She Sails for honolulu in an Alleged
Unseaworthy Condition.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 10.-The U. S.
8. Pensacola left here this afternoon for
Honolulu.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10.-When the report
was published some days ago that the
U.S.S. Pensacola was unseaworthy, w. H.
Belden, of this city, whose son is serving
an apprenticeship on that vessel, wrote
him asking for information on the sub
ject. The reply received was as follows ::
You say that if the ship is not fit to go
to sea, the officers would not let her 60,
but you are mistaken. The officers
know she is not seaworthy, but they
can't help themselves. The situation is
this wav: She came here to go out of
commission after being only two years
out OF Norfolk navy yard. The contrac-
tor is here now that was at Norfolk
then. and he would not condemn his
own work alter so short a time. The
ship is safe enough in fair weather, but
if she ever gets heavy blow, would
rather be out of her. When she rolls,
the spar deck goes from one side to the
other, and all the seams OPEN"

WASHINGTON, Sept l0.-Secretary
Tracy has made further changes IN the
squadron OF the North Atlantic coast.
An order issued this morning trans
ferfed the Boston and Atlanta from Ad-
miral Walkers squadron OF evolution
to Admiral Gherardi's command of the
North Atlantic squadron. This leaves
the two squadrons equally balanced in
number of vessels. The Enterprise,
which was under Admiral Gherardi's
command, is to go to Annapolis as a
practise ship for cadets. Further changes
are likely to follow.
Admiral Benham, lately commandant
at Mare Island navy yard, has been
assigned to the command of the South
Atlantic station, to succeed Admiral
McCann who is president of the retir-
ing board and board of promotion. 1t
is probable that one OF the new cruisers,
perhaps the Newark, now in the squad
ron of evolution, will be sent to South
America to serve as Admiral Benham's
flagship.

But One Assessment Roll.

SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. 10.-The county
attorney this afternoon sent Auditor
Smiley an opinion on the board of
equalization late raise OF the San
Francisco assessment. The auditor had
asked whether the raise would apply to
city and county, as well as to state
taxes. The attorney replied that there
can be but one assessment roll, and that
is the roll as finally increased or dimin-
ished by the board of equalization. The
fact that the auditor has received the
boards increased roll, makes it his duty
under the political code, to make the
requisite corrections and complete the
taxes payable for special purposes.

MalcOntents' Efforts.
LIMA, Ohio, Sept. TO- superintendent
Hill and Trainmaster Cook, of the Lake
Erie and Western, went into the yards
today and made up a train in place of
the striking switchmen. The train got
out, but when four miles from town
strikers boarded it and pulled every pin,
which they hid in the grass. They COM
PEELED the engineer and tiremen to let
the water out of the engine and leave
the train. The eastbound passenger
train was delayed four hours until the
freight train could be removed. At
O'Clock this afternoon the fist freight
train in two days was gotten under sue
cessful headway. 1t was followed by an
engine to Buttland, ten miles, armed
officers being on the engine. The
strikers made no attempt to stop it.
Since then several trains have been sent
out, and it is believed the company has
won. This morning the switchmen
spiked the switches and did everything
possible to cause trouble, when Super
intendent Hill swore out warrants for
their arrest, and they desisted.
Today the striking yardmen held a
conference with General Superintendent
Hill. On their refusal to return to work
at the company's terms, they were dis
charged.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 10. - Robert
Ramsey, superintendent OF Frick &
Co.'s great mines and coke works, at
COnnellsville, Pa, and Robert Bentley,
secretary of the Ohio Iron and Steel
company, of Youngstown, o., arrived
here last night. They compose one of
three prominent eastern parties for ex-
ploring the Pacific coast to look up coal,
coke and iron resources, with the view
of manufacturing coke, pig iron and
steel. One of these parties has been in
California for some time; another is in
the northwest, and Secretary Bentley
and Superintendent Ramsey have Just
arrived from the nolth after three
weeks careful inspection there. They
visited all the big coal mines of Wash
iDgton and Oregon, and also in
spected the iron mines. They have col
lected several hundred pounds of iron ore
and forwarded it east to be tested. They
are here now to ascertain what Cali
fornia's coke and iron resources are, and
to learn whether the establishment OF a
great iron and steel mandatory would
be warranted here. "We have looked
over sthe country" said Superintendent
Ramsey, from Fair Haven down. We
have found good coking coal from Will
kenson's mines, Puget sound. As to
iron we are not certain, for our tests are
not completed. Our Investigations are
not sufficient to say if there is sup
ply of Bessemer ore, but we think there
is. We are satisfied the Pacific coast
has coal to manufacture good coke"

SOLDIERS, HOMES.
Quarterly Meeting of the National Board
of Management.

OF management
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The board of
managers of the National Home for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, has about
concluded its quarterly meeting in this
city. At the last meeting a provision
was made for the creation OF medical
boards at each branch, to examine the
inmates and ascertain what proportion
of them are able to maintain themselves,
and are not disabled. These reports
are now under consideration. The board
at the California branch reports not a
single inmate who could properly be
excluded. In the central branch, the
board found thirty-fve inmates that
should be excluded because they have
sufficient income to support themselves,
and seventeen because they were physi-
cally able. The Milwaukee branch has
not yet reported. The board has not
yet determined upon the line of policy
to be pursued in these cases. 1t is de-
sired to rid the homes of inmates really
able to take care of themselves, in order
to afford room for deserving veterans.
But SO many considerations arise that it
is not practicable to apply a general rule.

Secretary Noble Reverses the Oregon
Swamp Lands Decision.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Secretary
Noble today rendered decision in the
long pending case of the Oregon swamp
lands, known as list five. The case
dates back to the passage of the swamp
land grant of 1850, which was extended
to the state of Oregon, and has been be-
fore nearly every secretary since that
time in some shape or form. The pres
ent matter is before the department on
certiorari, and involves nearly $4,000
acres. The secretary, from afidavits
presented, thinks the decision of the
commissioner of the land office, in
ordinary hearings, is not justified, and
entertaining such views, he reverses the
commissioners decision, dismissing the
contests, and all entries and filings on
the land in controversy, and directs the
commissioner to prepare clear lists of
the lands SO they may be approved and
patented.

THE GRAIN BLOCKADE.
Crops in Kansas Have Not Yet Begun to
Move in Earnest.


KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Sept. 10.-The
Star says In regard to the reported
blockade in the movement of wheat in
this city, that the reports would not
nave been far from correct had they
been printed week or ten days ago.
But coming as they do just now,
when the railroads are clearing up
the last bunch of cars left over
from last weeks rush, it is hard for
the grain men and agents to believe.
Every one knows the real situation last
week. The roads were caught unawares,
and for a time cars could not be had fast
enough to handle the grain. The extra
efforts made by the lines, and the de-
crease in receipts, have combined to
clear the yards here. At no time last
week was the rush equal to previous
wears. The real rush has not yet begun.
Many predict blockade when the
enormous grain crop OF Kansas begins
to move in earnest.

New YORK, Sept. 10.-The tale of the
horrible disaster in Park place, resulting
in the death OF sixty-odd human beings,
is now ended, with the verdict of the
Jury. 1t found that the people killed
lost their lives by the collapse of the
buildings, caused by the giving
away of the supporting iron
columns near the middle of the ground
floor, due to some sudden shock
applied to said columns, and not prima-
rily due to their apparent inherent
weakness. The jury was unable to find
whether the breaking of these columns
was due to an explosion or not. The
jury recommended legislation authoriz-
ing the fire department to periodically
inspect all buildings used for printing,
manufacturing and storage purposes.

CALIFORNIA PKUNEs.
The Crop Short But the Product Com
manding Good Prices.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 10.-Secretary
Lelong, of the state board of horticul-
ture, said today that while somewhat
early to speak authoritatively concern
ing this years prune crop, conservative
estimates place it at between $4,000, 900
and 18,000,000 pounds. The shortage
as compared with the expected output
is due to late rains in some localities
and excessive heat in others. Prunes
are being contracted for at the rate of
Az to 51s cents per pound in bulk.
There has been a considerable amount
bonded at these figures, but many
growers are holding back for better
prices. The quality of this years crop,
he stated, is excellent, and they should
sell IN the east at two to three cents per
pound more than imported fruit.

A SMALL CHICAGO
Is What the Southern Pacific will Make
Fresno.

Fresno.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 10.-General Su-
periDtendent Fillmore states that the
removal of the Tulare shops and divis-
ION headquarters to Bakersfield and
Fresno, will be effected by November
lst. All the works and division offices
at Tulare will be abandoned. The ma
chine shops will go to Bakersfield, and
the Offices to Fresno. The reason for
this is that the railroad people have
concluded to make the divisions in the
San joaquin valley run from Lathrop to
Fresno, and from Fresno to Bakersfield.
Mr.. Fillmore says this move, coupled
with the new railroad enterprises, will
make Fresno a small Chicago.
