HEAVY WIND STORM.
Destroys Many Frame Buildings
in San Francisco.
Much Damage Done to shipping, Several
Boats Capsized ana seyen Italian
Fishermen Drowned.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The rain storm
which began here Saturday night has con-
tinued at intervals and has been accompa-
MED by winds from The southeast and
southwest that has done some damage to
signs, fences and to shipping in the harbor.
Ferry beats were prevented from running
today for q time aud the steamers Corona
and Pomona which make weekly trips to
parts north and south on the coast did not
put out today. A number of small schoon-
ers were washed ashore and badly damaged
and several large vessels drifted from their
mooring but brought up before any serious
damage occurred at isolated or exposed in
lets. In this city ana vicinity number
of frame buildings were blown down
but with the exception OF Chinaman who
was caught under falling timbers no loss
of life occurred. Communication with
points outside the city by wire WAS more
nearly cut off today than at any time dur
ing the storm, but sucn reports as have
been received from outside points do not
indicate that any excess of damage has
been done.
Reports were received this afternoon
that several fishing boats were capsized
near West Berkeley, Cal, and that seven
Italian fishermen had been drowned. No
additional particulars are yet received.
Later-Repcrts this evening state that
many washouts have occurred on the rail
roads. There is much damage in upper
Sacramento and Feather River valley by
high water. The American river has also
risen rapidly, causing much damage. The
storm ceased today and prospects now are
for clear weather.

CALIFORNIA Tagging.
No Definite Move Made Regarding Minir
Exhibit at the Fair.

No Definite Move Made Regarding Mining
Exhibit ut the Fair.
CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 1.-There is great
demand for space in the mining building 81
the Worlds Fair and the most of the
states awarded space are fast completing
arrangements for their exhibits; Califor-
mia, however, is the one state which is
showing a decidedly tagging spirit. Though
it was assigned one of the most desirable
parts OF the mines and mining building In
the center OF the main aisle and directly
opposite the Mexico display, the California
Worlds Fair board has not vet accepted
this space. Moreover, in recent letter to
the Worlds fair management the secretary
of the California association said that
they were not yet in position to
state whether they desired the space
allotted to them or not. Every inch of
space in the mining building is wanted and
several states VINO do not know whether
they want to place an exhibit in the build
ing or not are clamO-ing for increased al
lotment The Worlds fair management
is considerably wrought up over the lassi-
tude shown by the California commission,
and are anxiously awaiting reply one
way or another.
The California commits sion, IL 1s believed,
is doing nothing TO foster the exhibits TO
this great building aud is displaying the
most vRscillating methods, making such
statements as that they have not made up
their minds as yet as to whether they will
want the space or not. 1t is more than
possible if some definite move is not made
shortly the space assigned to California
will be declared vacant and be allotted to
some other states who show an inclination
to make good exhibit.

A STRANGE CASE!
That Of a Murderer Who Is to Be
Hanged.
He Is, so Far as the Courts Are Concerned,
COnstsuctively Dead, as He Was adj
judged Hanged Last June.

WAsHIveToN, Dec. l. Especial. lin the
district jail here lies the convicted wife
murderer, William Douglass Cross, and it
is likely that the long legal tangle Will be
ended with his execution tomorrow. Cross
is constructively dead. He was found
guilty of murder for the second time and
sentenced to be hanged on Jan. a. last
The day before that named for his execu-
ton writ OF error was allowed to the
Supreme Court Of the United States and
the execution was postponed till June TO-.
the Supreme Court dismissed the writ of
error May 49, and affirmed the decree of
the lower court that Cross must hang on
June 10, But or May %, his counsel filed
a petition for writ Of habeas corpus,
which the district court refused to ISSUE
but granted an appeal to the Supreme
Court. Chief Justice Fuller dismissed this
appeal, holding that the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court did not extend to it. Con
sequently Cross is constructlvely dead, as
far as the records Of the courts show, hev-
ing been adjudged legally hanged June 10.
But the district court has sentenced him to

JAY GOULD DYING.
He Has Consumption and the End
Is Near.
Ee May Live a Few Days but His Living Is
Now Narrowed Almost
to Hours

NEW YORK, Dec. Lit has been deter
mined that Jay Gould is suffering from
consumption and is doubtless now in his
genial climate and it was hoped until re-
Gently that he might be able this winter to
get away from New York to some locality
whore the atmosphere is more bland than
here. The development Of his trouble has,
however, prevented his contemplated re-
moval and Gould now lies at his Fifth
avenue home in this city growing weaker
daily. His entire family ia within reach Of
hurried summons and personal medical
attendants are in close attendance. To
seek details of the sickro0m would be q
fruitl5ss effort for such information is
rigldly held within the family circle.
That Gould has, as has been rumored,
suffered hemorrhage. may or may not be
true. 1t matters not. The health of the
great fnancier has many times in years
gone by been the subject of sensational and
designing rumor. This writing, however
deals with no rumor, nor is it designed to
create e sensation. Gould is low with
consumption. He is weak, and each day
his physical forces less oppose the advance
of the disease. His life may be prolonged
for some days but his days are well nigh
numbered, and the limit of his living may
be said to be narrowed almost to hours.
At midnight it is stated that Gould is IN
conscious and an hour later he is still in
the same state.
1t is learned tonight that both George
Gould and Doctor Mum are greatly wor-
ried. The alarming symptoms in Could 8
case are hemorrhages of the stomach. The
first of these occurred on Nov. %, since

have no reason to believe, however, that the
present attack is more serious than previous
ones. What he needsIs absolute rest.
There is no doubt Gould over-exerted
himself the week before Thanksgiving by
attending meetings down town three days
in seven. George told me the day after his
fathers last trip down town, that he was
compelled to go to bed and stay there
ever since"
At 3: 80 this, Friday, morning. the Gould

BLUFF AND BOUNCE.
What the Indian Currency Com
mission Wanted.
They Attempted Scheme which was Finally
Disapproyed by Majority of the
Committee.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The India currency
commission viii resume their sittings early
in January whether the monetary confer
brought to close. Members Of the com
mission are certain to have by January
some definite idea on what the Issues OF
the Brussels meeting are to be and how
they may affect the currency of India. The
Associated Press has already reported that
the India commission had under considera-
ton proposal to declare gold standard
for India. There is no doubt as to the fact
that certain strong adherents of the single
standard tried to snatch vote from the
commission in favor of gold standard for
India and some members who We're fully
cognizant OF the momentous consequences
of such decision yet adhered to IL deslr-
ing that English delegates should be armed
with it when going 10 Brussels as a weapon
of defense and offense against Bimetallists.
These tactics of 'bluff and bounce" were
not approved by majority of the commits
sion who justly thought the Brussels dele
cation would accurately gauge the same
decision or reported recommendation OF
the Indian commission.
Ultimately the commission will smash
the gold standard proposal and if it makes
any important recommendation whatever

allowing business and currency values to

those who spoke Of the evil arising from
an unlimited coinage of silver in India the
principal ones simply advocated that the
government of India shall have power to
