sir John Ashley, are supposed TO fsvor
Smith. One clause is to the effect that no
| fancy points are allowed, so that the +. en-
have to hit their hardest all the time. The
fact of the articles favoring the English
man makes bis supporters at the club
somewhat jubilant, inasmuch as if il were
| purely boxing match the lorg reach Of
| Jackson would stand him in good stead.
But as it will be really a twelve-rcund
| fight, Smith is credited with possessing
the best chance
A member Of the club has laid an even
| $500 that the match will be ended before
the twelfth round. He expects to see one
of them insensibe by the ninth round
Smith is sure to try to get close TO Jackson,
so as to prevent the latter making use of
| his long reach. If he does so, the AUS
tralian will probably fare badly. Smith
has a wonderful right which, when
chance occurs, he brings with great force
on the ribs Just over the heart So IS to
wind his adversary.

disallusion waned. The great wall OF
China is a great wonder, after all, as a
monument of human patience. Nature at
this point is at her sternest. The i'm
mensfty of the chain Of bare iron uncom-
promising crags, tier behind tier, grows
by degrees upon the mind, chilling the
heart with humble conviction of insig-
nifcanee This barrier, fashioned by
human hands with indefatigable patience,
winds steadily, regardless of obstacles,
along thousands and thousands OF miles Of
silence, with square watch towers at dis
tances; along tops, across bluffs, up perpen-
dicular cliffs, down chasms. Nothing
checked the indomitable perseverance Of
these builders; no peril stayed, no danger
caunted them. Yes, it is a wonderful
work, and one surveyed its serpentine line

GERoNOMo,s BAND.
1t Will Go to North Carolina to Join the
Old Cherokee Tribe.

WASHINGTON, November 3d.-Congress-
man Ewart of North Carolina is in the city
and Yesterday informed Secretary Proctor
that Governor Fowler of that State did not
represent the sentiment of the people when
he protested against the removal of Gero-
nomo's band to that State. Ewert says the
people of the southwestern section of the
State would welcome the Apsches and
would donate thousands of acres of their
wild mountain timber lands to their use.
The weak remnant of the old Cherokee
tribe which still roams Cowee mountsins
would be glad to have the Apaches join
them and help strengthen their band by
intermarrying. Ewart's statement will
probably cause the Government to change
its mind and send the Apaches to the old
North State
