Rehearing Denied.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-The supreme
court, in decision filed this morning,
denied the petition for rehearing in
the case Of Cushman against Root, which
petition was presented on behalf of
members of the San Francisco stock
exchange, who are legally interested in
the final result OF the case. The suit
was brought under the section of the
state constitution which declares that
all contracts for the sale of shares of
capital stock of any corporation or asso-
citation on margin, or to be delivered at
future day, shall be void. Counsel
argued that under the decision the way
it stands no one can safely invest IN in
unless he has all the money on hand
necessary to make the purchase, and
that this will work hardship in many

Many Believe He Will Never Again En-
gage In Public Life.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 2.-Secretary
Blaine, although not feeling so we'll to-
day as yesterday, perhaps from over ex-
ertion, was seen walking on Main street.
He took his accustomed ride from IL 80
till 80. He is by no means we'll
man, but there is no reason
why he. should not be
well and strong by. autumn. Many
false rumors arise from the fact that the
public did not know how sick he was in
New York. Since his sickness there he
has steadily improved. Any drawbacks
have oeen only day or two in dura-
ton. His physician says his pa
tient eats we'll, sleeps we'll, has
no organic disease, and is rapidly
regaining his usual health. He takes
no medicine whatever, except OCCASION
ally simple remedies to aid digestion.
He has no trace of paralytic affection
from which he suffered three years.
His sickness in New York was
the result of overwork, COM
bined with la grippe. Notwith-
standing the statements of his physi-
clan and the members of his family,
many people here believe him broken
down, and that he will never again en-
gage in active life, yet it is evident to
everyone that he has improved since his
arrival here.

LONDON, July 2.-In the commons,
today, Smith, government leader, said it
was the intention to close the session
about the end of the month.
Ferguson, secretary OF the foreign
Office, replying to Labouchere, said the
government had no information as to
the stipulations of the triple alliance,
but had no doubt Premier Rudini had
correctly described in the Italian
parliament the exchange OF views
between England and Italy. AS to
any measures that would be taken to
maintain, in case of need, the status
QUO in the Mediterranean, that would
be matter for consideration according
to the circumstances and the time.
Goschen, chancellor OF the exchequer,
says the government is willing to ad-
vance $250,0 to British Columbia, in
order to promote the emigration of de-
sirable families from the highlands of

BERLIN, July "A terrible storm OF
thunder, hail and rain passed over a
large part of Germany last night, caus-
ing immense damage to property and
loss OF life. In the village OF Suchtelon,
near Dusseldorf, and Radela and Sittard,
in the Crefeld district, thirteen bodies
have been taken from the ruins of
houses. 1t is too soon now to estimate
the total number of lives lost. At
Brunswick the storm assumed
the proportions OF a cyclone, and
this morning the streets were filled
with wreckage. Houses were demol-
ished and others badly damaged, while
many thoroughfares were turned into
rivers. In the neighborhood OF Sprot-
teau, in Prussian Silesia, hail cut down
grain and did other damage. At Sarct-
ruprecht, Austria, a water spout burst
over the town with fearful force, sweep
ing away the cabins of two peasants and
drowning nine people. Every hour is
adding to the story of disaster, and but
few places in the path of the storm
seem to have escaped.
The tornado caused terrible destruc-
trict. At Rifelmens the town hall was
lifted from its foundation and carried
away. The circus and pavilions were
damaged. Several attaches sustained
injuries. The effect of the storm was
still worse in the neighborhood of Suech-
tein; ON the road to Viersen and Sittard.
Houses were overthrown, trees uprooted
and many cattle killed. The total dam
age is estimated at $3.50, 1000. At the
village of Aurath scarcely house was
spared, forty being totally destroyed and
$175,000. A fund has been started for
the reliet of the homeless. Volunteers
are searching the debris for possible vic
Tins.

Associated Press Dispatches.
SAN RAFAEL, CAL, July 2.-This after
noon news was brought that the forest
fire on Mount Tamalpais was at an end,
but about A O'Clock messages were re-
ceived here stating that fire had again
started in Williams gulch, and was rap
idly burning it's way in the direction OF
the water works near the summit of
Mount Tamalpais. Soon telephone
messages were received at the Office of
the company here asking that more men
be sent, as their works were in danger.
After some difficulty small force of
men was secured and sent to the scene.
Great alarm is felt here owing to the
fact that the water mains through which
San Rafael and the San Quentin state
prison receive their water supply, run
through the district which is now burn
ing. Part of the mains are on wooden
trestles, and there is also an immense
wooden hopper in the district, from
which the water runs into the mains.
Should the fire reach these there would
be water famine here.
IhlS evening correspondent went TO
the scene of the fire and found that it
was burning fiercely in the neighbor-
hood OF the water company's dam, and
had crossed the ridge and was spreading
in the direction of Bolinas. 1t is thought
that the fire will not be extinguished
until it exhausts its vitality on the
beach near Bolinas.
Early this evening the smoke was so
thick that the sun had the appearance
of being in eclipse.
M1LToN, CAL, July 2.-During the past
ten days over ten thousand acres of
grain, feed and timber land have been
burned, within ten miles of this place.
A large fire has been raging east of here
since Tuesday, burning erything from
Elkhorn station south towards Copper
opolis. So far it has been impossible to
check the flames. No opinion can be
formed yet as to the damage likely to be
caused by this conhagration. In. the

lis lost between three and four hundred
cords of wood. In the Tuesday fire some
four hundred acres of grain were de-
stroyed. The heat for a few days past
has exceeded that of any former years,
the mercury registering 1O4, and today
it reached 112.

The Methodist girls school was attacked
and pillaged of its contents and burned,
May 25th, by the Chinese rabble. Sew
eral other mission buildings were at
tackled by the rioters, and would have
been demolished but for the interfer-
ence of body Of Chinese soldiers, sent
by the viceroy only after urgent appeals
had been made to him by the mission
aries. On the Sunday previous the
missionaries were semi-officially notified
that their premises would be burned,
and accordingly twenty-three mission
aries and all the women and children
OF the American and English missions
took passage on steamer for Shanghai
the day before the riots. Trouble is an
ticipated at Kiukiang, and the residents
are sending their valuables to Shanghai.
Over twenty rioters have been cap
tured at Wuhu. The viceroy has given
the local magistrates permission to put
the leaders to death on the spot. Notice
was given by the authorities that they
would cut off eleven heads May 25th.

Admiral Belknap at Yokohama has
received the following telegram from
Shanghai, dated June Sth: ''Last Fri

English and French gunboats and the
Palos stopped it. The foreign women

June 9th Consul Leonard. at Shang-
hal telepraphed Admiral Belknap as
follows: "a band of Chinese, who have
attacked Yang Chow, destroyed the
French mission at Woosick last night,
and ale reported to be seventy miles
from here. Their route leads directly to
Shanghai, and there is every indication
that they willsdestroy the French mis-
sion, eighteen miles from Shanghai, and
then attack the French mission at Sica-
wal, four miles from Shanghai. Russian
and French gunboats have gone up the
river to Marking. Nine gunboats are
there now. think it is Chinese in

ROME, July 2.-Dispatches from Ma

cident which occurred, yesterday, on
Mount Versuvius. In spite OF warning
that it was unsafe to do so, two Brazil
ion tourists, accompanied by guide,
made the ascent, and while gazing into
the crater, the party was suddenly en-
veloped by dense cloud of sulphurous
smoke, which so stupefied the travellers
that one OF them staggered forward and
fell head foremost into the crater. The
guide, in the meantime, caught hold of
the second traveller, and half dragged,
half pushed him into position where
the crater fumes could not affect him.

Balmaceda's Successor Elected-The In

Blow-British Complications.

CHICAGO, July "a special from
Coquimbo, Chile, dated June 2Sth, was
published here this morning. 1t is as
follows: At last new president of the
government party has been elected.
The provinces in South Chile, all under
Balmaceda's control. voted Saturday.
Balmaceda's candidate, Vicuna, was
chosen as his successor. The official
vote will not be made public until July
26th. Between now and then Balmaceda
will remain in Office, and will hesitate at
nothing to stamp out the revolution.
He is in the fight to the bitter end.
There will be no compromise. Either
he must fall or the insurgents have
to make an unconditional surrender.
The town is alive today with warlike
scenes. Everything points to a fight at
an early date. News reaches here that
all the insurgent fleet, with the excep-
ton Of the Esmeralda, is in rendezvous
at Caldera, 200 miles to the north, the
port where the Blanco Encalada was
sunk. The purpose is, without doubt,
to attack Coquimbo at once. 1t looks as
if the insurgents and Balmaceda will be
in conflict by July 1st or I'd.
A COMPLICATION WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Valparaiso,
Chile, papers received by the last mail
tell of serious complication in which
two clerks of the British consulate be-
came involved. According to the state
ments put out from British sources, the
governor of the province called at the
consulate and requested that two clerks
accompany him to the chief magistrate
and give their testimony in some matter
that had nothing to do with the con-
sulate. Consent being given, the clerks
were at once driven to Jail. where they
were accused of completely in the escape
OF the insurgent torpedo boat Guale, and
OF conveying funds to that vessel in an
envelope bearing the consular seal. One
of the clerks was subsequently released,
but his companion at last advices was
still in confinement, notwithstanding
the protest of the British consul and the
British minister.
