WORLDS FAIR MEETING
THE CALIFORNIA COMMISSION
HOLDS A SESSION.
How the 100000 Appropriated is to Be
Spent-All Plans for the California
Building Rejected-Individual Exhib-
itors to Be Assisted.

San Francisco, Dec. L. The first
meeting of any Importance that has
been held by the California Worlds fair
commission since it's meeting in Chicago
last June, took place today. One con-
sideration was the invitation of the ma
tional commission to send representa-
tive to participate in general confer
ence with that body and the members
of the local directory of the worlds
fair, to be held at Chicago on December
9th. Commissioner Thompson was pre-
vailed upon to represent the commits
sian, and the regular monthly meeting
set for December 9Th was postponed un-
til December 10th, when he will
have returned and will be able to
present report to the commission.
Much doubt exists IN the minds of
many exhibitors as to the policy to be
pursued in regard to displays in the de-
partment buildings for competitive
prizes, where the displays will represent
California industries, rather than indi-
viduals arranging them, and the follow
ing resolution was adopted to settle the
Resolved, That the commission, out
of the funds appropriated by the state,
first erect state building and collect a
state exhibit to be contained therein !;
second, aid numerous exhibitors in the
discretion of the commission to enter
into competition In the different depart
ments."
The questions OF the style and plan OF
the building to be erected on the Cali
iornia site at the fair were considered
at length, and all the plans submitted
by the local architects last June were
rejected and ordered returned to their
Makers as none filled the requirements
of the commission.
A committee consisting of Commits
sioners Phelan, Hatch and Thompson
was appointed to consult with the lead
ing architects, and secure from them
such ideas as to the building to be
erected as would enable them to make
some definite report at the meeting on
the 10th instant.
No appointments will be made OIL
salaries fixed until the full board is
| present.

The Rio srande Rebellion.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-Advices from Brazil
regarding the situation in Rio Grande
do Sui, are of such an extremely con-
fiicting character that it ia impossible to
conceive what the true situation there
is. A dispatch was received today from
the Brazilian minister of foreign affairs,
stating that Immediately upon the re-
storation of the legal government
ofthe state, after the deposition of Da
Fonseca, the insurgents laid down their
arms. This dispatch does not in any
way agree with the statement made
yesterday that the people of Rio Grande
refused to obey the orders sent from Rio
Janeiro, instructing the authorities to
restore Governor Castillo to power
that the national guard has been mobil-
lied, and that serious outbreak was
looked for.

full examination of the right-of-way
contracts recently furnished to the
Southern Pacific company by the citi-
zens' committee of San Luis Obispo and
Santa Barbara counties, the company
made report upon them today, declar-
ing them to be satisfactory. The rail-
road officials say that, although the
citizens committee have worked slowly,
they have done their work well, and
that the company now stands ready to
fulfill its part OF the agreement, that is,
the immediate construction of the line.
Chief Engineer Hood has greatly inter
ested himself in this project, and is do
ing what he can to help on the preim-
mary work as to rights of way. The
road has been definitely surveyed, and
it is likely that the tunnel work in the
mountains will be prosecuted with vigor
this winter, and that San Luis Obispo
will be reached by rail before July 1st

New YORK, Dec. LA meeting OF the
governing board OF the international
League Of Press clubs was held today t
the Imperial hotel, to complete arrange
ments for the leagues next annual con-
vention at San Francisco, jan
uary 14th. The committee on
transportation reported that ar
rangements were nearly completed for
a special train of delegates to leave New
York via the Pennsylvania road, Janu-
ary 9Th, spend the 9th in Chicago, visit
ing the exposition buildings and
grounds; then by the Northwestern to
Omaha; the Union Pacific to Denver,
spending the 9Th there; then to Salt
Lake City, arriving on the 11th, and
spending day; then by the Central
Pacific to San Francisco, arriving on the
18th; return the same way.
Mr.. De Young urged that the route
be changed and the return made via
Southern California. He said he could
almost assure the league that if they
would visit Los Angeles and San Diego
the newspaper men and citizens in those
cities would appreciate the compliment
and give them hearty reception.
After some argument, and owing tc
the persistence OF Mr.. De Young, the
board instructed the committee tt
change the route, if possible, and re
turn by the Santa Fe. A resolution
was passed authorizing the chairman 0
the committee on programme, Mr.. D'
Young, to represent the league in com
pleting arrangements with the loca
committee in San Francisco.

Incendiarism Practiced In st. Paul as
Means of Manipulating.
ST.. PAUL, Dec. Lone OF the most
diabolical conspiracies ever concocted
was made public here tonight by the
arrest of two members of gang of in
endiaries who for over year have made
regular business of firing houses and
stores for the purpose OF securing a. per-
centage of the insurance money. The
scheme was unearthed by member OF
the local detective service, who managed
to get into confidence with the gang and
nab them in the very act OF applying a
lighted match to house at the corner OF
Water and Edwards streets, owned by
A. M. Lawton. Maurice Michaels is the
name OF one of the men arrested. His
uncle, Mac Michael, was also arrested as
an accessory. Other members OF the
gang will probably be arrested in few
hours. Michael has confessed to burn
ing other houses in this city, and also
stated that when he lived in Chicago,
under the name of John Meyers, he
made lots OF money by the same nefar-
ious practice.

The Eastern Oregon Goes into Dry Dock
for the Last Time.
OLYMPIA, WASH, Dec. 1.-The steam
ship Eastern Oregon arrived here this
evening and went on dry dock soon
afterward. She caught fire in some
unaccountable manner at 10 80 tonight.
She is still burning, and will undoubt-
edly prove total loss. The fire COM
pany here attempted to check the fire
but could do nothing.
Many of the crew and 'longshoremen
brought here to assist in cleaning the
steamer had gone to bed, and it is feared
some of them may have perished in the
flames. A number of men escaped only
in their night clothes, and several
leaped over the side of the vessel into
the mud. The fire spread very rapidlys
and in twenty minutes she was a mass
of flames.
The fire was caused by burning grease
in the galley. The steamer was a total
loss. She was formerly the City of Pa
latka and was in the Florida trade. In
1890 she was brought here by the Ore
gon Improvement company. the present
owners. The loss is $1sD. 900. The in
surance is unknown.

to Make a Demonstration Against
China Without Delay.

New YORK, Dec. LA Hong Kong
Chinese paper, Swim Ye-Bo, received
here, says the revolutionists are num-
bered at 1000, 900 able bodied men. 1t
is said no part of the imperial army at
present upon the field is capable Of
meeting the emergency.
1t is rumored in Chinese circles in
New York that an official telegraphic
dispatch has been reached the Chinese
consulate, said to be from the ministry
at Washington, giving an account of 6
preliminary skirmish recently at the
port of Shanghai. between two italian
men-of-war, in a trial battle or
test with the Chinese government,
and that the newspaper correspondents
there were warned not to telegraph the
exact truth OF the situation, for fear of
injuring the cause of Europeans in
China.
Won Cea Soong, the former popular
consul at the ports of San Francisco and
New York, was recently made general
commander OF the Chinese navy, now
in active service under Viceroy Ii Hung
Chang. This news has created furore
among the New York Chinese friends OF
the former consul, and they all hope he
will be successful in his new post.

Belgian missionaries in Mongolia state
that the missionaries of Taku have es.
capped to the mountains; that during
the recent troubles Chinese priests and
nuns were horribly treated. tits feared
some missionaries were killed at CHA
yohang.
The rebels are not Mongols, but Chi
nese colonists, who are very numerous
in that region. They belong to q secret
society that has been conspiring for four
years, and has imported many foreign
rifles. The severe measures ordered by
the Chinese government provoked the
revolt. Rumors that Russia would in
terferc have spurred the government to
take active measures to stop the revolt.
