queath to it at her death. A handsome

Mrs. Stanford wishes TO commence in the

Army, is charged with misappropriating
the funds of that organization. This
statement in the ladies' meeting to-day
created sensation. The proceedings of
the convention were secret One of the
ladies, who is in high standing, makes the
statement that Mrs. Grubb has defaulted
to the amount of $500, and suit has been
brought against her bondsmen to recover.
Mrs. Grubb, she says, was reelected to
the office she held, and haG the confidence
of the ladies' to such an extent that the
auditors considered it only necessary to
make cursory report. How long the
shortage has existed is not stated, but at
the Washington encampment the books
were thought to be correct, and she was
reelected. At Indianapolis in 1898, when
new Treasurer was elected, Mrs. Grubb
failed to turn over some of the books,
and an investigation then disclosed the
discrepancy.
When Mrs. Carrie Y. Sheriff. who was
President in 1892, learned of the fact, she,
together with Attorney John Vanderslice
Of Philadelphia, conferred with Mrs.
Grubb in Camden, and suit was filed
through Voorhees, IL Co. of Camden. The
case will come to trial next month.
1t appears that nothing of this was
known to the members of the order until
to-day. In the very warm discussion
Mrs. Margaret A. Stevens of Camden, a
member of the Council of Administra-
ton, and Laura McLair. who was the
first National President, made urgent APP
peals in behalf of Mrs. Grubb, and sug-
gested that the ladies donate enough to
make up the deficiency, hoping to keep
the scandal quiet. Others. however. Bit
terly denounced the eXTreasurer, and
insisted that it take its course. The ma
jority voted in favor of the prosecution,
and the end is not yet.
The excuse made for Mrs. GruDb by
her friends is that when she used the
money 1t was to help her husband out Of
financial straits, and she could not re-
turn it when called upon.

Large Attendance at the Meeting at
san Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.-There was a
large attendance at to-night's Democratic
mass meeting in honor of Congressman
Mcguire. Hon. Dennis Spencer was in
the chair and introduced the speakers of
the evening. James III. Budd, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, spoke on
railroad issues and the expense of carry
ing on the State Government. lie COM
pared the cost of conducting the affairs of
this State in the past with other States in
the Union, and argued that the figures
he submitted proved conclusively that
this State cost more to run than any State
of the same proportionate population.
Congressman Mcguire contrasted the
present condition of affairs with that
existing before the war, and laid the
change for the worse to Republican
legislation in favor of a class instead of
the people. He contended that although
the present tariff bill was unsatisfactory
to the majority of Democrats, it was
much better than anything the Repub-
licans had ever given the country, and
would save enormous sums OF money to
California, besides rejuvenating the wool
industry. He said: 1.-THE sugar trust
has triumphed temporarily, but its
triumph has demonstrated more than
anything else that has occurred in recent
years, the infamy of the protective sys-
tenn, which, under the pretense of con-
serving the interests of the people,
merely confers powers of eXtortion upon
trusts and monopolies."

Then was taken up the important and
interesting matter of listening TO the re-

the State and College Secretaries. The
report of the Jubilee Worlds Conference
at Westminster Abbey, London, was
read by Norris Wenk of Stockton, who
gave a clear and succinct account of the
great conference, which was attended by
1900 delegates, representing twenty-siX
nations and speaking seventeen distinct

Another very interesting report was
that of the State Committee, which was
made by eX-STate President d. Edward
Collins, Chairman of the committee.
State Secretary John l.. Speares read a
most comprehensive account of the work
which the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation has accomplished in California
during the past year.
He mentioned the various association
buildings and gave high meed of praise
| to the young men of Redlands, who have
built the largest and finest building in
that town, and is finer than any Y. NJ. C.
\. in any town of like size in the State.
| The total value of the property of the
association the Secretary fixed at S655, ,074,
and the current running expenses at
$50, ,545.
The report of College Secretary Harry
Hillard revealed that the college associa-
tions have done wonderful work during
the year, and that every college or uni

now has an association.
The movement is being carried into the
high schools by university men, who
are endeavoring to establish in every

plauded.
The main address of the morning was
delivered by Willard d. Bali of Los An
geles, the General Secretary, who chose
for hisssubiect The Unemployed Young
Man; the Associations Opportunity"
Mr.. Ball discussed the unemployed
problem at great length. One great
trouble, he held, is that there are so many
inefficient men in the world, and he felt
quite certain that any willing man with
moderate ability can get work in any
city if he desires to work and uses some
persistence.
In the afternoon there were three adj
dresses. David Barrows, General Secre-
tary University of California, spoke upon

Wheat Market.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l4.-Somebody
stands to lose a million dollars on wheat,
and San Francisco grain men are wonder
ing who the victim is. For months L. f.
McGlautiin bought wheat for some un-
known speculator until ne had accumu-
between l75,000 and 200, 900 tons of wheat,
for which he paid an average price of
81 ~ per Genital. At present prices he
cannot realize within thirty-fve cents of
as much as he paid per GENITAL for this i'm
mense quantity of wheat 1t is said by
grain dealers here that ex-senator James
q. air is the only man on the coast who
has the ready money TO back McGlaufilin
IN such big deal, and it now looks as if
he had made an error in his calculations
that Will involve the losses of million
dollars. When McGlaufin commenced
to buy last winter wheat was never be-
fore SO low. Under the stimulus of big
purchases the price went up. But it soon
tell, and wheat is now lower than ever.
Ii is calculated that there are at present
between 100000 and 900, 900 tons of wheat

for. All this wheat must be shipped out

portant decision with reference to salt i'm
ported for the fisheries. Moulton in
qured whether salt imported for the

also for the refund OF the duty to export

omitted in the present law, it does not
appear to be inconsistent with the pro-
visions thereof. The department, there

LEXINGTON, Sept. 14.-Both Owens and
Breckenridge closed here tonight, Breck-
enridge speaking at the courthouse and
owens at the opera house. The Breck-
inridge forces made big parade and
demonstration, having several bands and
drum corps. Breckinridge's was simply
an arraignment of Mr.. Owens, repeating
his charges and criticising OWENS denial.
The opera house was full. Owens denied

that he Isl broken down gambler or that

A conference was held by Mr.. OWENS

WRECK OF THE MIRANDA.

Statement From DIR. Cook, Who En-
gIneered the Expedition.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Dr. Cook, who
engineered the Miranda expedition to
Greenland, was to-day shown a dispatch
from Oberlin, Ohio, saying many of the
crew of the steamer were drunk at the
time she was abandoned, and that the
reef on which the vessel struck was
plainly marked on the chart. He said:
while it is true some of the crew of
the steamer were intoxicated at times,
nobody was under the influence of liquor
at the time she struck the rocks. Ali the
intoxicating liquors on board the Mi
randa were locked up and in charge of
the steward. l am confident he never
gave any member of the crew anything
to drink, and did not abuse his trust.
ION the second night out on our re-
turn home, about 300 miles off the coast
of Greenland, the Miranda blew three
blasts of her whistles, which was the
signal of distress previously agreed upon.
1t was then decided TO abandon the
steamer, but the crew were not trans
ferred until three hours after. Before the
transfer had been effected the crew
broke the lockers containing the spirits,
and, beside drinking liberal quantity,
stuffed their pockets with bottles of
liquor. When they reached the schooner
some of them were very much intoxi-
Gated. But the point which l wish to
make is that nobody on the Miranda was
intoxicated at the time she struck the
reef.
I'm regard TO the statement of Pro-
fessor Wright that the reef was plainly
marked, | wish to say he is somewhat
mistaken. The only charts of the coast
that are obtainable are the United States
photographed and the British charts.
Neither OF these give the position. OF the
reef. The Danish charts, however, which
we're really the property of the Danish
Trading Company, give the position OF
the reef. Unfortunately, we did not
have these Danish charts, or the accident
would not have hapDenedD -

Damages Paid.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-THE first
damages growing out of the collision be-
tween the steamers Oceanic and the City
of Chester have been paid by the Oc-
cidental and Oriental Steamship COM
pany to the family of the victims. The
accident occurred in 1888 in San Fran
cisco harbor. Suits were brought in be-
half of the six minor children of Colum-
bus Davis and of three other children
whose parents were drowned. The jury
awarded the Davis children $4,000, and
the steamship company appealed the case.
The appeal is still pending, but the COM
pany finally decided to pay the claim in
full. The results of the three other suits
hinged on the decision OF the Davis case,
and they, too, have been settled. In all
$4,000 have been paid out SO far by the
company.

for her TO identify, which she said Foley
raised over her head and threatened her
with.
At this point Mrs. Hartley began to
sob, rushed from the courtroom and
threw herself on the floor of an adjoining
room. Her hysterical sobs could be
plainly heard in the courtroom.
The important part Of the testimony
ELECTED on cross-eXamination to-day is as
follows;
Woodburn, isn't this the reason you
shot Mr.. Foley: Whenhe stated he would
go to Salt Lake and tx the papers, was it
not because he refused to sign the paper
right then that you shot him?"
The witness replied, very vehemently:

The prosecution called Mrs. Stewart

Mrs. Hartley on the evening of the day
OF the shooting, and she said to her: II
told Senator Foley at the time OF the
shooting to turn his face to me. l never
struck any one in the back, and when he

The jury was taken to examine the

LONDON, Sept. ii. = The Lucania

The Lucania's days runs were: Az,
5l2, 494, ola, 900 and 337, making a total of
2,Sl0 knots, her average speed being 2l.S4
knots. The singular feature of the trip
is the fact that the Lucanias time for
both eastward and westward voyages is
identically the same, namely, days, s
hours and IS minutes, but on the present
eastward trip she covered % miles more
than on the record-breaking trip last
month. The Lucania, by her present
performance, firmly establishes her posi-
ton as Queen of the Seas, having crossed
the ocean in both directions in less time
than any other steamer. She holds the
highest average of hourly speed on rec
ord, 2l:S9 knots, made last June, and her
800 knots covered in one day is still the
