A San Diego Man Says That the Des

A San Diego Man Says That the Des-
ert is Under Water.
The desert sea is not con fined to the
regionI about Salton, judging from the
following, taken from the San Diegan Of
Monday:
"W. T. Lemon, who W ith his wife and
party of friends, has just returned from
camping trip which extended to the
mountains skirting the edge of the des-
ert, brings story about change in
conditions out there Which is interest
ing, and which. furthermore, will afford
the weather cranks a new topic of dis
cuSsiOn.
"Lemon says the desert-that is big
portion of the desert lying Immediately
east Of Jacumba-is this year not a des-
ert, but a big lake. Furthermore, he
says the people who live out there told
him repeatedly that the lake was con-
stantly growing larger, and was steadily
backing up to the slopes of the noun
tains on this side.
"He also says they told him the usual
summer heat was not felt there until a
few days ago-June 5 being the first real

that weather was cool and frequent rains
fell, and the streams are now bank full
of water which in ordinary years have
been dry in April. Near Jacumba a
spot in the road was found so soft that
the horses mired down and were lifted
out with much difficulty.
$50 far as the appearance OF the lake
in the desert is concerned, it is not be-
lieved that it is caused by the flow of
water from this side, as the watershed
on this side is precipitous and small. 1t
is rather believed that the lake is caused
by back water from the Colorado river,
which last winter for the first time in
eight years broke over the banks near
Yuma, and which, according to frequent
reports, has continued to inundate a
great area of the new river region this
side of Yuma. This distance from the
Colorado river to the mountain slopes on
this side OF the desert is nearly 100 miles,
and if the lake can now be seen from
this side it means that a big area OF
what has heretofore been scorching
desert is now moisture yielding lake" "

IN SOCIETY.

On Thursday, June 25th, the yacht
San Diego, A. M. Hayward, master,
sailed from Santa Catalina island for
San Clemente island, with jolly party
on board, for the purpose of fishing and
gathering Indian relics at that island.
The party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
P. Francis, Miss Jennis Francis, Mr. and
Mrs. F. w. Kelsey and son, Miss Eva
BARGE, Miss Louise Francis, Robt. Mans
field, John Winder, Robert Flournoy,
Delbert Hammel, and Harry Policy,
A fresh .breeze enabled the party to
make good time, and as the fishing was
excellent, the party did not lack amuse
ment. Coming to anchor at Mos
quito harbor the party passed the
night on board, and early Friday
morning landedat the house of Mr. Gala
CHER. the only inhabitant of the island,
and took long tramp over the hills to
the isthmus hunting for Indian curios,
of which large variety was brought on
board at night. Among the relics OBJ
tanned were some fine specimens of black
whalebone, Indian skulls and other
bones in fine state of preservation,
stone hammers, spears, mortars and
other implements, together with various
kinds of coral, flint and petrified wood.
The homeward voyage was pleasantly
spent with music, dancing, games and
pleasant chat, and Avalon harbor was
reached on the evening of Saturday, the
2Sth. Upon dropping anchor salute
was fired from about dozen rifles and
revolvers, and three hearty cheers were
given for Captain Hayward and the San
Diego. Every one was sorry that the
cruise was ended and all wished that it
might be repeated in the near future.

Information About the Salton Sea Gath
cred by Reporters.
The accounts given by the HERALD of
the remarkable phenomenon of the sud-
den appearance of lake at Salton were
yesterday the talk of the town, and
many new theories were advanced.
Mr.. Ducommun, who crossed the
plains in 1S49, and camped on the region
OF the dry lake, told HERALD reporter
that that country was soon after that
time inundated in a similar manner to
the present flood. He is confident that
the water does not come from the Gulf
of California, but from the Colorado
river, as he says it has done not infre
quently in the past.
The interest in the matter is so great
that number of kilograms were sent
yesterday by friends in this city to Mr..
Durberow, the superintendent of the salt
works, and other officials at that point
by friends, and last evening several re-
plies were received. They all corrob-
crate the report of the HERALD's special
correspondent as above.
One which was received about 5 O'Clock
SAID that there was not an Indian left at
the place. They had absolutely refused
to remain, and had decamped to the
high grounds in panic.
The water had on Monday night and
yesterday morning decreased in depth,
but at about IL O'Clock the wind shifted
again, and the level rose higher than it
had been before.
The sailboat which sailed at O'Clock
had to return in few hours, as the men
could not stand the intense heat. The
mercury ranged about 130 degrees in
the shade on shore, but on the water
the heat was even greater, and in spite

about four miles the wind died out, and
we returned to the station. Water
taken about three miles out was brought
in and its gravity tested. 1t went about
Is per cent salt. The water in the pool
at the marsh was about 26 per cent :,
while that OF the ocean is about 2h, so
nothing can be told as to whether it is
salt or fresh water.
A PANIC AMONG THE INDIANS.
There has never been anything like
this amount of water here during the
time OF the white man, but the Indians
have tradition that many long years
ago the waters arose here in similar
manner and drowned large numbers of
their forefathers. This is a tradition
thoroughly believed in by the desert
aborigines and almost without excep-
ton they have taken to the high hills
surrounding the basin. The desert In
dian children attending school at Ban
ming were telegraphed for to come home
and are accompanying their parents to
the highlands.
A DANGEROUS VOYAGE.
At o'clock this afternoon Captain
Mulvihill and his crew started out on
cruise, taking provisions and water for
six days. He is under telegraphic in
structions to sail the water blue until he
finds the whence and wherefore of the
LIQUID visitation. 1t is a really danger
GUS expedition, for if the waters should
recede and the boat get stuck about six
miles from shore, the Lord only knows
how the captain and crew would get to
land. They would sink up to their
necks if they attempted to wade, and
nobody could get out to them.
H. w. PATTON.
P. SIT was delightfully."- warm here
today; the mercury registered 130 in the
shade.
THE LATEST.
At ten O'Clock last evening word was
received at the Southern Pacific offices
in this city that the water was higher at
Salton than it had been at any previous
time, there being two feet of water in
the works.
The sailboat had been sent out again
at five o'clock, and had not been heard
from since.
THE FLOW is sUBTERRANEAN.
Tucson, A. T., June 30.-Advices from
Yuma say that the water in the Colo
RADIO desert basin continues co rise. Two
cars at Salton, which is five miles from
the main track of the Southern Pacific,
were five feet in the water. Today a
boat was brought from San Pedro, with a
crew, and they are now exploring the
lake. 1t is claimed that Indian runners
encircled the lake today, and they are
certain that it is fed from some sub
terranean source, as no surface inlet was
discovered. The artesian wells in the
basin have ceased to flow

HOUSEKEEPERS ARE WARNED aga

HOUSEKEEPERS ARE WARNED against
the impositions of company of females, who,
under the lead of a male agent now infesting
the kitchens of this city, performing trick which
they pretend is test of baking powders.
1t having been intimated that these persons
are the paid agents of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, this is to advise all concerned that this
Company has no relation whatever to them, that
their so-caed test is sham, and that the females
are instructed and employed to perform these
tricks and make false statements in all kitchens
to which they can gain access, by concerns who
are trying to palm off upon housekeepers an
inferior brand of baking powder through the
operation of fallacious and deceptive methods.
The Royal Baking Powder Company in no
case employs such agents, and whenever the
name of this Company is used to gain entrance
to houses, the applicant, no matter how respec-
table in appearance should be regarded and

srlsON1BLE ANNO JUDGEMENTS.

II other evidences that hot weather is due
and the season of summer outings at hand were
lacking no reader of THE TRIBUNE could mis-
take the proofs afforded by our advertising
columns. From all points OF the compass comes
an imperious demand for space in which to set
forth the advantages and alurements OF the
country. On Sunday we printed nine columns
of these claims to attention and patronage, ana
this morning full page is devoted to them. IL
is evident that the proprietors OF summer re-
sorts are in a cheerful frame Of mind, and have
no doubt that fair offers are bound to be ac-
cepted. if only they are made with Judgment
and sagacity.
Feeling thus, they naturally turn to The
TRIBUNE as the medium through which they
can most certainly and proftably address the
greatest number of possible patrons That they
make no mistake in supposing that our readers
are their best reliance is evident from the fact
that every year sees an increased demand upon
our space for their announcements. Experience
has taught them the quickest and surest way
to the largest returns. Their perceptions are
clear, and so, we make bold to say, Is our con-
science. We are as we'll aware as they are that
they are doing wise thing.
Everybody cannot go to the country as early
and stay as late as he would like 10, but nearly
everybody who can leave the city at all can
take time to choose a resting place deliberately.
Ii is comfortable to have a programme ready
before it becomes absolutely essential And so
we advise our readers who have not already
committed themselves to a definite course OF
action to make up their minds what they want
and then look it up in our columns. 1t is GER
tain to be there, and the rest is plain sailing.

MANHATTAN RUFFIANS.

The community is accustomed to exhibitions
Of brutality by employees of the elevated roads,
but the assault on William Fitzpatrick last Sun
day morning was sufficiently aggravated to pro-
duce surprise as well as indignation. Either
because he did not move fast enough to please
the guard in trying TO get off at the Fifty third
st. station, or because the guard thought it
would be amusing to inconvenience and irritate
n passenger, the gate was shut in his face and
the train started. At the same moment the
passenger pulled the cord and the train stopped
again within a few feet. Up to this point
Fitzpatrick had suffered an injury and perhaps
committed an indiscretion, but for what fol-
lowed the trainhands are wholly responsible.
The guard Immediately struck him in the face,
and then, the conductor having been called in
10 assist they kept up the assault all the way
to the Fifty ninth-st. station followed him out
on the platform, knocked him down, beat him,
jumped on him and reduced him almost to help
leSsness. They then preferred charge against
him to a policeman who had been summoned,
and who very properly compelled them to ac-
company their victim to the police station.
Justice Murray heard the story, dismissed the
complaint, condemned the outrage in fitting
terms, and instructed Fitzpatrick TO make a
charge OF assault and battery against his as
sailants. They will appear to answer to-mor-
row.
This case is notable for this fact, among
others, that the trainmen do not allege that they
were attacked first and were merely defending
themselves. Their sole excuse is that the
passenger pulled the belrOpe contrary to the
law and the regulations of the company, and
4bo;. d,,t,, y, 10
rest. The Manhattan Company has numerous
sins to answer for but we do not imagine that
it has instructed its employees to pound an in
discreet passenger into insensbiity as pre-
liminary to invoking the services Of a police
man. This is an aggravated case, but as we
said at the outset offences of similar nature
are not intcquent and they appear to be either
increasing or more carefully reported Passengers
are daily cursed, Sneered at and otherwise insult
ed, and no doubt they would be knocked down
still oftener If they were not generally meeker
chan Fitzpatrick was. 1t is impossible that the
officers OF the company can be ignorant of the
treatment to which its patrons are constantly
exposed and frequently subjected but if they
have ever tried to prevent such doings they
have failed miserably.
we 40 not WISH 10 De unGerStOOu as charging
that all or most of the elevated railroad en-
ployes are brutes. We haven't the least doubt
that a majority of them are respectable men,
who try to be as amabe and obigng as cir
oumstances permit and who are incapable OF
such conduct as that we have been describing.
But the minority of ill-tempered insOlent, over
bearing and quarresOme runans is inexcusably
large, and it is high time that the company took
up in earnest the task of wedding them out.
