count of the corps treasury and found

some effort must be made to repIenish
the fund.

Special to the REcoRD-UNIox.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 9.-The State
Board of Trade discussed the wheat in
dustry of California this afternoon. Cen
eral Bidwell of Chico and M. Welch of
Stockton, both big growers of wheat
and Horace Davis of the Golden Gate
Flour Mills were invited to give their
views, but only Mr.. Davis was able to
accept. The present unprecedented de-
preston in the price of wheat. Mr.. Davis
maintained, was due to over-production,
and that production itself was due
to variety of causes not hitherto con-
sidered. He said that Calitornia's only
market is Great Britain, but with cheaper
labor India. Egypt and Southern
American countries, are now under
selling us in England. California" he
said, "raises over !, 1,OOO,0 900 tons of wheat,
only one-half of which is used for home
consumption. The remainder, under
the existing conditions, becomes a giut
on the market. The only solution of the
problem, in my opinion, lies in Califor-
MA farmers raising more diversified
crops and less wheat"
a resolution was then adopted recon-
mending California farmers to engage in
diversified farming, particularly the
cultivation of orchards.

gun was also in the cabin, recently dis
charged by Maxwell, the walls of the
cabin showing where it struck. A clock
and tin can lay on the floor, which Max

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.

cornerstone of Their Home at Bfng-
hamton, n. y, Laid.
BINGHAMToN IN. W, Oct. 9.-Fully
$1,000 visitors are in the city to-day, the
occasion being the cornerstone laying of
the home of the Commercial Travellers
Association of America. Flags and bunt-
ing greet the eye on every hand, while
the principal streets are so crowded with
visitors that they are almost impossible.
Commercial men from all over the United
States have gathered to participate in the
ceremonies. There are fully 5000 of them
In Blnghamton to-day.
The celebration included q parade
through the principal streets OF the city,
winding up at the home site. which is
situated on the top of South Mountain,
just within the southern limits of the
city. The parade was one Of the largest
ever seen in Southern New York. 1t
consisted OF many delegations OF COM
merclal men, thirty-fve Odd Follow
Lodges, the Masonic fraternity of the
Nineteenth and Twentieth New York
Districts, the Thirteenth Regiment Of the
Pennsylvania National Guard the local
ire department and many other civic
and fraternal organizations.
Arriving at the home, John Hodge,
Most Worshipful Grand Master Of the i.
and a. NJ. of New York State, laid the
cornerstone according to the Masonic
ritual. Colonel Archie Baxter of Elmira
delivered the Grafton of the day, after
which Governor Flower and Governor
Pattlson made short speeches, in which
each eulogized the commercial travellers
and said many pleasant things for them.

smugglers. superintendent West said
the charge was ridiculous.
William II. Schatt, passenger agent,
followed, but he did not know of any
thing of his own knowledge.
: Forget was recalled, and under an
adroit questioning by Mr.. Soft admitted
that friends of Captain Sch'nittberger had
approached him and begged him not to
testify that Schmittberger had got $500,
or it would ruin him. He professed to
not remember who had interceded for the
Captain. 1t was represented to him that
Captain Schmittberger would be dis
missed if the $500 story came out, and,
for the sake of the Captains family, For
get decided to keep it quiet. Forget,
apologizing for his imperfect knowledge
OF the English language, said he did not
want to go on record as saying he had
been approached only in Captain Schmitt-
berger's behalf. Some one had, in the
last few weeks, asked him not to testify
against police officials. A man named
Wolf two weeks ago had asked him not
to testify against Schmittberger.

specialist, in attendance upon the Gar,
says: 1.-THE Gar has powerful constitu-
ton and still weighs 200 pounds, though
he has lost much flesh since January Ist.
aud he should be able to make a good
fight against the disease, with favorable
climatic influences, as at Corfu or the
Island of Madeira. and without unforeseen
complications he may recover. The ILL.,
ness of the Gar is peculiar. His prInci-
pal trouble is granulated contraction of
the kidneys, in which the kidneys be-
come hard and change the tissue, besides
being subject to atrophy. This is ac-
companied by hypertrophy of the heart,
resulting from the enlargement OF its
muscular tissue. This latter leads to the
breathing difficulty and is often very
painful, spasms being complicated by
tits of funconsciousnesS. This is the case
with the Gar. There is no dropsy,
however. Diabetes in preliminary
stage has declared itself, but it is merely
sympathetic and the accompaniment of
the main trouble. When further ad-
vanced this malady frequently results in
partial or entire paralysis. Thus far, how
ever, there does not appear to be any i'm.
mediate danger of this with the Gar.
The most important requirement is total
abstinence from mental worry, and on
this point it has been found to be exceed
ingly difficult to convince the patient.
He should also have plenty of sleep and
food, and his digestion be regular. This,
with open air exercises and good climatic
conditions, is all that is necessary to effect
cure. "Under the most favorable cir
cumstances, however, the disease is of
lengthy duration, possibly years, and the
results are most uncertain"
Referring to the prospects of regency
in Russia, Professor Leyden remarked
THE question of the appointment of a re-
gent was discussed at Spala in my hear
ing, but no decision was reached
Professor Leyden concluded: "A re-
gency will become necessary, however, if
a cure is to be effected"

was produced showed that In Novem Der.

not remember to whom the money was
paid. Mr.. Gotf asked Mr.. Forget if Po-
llceman Degan had been removed from
! the pier because he refused to divide with
the Captain the money he received,
! Degan was present in court and
/ Forget identified him. Policeman Degan
testified that he was stationed on Ihe
