been $ question as to whether a rainy
season or one of retrenched rainfall
brought the most money into this
county. Our mesa farmers have had
great good luck for years past, and it
may be just ~ well to see the favors OF

that is that no one who will properly

THOSE who have been devoting them
selves to erecting the buildings for the
Midwinter Fair in the Sunset City had
a hard time OF it for four or five days
last week. The foodgates OF heaven
were opened and the rains came down
pitilessly, much to the disgruntlement
OF the wofkmeu and contractors. The
Chronicle Of Friday, however, deals out
some consolation to these people by
producing table and analogies by
which il proves that the present winter
will not be q specially wet one. We are
inclined to think that our contempo-
rary is right. All the indications thus
far point to season of limited rainfall,
although in California the most pre-
tsntious weather prophet is liable to be
out in mis- reckoning. 1t will not hurt
our farmers to do as much dry plough
ing and seeding as they can. Should the
rains be specially abundant Agricola will
have lost nothing; while, if they should
prove to be atinteds they will be SO

The summary OF the event is as fol-

The next pair of dogs to be called to

In the second ties Conchita Belle and
Charleston were the first contestants,

and the race WAS q short one. Conchita

to Conchita Belle.

heat.
The final between w. Cota's Conchita
Belle and Rice's Tom was next put in

dogs were put in the slips and when at
last hare was started, the attention of
the onlookers was great. The slip was
nearly made, Conchita Belle leading
slightly. The chase was long and
brilliant one, but Tom failed to overtake

about six feet Of the levee gave way to
the pressure of the waters at the first
instance. The alarm was Immediately
sounded, but there being no material
in the vicinity nothing could be done
towards closing it. The spot is very
bad one for crevasse to occur. The
levee is high one, about twelve feet,
and owing to the action of the
water, being sweeping curve
in the river, the bank is a caving. There
is fully thirty feet of water just of

impossible to close the brake. Tho
water will flood vast area of land un-

ON THE ALERT.
President Cleveland Anxious About the
Silver Question,
Secretary Carlisle Thinks the Sherman Act
Will Be Repealed. But Fears some
thing Worse May BE substituted.
Congressman Rayner Leads.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-President
Cleveland is watching with much inter
est the numerous efforts being made by
congressman and by newspapers to
poll members of the next congress on
the silver question. As whole the
returns have been quite satisfactory to
the administration, as they support the
confidence the president had begun to
feel in the improved condition of demo-
cratic opinion as to the necessity for
repeating at once the Sherman pur-
chase act. II is understood, however,
that Secretary Carlisle is still far from
satisfied with the prospect.
He has no doubt that majority Of
the house will favor the repeal Of the
law, but he does not yet see that there
will be sufficient number of votes to
repeal it without stipulation for
something else as the price Of repeal.
What with the members who will not
vote for repeal unless they can have
free coinage for it, and the other MEM
bers who insist that repeal shall only
be granted with the gift of the repeal
Of the tax on state banks, the secretary
is unable to express perfect confidence
in the action of the house
There is no doubt that before the
congress is called upon to legislate
there will be an effort to ascertain to
what extent the proposition to repeal
the state banks will be acceptable in
congress, and among the business men
who are apt to look at it from point
of view not affected by partisan
ship. Oddly enough the opposition
to state banks now seems
to come from sections of the
country that have the greatest need of
the banking facilities that free bank
ing would supply. Kansas, which
knows itself best, is for greenbacks,
and in other parts of the west there is
opposition to state banks, while the
south is strongly inclined to look upon
the proposition as furnishing good
solution, with the adoption Of careful
safeguards, for the oft-complained of
scarcity OF currency. n. .ta
Congressman Rayner, Of. Maryland, is
taking the initiative toward becoming
the leader against the Sherman pur-
chase act. Mr.. Rayner has written to
all the most prominent opponents of
free silver and asks what VIII be their
course in the next congress. The re-
sponses are likely to be moro definite
than those hsretofore given for, ,publi-
cation. r' ,'~'sA'rs 'tf'Nv'
Mr.. Rayner was foremost snti-silver
man in the last congress, and was one
of the half dozen leaders including
such men as Harter, Tracy and. An
drews, who mapped out every detail OF
campaign whenever the financial ques-
tion arose. Mr.. Rayner's services in
this connection is 50 we'll known by his
old congressional associates that his
present canvass is regarded as more or
less official in character. 1t will be the
basis of calculation among the anti
silver men. 1t is likely also to advance
Mr.. Rayner to the leadership of the
anti-silver ranks. He is skillful par
liamentarian and one of the best speak
ers in congress-
