Final Preparations Complete-Eiaborate
observation-disclosures Parade.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S.-Final prepara-
tions have been made for the celebration
OF the fortieth anniversary of the admis-
sion of the state of California tomorrow.
ALI day long the crowds on the streets have
been increasing. and every indication is
given that the celebration will be one of
the most successful ever seen in this part
of the country. Flags and bunting of every
description float all over the city, and in
the business portion the decorations are
the most elaborate ever attempted here.
Along the route of tomorrow's procession
are scores of large paintings illustrating
the scenes and incidents connected with
the early history of California. Thousands
of American flags are floating in all parts
of the city. One of the most conspicuous
decorations is the old bear flag of the Cali
fornia republic.
1t is difficult to estimate the number of
visitors in the city tonight, but it is gen.
orally believed that there are not far from
hundred thousand.
Tonight a concert and tableaux illus
trating scenes in the history of California,
and the general progress of the state were
gwen at the paVllon, under the auspices
of the Native Daughters.
The parade tomorrow morning will be
the principal feature OF the celebration,
and will consist of twenty-one divisions.
The military portion will comprise twelve
companies of regular troops. and the en-
tire second brigade of the California Ma
tional Guard. besides dozen or more
local independent companies. The local
and visiting Native Sons, comprising $50
parlors, will form nine entire divisions.

are of such anature as to pretty thoroughly
dispel the illusions of those OF his friends
or acquaintance who thought his absence
merely due to an ordinary business trip.
1t transpires that he owes the insurance
companies for which he was agent about
s., 600 for com missions collected and not re-
mi,ted, and in addition owes here Sl75 rent,
sundry saloon bills and various sums of
borrowed money. After banking hours,
last Wednesday, the day before he de-
camped, he gave number of bogus checks,
one for $50 for rent and others for smaller
sums TO friends, who casned them in re-
sponse TO his plea that he wished to go
away in the morning on a brief business
trip and would have to leave before the
bsnk would open.
1t seems that this is not the first occa-
sion on which Fox has displayed his foxi-
ness. He was formerly real estate man
at Wichita, Kan, going from there after
the collapse of the boom TO Los Angeles.
In both places he bore rather unsavory
regulations. At the latter place he de-
serted his wife and two children, and funds
were raised by subscription there to send

This has been an unusually bad season for
;cc in the North Atlantic. The narrow escape
of the bio Allen liner Partisan, which was in
collision with an immense iceberg onIy last
week. and the subsequent adventure OF the
steamer Beacon Light, reported in yesterday $
napcrs show that the danger which has men
acod ocean travellers since early last Deem
her continues undated. In ordinary years the
ice rarely comes low enough to interfere scrl-
ously with navigation until March or April,
and il usually diminiShcS early in June But
according 10 the recent report OF the Govern
mcnt photographic Bureau, the supply from
the Arctic regions has this year been greatly
augmented by shorc-cc from Labrador and
Newfoundland. and the Labrador current is
likely 10 bring down enormous quantities from
Greenland throughout the summer. The accI-
don't, 70 ships have already been numerous
enough to call for extraordinary care in navi-
cation. Vessels bound for the II. Lawrence

collision with an iceberg the only possible hope
lies in the timely discovery of the danger and
the le-scning of the shock of impact by an in
Stant reversal of the engines.
