CALIFORNIA; SECRETARY DEAD

San Francisco, Oct. 3O.-E. G. Waite,
secretary of state, died early this
morning at his home in Alameda,
after short illness. His friends at
tribute his death to a general physical
collapse, brought on by worry over
political matters. Being an independ-
ent candidate for reelection as secre-
tary of state, it became necessary for
him to secure a large number of sig
natures to his petition to have his
name placed on the official ballots,
and his failure in this undertaking
is said to have been the immediate
cause of his breakdown.
edwin G.. Waite was born in
Springwater, N. T., June II, 1927,
! and was educated in the surrounding
schools. He was in his last college
year when the gold fever broke out,
and he came to California, arriving
here in 1S49, at the age of %. He
went to the mining regions and later
to Nevada City, where he edited the
Journal, weekly paper, several years,
and then the Transcript, a daily, for
nine years. In 1856 he met and mar
ried Miss Julia E. Stone, of Nevada
City, The result of this union is five
daughters, all but one being single
and living. He served two years as
treasurer of Nevada county, conducted
mercantile business several years
and then accepted position in the
internal revenue department, where
he remained until the close of the
civil war. He served as naval officer
during Grants two terms, and in the
San Francisco mint under Hayes. o.
his election as secretary of state he
moved his family from Alameda to
Sacramento, and his term of office
would have expired January 1, 1885,

THE POPE'S SPEECH.

Rome, Oct 3O.-The text of the
pope's speech to the conference held
to consider the union of Eastern and
Western churches has just been made
public. although the speech was de-
nvered on the Oath. After praisine q :
who had helped to bring about tine
conference, he said: I'VE wish that
all governments alike had embraced
this grand ideal, inasmuch as the
work, if achieved, will be for the in
terest and benefit of the entire world;
but political views and still more,
we regret to say, the unreasonable
jealousies of some of the governments,
which show in what condition the
papacy is placed, have prevented these
reunions from having the large and
solid results rightly expected from
them. Above ALL we must lament
the absence of the patriach Armen-
lars. We shall not on this account,
however, recede from our purpose
and, even if we count only within
certain limits on political union, moth
ing will prevent us from solving the
grand problem from the religious side,
while awaiting more propitious times
for the rest of the work"

HIROSHIMA, Oct. 30.-The Japan
ese forces which have been pursuing
the Chinese north of the YaIu river
captured at Atung twenty guns, many
rifles and quantities of ammunition
and provisions.
London, Oct. 3O.-The Times tomor
row will publish the following dis
patch from Tien Tsin:
The greater par, of the Chinese
forces were destroyed before Chu
Leang Chang was evacuated. Gen.
Hung's official report praises the valor
Of the. troops. but confesses they were
Outmatched by the enemy's weapons
and training.
Col. Won Hannekin, a German Off
Ger who was formerly aide de camp
of Ii Hung Chang, and who rendered
great service to the Chinese admiral
at the great naval battles fought be-
tween the fleets Of China and Japan,
has been summoned to Pekin by an
imperial edict to consult in regard to
the military situation.
JAPANESE DETERMINED.
Washington, Oct 3O:-Minister Den
by, in a cable to the state department
from Peking today, says the Chinese
forces have been defeated at Chen
Lien -Cheng and have retreated to the
mountains. Also, he reports the jap
anese have taken one of the Chinese
forts at Port Arthur. The scene of
the first engagement is just across
the Yalu river, in Manchuria, and
it marks the first real aggressive move
ment by the Japanese on Chinese soil.
The Japanese are supposed to have
formally entered upon the campaign
with MOukden, the Manchurian capi-
tai, as the objective point. Unless
they are fully prepared to make a
winter campaign, something hereto
fore unknown i'll Eastern warfare,
they will be obligedS to force the fight
ing, as only 15 days remain before
the cold weather comes. In the neigh
borhood of Port arthur, where the
second Japa.iese success is reported,
the winter climate is not SO severe,
and Operations LAY be maintaaied
until much later. Experts in Wash
ington believe Port Arthur cannot be
reduced by the Japanese without the
use of heavy siege artillery, and SO
far as reported the Japanese are not
supplied with this. Inasmuch as the
capture of Port Arthur would give
the Japanese control of the gulf of
Pe-Chi-Li, and cut off the Chinese
capital from communication with the
sea, it ! is thought the japanese will
make a most determined effort to cap
ture the fortress. The belief that they
are prepared to do this, even if it
involves a long siege and a winter
campaign, is borne out by the fact
that agents of the japanese govern
ment in this country have quietly
bought UP vast store of goat skins
and practically cornered the market
The skins are commonly used in
China and Japan as a necessary part
of the soldiers winter raiment.
London, Oct. 3O.-A Tie1-Tsin dis
patch says that Major Won Hannekin
has left for Peking to have an au-
dience with the emperor.
The government has allowed all
steamers to carry a cargo of rice,
but this permission Is too late to pre-
vent a winter rice famine.
General Mich has been appointed to
command the troops at Hankow.

BRILLIANT CAMPAIGN.

NEW YORK, Oct 3O.-The declara

state democratic organization Is sup

received with incredulty by many
who still insist that the faction Is in
favor Of Hills defeat, and rolling up
as large a vote as possi-
BILE for Wheeler. His adherents today
expressed much qualification at the
number and character Of the Cooper
Union meeting last night and are con-
ddent that the democratic reform tick
ct will make good showing on elec-
tion day. Many anti-Hil democrats,
it is believed, will vote straight for
Morton, taking the ground, as one Of
them remarked today, that vote for
Wheeler will be only half a vote
against Hill and that Wheeler votes
are intended to aid Morton anyway.
The Hill men are as confident as ever.
referring with special satisfaction to
the personal fight their candidate is
making and the enthusiasm with
which he is being received by his sup
porters. Most of them, however, do
hot seek to conceal their disappoint-
ment or anger that his candidacy has
not received open and active encour-
agement from the national admin
istration.
Republicans abate none of their
claims a1d insist that what with the
general republican tendency this year,
and the democratic detection from
Hill, the latter will be showed under.
There has been little betting so far
in the campaign, but reports Of wagers
at the stock exchange and elsewhere
show odds on Merton, not unfrequent-
ly at two to one. Smaller odds are
given on Strong against Grant, the
perfection of Tammany organization
throughout tho county making the
supporters of the committee of sew
enty cautious about stalking their
money, however much they anticipate
the great anti-Tammany uprising.
Hill democrats were pleased today
by the announcement that Speaker
Crisp had cancelled engagements in
order to speak in this city or Brook
lyn. They are also much pleased by
a letter for Hill from ChCauncey F.
Black, chairman of the national league
of democratic clubs.
The fact that Strong made speeches
at number of meetings this evening
in the downtown east side district Is
regarded with favor by practical pol
iticians who are allied with the COM
mittee of seventy, as they think it
will have a good effect on the class of
voters who wish to see their candi-
date and know something of his per-
sonality.
Senator Murphy passed much of the
day at democratic headquarters in

FEEDING WHEAT TO HOGS.

.The practice of feeding hogs on
wheat is growing popular out West,

ton to everything bearing on the E; sub a
iect. Pound for pound wheat is su-
ner;or tn corn for fattening hogs by
7 9eteof to IS : per cent. I estimate that q 2
fair return per bushel of wheat fed
to hogs is eleven pounds of live pork.
In Kansas, under the conditions as

corn existing in the last three years,
wheat has become an unusual ana
very important factor in the feeding
of all classes of farm animals. 1t is
healthful to swine of all ages, and
for cattle it has, at least as a part
Of the grain ration, very high value. e.
While corn and wheat approximate

TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE.
Seven Persons Smothered to Death
in the Catastrophe.

New York, Oct. 3O.-Seven people
were smothered to death by smoke In
a tenement house fire at 216 West
Thirty-second street this morning.
They were George Friedman, years
Levi Friedman, g.; Annie Appleblat,
%; Lena Mitchell, "a; Mrs. Margaret
Killian, 20; Jacob Killian, her son, 40;
George Levi, Mrs. Killian's grandson,
20. Lena Friedman, mother of the
dead children, jumped from third
story window. She was fatally in
jured. The house Is a five-story brick
tenement. There were seven stair
ways and the only means of escape
was by a narrow stairway. The fire
was discovered at o'clock by pas
er-by. There was no sign of life To
enter the house meant death. The
only hope for those within was in
arousing them by shouting. In g.
few minutes there was not a-swindow
in front of the house that did not
contain the wild and frightened face
of a man, woman, or child, framed in
smoke, which poured forth in vol
umes.
By the fire escape twenty tenants
reached the ground, descending in the
midst of flame and smoke, before the
ladder trucks arrived. On the third
story the flames spread over the en-
tire rear portion. There lived Ma
than Friedman, his wife Lena, three
young children, and two boarders,
Annie Appleblat and Lena Mitchell.
Nathan Friedman was aroused by the
smoke and noise. Clutching the baby
in his arms, he sprang to the win
dow and descended by the fire escape.
Mrs. Friedman, too, had rushed to the
window, but not where the fre-escape
was. She leaped from the window
and fell into the rear basement urea.
The Friedman children and the two
boarders slept in an inrer apartment.
The fire had not reached them, but
smoke filled the room. George and
Levy Friedman, and Lena Mitchell
were still in bed when found, and the
peaceful expression on their faces
showed that they had no knowledge
of the death that came to them so sud-
denly. Annie Appleblat was lying
dead on the floor. Evidently she had
been aroused and had stopped to don
her clothing and died before she had
finished. On the fourth floor Mrs.
Kil1ian and son were dead in bed;
the grandson was on the floor half
way to the rear window. The dam
age to the house will not exceed
$4,000.

CHIEF ROGERS EXONERATED.
Seattle's Political Scandals-A Noted
Soldier Dies.

Seattle, Oct. 30.-The investigation
before the police commissioners of
Chief of Police Rogers on charges pre-
ferred by John Collins, proprietor of
the Seattle Telegraph, ended today
and Chief Rogers was exonerated of
taking bribes or receiving money from
gamblers, but ex-Mayor Harry White
was exposed by Governor John H
McGraw as having resigned to avoid
the publication of charges that he
owned an interest in gambling games
while he was mayor and of accepting
bribes from gamblers in lieu of police
protection. White himself confessed
on the stand that he allowed ordi-
nances to be violated and declared
that he should be impeached then and
there.
Chas. T. Cowden, one of the party
of cavalry which captured Jefferson
Davis, disguised in female attire, in
1865, died of heart disease here today
aged 50 years.

REMINDER OF HOME.

The man from Kansas was making
a trip across the Atlantic and during
the passage the weather was extreme
ly boisterous. One morning when 1t
was blowing great guns the Kansan
appeared on deck. Nobody was In
sight except the captain.
"Go below there" he shouted.
The passenger looked around to
see who he was talking to.
"You mean me?" he yelled back
when he saw there was no one else
in sight.
"Of course I do; go below" and
the captain drew alongside.
"Well 1 guess not" protested the
Kansan. I'm up here to see how
one of your mountain high waves
and terrific gales compares with
what we have in Kansas in the way
of cyclones. This amt g. patching
to what I've seen out our way"
Before the captain could offer
further objection big green wave
came curling over the place where
the passenger stood, and the next
thing he knew he was swept of his
feet and carried aft over ropes and
boats and all the paraphernalla or
a ships deck and landed in one cor
ner. where he was saved from being
washed overheard. When they got
him out he had broken leg, twist
ed shoulder, sprained wrist, his
face looked as If it had been dragged
backward through a briar patch and
he was unconscious. They carried
him to the captains room and after
much effort restored him to conscious
ness. He gazed around minute IN
bewilderment, and his eyes fell Oh
the captain.
"By gravy, Cap" he said feeoiy
"that reminded me of home, only !,

STAGE DRIVER SHOT.

NEVADA CITY, Cal, Oct. 3O.-Ar-
thur Myer, driver and one Of the
owners of the stage running between
this place and North Bloomfield, was
shot and instantly killed by a high
way robber this afternoon. At Rock
creek, three miles north Of here, the
incoming stage was stopped by a
lone highwayman who commanded
Meyer to get down out of the box.
Meyer refused and the bandit fired
twice at him with q revolver. The
second shot passed through the dr!v-
er's body and he fell forward into
the boot in the front of the coach. G..
III. Bovee of Sierra county, who was
the only passenger, was riding on
the box with Meyer. When the robber
began firing Bovee Jumped from the
coach and ran into the forest. The
robber sent three bullets whizzing
past him, but he escaped unhurt. So
far as known the robber secured no
booty:
