The Flames on Mount Hamilton Checked
in Time.
SAN JOSE, July 24.-The great noun
tain fire that has been raging near the
Lick observatory, has been materially
checked, and at 10 O'Clock tonight no
further danger to the observatory is ap-
pretended. The large force of fire-fight-
ers. who have been working with almost
superhuman efforts, succeeded, by dig
ging around the east line, to change it's
course. The FIRE is now. running towards
Isabel creek. The men tonight have
ceased fighting it, but are watching it t.
prevent its crossing the creek. 1t may
gain ground sufficiently to reach San
Antoine valley.
Last night the fire was so great that
the whole country around the observa-
tory was a blaze of light, making it al
most possible to read a paper at Smith
creek. The heat was intense. The as
tronomers were fighting the fire like
demons. Much anxiety was felt about
the delicate astronomical instruments
on account of the heat, but it is learned
tonight that they were not injured.
1t is impossible to accurately estimate
what the total loss will be. About
5000 acres have been burned over.
Robert Morrow, of San Francisco, had
about 2500 acres swept over, which en-
tails loss of much valuable timber, in
Guiding about 1000 cords OF wood belong
ing to the observatory. No buildings,
with the exception of barn belonging
to Hamberg Pros, of San Jose, and a
few deserted shanties, have been
burned.

Briceville and Coal Greek. The miners
committee will accompany the latter,
so as to guarantee protection to the
convicts. This ends all the trouble.

ALLIANCE DEMAGOGUES.
THE ALLEGED PROMOTERS OF THE
BIG CORNER IN WHEAT.
An Official Denial That Any Such Trust
is Being Formed-Editor Crum Says
the Scheme is Silly and Absurd.

New YORK, July 24--Today reporter
interviewed W. G. Crum, general man
ager of the New York Bureau of the
National Farmers Alliance and Reform
Press association, touching the so-called
wheat trust combine among the farm
ers. He denied that any such combine
had been formed. The suggestion was
made, he said, some time ago that the
farmers would do we'll to hold their
wheat for remunerative prices, in pref
erence to allowing it to fall
into the hands of unscrupulous
speculators. Upon this advice word
was sent out through the bureau
of the reform press two weeks ago advis-
ing the farmers to hold their wheat.
Several sub-ailiances in Illinois met and
passed resolutions to this effect, which
were published in the alliance papers,
there being no effort to conceal the fact
whatever
Crum said the attempt to make it ap-
pear row as if some "traitor" has re-
vealed the matter prematurely, is in
keeping with many similar attempts to
invest certain ambitious leaders with an
air of Importance far beyond their ability
or worth. Editor Cum, who is practical
farmer himself, apd thoroughly posted
in the scheme, as narrated, says he does
not believe intelligent farmers will be
caught with such chaf. He is convinced
that certain schemers are trying to work
the Farmers Alliance for all it is worth
for selfish and political purposes.
AS to the combination among the
farmers, Crum said: Il would be very
glad if the farmers could, by combina-
ton, secure good prices, especially for
wheat. The report from st. Paul stat
ing that Ignatius Donnelly was
opposed to a wheat trust
among thesfarmers, betrays the dema-
gogy of the whole plot, for, while
championing the cause of the farmers,
he is we'll known as Knight of Labor
leader in the west. He is looking
for the presidential nomination in
1892. He hesitates to urge wheat
combine, which would affect the
price of bread of those whose
suffrages we must have. 'While
/ favor any plan which will
contribute honestly to the farmers
welfare, I have doubts OF the eff
cheney OF the policy of the farmers
holding too long upon their wheat. 1t
takes money to move, as well as to buy
wheat, and if held too long, and the
worlds crop turns out larger than an
ticipated, crash is eminently more
disastrous in its consequences than
dreamed of in the philosophy of the
most pronounced Alliance doctrine"

man-of-war and the torpedo boat for
some time, and when the situation of
affairs became known on the Condell,
her commander dipped his colors and
sent his chief officer aboard the Pensa-
cola. 1t then became known that the
explosion of the torpedo was stupid
blunder on the part OF the cruiser. Such
apologies as could be offered were made.
but the feeling among the comrades of
the dead sailors was very bitter.
THE REPORT DIsCREDITED
Commodore Irving, the commandant
at the Brooklyn navy yard, was seen at
his residence this evening and told Of
the report of the sinking OF the Pensa-
cola's steam launch, and the killing Of
five of her crew. II have heard nothing
of any such occurrence" said the COM
modore, land it is my belief that
there is no truth in the story. Only to-
day 1 received let ter from Admiral
McCann, dated July 9th, from Callao,
and he writes from on board of the Bal
timore and informs me that the Pensa-
cola was preparing to sail for San Fran
cisco. Had there been any such occur
renee as you relate, he would certainly
have said something about it."

Reported Blowing Up of the Pensacola'i
Steam Launch With Five Men.

steam L0uuCn with Five M en-.
New York, July PA correspondent
at Callao, Peru, under date OF June
oath. writes to his paper thus: The
man-of-war Pensacola, of the United
States navy, has just arrived here after
an exciting run along the Chilean coast
and 1 send you the first news of a
thrilling accident at africa, Chile, by
which five sailors of the Pensacola lost
their lives. Her steam launch was
blown up in the harbor OF africa by the
Chilean torpedo boat Condell, and every
man on board killed. The list OF dead
includes: O. Smith, New York; VIM.
Hayes, Brooklyn; Frank Peckham,
Newark, N. j.. Teddy O'Rourke, Hunt
ington, L. L.; Arthur f. Dykeman,
Pearsalls, L. L.
The attack took place on the evening
of June 1st. The Condell stole into the
harbor of africa about Z p. m. There
was heavy fog, and objects at dis
tance of 100 yards could not be seen
with any distinctness. The steam
launch had left the Pensacola on the
regular evening trip to shore,
and was making her way slowly,
when suddenly those on the
man-of-war saw the little boat lifted
completely out of the water. The quiet
that followed told plainly that the five
men aboard the launch had been killed.
The search light Of the Pensacola was
brought into play, and at the same in
stant orders were given to lower boats.
The Condell was discovered short dis
tance away. The Chilean cruiser had
mistaken the launch for an insurgent
boat, and used torpedo with deadly ef-
feet. There was intense excitementaboard
both vessels for the next twenty min
1tes. Signalling continued between the
