He Has Been on Tour of the Hy-

Congressman Barham of Santa Rosa
was in the city on Saturday on his return
from trip through the hydraulic min
ing region Of Nevada and Placer Counties.
In an interview Mr.. Barham expressed
the opinion that the Government should
take hold and settle the debris question.
which he thought could be done by con-
ducting the waste matter in fumes from
the mountains to the tule basins in the
valley. This, he thinks, would reclaim
many thousand acres Of waste lands.
The cost OF this work would be euor-
nous, and Mr.. Barham thinks only the
Government could carry it out.
The plan is not new one by any
means. having been frequently suggested
OF late years and just as often condemned
as i'm practicable, or at least involving an
expense far greater than any benefit that
could possibly result, even if the plan
were successfully carried out.

Secretary Merton Issues Another Order on
the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Tin accordance
with section of the act of congress,
approved March 3, 1891, and as amend
ed in the act approved March 2, 1899,
Secretary Morton has issued the fol-
lowing:
1t is ordered that all beef offered for eXporta
tion, whether fresh, salted canned, corned or
packed, shall be accompanied by a certificate
of an inspector of this department, showing
that the cattle from which it pro-
duced were free from disease. and
that the meat was sound and wholesome. And,
in order that it might be determined whether
all beef exported has been so inspected and
found free from disease and wholesome, it is
further ordered that the s1eat or all
other species of animals which is packed
in barrels, cases, other packages,
shall be legibly marked in such manner as to
clearly indicate the species OF animaiS from
which TIE meat was produced. Meat which is
not so marked and which is not accompanied
by a certificate of inspection will be subjected
20 anpacking and examination in order to as
certain if it is uninspected beef.
Notice is hereby given to all exporters OF
beef, whether said beef is fresh, sailed, canoed,
corned, packed or otherwise prepared, and to
owners and agents of vessels upon which said
beef is exported. that no clearanceS can be
given to any vessel having on board said beef,
until the provisions of this order are complied
with.
AS reliable evidence has been submitted
showing that large quantity of inspected bee;
has been prepared for export, the identify of
which has been lost in the process of curing,
and that the immediate enforcement of
this order would prevent the fulfllment
of many contracts now outstanding: and as
it is also evident that the inspection force
of this department must be increased before
the affected trade can be properly accommo-
dated. it is directed that this order shall not
be enforced until January l. 1895.
All orders and regulations of this depart
ment inconsistent with this order are hereby
revoked.

An Effort Making to compel the Mayor to
Close Saloons sunday.
CHICAGO, Oct. S.-The prospects are
said to be bright for the city to become
as dry on Sunday as New York is re-
ported as being at the present time.
There has for years been a state law
prohibiting the sale or giving away
of liquor on Sundays, but it has
never been enforced. Mayor Swift
is reported to have said that it could
not be enforced and that the police
had enough to do without attempting
such p thing. But there are others
who think that it can be enforced, and
who have been encouraged by the re-
ports from New York to make the trial
here. The initial steps toward compell-
ing Mayor Swift to enforce the law
were taken yesterday. 1t is the pur-
pose to begin mandamus proceedings
to compel the mayor to enforce the
law. This is something new in law
practice, but there are number of
well-known lawyers here who assert
that it can be done There is no doubt
but what it will be tried.

LARGER BEER TAX.

1t Is Said Secretary Carlisle Will Favor 1t
to Raise Needed Revenue.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Secretary Car
Isle is already gathering data for his
annual report and recommendations to
congress. 1t is asserted that one of
his leading recommendations will be
the imposition of 81 additional tax per
barrel on beer as being the quickest
and simplest method of raising
the needed revenue. It is believed that
the brewers throughout the country
have received an intimation of the Sec
retary's proposed action and they are
determined, if possible, to defeat it in
congress. It has often been stated that
this additional 81 per barrel on beer
would result in raising $50, 600, 900 rev.
enue annually. This would go some
way toward filling the hole now il tho
treasury.

A sHlPwRECK RECORD.

The Spanish Governments Has Been Par
ticuIarlv Unfortunate.
The recent loss of the Reina Regente
recalls the fact that Spain, once the
greatest naval power OF the world, has
lost not less than six hundred men-of-
war in shipwreck since the beginning
of the sixteenth century. There is am
Pile documentary evidence to that
effect and the greatest disasters to the
Spanish fleets are here recounted in
their chronological order:
OF the fleet sent against Algiers in
1918 under Admiral Don Hugo de Mon
Gala thirty vessels foundered in a
storm, with ZOO men on board.
Another expedition against Algiers,
sent by Emperor Charles ", in 1541,
lost 14O vessels on the rocks of Moroc-
co. $500 men losing their lives.
OF the fleet that sailed in 1862, under
Gen. Mendoza, to deliver Oran from
the Mussulmans, twenty ships, includ-
ing the flagship, with the above-named
general on board, never returned.
A year later, in the fall of 1868, a
cyclone in the bay of Cadiz sent fifteen
of the governments best caravals to
the bottom.
to be invincible, met her doom in the
English channel eighty-one out of 13C
vessels sinking with most of their
crews. The loss of men is estimated
at II, 900.
Fourteen of Admiral Don Antonio
Navarro's vessels foundered in storm
off the Mexican coast near San Juan
de Ulloa in 1890
Six wears later fearful storm in the
Biscayan bay caused the loss of forty
one vessels belonging to the fleet of
Admiral Martin de Padilla.
Not long after this Admiral Marquis
de Santa Cruz lost ten vessels, with o.
300 men, on the Corsican coast
After a long pause Gen. Jose Pizarro
lost five men-of-war in an engagement
with the English in 1741.
Within the last 125 years the records
are much easier of access and the
figures can be given absolutely correct.
In this time the Spaniards lost twelve
large battleships under steam and
twenty-one frst-class sailers, with
1870 guns; twenty-tree frigates, with
500 guns, and more than 100 gun boats,
torpedo boats, briggs, galeotes, etc. The
loss of life in this period is conserva-
lively estimated at &c, 500 men.
Thus the worst enemy of Spanish
supremacy on the seas seems to be
other than man. More than double
the number of ships have been lost by
the inclemency of the elements than
were lost in battle Philadelphia

against Wagner, but it is expected
he will be indicted. A suspicion ex-

funds from the church of which he

They Hold Up an Electric Car and Rob the
Passengers.
CHICAGO, Oct. S.-An Evanston cleo
trio car was stopped last night between
Argyle park and Edgewater by five
masked men, shortly after 8 o'clock.
Two of the robbers covered the motor
man and conductor and the other
three entered the car with drawn
revolvers. There were eighteen pas
sengers. The women screamed and
those of the men who made a move
ment to escape were given an opportu-
nifty to look into the mouth of cooked
revolver. When the passengers were
under control one of the robbers quick
ly passed down the car, appropriating
the valuables of every one present.
Within five minutes from the time the
car was stopped the hold-up was a
thing of the past, the robbers had
escaped and the car was speeding on
again. The conductor lost all the
fares he had collected during the day
and some of the passengers were re-
lieved of watches and other little
trinkets of value and money to the ex-
tent of several hundped dollars.
