Railroad Job That VIII Make the
Largest Artificial Cataract in the
World.

From the San Francisco Examiner
Making a mountain stream run over and
above a railroad track Is a unique piece of
engineering that the Southern Pacific Com
pany Is shortly to commence near Wright's
station In the Santa Cruz mountains. Last
spring there was a big landslide at the
northern end OF the long tunnel near
Wright's station, which caused a blockade
Of the South Pacific coast road for a num-
Der OF weeks, and caved in about a hundred
feet OF the tunnel The moving side of the
mountain as II came down the canon filled
up the bed of a large mountain stream to
such an extent that IL was five or six feet
several feet lower. The creek Is dry now.
but during the rainy season. unless its
course is diverted. the mountain torrent will
sweep over the road so as to make its Ope-
ration at that point impossible.
The officials first entertained the idea of
carting away large quantities of dirt to
lower the bed of the stream to its old level
But that plan was abandoned. because of
the great expense IT would entail. and 1t
northward 200 feet and past the point where
the stream crosses the track by an arch of
solid masonry. Plans for this stone tunnel
The arch will be twenty feet high and be
composed of huge blocks of stone that will
stand the wear and tear of the weather for
years. On the inside IL will have the same
width and height as the tunnel proper, and
viii be constructed in such a manner that
tne stree VI water moving over II VIII NOT
percolate through The top of the arch,
when finished. will be about fifteen feet
above the present bed of the stream. the
latter will have to be raised up to it's level.
This will necessitate filing in for a distance
Of several hundred feet
As the stream flows over the top Of the
stone arch II will have a fail of not less
than twenty feet on the other side of the
track. II win be precipitous fall and dur
ing the winter time. when the volume of
water is large. will make a very pretty
waterfall The officials are inclined to think
II will be the largest artificial waterfall in
the world.

MADRID. Aug. 8.-The old city Of Sara

was the scene yesterday Of a serious riot.
growing out of the dissatisfaction Of the
spectators at a bull fight with the charac-
ter Of the performance. bull that had
been driven into the ring refused. despite
the efforts of the banderilleros, TO display
spirit enough to make the fight interesting
The spectators demanded that another bull
be furnished as a victim for the torero. but
the spiritless animal The crowd in attend
ance arose in en- masse. smashed the seats.
tore the doors from their hinges and set fire
to the material which they had piled in the
bull ring The fire was extinguished by the
bull ring attendants and the mob then be-
gan to riot outside the bull ring. The police
attempted to dispense them and were greet
ed with volley Of stones. 1t was not until
re-enforcements arrived at the scene of the
trouble that the rioters were dispersed
Much difficulty was met In driving the mob
off. and many Of the rioters were wounded
by the police, who had to use their swords
to restore order.
Soldiers Fire Into a Mob.
There was also a riot last evening at San
Sebastian, the well-known Spanish water
ing place in the province Of Guipuzcoa. A
concert was being given in the principal
promenade of the city and the audience.
most of whom were from Basque. Guipuz-
Goa being one of the BASQUE provinces,
demanded that the band play the Basque
hymn. The leader of the musicians re-
fused The mob hooted the players and
then assaulted them. The police and some
Of the audience defended the musicians and
q furious riot resulted.
The rioters were driven from the vicinity
Of the band stand, but they proceeded in q
body to the hotel where Senior Sagasta. the
prime minister Is staying, and amused them
selves by stoning the building. The police
were unable to handle the mob and troops
were summoned to aid them. When the SOL
diers appeared they were stoned by the mob
and many of them were cut and bruised by
the missiles. An order was given for the
troops to fire with ball cartridges into the
now frenzied rioters. The order was
promptly obeyed and two of the rioters fell
dead while several of them were seriously
wounded. The prompt action Of the troops
had the desired effect and the mob quickly
dispersed. Throughout the night however,
a close watch was kept to guard against a
recurrence Of the trouble.

morning prices were kept to their own de-
vices and lower figures resulted. The trad
ing Is still almost entirely professional and
advantage Is taken Of every rise to market
stock bought on previous reactions. The
fact that important news was expected
from Washington during the day was re-
sponsible for the cautious policy so ap-
parent In the forenoon's business. Many
considered that the ultimate repeal Of the
silver bill was such an accepted fact that
the market had already discounted its effect.
but this theory was overthrown upon the
reported defeat Of the first amendment,
when a rally Of IL to 1 1-2 per cent ensued.
The amount Of gold now in transit from

shortly from California. This inflow Of
gold will. 1t IL thought enable the clearing
house committee to retire about N8 900, 900
OF certificates now outstanding.
The lowest prices Of the day were those
recorded just prior to the announcement
that the result of the balloting in the House
had led to a defeat Of the amendments
relative to ratios
The improvement that followed was d.
rectly attributable to the defeat Of the
silver element in Congress.
Sugar started the advance with a gain Of

vanced 1-8 per cent to 40 So and Chicago
