CALIFORNIA GRAIN CROP.

Reports Show That 1t Is Badly Damaged
and viii FAN Short.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2s.-Reports of
the showing of the grain crop of Califor
MIA indicate material damage from unfa-
vorable weather conditions. Early in the
season excessive rains and foods in
the northern part of the state
destroyed much new sown grain and
reduced the usual wheat average in that
section at least 80 per cent. There was a
promise, however, of an enormous yield
in the upper San Joaquin valley, and
southern California, and good reason to
expect that the production in the state as
whole would be an average; but con-
tinued drouth has rendered the conditions
uneven in the south as well as the north.
Some counties report prospect of excess
over last year, while in others the deficit
is expected to be heavy. Recently the
weather has been somewhat more favor
able and all crops sown early last fall are
doing fairly well, but late sown grain in
many places is IN precarious condition.
Much grain in the lower San Joaquin is
beyond redemption and must be cut for
hay. The Pacific rural press estimates
that the wheat yield will be about 80, Co.,,
GOO bushels, a decrease from last year of
{, 000, GOO bushels.

TRON HAWAII.
DR.. Mott Smith Says Thurston
Will Succeed Him.
WHO WILL BE RECOGNIZEDs
The New Flagship of the North atlantic
Squadron.
Reasons Why the San Francisco Was
Ordered from the Pacifc-It Is. to
Show the East Excellent
Naval Construction.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Dr. Mott Smith,
who until recently has been recognized as
the representative at Washington of
whatever government there may be at
Hawaii, has returned to the city. He
confirmed the unofficial announcement
that Lorin Thurston was appointed by
the provisional government of Hawaii as
its representative at Washington.
AT the same time DR.. Smith is in q
quandary. The United States, in DR..
Smiths opinion, has never officially rec
ognized the provisional government now
ruling in Hawaii. II is true that Minis
ter Stevens recognized the new govern
ment, but from what Commissioner Blount
has made public it is difficult to under
stand whether the present administration
recognizes the provisional government or
not.
DR.. Smith is therefore at a loss as to his
future conduct. He proposes, however,
when Thurston arrives here as the new
minister from Hawaii to introduce him to
Secretary Gresham as his successor and
throw upon Gresham the responsibility OF
deciding whom the United States will
recognize as minister from Hawaii.

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
A Man Giving His Residence as Denver
Kills Himself in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o. j, May Be. E. Towner,
a middle-aged, handsome and well dressed
man, blew out his brains with revolver
at the Hollenden this evening. The story
back of it is undoubtedly a start
ling one, but is enYeloped in
mystery. Today fine looking
woman went to the Kennard house
and after engaging room sent for an at
torney. Colonel s. o. Winship re-
sponded. She told him she was Mrs.
F. NJ. Allen, of San Francisco, widow,
and she was being pursued by Towner,
who wanted to marry her, and threatened
to suicide in case she persisted in a re-
fusal. Towner appeared at the hotel
while they were in consultation, and as
Mrs. Allen was evidently i'll Mr.. Winship
spirited her out of the house and sent her
to the Huron street hospital.
Towner departed after asking for Mrs.
"Brown,' and finally, picking out Mrs.
Aliens name on the register as that of the
person he was seeking. He thnn re-
moved his effects from the Irving House,
where he and Mrs. Allen had been stop
ping, and after engaging a room at the
Hollenden, shot himself. He left note to
the coroner saying he died by his own
hand and that Mrs. Brown would pay
funeral expenses. He signed himself as
F. E. Townsend on the register of the
Hollenden, and wrote his place of resi-
dence as Denver.
Mrs. Allen refused to be interviewed
and the only means of Identifying the
man is the woman'S declaration to the
attorney that his name is ToWner and that
he has a brother at Kingfsher, Okla.
Towner and Mrs. Allen travelled together
from the west to Cleveland.

VIOLATING INTERNATIONAL LAW
Soldiers of Nicaragua Train Big Gun OF
a Pacific Mail Steamship.

cO1ulers OF N1CaFaSua IRAN a big Cun on
a Pacific Mail Steamship.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, May 23.-An incident
that may lead to government inquiry was
reported by passenger on the Pacific
mail steamer City of New York, Captain
Johnson, which arrived this morning
from Panama en- route for San Francisco.
On the passage down the steamer did not
touch at San Juan del Sur because of the
revolution in Nicaragua. On en-
tering the port of Carinto the
passengers were amazed to see
soldiers training a big Krupp
gun on the vessel from the government
barracks all ready, as it was afterwards
learned to touch it off. This is in direct
contravention of international courtesy.
The government officers then boarded
the vessel to search her, the supposition
being she had touched at San Juan where
the revolutionists were in control, and
bringing revolutionists to aid in seizing
Carinto.
1t is further learned that the same gun
had been trained on the San Jose of that
line on the s'up' voyage. During the
search there debarked the new American
minister to Nicaragua, Salvador and
Costa Rica, Hon. Louis Baker of st. Paul
accompanied by his two daughters who
had come from Panama.

THE SAN FRANCISCO.
Reasons Why She Is Ordered from the
Pacific Coast.

Reasons Why She Is Ordered from the
Pacific Coast.
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-There have
been some speculation in naval circles as
to the purpose of Secretary Herbert in
bringing the San Francisco around from
the Pacific and making her the flagship
of the North Atlantic squadron Just at
the time when the policy of the depart
ment appears to be to distribute the new
vessels among stations. The reason is
that the secretary of the navy is very
proud of the beautiful white cruiser and
wished her to take the position as flag
ship in the North Atlantic squadron for
which she is admirably fitted so far as
interior accommodations are concerned
in order that in a conspicuous place she
might be present as an evidence not only
to visiting foreigners, but to people east,
of the excellent naval construction that
is possible on the Pacific coast.
