Later it was learned that E Foerstel, son
Of City Treasurer Foerstel, and his assistant
aad committed suicide.
A suspicion was aroused that young
Foerstel was short In his accounts, and
that the fire had been started with a view
Of destroying the evidence OF the defalca-

Fifth street leisurely, when a woman ran
out of the Albion House across the street,

that thoroughfare.
At the corner of Washington and Clark
streets United States mail wagon at
tempted to go through the crowd, and
word was sent 10 Inspector Ross, who
was at his Office at the City Hall. The
Inspector walked over to the corner of
Clark street, and. calling couple of po-
llcemen, ordered them to clear a passage
for the mail wagon. This angered the
to get ugly. Near the sidewalk was a
buggy belonging to j. II. Martindale,
whom the crowd directed to get out of the
way. This he could not do, and the mob
seized the buggy and threw it upon the
sidewalk with crash. 1t was when In
spector Ross, at this moment, followed
by three officers, rushed into the crowd
and ordered it back, that the rioting COM
menced.
Ross was struck on the head with
paving stone and felled to the earth, but
quickly regained his feet and attack ed the
maddened crowd, and with powerful
blows he knocked down several rioters,
his men standing by him pluckily. The
crowd was to strong for them, however,
and when Sergeant Swift went down
with a broken head Inspector Ross drew
his revolver and kept the mob at bay for
an instant,
Inspector Shea hurried from the City
Hall at the head of a dozen men and
charged the crowd. The police by this
time had got the better of the mob and
had forced it back after lively struggle,
III which clubs, stones and revolver
handles were freely used on both sides.
few minutes later Inspector Lewis
came up at the head of seventy men, fol-
lowed later by the patrol wagons bearing
200 more policemen. the crowd, which
mum oered 1000 by this time, was quickly
dispersed.
When Mayor Garrison, a few minutes
later, learned of the fight he ordered
that hereafter there should be no more
paradeS nor meetings allowed.
Alter the men were dispersed at the
City Hall they again assembled at the
Lake front, where speech h-making was
resumed. Mayor Harrison addressed the
crowd and implored them to 90 back to
their homes and manfully indure their
temporary misfortune. He declared that
they would gain nothing by parades and
demonstrations, which he would not tol-
crate. When he had finished the crowd
cheered the Mayor.
But one meeting of unemployed was
held here to-day, and the proceedings
there were so orderly as not to require
any Interference on the part of the police.
Several of the rioters arrested yes
terday, none OF whom can speak English
will be arraigned tomorrow.
Typographical Union No. l6, including
all the large English papers of the city,
adopted radical methods this afternoon
for the relief OF the unemployed, in the
shape of rule, to hold good for five
weeks, that none of the regularly en-
pIoyed shall work more than four days
each week, putting on subs the other two.

Rio Vista Neios: Our Supervisors are to

we trust that when they return they will
be i'm bued with progressive spirit. and
start out by giving us an opportunity to
vote on proposition to bond the county
for the purpose of building substantial
highways.
Antioch Ledger: There is no reason
why any man, woman or child in Cali
tornia should go hungry. If the idle will
keep away from the large cities and ex-
ercise industry they need not 90 hungry.
Shasta Courier: Whenever newspaper
man gets so he can please everybody, his
usefulness on the earth will be cut short
off, for right there he will be waited on
angels wings to the haven of rest beyond.
Santa Cruz Sentinel: Now is the time
to macadamize streets, when material
and labor are cheap. Besides, it is true
nobility to give mon who are willing to
work chance to work. Charity is not
what worthy men want. but chance to
earn living.
Oakland Times: 81 am hungry: want
work; l must have work" is not pleas
ant refrain to hear. There is no argument
that can be opposed to such an appeal.
Gilroy Advocate; Over-production is a
failacy. There can be no such thing in
California fruits. We have the Union to

VIENNA, Aug. 27.-In lengthy an
nuaI worlds crop report prepared by
government officials the estimated eld
Tor North America is placed at $50, ,OOc,O0O
bushels of wheat, 243 1856, 900 bushels of
rye and l,S09,0O0,00O bushels of corn.
The worlds production of wheat this
year Is estimated at :, 2,279, 10000 bushels,
against an official average of 2,2SO,O0O 900
annually for ten years. The deficits to
be filled by importing countries will re-
qulre 379,O00,O00 bushels. The surplus
available in exporting countries to satisfy
this demand is SIS, 500, 900 bushels. The
worlds product of rye is given as 49,
OOO,OOO hectolitres. The United States
surplus is estimated at 90, ,5I7 600 bushels.
FAIR CHANCE FOR PRICES TO ADVANCE.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Times, in the
course OF long leader on the dismal
agricultural prospects of Great Britain,
says: Foreign competition depresses the
price OF cattle and corn. Imports OF
animals and meat, it says, Will swamp
the markets this year. Great Britain
Will be more than ever dependent on
foreign supplies, and will require at least,
ZoOOO,OOO quarters from abroad. France
must import more than twice as much as
she usually does. Germany has already
begun to draw on the American mark cts
for supplies. When the nations thus bid
against each other, the article says, there
Is fair chance for prices 10 advance.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
Some of the Strongest Men In the Old
Chamber Defeated.

Some of the Strongest Men In the Old
Chamber Defeated.
PARIS, Aug. 27.-At the first glance the
result Of last Sundays national polling
seems to be an overwhelming victory for
republican institutions and the stability Of
the Government. Figures now at hand
prove that the popular verdict is a more
genuine expression Of the will OF tho
electors than was expected. Nearly two
thirds of those entitled to suffrage went TO
the polls. The apathy III Paris down to
the day of the election led many 10 be-
ieVe that not more than half of the elect
orate would vote. The enemies OF the
republic who have been elected are small
in numbers and influence. The support
given to the present form of government
by the nation IS even stronger than eX-
pected. The new Chamber, however will
be a woefully weak body of men, and the
stability and integrity OF the administrs-
ton Is by no means assured.
Accusers in the disgTaceful scandals of
last year have Jared worse than the ac-
cused. Some of the strongest and clean
est men in the old Chamber have been
defeated. The most deeply stained by
halt-prOVed dlShonOr have been re- elected
or head their poll for the second ballot.
The so-called Government minority in
the new Chamber will be large, but not
homogeneous.
The gains of the Socialists have been
great, but not so extensive as many ex-
pected. They held only fourteen seats in
the last Chamber and will probably oc-
cupy about eighty IN the new one
The Presidential outlook is obscured
by further grave reports about the health
of NJ. Carnot. Medical authority is
quoted for the statement that he is suffer
ing from cancerous affection of the
liver, which will inevitably cut short his
career. 1t is said that an operation will
be performed in few days.
The new French Chamber of Deputies
has but 5Sl Deputies, or three fewer tLan
sat in the last Chamber. The decrease is
due to the decrease Of the population in
certain districts since the last general
election.
There is little interest in the reballots
during the first week in September Ex-
Premier Goblet is likely to be returned
from his Paris district. NJ. Floquet, ex-
President Of the Chamber, may be de-
feated, as he has received only 600 votes
more than did Socialist keherat. M. La
gasse, RavachoPs lawyer, received 500
votes III the same district. He has re-
tired and most of his support will 90
against Floquet.
1t is expected that second ballots, made
necessary through the failure of many Of
the candidates to secure the requisite ma
tority in the general elections, will result
in the return of % Republicans, 81 Radi-
calls. 20 Socialists, 8 Conservateurs Raj
lied and 20 Reactionaires.

fresh cases of cholera were reported at
Rotterdam to-day. Two new cases were

One new case of cholera and one death
were reported at Antwerp yesterday.
A Berlin correspondent of the Times

river is infected. The Government has
ordered the closing of all river baths.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The crew of the

twelve hours or more. The Glengarian
collided with an unknown schooner off

after Intellectual efforts to stop the leak
the crew had to take to the boats. AS
